USE OF GLOVES IN EARLY DAYS.
Sometimes They Were Made to Rep
 resent the Man Who Wore Them.

In the early days everything was not regulated for the people. as it is now by the government and the law courts. Europe was still young then and peo pie had rough and ready means of dealing with one another. of buying and selling or giving goods and prop erty and settling disputes. glove, as it was very close indeed to a mans hand. came in course Of time to be looked Upon as taking tre place of the hand itself, and sometimes took the mans place and was made to repre- sent him.
 For example: To open fair then it was necessary to have the proter- ton and consent of the great lord in
 whose country it was going to be held. Those who wished to open the fair would come to the nobleman and pe- tition him to be present. He might ne
 very busy or bored at the idea of hay ing to go. yet he would know that it must be opened or his people would be discontented. So he would say to the leaders of the people: No my trusty fellows, I can't open the fair in per son but I will send my glove to do it. | You all know my glove. Nobody has one l like it in the country. It is the one my | lady mother embroidered for me in colored silks and silver wire, and it has ] a deep violet fringe. You can hang it above the entrance of your fair grounds
 as a sign that you are acting with my permission. If any one disputes your
 rights or touches his masters glove
 will attend to hin7. that's all!" So the glove would travel in state to open the i fair.-St Nicholas.

Tucson, Feb. 4. Special Correspond ence of The Republica n)-Alex Rossi has been awarded d renewal of the contract he had with the city for the feeding of the city prisoners at twenty. cents per cover.
 The receipts in 1908 for the city as shown by the recorders books were $69. 9.40S.22 and the disbursements s6S,- 3S5.2O. In footing up for 1903 it appears that the liabilities over the assets are now s1570.04.

The committee reported estimate of cost at SSS60, spec flying items. The old pipe was report ed inadequate, not permitting of high pressure for fire purposes.

HOW CRIMINALS ARE DUMPED
 INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Now all of this goes to prove one of the most important facts in connection with Italian emigration; that the ques- tor of each district is slowly and effec- tually clearing the district of it's crimi- nal class byISumping the lot into North and South America, the most danger ous coming to the United States as the best field for their future operations.
 Here is a syllogism:-
 Since American police records and prison statistics. especially those of the United States secret service. show large and increasing numbers of Ital- ian criminals in this country:
 And since the mass of these can en- ter only by immigration:
 And since immigrant must have a passport from the chief of his local police district:
 And since every criminal record is kept in the district in which he was born and he must go there to get the birth certificate on which be gets his passport;
 Then these thousands of passports issued annually to criminals are given | by chiefs of police who know the re- cords of the men who are receiving them and are thus deliberately ridding their districts of them to save, them ! selves trouble and increase their repu- | tation for efficiency.
 l That those secret instructions which are issued from Rome to the chief of each district advise any such proceed
 ure do not believe. They do advise, so l I have been reliably informed, that passports be not issued to prostitutes
 easy of detection or to persons over | forfy- nipH hN i'm asmuch as both classes are very nearly
 sure to be turned back and to become | a matter of expense to the government That is the bugaboo of Italian states

PROSPECTS FOR RAIN.

Old timers say that the condition of the weather yesterday was the best indication of rain that the valley has experienced in long time. They say that if the wind continues to blow for twenty-four hours as it did yesterday and in the same direction, from the south, rain is an assured fact in a few days. If this be true it will be hailed with joy by the ranchers of the val ley. Net only the ranchers. but others are wishing for rain. The condition of the roads at present is something fearful on account of the dust.

It is notable on ac- count of the clearness of the Objects in the view. Though small, most of the people in the picture can be clear ly recognized and Carl Hayden's big hat is plainly in evidence.

Death scenes In Poetry.

Poets are. if possible, worse offend
ers in the matter of their death scenes
than are noveIists. A man pulls a two
dram vial of some poison from his
breast, swallows the contents, proceeds
to make a 200 line speech without a
pang or a gasp, staggers gracefully
backward to a conveniently placed
seat, drops upon it, clasps the region
of the heart with both hands and dies
after little convulsiye movement of
the legs: Heart disease. too. carries
off herOines in a fashion quite I'M
known to doctors, and, although it is
of the variety known as broken
heart has characteristics which must
not be generally associated with frac-
ture of so important an Organ.-Brft-

SEED is NATURES GEM.
1t Is the One Priceless Jewel In Her

1t Is the One Priceless Jewel In Her
Treasure House.
In natures great treasure house the
seed is the one priceless gem. Com
pared to it the great deposits of coal.
the mines of silver and gold and of
diamonds ard precious stones are as
nothing. Man counts his wealth in
dollars and cents, in mining and rail
road shares and in houses and lands.
while his primal necessities are limited
to food and clothing. Without these
all other tokens of affluence are void.
These indeed are the sources of true
wealth, and the grass Of the field sup
plies them all directly or indirectly
The cereal grains wheat, rye, oats,
barley, rice and Indian corn-which
are the seeds of true grasses, are con-
vertible directly into food. The succu-
lent leaves and culm of the wild grass
es furnish sustenance to millions of
cattle, sheep and goats and are trans
formed by them into flesh, milk, wool
and hides, thus indirectly providing
meat and clothing. They also protect
the soil from flood and drought and
landslide. Sending their fibrous roots
down among the shifting sands of the
seashore, they bind the unstable par
ticles into a mass so dense as to check
the erosion of the waves. Thus grass,
the synonym of frailty, is able to raise
its tiny green scepter against the de-
structive power of the elements.-Out-

Dean Farrar soon after he went to
ST. Margaret's, Westminster, was din
ing at Professor Jowett's and toward
dessert took up the parable against
Dives His voice rose higher and
higher he spread silence around him,
and he was heard laundering out:
what l complain of as a clergyman
is that l have to do what no layman
has to do l have to beg and beg in
vain. Fashionable ladies come to my
church glittering with precious gems,
and yet they will not sacrifice one dia-
mond from their grand tiaras in order
to save some erring sister from de-
struction." When he finished the 81
lence grew sultry. All the hearers
looked gloomily at their plates. Then
Jowett, who had been looking as
though he meant mischief, squeaked
out, what l object to as a clergyman
is that l have to exaggerate so!'-St.
