the honor if his friends nominate and
later elect him. Mr.. Grimm is thor

INSECT USED HER BRAINS.
Wasp Made Receptacle for Egg and
Provided Provisions.

Wasp Made Receptacle for Egg and
Provided Provisions.
The deliberate use of a tool by a
little sand wasp might we'll be sup
posed to indicate reasoning power. A
well-known naturalist, DR.. Peckham,
watched a wasp dig a hole in the
earth and deposit therein an egg, to
gether with a spider, which she had
stung into paralysis, to feed the grub
which should be Matched in due course
Then she filled up the hole with sand
or earth, and damned it down with
her head.
when at last the filling was level
with the ground, she brought guam
tity of fine grains of dirt to the spot,
picked up a small pebble in her man
dibles, and used it as a hammer in
strokes, thus making this spot as hard
ana firm as the surrounding surface
Before we could recover from our as
constituent at this performance, she
had dropped her stone and was
bringing more earth. In a moment
we saw her pick up the pebble, and
again pound the earth into place with
it. Once more the whole process was
repeated, and then the little creature
flew away"
"The whole of this performance"
writes Sir Herbert Maxwell in Memo
ries Of the Months, 'is SO unexpected
that even Dr. Peckham's high repu-
tation as a scrupulous observer might
fail to convince skeptics that he had
not been deceived; but similar be-
havior on the part of a wasp of the
same species has been recorded indie
pendently by DR.. Williston Of Kansas
university -Youth's Companion.

SELECTION a WISE ONE.
Scottish Lady Was Guided Alright in
Her Choice of Husband.


Many a marriage suggests 70 an ir-
reverent curiosity the question, Did
the woman propose it?" But one sell
dom finds actual historic proof that
she did. A recent delightful book on
Scotland has an interesting and ap-
parently authentic story of a case
where the woman not only took the
initiative, but took it in high-handed
fashion.
The young countess of Carrick was
left a widow by the death of her hus-
band while on one of the crusades.
The king became her guardian, and
she had good reason to fear that he
would force upon her a marriage Of
policy. She was a famous horsewom-
an, and often rode for a day through
her own forest, attended only by a
small mounted guard. One day she
encountered a young man to whom
she was at once attracted She asked
but he had some gallant adventure al
ready in hand, and ungraciously de-
clined the invitation
At word from her, her men-at-
arms made him prisoner, and bore
him off to Turnberry castle.
Two weeks Imprisonment brought
him to proper sense of the charms
OF his fair hostess, and knight and
lady were welded, with the reluctant
consent of the king
The son of this romantic marriage
was Robert Bruce, whose splendid pa
triotism and brave deeds are we'll fit
ted to Justify his mothers courageous
audacity.-Youth's Companion.

1t is significant, says the Juneau
Independent, that Mr.. Thomas
Kearney Of Racine, the leading spirit
in formulating the democratic plat
form at Oshkosh last August, is prin-
cipal railway lobbyist at Madison
this winter. 1t is a fact we are al
most ashamed to publish, that most
of those who controlled the action
of that convention are around Mad
ison trying to prevent honest legis-
lation.

as much, and the rulers of European
countries have from 5 to 20 times
that amount. President Grant, at the
expiration of his second term, had his
salary doubled by congress, and the
time is ripe now for a similar increase
for President Roosevelt. Congress has
had in mind for number of years the
increase of the Presidents salary, but
congress is a ponderous body that
moves slowly, but when started goes
with force in direct ratio to it's
weight. 1t has given enough time to
thought about bestowing a larger sal
airy on the President; now let it act,
the country Is with it.
The constitution prohibits any in
crease of the Presidents salary during
the period for which he shall have
been elected, so that unless congress
should in the next nine days pass
either the Stewart or Maynard bills,
both looking toward that object, the
benefit of an increase would not fall
to President Roose welt. Therefore
prompt action is required if the fifty
eighth congress would have the credit
Of this act of justice to the man who
was overwhelmingly the choice of the
people who will pay the salary.
Representative Campbell received
from the President this week a volun-
tary promise that the Standard Oil
trust will be investigated relentlessly
Corporation and the Department of
Justice will Cooperate. If the con-
ditions reported ia Kansas are found
to be general, action as drastic as pos
sible under the laws of the country
will be taken against the combination.
Representative Campbell is authority
for the determination of the presid ent
to see that the administration will insist
that every little competitor of tt e
Standard Oil Company all have fair
deal. Railroad companies that have
Disseminated against oil companies in
favor Of the Standard Oil Company will
be brought before the Interstate Con-
merce Committee.
The president will express himself
pretty freely on the subject of the
great trusts and the railroad rates on
his Southern trip this spring.

Here are few facts worthy of care
full consideration by those who think
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway company is not doing it's part
in the industrial development of the
state. During tie past year the com
pany spent nearly 81 900 900 in enlarg-
ing their shops and increasing their
capacity generally for doing the con
structive aud repair work for the roll
ing stock of it's entire great system Of
railroad. While the work of the last
year shows conspicuousy as an indus
trial feature for consideration. These
engagements to the capacity of the
shops will make possible a large IN
crease in the number CT persons en-
ployed, the money paid in wages. and
the work done the coming year and in
years to follow. During 1904 the aver
age number of men employed ia these
shops for the entire year was 3 2S9 and
the money paid for their services rend-
cred amounted to the sum of 81, ga, =
