FAIRNESS TO ALL CONCERNED.

p
action on giving contractors and
builders until December II to file their
bids, and fixing 100000 as the sum to
be expended has overcome the objec-
lions that have been made to the form
of the advertisement for bids. In the
first place, those who desire to bid are
given ample time to prepare plans and
present their bids accordingly. In the
second place the fixing of the amount
totbe expended gives every contractor
full Information Of the cloth there is
from which to cut the suit in question.
Further objections to the procedure
OF the capitol commission, therefore,
will make it apparent that the OBJ
jectors are inclined to bubble and do
not care to enter into the competition
upon it's merits. e..
The action of the capitol commission
in requiring that plans and bids be
submitted together, as opposed to the
plan of first getting plans and after
ward advertising for bids upon those
plans, is based upon their judgment
that the first plan will prove more
satisfactory to the people Of the state
and will insure the erection of a suit
able building with the funds that will
be in hand. In determining the
amount of funds to be expended, the
commission is guided by the action of
the legislature which provided that
certificates to this extent might be
Issued in anticipation Of the sale of
lands. This indicates the willingness
of the legislature to warrant the e1-
penditure of this amount of funds.
The capitol commission is observing
the implied will of the legislature and
will not exceed this amount. This
should satisfy the critics who have
complained that the state might be
bound by the commission for a larger
sum than the capitol lands would
bring. The requirement that con-
tractors shall submit plans and bids
upon them insures that when plans
are selected, they will be accompanied
with bids and bonds for the erection
of the building for a specified and GER
tain amount. 1t is well known fact
that architects frequently submit plans
calling for certain expenditure and
that after the plans are accepted and
bids called for, the bids far exceed the
architects estimate. It is this plan
that would be most likely to lead to
expenditures above the amount Of
money authorized by the Legislature.
Given plenty Of time to prepare plans
and submit, not estimates, but actual
bids upon these plans, every contrac-
tor is treated alike. The commission
will then employ a competent and ex-
pert building superintendent to see
that the building is erected exactly in
accordance with the plans and for the
amount bid. - -.
Statements that the capitol commits
sion is inspired by Interior motives are
not justified. The commission is falli-
BILE, like every other human authority.
But 1t is striving to get the best build
Ding possible for the money in hand.
1t has given all contractors an equal
chance in the matter. The contractor
who submits the best scheme for the
new building at a price within the sum
I at the disposal of the commission, will
get the job II he is prepared to guaran
tee that the work will be done.

Beef Tea.

This story was told by an old phy- sician who had practlsed for nearly fifty years in small country town. One day he was summoned to farm- house, where he found woman in a high fever and evidently exceedingly i'll. He said to her husband, who was the only other person in the house:
 Your wife is very sick and must have nothing to eat except milk and beef tea, but l want you to give her a cup of one or the other every two hours" When he came the next morn- ing and asked about his patient, her husband said:
 "That beef tea don't agree with her, doctor. It certainly don't. She began to feel bad as soon as she took it." ~"That's odd," said the doctor. You didn't give her any little bits of the meat in it, did you?"
 No, sir I strained it first on ac- count of the grounds"
 'GrOundsw roared the doctor. "What did you make that beef tea out of?'
 Corn beef and the best green tea, boiled 'em together all yesterday afternoon to get the strength out. But 1t don't agree with her, doctor. It certainly don't" ."-Youth's Companion.

An Ostrich Race.

Tn selecting ostriches for menager. les or geological gardens, the swiftest are chosen; not because it will be nec- essary for them to run in their new quarters, but because swiftness is a good indication of health and robust ness.
 One of these agents visited pen of ostriches in Africa At his call, two beautiful birds came up to him. Be- ing desirous of testing their speed, he arranged with the keeper that they should run a race; so he caressed the birds, and showed them a handful of figs, of which they are very fond.
 The ostriches were held while the visitor walked to certain distance At signal they were set free, and began to run for the figs. They came bounding along at terrific rate, talk ing twelve or fourteen feet at a strike.
 They ran neck and neck for more than half the distance their wings working like arms and making a great sound. Presently one drew ahead, and, looking behind, as boy in a foot race might do, to see where his rival was, and finding the other one beaten, the winner slackened his pace and gently trotted up for the prize of figs.

