The first time / saw Daisy she was
coming over her fathers broad acres
on a horse whose lope was very like
rocking chair. She was riding strad
die with divided skirts. No other wo
man on the ranches thereabout would
ride in any other costume. Barker was
riding beside her. and the two made
very handsome pair. The brim of his
sombrero was fiattened against his
forehead by the wind, lariat hung at
his saddle bow, and his splendid figure
was revealed by his coStume-viz.
flannel shirt and trousers, with boots
to his knee.
Daisy had gone out from the east
with her father, who became a sheep
raiser, and she had become fascinated
with ranch life. Unfortunately she
had conceived romantic idea Of the
genus cowboy, and, Barker being phys
ically perfect type, she had persuad-
ed herself, or, rather, he had persuaded
her, that he was just the man for her.
1 say UNFORTUNATELY" because he was
not an educated man and In every way
beneath her. There were other fea-
lures about him to rPuder him unde
sirable which will appear presently.
The couple passed me, all OF us sa-
luting, though they were unknown to
me, and / rode on to the ranch house,
where I had business with John Nolan
with reference to large purchase of
wool While dickering with him on
his veranda up the roadway came the
couple had met and alighted at the
foot OF the steps. Throwing their
bride reins over a post, they walked
up on to the veranda. Then 1 learned
that Daisy was Nolan's daughter.
AS the pair passed into the house
noticed q cloud fit over the face of the
girls father. L knew by Barker's
bearing toward her that he was in love
with her, and judged that his atten-
lions were not relished by Nolan. But
he said nothing to me then, and we
went on with our dickering. When l
arose to go he said:
There's no place about here in
which you will be comfortable except
my house. Send for you traps"
I accepted the invitation, especially

PLAN TO STOP SMUGGLING.

Dealers In Gems Form Association to
Aid Authorities.
To stop the smuggling of gems. espe-
cially diamonds and pearls, a move
ment has been begun In the Maiden
lane district of New York city. Thirty
Of the largest wholesale firms have
formed an association for the purpose
Of cooperating with the federal au-
thorities in running down all snug
glers, whether dishonest dealers or re-
turning tourists.
One of the means proposed for elm
mating the gem smuggiers or at least
curtailing their activity is to induce
the London diamond syndicate or the
British authorities to keep accurate
records of shipments. as is done by the
customs authorities in New York. In
addition. the members of the new asso-
citation in New York are to obtain and
give information that will assist the
authorities in tracing shipments and
sales in New York and abroad when
ever there is a suspicion Of smuggling.

TO HAVE NO COOKS.
Carthage, Mo-, Has Scheme
Whereby Servants May Be
Dispensed With.
CHILDREN PLAY TOGETHER
Cooperative Kitchen Established
Where Members of Community
Go For Their Meals.

The cooperative kitchen founded
recently by women in Carthage, Mo-.
has passed the experimental stage and
will now become a permanent tnstttu-
ton.
A number of women who had been
troubled by the servant problem de-
cided a few months ago to pool their
interests, or, rather. troubles, and en-
deavor by their combined efforts to
secure servants and crafty their APP
petites without communicating the
feminine portion of their several fam
lilies with the odor of the kitchen.
Many were skeptical when the idea
of the undertaking was first suggested.
but those even most positive OF the
failure OF the undertaking have now
applied for admission to the dreamful
kitchen, where servant troubles are
only horrid Nightmares, delicious meals
the regular order and contentment
reigns supreme.
Furnished Their Own Tables.
It was decided to lease the Johns
residence on South Garrison street and
convert 1t into the cooperative kitch-
en-. The large music room and the two
smaller rooms were made the dining
rooms Each family furnished it's own
table and chairs, and every one chip
ped IN to furnish the kitchen and sec
ond floor, where one large room is used
for the children. 4 nurse is always
waiting to take the crying baby while
the old folks are enjoying their meal.
The balance Of the second floor is used
as the servants quarters.
A regular menu is served, but should
any family wish something special it
is bought and charged extra. Mrs.
John G. MCGEE, a leader in Carthage
society, has been appointed to super
wise the cooking and to act as man.
ager of the institution. Each member
bears her pro rata of the expense.
An Opportunity For Gossip.
The social side OF the kitchen is one
of the most pleasant. AL of the men,
bers are friends, so an exchange Of
greettngS-and possible gossip-thrice
men, while the husbands may discuss
the latest news Of the north pole and
the probable weight of Jim Jeffries at
the time he goes into the ring.
The children OF "the Kitchen" of
whom, by the way, there are a great
many, can visit and play on the lawn.
But, whatever the minor virtues of
the kitchen may be, the good meals.
served by neatly dressed girls, prove
the greatest and most brilliantly en-
joyable feature OF the institution.

Milk and Water.

