is recognized as an evil; and no

this than the man who is engag-

of certain town in India found that
they We're being seriously damaged
by rats. He wrote to the government
to provide him weekly rations for two
cats to destroy the rats. The request
was granted, and the two cats were
installed-one, the larger of the two
receiving slightly better rations than
the other. All went well for a few
weeks. when the supreme government
of India received the following dis
patch: 81 have the honor to inform
you that the senior cat is absent with
out leave. What shall | do?"
This problem seemed to BATTLE the

ceived no answer. After waiting Il

mote the junior cat and in the mean
time to take into government service

WHERE WOMAN ALWAYS RULES

one of the most interesting of the
rulers who greeted the prince and
princess of Wales on their arrival in
India was the begun of Bhopal, for 1t
seems at first sight a curious incon-
gruity that a Mohammedan state
should be ruled by a woman.
Bhopal is the only state in the world
where the ruler must always be a
woman, and the present begun has
done a great deal to vindicate the
principle as one of practical advantage
In former days the husbands of the
begums occupied most curiously un-
important position in the state, AMI
We're freely changed as the fancy OF
the ruler or the supposed necessities
of her politics happened to require

HER mo" COST HIM $4,000. 200.

The Goldfield country tells a story
of how woman's mo" cost Charles
NJ. Schwab s4,00O,00O and made her
husband that much wealthier. The
woman who said it is the wife OF
Robert Montgomery, a mining expert
and prospector, who had had his ups
and downs in search for yellow metal
and finally came into possession of
mine in Tonopah region of Nevada.
Charles NJ. Schwab became interest
ed in gold mining companies and be-
came convinced that Nevada had
bright future. In taking a survey of
the mineral resources of the state he
encountered Bob" Montgomery, a
plain-Spoken man, and the Montgom-
cry Shoshone mine. 'I offered him a
million for it about two years ago."
said Mr.. Schwab, in speaking of the
transaction, "and he was about to
take it. In fact, | considered the deal
closed. He went to San Francisco,
and the first thing I knew Mrs Mont
gomery had persuaded him to with
draw from the negotiations. Nothing
more was heard of the matter for
nearly year, and made another trip
out there. I again negotiated for the
property. Mrs. Montgomery kept on
saying no. ana finally I acquired the
property on a basis of $4,000, 900. Her
no cost me s4,0O0,OOO."
Mr.. and Mrs. Montgomery are Iiv-
ing at the st. Francis hotel i'm San
Francisco, and Mrs. Montgomery has
told an interviewer that they are not
planning any mining camp splurge
with their money. Her husband has
always had money enough to give
them some luXuries, she says, and
the millions they will get from the
mining deal will not make great
deal of difference in their mode of
! livihg.-Chicago Tribune.

DROPPED FROM THE ROLLS,

The Memphis News-Scimitar re-
views the list of congressman who
have been dropped from the rolls
during the present session. The re-
view is interesting to oregon since
Oregon has lost its two members of
the house. The News-Scimitar says:
Ordered stricken from the rolls by
Speaker Cannon, the name of NJ. R.
Patterson, Representative" from the
Tenth district of Tennessee, no longer
clogs the membership list in the
house.
The clerk has called the name of
Representative Patterson many times
since congress assembled. The name
has been called when democrats and
southerners needed every vote which
might be mustered, when no member
who might be reached by messenger
or telegraph was permitted to remain
away
But no response came to that name
when the roll was called. The Hon.
Mr.. Patterson was too busy" in Ten
nessee to attend to his duties in con-
gress duties which he had sworn to
obey when he begged the people of
the Tenth district to elect him.
+ 1t is evident that the house did not
consider seriously Mr.. Patterson's
/ statement last Sunday that he would
go to congress and take up his duties
/ which had been neglected during his
campaign. Mr.. Patterson must have
! received an inking of what was being
/ said In Washington, for his determin-
alton to visit the capitol was sud
den one. But it came too late.
Attention has been called repeated
Is to the fact that Malcolm r. Pat
terson, member of congress from the
Tenth district of Tennessee, elected by
the people to serve as their represen-
tative and protect their interests, had
been recreant to his trust that he
had not visited Washington since the
beginning of his term even to be
! sworn in, that he might possibly paii
. his vote with some republican mem
ber and thus avoid the loss of his
vote; that he had been campaigning
all over the state, assailing the prin'
ciples of the democratic party and
attempting to create the most serious
factional rupture in the history OF
( Tennessee democracy.
John n. Williamson, a republican
! member from Oregon, who had also
failed to present himself in the ses-
+ sions of congress, was also dropped.
Mr.. Patterson did not fail to draw
q his salary for the work he did not do
He presented his claim for the $4,000
year which a congressman is enti'
tied to draw for services rendered
/ and received it. He has not yet draw
. the mileage which members receive
/ because of the rule providing thai
| no mileage shall be paid until after
| the member has been sworn in. And
Mr. Patterson was too busy in Ten
nessee to go to Washington even tc
take the oath Of office.

