Lnion & Planters Bank & Trust Co.,
of Memphis. On the very face of this
warrant is written for maintenance
OF Governors mansion l year."
Thus the official records show that
this warrant on its very face was from
the annual appropriation for main
tenance, was for the whole amount
and that the governor deposited this
warrant with his Memphis bankers.
But we have not yet done with the
American. That paper says that the
Legislature appropriated $4,000 to
buy and furnish Gubernatorial mans
sion. The house purchased cost $751;
500, leaving $4,000 to be expended for
furnishing. 4 x Gov. Patterson
drew this latter amount as authorized
and as was contemplated for the pur-
pose for which it was appropriated.
This explanation is a pure fabrica-
ton. Here are the facts as they ap-
pear from these same records:
The cost of the mansion was $31 900
not $31, 500-for which warrant No
81, 1882 was issued to John M. Gray, Jr. |
This left $4,000 balance to be expended |
for furnishings, and out of this sum
warrant No. 3S,373 was issued, July |
24th--the very day of the issuance of
the $500 warrant-to Jno. M. Gray, |
Jr., for furniture as follows:
To parlOr furniture, carpets,
ETC., for Governors mansion. 81 500
Andiron and gas log in parlor... 40
Andirons, ETC., in library. $500. As
Dining room furniture. ........ $50 |
IoLal ................... $2,Oo5
Thus on the day that Gov. ~Patter-
son drew his warrant for $500 there
was left only $1,965O0 of the appro-
priation for furnishing, from which
the American pretends that $500 was
taken! A very small of knowledge OF
arithmetic ought to have taught the
American that you can't take $500
out of a fund of less than 100000.
The records, therefore, show that
he Americans statement is both I'M
rue and impossible.
Thus, then, stands the case between
he Herald and the American:
/. The Heralds original statement
vas the exact truth, as shown by the
,fficial records.
2. The American knew that it was
he truth, for it had itself examined
he same records and published the
anne facts.
g. The American knew that the
Governors action was indefensible, or
t would not have tried to deceive the
ubuc with false explanation.
4. The American having mistated
he facts and abused the Herald will
ot now have the manliness to tell
he truth-nor is there paper in
that will.
q. About all that Is left of the
mericans statement is the epithet of
applied to the Herald.
that a "ninnyhammer" is
ne who tells the truth and gets
bused for 1t by rattle-brained and
lendacious newspaper, we have no
uarrel with this appellation.

But No Other Nation Can
Take Their Place.

Washington.-The Lapps are de-
creasing in number. The most san
guine estimate OF the numbers of the
entire race in Norway, Sweden and
Russia does not place them above 54,-
600. BY some the number is placed
far lower on the strength of trust

since, a certain number of Lapp fam
lilies have abandoned their wandering
habits, have built habitations here
and there. and have endeavored. with
more or less success. to initiate the
life of the Swedish settler.
That the race must die out eventu-
ally is certain, and its diminution may
be very speedy, though its complete
extinction may be still far off, since
there is no race that can possibly take
its place on the high reindeer fjaell.
Yet even here we come upon factor
which has, perhaps, hardly been reck-
oned with. We mean the decrease OF
the herds OF tame reindeer.
This has been going on in the last
quarter Of a century with striking
rapidity. In one district alone in the
last II years the reindeer have dimin-
ished from an estimated 10000 to an
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1907-10-03

estimated 1000 This decrease is ex-
planned variously. The commonest and
most plausible explanation which car
ries the authority of mon we'll quail
fed to judge, is that the demand for
reindeer flesh, which has been brought
nearer to the Lapp by the opening of
the Bohemian railway, has tempted
them to part with the deer at a rate
too rapid for their production.
The herds of reindeer, which are
taken off the high fjaell down to their
winter quarters, are now within four
or FIVE days OF Stockholm. and there
is good demand for reindeer flesh. II
is said that the Lapp, who is no more
able to resist strong drink than any
other half-civilized man. is piled free
ly with brandy. and in that state viii
part with his reindeer for a trifing
sum, or even for a fresh bottle of spir-
its or two And he goes back to his
fjaell stripped of half his herd. and
with nothing to show for it.
But there is another cause also al
legged. and that by equally good au-
thorities. II is said that Swedish state
education is having upon the Lapp the
effect which not uncommonly follows
the early stages of learning. Every au-
tumn Swedes and Lapps alike send
down their children TO the nearest ma
tional school, where they remain for
the winter months. the I.apps in most
cases having "seminaries" to them
selves. And ii is declared that in the

Women Who Wear Wen.

10 Is astonishing how great a change q
few years OF married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron Is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There arc two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rlage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.
