ANOTHER LTr1EE STIR.

Our good and lively little city has ,
lot Of curious little messes. One Of the
latest is the trolley traisefer mess. OF
course everybody who knows what is
going on knows that there has been
much tricky and even dishonest riding
on transfers, If there is any dishonesty
in cheating big corporation. Some
think, there isn't. The corporation here
concerned thinks there is, and it is go
ing to make an attempt to get the
money which it thinks belongs to it.
Immediately there is a disturbance. al
most as II the corporation were trying
to cheat the people instead of trying
to prevent itself being cheated. This is
perhaps not greatly to be wondered at
when the misuse Of transfers is consid-
cred. It has been so long and so prev
alent that some seem TO look upon it
almost as vested right. But it prob
ably isn't, and those who want to con-
tinue it would do well to hire a lawyer
and find out just what their rights are.
We do not think there is any law to
support some Of the things that have
been done with transfers here, and that
everybody who is acquainted knows
have been done. So it win probably be
better for all but those who are deter
mined to have what transfers they
want and use them as they want to
take what the company offers, which is
pretty generous on the whole.

that this may account for the Jap's

his domestic problems with wife as

A Tribune writer CHANGING to hear
this conversation determined to inves-
tigate the subject and discover, If pos
sible, the mysterious talisman which
enabled a Woodworking actress to pre-
serve her charms, while the domestic
woman, the happy wife and mother,
the woman of leisure and ample ac-
complishments, appears fully her age
or years older.

After hearing the subject thorough
ly canvassed the following inference
was deduced: That, apart from the
laws regulating the expression and nu-
triton of the face, the actress secret
consisted chiefly in the avoidance of
monotony and petty worries, those
arch enemies of feminine good looks
and good temper; the performance OF
her work with earnestness and light

where Professional Scorers and Re-

At the grounds where the profession.
al clubs play baseball you may have
noticed small boxlike structure
perched on the roof of the grand stand.
Its position directly back of the home
plate and on line with the pitcher
is the best possible for view of the
game, and If you are lucky enough to
be invited up by some of those who
have a right there, you will be sur.
prised to find how much better you
can watch what is going on than from
a seat nearer the ground.
This little house with the wire net
ting over the front to guard against
foul flies is called the press or scorers

have need of every facility for observ-
ing the game, because afterward they
must present an absolutely accurate

Elephant as q Nurse.

A woman in India tells this story of
an elephants skill as a nurse: Thou
art hungry, big mother" said Remmi,
emerging from the hut with the baby
in her arms. "Ishta, beautiful elephant
take care Of baby; l am going to see
to your dinner" She put the little
restless brown bundle down on the
ground between Ishta's two feet Then
she fetched the earthenware Jar of I'M
glazed red clay and filled 1t with live
charcoal, setting 1T down to get heated
through while she mixed -four and wa
ter into dough. With the skill of fire.
quent practice she spread the rough
mixture three or four inches thick all
over the inside of the jar. While the
dough was slowly baked by the heat
from the embers inside, Ishta, patient
and docile, as was her wont, cared for
baby, gently restraining the little tru-
ant who would have crawled away.
Now and again, when the baby limbs
moved quicker and achieved a few
PAGES of freedom, Ishta's trunk would
carefully wind around the little body
and lift 1t back to safety between the
huge barriers Of her feet, and the tip
would gently pet and fonde away

GOETHE AND PANAMA.
Poets Prophecy in 1927 About the
Great Canal.

Poets Prophecy in 1927 About the
Great Canal.
The Frankfurter Zeitung of Feb. 20,
1904, in an editorial states that the
Panama Canal treaty has been ratified
in Washington, and that thereby the
legal basis for the construction of the
canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific
work can be completed in a COMPARE
lively short time.
1t is perhaps pertinent the paper
adds, to recall what Goethe said con-
corning these matters During a con
versatiOn with Eckermann in 1897
with reference to Humboldt's travels,
he said:
This much is certain: If by
crosscut of this kind it could be accom-
plished that vessels with all sorts of
cargoes and of every size could go
through such canal from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, quite H.
calculable results would follow for the
entire civilized and unciyilized human
race.
Il, however, would be surprised If
the United States would miss the
chance to get such a work into her
hands. 1t is to be foreseen that this
young State, with its decided tendency
toward the West, will in thirty to
forty years have also taken possession
of. and will have populated, the large
areas of land on the other side of the
Rocky Mountains. 1t Is furthermore
to be foreseen that in this entire coast
of the Pacific Ocean, where nature has
already created the most roomy and
safest harbors, in course of time very
important commercial towns will carry
on a large traffic between China and
the East Indies with the United States
In such a case 1t would not only be
desirable, but almost necessary, that
merchant as well as war vessels
should be able to have quicker connec-
ton with the western and eastern
coasts of America. therefore repeat
that it Is entirely Indispensable for
the United States to make a passage
from the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean, and l am certain that she will
accomplish it."-Consular Report.

