MiIIie's Dream of Papa.

Willie (very seriously)-"Papa, l
had a strange dream this morning"
Papa-"Indeed! What was it?'
Willie-T dreamed, papa, that l
died and went TO heaven and when
st. Peter met me at the gate, instead
of showing me the way to the golden
street, as | expected, he took me out
into a large field, and in the middle
of the field there was a ladder reach
ing away up into the sky and out of
sight. Then St. Peter told me that
heaven was at the top and that in
order to get there | must take the big
piece of chalk he gave me and slowly
climb the ladder, writing on each rung
some sin | had committed"
Papa Qaying down his newspaper
And did you finally reach heaven,
my SOM"
Willie-"No, papa; for just as ! was
trying to think of something to write
on the second rung l looked up and
saw you coming down"
Papa-"And what was coming
down for?'
Willie-"That's what I asked you,
and you told me you were coming for
more chalk. Magazine of

A shining bead of brown each eye.

gun. The report is the result of months
of patient study. 1t shows where the me-
thods of the department are at fault and
points out some Of the remedies. 1t also
recommends the transfer of acreage re-
ports to the census bureau. This last is
a matter that will have to be dealt with
by congress, since the making of the re-
ports by the agricultural department is
fixed by law. The secretary of agricul-
ture SAYS that some of the changes and
improvements in method that have been
suggested by the commission have al.
ready been put in force. The secretary s
contention is that the work of the de-
partment, since the reorganization OF
the bureau of statistics, has been ac-
curate and satisfactory. He says he is
willing to make improvements if they
are pointed out to him, but leaves the
inference that he has not found any such
suggestions in the commissions report

Secretary Root did not lose the OPP
portunity to unburden himself of few
thoughts in regard to China, too. He
said that it was arrant nonsense to send
commission to China to study the ex-
listing conditions. Said he: "If you gentle
men want to come up to the state depart
ment we can bury you so deep in Chinese
reports, that you won't dig out for week.
They are reports, too, made by the con-
suls in China and by men who have had
almost lifelong acquaintance with China
and the Chinese language and customs.
What we want is not more information,
but more action. The Chinese exclusion
law is wrong in principle and has been
unjustly administered The president
has attended to the administration end
of it and there will henceforth be much
less to complain of in that line But the
law itself is wrong. We do not want to
let China coolies into this country, but
we want a law that will keep them out
and will not at the same time work as an
insult to the respectable Chinese mer-
chants, business men and students who
come over here. That is a matter that
congress will have to deal with. We want
the law Justly and humanely administer
ed, but we want new law at the same
time"

WASHINGTON Letter.
From our own correspondent.

From own correspondent
Secretary Root, while appearing before
he appropriations committee of the house
this week, took occasion to say a few time
~ words on the consular system. He
pointed out facts that ought TO be per-
fectly we'll known to congress at large,
but which. considering the way that the
consular bill has been emasculated 10
the senate, would seem either to be un-
pleasant truths to which congress would
rather shut its eyes or else facts in which
they do not believe. Here are some OF
the things that Secretary Root said:
"The American consulates in many places
are in bad shape. Congress knows the
conditions and the reasons as well as any
one. The consular service has been from
long custom made the stronghold OF the
spoils system and has been used as a
berth into which to shove any eminently
respectable citizen who had outlived his
usefulness elsewhere and who needed to
be taken care of. The object of the con-
sular service and consular salaries seems
to have been to pay political debts and
not to put live Americans abroad to fos-
ter American trade. Important clerk
ships in foreign consulates have too often
been held by natives of the countries to
which the consuls were accredited and
not by Americans, this to the detriment
of American trade. The provisions of
the consular reform bill for the examina-
ton of young men and promotions BASED
on seniority aud ability have been stricken
out by the senate, aud while some provi
sions of Importance have been left in, it
is question whether even the amended
bill will pass

supposed to be Sais and Valies, to assist
them. After procuring supplies at Noun
tainair, the party went west into the
mountains IN the northern part of Socorro
county. On Saturday about noon the
water gave out and the Mexicans told
them they could get more on the hill near
camp. Together the four men started on
horseback, leaving the woman in camp.
The broncho which Nc was riding would
not carry the gun, so it was given to one
of the Mexicans. Billnslea also had Civ

Mexican. A short ways from camp, Mrs.
Bilinslea heard several shots, but thought
nothing out of the way, as she supposed
they had probably met some game.

turned yet When told they had not,
they replied that they would probably be
in soon. After eating dinner, the two
left the camb, taking with them the
horses. Mrs. Biiinslea was not suspicious
until the men did not return on ounday,so
on Monday, she started out to find some
one to help her. After walking several
miles she came to the town of Sais, where
she procured aid. She swore out war
rant, charging the men with the theft of
the horses. A searching parting was or
ganized and the bodies were soon found,
that of Mclaughlin with a bullet wound
through the head, ana Billinslea with two
wounds through the shoulder and the
head.
The murdererS were captured and tax.

grand jury. 1t is said that they both con-

the other.
They gave as their motive that they in

the horses and guns, and becoming
frightened they let the horses 90. The
rifle was found at the home of Sais, an

RepubIicans A-Hunting Money.

ST. Louis Republic: Chairman Med
ringhaus has gone up to Washington
TO tell Chairman Cortelyou all about
those $4,000 nonvoting republicans that
have been hiding out in the Missouri
brush Before allowing himself to be
hypnotized into producing the dough
to persuade them 10 the polls, Chair
man CorteIyou would do well to require
of Chairman Niedringhaus complete
roster showing their names. vocations
and dwelling places.
Chairman NiCdringhaus mission to
Washington is to convince Chairman
CortelyOu that he can carry Missouri
for the republicans this year by a
''whirlwind campaign with money and
TO get the money out of the republican
national committees strong box.
The hope OF contributions from this
source is the only visible cause for
Chairman Niedringhaus' bubbling en-
thusiasm. There is nothing else in
Missouri to make Missouri republicans
feel that il would be worth while TO go
to the polls this year at all.
They did not carry the state in 1904.
They got il as free gift from the stay
at-home democrats. They will not get
it that way again. Their party is di-
vided by bitter feud. and the record
of their delegation in congress is a
story of betrayal of the constituents
who sent them TO Washington. MI.
Niedringhaus can give no valid assur-
ances of success to Chairman COrtei-
you.
And yet. practical politicians have
their weak side of gullibility. The in
surance scandals have cut off some OF
Mr. CoTtelyou's sources of revenue and
he will need all the money he can
scrape together for use in the effort
to stem the tide of republican disaffec-
ton in Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and the
northwest. But all that region being
doubtful. it is not unlikely that Mr..
Niedringhaus may convince Mr.. Cor
telyou Of the desiTability of putting up
handsomely for d rainbow-chasing cam
paigu in Missouri.
Niedringhaus and Cortelyou would
rejoice greatly if they could conquer
Missouri this year with money. They
cant do it. and Missouri democrats
will not forget that they are apt to

Minis followers demanding the reason
for this sudden invasion of Iowa under
something more than mere passive
consent from the chief executive. Last
night at Chicago Secretary Shaw de-
MED that the recent opinions expressed
by Chancellor Day had anything TO do
with his trip west, but failed TO give
an entirely satisfactory reason for his
course He admitted that his accept
ance of the invitation to address the
graduating class at Syracuse had been
given before the chancellor of the insti-
tuition had shown such conservative
tendencies At Syracuse last night
Chancellor Day declared he had not
the slightest reason to entertain the
belief that his own recent criticism or
the campaign against the oil trust I'M
dertaken by President Roosevelt. was
in the remotest way connected with
Secretary Shaw's snub.
