SOME FREAK CHARITIES.

Mrs. Alm,ra Kramer of Kalamazoo, in her will, gives
$4,000 to her home city for the purpose of providing
meals and baths for tramps. .... - .. '''.'.
Mrs. Ellen Knewar of New York state, leaves a be
quest of nearly $4,000 to provide a home for stray cats
and dogs.
which has bequeathed the more wisely?
Which provision will relieve the most real suffering
and hardship?
Which will influence the world most toward univer
sal health and happiness?
They are freak gifts and these are freak questions
They cannot be seriously answered. sympathy will no
doubt be on the side of the stray dogs and cats.
To be sure, dogs and cats don't have souls. But,
maybe. neither have tramps. If they have, they make
poor use of them. Souls would increase their RESPONSE
bility and diminish their excuse
The dog and cat, however, having no souls. are not
required to know any better than to be strays. In the
same degree, that a tramp has a soul and knows better
he is less to be sympathized with and pitied.
The stray dog is capable OF mending his ways. AT
the slightest encouragement he is ready 10 cease wander
ing and settle down and stay. He lovingly ticks the
hand that deigns to feed or fondle him and his wagging
tail attests to the sincerity of his gratitude. lie Is the
faithful friend of all who befriend him. He gladly be-
comes a fixture the moment there is any affection to at-
fix himself TO. He tries his best always to be decent and
settled and respected. The dog does not live that does
not yearn to be a member of a happy home and strive It's
best to be worthy of it. The homeless dog is not neces'
sarily of a low disposition or perverted character; he Is
homeless only because of the low disposition of men
The dog looks up to man as a god; and this would be d
far better world all around if man worshiped and served
his God with half the faith and devotion with which the
dog worships and serves man.
It is just the reverse with the human tramp. Duty
and responsibility are not in his vocabulary. He is as
ignorant of gratitude as he is contemptuous of conven-
tional obligations. He regards the "handout as his due
in the world and is ready to hate and harm the hand that
is extended to him in helpfulness. He exists as a parasite
and outcast not because he must, but because he wants
to. To feed him is only to fix him more comfortably IN
his chosen place. To battle him-but that part is only
a misguided philanthropist's dream.
There are vices in the world that ought to be
starved and kicked out of it. The tramp is one of them.
1t is too bad that these two good old women had not
heard that there are such things as poor tenement babies
and WORKOUT sick mothers to whom L little Of the money
being freakishly lavished on dogs aud cats aud 'ramps
might have come as a blessing of heaven.

The Albuquerque Journal and a few other short sight
cd sheets in the territory have long been noted for their
propensity to run down other places in their effort to give
the impression that their particular town is the only peb-
ble on the beach" Just now the question that seems to
weigh heavily on the mind of the editor OF the Journal Is
the fact that a number of the other towns intend to hold
fairs this fall. Evidently the editor of the Journal does
not realize that the very fact of Estancia, Las Vegas and
other towns having the interest to get up fairs OF their
own will add materially to the exhibits at the territorial
fair and Thus he a benefit to Albuquerque. Anything that
helps to advertise any part of the territory helps every
town and county in it, and casting slurs and reflections
on other towns will invariable act to the injury OF the
paper that does it-Estancia News.

AS a part Of its terminal project in New York City,
the Pennsylvania railroad will build a church, parish
house and parochial school, at an estimated cost of So
100000. The structure will cover a large plot running
through from Thlrtythird to Thirtyfourth street, west of
Ninth avenue, and on completion will be turned over TO
St Michaels Catholic church. The present church of
that parish and its other buildings are on Thirty-first and
Thirty-second streets. west Of Ninth avenue. This prop

