Graft by the Cubic Foot.

In several rooms of the CapiotI at
Harrisburg is type of mahoe any
office table s feet long. wide, %

derson, the contractor, was $40 He
charged the state 1,472, a commits
sion of $3.50 per cent. Still more re-
markable are two rostrums, for which
50, 060 were paid the builder, and for
which the state paid Sanderson $780,
1880, commission of 4, 1895 per cent.
1t appears that all this furniture, and
much more, was bought by Sanderson
by the piece, but was sold to the state
"by the foot" at $1S 40 foot. If we
now take the dimensions of the ma
hogany table, which originally cost
$40, and compute its feet by multi
plying it's length by its width, and the
result by its height thus: 4 times is
30; 212 times 80 is 80, and then multi
ply $3.50 by so, we reach the sum of

The Platform of Ozark Horse"
The October American Magazine
contains character sketch of Gov
ernor John johnson of Minnesota,
Henry Waterson's "dark horse.'
Here is Mr.. Johnson's platform.
HE is in favor of state inheri-
lance tax. He is against passes. He
is in favor of an ex tension of state
control over electric railway lines and
over telephone companies. He in
clines toward municipal ownership.
In one of his best-known local
speeches he said, "Students of econ
omies have proved conclusively that
the service to the people is generally
better and cheaper when supplied by
the city direct than when supplied by
private individuals under char
tered or cooperative right, and
every city should think we'll before it
parts with these great privileges.
johnson is also in favor of an advis-
orysimitiative and referdum. And
he is still further in favor of submit
ting to the people of Minnesota a
constitutional amendment which will
give them the opportunity of saying
whether or not they want an inia
tive and referendum which will
| ma not only advisory but binding up
on the Legislature. He would allo W
the people by popular vote to give
| instructions to the Legislature and
afterwards by popular vote to confirm
or to veto the laws passed by the
Legislature. Certainly progress

Fall Planting.

The fall planting season Is now at
its height. There are very few things
which cannot be planted at this time
quite as we'll as in the spring, some
much better. Excepting in localities
where the winters are very severe or
in situations very much exposed,
trees, shrubs, and perennials may be
planted with perfect safety, gain of
practically year for the garden by
planting now instead of waiting until
spring.
Plant bulbs now. Scatter them
everywhere along the shrubbery Dor
ders where they will peep forth un-
expectedly in the spring instead of
looming up in beds of monstrous hor-
ror, great, stiff blotches of color, in
the midst of what ought to be an I'M
broken sweep of lawn.
Try naturaliZing crocus in the lawn,
and see if the effect is not more pleas .
ing than any bed of bulbs which you
have ever seen. Take basketful of
them and go out and fling them onto
the lawn with a wide sweep. Then
proceed to plant them where they
have fallen, and in the spring you
will have display of crocus growing
"wild." By the time the grass is
ready to cut, the flowers will be gone
and moving will not hurt them. Let
them alone; they will increase and
spread, aud do not need attention.

Remarkable Increase i'm
Savings Bank Deposits.
The Island Pond Herald,
in commenting on the re-
markable growth Of deposits
in the Hyde Park Savings
Bank, brings out several
good reasons for this growth.
It says:
special feature of this Institution is that
it gives local patrons tt reference, its loans
are in Vermont. Thus it has not only aG-
vanced public interest, but has done a safe
aud prosper US business since its Institution
eighteen years ago. The assets only last
week passed the million dollar mark and,
we repeat, not single ce at of it invested out
of Vermont In addition to this it has never
lost dollar by poor note. The progI essive
increase of deposits year after year has been
remarkable. This condition of things must
be satisfactory in the extreme to the ener-
getic president, who is ecognized as syno-
nym OF honest square dealing, who possesses
the practical qualities essential to success in
all mis- undertake gs and withal is a liberal
minded citizen, ever interested in village,
| town and state improvement. We write from
knowledge and personal observation.
This Bank pays 4 per cent
compounded semi-annually on
deposits of 800 or more re-
naming in the bank one full
year.

The Bowie Knife

T7HAT formidable weapon known as the

ness OF Colonel James Bowie, famous
fr0rtiersman, who was born in Logan County
Kentucky, IN 1900. He took an active part in
the revolution Of IS19-5o, and was killed IN
the Battle Of the Alamo.
some Of the most famous bowie knives were
made IN san Francisco by Martin Price. His
first attempt was exhibited IN 1883 In the first
Mechanics Fair held in that CITY. After
the FAIR Ward Eaton took the knife 70 the
Bank Exchange and ratified It of tar one hun
dred and fifty dollars. Up TO that time the
most famous knives on the coast had been
made by Billy Allison OF Yolo. Surveyor Gen
eral Hgley possessed an Allison knife. which
he backed against the Price weapon LAYING
a half-aollar on the counter, the General drove
his KNIFE clear through the coin without turn
ing the point. Ward Immediately duplicated
the feat. Higlev then tired two halt-douars.
but the point Of his knife turned. Eaton piled
up three OF the CONS, and impaled them upon
his blade without turning the point.

DRICE'S bowie knives then became as famous
l. on the Pacific Coast s Toledo blades we're
IN spain No man could be considered well
heeled" without one Marion Moore noted
mining and sporting man, ordered the best
knife that Price could make He gave the
latter a gold brick and a piece Of gold quartz
end told him TO work the metal IN. Prce
made an eight-inch bowie, with a gold handle
inlaid with quartz. Moore paid one hundred
and seventv-fve dollars for the weapon, and
IN addition handed back TO Price the gold that
was LETT over. At the same time Moore law
Yer, McCabe, secured q gold mounted knife
for one hundred dollars.
In 1901 Price made two knives for Colonel
lack Gamble, who supplied Mexican gold
0nzas for the handle frames. The handles
were inlad with abalone shell and gold quartz.
The Colonel paid four hundred dollars for
them.
The first big knives made by Price were for
q party Of United States surveyors, who wanted
them as substitute for axes IN cutting trails
through the brush The blades were twelve
inchcs long and exceedingly heavy, and could
cut oil mans head at a blow.

ROCK OF AGES LIGHT.
Fine Lighthouse to Be Erected on Lake
Superior.


superior.
George II. Banks of Houghton. Mich,
United States junior engineer in
charge of the Portage lake waterways,
has been advised by the United States
lighthouse board that Walter Byers,
engineer of construction, will arrive in
Houghton on May 10 to make prepara-
tons for the construction of the Rock
of Ages light, for which an appropria-
ton was made at the last session Of
congress, says the Detroit Free Press.
The light is to be located on the Rock
of Ages, the projecting portion of a
dangerous reef about three miles west
of Isle Royale. This rock has been 4
menace to Lake Superior navigation
ever since the first craft sailed the wa
ter. 1t has been somewhat out of the
beaten path of ships, but it has always
been argued that were it guarded by Il
light it would serve to mark a con-
venient course on the run from Duluth
to Houghton or WhitefiSh. The gov
eminent has finally decided to erect
the light.
1t will require the entire summer to
complete the work, as the rock Is in
the open lake, exposed to every wind
that blows, and it will be possible to
work only in calm weather. Mr.. Byers
has asked Engineer Banks to secure
for him Il company Of skilled mechGn-
les for the work, so that his arrange
ments in Houghton may not occupy
much time. The lighthouse when erect
ed will be one of the finest on the
great lakes. 1t is said that the lamp
itself will cost $4,000. exclusive of the
building. The lamp is of French make.
