Sometimes Men I.
Are Curious

1t is habit with many men
most men, perhaps to tWlt their
women friends about their cur
iosity, averring that there is no
curiosity upon the face of the
earth like unto that Of a woman.
Indeed they have done this so
much and so often that a whole
lot of women have come to ac-
cept it as a truth, and to believe
that in fact curiosity is purely a
woman sweakness, and thatwhile
men may have it in some slight
degree, it appears only in a mild
form in their beings.
Now all discriminating philos-
ophers and students Of human
nature, most complicated and
most diverting of studies. know
that this is not thecase, and that
mans curiosity is as much great
er than woman's as womans viz
tues are superior to mans.
It is true that both sexes are
curious, since curiosity is a
human weakness and not thing
of sex. Indeed, arguments be
tween representatives of the
sexes as to the comparative mer-
it's and dement's OF men and
women are ever fruitless, since
each sex has graces ALI own,
in addition to sharing in common
a great many blemishes.
But curiosity is by no means
womans peculiar attribute. fanny
more than vanity is. Now per
haps it might be that women
have a greater portion of vanity
than men have, but they do not.
haveit all, by any means. In
the same way. there is a more
or less equable division of cur
iosity between the sexes, and
while it is admitted that opin-
ions differ on the subject, let
The Herald go on record as as
lcribing a greater portion Of 1t to
the men than it is willing to
blame upon the women. n
1t has been said that if you
cut an item out of the evening
paper, and put up a prstence Of
mystery about it, the women of
your house will make it their
most immediate duty to look up'
the missing item and find what
lit is about. So would the men,
Iif the women did the trick, and
they would not be above spend
ling a weeks wages to satisfy
1 their curiosity if it were neces
Sary.
Tt is true that in one ignoble
form of curiosity. that regard
ling the doings of others which
5Iare private matters, women have
rather more than their share,
hut again, men have much OF
4 this sort also. If women would
4 end eavor to eliminate malice
4 from this form of curiosity, and
mix with it a little more of the
1milk Of human Kindness. their
Populations for being curious
would not be SO onspicuous. and

lily in the sexes would appear in
Their true light. Tt is largely

IRRIGATION FUND

Boise, Idaho. June 25.-It has de-
termined to designate the meeting of
the national irrigation congress to be
held i'll Boise in September as the
"hu ndred million congress-. In 9th
or words, an agitation is then to be
started to secure a direct appropriation
of 500, 600, 600 from congress to sup
plement the reclamation fund.
This has been determined upon after
consultation With many of those VINO
are leaders in the work of the, cong
ress. The present fund is compare
lively small as compared with the
number of available projects. 1t is
swelled only By the land sales and by
the payment in ten year installments
by farmers of the cost of construction
works. The success attained is so
great ir felt the fund available for the
purpose should be expended so the
work of opening arid land as homes
TO: the people could be acc elerated.

PUBLIC DEBT GROWS.
Monthly Statement shows 9 X Millions
Increase in July.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The public debt
at the close of business July q, 1906, less
cash in the treasury, amounted to $973,-
$50 S01, which is an increase for the
month Of $9,421, ia This increase is
largely accounted for by the decrease in
the amount of cash on hand. The recent
issue Of Panama bonds does not appear
in the July statement. The debt is re-
capitulated as follows: Interest bearing
debt, 1896, 159, $50; debt on which interes.
has ceased since maturiss, Slips, 5S5;
debt bearing no interest, $685., 535, 067;
total, 81. 293, $40, T42 This amount does
not include 81. 048. S53, 1853 in certificates
and treasury notes outstanding which
are offset by an equal amount of cash
on hand. which is held for their redemp-
ton.
The cash in the treasury is classified
as follows: Gold reserve, 100 million
dollars; trust funds, $194S. S5s, 1853; gen
era1 fund, $685. 251, 754; in national bank
depositaries, $S4, 480,056; in Philippine
treasury, $5,177 ,552; total, $f,473, 703,231-
Against this there are demand liabili-
ties outstanding amounting to $1,159,-
799, 2s9. which leaves a cash balance on
hand Of 1919, 963.941
Government Revenues Fell Short.
The government receipts last month
were $52, 852 and the expenditures
s65. s13.721, leaving a deficit for the month
Of $13, 514 1863, as against a deficit on Au-
gust 1, 1906 of $13, S55, 663 One year ago,
however the serniannua1 settlement
note Of the Central Pacific Railroad COM
pany, amounting to $4,000 was paid
on the last day of July. so that it was
taken into the July account. The note
Of the company, amounting to $2s760, $50,
due August I, 1906, was not paid until
due, and therefore will be stated in the
August account. The actual deficit this
month, therefore. is $3,1O1, 424 less than
for July, 1905.
The receipts from the several sources
Of revenue are given as follows:
Customs, s26.17e.T44; increase, $780,
600.
Internal revenue, $22. 1O2, 2ss; in
crease, 81, o14.00o
Miscellaneous. s4,O1s, 1863; decrease, 81
575, 600.
The expenditures for the month were
81. $50 900 in excess Of those for July,
1905, largely due to work on the Pana-
ma canal.
Coinage in July.
The coinage executed at the mints OF
the United States last week amounted
to Sc, 175, 600 in gold and 1923, 164 IN silver.
These amounts, however, do not include
&c, 900 pesos nainted for the Philippine
government
The amount Of national bank notes
In circulation is 1851. 4s1, o45. an increase
for the past year Of $57, 500, $50 and an
increase in July of $36S.6s5.

ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Mr.. Hendry, of Nickerson, Discusses
Primary Law and Pass Question.


To the Editor of the State Journal:
There is a great deal being said
about q primary election law. Every
body, almost, favors such a law, but
no one seems to know just how that
law should be framed so as ito be an
Improvement over the delegate and
convention system. I don't, I am free
to admit But there must be a provi-
sion requiring a certain per cent OF
all of the votes cast to nominate a
candidate. To illustrate: Reno county
has 5000 voters Suppose there are
i've candidates for sheriff, as we had
in the Reno county convention. Under
a primary law as most people advo-
cate. one candidate could get 1901
votes, one 1888. and the other three
1900 apiece. The candidate with a
majority of one vote would be nOTni-
mated. Would such a nomination be
fair? Would It represent the ma
jority? How long would the people
stand for such a law
The L o. 0. F. elect their grand
officers by the past grands casting
their votes at home in the subordi-
nate lodges. But the officer elected
must have at least 40 per cent. of all
OF the votes cast. Sometimes there
are ten or a dozen candidates and no
one receiving 30 per cent. of all votes
cast there Is no election until the
grand lodge meets. When that body
proceeds to elect in the usual man
ner the candidate must receive q ma
jority of all votes cast. The primary
law ought to require that not less than
10 per cent. Of the votes cast to make
a nomination.
A word on the pass business. There
is no law to prevent passes being
given by the railroads, and no law to
prevent people from accepting them.
The man who receives a pass from a,
railroad and does not use it IS a fool.
and the man who uses pass and
allows it to control his vote or his
opinion is a knave. do not believe
that the vote OF one man IN ten is
controlled by a railroad pass. How
many officers. county, state or nu-
tionaI. are controlled by a pass2 It
Is fact that nearly all laws passed
i to prevent determinations by common
carriers have been advocated and
/ passed by men who have been ben
effted by the very Determinations that
i they oppose. They saw the injustice

BOY STOLE BABY LIONS.
Tucked Two Under His Blouse at
Boston Animal kindergarten.

Boston. Aug. 2.-The. mystery sur
rounding the theft of two baby lions
from the kindergarten at Paragon
park was cleared away when a mem
Der of the summer colony at Point
Allerton called at Paragon park and
confessed that his 12-year-oId son,
who had become imbued with the idea
that lie must become a lion tamer,
had stolen the animals and kept
them unknown to his parents in a
shed. When one of the lions died, as
result of being overfed, he con-
fessed his theft to his mother.
The father offered to reimburse the
kindergarten for any reasonable
amount on condition that his son
should not be prosecuted. He paid
SITS.
At the kindergarten a baby leopard.
two baby lions, two daehshunds, two
rabbits a baby bear and monkey
were placed on a low table and the
children are allowed to play with
them Two weeks ago the lad from
Point Allerton paid visit TO the park.
He played with the pets for hours.
and when the attendant was out or
sight slipped the two baby lions under
his blouse and started for home.
