ORIGIN OF THE BOIL WEEVIL

ORIGIN OF THE BOIL WEEVIL.
III happened many years ago
In the cactus wildS of Mexico;
A tumble bug sat down to rest
On the shifting wing of doodle bugs
nest.
In his Swallow-tail coat of Paris Green
A handSomer bug was never seen.
me doodle bug, too, was queenly and
fair,
And her bosom had never known a
care;
But her heart-throbs thummed like a
fly in jug
rs she gazed on the handsome tumble
bug.
So, shaking the dust from her royal
head,
She approached her guest and blush
ingIg sud.
"9Tis leap year, stranger.
Then he arose
And pointedly asked
"Do you propose?n
Invitations S6on vent around
To all the bugs that could be found,
And the crowd that gathered was not
the least
That ever attended a marriage feast:
And the pomp and glare and the great
renown,
Were never surpassed in doodle bug
town.
AT the midnight hour the knot was
tied,
And. the bridegroom kissed his lovely
bride.
While the parting guests joined, one
and all,
In the farewell song called after the
Bail.
The honeymoon passed like summer
dream,
While tine flowed on like crystal
stream
And all seemed we'll with husband and
wife
As they settled down to practical life,
yankee Doodle, his wife's best song,
Mr.. Tumble Bug heard the whole day
long,
And her ladyShip laughed till her eyes
turned red,
When he rolled his dough and stood
on his head
So the eeireesn bug had plenty to do
When it came to making living for
two,
For he aided his wife, as a good man
should;
Brought in the water and cut the
wood,
Washed the dishes and swept the hall
And pushed her To town ON "a rubber
tired ball.
But when their children began To come
AS thick as AeaS in bull pups home,
Their green food instincts were too
quiet
For the "outstinkS" of their fathers
died;
So bidding their parents fond adieu,
They spread their pinions for pas
lures new.
,rbey halted not on the yellow sand,
mai CLEANS like gold on the Rio
- Grande,
Rut rising high over hill and plain,
trnev fell in the cotton belt like rain,
And buried themselves, both body
and soul,
Ia the heart of the Texas cotton boil.

ELECTRIC ENGINES SUCCESS
Remarkable Results of Tests of Sneed
Close Races.

One of the most important events that
have taken place in railroad and electrical
circles in years occurred at Schenectady.
NJ Y, Saturday. when the official trial of
the electric locomotive which has been
built for the New York Central railroads
terminal service into New York civ was
held vas
The tests were most successful in every
way, and 1t is declared they fully demon.
strated that the electric locomotive is the
coming power for railroad traffic Sc
rles OF races was run during the day and
In every instance the electrical engine
proved more than the equal of the steam
engines, picking up speed in a manner lit
tie short OF wonderful and easily outdis-
tancing it's rivals
The most exciting part of the program
was race between the electric locomo-
tive and three steam engines, and the ease
with which the new engine beat the others
was the greatest surprise of the day.
Another pretty race was between the
electric locomotive and the New York Cen
trail engine Mohawk. 1t was the closest of
the day. Nine heavy cars were attached to
the electric locomotive while the Mohawk
was run alone. For the first two miles
neither could gain, but as the racers near
ed the substation the electric locomotive
slowly pulled ahead, and gained so rapidly
steam engine gave up the race after an
other mile had been run. According to the
figures taken of the run, a rate of more
than f1fty-five miles was reached while
the electric locomotive was attached to a
600-ton train, and when drawing 500 and
ly seventy miles an hour. With the short
stretch of track at the service of the COM
pany for the tests this is considered more
than satisfactory.

WILL PURSUE THE WAR
RUSSIA NOT IN THE MOOD TO AC-
CEPT INTERVENTION.
Count Cassini Hints That Current Re
ports Are to Help the
Japanese Loan.

Russia will pursue the war in the far
east to the bitter end-that is, until Russia
has conquered"
These words are the keynote of an en-
phatic statement made by Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, last night. Sew
eral times recently the ambassador has
categorically denied the possibility of any
intervention In the war, but the recurrence
of rumors that the powers contemplated
mediation has caused the ambassador to
reiterate on behalf of his government its
position regarding intervention or media
ton of any kind.
Il deem it my duty" said he, "to reiter-
ate what l have SO often said, that Russia
will not suspend in any case her military
operations in the far east. All rumors and
reports regarding the possible success of
the direct overtures for peace, which Japan
is said to have made to Russia, and regard
ing the mediation of the powers, are, in my
opinion, started for the purpose of con-
vincing the public that the end of the war
is close at hand. In this way it is hoped
that the public may be Led to believe that
japanese loans offer attractive investments.
Russia can no more admit of interfer-
ence than Great Britain could in the Trans
vaal or than could the United States in her
war with Spain. Where the prestige of
country is at stake all other cons dera-
lions are and must be put aside Some
will influence Russia to end hOstilities. Such
an opinion is based on tie false assumption
of Russas financial resources. There
is doubt whatever that Russia, whose
annual income exceeds milliard dol
lars, cannot be Influenced in her attl-
tude toward the outcome of the war
by the amount of war expenditures.
Is 1t not altogether out of the question that
Russia, who did not expect war, should, In
the moment when she has modified her
army and is sending corps after corps IN
fighting readiness to the far east, suddenly
call a halt on hostilities, particularly after
she has for nearly year. without any dill
ficulty or recourse to extraordinary meas
ures been able to carry the extra expense!
1T is not within my scope to comment
upon the new japanese loan. That is an
affair for the bankers and for the public
who are able to decide what advantages or
disadvantages the investment offers. But
there can be no necessity for commenting
upon Russias credit. Any one acquainted
with the Paris exchange is abe to convince
himself of the solidity of Russa's finances

RFBUKFD BY THE PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Roosevelt Refuses to Appoint
Nominee of Lodges Son-in-Law

A dispatch from Boston says: The at
tempt of Representative Gardner, Senator
Lodges son-in-law. to prevent the reap
pointment of Postmaster Pinkham of
Haverhill and name man of Gardner S
choosing has caused President Roosevelt to
send him e letter. in which he states his
position in regard to making appointments.
you speak of your privilege of naming
the Haverhill postmaster" says the Presi-
dent "In your letter to Mr.. Moody you say:
It's not a parallel case in Massachusetts,
to those other states where senators select
the postmasters. In Massachusetts it has
been understood that a congressman shall
select the postmasters in the cities and
towns in his own district
ITO clear uD any possible miSapprehen-
sion. I would like at the outset to say that
the senators do not select postmasters in
any state while I am President.
u consult them always and in the vast
majority of cases act on the recommends
tons they make. but the selection is mine
and not theirs and time and gain during
the three years I have been President
have positively refused to select individuals
suggested to me for nominal ton as postmas-
tiers by various senators. If am not sat
isfied with the character and standing of
the man whose name is suggested to me
never nominate him.
81 understand perfectly that under the
first article of the Constitution the sena-
tors are part of the appointing power and
that therefore the appointment must repre-
sent an agreement between them and me-
and. as the acquaintance of the senator
with his state is always much greater than
the knowledge of the President can possibly
be. it is the normal and natural thing that
/ should listen to his advice to these ap-
pointments. and generally do so.
But I stop listening to it as soon as I
realize that he is advising me wrongly.
The relation of congressman to the
appointments rests not upon law. but pure
ly upon custom. =
II wish to point out to you that it is also
only of cabinet officers but even senators
of the opposite party, and, occasionally. to
the wishes Of congressman of the opposite
party In the case of nominations to Office
in their own towns
=! regret to have to take action which
will be displeasing to you. but do not see
how can avoid doing so in this case,