Whether milk is -watered. or not the
capital stock of milk company is.
An expert who has been working on
the books. of the biggest milk company
in New York reports that three-fourths
of the capital of s20,0O0,0OO was not
paid'for; it is merely a matter of book
keeping. The dividends are 6 per
cent on the preferred and 10 on the
common stock, inflated as it is. An
other concern paid 10 per cent last
year and % this, and has a surplus Of
nearly million
A third company is shown to have
made great profits with milk at 8
cents. but the dealers pretend that
they had to raise the price to 9 cents
to keep out of bankruptcy,

tanning an imposing list of ports OF
missing ships. 1t keeps open Offices
for the collection of customs and ton
mage dues at harbors which carriers
of merchandise find no occasion 20
visit. Cobwebs stretch over the entry
books. just as they did in the collec-
tors sanctum at the port of Salem
when Hawthorne used to fill in time
there as a customs clerk. There are
100 customs districts and ports under
the treasury's supervision. In 40 Of
them the collections fail to equal the
cost of maintenance, and in at least
90 the proportion between dues re-
ceived and salaries paid out is one
sided enough TO be ridiculous. At the
port of Alexandria, Va, it cost $1,224
to collect $40; at Crisfield, Md, 49,.
2s6 to collect SOC; at Portsmouth, N.
Harbor, N j., $4,221 to collect
$167 90. and at Annapolis, 1856 to col
lect $500.
The Tribune says it Is not the fault
of the treasury department that these
unfrequented Offices are kept open to
handle a commerce which never ma
terializes. The secretary has repeat
eddy asked congress to rearrange the
customs districts, dropping the ports
to which no tonnage engaged in for
eign commerce comes. In the last two
congresses Chairman Payne of the
house ways and means committee has
championed such legislation, but the
reluctance of many congressman to
P01n ohnliShnA nithar
in their own state or in the state of
friendly colleague, has outweighed the
treasury desire for reorganization and
overcome all arguments to prove the
folly of expanding $1,000 at some
somnolent port of entry in order to
collect SO.

The Insurgents.

There is grim hunor in character
izing the men who stood by the plat
form of their party as Insurgents, .
says Senator Moses E. ClapD Of Min
nesota in the January Everybody's
Magazine, although it matters little 20
me what term they apply to US. The
platform declared for revision, which
has been generally treated from the
stump as indicative of downward re
vision, within the limits, of course. of
fair protection. But protection was
thrown to the winds in many instances,
notably when it came to cigars and
raw sugar. and locally was emphasized
as never before probably In the history
of tariff legislation, when the lumber
men of Maine were permitted priYi-
:leges denied to the lumbermen of the
west
+ Some of the auxiliary features of the
new tariff are still worse, notably the
exemption of great combinations from
the payment of an excise tax for the
privilege of doing business as corpora
:tions. The so-called corporation tax
makes a levy on the stakeholder, but
imposes no tax upon the bondholder,
thus violating the well known princi-
pie of economics that where distinc-
lion is made between precarious and
permanent income, public policy de.
mands that the burden be always upon
the permanent income instead of upon
the precarious income. Again, the
corporation tax, by allowing the COM
pany merely to deduct an amount on
account of interest equal to interest
on it's capital stock, either imposes
,penalty on business activity or places
. prernium on watered stock; and yet
watered stock is one OF the evils which
we have been trying to eradicate from
our economic system.

to appointments to federal positions
within their districts are receiving no
| consideration.
Ofhceholders appointed upon the rec
concentration Of insurgents are to be
gradually supplanted by men satisfac-
tory to the ''standpat" element of con-
gressional districts.
Every possible endeavor is being
made to secure the defeat Of ,insurgent
candidates in the republican primaries.
In instances of insurgent candidates
winning the congressional nominations
from standpatters, the latter are to
bolt and allow democrats to win.
Insurgents are to be prevented from
securing the appropriation of public
money for the construction of public
buildings or bridges within their dis
tricts.
Decrease Appropriations.
There are to be decreased appropria-
tions for all government institutions,
such as agricultural experiment sta
tions, arsenals, navy yards. forts, etc,
located in districts represented in con-
gress by insurgents.
Appropriations for waterway i'm
provements in progressive territory to
be limited, and, if possible, prevented.
Bills providing for progressive legis-
lation, when introduced by insurgents,
will be referred to committees packed
by Speaker Cannon, where the meas
ures will die.
Insurgents desiring the floor for the
purpose of pointing out the iniquities
of the standpat organization will not
be recognized by the speaker of the
house if recognition can possibly be
avoided
work VIII be Systematic.
BY working systematically along the
lines indicated, the standpatters hope
to humiliate the progressives in con-
gress, weaken them in the eyes of
their constituents at home, and to
finally retire them to private life.
The insurgents and progressives are
practically at the mercy of their foes
now. While in Washington they are
in the enemy's country They are
doing little more than to lie close TO
their guns, all communication between
them and the White house having been
severed. In the war of politics, the
public's money is the ammunition
which counts, and of this the stand
patters are in complete possession.
The insurgents have not given up
hope, however. They believe that they
are going to win right now, but even
IL they should sustain few reverses,
they will more than make up for it in
the skir1nishes that are to take place
in the congressional elections this fall,
particularly in the west, which the in
surgents regard as friendly territory.

M'ADOO DISCUSSES JERSEY
CITY TUNNEL QUESTION.
Takes Up Station Matter and Re-
duCed Fare Today.

JERSEY CITY, May 5.-There will
no a conference this afternoon
between President William G. McAdoo,
OF the Hudson and Manhattan Railway
Company, and q committee OF Jersey
city merchants in the Hudson Terminal
Building, New York, to discuss the
tunnel station question in this city.
A meeting Of the committee was held
yesterday. 1t was announced that city
officials have taken no steps in the sta
ton matter or relative to a 5-cent fare
from Jersey City to New York. Mayor
Wittpenn had requested the commit
tee TO defer action, pending the replies
to his communication, it was stated
by Adolph Walter today. Fred Klein
asked the Mayor over the telephone
whether he had sent out the letters he
q spoken of, n was answered in
the negative.
Mayor Wittpenn, however. said he
had nothing further to add to what he
had said concerning his attitude on the
scent fare proposition. 1t was then
that a motion was carried to wait upon
Mr.. McAdoo today II on the Street
and Water Board Monday afternoon.
