OVERLAPPING OFFICES.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 5,
relating to overlapping offices. Senator
Smith spoke against the resolution in
much the same strain as on the previous
day. He said the changes should come
gradually. Several have been made
in the County Act at this session and
others would follow.
Senator Mccarthy agreed with the
previous speaker but there are certain
offices which may be dispensed with.
There are Territorial offices which
should be done away with and the only
way to accomplish this is by making
amendments to the Organic Act.
Senator Smith said all the changes
necessary could be made here without
going to Congress for it. The motion
to lay on the table, made by Smith,
failed and the resolution was adopted
on motion of Senator Mccarthy.
Secretary Atkinson then notified the
Senate of the Governor having signed
the following bills:

PROFIT SHARING.

Senate Bill No. 116, relating to dis
tribution of profits, was called for
third reading and met it's objection
from Senator Knudsen who opposed
handing over the money to one man
for distribution. In time all of the
wharf receipts would go to the Su-
perintendent of Public Works for dis
tribution. So long as there is a treas
urer and an auditor the distribution
of the funds should be through their
Offices.
Senator Dowsett offered an amend
ment which failed to meet with the
approval of Senator Eayselden and
Senator Smith. For that reason Hay
selden moved to indefinitely postpone,
he thought the schools would have a
better show under the present law. He
withdrew this motion, however, when
Senator knudsen moved to table, a mo-
ton which carried.

How the Other Half Gives.

''That sentiments of tender charity
are innate among the poor can be seen
from case which presented itself
among a group Of little children at a
school where we visited" writes Mrs.
John Van Worst in her Christmas
article in Woman's Home Compan-
ion. "They were Of the most desti-
tute, this little class, but as regular
as soldiers in attendance. After an
unusual absence of two days, one of
the small pupils, Mary by name, was
closely questioned by. the teacher on
her return. Very reluctantly she re-
sponded that they had been without
food at home and that she was
ashamed to come hungry to school.
'.No comment was made before
the other children. Nothing further
was said. =,
"The following morning small
procession filed before the teachers
desk-a procession of little people,
tiny, poor, ignorant. Yet not one
of them came empty handed. One
brought an apple, one a piece OF
cheese, one a roll, one slice Of meat
And each, as she put her meage1
offering down, whispered to the
teacher: It's for Mary.'''

Oppose Nude in Art.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-According
to special to The World from Tren-
ton, N. j., the people of that town
have become suddenly stricken with
the idea that there is something
wrong in the nude in art: AS a re-
suit the visitors yesterday to the
statuary rooms in the industrial
school of art found each Of the time
5blackened nude casts adorned with a
fresh, glaring white fig leaf.
Many ridiculed the idea, but the
directors of the Institution say that
they were only carrying out the
wishes of the ministers and Sunday
school workers of the city and that
time would discolor the additions to
the statues so that they would not
appear so prominent as they did yes
terday.

One day Marian's mother was horri-
fed at seeing her seated upon the
ground at Cricket's hind legs, with q
pair Of shears in her hand and delib-
erately trimming the pony's fetlocks,
which no one else had ever dared to
touch. Cricket would turn his head
from time to time and lay his nose up
on her arm as If to- reassure himself,
but he never lifted his foot.
In the spring following Cricket's en-
trance into civilized life he happened
to be in the pasture one day when q
drove Of Texas horses was passing
along the road. he saw the horses
and became wild with excitement.
Neighing loudly. he raced along by the
fence to the end Of the pasture; then.
like a deer, he went easily over the
five barred fence and in the big, broad
road was free.
The horses, startled by Cricket's sud-

Women Shuck Corn to Lift Church
Debt.

Sioux CITY, Ia, Nov. 26-Donning
overalls and sweaters, society women
of the town of Sutherland, Ia, near
here, spent an entire day in the corn
fields picking corn to raise a church
debt.
They received three cents per
bushel, and nearly fifty women en-
gagged in the task. The combined
output for the day was $500 bushels,
getting the tidy sum Of S75 for the
days work.
Mrs. w. P. Davis, one of the most
enthusiastic in the scheme, and who
first proposed the idea, is the wife OF
the president of the Sutherland State
bank; Mrs. A. J. Sieh is the wife of
a prominent business man; Mrs. Rose
Fraser's husband is a state repre-
sentative; Miss Nellie Farley is the
daughter of District Judge Farley,
and the others are equally prominent.
Motor cars were procured, and the
women whirled away to the farm OF
R. w. Lee. They presented picture
saue appearance in their mannish
costumes, but they did not come for
show, but to work, and in an instant
had raided the cornfeld and fell to
work. The women labored rapidly,
and the picking Of several acres was
accomplished in few hours. By
noon several wagon loads had been
taken to the barn.

the dark haired, brown eyed little girl

Of the plantation homes and watching

the horses until they were out Of sight;
then with sigh she turned and went
back to her play, but the spirit with
which she had begun the game was
gone.
Marian was only ten years old. Hav-
ing no sisters, she played with the
boys and surpassed them in their own
games. In running she was swifter

ed to enjoy. He was in mischief very
often. He took special delight in walk
ing under the clothesline, brushing his
back with the newly washed clothes
and making the washerwoman furious.
Picking up a switch, she would rush
after him, but he was wise enough to
do his mischief only when his mistress
was near enough for him to run to her
for protection, and the washerwoman
would retire, shaking her head and
the switch and muttering dire threats
Of future punishments when yer mis-
sis amt nowheres around"
His devotion to Marian was really
remarkable, almost beyond belief. and
he showed it in little ways too many
to be mentioned. Whenever she came
out Of the house he would stop graz
ing to follow her about the yard or to
stand by her, his head upon her shoul-
der and an expression of perfect con-
tent in his great dark eyes. Some
times she would take book into the
garden and read, while Cricket grazed
among the flowers.

But above all other sports she loved
horseback riding. and in this she ex-

With saddle and bride or without she
was at home. She loved riding. and
she loved the horses. They were her
dearest friends. She went among them
without fear, and not one had ever
shown the slightest disposition to do
her harm. Even Black Prince. her IA

The night after the drove had passed
her last thoughts were Of the little
bay pony. and in her dreams she was
on his back racing over the fields or
leading him about the yard or the gar
den.
The next day was cold and clear.
The March winds were wh1stling
around the plantation house, bringing
down from the trees the dry leaves
that had braved the storms Of winter
and sending them hurrying along, to
the great delight of crowd Of little
darkies who were already engaged In

From that day the devotion between

word throughout the neighborhood.
On the day after his arrival Cricket
began to cough. the next day the
cough was worse, and In short time
it proved to be a severe attack of dis

An unusually cold and rainy March

Reincarnation, which Is fundamen-

presented two cases which are so eX-

all foreigners.
A reincarnation Of human identity in
human form, although changed in out

and Is usually an ordinary looking
child. The "minzas" In the present
cases are the children Of humble Bur-
mese parents. The souls they are said
to possess are those Of two British Of
fcers who died at the time the min

The story Of one "minza" is related
in the Rangoon Times. 1t furnishes
curious and interesting glimpse of u
phase Of Burmese belief. The story
runs:

how he and two others, woman and
a man, were drowned in Meiktilla lake
in a boating accident during storm

three and only occupants Of the boat
perished.
'"That is the year in which Mrs
