M WASHINGTON.-More money was w appropriated during the short session of the fifty-ninth congress, which recently passed into history, than during any previous session The amount approximates about $1,000,- 100000. Two big battleships were au- thorized for the navy The artillery corps of the army was reorganized and enlarged. A general service pen sion was granted to veterans of the Mexican and civil wars, and like pro- visions were made for army nurses. For river and harbor improvements the appropriation aggregated s83, ,O00,- 900.
 Increased salaries were given cab inet ministers, the vice president, sen- ators, the speaker of the house of rep resentatives and It's members, ambas- sadors, ministers, and consuls, post office clerks and letter carriers.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES SHUN "HOODOO DESKS"

until radical changes in the person nel of the office cause it's reputation to be forgotten.
 Perhaps the most conspicuous case of hoodoo desk in any one of the Washington executive departments was that in which succession of misfortunes came to private secretar- ies of one of the assistant secretaries. Several deaths and other misfortunes made the place dreaded.
 But there are other noodoos in Washington. Some years ago a door keepers post in the war department building came under the ban and was a source of considerable annoyance to officials.
 At this particular door the first mis- fortune was death, the second dis missal the third holder of the post lost his wife by death and finally fell and broke limb, and the fourth ap. pointee in succession lost a child and then resigned. This resignation kept the place vacant for time, as no one could be induced to take it. The place had to be filled by calling on the civil service commission for some one from the outside.

 This great evil affects every farm CT, teacher and work hand, every home, every school, every church in every country community. It also touches the interests of the physician, preacher and pedagogue. It really robs the country merchant before his eyes, in a heartless way. He sees the freight yard crowded with consign- ments to individuals from great cata- logue houses, and sadly does he look at his country store with its stock accumulating, for want of trade, and thus decreasing in value every day. Sadly too does he look at the refuge of bankruptcy hourly being hastened because his townsmen prefer the cata- logue house with its ubiquitous cir culars. Those train loads of goods were bought with money that should have found it's way into the honest hand of your local merchant, who has the good of your locality at heart, and who is expected to contribute literally and continuously to very moral and benevolent institution in your midst. Then likewise remember this, that of all the millions thus sent to swell the coffers of houses in great cities, not one cent will ever return to bless your community; to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry or to educate the ignorant
 This is certainly a misguided, ill., advised policy; if self preservation is the first law of nature, the fact just stated should cause lovers of this country to think. Continue this policy and what follows? The value of real estate decreases, local improvements

Fortunate Men of Prominence.

Admirers of great, rich or famous people often bestow their wealth upon the objects of their regard. The Ger man emperor heads the list of lucky 'ones so favored.

 Under the present regulations he is the court of last appeal for those who object and those who do not to the pictures that get on display. Maj. Sylvester found it so hard to steer clear of trouble between the multi plicity of opinions that he would lose the whole responsibility.

ART STRICTLY BARRED IN GOVERNMENT PRIilTSHOP

Also no more will they be permitted to cover up patches of somberness on the walls of the government printing office with decorative pictures or calendars.

 A far seeing, provident business man will not pursue a policy which Is subversive of his best interests. He will not destroy his own house, neither will he jeopardize his busi- ness. He will observe the golden rule, not only in theory, but in prac- tice, and it's practical observation was never more needed than at the pres ent time. Men dream about the Golden Age' and yet, ofttimes pur- sue policy which renders the dawn of that age an impossibility.
 Within the horizon of every coun- try resident there exists an evil which is yearly assuming greater propor- tions. We refer to the mail order business which last year amounted in money sent to Chicago alone to $200, 100000. Two hundred million dollars diverted from its legitimate channel. Two hundred million dol lars sent out to enrich those who were not needy, while those at home sorely in need of support were passed by coldly; the local trade was i'm

 The immigration bill one of the measures brought over from the long session, was completed under the spur of President Roosevelt that he might meet the California-Japanese situation by giving the administration control of coolie importation through pass ports. The bill further restricts the admission of aliens to the country.
 A bill was passed for the establish ment of an agricultural bank in the Philippine islands. The free alco- hol law of last session was modified that farmers may distill the waste products of the farm to be denatured and used in the arts and sciences.

