UNCLE MINGO ON
MARRYING OFF THE GIRLS.
BY w. T. WILLIAMS.

Il understan'," said Uncle Mingo,
dat 1t 'lude to matrimony as a pinch,

ship acquaintance, witch is 'bige to be
VERY short, it mean dat de young

much bout one-anudder. :"
Very good said the Colonel, Il
knew very we'll that you understood.
However, from all l have been able
to learn, this young man who is go
ing to take my little girl from me,
is very decent sort of fellow; he
comes from good stock. and really
seems to be all / could ask"
Il tink he is, Kunnel," said Uncle
Mingo in tone of conviction. wen
1 was cen town, I feel so much in

Mingo. AN as for Chloe, wot raise

young man, Look here she say, If

Dey tell me- Kunnel deres goin' to
be big doin's at de weddin'."
Yes" said the Colonel, II believe
they have arranged to have quite a
blow out on the occasion. And, by the
way, we will need little extra help on
that occasion, so / want to ask you to
bring that friend of yours, the waiter,
to help serve the company"
"All right Kunnel" said Uncle Min
go, well be on ham all two o. we"
Very well, then, I'll count on you,'
said the Colonel. ITS strange thing,
though, Mingo. how, in this important
business of marrying our daughters,
we have to take so much on trust. If
we want to hire a servant or a clerk,
or buy piece of property, we are very
careful to examine the recommended
tions, and the credentials, and the
titles. But when it comes to disposing
of our children, for whom we would
gladly die, If need be- we are obliged
to take so much for granted
"Wel, Kunnel" said Uncle Mingo.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Testimony Of
Jared in the hearings before the Sen
ate Committee on Military Affairs
concerning the nomination of Brig.
Cen Leonard Wood to be major gen
oral has been furnished to all Of the
senators. The printed testimony shows
that Cen. James H. Wilson was
particularly severe in his criticism of
Cen. Wood, and while on the stand
also criticised President Mckinley for
making him brigadier general. The
criticism was brought out by the fol-
lowing question from Senator Fora
ker:
"You think that President Mckinley
made a mistake when he made Gen.
wood"
Answer: 81 think he made a deadly
mistake"
The Senator (continuing)-''when
he made Gen. Wood a brigadier gen.
eral?"
Answer when ne made that appoint
ment I think he gave the greatest
shock to the sense of discipline and
fairness of the American army that it
has aver recaivad
Gen. Wilson further stated that Gen.
Wood was not at the battle of San
Juan, and told the committee that he
had informed the President, then Gov
ernor Of New York.
This evidence was refuted by Secre-
tary Root when he went on the stand
few days later, who stated that Gen.
Wood not only was at the battle of
San Juan, but that his division COM
mander had reported him for conspic-
uous bravery and for handling his
troops so we'll that he desired to rec
ommend him for promotion.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Convinced of
the determination Of the United States
not to retrace a step on the isthmus
and of the consequent failure Of his
mission, Gen. Rafael Reyes, the Co
lombian special envoy, is ready to leave
Washington.
In a long cablegram, which Gen.
Reyes has dispatched to Gen. Mario
quin, he has reviewed the negotiations
at Washington and informed the Bogota
government that after doing every
thing in his power to save something
from the wreck, he has failed. Gen.
Reyes has not supplemented this an
nouncement with a word as to the
course his government shall pursue
Naturally he expects, In view of the
high feeling prevailing in Colombia

Is Il Vote Catching Scheme ?

We understand that Governor Car.
ter is trying very hard to save the mil
itary appropriation in the new finan-
cial scheme. There can be but one
reason for saving 1t, and that reason
is so Shiny that we can hardly credit
Mr.. Carter with originating or fully
endorsing the idea. The military rep.
resents large number of votes, and
as the members OF the army are
banded together in way making
them easily handled, the natural pre-
sumption Is that the reason for retain
ing the Guard is to conserve its votes
on the side of the administration. In
other words, the people are asked to
spend large sum for an institution
that will be used to defeat the wishes
of the people at the polls How's that
anyhow?

It depends upon the Legislature
when Government employees will re-
ceive their salaries. AS soon as it is
decided that expenditures will come
reasonably within receipts, then the
banks will be ready enough to loan the
Government all the money it needs
and cash all the warrants that are out
standing. Employees should not be
too quick about discounting to the
money lenders.

As we ventured at the beginning of
the discussion regarding the County
Act, the possibility of Congress taking
any action at this session on the bill
is extremely remote. The law-making
body has its hands full of vastly i'm.
portant matters at home and has no
time to give to our purely local affairs.
If the matter is pressed at Washing
ton in systematic way there is a
bare possibility that 1t may be given
a chance near the end of the session
but otherwise the bill will remain in
the Congressional pigeon-hole.

Mr.. Knudsen is satisfied that Repre-,

Speaker in 1903 and is content to let

honor he would never get it. Mr.

With a certainty that many male

lose their positions as result OF the

well to insist that all positions here

the preference in every instance. 1t

it is significant fact that the new
