Senators Use Snuff.

A NE of the most peculiar things in
 the Senate Chamber, at Washington. V Is the snuf box Many men are of the opinion that the days of snuf is over, driven out by cigars, cigarettes and the pipe. but such is not the case. One snuff box Is at the right of the Vice Presidents chair. and another is at the left. The boxes are convenient to the doors opening into the Senate Chamber from the corrI- '. dor close to the marble room. The snuff boxes have been there for many years and one might think they were no longer used, but such Is not the case The boxes are filled regularly by an attendant and some of the older senators stIn find much use for the snur
 The use of plotting paper in the Senate Chamber Is recent, and before 1t was used various methods were adopted to dry ink One of the oldest was the sprinkling of sand over the written page. One of the odd things Is that this method has not entirely gone out of use, many of the older senators still having their small box of fine sand The desk of each senator has a small sand duster. One of these dusters resembles a pepper box. having small holes through which the fine white sand is dusted and allowed to dry on the ink

Mr. Good Fello1U on Wise Guy Fans

IA ow. I haven'- got a word to say against the baseball fan" remarked
 Mir. A. Good Fellow. as he swung
 k aboard the car for the ball park
 and squeezed in beside an old friend. flor I'm onn of en myself. as you well know. But I do want to regis ter a gentle protest against these wise guys, these NIT. Know-it-alls. who lay down the law as to how the team ought to be run and knock everyone when the team is losing.
 You know how 1t is, Bo; they've got an explanation of just why the team Is hitting the down grade, and all sorts Of dope to show why it should not be. If this were only done, they argue. or If the other change had been made a month ago. why then so and so would be the case There is certain place l have heard tell of. BO. hotter than the inside of a dozen Turkish baths rolled Into one, and they say 1t is paved with good inten- tions and Ifs I have one, and only one, reason for possessing a curious and nor bid curiosity to see the inside of it, and that is-tO count the number of disgrun- tied wise-guy baseball fans there engaged fin laying the afore e-mentioned paving blocks.
 Honest. Do, sometimes it gets on my
 
 nerves. Went out to the game yester- day and sat next 10 one of them He knew all about baseball. Yes, sir-ree What be didn't know about the great na- tional game couldn't be found in any rule book. and. to hear him tell 1t, all the magnates were in the habit of consulting him about their lineups. This same ball game hlgh-brow had another of like cali Der with him, and the way they tore or single. double and home run knocks with their little hammers. was a lesson in bat ting the stufiing out of every or any old thing.

Built without a basement the main floor 3 feet above the grade with openings for air and ven tilation underneath. The mnin cornlce is wide spreading the outside Is covered with wide drop siding. The estimate of the cost built in this manner 1t $500. If the house should be plastered through out, a good basement underneath. the cost would reach S5,000.

come in any time and look at the books and see what is being done. Another gentleman stated that he felt that the farmers could not afford the building now as well as they could afford to pay possibly twice as much for it a few years hence, after they have had plenty of water for few years. Replying, Judge Kibbey said that was about the first reasonable ar gument he had heard against the building. There might be good foun- dation for such an opinion in the cir cumstances of some who have little to operate with at the present time, though he did not believe it would be the case with large number of the members. Nevertheless it was a fair, honest objection and much in contrast with what had been said last week in the arraignment of the officials as lacking in economy, spending the .peo- ple's money withouu need or license. only to build palatiaI quarters and buy plush furniture, etc, for their own qualification. Such arguments as the uselessness of the association needed no answer except the records of the association and the project. Alto gether it was a heart to heart talk on both sides and the few who were pre- sent seemed to all have a better un- derstanding of each other when the meeting was over.
 Charles Peterson said that in his district there had been some objection to the building in the first place. but it had been dissipated by investigation of the facts. and so far as he knew there is no objection by his cOnstitu- ents. J. P. Orne said that in his dis trict he felt sure that fully 75 per cent of the water users favored the building
 The objectors present were asked if they would be willing to abide by the result of a vote of the entire asso- citation next spring, and it is under stood they said they would.
 Just what the board of governors will do in the premises is not definite Iy ascertained and cannot be until the absent members return home. It is not unlikely. however, that the matter will be allowed to rest until next spring, when it will probably become an is sue in the annual election. As the matter now stands there is no levy for this year. even for the annual eX- penses of the association. There is a treasury balance large enough to care for these incidentals. acquired by uneXpended portions of previous assessments. but if no assessment is made this year in the event a build ing is decided upon later, there will he inst that r1IIcb moro to r.isa 1t-bap the time comes. There has been con siderable idle talk about injUnctions, etc, that is really not worth discus sion The powers of the board are well defined by law, but the board has no desire to act against the wishes of the majority, whatever it's powers.

Invariably the batters they called dubs lined out the ball for single at least, and the men they touted as the real goods with the stick either struck out or died on little pop flies. But they knew all about it-sO the rest of us round about let them dream on.
 "In the ninth inning our boys came to the bat, two runs to the bad. These Mir. Wise Fans just sat back and bemoaned the idIotic brains directing the habby brawn that dared hope to knock out victory.
