COUNCIL COMMITTEE AGREES.

The Finance Committee has at last
pruned the 1911 budget to conform to
the funds available and the bill went
to the City Council last night for
passage on second reading. The bud
get. as finally decided upon by the
Finance Committee, carries appropria-
lions of $1,S02, 56S.2S, and in addition
to this amount the City Council will
be asked by the Mayor and Finance
Committee to memorabilia the Legis-
lature so that the city may be allowed
to encroach upon the surplus funds
5000 900 for two more years. The city
was allowed to use s250,000 ofthe sur
plus funds by the last Legislature.
The necessity for such action, the
committee urges, is that the Street
Department Appropriation was cut to
the bone in order to get the budget
down to the receipts for the year; in
fact, more than $4,000 was taken
from the Street Department. The
Health Department was chopped 50;
600, the Sprinkling Department IS,
600, the Light Department was cut
$4,000 and the Sewer Department
$4,000.
The Police Department appropria
ton was increased $4,000, and yter
new patrolmen will be added and al
automobile purchased for the depart
ment.

Forbidden by Unc1e sam.

Fiercest of all the wild orgies of the aborigines of North America is the fiesta which eliminates in the fire dance of the Saboba Indians, a small tribe living close to the Sierra Madre range of mountains, which walls off the seacoast of California from the desert.
 Up to last year. when the Indian bureau of the United States govern ment finally forbade the holding of these fiestas, the Sabobas had gathered every year at the base of old Mount San Jacinto to sing. dance and gam ble, and finally to throw themselves into a pit of fiery coals, roll over and over on the burning bed, and then dance with bare feet on the red hot floor of the pit.

The Best Man.

Do you know how the best man, who plays so important part in m IT. riages that have any pretense to De fashionable, once upon a time in Sweden occupied a position that was useful as we'll as ornamental?
 In olden days the Swedish bride groom found 1t desirable, in fact, to have several best men" to defend him from the assaults of rivals and prevent them from carrying away his bride. The Scandinavian warrior of ancient times was far too lofty in his ideas to condescend to plead for a maiden's hand. So he patiently wait ed until some other. man who was more gallant had obtained the fair ones consent.
 Then when all the details had been nicely arranged the proud warrior, with a body of we'll trained retainers. dashed down on the wedding party and, if strong enough, carried away the bride.
 The best men" (and it was very es- sential that they should be the best men in those days) therefore became necessary fixtures to marriage cere- monies, and they were so well es- teemed and their popularity became 90 permanent that that when the reason for their existence was in course oi time removed they were still retained -Pearson's Weekly.

Penguin would feed his wife as she sat on the eggs. He brought her prawns and the like, carrying them in his gullet into which she dipped her beak. Are the birds monogamic? ?" asked the naturalist present That we could not determine" replied the Great Icerlan. We frequently saw a male penguin feed another birds wife. but we could not say whether his motives were absolutely disinter ested"

way to save the tree now is to sur round it by a small lake and thus re- store the ground on which the tree stands to it's original condition. It must be borne in mind that the species of cedar to which the tree belongs is essentially a wet-ground product, as its name in Mexican. ahuehuete, old man-of-the-water," implies.
 In the days of Cortez the tree mu # have stood near the shore of Lake Texcoco. Since then the waters of this lake have steadily receded through various causes. and for many years now the tree has stood on ground as dry as cinders. By surrounding the tree with water it is hoped new shoots will rise, and that thus the tree will perpetuate itself without the interfer- ence of man.

GAINS FROM "wH1TE COAL"
Switzerland's Advantages Through Water Power Are Innum erabIe.

Switzerland's Advantages Through | Water Power Are InnumerabIe.
 The freeing of the little republic from dependence upon the coal fields | of Germany, the reduction in the op- erating costs of the state-owned rail l roads and the city-owned street rail- ways, the placing of Switzerland in a position of industrial advantage, are not the greatest gains which are to follow the development of it's water power, says Frederic c. Howe in the Outlook. Possibly these are but the spectacular exhibits of what a country can do when it consciously aims to use it's resources for the benefit of the people. These gains do not include the dreams which men have of the life and civilization which are to follow from this revolution in light, power and possibly heat as well. They do not include the freedom from drudg- cry, the opportunity for culture and enlightenment, the brightening of farm life, of the woman as well as the man. Nor do they suggest the possibilities of a cheap rapid transportation, by means of which the farmer may be- | come a city dweller and the clerk and the mechanic obtain a country home and both remain in close contact with work. For the problem of energy is the production of civilization and, with its costs reduced to minimum, there are no limits to the visions which men may have of the society of to- morrow. Compare this achievement of Switz- erland with the prodigal waste of the resources of America. Niagara has been abandoned to private exploitation without compensation to the state or nation and with no idea of service to the people. Only profits have fattened and monopoly made that much more secure The Susquehanna, upper Mis- sissippi. the mountain streams of Colo rado, Wyoming and the middle west. as well as of the entire Pacific slope. have been inclosed with fraudulent claims or confirmed by grants in per petuity to the electric-power trust. There has been no reservation of con trol over prices, no right to purchase by the state and no appreciable gain to the community
 We, too. could boycott coal and light the nation and fire its boilers with the water power with which nature has endowed us; but the sovereignty of the state and the we'll being of the people have been abandoned at the behests of the powerful interests whose demands have been voiced in Congress and lthe Legislatures of our states by those who were sent there to repre- sent the community.

 sician, but not being able to make money rapidly in the East he moved to Ogle County, H., where he engaged in farming. In 1860. at the age of 40, he came with his wife, who WAS Miss Marietta Chapin of Massachu- sets. to Chicago. He had S5,000 in leash and began business as real es- tate dealer. His first commission was to sell 14,000 acres in Champaign County He went out among the farm CTS of the State and when he found one dissatisfied, induced him to move. He made it rule never to misrepre- sent his properties, and the result was that in a few years he gained a tre- mendous following throughout the Mid
