II has been suggested that Mayor
Taylor should follow the example OF
the mayor of Los Angeles. who, on tag
day there, refused to admit any one to
his Office who did not wear tag, either
on official business or not. In. Seattle
Mayor Miller abdicated for the day and
allowed Mrs. William: H. Humphrey,
wife OF Congressman Humphrey, to
occupy the position and reign over tag
day.
Absurd notions regarding what was
expected of workers have gone abroad
and injured the cause said Mrs. L. s..
Dunbar, president of the Children's s
hospital. Nothing will be expected OF
any worker which will in the least tend
to injure her pride or self-respect. No
one viii be pressed to buy tag WHO
does not respond readily. The public
will know thoroughly what to expect,
so that no one will be taken by SUR
prise. Those wishing to give more than
10 cents for each tag may do so, but
no worker viii be expected to ask
more"

hotel.
Dir Broughton. before he sailed for
Europe, explained to a reporter the bust

In the midst of his explanation, fearing
that the reporter found the subject dry,
he told a story about strong man.
Our business management is very
good" said DIR. Broughton ''Xerxes the

would have remained Xerxes to the end.
"This herculean fellow, you must
know, was engaged by circus manager

began, and for a while all went well.
Then bad district was struck, and for
days the circus drew only handful of
southerners.
when pay day came the poor man

the ticket wagon window, he looked out

the money was all gone, and the tour
broke up then and there in great confL-

.But the manager was resourceful and
plucky. A month later, with fresh capi-
tai. he was ready to start out again.
And being singularly honest, he tried to
re-engage all those who on the former
tour had not been paid. IN this he sue
ceeded. Xerxes the strong man was one
of the first performers to enroll.
When the manager saw Aerxes he
was delighted.

ENORMOUS COST OF FUTURE WARS.
Science and the Dollar Mark Will Take
the Place Of the Hollow Square.

Ii you are looking for a good concrete
example or how science is making war
more and more costly, here it is. Torpe
does themselves are each worth 4 small
fortune. But mot0rite will probably
make II cost $4,000 half hour to run
a torpedo boat. 1t is only to be used at
the supreme moment, other fuel being
used under ordinary circumstances At
the crucial moment it will give the tor
pedo boat and the torpedo speed great
er than an express train-at a tremen-
dous cost. But balance against the cost.
large rs 1t sounds, the possible, almost
certain, less deadly the warfare. The
reason is not far to seek Double the
range OF your guns, for instance, and
YOU simply double the distance between
the fighting lines. The farther the man
target IS from the man-killer, the safer is
the man-target. Increase the explosive
force Of shells and torpedoes. and the
strength and resistance of armor plate
are increased to meet them. argues Ar
thur b. Reeve in Hamptons Broadway
Magazine.
If you doubt that war is less deadly
today than in ancient times, compare
some of the battles. Hannibal slew 49,
600 out of 10000 yanquished Romans at
Cannae. At Mukden, after many days
of fighting, the Russian dead. including
those lost in the retreat We're barely

nearly 100000. The yanqLished Rus
slams in the greatest sea fight of modern
times, when Togo smashed their fleet at
Tsu-shIma, lost only 10000 in both killed
and wounded. At Salamis the defeated
Persians lost hundreds of thousands
killed outright. These are not excep.
tons. either.
After all. it is really money more than
life that counts nowadays in war. The
deadliest of modern man-killing devices
are making war more and more impossi-
BILE than are all the peace conferences
combined-beeause they are dollar-killing
Universal peace is the product of the
inventor perhaps more than of the cler-

away from bridge and everything else

explained what was the matter | told

He had to set to work by himself

MAY GET SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
The Presidents Hunting License and
East Africa.

President Roosevelt, not having signi-
he'd his intention of asking special privi-
leges for his hunting trip in British East
Africa through diplomatic channels. it
is supposed that he will take out an or
binary ESQ $3.50 license from the colo
NAL office. This, however, has not vet
been applied for, though it is always
usual to demand such licenses several
months in advance.
Under them each hunter is limited to
60 animals, except in the cases of lions,
leopards and crocodiles. of which he
may shoot as many as he wishes. AS set
forth in the new licenses, the President
may kill elephants, , rhinoceri, 10 hip

President Roosevelt will be required to
set forth in his own handwriting the
animals he intends to kill, as well as the
locality where he will hunt. Before leav-
ing Africa he Will be required to declare
what animals and how may he shot.
One of the organizers of the trip. an
American interested in the developments

FISH WITH A SAIL.

Few marine animals seem at first
glance to betray less intelligence than
the jellyfish. Up with the tide and down
with the tide, carried along by this or.
that current moving with the eddy of
backwater, hither and thither the Jelly
fish has become almost a synonym for
helplessness.
idea of the jellyfish is wholly mistaken;
but it is perhaps only in tropical waters
that he is found in the perfection of in
telligence. In the South Pacific, around
the islands of Polynesia, and as far
south as the upper portion of the North
island of New Zealand there is a jelly
fish who not only knows where he wants
to 90, but is even provided with sail
which he can and does hoist or lower at
will The sail, like the rest of this Gu
rious animal, is almost transparent. but
unlike the body of the fish, which is Of
the usual gelatinous construction. the
sail is a membrane almost as hard as
shell.
Round about the Ellice group the nav
igating fish is often found with a sail
measuring five inches across, and he
nayigates the shallow island waters with
the skill of Hooghly pilot, steering in
and out of shaggy places and avoiding
distractions both above and below the
surface with unerring skill. Like his
cousins in home waters this navigating
jelly fish has the power of stinging its
natural enemies, and its sting is fatal to
fish and dangerous TO man.-London
