by the Democratic administra-
tion for passing their fees and
salaries. Was it consideration
for the taxpayer? Don't you
believe it. That piece of gener-
Osity on their part was to protect
said fees and salaries from the
pro rata rule as provided in that
Democratic statute known as the
Bateman Law, until the excess
on the bond sale, premium and
interest sold with the bonds
could be gathered into the cur
rent expense fund when fees and
salaries were paid in full.

and call your attention to the
unfairness of those figures,
remembering all the time the
Democrats spent all they had of
these funds and that the Repub-
licans have 1890 on hand. The
comparison is made with an av-
erage of all the four years of
Democratic administration for
one and one-half years, against
the actual amount collected for
the one and one-half years of the
last Republican administration.
Supposing this comparison had
been made on all the three and
one-half years the Republicans
were in as to three and one-half
years of Democratic administra-
tion, and you should add to the
taxes collected and spent by the
Democrats, something like $4,000
or over received by them for ex-
cess in bond sale, interest sold
and premiums on bonds, all
turned into the current expense
fund, you would have an aver
age highly favorable to the Re-

And when II comes to legislation,
getting appropriations OF land and
money from congress for blind Institutes,
asylumns, colleges and courts, a dele.
gate needs lot of wisdom and influence
to back up his demands and claims, in
the general scramble. Having no vote
he can not trade support for support,
as to an individual vote. If he be of
the minority party he would as well go
into retirement. There is never money
enough to go around and the majority
never get their demands supplied while
a Voteless minority territorial delegate
gets nil for his people.
Hon. W. II. Andrews, by reason Of
the support Of two senators and "a rep
resentatives among old political allies
in his home state OF Pennsylvania gets
a matter taken up in either house or
before any committee. Witness the
100000 appropriation for postofiice
at Albuquerque. He knows how to do
things political and in business. And
he has solid backing in the Pennsyl-
vania delegation that secures other sup
port.
How many votes of the majority party
could Mr. Larrazolo secure? How
would political orphan from New
Mexico command attention In the de.
partments where all the congressman

His Patriotic Appetite.

Adolph was devouring something,
if not with relish, at least with ear
nestness. From time to time he
would saw away with a knife at
something under the counter and
convey small particle to his mouth.
TRY it," he said to the customer
who entered, holding forth what APP
peared to be slice of smoked beef.
1t was ham. Furthermore, it was
tough ham and was salty enough to
take the skin off the tongue. 1t was
not particularly palatable, either, as
the customer was compelled to re-
mark after an Intellectual attempt to
masticate it.

can't buy it here. An old lady just

LOVE AND PERSONALITY.
One Explanation of Why the American
People Are Beautiful.


Personality is always mystery
with its antithetically mingled ele-
ments in man and woman. Women
have loved wrongly and knowa it,
were perfectly aware of it-they
only know also that they were help
less to avoid it. The desire of their
lives has been gratifed, something
has happened.
What was there about George
Sand, save perhaps pretty good eyes,
to-send such men as Alfred de Mus
set and Friedrich Chopin absolutely
crazy? Nothing interesting about
her-even her unattraetiveness en-
HANGED by her constant smoking.
Yet she could inspire the "Pre-
lude," which Chopin composed on
seeing her approach in garden in
Minorca-the greatest piece of mu-
sic ever compressed into a single
page.
Goethe's Gretchen, the little
bourgeoise, without apparent at
Effectiveness, yet inspiring his nigh
ty genius-what is this mystery of
man and woman? The beauty of
nations differs very much. The
Latins are less beautiful than the
Anglo-Saxons. The angularity of
the north German woman is notori-
ous-an uncharming person. Why?
1t has nothing whatever to do with
race. The growth Of the Hanseatic
cities brought great wealth in north
Germany. Money bags married mon
cy bags. The result was a people of
severely plain aspect. There are
not many money bags in America,
although there are many money
bags in the hands of the few.
The Americans are a beautiful
race. The American is insulted if
mention Of dowry is made in his
wedding arrangements. He marries
because he loves the woman and she
him; hence the American people
have become exceedingly beautiful.
Then the facilities for divorce pre-
sentcd in the United States are an
important factor in the beautifca-
ton process. Love is really at the
bottom of it all-not money bags or
race, but love.
The French are always talking
about 'Pamour, Pamourw But
really there is no ''amour" there at
all-people generally talk most
about what they haven't got or don't
know. Yes, indeed, so rare is
"Pamour" in France that it accounts
for the decline in facial beauty of
the Frenchwoman = not in move
ment, for in movement she excels
the world, but in face. Rome and
Greece were ruined by treating mar
riage as matter of. business.-Dr.

Mexican Water lars

The Mexicans do not use ice, but
nevertheless there is no country
where a man can get glass of cool,
sweet water quicker than in Mexico.
The water jars are made of porous
pottery which allows the water to
ooze through the material of the
tanks, and the evaporation keeps it
always cool. 1t is not cold, like our
ice water, but it is all the better on
that account, as man can drink
twice as much and never feel in the
least injured, no matter how large
his drafts. Australian ranchmen
frequently put water into skin bot
ties which they suspend from the
veranda, and the air swaying the
skins back and forth cools the wa
ter and renders it more palatablcs

The Snow Plant.

