Red Rock, Okla. August l4.-Not-
withstanding the conclusive contrary
proofs of science, there are many sub
stantial cattlemen in the southwest
who shake their heads and smile when
told that Texas cattle fever is caused
by tick that transmits the fever vir-
us into the blood. These men hold to
the old notions that splenetic fever
comes from one steers breathing it
into another steers nostrile, etc. The
great majority of cattlemen, however,
have accepted the tick theory and are
cooperating with the United States
department of agriculture in stamp
ing out the disease by quarantine, and
by the establishment of dipping watts.
They know that, in addition to the
great losses annually from fever, n
southern steer, from below the quar-
antine line, is worth 50 head less
than the same steer north of the line,
and that the saving Of $500 on 100
head of cattle by stamping cut Texas
fever is worth the effort.
The destruction Of the tick means
the disappearance of the fever The
department of agriculture says that
the best known way to kill the tick is
to immerse il in a solution of Beau
mont crude petroleum, which suffo-
Gates the tick by closing the pores
through which it breathes. The second
dipping vat under federal control was
established here several years ago,
and in the interval hundreds Of thou
sands Of Texas cattle on their way to
grazing pastures in Northern Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory have been
dipped here and cleansed Of ticks.
The department Of agriculture laid
down a rule that cattle should be
shipped to native pens in northern
markets after one dipping, II later
they were inspected and found to be
free from ticks; or they could go to
the market without inspection II dip
ped twice. with an interval OF two or
three days between the dippings. 1t
had been shown that the ticks can
not survive two dippings, however
hidden they may be in the skin folds
and hair Of q steer.

CRUSADE AGAINST TIGHTS.
Chorus Girl Declares That They Are
Unhealthy.

Miss Olga Orloff, of the chorus, has
begun a crusade against tights. She
says they are unsanitary and that it
will be only a question of time until
they will be obsolete. Olga ought to
know. Her acquaintance with tights
is intimate and of long standing.
"The ordinary girl is made sick by
her first week of wearing tights"
said Olga this afternoon. "When the
tights are worn properly, which means
tight and without wrinkles, there is
a strain of 100 pounds to the square
inch on the silk downward from the
waist line. A delicate girl cannot
stand it.
81, myself, was laid up a week
last season from lameness caused by
my tights. A suit Of extremely close
fitting tights, made me very sore. /
caught cold and could not walk for a
week.
Sometimes a chorus girl is not,
physically, of course, all that she
should be. In other words, nature
has run riot in stowin CHER averdu-
pois. There are hollow places that
need filling out. For such thus af-
fected, the 'haut' is the sovereign
remedy.
"The 'haut' is cut from lambs
wool. II differs from the symmet-
rical in that il is used for only one
occasion. while the symmetrical is
a permanent establishment.

Former Chicagoan Walks Into Home
He Deserted.

Chicago, August l4.-After an un-
explained absence of thirty-one years,
Professor Charles II. Frye, former
superintendent Of the Chicago normal
school. has returned home. One Of
his first acts upon arrival at his home
was to hand q roll Of crisp 500 bills,
totalling 5000, to his wife, with the
remark, "Ask me no questions.
Frye was 81 years old when he dis
appeared. Since that day, no word
has been received from him by his
wife. He was recognized Immediately
in spite Of his years and altered ap-
pearance. He is said to have made
money in the Philippines, where he
resided for several years. His wish
that no questions be asked has been
respected and he has settled down
at home ss though nothing had hap
pened.

But i is upon trifiing matters like
these that the charges of the govern

the accusations against the Standard

been no storage charges against the

n well known fact that the Standard

Feeding Municipal Employees.

Commissioner LANTRY Of the Fire
Department received a delegation from
the uniformed force recently and lis
tened alphabetically to their suggestion
that a luncheon wagon carrying hot
coffee and simple eatables should be
added to the plant and sent to all third
alarm fires. The firemen asked the city
to provide the wagon and promised to
raise by subscription among themselves
the money necessary to maintain it.
Mr.. LANTRY had been trying to find
legal warrant for the establishment
Of such a service at city expense. Ii
does not seem unreasonable that the
city should pay the whole cost of this
enterprise in behalf of the physical well
fare OF the men, particularly when the
expenditure Of $4,000 a year for chap
lains to care for their moral and relig-
ious needs is considered justifiable.
The desirability Of furnishing a cup of
hot coffee and a sandwich to a fireman
on duty on a cold night in winter is ap-
parent. 1t is for the good of the service
and for the public benefit. The city

