Origin Of the Expression -Hsppy Hunt.
ina Grounds

You often hear or see the express
sion "happy hunting grounds" and
il may be that some of our readers
do not know how it originated or
what it means. 1t is the name given
TO the Indians heaven, which his
imagination paints as prairie well
stocked with buffalo and other
game, with no one 10 modest him or
make him afraid. From this belief
arose the custom of killing the In
dams pony at the burying ground,
30 that he may enjoy sport with it
forever in the other world, for they
also believe that the pony viii sc-
company its dead master. That he
may have his weapons ready when
he gets there, they bury with him
his rifle, his pistol, his bow and his
culver of arrows. Thus equipped
he goes to the ''happy hunting
grounds" where he will enjoy end
less sport.

saIssd Almonds.

Sailed almonds prepared at home
slEays seem better than those pur-
chased, perhaps because they are
usually fresher. One only needs to
blznch them and TO each half pint
add one tablespoonful of melted
butter and one teaspoonful Of fine
salt. Stir well and then spread the
nuts IN a shallow cake tin, baking in
q rather cool oven until the almonds
become brown. This will take about
twenty minutes.

In those ancient days Walter
Wellman, even then a hunter after
the north pole, was one of the most
assiduous Of the players that as
sembled every night in the poker
room of the Press club. Mr.. Well
man was ever a cautious player, and
it was the irritated and ANNOYED
Colonel Sterrett who spread con-
tinuously the rumor that Mr.. Well
man was a man who could be easily
induced to quit the game when his
stack Of chips had grown to respect
able proportions. Colonel Sterrett
declared that he had made a list Of
the excuses offered by Mr.. Wellman
for breaking away from the game
while still a winner and that Mr..
Wellman had never repeated him
self.
1t was while Mr.. Wellman was
preparing for one Of his dashes for
The pole that he met Colonel Ster-
yett in Shoemaker's and insisted on
telling at great length Of the prep
arations he had made for resisting
the arctic cold. Quite little crowd
gathered and listened attentively.
Then Colonel Sterrett spoke.
Walter, you have told us with
great circumstantiality Of the meth
cd to be adopted by you to prevent

mel Sterrett. THAT is the last thing
that concerns us. What we want to

SMALL DOSE
FOR MCKINLEY

Portland. Ore, Feb. 28.-Horace
G. Mckinley, convicted OF land fraud
in this state, was today sentenced to
serve two years in the Multnomah
county jail and to pay fine OF 81
500. Mckinley was wildly EXETER
when he learned he was not to be
sent to McNeils island and his joy
was unrestrained. 1t is understood
that the light sentence imposed IS
preliminary to Mckinley becoming a
witness for the government i'll cases
yet to be called.
Marie Ware Mckinley, deserted by
Horace Mckinley when he left for
the Orient two years ago in COM
pany with Little Egypt" dancer,
and who was reunited with her hus-
band upon his arrival in San Fran
cisco two weeks ago, heard the sem
tence pronounced upon the prisoner
in the United States district court
this morning.
But Mrs. Mckinley was not in the
court room she was in an anteroom.
The door was only partly closed and
Mrs. Mckinley was able to hear the
fate of her husband announced and
at the same time evade the gaze OF
the curious.
As soon as Judge WolverUon had
sentenced Mckinley, his wife joined
him in the corridors. Later she ar
ranged to be admitted to the jail
where Mckinley is to be confined.

letter dropped into a box or a slot is
intrusted to the service without cOndi
ton or obligation. For the postage
paid the United States undertakes tc
transport the packet to its destination
and to deliver it into the hands of thu
addreSsee or his agent. If losses occur
through railroad wrecks or dishonesty
the sender suffers. Nevertheless the
percentage of loss is remarka bly, small.
Considering the vast volume Of mai!

ment In the course of a year the sender
Is virtually guaranteed against loss.
He is warned officially not to fntrust
money to the ordinary service, and he
does 80 at his own risk when he dis
regards this caution.
Probably but few Of the patrons OF
the special delivery mail service are
aware that the government assumes
90 obligation whatever rs to loss on
this class of matter. The package Is
on the same basis as ordinary or I'M
registered mail. All that the govern
ment undertakes for the exceedingly
high rate of extra postage demanded is
to hasten the packet to its destination
by other than the regular means Of de-
livery and to deliver 1t to the person
addressed. For hurry up messages
that guarantee is well worth the addi-
tional postage. But the citizen has no
case against the governments if the
package is delayed or delivered to the
wrong person or lost.

FROM THE WHITE
HnTTGE

An interesting sequel has develop
ed to the protest recently made in
the senate against the activity OF the
cabinet in drawing up bills for pas
sage by congress. The president a
few days ago decided to strike back
by declaring that it is not within the
province of the attorney general to
draw up bills at the request OF indi-
vidual congressman. 1t was explain
ed, however that the rule would not
apply to requests of committees
when made formally.
Side by side with the practice of
members of the cabinet drafting bills
for submission to congress there has
grown up the other practice of con-
gressmen applying to the attorney
general to draft measures for them.
1t is now considered that If the one
was an imposition on the dignity of
congress the other was no less an i'm
position on the attorney generals Of
flee.
Possibly it is we'll that check of
some kind should be called on both.

PROF. BUCK WRITES
Regarding the Constitutional Amend
ment In Favor of Free Schools.

The provision. of our present consti-
tuition in favor of the free schools was
no doubt designed to protect the peo-
pie against unjust or oppressive taxa
ton Hence it requires two-thirds
vote of the property tax payers to au-
thorize its assessment and collection.
Thus the trainers and revisers have
showed their solicitude for the protec-
ton of the tax payer. But in their
overweening caution, in their earnest
desire to be very democratic they be-
came undemocratic. Democracy gov
erns by majorities, not by minorities.
Under existing law minority of the
voters and one voter more, can rule
in the matter of taxation for school
support, while under the proposed
amendment majority can determine
and rule in the matter In all other
matters a local tax in any political
subdivision of Texas may be author
lied by a majority vote. Why should
a majority not authorize such tax in
favor of schools? Are school interests
of less Importance than other things
that majorities may decide? Are we
in Texas, the banner democratic state,
to keep in our constitution this unfair
discrimination against the children of
the country schools while in our city
schools we permit the people by
majority vote to tax themselves in
support of their schools? Are the ma
jorities in towns and cities more hon
est and intelligent in managing their
affairs and taxing their property than
are those of the country? What plea
can be made for the city and inde-
pendent school districts in favor of
taxation for school purposes that can

not be urged with equal force in favor
of rural schools?
In future communications I shall
show how poorly Texas ranks with
other states in school affairs. My OBJ
ject in this one is to show that while
the constitution of Texas is demo-
cratic in all other respects it is not
democratic in this, and that the
amendment now proposed will remove
the incongruous article and will thor
oughly cure this -lndeh1ocra1tc aefecs:
This amendment will permit the
people to improve their schools, but
will not cause them to tax themselves
where the tax is not needed. 1t will
prohibit a higher tax than so cents
on each one hundred dollars of yalua-
ton of property. Hence it may be
seen that it will not give the country
