Handing Hepburn a Few.

When Senator Hepburn was on
his way to Washington from Alaska
he took occasion, while at Pocatello,
to say something to the effect that
The Statesman was INDUCING in
opera bouffe politics. III view Of
the performances of the senator be-
fore and since that time. the term
was rather carelessly chosen.
In the hight of all that has since
occurred it would seem that the
senator and his Iieutenants had
ample reason to feel that the pro-
ceedings was anything but opera
bouffe in character. They had to
make the hardest fight of their lives
to land the appointment of Wooley.
They found it rather serious opera
bouffe, and they have equally serious
work ahead to keep their methods
covered up from public inspection.
There are good many people who
realize that the senator is very much
given to opera bouffe performances.
Such incidents as the palmlng off of
the home of anolher as that of the
senator during the visit of the presi-
dent to this state have intensified
this feeling. When the presidential
party reached Wallace, they were
entertained by the senator in one of
the fine homes of that place. Mem
bers of the party, including the
newspaper correspondents, were per-
mitted to carry away the impression
il was the home of the senator, and
pictures of it were published as the
residence of the Idaho member.
The publication of the picture of the
senator in a gallery OF the million
aires Of the senate has also had
something to do with fixing public
opinion ON the general subject.
These things are not surprising to
idaho people who are well informed
upon the characteristics of our sena-
tor, but it is mot improbable that, if
President Roosevelt knew how cley-
er the latter is upon the opera bouffe
stage, he could not be deceived by
him 50 easily. Statesman Rep.)

FLYING REPTILES OF OLD.
OF Great Size, They Were Once More
Common Than Birds.

OF Great Size, They Were Once More
Common Than Birds.
We are apt to think of reptiles as
creeping and crawling things, forget
ting that there was a time when fly
ing reptiles were more common than
birds. These reptiles, the ~pterodac-
Ftyls, or flying dragons, not only flew,
but some OF them reached a size much
greater than that of any bird, for the
largest birds do not fly. The South
American condor sometimes measures
as much as ten and one-half feet from
tip to tip of outstretched wings, and
it is quite possible that the finest tx
ampIes of the albatross may measure
a little more. But the great ptero-
dactyls which few about the sea that
in the days of old reached from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Rock Noun
tains, measured as much as twenty
feet, the width of an average city lot,
across their wings.
Most of us have seen an eagle fly
ing, and we can appreciate the size
Of this ancient dragon. by remember
ing that it was nearly thrae tines the
size of an eagle. II was not, however,

MONEY.

Years ago few women were permit
ted any money of their own, II d
certain sum, very often out OF their
W good settlement, was doled out
to them by their lords IL masters.
But we have changed all this, and, as
a rule, wives have the spending OF
their own money, whether inherited CT
earned. Few are put in the embar-
| RAISING position of having to ask hum
bly, for enough pocket money to dress
and appear like their fellows. An inter
nuptial arrangement as to what the
spending should be is apt to more sat
| isfactory to the woman than an$ plan
made .afterward, and certainly the
happiegt people are those who kno"
exactly what their point income IS
and are prepared to spend it to the
! best advantage.
Of late this question has cropped
up, and has been answered by men
in various positions. A lawyer con
! siders that no one should marry until
they have an assured income, and a
man yves it to the girl he marrles to
do all in his power to free her from
financial worries. A newly married
man was of opinion that how a hus-
band can make an allowance for his
wife depends upon his income, and II
cd with the spending of money, II lett
widowed, are apt to suffer from thelr
ignorance in the most trivial Dusl-
ness matters.
A woman's testimony to the ques-
ton is that a certain allowance should
be given to her to spend exactly as
she likes, without question, for many
a proud woman knows how CALLING 1t
is to ask for her own private eXpen-
ses. A business Woman's view is
worth considering. An allowance, she
considers, spurs on a woman to live
within her means and to know the
value of money. A man should not
give his wife unlimited credit at
shops, and then be indignant at her
spending. Girls should have an al
lowance early before they marry to
teach them how to spend when they
in their turn become mistresses of
households.-From the Queen.

The tendency Of the times seems to
be towards simplifying in many mat

WOMAN IN SPORT

Only a few years ago we used to
hear vague whispers from the seats of
learning of the gentler sex about secret
athletics and wonderful feats slyly
performed. Today common sense
rules, and our young ladies have their
regular athletic meetings and play
their interscho1astic matches at suit
able games. very much in the fashion
of their brothers: Now, what viii be
the result of these sweeping changes?
Speaking as ar e%x-athletic who has
enjoyed ample facilities for observing
the effects of judicious exercise upon
school fellws, I unhesitatingly say that
the exercises and games now so eager
~ followed by women cannot fail to
be productive of great and lasting
good. The benefits Of scientific train
ing of the muscles are Wellnigat in
valuable, the possible evils so few as
to be unimportant. In these days the
Importance OF a sound mind ar, a
