LEFT HANDED WORK In SENATE
Three Senators Are Naturally Left
Handed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
and Senator Hopkins of Illinois, are all
left handed and yet each of these SEN
ators is able to write with his right
hand. Senator Daniel of Virginia is
positively ambidextrous, and writes
with equal facility with his right or
left hand. 1t affords the pages of the
senate much amusement to watch the
senator from Virginia as he pens his
name in their autograph books. First
he will use one hand and then the
other hand in writing his name and
the signatures cannot be distinguished
according to the hand with which they
were written. Autographs, by the way,
are the natural prize of the senate
page No one knows how many books
of these signatures these enterprising
young men fill in a session. What be-
comes of all of them is one of the SEN
ate mysteries. 1t may be that the
books afford a lite spending money on
the side for the youngsters. Certain vt
is that daily, after each session, the
pages are to be found fitting from
chair to chair appealing to senators to
write their names in the books they
present.

Aerial Navigation.

Aerial Navigation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-While
France, Germany and England are ex-
perimenting with aerial fleets and
aerial aids to warfare, the United
States is not asleep. Army experts are.
watching closely all experiments with
war balloons and airships,- and ex-
haustive tests are to be made at Fort
Omaha, near Omaha, Nebraska, of a
number of dirigible balloons that re-
Gently have been purchased by the war
department General Allen, chief sig
nal officer of the army, said this week
that he believed this country was far
ahead of any other in the matter of
flying machines. So far as wireless
telegraphy in the field is concerned the
United States army is keeping pace in
this regard with other countries. AT the
present time the troops are equipped
with wireless telegraph outfits SO con-
structed that they can easily be trans
ported on the backs of three horses or
mules and may be set up in 20 min
utes. These outfits are SO attuned
that they do not interfere with each
other and they can transmit messages
about one hundred miles. These out
fits have been given severe tests by
reports that have reached the war de-
partment declare that they have been
completely successful.

BILL TO TAX THE BACHELORS
Delaware Legislator Would Make Old
"Sinules" Source Of Revenue.


DOVER, Del, Feb. 22.-The bachelors
of the Delaware legislature. in which
there are quite a few, became very
much alarmed over the notice of bill
to be presented within the next few
days by Representative H. 0. Ben
mum, Jr., of Sussex county, which
calls for the imposition of tax
upon all unmarried persons of the
age of 25 years and upward, commonly
called bachelors
Representative Bennum, when seen
at the state house here this evening
relative to the proposed measure, stated
that he proposed to have the bill
drawn in accordance with his notice
and that the ages decided upon will
be between 25 and As, and that it will
further provide for the appointment of
a board of maidens ranging from 16 to
25 who shall collect the tax, said tax
to be of a sliding scale according to
the financial ability of the man and
his age.
So much concerned have the bach
elors become over the measure, that
they threaten to bring in a counter
bill which shall impose upon the mar
ried men, or at least those who after
several years of married life would
come under the race suicide class, the
payment of a heavy fine to the state.

in Mississippi River.

small American fruit schooner Hugoma
in the Mississippi river just off the
center of the city.

that several of the passengers and the
firemen of his vessel, mostly japanese,

of the men were saved. The Kleber,
just arriving from Cabana, was round
ing sharp turn, and the Hugoma.
drifting with the six mile eddying cur
rent, turned directly into the Hugoma's
path. Captain Lewis of the Hugoma,

Maine Man Keeps Insects All Winter
and Sells Them to Spring Anglers.

Maine Man Keeps Insects All Winter
and Sells Them to Spring Anglers.
LEE, Me-, Feb. 22.-What' he be
iieves to be a new road to riches has
been discovered by James Ludgate,
a farmer living north of here. If it
doesn't pan out Mr.. Ludgate will be
extremely disappointed, particularly
as the experiment has already cost
him $14.
Last spring a city boarder who had
come here trout fishing declared that
if he could only get some grasshop-
pers he would be willing to pay liber-
ally for them, as he believed they
would prove great bait along the trout
streams. He pointed out the fact that
trout could always obtain plenty OF
worms and flies when the season
opened. but they had to wait until
August for grasshoppers. He would
be willing to pay cents each for
some, and he knew scores of other
fishermen who would give as much, he
said. y
This set Mr.. Ludgate ito thinking,
and when grasshopper time came he
hired all the boys in the neighborhood
to catch the insects at at the rate OF
1 cent for so. He sent his own chill
dren out in the fields and when the
crop had been gathered he possessed
about $4,000 hoppers of all kinds,
ages and sizes. AS fast as the insects
were taken they were placed in corn
crib. which had been made air tight
by FASTING paper over the cracks. The
crib was then filled with hay and
banked with leaves to keep it warm
within.
Thus far during the winter the
grasshoppers have stood the cold, and
Mr.. Ludgate sees no reason why he
should lose more than 10 per cent by
spring Having little else to do ne is
now making boxes in which to ship
the insects when the fishermen want
them. If he can get cents each for
the hoppers he will make about $1,000.
