Thus politely adjured, Leigh led the

hands.
"Why in thunder didn't you answer

more than you deserved,
Miss Holt?"
YES, of course, Miss Holt. But come
along-you can ride behind me on my
horse-and tell me about things on the
way. AS for you my friend to Leigh,

hold of you whenever you are wanted. "
II give up, sir, said Leigh calmly. a.
saw Mr. Warren knock the old gent on
the head, and he's been bribing me ever
since to keep quiet. But I've got the
books he did it for, and I'm ready
to hand them over whenever they're

however, they fell in with farmer driving

Bradshaw was naturally eager for
details of the kidnapping of Lester; but
strangely enough the subject seemed
utterly uninteresting to the young doctor,

THE REAL LUNATIC

A MONG the various institutions for the
care of the insane in the Dominion of
Canada there is one whose superintendent has
great faith in the remedial value of outdoor
recreation for his patients. He accordingly is
indefatigable in the promotion of wholesome
sport, and the games follow the round of the
seasons: cricket and lacrosse in summer, foot
ball in spring and autumn, skating and curl
ing in winter. By virtue of this policy a num-
Der of expert players have been developed,
and the cricket club in connection with the
asylum is particularly renowned.
One winter the curling was especially good
and three of the patients, whose mental
troubles were of a harmless type, acquired
such skill that the superintendent was tempted
to take them off with him to play match in
a neighboring city. To his keen chagrin,
however, they were seized with stage-fright at
the rink and curled so badly as to be igno-
miniously defeated.
On the conclusion of the match one of those
laundering creatures whose curiosity makes
them blind to considerations of courtesy went
up to the superintendent and asked him if it
was true that all the members of the team were
lunatics.
No" responded the superintendent grimly,
as the iron of defeat was thus driven in deeper
by this clumsy hand a. am the only lunatic."

DISADVANTAGES OF PoLYeAMY.

The disadvantages of polygamy from
 a racial point of view are briefly these: First and most important it almost en-
 tirely destroys the possibility of any
 paternal training of the young. Home
 life in the polygamous group is almost impossible. the father of a polygamoust household being obliged either to live practically alone or for brief periods at the homes or apartments of hls var ious wives. Children of polygamous marriages are usually trained chiefly by ignorant mothers or by slaves. Secondly. the successful male, not be- ing limited to one choice for life, is almo-- certain to be influenced more largely either by family ties or per sOnal fancy. or by motives of finance and policy in the selection of his wives than is the monogomist. So that while the numerical influence of the successful male upon the race in creases the quality deteriorates. and to a large extent deteriorates Third ly, the responsibility in the pOlyga- nous household or management, duty and control being divided between a number of persons. any of whom will resent the assumption of any manage ment of affairs on the part of another the real mana cement of the household ultimately deVOlves upon servants or slaves. The polygamous wife comes to be selected more and more certain ly and solely for her looks, and less for her moral and mental development. A man has a dozen other wives to turn to the moment that one of them ceaaes to amuse him. What is the use of requiring that any of them be trained or educated in anything except the art of Joking pretty2 Polygamy is almOs- F.T- ard of feminine intellect and morals. and permits of no improvement. Fourthly. the condition Of the pOlyga- nous household upon the death of it's head is apt to be one of almost com plete disruption. The chance of one worthy successor out of the thirty, for ty or fifty children who will possess any of the ability or vigOr of his father is not more than half as great as it would |.

defray the expenses of a national con- ference consisting of three men from each state who are to draft a uniform divorce law. These delegates are to be appointed by the governors of the various states. and it is hoped that they will be men of ability and high standing, capable of handling this diff ficuIt problem in it's varied aspects. Governor Pennypacker has already received expressions of hearty ap- proval from nearly all of the other governors and he has appointed as the Pennsylvania delegates three prominent lawyers. one of whom is president of the State Bar association, while another is a trustee of the Uni versfty of Pennsylvania.
 The measure to be drafted by this conference will be submitted to the legislatures of the various state, and it is to be expected that when once the movement has advanced this far, there will be little difficulty in securing the general passage of the law. This done. the greatest obstacle to divorce reform will be removed. It will no longer be possible for people who have become dissatisfied with their marital relations to go to another state where the divorce laws are lax. and after establishing a residence" of six months, obtain an easy separation. Neither will it be possible for wives to secure dlvorces from their husbands for extreme and repeated acts of cruelty which consist principally of trivialities. or for husbands to secure decr5es for equally silly reasons.
 Governor Pennypacker says that the publicj.y given to "decency-defying divorce of che rich" has had bad ef- feet on the public. and that others have felt if the rich dare quickly and openly to cast off ties that begin to bore. they could do likewise" This is doubtless true, and it is certain that the rapid increase of divorce is doing more than all other forces combined to undermine the stability of the home and destroy the sanctity of the mar riage relation.
 President Roosevelt recommended to congress last winter that accurate statistics be gathered on this subject. and th.s is now being done by the cen sus bureau. Whether relief comes in the form of a federal divorce law ap- plicabIe 70 all states and transferring divorce cases to the federal courts, or in a uniform state law as above de- scribed makes little difference. The of legislation which will finally and ef- fectually cure. the evil.