WHEN FORKS WERE NEW
How Their Use Impressed n Lady the
 First Time She Saw Them.

l1u1C DIG SuW lHeus
 A lady who saw forks used for the first time at dinner of Henry III. of France records her Impressions" of the occasion. Henry had in 1547 been rendered magnificent reception in Venice. At this entertainment forks were used. The royal guest observed them with much interest and immedi- ately introduced them to the French court.
 It seems from the account of the lady, who had never used them be- fore, that some others were in the same predicament. She writes:
 "They never touched the meat with their fingers, but with forks, which they carried to their mouths, bending their necks and bodies over their plates.
 "There were several salads. These they ate with forks, for it is not con sidered proper to touch the food with the fingers. However difficult it may be to manage it, it is thought better to put the little forked instrument in the mouth than the fingers.
 "The artichokes asparagus, peas and beans were brought. It was pleasure to watch them try to eat these with their forks, for some, who were less adroit than the others, dropped as many on their plates and on the way to the mouth as they were able to get to their mouths.
 "Afterward great silver basin and pitcher of water were brought, and the guests washed their hands, though 1t seems as if there would not be much scent of meat and grease on them, for they had touched their food only with those forked Instruments"

The Man with tho Ho! Ho!

The Man with tho HO! Ho! I love the ringing of music of cheery,
 hearty laugh, For it routs the imps of worry as the
 breezc5 scatter chaff. And there's not a scene of gladness
 known to mortals here below But is made a little gladder by merry
 ho! ho! ho! For merriment's singer, and laughter
 is his song, And where the singer singeth the happy
 angels throng, For in all ceestial> anthems nothing
 sweeter is, l trow, Than the melody that lures in ho! ho.
 ho! ho! ho! You are feeling rather weary-'tis an oft
 recorded tale And you fancy troubles demons all are
 camping on your trail. Till you meet the man of laughter, with
 his cheery ho. ho! ho! And, some way, as you listen, all the
 haunting demons go Then you VOW this old planet is place
 of joy and cheer, And there's pleasure in reilecting that
 you now are living here And you wouldn't for fortune lose your
 grip on things below All because you hear the music of a
 ringing ho. ho! ho. Two angels walk upon the earth, walk
 daily to and fro, The one is clad in robes of white, the
 one in garb of woe. The voice of one is laughter; the others
 is sigh. Joy is the one; the other woe; for souls
 of men they vie; And the one comes running. running,
 summoned by the witching spell Of the ripping notes of laughter that
 the spirits rapture tell; While the other straight is driven from
 the souls it haunts below By the ringing and the singing of ho!
 ho. ho! ho. ho! We all love the music of a cheery, hearty
 laugh To spirits bowed with trouble 'tis a
 heaven-given staff But our burdens seem so heavy as we
 pass them in review That we often let another do the laugh
 ing we should do; At any rate, it's so with me, for I'm
 of brittle clay, And haply it is so with you, although
 do not say; And so, perchance, you'll join with me,
 this one bouquet to throw To the man who brings us blessings with
 his ho! ho! ho! ho! ho! New York Times.

F1attering Beaux.

Girls, beware of hattering beaux, for while as friends they always peaux, they often turn out to be feaux; they fatter your eyes, mouth and neaux, and praise your makeup from head to teaux.

of surgical instruments suitable for
all the ordinary operations attendant
upon railroad smash-up.
With an immense mileage through
a sparsely populated country where
distances between towns are SO great
as to make local medical aid pre-
carious dependence, the road finds 1t
necessity and an economy to pro-
vide its own hospital service on
wheels, for the saving of life and
limb, which with the equivalent cash
saving in damage suits, makes the
emergency car as valuable from the
dollars and cents point of view as
for humanitarian reasons. Other
similar, though less elaborate, cars
will be built by the Southern Pacific
and stationed on the various divis-
ions of the line, and in addition to
these, IL is also the roads intention.
according to the Railway Age, to es-
tablish emergency hospitals at re-
mote points on the system.
Few people know that in the older
sections of the country the railroads
have for years maintained a system
by which surgical aid can be brought
to any point on the line in the short
est possible time and with the least
possible excuse fer confusion or
bungling. 1t is the general custom
on American roads for each division
to have It's regularly appointed sur
geons, selected from practitioners,
along the line. At each important
center one, sometimes several, sur
geons are regularly engaged by the
road. Some are retained on fixed
salary, but the majority on a fee
basis, receiving payment for such
work as they perform.
Outside of the towns the country
is divided into districts, each appor-
toned to a local doctor, who must

point of his territory at moments
notice. 1t is the business of the
chief surgeon of the road to keep in
touch with these men, know where
they are to be reached at all times
and provide a plan of campaign for
each district, so that the call for
medical aid may be sent out with the
least possible delay and doctors and
medical supplies carried to the scene
of the accident without the loss of
minute. Often the injured are treat
