many burrs on its tail that he called
the month November. Like all burrs
it stuck.
November's place in the calendar
was changed when Thanksgiving was
invented. The Romans debated this
in the Senate Some of the Senators
thought November should continue
the ninth month in the year. Tur-
keys, they pointed out, we're large
enough to eat, and there was enough
to be thankful for by that time in the
year to go right ahead with the fire.
works and escalloped oysters. Cicero
had been very silent all this time.
When the Senators who wanted to OBJ
serve Thanksgiving three months be-
fore Christmas had said all they had
to say, he arose and disposed of them
forever by simply saying: ''But cram
berries won't be ripe!"
The hills are painted red and gold,
The frost is boar and white,
The moon is sailing white and cold
Across the the skies of night;
The Fish and Hartman dispute
Will become a mortal strife;
Instead of proxy ballots,
They'll demand each others life.
So each will take of strychnine
A good and deadly lump,
And then they'll shake the dice to see
Which gets stomach pump.
The President has gone for game
and killed a lady bear, the days are
growing short and soft, and hazy is
the air; the country editors who once
had money in their tills, are selling
all their diamonds now to pay their
paper bills.
Sagittarius the archer is the zodia-
cal sign for November. His name is
from the Latin word sagitta, meaning
arrow, and is typical of the sudden
cold shooting into the earth and eaus-
ing the turnip to run for the cellar
like q whitehead. From the first to
the twenty-second of the month the
sun will be in the constellation of
Scorpio, which is Mr.. Bryan's unlucky
constellation, and will make it diff
cult to tell whether he is coming or
lgoing. From the 22d to the 3Oth, the
sun will be in The constellation of
Sagittarius, in which Mr.. Taft and
the White house are at aphelion, and
| he will look as if he would finish
about the fifth
| On the 18th the sun will rise with
the transit of Mercury on its disk.
For hours and 36 minutes the plan
ct will describe short chord on the
northern limb of the sun, causing
money to run to it's hole in Wall street
and Standard Oil to tell everything.
Mercury, which will be an evening
star during the first two weeks of the
month, will tire of lovers and buggy
riders on the 14th, and will be morn
ing star for the rest of the month. It
will cast enough light on key-holes
for sports to find them without using
funnel, and will look with contempt
into the chambers of mollycoddles
and milksops.
The girl who sued summer man
Where cool sea breezes course,
Will keep on suing-in the courts

The watered railroads will contrive
To have a few more wrecks,
And the press will print more lists

Ganderbone's Nov. Forecast
By Ganderbone.

Long we've waited for November
when the winds are swift and chill
when the frst-come SHOWS OF winter,
drift along the window sill; when the
hunter finds pneumonia waiting fol
him on the lake, and the pies we gel
resemble those that mother used to
make.
Everybody fond of mince pies
Dances nimbly, feeling good;
Now and then an old subscriber
Comes up with a load of wood.
Winters coming, and the bad boys
T. In the schoolroom sing and dance,
For the teacher cannot feaze them
When they wear their winter pants
November was the ninth month in
the old Roman calendar, and gets its
name from novem, meaning nine. The
Der, which should spell burr, was
added by Nimrod, the quail hunter
He had an Irish setter with which he
hunted in Novem, aud the dog got &C
many burrs on its tail that he called
the month November. Like all burrf
it stuck.

MODES OF THE MOMENT,

1t is the custom now to have lace
or other trimmings dyed to match the
color Of the gown.
The jetted gowns seen this season
are notably artistic, inasmuch as the
jet is used most artistically and never
overdone.
The very newest thing in the -7ay OF
dress is the separate bodice which con.
trasts with the skirt in material and
pattern and sometimes in color also.
Pony skin coats in all styles and
lengths bid fair to be more popular
this winter than was the case even
when they were first introduced some
two years back.
Women who are tall and have good
figures are even at their best in the
new coats falling eight or ten inches
below the hips. They are close fitting
and built upon rather severe lines.
For tailor mades and, indeed, for
many other sartorial purposes a color
which lends itself admirably to the re.
quirements of the season is rust" In
cloth and velvet it presents a warm,
rich effect.-New York Telegram.

FOR CENTRAL TAXING BODY
Proposition to Make Railroads Paw

Complaint has been general that
railways and other corporations have
escaped their just share of the taxes

proposed to create central taxing
body to sit at Olympia with the power
to appoint assessors to serve in the
various counties of the state
1t is expected that all such legisla-
ton will meet WIN violent opposition
from the railroad lobby as the rail-
ways have successfully avoided tax
alton under the present system The
fight on tax legislation will be part of
the battle between the railway and
anti-railway forces in the Legislature.

IS RICHEST OF NATIONS.
United States Has More Money Thar
Any Other Country.

