For Hospital Surgeons.

Your correspondent is going to in
dulge right here in little publicity"
or educational business in the in
fore congress. 1t is a very common
practice when some interest wants
something at the hands of congress to
employ lobbyists and a publicity
agent" the function of the latter be-
ing to beguile newspapers into print
ing boosts for the particular thing in
which the agents client is interested.
His success depends upon his getting
editors to print his stories without
discovering their true import.
This particular boost, however, is
not going to be served up with any
sugar coating. 1t is an out and out
advocacy of the cause of men who are
trying, or whose friends are trying, to
get money out of the treasury. The
men are the $50 odd surge ons consti-
tuting the public health and marine
cal officers of the army and navy,
with whom the marine hospital sur
geons are supposed to rank, was rails
ed last year, but the marine hospital
surgeons were overlooked. Why?
Well, for one reason, they didn't have
any lobbyists at the capital. Army
and navy officers, civil service clerks,
letter carriers and almost every other
class in the public service have lob
bied for more pay and because they
could bring political influence to bear
they have been or are in way Of being
uniformly successful. The Marine hos
pita1 surgeons went about their bust
ness and didn't poster congress and
were overlooked. 1t was only by
chance that the discovery of the in
justice was made, and 1t is likely the
oversight will be remedied at the pre-
sent session.
Has Small Appreciation.
The public generally has very little
appreciation of the service rendered
by these Marine hospital surgeons.
Their fighting ground is where the
scourge Of epidemic disease threatens.
Twenty-Five of them tackled the New
Orleans yellow fever invasion in 1905
and stamped out the disease two
months before frost, four of the 25
themselves contracting the fever. All
told, seven surgeons Of the staff lost
their lives fighting yellow fever and
all the insurance companies classify
them as extra hazardous risks. They
make no fuss about their work and
have not tried in any way to influ-
ence congress to give them more pay.
That's why this boost is written.

Snowman Learns With Panied
Surprise That the Presi.

$500, 900 Job.
CIRCUS BOSS HOWEVER
STILL HAS HIS HOPES
money Talks, Don't IT." He
Asked, When Crimp Appar-
emily Is Put in Rough Rider
Project.
BY Sheldon s. Cline.

Washington, Feb. elf this were
Germany or most any of the world S
monarchies, that man up in Bridge
port, Conn.,, who wants President
Roosevelt to turn circus performer
might go to prison for lese majesty.
The funny part of it is that the
Bridgeport man, James Atlas by name
appears to be in deadly earnest. He
offers Mr.. Roosevelt 100000 for
thirty weeks engagement, and is
ready to put up the money the minute
Mr.. Roosevelt signs the contract.
This is at the rate of $4,000 a
week, or a trifle more than ten times
the salary Mr.. Roosevelt has received
at president of the United States.
Money talks, doesn't it," inquiries
Mr.. Atlas in panied surprise and he
is considerably amazed not to say
grieved that Mr.. Roosevelt did not
telegraph acceptance. He admits his
letter to Mr.. Roosevelt remains I'M
answered and that the president re-
fused to talk with him over the long
distance telephone, and he can't quite
decide whether Mr.. Roosevelt is mere
ly waiting until he leaves the white
house before accepting the offer or
whether he is holding out for bigger
money. II it is more money the presi-
dent wants, the Connecticut man feels
certain terms can be agreed upon.
Would be conseniaI.
And it would be such a congenial
occupation for the ex.president, rea-
sons Mr.. Atlas, to say nothing Of what
easy money it would be, both for T. r.
and for the promoters. He wants to
call the attraction the Roosevelt
Congress Of Rough Riders" divided
into three acts. The first act would
be scenes from Western life and Mr.
Roosevelt, dressed in cowboy style.
would come whooping at the head of a
band of Indians, cow-punchers, &c.
There would be a. buffalo hunt, in
which the buffalos would not be real
" killed. a stage hold-up in which
Roosevelt would come to the rescue
and save the fair maidens in distress,
and other genuine hair-raising thrill
ers. 1t would be whoop, slap, bang
from start to finish and wouldn't
Roosevelt be just in his element? asks
Mr.. Atlas.
The scene Of act two would be laid
in Cuba and the climax would be the
charge of the Rough Riders up San
Juan Hill, Col. Roosevelt, sword in
one hand, six.shooter In the other,
and the reins in his teeth, leading on
to death and glory.
Then the Inauguration.
Act three would represent the in
auguration of Theodore Roosevelt as
president of the United States. Mr..
Atlas has some hopes that he may
prevail upon Chief Justice Fuller to
administer the oath. but failing in this
he would have an understudy make up
to resemble the chief justice. He be-
lieves this would make a great hit as
a sort Of tableau finish, but has been
some fearful there wouldn't be quite
enough excitement In 1t to appeal to
the president. Much against his own
inclination. he would be willing to sub
stitute a scene in the heart of the AZ
rican Jungle.
And the strangest part Of 1t is that

