The state committee at present constituted
atve body than would be composed merely of member from
subject machine methods 1t is entirely free from the faint of
bosssm. The Scimitar.
We regret that Senator Dubois has taken the above position The
facts that the present method of appointment of central
cote Idaho very bulwar of bossism There chosen
each county, then five large then from each judicial
district then three members of the press and five executive
teemen the latter being selected by the state chairman 1t must
obvious that these latter five be the of the
chairman of boss who would control the chairman and is
perfectly evident that all except the single member from each county
chosen that gives the dominating faction the state
convention decided advantage which be far of their
numerical strength There should only be committeeman from
each county chosen by the delegates theerom If thought adj

and other places, but when we found
that there were some fifty or sixty Of
such ruined cities we concluded that
as we had but little more than a week
at our disposal we could hardly ac-
complish this extensive exploration
but must leave the rest for other
visits.
There is not a doubt that this Maya
people enjoyed a higher civilization
than any other on the North Amer
ican continent their rule extending to
the whole of southern Mexico and
Guatemala. They were and are fair
and apparently mild hammered peo-
pie, but one that could maintain their
ground not only against the fierce
Aztecs and Toltecs. but against Cor
tes and mail clad warriors.
On the return of our party to Muna
we came upon a most interesting
scene, a carnival ball and saw the
Maya and Mestizo bellies and beaux In
all the glory Of their peculiar native
costumes and in their native dances.
They are very graceful and many of
them very beautiful and extremely
modest in all their life and actions.
In all the incidents of the carnival
in both Muna and Merida, the writer
saw no rudeness or unpleasant beha-
vior on the part of even the liveliest
of the street gamins.-Boston Herald.

CHASING A RAINBow.-A story, said
to be new, of Balzac, is related by a
French contemporary. A burglar
gained admission to Balzac's house
and was soon at work, by the light of
the moon, at the lock of the secretary
in the novelist's chamber. Balzac was
asleep at the time, but the movements
of the intruder aroused him. The
burglar, who was working most in
dustriously. paused. A strident laugh
arrested his operations and he beheld
by the Moonlight the novelist sitting up
in bed, his sides aching with laughter.
What is it that makes you merry?"
demanded the burglar.
Il laugh" replied the author of
'Pere Goriot," ito think that you
should come in the night without a
lantern to search my secretary for
money when l can never find any
there in broad daylight. ."-Westmin

DECISION ALL READY.
No Harm In Arguing the Matter as
Lona as Desired.

Long as Desired.
Senator Nathan Bay Scott Of West
Virginia, enjoys a wide acquaintance
among his colleagues on both sides Of
the senate chamber, says a Washing
ton Herald. He is always brim full of
quaint and interesting stories that
generally have some local application
to current situations. "Scotty," as the
late Mark Hanna used to call him, has,
if reports be authentic, provoked many
a hearty laugh during the sacred exec
utive sessions Of the senate by his
blunt and original humor.
Not long ago the junior senator from
West Virginia felt constrained to op-
pose the. confirmation of one of Presi-
dent Roosevelts nominees at an exec
utive session of the senate. Mr.. SCOT
made quite a long speech, giving his
reasons why he thought the man
should not be confirmed, but he stat
ed frankly at it's close that he realized
that his opposition would be futile.
The situation reminds me-" he said,
"of a case that was being tried by a
justice Of the peace out in West Vir-
ginia The attorneys on both sides
took long time to present their argu-
ments. Finally, late in the afternoon,
the justice, who had been fidgeting in
his chair. pulled out his watch and
said:
Gentleman, il is now my supper
time My doctor requires me to be
regular in my habits, and | SHALL
therefore, now go home to my supper;
but, gentlemen, he added. with a drawl,
you can keep right on with your argu-
ments. When you are through you will
find my decision in the top drawer Of
my desk here"

TIME ISN'T MONEY IN LONDON.
A Draft Asked For at 1890 O'clock
Ready at $50 That Day.

Ready at $50 That Day.
The operation of the great banking
houses of London is typical Of Eng
land, says the Kansas City Journal.
The Bankers, like most of the business
men of the metropolis, are very polite,
but, also like other Englishmen, carry
on business in a way that seems ex-
tremely deliberate to Americans. An
American called at one of the London
banks a few days ago to buy New
York draft for $50. 1t was then about
1890 o'clock in the morning. The tell
er requested a memorandum Of his
wants and then, bowling, said:
Thank you, sir. The draft will be
ready for you at $50 o'clock this after
noon. Will you call for it or may 1 mail
it to you?"
This was not an isolated case. 1t is
simply London's way. When person
makes a deposit he is given no pass or
deposit book, and he is required to pay
a small amount for his checkbook. On
beginning business with the bank he
signs his name in large record book
and the signatures on the checks he
draws subsequently, which, of course,
must correspond with that in the large
book, are the only evidence Of deposit
he has to offer. A woman depositor
must Immediately upon her marriage,
furnish the bank with her new sigma
ture. Some bankers even require her
to produce the certificate of marriage.
The paying teller is provided with a
small shovel, and when person with
draws a portion of his account or CASH
es a check, the clerk lifts the money in
ties the coin upon the counter in front
Of the customer.