MORE INDEPENDENT BENCH.

The growing sentiment in oregon
for mixed political complexion in
the supreme court causes the Salem
Journal to discuss the subject in the
following manner:
Would not the Oregon supreme
bench be more Independent with one
democrat on it?
George w. Alger, who has won
himself a place as one of the keenest
critics of our American social and
economic life, has notable paper in
the April Atlantic on Criminal Law
Reform. Considering the delays and
Illustrations in criminal proceedings
which have been so fruitful a source
of lynchings and other wrongs in
America, he points out that the chef
causes of the delay and defeat of
justice is the growing restriction
placed upon the bench.
American judges. he says have
much less independence of action
than those of other countries, and
that which they have is constantly
growing less. This is one of the most
serious questions of the time. and Mr..
Alger's discussion of it merits the at
tention of all thoughtfuI readers.
"One of the great issues of the
Oregon campaign is whether Judge
HALEY democratic judge, shall be
elected to succeed himself.
The Oregon supreme court has in
the past been solidly republican, and
by the promotion of Wolverton to the
federal bench, Governor Chamberlain
appointed a democrat
The East Oregonian believes that
Justice HALEY should be elected to
succeed himself. Particularly so,
since he has been on the state su-
preme bench and is now familiar
with the work Of the court and is in
perfect harmony with his colleagues,
who respect him most highly.
Justice HALEY. is not extensively
partizan. Neither are Justices Moore
or Bean, and such a court. balanced
from a political standpoint and COM
ing from different sections of the
state should be capable of giving Or
egon an excellent administration of
justice.
Justice HALEY is an eastern oregon
boy, having been born in La Grande
when that town was but a village be-
side the HALEY stage road stretching
across eastern Oregon and Idaho,
from Umatilla Landing to Boise
It would be an especially graceful
compliment to return him to the su-
preme bench at the coming election.

CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.

This paper notes with deep regret
that number of persons are dying
from the bite of rattesnakes i'm diff
ferent sections Of Texas. Most all
cases are young children, and in a
good many instances they are bitten
on the hand or foot.
In such cases the following remedy
is said to be a splendid antidote for
the rattler's bite, provided 1t Is used
Immediately after being bitten: Take
a pan or bowl and pour enough kero-
sene oil to cover the wound. 1t will
draw the poison out Immediately and
in the course of a few minutes turn
perfectly green; then pour out the oil
and refill the bowl being careful to
put in enough oil to completely cover
the wound.
Leave the foot or hand in the oil
as long as the oil turns green. Then
put on a poultice of plain table salt
and saturate thoroughly with oil.
Keep this up for about an hour and
there Is scarcely any danger of fatal
results.-Merkel (Texas) Mail.

One clerk, speaking to a representa-
tive of the Lincoln (Neb.) News, says
that the quantity of mail mas doubled
and even trebled since the govern
ment ordered the weighing several
weeks ago. This clerk added:
1T beats all previous records for
this season of the year There is such
a mountainous pile of circulars and

it has become a stiff proposition for
the postal clerk to handle his run

medicines, machinery, so-called health
foods, garden seeds from the agricul-
tural department at Washington, by

Children, do you ever,
In walks by land or sea,
Meet little maiden,
Long time lost to me?
She is gay and gladstone,
Has a laughing face,
And heart as sunny.
And her name is Grace.
Naught she knows of sorrow,
Naught of doubt or blight;
Heaven is just above her
All her thoughts are white.
Long time since l lost her,
That other me of mine:
She crossed into Times shadow
out of Youths sunshine.
Now the darkness keeps her,
And, call as I will.

Hide her from me still.

And lonely as can be
oh, children, If you meet her,
Send back my other me!