GOT ONE MILLION DOLLARS
PER MINUTE FOR TALK
Arizona Star

The Boston Herald publishes an interesting story
about ex-Delegate ROdey of New Mexico. 1t states that
during the hearings on the joint statehood bill before
the senate committee, in the session Of congress just
closed, the delegate had been trying hard'to get a dona-
ton Of ten millions of dollars in cash for the common
schools for the great new state; that the committee in
executive session voted to strike out that provision Of
the proposed bill; that Rodey had some arrangement by
which he ascertained that the vots was adverse on that
item, and when it happened he Immediately almost broke
into the executive session of the committee, much to the
around the table, and begged ten minutes additional time
to be heard upon one point which he was afraid he had
not made himself properly understood upon to the COM
mittee.' He begged hr and finally a senator moved that
he be given five minutes. The motion was put and car
ried. Then the delegate proceeded TO talk as that com
mittee had never heard anyone talk before. He talked
at least three hundred words a minute for that five min
utes, with Senator Beyeridge holding a watch upon him.
His last words as he backed out through the door were a
most pathetic and eloquent appeal. A vote was imme-
diately taken to reconsider the former adverse vote, and
it carried; then a motion to give the new state of Ari-
iona, in addition to its immense donation of land, five
millions of dollars In cash as an inviolate school fund
was put and carried also, so that the delegate got a mill
ion dollars per minute for his fiyeminute talk for the
schools Of the new state. Senators Dillingham; and Bey-
eridge afterwards told a reporter of the Herald that they
had heard a good many eloquent and pathetic appeals
made TO committees Of congress, but that the one then
made by Rodey of New Mexico surpassed anything they
had ever heard.

Citizens Of New Orleans have agreed to raise $780,
600 to carry out sanitary precautions to prevent the
spread of the fever. Already large sums have been eX-
pended. and the money loss due to the interruption oil
trade must have been great. Besides, and most impor-
tain of all. the death list is long. Had proper precautions
been taken in the city before the outbreak OF the cpl
demic. New Orleans would have been spared this heavy
loss. Of life and property. 1t would have cost something
to be sure, to make the town fe%verproof. But the eX-
pense would not have approached the cost entailed by the
present epidemic. while no lives would have been sacrt-

"The chaperons" Has q Beau erum.
There is one member Of the male
portion of the chorus OF 1.-The Chap
erons,' the operatic-comedy which
will be seen at the Duncan opera
house Friday night. Nov. 3, who is
rapidly acquiring the reputation of
being the Beau Brummel Of the
theatrical profession. His name is
w. Winton Scott, and he is evidently
possessed of a private income. for his
weekly salary as a chorus boy would
hardly pay for the neckties that he
wears. Mr.. Scott Is a tall athletic
looking young man who carries four
teen trunks. On which he himself pays
the excess baggage. the management
of the company, failing to be suffi-
GENTLY impressed with his sartorial
efforts to assume the added expense.
The young man. even while making
one night stands, changes his raiment
from six to ten times a day. He has
often been known to make three
changes of clothes while making an
all day railroad trip. and invariably
goes to the stage door of a theater
wherever he is playing in evening
dress. He Is the proud possessor OF
twenty-five morning suits, eighteen
Afternoon semi-dress affairs. seven
evening suits. forty-three pairs OF
trousers, seventeen vests. nineteen
pairs Of shoes. eleven hats, a trunk
full Of shirts. and is constantly adding
to his wardrobe.

on the head. Great pools OF blood
dropped on the stone beside him, but

Tainted After Winning.
Fifteen minutes" came the cry
from the lips Of the timekeeper. The
contest was ended. The powerful fel.
low with the wound on his head had
done his duty by himself and his part
ner. The reaction now came and he
fell In a faint. He had won, however,
and he could now afford to faint, but
until the timekeeper had said his task
was over. he had never faltered. Grit
and perseverance alone had kept this
man Of might at his post. Pride in
his power az q man and a driller had
strengthened his heart and had en-
abled him to continue. Once the sus-
pense was ended, he collapsed and
was carried from the scene of victory
limp as q rag. He had demonstrated
what It was to sufier and not sue
cumb, had proved that the spirit Of
the man Of 40 WAS yet alive and
could now afford to be carried away
