State Secretary Peck of the Y. M.
g. A. made some interesting state
ments in the course of his talk last
Sunday afternoon. His statistics
in regard to the growth of the or
ganization with which he is con-
nected surprised his audience.
Many millions of dollars are invest
ed in buildings. ETC., in the railroad
and commercial centers of traffic,
and the statement was made that
the money expended and members
added during the last five years
for the Y. NJ C. A. amounted to more
than had been realized in all it's AZ
years of history previous. What
is your life" was the theme at the
afternoon mems meeting, and Mr..
Peck put the question in manner
to set men thinking. Among other
things the growing evils Of the
cigarette habit were portrayed, and
the testimony following showed that
this evil is already debasing boys
and young men in our own town.
If the Sunnyside club can create
sentiment against this evil strong
enough to stop the traffic in "coffin
nails, it will have done a work
that every public spirited citizen
can approve. A number of new
members were enrolled for the
Sunnyside club at the close of the
meeting.

measure, drove two Republicans
back into the Republican ranks.
When the Horton bill first came
over into the house from the senate
there was a strong opposition to it
by the Republican leaders. But
Gov. Johnson, by indirect implica-
ton, led some of the Republican
members to believe that the bill was
satisfactory to him, and sentiment
changed.
The bill passed.
Then came the influence of the
leaders of the Democratic machine
in Ramsey county. These leaders
saw in the new capitol positions for
about $50 of the faithful-from sup
erintendent down to charwoman,
regardless OF competency.
The governor vetoed the bill.
The question then arose as to
whether the uncompleted building,
costing nearly $4,000. 900, was to be
taken from the capitol commission
ers with its force of skilled engi-I
neers, machinists, electricians, etc.,
and turned over to the Ramsey
county Democratic machine to be
filed by incompetents.

upon their rusty hinges until people
fancied the old place was haunted.

he has the presidential bee buzzing in
his bonnet everybody seems to admit,

a prominent part as western radical

government. Several years ago re-
pentant government employe who had
succeeded in robbing Uncle Sam with
out having been found out, mailed to
the secretary of the treasury from some
place abroad the large sum of $4,000.
The money thus received 10 called

fictitious designation, as there is no
particular fund to which these contri-
buttons are placed. All this money Is
turned into the Treasury.
The origin Of the Conscience fund"
was away back in 1911, when President
Madison received a letter telling him OF
commission Of crime against the
government, and inclosing SUM of
money as restitution. Since that time,
almost century, 1t Is estimated that
about $400,000 have been turned into the
treasury by conscience-stricken people.
One Of the most interesting letters re-
Gently received was from man in Chi
cago, who wrote about year and half
ago as follows: Years ago took

orchard at Fort Sheridan, and, wishing
to make compensation for the same. I

years ago man sent contribution Of
$4,000. He sent the money in the shape
Of eight $4,000 notes, cutting them ex-
actly in half when he sent the first In

send the other half when the first part
had been acknowledged through the
newspapers This was promptly done,
and the other halves OF the notes were
received.

pording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat. ::
BACK in Arkansas some years ago
had occasion to give some little atten-
lion to one of these humble strategists,
and under untavorable conditions, too,
from the standpoint Of the dog, for he
WAS very old, almost blind and didn't
have q tooth In his head. Bob was
brindle dog, medium size, and had the
most pugnacious temperament have
ever known. He was the leader always
pf the pack, and no better leader could
have been found, for he was the most
successful dog In a bear campaign ever
knew. Dogs that fought with him fol-
lowed him strictly In his methods. His
plan was to limit the zone of operations
TO the smallest possible radius, and it
was conspicuous fact in his career that
no bear ever succeeded in getting more
than 100 yards from the point OF the first
attack. He simply could not get away
from Bob and the dogs that followed
him. Bob fought in circle, and for
IN evident purpose.
Instead Of going in any one straight
direction the bear would keep whirling
around in circle. Bob's plan in limit
ang the zone Of operations vas to make
relief quicker. When we heard him
open up We knew we could go straight
10 him, as the bear would not be al
lowed to make much progress, and We
never made any mistake about this

ton for some impoverished, always
noble, friend, or when tradespeople,

the Identification of the national cap

some three or four years ago by COM
mission appointed under resolution
of the senate secured by the late Sena-
tor Mcmillan, of Michigan. 1t included
in the future development of Washing
ton practically the improvements which
are now being made adjoining the cap

from the capitol westward past the

meet with the national cemetery at Ar

ginia Lees.
This Wide park, or succession OF parks,
was to be bordered by public buildings
to be erected in the future, and its de-
velopment contemplated the clearing
out of a considerable portion of the city
now built up. It was an expensive
scheme, and its full completion would
mean the expenditure of probably $780,
100000. The advocates Of this park sys-
tenn urged that it need not be carried
into execution for half century to
come, but that the general idea should
be adopted and future improvements be
made in conformity to it. President
Roosevelt has taken up the scheme and
Is firm believer in it. He has already
directed that two new buildings, one for

other for the District of Columbia, which
are soon to be under construction shall

tenn, and their exterior design to har-