Dan Sullivan. who is claimant OF
more or less notoriety as a profes-

II has been frequently reported late

In spite OF the fact that Joe La
Sale, the wrestler from Eugene, out

A man made purchase in Nome store and paid for it in gold dust, and in doing so merely pulled a leather poke from his pocket and handed It to the clerk. Then he turned around and began conversation with another man, paying no heed whatever to hls bag until it was handed back to him, when dropping it once more into his pocket, he picked up the articles he had pur- chased and departed. He had given no heed to the weighing of the dust taken in payment, and unless he had weighed his gold before entering the store, had no means of Knowing whether the right amount had been taken out. The won dering tourist, coming from land where change is at least glanced at, asked the storekeeper if allhis custom CTS were as trusting as this one appear ed to be, and simply handed him thelr dust pokes tn take what he wanted.

 She was the Miller's Daughter Fair, plump of figure and brown of hair; she could take pan of her fathers flour and turn it into cake in an hour! So neat was the maiden, so dainty and clean, it made man hungry if he had but seen a bit of her cooking on table or shelf-for all was as wholesome as her own sweet self. She loved young farmer who lived near the mill; he'd drop in there at meal times and eat there lis fill; he was not much fo: prettv and little for wealth, but the Miller girls cooking preserved his good health til be became so conceited and so hard to please, that he "threw down" the maiden (now, wouldn't that freeze the nerve of sourdoughD and started away to win some big money and marry (some day! a more stylish girl. lie landed, I VOW, in Fairbanks-and he's in TaDaua now!
 He started for Dome creek, there he cot a lav on Muck Bed of Promise, which "promises" to pay. He lived in a cabin and cooked his own grub, and worked night and day like the variest dub.

His funds were soon exhausted, and when the police found him he was not only in starving condition, but was suffer ing severely in the first stages of pneu- monia and an advanced attack of ap- pendicltis. When the doctors got through carving him they thought he would dle, but it appears that the young man was possessed of a power ful physique, as result of bis out.of- door life and his athletic training at school, and he refused to give up the ghost.

 Mobile. Dec. 1---(special.) )--The re- turns of Mondays election will be canvassed Saturday at noon by the Returning Board. composed of the Judge of Probate, the Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Sheriff of the county.
 All but one precinct is in now and the total majority against the meas ure Is 2.e45. The vote against the measure Is six to one. F. O. Hoffman. Mobile Representa- tive in the last Legislature, in an in terview today. said:
 The result of the election is espe- cially gratifying to every member of the Mobile delegation. I take 1t. Since the county went about six to one against the amendment, the position taken at the last session by my col- leagues and myself seems to have been fully ratified.
 We contended vigorously, and to the best of our ability, for local option and for the right to vote as Mobilians upon the proposition.
 MT, Carmichael. of Colbert County. the Speaker of the House. told me in reply to question, that he knew the measure was a bitter pill, but our country cousins had come to town and we had to swallow 1t. No doubt he makes wry faces as he swallows the results in his own county of Colbert.
