HUGHES.
From the Houston Post.

From the Houston Post.
Gov. Hughes is getting some fine bou-
duets from the Hearst newspapers. And
vet only a few weeks ago Mr. Hearst was
calling him an animated feather buster.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Gov Hughes of New York Is receiving
the visits Of the politicians out In the
public reception room along with the rest
of his constituents. He is evidently de-
termined to avoid even the appearance of
evil.
From the Syracuse Herald.
If Gov Hughes gets the legislature to do
one-half he has asked 1t to do he will have
put himself In the zone of availability for
the next presidential nomination.
From the Wilmington News.
Gov Hughes of New York on Tuesday
had to do some Of his work by candle light,
the electrical apparatus in the capitol hav-
ing gone out of service for a time But
the governor can see Just as we'll by candle
light as he can by the glare of the electric
lamps He started his career when can
dies were the thing
From the Sioux City Tribune
Hearst says Hughes is all right. A ma
jority of his fellow citizens reached that
decision couple of months ago.
From the Worcester Evening Gazette.
1t is some time since New York had q
governor who insists on seeing things and
asking why. But If Mr.. Hughes keeps
going around the state. riding on street
cars and in subways, he may succeed in
surprising the public service corporations
into real reforms.
From the Rochester Evening Times.
Gov. Hughes habit of conducting large
part of his business at desk placed where
it is open to the public is strongly typical
of the man. He naturally works in the open
because he is not ashamed to let the people
know what he is doing.
From the Kansas City Star.
Man Orlr tov,
Hearst denounced Mr.. Hughes as a cor
poration tool. and. now that Hughes has
become governor, Wall street wishes It
could believe that what Hearst said Is true.

Superhuous Effort.

There amt much need O. me an you
A joinin' in when things look blue
To help along the mournful song
That rises from the doubling throng.
There's always people DRAWN nigh
To show a pretext fur a sigh.
The ones who need some help are those
That's tryin' to forget their woes.
These days, you see, the kieker's part
Has got to be real art;
You must be entered in the lists
OF cynics or of pessimists.
Sos you can have your little say.
An do 1t In an expert way.

There amt no show fur me an you.

My stroke was pretty fair.
When, Just as / began TO go,
My heels flew In the air.

And Venus, shining bright;
A comet and some other things
Burst then upon my sight.

A perfect blaze of stars.
They showed me later where I fell
They said IL was the place;

Because I'd left no trace.

Some foolish monkey trick.
The ice they showed me wasn't broke.
Though scarce twelve inches thick.

THE LAGGARD.

The world of course. moves forward every day;
The onward march unchecked 10y men things.
Each night unto its camping place then brings
The record of achievement its way.
The things that were of account now pay
A tidy sum to those whose garnerings
Were shrewdly put where they'd grow riches
wings,
And futter with an airy grace. But, say,
Although we still press forward with our might,
And each day strive q farther goal to gain
And with us in our onward, upward climb
Bear what we can into fairer light,
All strive not 50. The thing gives a pain.
The calendar is still just marking time

CITIZEN-when do you think Congress
will pass the resolution to change the date
Of the inauguration? Alt the present

FINANCE-What is meant by NEAR

1t means a mine that comes near to pro-

VALUE OF EUCALYPTUS OIL.
Neither Poisonous Nor Irritating, May
Be Applied to Most Delicate Tissue.

Neither Poisonous Nor Irritating, May
Be Applied to Most Delicate Tissue.
The department of agriculture has
issued a bulletin in which it says that
eucalyptus oil is so useful and popular
information concerning it will not be
out of place. This oil has been used
for about forty years, but only dur
ing the past ten years has it been
employed in medicine very extern
sively. It's use is now constantly in
creasing as it's properties and medi-
cinal value become better known.
The fact that it is non-poisono1ls
and non-irritant makes it especially
safe and valuable AS much of it as
a fourth of an ounce has been taken
internally without injury, and it may
be freely applied to the most delicate
tissue. Notwithstanding the fact that
it is neither dangerously poisonous
nor irritating to the human system,
it is a very effective antiseptic and
disinfectant and has come to be used
quite extensively for dressing wounds,
ulcers and other diseased tissues. 1t
enters into the composition of several
antiseptic preparations.
The oil is also well-known remedy
for malariaI and other fevers, and is
used in treating diseases of the hair
and skin and of the stomach, kid
neys and bladder, and is especially
valuable for affections of the throat,
bronchi and lungs.