guar inexpressiveness of the Japanese language, which has no cuss words, the excited people had no verbal method of relieving their feelings. A burst of profanity would have tided over the situation and established tranquility But. not knowing how to swear, the Japs resorted to rioting as a safety valve for their pent-up wrath. Then they felt better and became quiet. While 1t is nOt commendable. on general principles, to rip out string of oaths, it is suggested that the Japanese might peter do that than throw stones and burn buildings. Wherefore they are advised to accu- mulate a vocabulary for such emer- gencies in order to save themselves from something worse. Perhaps a better way would be to hire Admiral Bob Evans to say things for them. even as the virtuOus Quaker who lost his hat in a gale paid a street boy for swearing at the flying headpiece. The Japs might with advantage take these hints into consideration as a part of their course in advanced civilization.

For a Uniform Divorce Law.

Necessity of some stringent remedy. probably legislative, to cure the grow ing evil of divorce is constantly be- coming more apparent More divorces are granted per 1000 of the popula- tion in this country than in any other land in the world. But insignificant as the evil is in Canada, the authorities of the Episcopal church there have deemed it sufficiently serious to jus tify a rule positively forbidding its clergy to remarry any divorced person while the former husband or wife is living. The total number of divorces granted in Canada. last year was nine teen, and in thirty-seven years 1868 to 1904, inclusive. the totaI number was only 356. The number of divorced men and women living in Canada in 1901 was 661. or 12.S in every 100000 of the population.
 It is true that the United States has more than twenty times the pOpula- tion of Canada, but le. us see how these figures compare with our own. There are no reliable statistics of the number of divorce5 granted in this country, but he last census accounted for 199, ,8G8 divorced persons then liv- ing. and this figure does no. include the divorced persons who had remar- Fied. This is in the ratio of 260 to every 100000 population. If the Epis- copal church of Canada thinks the di- vorce situation in its country is bad. what does it think of the problem in ehe United States?
 In his divorce conference, Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylvania has started 8. movement which gives prom ise of excellent results. The last ses- sion of the Pennsylvania legislature made an appropriation of s1O,OOO to

be out of the three to six descendants of a homogeneous marriage. If such an individual happens to exist and is of the age and has the backing and opportunity necessary to seize the reins of power and take control of -he es- tablishment all is well. But if, as much more frequently happens, he is entirely lacking in those quaIities, or his mother has not the backing which is necessary to support his claim, he is usually displaced or killed outright and the worthless child of one of the most ignorant mothers of the group succeeds to the family right. Or the whole brood of degenerates may sim ply scatter in all directions, each talk ing his insignificant share of the pat rimony with him.
 In short, polygamy, while it tempor- arily increases the racial influence of the progressing and successful male, really dimin.shes and dissipates it. Woods Hutchinson, in the ContempOr- ary Review.

Applying a New Zealand Idea to ArIz-
Ona

To the papers of COchise county that have been instructed by certain interests to manifest intense and rabid dissatisfaction with the terri torial assessment placed on the mines We commend New Zealand's system of taxation as a subject worthy of ed- ftorial consideration. In New Zealand each property owner fixes the assessed valuation of his property, and no pow CT or authority can change the figure. This arrangement is said to work very satisfactorily. Perhaps it would work equally we'll in the mining counties of Arizona If given full and unrestrict- ed power to value their own property for purposes of taxation. the owners of the great bonanza mines would cer- tainIy have less cause to graeve- through the newspapers-over the hardships imposed upon the poor prospactor." In the interest of peace and harmony we lay this suggestion before the brethren of the fretful press in Cochise county. Every man and corporation his own assessor! What an altruistic device!
 We have omitted, however, to men tion one little detail of the New Zea- land law. While each piece of prop erty is assessed by it's owner, and the tax is irrevocabIy fixed on the valua- tion returned by him, the law pro vfdes that the state shall have the power to buy the property, or furnish q buyer for the same, at figure ten per. cent above the valuation fixed by the owner
 Under this scheme, a great copper mine valued by it's owners for taxation at S4O,OOO. say. would be on the mar ket under the law for $44,O00. Oppor- tunities would be thereby afforded for the purchase of properties at most at tractive figures; who would not rustic around and raise s44,OOO to pay for a mine that annually yields several mill ions in profits?
 It might be argued that under Che New Zealand system the mines would be valued by their owners at several thousand fold above the present as sessed valuation, but We are compelled to dismiss that supposltion as un-en- able. We have the assurance of the Cochise county paperss-and the assur- anoe of certain learned and disinter- ested journalists and attorneys ln oth- CT parts of the territory as well-that the assessments returned by the mine owners were at a fair valuation, and that an outrageous wrong was per petrated by the territorial board Of equalization in raising the assessment. It follows, therefore, that an assess ment which was fair last spring would be at the same figure, and just as fair, under the New Zealand sys- tenn.
 But the adoption of this idea from the antipOdes would certainly lead to an activity in mining sales in Arizona.