United States Has More Money Than
Any Other Country.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-"The
United States is the wealthiest nation
in the world" said a close friend of
President Roosevelt yesterday, who
has just gone over a remarkable re-
port, which is soon to be made public.
He added:
In brief span of it's young life,
this infant nation has broken all rec
ords relating to the accumulation of
riches. We are beginning to think in
billions, instead of millions. Take it
any way you like, our influence out
strips anything ever known before.
Our country has more actual
money, more gold, larger volume of
exports, greater banking facilities,
richer farms, more productive mines,
more railroads, more internal COM
merce, more millionaires, more we'll to
do tradesmen, more Independent farm
ers, more highly paid laborers and a
greater distribution of luxuries than
any other has enjoyed since time be-
gan"
To say that the total valuation OF
the wealth of the United States is
$107 100000 is not understandable, as
hundred billion dollars is such a
pile of money that the mind simply
can not grasp its meaning on the in
slant.
Probably the best way of illustrating
the actual extent of Uncle Sans
riches is to state if he could turn
all the assets into money he coulu
have nearly four times as much as it
required to pay off the national debt
of all the world, including his own.
Last year there was more than $685.
900, 900 in excess of expenditures.

TO SECURE THE INTEREST
Plan Suggested Whereby State Funds
May be Placed in Depositories
Which Pay Fair Rate.

SPOKANE, Jan. 15.-To place the
public funds of this state in depOsi-
tories where tAey will draw interest,
and increase the revenues of the state,
is the plan proposed by c. NJ. Martin
dale, special agent of the Fidelity and
Deposit Co., of Maryland, who has
been in this city 1or some time.
Il have secured the assurance of W..
D. Scott, one of the senators from
Spokane county, that he will present
bill to the legislature providing for
the placing of the public funds in des-
ignated repositories where they will
draw interest," stated Mr.. Martin
dale. LAS it now is they draw no
interest whatsoever. and the funds
are placed in few favored banks. In
terest will in all probability be pro-
vided for in this bill at a rate of not
less than 2 per cent and as much
higher as the banks choose to bid.
There are several states in the
union now employing this system, Ida
no, being among the number, and it
is matter of record that the plan
has given complete satisfaction.
Such bill was passed by the lower
house at the last session of the legis-
lature of this state, but was defeated
in the senate.
Under this bnl any bank will be
allowed to bid which can furnish the
state, county or city with satisfactory
collateral, either in the form of sure
ty bonds, or negotiable securities,
which shall be j per cent in excess
of the amount of funds at any one
time on deposit. 1t will thus be read
lily seen that the public will not only
be benefited by the interest obtained,
but will also have the satisfaction of
knowing that no money can be lost
through the failure of any bank which
might have public funds on deposit"

National Officers to Gather in
Seattle Jan. IS.
-FOUR BIS ORDERS ARE REPRESENTED
MEETING TO BE PUBLIC DEMON.
STRATION OF VALUE OF THE
BROTHERHOODS.

To explain the objects of our -four
organizations of railroad employees in
the United States an open mass meet
ing will be held in the Arcade building,
Seattle, on January 10. The national
officers of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Firemen the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, and the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen will be present
be the largest gathering of railway
employees ever held on the Pacific
coast.
The meeting is to be an open one
and is for the purpose of making clear
to railway employees the benefits of
organization. The meeting is the first
of its kind to be held on the Pacific
coast. Governor Mead and Mayor
Moore of Seattle nave accepted invi-
tatiOns to speak.
Among the prominent officials of the
national organization who are listed
to speak at the meeting are Grand
Chief Stone of Cleveland, Ohio, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers;
j. Hanahan of Peoria, Ill, the chief Of
ficer of tne Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen; A. B. Garretson. of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, the grand chief of the
Order Of Railway Conductors, and P.
II. MOrrsey of Cleveland. Ohio. the
grand master of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen.
The state organization has spent
large sums of money in preparing for
the meeting, states a coast report.
Railroad engineers. tiremen, conductors
and tranmen not members Of the Or
ganiZatiOn throughout the west, have
singifiei their intention of being pres
ent. After the conclusion of the meet
ing a monster banquet will be held in
honor of the executive officers of the
four organizations and the invited
guests.
The institution conducted by the four
organizations at Highland Park. ILL.,,
known as the Brotherhood home, where
permanently disabled members are
supported free of charge for the rest
of their lives, will be one of the chief
topics of exposition. The four railway
organizations assert that they do not
advocate any closed shop proposition,
but simply wish to famiiarize the rail-
road men of the west with the objects
of the organizations.
The first meeting will be called to
order at $50 o'clock in the afternoon
of January 10. An evening session
will be held. After the close of the
evening session the banquet will be
neld
