FROM OTHER PENS
HE'S HARD TO PLEASE.

Governor Campbell, of Texas, is
still complaining that the legislative
branch in his state has been derelict
toward the people. What does Gov
ernor Campbell want, anyhow? There
were laws passed making 1t felony
to sell goods made by trust; there is
Imprisonment for even having in
ones possession any articles used in
games of chance; betting on baseball
Is a crime; only charges legally ascer-
tanned to be reasonable can be col
lected for the service rendered by rail-
roads, telegrap1ns and telephones;
bucket shops and stock broker offices
arc shut tight; no drinking on trains
under any circumstances; no public
official can employ a nearer relation
than second cousin; bed sheets must
be nine feet square. 1t reminds one
that, although there is criticism of our
Michigan legislature, it passed a two
cent-a-mile bill, a binder twine bill,
thirteen radical bills for the reforma-
ton of life insurance evils, railroad
commission bill, primary reform
bill and divers other bills contemplat-
ing minor reforms.-Deroit Free

The Heroine of Lime Rock Light.

Not since Grace Darling has any
woman won such fame as life saver
as is Ida Lewis Wilson's due. A
Carnegie pension in her old age is
the latest but not the greatest of her
honors.
Grace Darling was the daughter of
lighthouse keeper on Longstone, one
Of the Farne Islands. The feat that
won her instant acclaim was when at
the time of the wreck of the steamer
Forfarshire in 1888 she and her faith
er made two trips in their small boat
to where the nine survivors lay and
brought them all safely ashore. Eng
land resounded with her praise, 1850
was raised for her by popular sub
scription and her name became the
worlds byword for a woman heroine.
Five years later she died at the age
of 81.
Ida Lewis, as she is best known. is
now past 10. Her father was the
keeper of the Lime Rock Light, in
Newport Harbor, but owing to h.,
crippled condition the work fell to
her. Twenty eight years ago congress
made her the official keeper. In all
she has saved Is lives during her stay
on Lime Rock, some of them single
handed in her boat If there has been
no such thrilling exploit as Grace
Darling's the record of her rescues is
much longer.
During a blizzard in the winter of
1858 two soldiers on their way from
Newport to Fort Adams were capsiz-
ed. Miss Lewis put out in her boat,
pulled them out of the water ana
nursed them back. to consciousness.
That was really the beginning of her
career as a volunteer life-saver. Con-
gress voted her a medal and the state
legislature it's thanks. A fund was
raised and she was presented with a
boat. Since then, as the number or
her rescues increased, she has receiv-
ed medals and other testimonials 1t
Is pleasant to think that in her olC
age she is now we'll provided for, and
that after a life of faithful service at
her post her exploits in behalf of hu-
mainly are not forgotten by a tickle
public-New York World.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER.

A Republican, was PRESIDENT and
congress was overwhelmingly Repub-
ltcan at the time of the panic of 1878,
which was probably the most disas-
trous financial reverse since 1887. \
Republican was president and there
was no thought of a change when the
panic of 1884 occurred. The panic of
1893 occurred after Democratic
president was inaugurated, but while
the highest protective tariff we had
had up to that time was in force. and
business was not checked by the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. The financial
panic of 1901 and the present far
more severe one were both under a
Republican administration and with
the highest tariff we ever had in oper-

The demand for tickets has begun Tn earnest and as only the re- quired amount of tickets will be printed It can be seen that you must secure one of those pasteboards now II you wish to be assured of a seat. At nrst the Talmas started of with the usual and general number of tickets that any first-class show would nave on sale, but it has been found necessary to get 1000 more tickets 10 meet the demand.

The general admission is ~ cents, except in the upper gallery or "nigger heaven" where the price IS 20 cents. Reserved seats will be l5 cents and the boxes will be sl a sitting. In those boxes these are six sitting. In those boxes there are six Of them, William J. Histon and John J. Howard, will hold them at your disposal.

From Present Indications It Will Be
 the Biggest Event Yet Given.
 The committee of arrangements for the Foresters' fair or bazaar which will be given in Eagles hall beginning on February and ending on February g, is making more stren- uous efforts to have this the grandest fair of all than they have worked for any other undertaking for Forestery. The courts are quietly going to work enlisting members in their ranks, hoping that they will be the lucky one to secure the banner on the open ing night, when the big parade will be given. The members are all car- rying around pockets full of souye- mfrs which they are giving out to man. woman and child. There is a pretty little story attached to those souvenirs which can only be ex- plained by holding one to the light and then reversing and looking at it the other way. You will see the point after you have been star gazing for a time and you will think the point is we'll taken. The entertain ment part of the program will be just as interesting as any that has ever been arranged by the Foresters, and there Is no doubt now that if all the members get a hustle on them and join hand in hand they can make this bazaar one long to be remem- bered and can add to their treasuries a few of the golden nuggets which are to be had for the asking.

The Huns.

The first mention of the Huns in his
tory is in China. B. @. 210. They con-
quered that country and were after
ward driven out by the Celestials and
marched clear across Asia, penetrating
the country now known as Hungary in
$40 A. D. For a time they threatened
to overrun the whole of the continent,
but were defeated in the heart of
France and driven back to the banks
of the Danube.