In room filled with clerks, the hoodoo desk is easi- ly recognized, for it is most generally occupied with the surplus books and general litter of the daily routine work
 The desk may remain unoccupied sometimes for months, until some new clerk comes into the room and is as- signed to it, provided there is no other vacant desk in the room. Bu- reau officials generally avoid assign ing new clerk to the hoodoo desk, if it can be done. In fact the desk is apt to remain without an occupant

Chinese all drink tea and it is due to this fact that they drink little well water, and thus keep down the rate of mortality. Tea to rich Chinaman means concentrated tea, costing ten cents an ounce; to the poor, it is hot water with few leaves dipped in; and to the very poor, simply hot wa ter It is significant of the increased wealth in the country that the major ity of the lower classes, who hereto fore could only afford hot water, are now indulging in actual tea.

AH RS. MARSHALL FIELD of Chica- WI go and George w. Vanderbilt of New York are the two latest of the multimillionaires of the country who plan to add private residences to the architecture of Washington, thereby assisting to make the city the capi- tai of society as well as the political capital of the nation.
 A real estate dealer has sold to local lawyer two half squares of ground fronting on New Hampshire avenue, Seventeenth and S streets in the northwest section, where the pa- latial homes of multimillionaires are springing up like mushrooms. The lawyer is said to be the agent for Mrs Field and MT. Vanderbilt

cease, material progress stops, the whole country suffers.
 The money of community repre- sents in a business sense just so much possibility, and every honest occupa- tion is injured in proportion as that is withheld or sent elsewhere.
 In a certain rural community, this official order and warning was issued: Unless bad roads are fixed there will be no rural delivery at all." It is impossible to put roads in repair with out money. This lack of means can not be traced to poor crops, for the harvest just gathered in has been superabundant. Men cannot support and build up business concerns in dis tant cities without sacrificing the local good. Is it fair to establish the city by depriving the country of it's just support?

talk and work the country up, then allow the city, including it's mail or der Octopus, to work it's own prob lens awhile. This, instead sf being selfishness, would be the finest order of common sense. A more marked feeling of brotherhood interest is saidly needed in the country on this particular point.
 The rural population complain of lack of facilities and conveniences; in order to obviate this, let s200, 100000 this coming year be disbursed among country merchants, among the hum- bier storekeepers, then observe what will follow. The Improvements would be marked. Social conditions would be greatly ameliorated. A new order would maintain in the home and over the broad acres of the farm and best of all, the social spirit of brotherhood would be felt as never before.
 Listen to these thoughtful words from Gov. Folk, of Missouri: we are proud of our splendid cities, and we want to increase in wealth and population, and we also want our country towns to grow. We wish the city merchants to build up, but also desire the country merchants to pros per. I do NOT BELIEVE in the mail order citizen. If a place is good enough for man to live in and to make his money in, it is good enough for a man to SPEND HIS MONEY in. Patronize your own town papers, build them up. and they will build your town up in increased trade and greater opportunities"
 These are the words of wisdom and foresight from prudent, patriotic man. As it is today, these words are expressive of the opposite of what should be in many country district The mail order citizen may think he is gaining; the truth is he is saving off the limb upon which he sits. Dis aster only can follow. The mail or der citizen makes his money locally and scatters it abroad in field where it is not needed; this is unfair to both the town and to it's merchants. This shortsighted citizen complains of the size and character of his town paper, at the same time he pursues policy which tends to destroy both Then, publishers ought to be careful how they exploit and give publicity to the mail order houses; even if they are paid well for the space, it reacts dis astroIsly on the towns best pros poets.
 Let men stand by the local mer- chant, let them protect his interests, for they thus further their own The town that made the man should be made by the man. This is fair to all Let men ponder well this truth, that we are all interdependent; that the vein of brotherhood underlies the en tire social and commercial fabric That together we stand or fall; that the good of the country demands loy- atty and practical cooperation.

miles south oil Willist0u. OF
course he did not kill them all
this year, merely got the limited
number. i've this YEAR, but dur
ing his hunting trips the past
Jew years, he has secured fifty in
all in this locality. II think the
state law, AS regards to deer
ought to be changed, making il
illegal TO kill any lawns or does
for the next i've years, only
bucks. Make the limit five
bucks. In this way, the deer
would increase in number. Deer
hunting in that locality will be
good for twenty years to come. !"
