Has 800 AMssicAN IDOLS.
Rare Collection Took Seventeen
Years in Gathering.

L. Bradford Prince, ex-governor
OF New Mexico, has probably the
finest private collection of Indian
stone idols in the United States,
says the Kansas City Times. The
ldols-l,5O0 of them-are stored in
Mr.. Princes home in Santa Fe, ex-
cepting some loaned to the National
museum in Washington and the
Metropolitan museum in New
York.
MY family says there isn't room
to turn around at our house for
the images" the ex-governor said,
laughingly, at the Coates house.
When asked if he could estimate
the value of his collection, which in
cludes many curios besides idols, he
shook his head.
1T took II years to gather all the
idols and cost a lot of money to get
them to Santa Fe," he said. "Some
OF the larger ones are made of pun
Ice and are very brittle. They had
to be sacked and carried carefully
over mountains to my home. They
were all taken from the ruins of an
elent cities, which are scattered over
New Mexico. The largest is fve4
and one-half feet tall and they
range down to tiny images. Many
present human figures, others are
the form of animals, and all are
connected with the complicated
mythology still believed by the sur
Of these old peoples.

MORE MONEY IN IT.
Why One Man Declined Election az
United States Senator.

]. H. Hale, the millionaire fruit
grower of South Glastonbury,
Conn.,, who is known all over the
country as one of the largest grow
ers in the world, is perhaps the
only man in the country who ever
turned down" a unanimous cleo
ton as United States senator. Mr..
Hale owns something like $4,000
fruit trees in Georgia. 1t cost him
last year nearly 100000 merely to
put his enormous crop on the mar
ket, but he is n of the most de-
lightfully unostentatious men in
Connecticut.
He has always been interested in
movements for the betterment of
his town and state. Some few years
ago he was rendered the election
as senator con a silver platter" as
ne aptly put it. When waited upon
by the legislative committee, Mr..
Hale literally held up his hands.
Gentlemen" he said, 81 don't
want to be elected to your august
senate. Really, l don't. I'd rath-
er be a farmer. Besides-there's
more money in it." And Mr.. Hale,
who has gained considerable prom
inence as a public speaker, says he
is still "close to the soil"

WHERE NATURE DOES COOKING.

There are one or two countries
Iceland, for example-where wash
day is not dreaded, because nature
provides the hot water at ones very
springs Of tA sgpoGiffng gs7sers. But
there is only one country where the
native women do practically all their
cooking by unaided nature, and that
IS the North island of New Zealand.
Here is a wonderland of a thou
sand square miles, so volcanic that
a lire may be lighted by inserting
a few sticks in the earth, and wher-
ever one makes a hole he speedily
has a pool Of boiling water, into
which a pudding may be lowered in
eased in a cloth and cooked expedi-
tiously.
Frequently in perfectly cold
streams a boiling hot current NAV
seen and felt running along the
edge Of the river, and here tbe
Maori women do their own and the
white mans washing. Naturally.
the volcanic region Of New Zealand
is a dangerous country to wander
m without a guide, and many tour
lists have lost their lives as the re-
Of such earelessness.

THE HABIT OF WORK.

If one were advising members of
the literary craft, who usually feel
that they have a right to lean upon
the promptings Of inclination, one
would say: Write every day from
ten to one; and once the habit is
formed Of so doing, the thought will
answer the daily summons at the
given hour; ideas are amenable to
habit, like most forces. The
"riter must tackle his task at a
P fFSSeep dt5BRdfa u$5,p s6tr the 3cnuu gh0ar
ders his books and marches into
school, never asking if that is the
psychological moment Of illumina-
ton, only if it is the hour when
the school bell rings. So for most
Of the worlds work the great point
is not to postpone and do something
else, which one fondly persu3des
oneself is preparatory to the wlrk,
but to begin promptly en- the ho-
ment with such facilities and dbl
tiles as one can muster. 'Lthch

an initiative as possible" realizing
that only so can you put yourElf to

PRETTY CHINESE GOLD FISH,.

Why This SiIencel

Last summer the Monroe City
DEMOCRAT used to have a week
ly write up of the baseball
games in that city. Two weeks
ago a much advertised game
between Shelbina and Monroe
was played at that place and
we have failed to find a line IN
the DEMOCRAT tor the past two
weeks about the game. 1t
spoke of the game in advance
and we suppose its readers are
still waiting to hear the result.
-Shelbina Democrat.
The one word, Dirty, is a
complete answer to the above
and we are astonished that such
stuff appears in the Democrat
and that when they know a
long past due SHINING is due
and comm they throw up their
hands and say: Oh I'm girl,
The Democrat lied when il
said we held our columns oper
for a report of that game and il
lies again in the above for the

Ada Married.

Miss Ada Burks. the lady
who figured so couspicuously In
the DR.. Taylor Jones Watson
trial at New London about
eighteen months ago, has been
married for several months and
her husband is not DR.. Watson,
but an old admirer OF hers who
paid her attention prior TO the
Watson episode.
The Journal is not con versant
with the name of the man nor
his place of residence, but he is
not now a resident of Denver
or Pueblo, Colorado. This is
aut hentic. not mere rumor and
was learned by a Journal repre-
sentative from a person who is
in a position to know. Miss
b urks has not been in either
Denver or Pueblo since the
W atson trial or for several
months prior to the incident
that brought her name into
such prominence before the
public.
DR.. Watson is in Pueblo
practicing his profession, that
of osteopathy having rooms on
the principal thoroughfare of
that city, a short distance from
Central block, where he had
his office prior to his fateful Wis
it in Missouri. From good au
thorlty it is learned that he is
enjoying good practice. He
occupies sleeping apartments
in the same building as his
Office and takes his meals at d
nearby cafe. He has many
friends in Pueblo, but he live:
a retired life, devoting thu
greater portion of his time tt
b usiness affairs. -Hanniba

Higher Education in Missouri.

The public school system of
Missouri from the grade schools
in the State University, has be-
come within recent years sec.
ond to none in the United
States. The development of
the lowers schools is known to
all and "the progress of the
University, at Column ia, within
the last few years has been
equally great. AS the State
Superintendent of Education,
now President of the Spring
field State Normal, said a short
time since, 1.-The University of
Missouri is the equal of the best
aud outranks all other Estate
universitiess.with the possible
exceptions of Michigan, Cali
lorna, and Wisconsin. There
is no longer reason why any
young man in Missouri ambi-
tious for a college education
should go 10 other states.
There are many reasons why he
should not go. One is this:
TIL ere is no better introduction
to thoseiwho are to be the fut.
ure leaders of Missouri than
through the University. AT the
University acquaintanceships
are formed with the best of the
future brain and intelligence of
the Commonwealth, the value
of which must be incalcuable.
The graduate of this institution
becomes a member of what is
soon to be the most powerful
body in the State, the alumni of
the University. The aid and
inspiration which all this means
is lost by him who goes outside
Missouri for his college train
ing.
