PAYS FOR HIS TRICKERY.

"We have a regular fund, called the conscience fund" sad a man who sits at highly polished desk in one of the local railroad general offices. 'It is peculiar how the fund grows. and it shows the strange workings of the conscience of man.
 Recently we he'd an extraordinary case. A young fellow down in Ken lucky cut the telegraph wires and, heinz an operator. he connected an in- strumpnt and sent message to the nearest station. ordering the agent to give him a ticket to Chicago and al vance him S4O. He closed the message with the name of one of the high off cials of tira road. Half an hour later he walked into the station and asked if there wss a ticket for him. The agent gave it to him and also paid him the cash. He took the first train end was never heard of acain until a few Savs aco. when we re~etved check for tho full amount The wires were cut fhrrn years ago."-LouisviIIe Cour- ier-JournaL

IRRATIONAL INSTITUTION

President Roosevelt, in his message opening congress in December. point ed out that the business Of insurance had attained national proportions, ana his words will be remembered by those who read and examine the an- nual statement for the year 1904 or the Prudential Insurance Co.
 The company wrote and issued dur ing 1904 over $312O00.O0O of paid-for life insurance. increasing the number of policies in force to nearly six mil lions, and bringing the amount Of in- surance in force to sum exceeding o,,e billion dollars.
 This company. whose agencies ex- tend to every state in the union. Is a truly national institution, not only in size, but in the position which 1t oc. crpies as the trustee for tn" funds Of the millions in all parts of the country. thus fu~,ishinp the means of making provision for the future for themselves and their dependents.
 That this trust is well placed Is shown nv the feet that the company has accumulated assets of over SSS,- OcO.NOO. and a surplus exceeding Sl3.- Oon, ,OOO. the liabilities being sI5.OO.- GOO. The exhibit this year gives a very plain and convincing statement of the character of these assets and of the security which Is affortied on irs loans, on bonds and mortgages, and collateral securities.
 One very interesting item of the statement Is the amount paid to its poI;cy holders. Over S13.O0O.O0O were raid to policy holders during 1gi. The company has paid to policy hold CTS to date total of over sS2 0n.OOO. It is certainly impossible to estimate the amount of good which the distf- button of this vast sum of ron"y has occompl,shpd for the American peo- ple who have been its recipients.
 The company has at different times made chances and concessions in Its policies, which resulted in giving ad- ditioral benefits to those insured. Wherever practicable these conces. sions are made retroactive: and up to the present time the company has distributed in cash dividends and other concessions. not stipulated III ori~inal contracts. and voluntarily given to holders of old policies. over five million dollars.
 The company will furnish any in. formation concerning lts policies to those who write to the home office al Newark, N. ].

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1905.

Little short of travesty on leglsla- ton was the consideration of the na. val appropriation bill conducted by the senate committee on naval affairs. The committee occupied just an hour considering the measure which appro- priates over $1OO,00O,OOO and the pros poets are that no adequate time will be devoted to the measure on the floor of the senate. The methods by which congress does business are such thai when standing committee reports a measure majority of the members Of either house accepts such report for individual members of congress have neither time nor the information which would enable them to make any detailed examination of the various measures on which they are called upon to vote. Incidentally the presi
 dent appears to have won his figh' for two battleships despite the fac, that a majority of congress believe, further construction of these monste
 engines of war. which cost fabulous sums, is injudicious.

The fact that a representative gov crnment Is seriously talked of for the Transvaa1 colony So soon after the overthrow of the Boer power Is sig nificant. The Boer leaders are said to he sulIen and distrustful and must he appeased. The Boers are agitating for a government dependent wholly upon the popular will. and associations have been organized to aGitate the question. The British rulers are inclined to grant a representative legislative body of which some of the members would be appointed and the others elected by the people. A compromise is talked of which would give tho country districts where the Boers are strongest a de cided advantage over the towns where the outlanders control It is note, worthy at this time that the press of Holland declares that the Boers are re- newing the great treks Of 1884 and 1s44 in scattered groups. going in diff ferent directions. About 2.IG9 Boers have settled in German Southwest Af. rica since the Boer war. but Germany does not welcome them The South African Post. published in Amsterdam. advises the Boers who locate within German boundaries to qualify as citi- zens. submitting to the demands of the German government and accepting the duties of the state.

cows MILK FOR COLT.
What It Did for One Unpromising Little Foai-Skim Milk
 Is Used.