TALKING UP.-He was a well-mean-
ing young man, but as a curate in a
small village he had never had occa-
sion to meet the class of people who
frequepted the fashionable parish to
which he had just been appointed.
His new rector, wishing to help him
on TO success. had been liberal with
advice. and had duly impressed him
with the Importance of always taking
the tone" of the people with whom
he mingled. Being invited to take
dinner at the mansion of one of the
members of the congregation and
knowing that he would have to say
grace, the young curate took his cue
from the conversation overheard be-
fore dinner, and when his hostess
nodded meaningly i'm his direction, he
delivered himself of the following:
80 Lord, thanks awfully, jolly good
feed, wOt?"-Bellman.

CARRIED OUT INsTRUCTIoNs.-Ever
sailor has his story of the mistakes
which landlubbers make over the
names of things at sea, which always
seem to be exactly the opposite of
what they are on land.
A new boy had gone on board a
West India ship, upon which a painter
had also been employed to paint the
ships side. The painter was at work
upon a staging suspended under the
ships stern.
The captain, who had just got into
a boat alongside, called out to the
new boy, who stood leaning over the
rail, Let go the painter"
Everybody should know that a
boats painter is the rope which makes
1t fast. but this boy did not know it.
He ran aft and let go the ropes by
which the painters staging was held.
Meantime the captain was wearied
with waiting to be cast off.
You rascal" he called. why
don't you let go the painter"
He's gone, SIR" said the boy brisk
ly. He's gone-pots, brushes and all!''

LIMITATIONS OF PRACTICE.-In an
Iowa town an action for ejectment
was not long ago tried "by the court
without a jury" the suit having been
brought by a religious society to re-
cover possession of a cemetery.
The defendant, physician in ac-
tive practice, had bought the ground
for the use of the society, but when
afterward he severed his connection
with the organization, it was discov-
cred that he had taken the title in his
own name and evidently intended to
hold on to it.
After duly weighing the evidence,
the court ordered judgment for the
plaintiff, stating briefly the reason for
the decisions. Whereupon the defen-
dant's counsel desired to be more full
ly enlightened in the premises.
Certainly" said his honor. I'm ad-
dition to what 1 have already said,
there are but two other reasons. One
is that the church seems to need a
cemetery and the other is that the
doctor has failed to show that his
practice is sufficiently large to necessi-
tate his maintaining his own burying
ground"

AN EXAGGERATED DEsCRIPTIoN-Mrs.
Jack Gardner of Boston has taken up
the Audubon Society's war against the
Merry Widow hat.
This hat is the worst omnivorous
creation that the milliners have yet
given u.s." she said at a recent dinner.
The number Of things required to
trim the hat is frightening. Its appe-
tite, in fact, reminds me of a police
court episode.
"A detective was testifying in the
case Of a woman shoplifter whom he
had arrested in her bedroom.

Pennsylvania ticket Office the other
day and bought ticket for a point
down the state.

side her purse and the purse inside a
little satchel and put the satchel in

looking in the late summer sun. The
sands between stretched out hot in the
white glare. From the gulch covert,
the wiry marshal rode first. His face
bore it's wonted expression of good
humored alertness, but there was an
inscrutable CLINT in his eyes that
might have found place there because
of a sure realization of the hazard Of
the situation and of his accepting it..
Langford followed him quickly and
Munson and Baker were not far be-
hind They trotted breezily across the
open in a bunch, without words.
Where the indistinct trail to the house
slipped into the wooded enclosure they
paused Was the desperate at last
really rounded up so that he must eth
er submit quickly or turn at bay? 1t
was so still. Spots of sunlight had
filtered through the foliage and fiecked
the pathway. Insects fitted about.
Bundle bees droned. Butterflies how
cred over the snow-on-the-mountain. A
turtle dove mourned. A snake glided
sinuously through the grass. Peering
down the warm, shaded Interior one
might almost imagine one was In the
heart of an ancient wood. The drowsy
suggestions of solitude crept in upon
the sensibilities of all the men and
filled them with vague doubts. If
this was the haunt of man, care
less, sordid man, would this place
which knew him breathe forth so
sweet, still, and undisturbed a peace?
Langford first shook himself free of
the haunting fear of deserted hearth
stone.
I'D stake my all on my belief that
he's there" he said, in low voice.
Now listen, boys. Johnson and will
ride to the house and make the arrest,
providing he doesn't give us the slip.
Baker, you and Jim will remain here in
ambush in case he does. He's bound
to come this way to reach the main
land. Ready, Johnson"
Jim interposed. His face was flinty
with purpose.
Not eff the court knows herself, and
| think she do. Me and Johnson will
do that there little arrestin' job and
the boss he'll stay here in the ambush.
Ef anybodys a countin on my totin'
the boss's openwork body back to
Mary Williston, it's high time he was
a losin' the count, for l amt goln' to
do It."
He guided his horse straight into
the path.
But, jim" expostulated Langford,
laying a OBTAINING hand on the COW
boys shoulder. "as for danger. there's
