PECULIARITIES OF DAVIS.
Likes a Horse Trade. and Always
Gets the Best Of It-Abhors In
surance of All Kinds.

Among the lads OF Henry G. Davis,
democratic vicc-prcsidentia nominee.
none is 50 marked as his love Of
horse. He always keeps a siablc:,,l OF
1horoughbreds. but rarely rids any.
He never uses a horse block when
mounting. and refuses any assistance
OF any kind. but. placing one loot
in the stirrup. vaults into the saddle
like a youth OF 20 and goes on his
morning ride.
He has no use for insurance OF any
kind, and while he was president Of
the West Virginia Central railroad
the shops OF that road were without
fire insurance Of any description. He
carries no insurance on his magnif-
cent home. and abhors life insurance
and doctors.
He has peculiar MOTORS Of the way
a person should reply to telephone
call. "You should never say Hello :"
he says, for that only makes the
man at the other end of the wire ask
who you are. It is just as easy to
say Senator Davis or John Smith,
as the case may be. as to say hello,"
he argues. Should any one in his
employ be so indiscreet as to say
"hello" when answering a telephone
call, and the senator was the man
calling, his soft, cooling voice would
come back over the wire: isn't it
just as easy to say treasurer's Office
as it is 10 say hello:'
1t so happened one day that a new
clerk had been employed 1t the au-
ditor's office, and. not knowing the
ways OF the venerable senator, when
he answered the telephone call he
loudly shouted. 'hello" into the trans
m!tter. The senator. thinking he
need a little discipline. said: Young
man, isn't it just as easy TO say audi
tors office as to shout hclO: The
clerk, thinking it was some one was
Erying him. replied: law, go to h.
and hung Up The receiver.
1he clerk was reprinandcd for the
manner in which he had spoken to
Senator Davis. but ai,cr his e:ola::a-
zion ard apologies were given no one
enjoyed the joke more tlla.: The sena-
tor.
He enjoys nothing so much as good
horse trade. In fact he will swap
anything SO long as he makes a good
bargain. \ gentleman not long since
! remarked to R. S. Kerens, the ST.
Louis millionaire, who is also a
neighbor of Senator Davis, that he
thought Mr.. Davis was getting a lit
tie too old to transact business
Think so::" replied Mr.. Kerens, with
sad look in his eyes. Il guess you
haven't swapped horses with him
lately. have you?''

4 II George G. Brownell. Of clackmn'

ambitious he could create all kinds OF
havoc In the state Of Oregon Just now
He could pardon every convict
discharge every officer OF the gov
ernor's staff. appoint others In
their places order an extra session Of
the Legislature and do many other
things that the ordinary citizen can
not do
His power to do these things began
nt 1890 o'clock Monday morning.
when Governor Chamberlain crossed
the state line into California. The
Clacknmas county citizen Is now act
ing governor Of the great common
wealth OF Oregon and Is possessed OF
all the powers that accompany the
office.
The constitution provides that the
secretary OF state shall perform the
duties Of governor when the real gov
ernor IN unable TO perform them and
In the absence OF the secretary OF
state then the president OF the senate
shall Ill the highest Office. Secretary
Of State Dunbar is also out OF the
state. so Mr.. Brownell Is temporary
governor.
A similar condition occurred In the
state OF Utah when both the governor
and secretary OF state were outside
the limits OF Utah. Both officials
were republicans and had gone into
Idaho TO meet Roosevelt. There ex-.
listed a vacancy In the United States
senate. Aquilla Nebaker, as president
OF the senate, at once realized his
power. He Immediately appointed

partisans In their places and caused
untold amazement among the Nor
mons.
When Governor Chamberlain was in
Mississippi a year ago the question Of
who was governor in his absence arose
in connection with the issuance OF ex-
extradItion papers by w. N. Gatens,
private secretary to the governor.
Circuit Judge Sears Of Multnomah
county decided that the absence from
the state constitutes a disability, and
that the secretary of state should act
as governor during that officials alb

YANKEE IDEAS IN THE EAST.
American Agricultural Machinery

American agricultural machinery seems

dered from an Indiana firm a modern
steam thrashing machine, the second
of its kind ever seen in Judea. Consul
Rarndal, at BeyroOt, states that the
triumphal march of his machine through
Damascus was one of the most spectac-
ular events which has ever occurred in
the white city.

bridges, but it was pulled out OF the
creek beds and finally brought to its

through these fields with his Chaldean

About 40. ooo. GOO melons.

Some one who is fond Of statistics has
taken some trouble TO tell us few
facts about the watermelon crop in
Texas. Last year the melons were a
great success as to numbers. and on
this output the statistician has based
his calculations. If monument were
built OF the 40, 900. 900 melons raised there
last year, they would make a column
1928 feet high, 146 feet at the base. In
the bottom layer there would be "a 52s
melons, occupying 21,462 square fest.
This is averaging the size of the melon
at IA inches long and inches in di-
ameter These 100000 900 melons
would weigh in the aggregate the enor-
NOUS total of S00.000,000 pounds. 1t
would require 10000 cars and l 200 full
trains to transport them. The trains.
with not a foot of space between them,
would cover a distance OF ITO miles.

Scientists Engaged in International
Hunt for Pathways of
Earthquakes

For a dozen years to come men of
science propose to engage in a chase
after earthquakes wherever they may
manifest themselves throughout the
world. The object Is to learn some
thing about earthquakes that may lead
to q discovery Of their causes. The
hope Is that something may develop
which will enable scientists to warn
persons In threatened districts in time
SO that they may escape. tust as Is
done now in the case of storms
This international hunt for the earth
quake was organized In Strasburg.
Germany, during the last session of the
international Seismic congress All
the nations that joined in the work
then have agreed to use all available
government departments to gather sta
tistics about earthquakes and to for
ward them to the central bureau in
S,rasburg.
Rules and regulations have been laid
down for observation, and the members
know Just what facts should be gather
ed. Whatever money can be raised
will be used for the establishment OF
observatories and experiment stations
In lands that are sufferers from these
disturbances.
The reports which are sent In to tho
sentral station will be edited and pub
tished periodically