employees whose duties keep them at
their desks overtime. II once footed the
bills for charming little repasts served
at noon to the members of a board COM
posed of high salaried men, among whom
was q commissioner al the head Of
IN important department. Comptroller
METZ has stopped this practice. That
does not mean that Mr.. METZ would
oppose the plan Mr.. LANTRY has been
trying TO put into effect.
The scheme has more to commend it
than the fact that it would mitigate
some Of the unpleasant incidents of the
firemen's life. 1t would save the men
from colds and in many cases from the
complete exhaustion that makes. a man
a prey to disease. 1t would increase
the efficiency of each man and decrease
the sick list. Men would not be tempted
so strongly to use alcoholic drinks. One
Of the remarkable facts about the Fire
Department is that its members do not
drink much more than they actually do.
for their opportunities and temptations
are numerous.
The only objection TO the plan Mr..
LANTRY has approved is that the men
are TO pay the shot.

Our Disappearing Fore,tA.

The Bureau OF Statistics reports that
practically the whole world is asking for
American wood and its products.' It is
our national misfortune that we cannot
decline to grant these requests. We
need all the timber we have left, and IL
we do not promptly take some effective
steps toward ~reforestation it will in all
probability be only a short time before
conditions will be reversed. The United
States may become the suppliant.
Within the last ten years we have ex-
ported about $500, 600, 900 worth of forest
products. The greater part of this was
shipped in the form of lumber. Such
trade is of more than doubtful advantage
to the country. 1t is true that our ex-
ports are only about 10 per cent. Of Il
total cut, but that 10 per cent is needed
right here at home. The total value of
our lumber and timber products in 1900,
the latest ems year, was $3.50, 900, 900.
II is probable that it is now largely in
xce OF that amount. At the present
pace our timber u will Don be
exhausted and we shall have no wood
for export and only a limited and costly
supply for domestic use.
The Congress can better serve the
country by devising measures for refor-
estation than it can by discussing eight
hour bills and anti-injunction bills and
superfuous laws for regulating railways
and other corporations. Before many
years we shall want lumber even more
than does the rest Of the world.
As far back as the year 100 the Earl
of BELLoMoNT, then Governor of New
York, suggested that every one who cut
down a tree should be compelled to plant
five or six young trees to restore the
forest growth.
Not A bad idea.

Neither Is the present Premier believed

como Of the recent municipal elections
renders it doubtful whether the Banner
man Government could carry England
~proper-the predominant partner-on
the education issue. II is therefore
taken for granted that since the Lords
seem disposed to render compromise
impossible. the Education bill will be
dropped and will not be brought up
again until after a year or two, during
which period it is expected the House Of
Lords, by rejecting other measures, will
have alienated many sections Of the
electorate. Then, il the demand now
made by the National-Liberal Associa-
ton be needed, a determined effort will
be made either to abolish the House Of
Lords or else TO reduce IL to a secondary
function.
But how, it may be asked, would the
Liberal party proceed1 The first step
would be to pass a bill embodying the
desired Transformation OF the upper
chamber. That bill, OF course, would
be thrown out by the Lords, whereupon
the Liberal Government would forth
with dissolve Parliament and appeal to
the electors on that issue alone. II the
Liberals again obtained a large ma
jority Of the House Of Commons that
body would pass the bill a second time,
and il the Lords again rejected it would
follow the precedent set by the House
OF Commons in the days Of the Common
wealth, and by its own fiat proclaim the
upper house extinct. As, according to
the hypothesis, the people would have
shown themselves distinctly in favor Of
tho House Of Commons, the sovereign
would probably side with that body,
and there would be nothing for the Peers
to do but to submit.
Latin is still quoted in the House OF
Lords; but few of the Unionist Peers
seem to remember the adage, Quos Deus
vuH perdere, prius denentdt.

THE JAPANESE IN BASEBALL.
Unhappy Conclusion OF an international
Match In T~ientsln.