Behold the wooden Indian


A young japanese composltor en-
ployed on japanese paper In New
York was riding downtown In a City
Hall train the other morning. He was
engrossed In his morning paper, and
paid little attention to the other pas
sengers.
But fresh-looking young man who
sat next to him, and who had been
eylng him all along, suddenly asked:
what sort of 'nese' are you, any
way? A Chinese or JapaneseT
The little Jap was not caught nap
ping. Quick as a wink he replied:
What sort of key are you, any
way? A monkey, donkey, or Yam
keep
The fresh young man had no more
to say, and left the train quickly when
the City Hall station was reached.

No Lightning Rods for Them.

During a drouth in the government
of Perm, Russia, last summer, a church
official had a lightning rod put on his
house. The peasants were greatly in
terested in it, but when they learned
that it was used to divert the thunder
bolts they got greatly excited and con-
cluded that 1t had caused the drouth.
They promptly proceeded to demolish
It, and rain happening to come along
soon thereafter they were confirmed In
their belief.

bats. Ten years later he helped to
suppress the instruction. In the
China-Japanese war he commanded
the division which captured the dozens
of forts defending Wei-Hai-Wei. In
the Boxer war Of 1900 he commanded
part of the Japanese force that so
distinguished itself in the relief of the
legations at Pekin.

GREAT NAMES IN CONGRESS.
Men Whose Patronymics Mark Them
for Other Mems Notice.

We cannot depend on the House of
representatives of the United States
Congress for n great deal. but we can
always trust 1t to supply roll call
that is interesting and diverting read.
ing-until ii becomes an old story, says
the New York Mail and Express. Why
is it that men of picturesque and even
remarkable cognomens tend to drift
into Congress, especially In the South
and West? Is 1t that the very nature
of their names seems to devolve upon
them the duty to render these names
illustrious2 Perhaps 1t is.
The Fifty eighth Congress is no ex.
ceptlon to the rule. There are men
here whose names ought to have made
them famous even If they had never
gone to Congress or done anything else.
Not to speak of Prince Cupid Kalania-
naolc of Honolulu whose name may be
the Hawaiian Smith for all we know,
we have on this new roll of our coun-
try's fame the priceless name of the
Hon. Swanger Sherley OF Kentucky.
that of Hon. Phanor Brazeale of Louis
lana and that of Hon. Justin u. Bow
ersock of Kansas. The Hon. jefferson
Brick is now absent from the councils
of the nation, but the family is ably
represented by the Hon. Abraham
Brick OF Indiana.
There are others. Let us pick out a
few patronymic gems at random:
Thetus w. Sims, Tennessee.
Parish Carter Tate Georgia.
Ollie James, Kentucky.
Halvor Stevenson, Minnesota.
Champ Clark, Missouri.
Jack Beall, Texas,
Carter Glass Virginia.
Arsene Z. Pujo, louisiana
The names of pou, Shook, Moon,
Dick, Crumpacker, Mudd, Skiles. Shull,
Snapp, Gooch, Llcernash, Kluttz, Sho-
Der and Spight continue to decorate
the roll. They .ly were not born to
die. But why, .aay we ask, Is the
name of Bird" so popular among poll
ticians? The present House has on its
list Adam Byrd of Mississippi and II.
Burd Cassell of Pennsylvania, and
have we not our own Bird s. Coler
md Asa Bird Gardiner always with
us?
Many a congressional surname of de-
cided commonplaceness is relieved
from that fate by the given name.
That of the Hon. Choice b. Randell OF
Texas is an instance, the Hon. Vespa-
sian Warner another and the Hon.
Ariosto Wiley another. But for the
most part the Congressman were con-
demned by their parents to bear the
plain names of John, James, William,
Joseph and so on. These parents fail
ed to realize that If a man couldn't
get his name into the megaphone of
fame in any other way it might be
done for him with a quaint curious
and mouth filling baptismal designa-
| ton.

Behold the wooden Indian,
Who stands outside the door,
And guards, with frown and Ratchet
The old tobacco store.
He never beat a grocery bill,
He never told n lie,
He never took a longing look
At bourbon, fizz, or rye.
Behold the wooden Indian
A mass OF oak and paint;
He never made crooked move,
In faith, he is a saint.
He never bought a stack Of chips
And sat into a game;
He never rushed a chorus girl,
Or hirted with dame.
Behold the wooden Indian,
Who on the other hand.
Was never known to help the poor
That fill our glorious land;
Who never heard the piteous cry
or him who starved alone
Who never gave a hungry dog
SO much as one small bone.
Behold the wooden Indian

Who never did bit of harm,
Nor yet a bit of good.
