How to Tell Generous Husband.

In some parts of Siberia bride
groom, on arriving home, commands
his wife to take off his boots. In one
is a whip, and in the other q purse.
The contents of the boot she first
selects for removal presage whether
he is to be generous or the reverse to
her. A very kind husband will put
a purse in each boot and omit the
whip, to make her Believe that her
choice is suspicious.

AS Miss Anna Montgomery was de-
scending the stone stairway Of the
Carnegie library in Beaver Falls, Pa,
she almost stepped on a copperhead

screamed and ran out into the street.
The snake was killed. It measured
over three feet. How it got on the
steps of public building in the most
frsquented part Of the town is q

to remove it by consuming snow. Yet

The Rise IN The RIVER.

From Harpers Weekly.
1t is little short of astonishing TO see
how little water is required to float the
southern river steamers, boat loaded
with perhaps a thousand bales Of cot
ton slipping along contentedly where a
boy could wade across the stream
Not long ago, however the Chattahoo-
chez got too low for even her light
draught commerce, and at Gunboat
Shoals a steamer grounded. AS the drink
ing water on board needed replenishing,
a deckhand was sent ashore with couple
of water buckets,
Just at this moment a northern trav-
eller approached the captain of the boat
and asked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there.
'Oh, just until that man gets back
with bucket OF water to pour into the
river the captain replied. Presently
the deck hand returned. and the stale
water from the cooler was emptied over
board. Instantly to the amazement of the
traveller, the boat began to move.
well. II that don't beat thunder
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as dam, and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream

Which Is Better?

Said an observant person:' u saw two
men loading a wagon with clay one
man used a long handle shovel and the
other a short handle one. Which of these
men has the best implement for the work
he is doing? The question was submit
ted to a group of colored men who stood
by, and some declared for the long handle
whilst others favored the short handle.
There were shovels of both patterns lying
around and the advocates of each pro-
ceeded to demonstrate and prove the
superiority of his claim The discussion
become very interesting but no decision
was arrived at, which goes to show that
experts differ in their opinions. However,
I'm satisfied that there must be, in the
amount of physical labor expended, somf
difference and upon which side the ad
vantage lies / would like to know.

Liberty in Russia.

The Emperor and the cabinet are
said to be indignant because the So
called fundamental laws" we're print
ed before the meeting of the douma.
These fundamentals constitute Rus
sias new constitution, and there
seems to be no reason why the Rus
sian people should not know what is
in store for them at the earliest pos
sible moment.
The chief trouble consists not so
much in the time of publication as
in the nature of the reservations of
the autocracy. These reservations
are serious enough, but perhaps the
most Objectionable clause relates to
the functions of the bureaucratic SEN
ate, which alone is authorized to pub
lish and to execute the laws passed by
parliament. Thus is established new
yc.o power, for what the senate does
rot publish and execute Is vetoed, and
the Emperor is relieved of the respon-
sibility. The entire senate feature
seems to be a plan to control parlia-
ment without bringing the emperor
into the business at all In other
words. the Emperor will thus do indi-
rectly what he dare not do directly.
But hampered as the new parlia-
ment will be by the fundamentals, it
will still be a parliament, and any
parliament will constitute a limitation
upon autocratic powers, and a mouth
piece of the people. II will grow as
the people may desire. 1t will not go
backwards, for it is the creature of an
undoubted revolution. 1t will go for.
ward, and if it be managed with tact
and prudence 1t will lead on to true
constitutional government, something
the fundamentals were devised to
avert.

Our National Disgrace.

Congressman Sulzer of New York
city presents in the course of a speech
table that gives the amounts ex-
pended by the national committees of
the two great parties in the three
last presidential campaigns. His
speech and table are printed in the
Congressional Record Mr.. Sulzer IS
man of high standing, and his fig
ures will stand as the truth at least
until they are refuted.
He says that in the campaigns of
1896, 1900 and 1904 the republican
committees expended $30,000,000, and
the democratic committees $2,625, 900,
making a total Of $32, 1925, 900 In three
campaigns, in which were cast. all
told, S9,S00,O00 votes. The average
expenditure was so cents a vote, but
the republican expenditure was near.
ly two dollars per vote, while the
democratic expenditure was less than
fifteen cents.
This expenditure of nearly $4,000
600 in three national campaigns says
the Wall Street Journal, constitutes
disgrace to American politics, and is
menace to republican Institutions
The expenditures by the democratic
committees are indefensible, while
the expenditures by the republican
committees were corrupt even to the
extent of the purchase of votes direct
Rotten as the three campaigns were
and straight as they were aimed
against popular government and in
favor of privilege, yet it has been de-
cided that not word concerning
them shall be given publicity. They
much of menace they are to the
people, or how much they will be du-
plicated unless publicity can be Sc
cured. No viler stab has ever been
made by Privilege at Liberty than
that summed up in the campaign con-
tributions, and yet the word has gone
out that they are to be kept close
secret.
The people will decide the subject
in 1908. 1t will be live wire then,
and no power on earth can squelch it.
Congressman Suffers figures stand
uncontested and unrefuted. They are
undoubtedly close to the truth.

This is no time to consider Hobson's

1t to his will, next hypnotize the Hon.
