Hurry, like a cyclone, wllirls

4 Tree That Gives Light.

Among the freaks of nature in tree
life there stands conspicuous one
known as the Asiatic star tree. 1t
is enormously tall, growing to a
height of from sixty to eighty feet.
while from the ground up a distance of
about forty feet the trunk is perfectly
bare. From that point there spring a
number of tangled limbs, which shoot
out clusters of long, pointed leaves,
and it 10 these, grouped together, that
emit at night a clear, phosphorescent
light. This gives the tree q spectral
appearance, and is very deceiving to
travellers, who frequently mistake the
glow for an illuminated window of a
house. The light is not brilliant, but
Is of sufficient strength to allow a
newspaper being read by it. 1t does
not flicker, but g!ows steadily from
sunset to daybreak.

Meanwhile, the agitation rolls

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Nearly all women are smart enough
to pretend that their husbands have all
the brains.
II 1t cost more money not to smoke
than to do it, it would be easier to
swear Off.
When q man is very thin, he Is sick:
but a woman isn't really healthy un.
less she is thin.
There is hardly anything as hard
as making a woman believe you love
her when she knows you really do.
The way to have a charmed life is
to be a rich relative Of a lot OF poor
kin who are waiting for you to die.
Babies are pretty good not to yell
more than they do when you consider
the language they have to submit to.
To see the cashier of her bank talk.

SOME CAMPAIGN SUGGESTIONS.

The near approach OF the season
when political candidates usually
make their presence known to the
voters, suggests these reflections to
Butte Inter.Mountaiu:
1t is Of no particular benefit TO a
politician to distribute candy at or.
phan asylum picnics.
Consistency is a pearl rarely thrown
before the people by the politicians;
lest the people turn and rend them,
perhaps.
Now that publicity concerning in.
dividual campaign expenses Is de-
mauded III many states, supecheated
atmosphere will be the chief commod'
ity expended.
The surest way to discourage vote
buying is to refuse to sell your OWE.
Rounded periods roll generously
from the mouths Of orators: but they
do not keep up wages. Nature en-
dowed you with brains to think 70,
yourself.
Don't pirate about direct Legislation
unless your own record for primar,
attendance is clean.
Political platforms, being theore,ic
al, sometimes approach perfection
the performance Of the most patriot,
politicians, being practical. Away
falls short Of perfection.
Some of the chaps who holler them
selves hoarse election night are easi!,
stumped by inquiry as to what thei
favorite candidates have stood 70

AN U'NWISE MEAT PACKER.

Not all OF the meat packers are as
san as J. Ogden Armour. Here is a
member Of the guild, Nelson Morris,
who makes az elaborate assault on
the president and congress for the re.
cent meat inspection act. He declares
that ''the Investigation of the packing
companies ordered by the government
will injure the country O than the
San Francisco fire. For the investi.
CATION he laid the blame OF the presi.
dent.
All Of this shows that Mr.. Morris is
far astray, says the Globe Democrat.
When Mr.. Armour returned from
Europe just after the adjournment OF
congress, he said that while the meat
exposures were injuring his business
for the moment, they would help it in
the end. Ia this he had sense on his
side. The exposures have attracted
the worlds attention, but they have
also led to exposures abroad, and
these have shown that the worst
abuses which have been revealed any
where in this country have their
counterparts in England, Germany,
Australia and the rest of the coun.
tries which have any meat packing on
a considerable scale. In the United
States the packing is on a far bigger
scale than in any other part OF the
world, We are in the habit here of
publishing the bad things about our.
selves a. we'll as the good. Other
countries keep silent about the defects
in their households, until. as in this
particularly exigency IN the meat
packing cases, public sentiment forces
revelations.
The meat inspection law will hell
and not harm the packers. 1t will
give q government guarantee to the
wholesomeness of all the American
meats which enter into interstate or
foreign commerce. Moreover this will
lead to examinations whereby states
aud municipalities will take q hand
in the work Of correcting and averting
all abuses in the meat packing and
food preparing interest. Mr.. Morris
overlooks the most important aspec,
of the woie affair. The other day

Ambassador Whitelaw Reid in Lon

SHIRT TAILS AND PROSPERITY.

Quite the most practical and at the
