When a Reindeer Is Angry.

We had travelled half the day without amy
serious mishap and were beginning 70 forget
our fears NJ arting out. when we sped mer-
rily down mountain side. sin ging and hal
loaing az the top of orr voices. and ran int o
a guch and stuck there. The songs stopped
In our Threats, and We sprang to our feet to
sink waist deep in the drifts that had en-
trapped us.
Every movement OF our bodies sank us
deeper in the snowdrfts. and the infuTilted
reindeer. finding themselves caught in the
banked up snow. almost to their launches.
turned upon lis and would have paved US to
death but for the forcthought of Oosilik. who.
seeing our danger. sprang forward and
hosting the overturned pulks in his strong
arms. brought them down over our heads
and shoulders and pinned us out Of sight in
the snow.
We heard the hoofs Of Uncle Ben beating
on tho pulk's side as he paved M the snow
In his efforts TO get at us. and IL we had not
held to the straps and had not kept the pulk
over Va he would have tossed it into the air
with one sweep OF his horns and would still
have had his bout with MS. in which case we
should have been helpless and completely
at his mercy.
For the first time We had occasion to see
how fierce an angry reindeer can be.
We spent an exciting half hour under the
pulks with the hoofs OF the deer rafting like
hail on the frozen boards, and then the unusual
commotion ceased all at once. for the rein
deer had found r lichen bed. In iTy they
were paving up the snow IN their hurry TO
get al the succulont moss and We were for
gotten. By The time the reindeer had eaten
themselves into n pnssable humor. Amalik
and Oosilk led them back 10 the pulks.

Peculiar Conduct of James wilson.

On Jan. II the Hon. WILLIAM MORRIS
STEWART Of Nevada, animated by holy
zeal for the protection of the insides of
his fellow citizens from injury by impure
foods and drinks, proposed in the Senate
an amendment to the House bill making
appropriations for the Department OF
Agriculture which II it were enacted
into law would make it the duty Of tho
Secretary of Agriculture ito analyze
foods and drinks transported into any
State or Territory" and publish the
results Of such analysis in three daily
newspapers Of general circulation" If
any person Refused TO allow the foods
and drinks in his possession to be ex-
amined the Secretary's duty would be
10 publish the refusal Mr. STEWART
recognized the magnitude of the task
he wished 10 put upon the shoulders of
the Secretary, and his amendment pro-
vided 100000 TO pay the expenses that
would be incurred in executing his pro-
posed law.
The Stewart amendment was referred
by the Senate TO the Committee on Manu-
features. of which the Hon. WELDON
BRINToN HEPBURN Of Idaho, a famous
crusader for Federal inspection of the
nations eatabes and drinkables, is the
chairman. BY this committee it was sent
10 the Hon. JAMES WILSON the man who
makes the crops grow. for Investigation
and report. Mr.. WILSON investigated and
reported, and the nature Of his report is
such as to cause establishment among
all who are familiar with the manner in
which Department heads usually act
when it is proposed 10 increase their
powers and allow them fat appropria-
tions Mr. WILSON wrote under date of
Jan. 2s TO Mr.. HEYBURN lie said he

STEWART wishes to give in the work of

The management vi the docilc majority
in the American House OF Representa-
tivcs decreed Yesterday that the Town
send rate regulation bill measure OF
portcntous Importance and incalculable
consequences, if enacted should remain
before the House for debate for perhaps
twenty hours. including the time required
tomorrow 10 count the Electoral vote,
and that at precisely o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon the portculis should fall.
The Townsend bill will be- passed by
the House on Thursday afternoon and
members who cannot obtain the floor in
the few hours allotted TO nominal consid-
Grafton of it's merits will have the sweet
privilege of recording their arguments
for or against it in future editions of the
Congressional Rccod
This jamming- through proceeding. Of
course, indicates no more than VII
lingness on the part of the Republican
majority of the House to surrender the
deliberative functions OF that body and
TO transfer he responsibility of real con-
sderaton and intelligent decision TO the
Senate.
Once before, and on an equally impress
sive occasion, there was similar self
abnogation on the part of the House.
On May 81, 1900 the Republican major
ity forced through rule calling up for
consideration certain joint resolution
Of transcendently momentous character,
and fixing the time for the vote on the
same at clock on the afternoon of the
very next day, June /. The Joint resolu-
ton thus jammed through proposed an
amendment to the Constitution The
essential part of the amendment was as
follows:
Congress shall have power to define. regulate
control, prohibit or Dissolve trusts. monopoles
or Combinations, whether existing IN tho form OF
. corporation or otherwise.
The several states nay continue TO exercise
such power In any manner not in conflict with the
Laws OF the nlted STAIRS
Congress shall have power to enforce the pro-
visions Of ,hs article by appropriate legislation
The programme was carried ont 10
the letter and to the minute. At the
stroke of O'Clock the next day 154 Re-
publicans, including the Speaker and
embracing every member of the ma
jority who voted on the question, save
two, blithely put themselves on record
for the foregoing proposition, knowing
that it could not pass the Senate. And
the only reason why the responsibility
for thought and action thus lightly
shifted to the other end Of the Capitol
did not in fact fall upon the Senate was
the circumstance that for supposed po-
litical advantage in Presidential cam
paign the sympathizinG Democrats with
held the votes they might gladly have
contributed ut another time.
Such spectacles as that and this
serve to weaken public faith in the vir-
tue of the dual organization of the legis-
lative department of the United States
Government.

Col Bell demurred. He said that Mr.

represent, ought to be willing to give I'd
some of their rights for the general good
of the many. Lawyer Sanders Shanks.
counsel for Peace, called the attention ~
the court to the many persons arrested
and dragged to the police courts because
they insisted that the streets are public
highways and that they had the right 10
use them.
He said the Police Commissioner based
his right TO issue and maintain the traffic
rules on Section 81 of the Charter. which
gives the police the right 10 regulate the
movement of teams in the streets He
commended that the words regulate and
movement" did not necessarily mean that
the police had the right TO order the teams
to keep of the streets entirely

was for the public good and that the traffic
regulations had shown themselves to be
such.
