ESSAY ON THE VARIOUS
KINDS AND USES OF PANTS

Pants are made for men, and not
men for pants. Pants are like mo-
lasses-they are thinner in hot
weather and thicker in cold. The man
in the moon changes his pants during
the eclipse. Don't you go to the pantry
for pants, you might be mistaken. Men
are often mistaken in pants. Such
mistakes make breeches of promise.
There has been much discussion as
to whether pants is singular or plural.
Seems to US when men wear pants
they are plural, and when they don't
year pants it is singular. Men go on
a tear in pants and it's all right; but
when the pants go on tear it is all
wrong. g."-Exchange

which the senator was fined S1,OOO by
the Colorado supreme court on the
charge OF contempt. The action has
the practical effect OF affirming the
decision OF the Colorado courts.
The opinion in the case was deliv-
cred by Justice Holmes, who said in
effect that the court was without jur-
isdicuon. Justice Harlan dissented.
Justice Brewer also dissented from the
decision, holding that the court was
not without jurisdiction.
The proceeding against Patterson
grew out OF the Colorado supreme
court decisions in election cases fol-
lowing the acrimonious state CAM
paign of 1904.
The senator is the principal owner
OF the Denver News and Denver Times
both daily papers, an dthe contempt
proceedings was on account OF stric-
lures on these decisions published IN
the Two papers, in which the charge
was inferred to have been made thai
poration interests of the state. When
called upon to answer, Mr.. Patterson
pleaded the truth OF the allegations
made by the papers. The court there
upon promptly imposed fine of $1,000
on the charge OF contempt, with the
alternative oil paying or being impris-
oned.
Instead OF doing either, the senator
prevailed upon Justice Brewer TO issue
writ of error, bringing the case to
the federal supreme court, with the
result as announced, that he failed tC
secure release from the sentence.

The progress OF a new country cannot
be better asccrtaincd than by noting
the Increase of railroad mileage in Its
transportation system, and judged by
this standard. the Canadian West leads
all the countries In the world during

there was not one hundred miles oil

but by the end OF 1875 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was within measurable
distance OF completion, and lass year.
twenty years later. fully dUO miles ot
railroad trayersed the provinces or
Manitoba, Saskatchewan aud Alberta.
In the past year the work OF rrilroad
! construction has been vigorously prose
cuted. and by the end 81 1905. some
| 5000 miles OF completed railroad has
been added. making n total or fully
| 1000 miles In the three great grain
producing provinces OF Canada. Such

sum of SiOOOOo.OOO will be- put IN cir

good times 10 prevail In land where
work IL plentiful. wages ere high. and
the cost OF living is moderate.
| But the building OF lew railroads
through Western Canada means Il
greater benefit To the country than
merely the money put In circulation By
the cost OF construction. Additional