Several years since we had . young grade coach mare n foal to a German coach stallion. Lslore the time Tor foaling she had an attack of disease from the effects of which she became much run down and poor, writes E. R. Toule, in Live Stock Journal. The ioal appeared all right on being dropped, but as the dam gave very little milk it made but little growth and was thin and poor.
 When two months old, along about the commencement of autumn. 1t was taken from the mother and put in the barn. where 1t was fed with fresh green grass. Having . tairy and a separator, the colt was taught to drink the skinned milk while sweet snd warm. It soon became fond of the milk ami commenced to grow and fill out. It was kept in rcomy pen all through the winter and given the skinned milk along with Its other feed. As a result 1t grew finely. became round. smooth. coated and ts,dsome in great contrast with the poor, small half-starved, pni- nal at the beginning. By spring there was rot finer locl-irg colt around, and it attracted much attention on this account. .-...
 Perhaps others may obts.n a hint from this experience that might prove of much value to them under similar conditions. When fall colts are raised the stimmed milt diet might be of advantage along with the other feed.

HEARD IN PASSING

Senator Lodge says that the gov ernment seeds are humbug. A good many people who have planted them are of the same opinion.
 The Kansas legislature proposes to have it's cOnvicts work the oil refiner- les in opposition to. the Standard oil Co. According to Tom Lawson, the competition will be between men who are in jail and those who ought to be.
 Among what seem like freak bills is one paying the fare home once a week of pupils in the state normal schools, another paying each town with a high school $1O for each child attending the school, and another granting a pension of $25O annually to each deaf and dumb child.-Hartford Times.
 Editorial writing is potent because, though 1t may directly convince the minds and guide the action of rela- lively small number of men. these are pretty sure to be men of intellectual candor and activity, who become them. selves centers of Influence, radiating the views and arguments of the press through great spaces about them where umenlightened minds wander helpless.-New York Times.
 Mir Roosevelt Is not the first presi- dent to collide with the senate, nor will he be the last. Even MT McKili- ley, whose long service in the house made him an expert in the matter of congressional procedure, and whose temperament made him master of diplomacy, had his experience. The senate keeps close eye on the white house, and the white house close eye on the senate, and both are right Neither should. nor is likely to. over- look any important point in the game.

 Senator Bailey of Texas was the -nly protestant against the passage by he senate of the provision for giving Senator Hawley $4,12 year for life IS retired brigadlcr-general of the rmy. He argued that Senator Hnw- ny had been we'll paid for whatever crvices he has rendered, and went Oh Q criticise the regular army while raising the volunteer forces, who, he id. were the country's real resource time of war. This would seem to @ in favor of providing for General yawley rather than against it, since is military services were all rendered an officer of volunteers.--Harttord Times,

An analysis of the divorce statistic. for the decade ending 1900, made b, the Baltimore American, gives mos suggestive result. The American says: There has always been a lower l,e. centage of divorces among men en. gagged in agricultural pursuits than fin any other calling, not excepting the clergy. Soldiers, sailors and marines. on the other hand, show the highes, average of married infelicity. Next among the high averages come the hOstlers, the actors, agricultural la borers, bartenders. servants and wait. CTS. musicians and teachers of music. photographers, paperhangers. barbers. lumbermen. and so on, diminishing in ratio until the lowest average Is reach ed. as before stated, among the farm. CTS" A glance at this showing of the fluctuations in marriage failures leads to the inference that the husband who settles down. so to speak, has the best chance of keeping out of the di- vorce courts. The comment some times made upon the union of certain couples that they fought never to have married" seems cynical. but it is well for candidates to take note that mar riage must have favorable environ. ment to go along happily.

Legislative Levy is Quarter Of a
Million Under Two Years Ago
APPROPRIATIONS COMPARED
A Very Satisfactory Showing and in
Accordance With the Wishes of
the People of the State

The approval Of appropriation bills
makes possible some comparison of ap-
preparations of this Legislature with
those of the preceding one; or, rather,
of the tax levies provided. The specific
appropriations of particular Legislature
would afford but a partial and imper-
feet exhibit and a misleading compar-
ison, since important items of public
expenditure are often provided for IN
continuing appropriations, which do not
appear in the appropriations of succeed
ing years. bat do appear in the tax ex-
tensions. The taxes necessary 10 provide
the several funds appropriated by this
Legislature and for the continuing appro-
priations of former legislatures are eX-
tended and distributed 10 the various
counties by the auditor generals de
partment a. fast as the approval of the
acts gives them the authority of the law :,
and il Is now possible To make an ap-
proximately complete exhibit and com
parison between the taxes 10 be levied
this year for the conduct of the state
government and maintenance of the
state institutions, and those OF two years
ago.