The snow plant, which blooms a
vivid crimson in California, is a
parasite on the roots of the pine
tree and is obtained by digging
little way into the soil after the
snow has melted. The flower is in
size and structure much like that Of
a medium sized pineapple and loses
its beauty Immediately after re-
moval from the sod. A great varie-
ty Of pine trees as well as those of
the cedar, madrone and manzanita
are found in California forests, and
there are to be seen the strange
tree tendrils of the white pine,
which project along the body of the
tree from its base to its topmost
branches, assuming diverse and fan
tastic forms and clothed with a
brilliant golden moss. These tree
tendrils remind one in every partic-
ular, save that of their gigantic size,
of coral formations and seem APPLY
to deserve the name of moss coral
as they droop their brilliant armlets
toward the earth, apparently recog-
nizing an affinity with the coral ere
ations of the deep. - Philadelphia

FOOTBALL IN CHINA.
The Ganne Was PIaysd There Before
the Christian Era.

Writing in the Nineteenth Cen
tury on Football AMI Polo In Chi
ma" Professor Giles asserts that the
game Of football at least was known
during tie Han dynasty before the
beginning Of the Christian era and
was even then an imperial. favorite
and an object of censure.
The Emperor Ch'eng III was fond
of football, but his officers repre-
scented to him that it was both phys
ically exhausting and also unsuita
bic to the imperial dignity, His
majesty replied, eve like playing,
and what one chooses to do is not
exhausting" An appeal was then
made to the empress, who suggested
the game of tiddlywinks for the en-
peFors amusement.
The ball as originally used by the
Chinese was a round leather bag
stuffed with hair. Bamboo poles
were erected, and it was the aim of
the contending sides to kick the
ball over a net stretched on these
poles. Some of the stories taken
by Professor Giles from the old his
torians are not without application
today. Thus of a Taoist priest of
the sixteenth century, who was u
good player, we read: "Hc used
shoulders, back, brea and belly to
take the place Of his feet. He could
withstand several anita ~onists, max
ing the ball run around his body
without dropping" And of Ger
tain game played before a certain
emperor on his birthday it is said
that the winners "wcrc rewarded
with flowers, fruit, wine and even
silver bowls and brocades. The cap
tain Of the losing side was logged
and suffered other indignities."

Animals That Weep.

Monkeys and elephants show deep
emotion by weeping. Rengger says
he has often seen the eyes of small
South African monkey fill with tears
when he was deprived of some covet-
ed object or made very much afraid
of something. Darwin cites a case
of monkey from Borpeo in a ZOO
logical garden which was frequently
moved to tears when grieved or
pitied. During an elephant hunt in
Ceylon one of the spectators relates
that many Of the elephants when
bound showed no feeling except
grief and remained perfectly mo-
tionless while the tears streamed
from their eyes. Female elephants
are often affected in the same way
when their young are taken from
them.

Jules Simon's PARTRIDGE.

When Jules Simon was ten years
old he found small red partridge
dying in the snow. He took the bird
home and warmed it into life. One
of its legs had been broken, and ST.
mon, seeing that the fracture was
too bad for setting, amputated the
leg with his pocketknifc and re-
placed 1t with a wooden one. Two
days later the partridge was as hap
Ply as possible, and the tick tack,
tick tack of its wooden stump was
to be heard all over the house. 1t
became an inseparable companion
of young jules Simon, who named
it Cornelia, and it followed him
about wherever he went with the
persistence of the little lamb. But
one afternoon CorneGa was caught
IN a hailstorm and killed by the
stones before Jules Simon could 90
TO her help. And Jules Simon never
ate partridge from that day to his
death. A partridge always reminded
him of Cornelia.-St. James Ga

EARNED The REWARD.
When Ramsay, the Poet, Proved Eouas
10 the Occasion.

When Allan Ramsay, the poet.
was still an obscure young man and
wigmaker he once fell behind with
his rent, and, as i'll luck would have
it, he came plump upon the laird on
the very day when he least wished
to see him. The dreadful subject of
"the rent" came Immediately on the
carpet, and Ramsay, with shame and
grief, confessed his inability to sat-
isfy his creditor.
To his great relief, however, the
laird expressed perfect Indifference
about the matter, for, having OBJ
served Ramsay's genius, he was UNI
willing to distress him for so paltry
sum, which he could so easily af-
ford to remit. He even went the
length of saying that if Ramsay in
as many minutes could give him a
rhyming answer to four questions
which he would ask he would quit
him of his rent altogether as a re-
ward for so much quickness of mind.
Allan professed his willingness to
try, and watch being laid upon the
table the laird propounded his ques-
lions, which were: ''What does God
love? What does the devil love?
What does the world love? What
do / love?"
The poet within the specified
time gave the proper answer, as fol-
lows:
God loves man when he refrains from sin;
The devil loves man when he persists
therein;
The world loves man when riches on him
flow,
And you'd love me could l pay what 1
owe.