Old Customs in English Army.

There was considerable heartburn
ing in the Royal Welch Fusiliers on
the receipt of the order that the knot
Of black ribbon known as the flash"
worn at the back of the collar was to
be removed, but this order only re-
ferred to the service dress, and with
full dress the flash has to be worn as
hitherto. This has now been officially
made known. and has caused great
satisfaction to this distinguished re-
giment The flash was originally in
troduced at the period when all sol
diers wore their hair in powder and
pigtails, and it's purposes was to keep
the uniform at the back free from
powder and grease.
All regiments prize especially any
distinguishing mark in their uniform.
In former days regiments had grena-
diers and light companies on their
TANKS, and these companies were dis
tinguished by grenade for the grena-
diers and bugle for the light COM
pany on their collars, and it would be
a good thing if this old custom could
be revived.

MOST ANCIENT APPLE TREES.
Planted by Spaniards in New Mexico,
They Have Borne Fruit 300 Years.

Planted by Spaniards in New Mexico,
They Have Borne Fruit 300 Years.
The oldest apple orchard in Ameri-
ca if not in the world is in the center
of the ancient town of ManZano, eight
cen miles southwest of Estancia, Tor
rance county, New Mexico. Many Of
the trees are more than six feet in cir
conference, but all are still fruitful
and vigorous, although neglected for
generations. Little is known Of the
history of this orchard, but the oldest
inhabitants of the valley of the Rio
Grande remember the orchard from
childhood and claim that the trees
have not changed in appearance since
then. Venerable Mexicans and Pueb-
10 Indians tell of visiting the orchard
as far back as they can remember and
finding apples on the ground in all
stages of decomposition at least two
feet deep.
The Estancia valley has been peO-
pied for ages, probably by the kins-
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira, Abo
and other ancient cities. Probably in
the early days of the Spanish occupa-
ton some Franciscan monk found his
way to Manzano and there planted the
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees. They are no doubt
fully 300 years old.
Close by the orchard is little lake
fed by large spring. A short dis
lance away is a grove of pines and ce-
dars. making an ideal place for picnic
and camping parties.

In Terms of Piu.

The ingenuity of the Chinese in
surrounding difficulties is well illus
trated by the following dialogue,
which recently took place on the I'M
perial Chinese railway:
Traveller wish to ship these two

Railway Of1cial-No got any rate
for dog; one dog all same one sheep;
one sheep all same two pig; can book

Traveler-But one dog is only a

Railway Oficial-Can do, all right?'
Then, turning to his clerk, Write

FIGHTS Wolf With Knife.

With only a small pocket knife, but
mostly with his bare hands, R. L. Moss
of st. Louis killed a huge lobo wolf in
a desperate encounter alone and lock-
ed between the frowning rock walls OF
Dog canon, in the Guadalupe noun
tains of New Mexico. After Moss ter
rible encounter he staggered out of the
canon with his right arm almost sever
ed at the elbow and his body torn and
lacerated by the VOLTS fangs.
Moss stumbled upon the wolf while
out hunting. The wolf had been caught
in a steel trap and had dragged the
trap and a beef quarter for miles into

The Invasion of Canada.

At present immigration is giving us
annually about one new citizen to
every seventy of our total population.
Canada is getting new people in the
proportion of one to thirty of her pres
ent number. Her arrivals last year
are reported as 215,912. Many of our
alien arrivals are only temporary Wis
itors. They stay with us until work is
slack or until they have accumulated
a comfortable little roll of money.
Then they go home again. Many stay
with us and add to our permanent
population. Practically all of Canada's
arrivals are permanent settlers in the
Dominion. Canada's gain in 1906 over
1905 was 1924, or about 40 per cent.
