To The Public.

The Wyoming Commission of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition has
undertaken the task of seeing that this
state is properly and creditably repre-
sentcd at the Worlds Fair to be held
in ST. Louis in 1904.
While a great deal of work has beer
done and arrangements have been
made with most of the leading mines
its agriculturists Inc others, for eX'
hibits along their several lines, yet IL
is more than probable that there are
numerous interesting relics, minera
and agricultural products. which will
be overlooked unless those possessing
or having knowledge Of the same, vol
UNFAIRLY communicate with this com
mission.
Therefore. we invite anyone who
thinks he has anything worthy OF ex'
hibition at St. Louis to communicate
at an early date with Commissioner
in-Chief C. B. Richardson. Cheyenne,
Wyo.. explaining clearly what the ar
ticle is and the conditions under which
it may be secured by this commission
We trust that every citizen OF Wyo
ming will feel that 1t is his duty to co
operate with the Wyoming commission
in seeing that this state is well repre-
scented at St. Louis.

street Arabs who Rise.

Newsboys and street arabs often
make admirable clerks. The way they
work into commercial houses is aston
ishing. A large percentage of public
and prosperous business men of Amer.
lea began as newsboys. but probably
no one realizes how many work their
way up from the gutter to wealth and
influence. They begin as hangers on
and are recruited from the ranks of
every class OF street gamin. Their wits
have been sharpened by contact with
the sordid side of life and by observa-
ton in the school of the street. They
know the value of friends. So they are
to be found at the door of every big
house. ready at any time to run an err
rand, always at hand to pick up an
umbrella or open a door. And before
the people who regularly pass In and
out of the doors of the place realize 1t

The sarncen. and the Moon.

The Saracens called the moon Ca
bar the Great, and the crescent still
surmounts the Turkish mosques and is
emblazoned on the green standard of
the prophet. Schlegal mentions story
that Mohammed wished to pass with
his disciples as person TRANSPORTED
in a supernatural light and that the
credulity OF his followers saw the
moon, or the moons light, descend up
on him, pierce his garments and re-
plenish him.
THAT veneration for the moon which
still forms a national, or, rather, reli-
gious, characteristic of the Mohammed-
ans may perhaps have its foundation
in the elder superstition or pagan idola.

The japanese understood electricity
as an attractive force, of which they
were very secret. The Greeks and Ro-

ignorant of its popularity, though in

GROW TIRED OF WIVES.
Increase Of 25 Per Cent. in Divorced
Men Shown by Recent Cen
sus Figures.

The divorce figures of the census bu-
reau recently published show that di.
vCrces are increasing in the country,
and present some interesting features,
notably the fact that early marriages
appear to be the least imprudent.
IN 1900 five out of every 1000 men.
gainfully employed, who had been
married, were living in state Of di-
vorce on census day, compared with
four out of every 1000 in 1890. This
ratio of increase held good in nearly
every occupation. except that there was
no greater tendency to divorce is
shown in the case Of clergymen, teach
ers, professors in colleges. manufac-
turers, public officials Or textile min
operatives.
Considering the occupations of males
in five great classes it was found the
highest percentage of divorce was in
the class devoted TO domestic and per-
sonal service. In this class eight cut of
every 1000 who had been married were
divorced, being GO per cent. more than
in 1890. The lowest percentage was
found among men engaged in aSricul-
tural pursuits The number of divorced
men here was four to every 900 who
had been married, but this was consid-
erahly higher than the percentage in
1890.
Fickle above all men in their mar
riage relations are soldiers, sailors and
marines.

STAMPS NOT LEGAL TENDER
Intending Purchasers of Government
Literature Persist in Think
ing They Are.

Those government bureaus that are
authorized by law to sell certain of their
publications frequently have trouble in
regard TO the form in which remit
tances are made to pay for books,
pamphlets Or maps. Among those bu-
reaus is the United States geological
survey, whose reports and maps have
a wide circulation. The survey has per-
sistently endeayored 10 make generally
known the fact that checks, foreign
coin Gncluding Candian coin), and post
age stamps cannot under the law be
received in exchange for it's publica-
tiOns, yet almost every mail brings re-
mittances OF postage stamps. In some
instances the clerks who are required
to send out the books and maps have
simply bought the stamps and them
selves turned the cash into the official
Golfers, so that the offending purchasers
have received without Getriment the
publications ordered But these clerks
have naturally become averse to in
vesting the entire amount of their SAL
aries in postage stamps which they can
not use and for which they must there
fore find buyers. and this practice will
now be discontinued. The offense Of
sending stamps has been in many cases
aggravated by the remittance OF
amounts in excess Of the price of the
book or map. It has often happened
that six cents i'll stamps has been offered
in payment for five-cent map In these
cases it has been necessary to return
one cent to the purchaser at cost
greater than its value In most in
stances, perhaps, no change has been ex-
pected, but the rules OF government
bookkeeping have made it necessary to
return the surplus amount.
Only postal money orders or cash can
he received fer these publications.
The maps Of the survey have now
wide sale, and the failure on the part Of
intending purchasers to observe the
requirements Of law has become a
source of so great inconvenience that
rigid conformity 10 these requirements

Perilous Trip of European Aeronauts

the impression was as we sailed along

passage, unless some cloud, not yet ap-

at higher level, where wind velocity is
generally greater. Perhaps. therefore
we paid insufficient heed to a murky
veil ahead of us. which began gathering
and deepening and blotted out the view.
