Gave Russell the Wrong Gard.

The late Governor Russell was a
fine conversationalist. and always en-
joyed talking. He was asked to ad-
dress a meeting in one Of the small
cities of Massachusetts one evening,
and went by train. The cars were
quite well filled when he got in, so
he asked a gentleman If the vacant
seat beside him was engaged, and, re-
ceiying negative answer. sat down.
Immediately conversation started,
and was carried on until the city was
reached, where both men alighted.
Before they left the train they ex-
changed cards. and shook hands cor
daily when they separated on the sta
ton platform.
Governor Russell arose to address
the meeting and commenced by max
ing f1attering remarks on the city and
people, and said: II met one of your
citizens on the train coming here to-
night and we had most enjoyable
conversation; in fact. don't know
when have had such a delightful
talk as had with him. BY the way ne
gave me his card" taking it from his
pocket and reading the name on it.
At this the audience was convulsed
with laughter. The governor was
somewhat taken aback. and failed TO
see the point, and so asked friend

Eating to Save Money.

Not long ago the nominal head OF
a New York house was moved to ask
the actual head the reason for the in
variable appearance Of certain kind
of chow-chow on the dinner table.
The husband was convinced that a
change might be made with profit,
says the New York Sun.
We've had a five weeks expert
ence with these pickles." he said,
mildly, "and they are not particularly
good at best"
"They are excellent pickles." re-
turned the mans wife. somewhat de-
family. "And any way" she contin-
ued in forcible tone. "they must be
eaten because they are still seven
bottles left of the original dozen. You

Pardon me-" interrupted the man,
"but I don't see why I should help
consume seven more bottles Of chow.

have that number in the house."
"You are flying off at a tangent. as
usual" said the mans wife, ironically,
but not impatiently. what I was go.

this. You see these patent shoppers

"Of course. man wants his wife In

excusingly. "And SO said goodby

The decks were quite deserted now.
Tomorrow they would be alive with

for Mrs. Jefferson and me.

Rice Thrown Away in Tons.

According to the vicar of an Eng
fish church, about two pounds of rice
are thrown at the brides and bride
grooms every week at each of the
seventy-five churches in Birmingham
and its suburbs, and the 5000 pounds
of rice thus thrown away and abso
lutely wasted last year might have
been of very great use in feeding the
recently famine-stricken people of IN
dia. There are over 10000 places ol
worship in this country, and if this es
innate be true for the other churches
of the country, then it follows that
nearly 900 tons of rice are yearly
thrown away at weddings in this coun.
try and wasted at cost Of over $40.

GOMEZ, THE LIeERAToR.

Gen. Maxine Gomez will hold a
place in the class with Bolivar OF Co
ombia, lturbide of Mexico, San Mar
tin of Chill and the other chiettains
who actually or theoretically shook
of the Spanish yoke in the various
Latin-American countries, II was a
smaller field on which Gomez figured,
and Spain had by his time fallen from
her position as a first class power
which she held when the other coun-
tries, from the Rio Grande 10 Cape
Horn. broke away from ner. Never
theless, the Spain of the Regent
Christina sent many times more sol.
diers to Cuba in the war Of 1888
than the Spain of Ferdinand VII. had
in any OF the Central and South
American countries when, in the fl.
teentn century's first quarter, that
blaze of revolution swept from the
gulf of Mexico down TO Cape Horn
and around to the gulf of California.
II is something of an extravaganza
to term Gen. Gomez a liberator. The
real army of liberation for Cuba was
the army which the United States
sent there in 1898. Moreover the
Americans, when they invaded toe is
land had some difficulty in finding
the rebels whom they mad gone to

the last hope of prolonging the resist

had been exhausted when the United
States went to the Cubans' rescue.
But Gomez deserves the plaudlts
which the world viii give him, He
was a brave. patriotic, honest sol

opportunities, and VINO had as little

1t is reported from Albuquerque

showing notable change of senti.

ward the proposition that New Mexi-
co and Arizona shall be admitted by

1t is fortunate if a change of this
kind has taken place, for there is no
question that the feeling among ma
Jority of The Eastern members of CON
gress is hostile to the admission of
either territory as a separate state.
Should the people of the two terri
tories signify Willingness to come in
as one state, they would be admitted
without hesitation by congress next

admit these two territories as one
state and Oklahoma and Indian Ter.
ritory as another will be introduced
Just as it was in the last congress.
and that the desire OF some members
10 aid Oklahoma will induce them to
vote for the bill, Notwithstanding its
passage will involve joint rather than
separate statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona.
United, New Mexico and Arizona
would make one OF the greatest states
In tne Union in point of area. and
their natural resources would in their
development provide for the mainten-
ance of large population. The state
would be so strong and in course OF
time would become so wealthy that it
would be in every respect selfsustain-
ing The ambitions of the people
would be aroused; and just as Texas
people are proud of the greatness OF
their state so the citizens of the new
state would find their proudest boast
in the vast area and inexhaustible re-
sources of their commonwealth.
The idea that the two would not
harmonic is not well founded. They
are so new in their development and
so sparsely settled that it would be
but few years until they would

of interests that they
would never enter,ain thought of

II is the great, the powerful states
which exert the most influence upon
the course of the national govern
ment and the destinies of the repub-
lie. The West needs states OF that
kind. II would be far better for the
West to have one powerful state

stand than two feeble states which

PENSION LIST ToTALED

WASHINGTON.-The pension roll
Of the United States reached the
highest point in the history Of the
country two months ago, when it
contained the names of 1.00l ,7SG pen
sioners. In the opinion of Pension
Commissioner Warner, the high-waier
mark for all time-barriDg the posi-
bility of another war-has been
reached, for he believes that from
now on the tide will steadily recede
with only a slight likelihood of the
total pensioners getting into the sew
en-hgure class again.
The list snrunk to l000,l5S in
April, by reason of a great many
deaths, the net loss in April beine
1,62S.
The most significant death losses
concern the invalids OF the civil war
for the rate of disappearance of these
men will determine whether the to
tai pension list is to grow in size o.
fall away. During April the DEATH
among invalids of the civil war ag
gregated 6s7,S69. The balance o