We very much regret 20 learn. says the Nan Fang
Pao. that the baseball game between the teams
of the ST. JOINS College and the Tungwen KuAn
Gapanese) which took place last Saturday after
noon on the drill ground near the KiangnAn Arsenal
appears that during the nrst inning, while the 81.
Johns College boys were batting. one OF them came
In on q hit by one OF his fellows. but this run was
dissllowed BY the Japanese on the ground that the
runner did not touch the third base.
The umpire. however, decided that the run was
fair In accordance with the latest American bsSe
ball rules. This the Japanese players persisted
in disallouing, and nnally. falling 70 persuade the
umpire over to their views. they took Up the bases
and broke up the game. Thereupon the umpire
declared the game As having been won by the 81.
Johns College team at . score OF o 10 o. according
TO American baseball rules governing such cases.
and that this score would be duly recorded.
Al this the Japanese players and spectators
kicked up u rumpus and OBTAINING the bicycle
of the umpire refused to let him depart unless he
reconsidered his decision and altered his verdict.
To this demand the umpire could not see his wav
70 accede. with the result that a long ana tedious
parley followed, during which the japanese crowd
created a load uproaT. rendering the situation most
unpleasant TO all concerned.
Finally the umpire was allowed 10 depart With
his bicycle without further molestation. he having
told the japanese that the position OF umpire vas
forced upon him by them. and that consequently
his decislon must be accepted a. nnal.
In another account II Is stated that some 'oT-lsn

furthermore, he is in the very perfection
Of his physical, moral and intellectual
development. Again like him, he is a
cultivated, amiable, courteous and pol
ished gentleman, as ornamental in the
drawing room as he is sage in council
and all compelling in emergency.
IL our British cousins are looking for a
diplomatic emissary who will commend
himself TO the American President, not
only by a community Of taste. ambition
and achievement, but through the subtle
lattery of imitation, it must be evident
that they have found him in WILLIE
G~RENFELL, the strong man of Taplow.'
II is not at all surprising that English
men, hearing of the prospective arrange
ment, exclaim: How famously he will
get on with ROOSEVELT
We are told that Lord DEsBoRoUGH
has had mo experience in diplomacy"
but what OF that? Who cares about the
dull routine. the cut and dried formulas
of official etiquette? The point OF real
importance is covered by the fact that
the strong man of Taplow" will get on
famously with ROOSEVELT" and thus
rivet anew those bonds OF affection
which receive occasional attention at
international banquets, but need, and
under this halcyon conjunction will,
enjoy a constant, unremitting inspeo-
ton and reinforcement. The circum-
stance Of WILLIE GRENFELL's wealth,
high social position, impulsive hospital
ity and fervent gregarious impulses will
no doubt infuse into Washington so
ciety' a special and peculiar rapture.
That is a mere detail. Let the bounder
rage and the toady imagine a vain thing
they'll do it, anyhow
What the English speaking world
demands, and r~ighteously, is a British
Ambassador at the American capital who
will meet the Presidents expectations
at every point, and so usher in the long
wished for dispensation Of q perfect love
and harmony.

Publicity is one OF the most popular
remedies for all abuses and grievances in
the state. Nor can IL be confined to public
matters. Private affairs. misunderstand-
ings and scandals are all submitted to its
limelight. Practically, privacy has ceased
to exist. The world is a village, ade-
quately supplied with reporters; and it is a
happiness of the present age that it does
not have to confine itself to the history OF
the past. There is too much past; there
are too many accumulations and arrears
Of history for anybody to read it. Too
often, hitherto, posterity has enjoyed the
meat and marrow Of the political and per-
sonal story Of the preceding generation or
two. Too many vital and interesting doou-
ments were unpublished. Only an onicisl
view OF things and persons was generally
~attainable. History was served cold and
hat.
Now the only history men really care
about, that of their own times, Is spread
before the world. 1t is piping hot. 1t
comes from the actors and the takers in it.
II is live matter for living men. Every
reader has the documents and can make
up his own mind as to the facts. This is
the method Of some %judicious historians in
dealing with events more remote.
Considerations Of etiquette, itself per-
haps a development of savsgery and the
taboo, are futile. The public enjoys pub
licity. IL will not ave it's great men en-
wrapped in seclusion or condemned TO silence.
Curiosity is the root of knowledge. 1t is a
universal instinct, to the satisfaction OF
which prudent statesmen will not fail to
attand
