Boise During the six months
which will end in December, 1904, 900
acres Of unsurveyed land will have
been surveyed in the state of Idaho by
the surveyor generals department.
This is the estimate made by Surveyor
General d. A.. Utter. of the Idaho dis
trict, who is directing a crew of 100
surveyors in the Idaho field.
1t is asserted by the surveyor gem
erals department that 100 townships
will be surveyed by December.
Surveyor General Utter announces
the appointment of another special ex-
aminer to take the Idaho field. He is
A. c. Harton, Jr. Frank Spofford,
who is also an examiner Of surveys,
will remain under the department.
The new surveying system has been
in progress little ever two months.
This does away with all contract work
and allows the surveyor generals de-
partment to organize and handle all
survey work. The settlers are to be
given preference over all other appli-
cants for surveys.

THE AMENDMENTS
To Be VOTED UPON
THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA
TOMORROW.

Atlanta, Oct. 3.-Of the three
amendments to the state constitution
presented for ratification or rejection
at the election next Wednesday, only
one is of statewide Importance, that
which proposes a namendmenG to par
agraph 2, section 6, article I, confer
ring upon the counties of the state
the power to levy taxes for the pur-
pose of supporting high schools.
At present counties may levy taxes
only for common schools and high
schools are supported either by mu-
inequalities or Wy private funds. With
the ratification of this amendment
it will become lawful for any county
in the state to support a high school
by taxation. 1t is thought this will
have the effect of causing the estalG
lishment of many high schools in va
rious sections of Georgia.
Anoter amendment proposes to au-
thorize Fulton, Chatham and Rich
mond counties to pay additional sal
aries to their superior court judges.
The state pays each judge of the SUI
perior court $4,000. But as the work
is of such Importance and extent in
the three large counties named, it is
necessary to supplement the amount
paid by the state in order to get the
best talent for the bench. This amend
ment simply authorizes these coun-
ties to pay their superior court judg-
ss $4,000 additional.
The third amendment proposes to
authorize the city of Augusta to issue
EOnds in excess of the constitutions
al limitation upon municipalities. The
constitution now prohibits any munic-
ipality from issuing bonds in amount
greater than Z per cent of its taxable
property as shown by the returns. Au-
gusta asked permission to be allowed
to exceed this amount, but only for
the purpose of taking care of the
flood situation from the periodical
overflOws of the Savannah river. The
request was based on the fact that
Augusta owns certain municipal prop
erty in the shape of certain utilities
which will stand back of any bonds
that may be issued for the purpose in

Anacostia and the southeastern

by rabbits, and unless the Police De-
partment overlooks some of the po-
lice regulations and gives the resi-
dents permission to fire few shots

Until November 1 the police game
regulations prohibited the shooting
of rabbits and exposing them for sale
or having them in possession, thus
protecting the animals which have
caused so much havoc. Another po-
lice regulation offers them additional
protection.
The regulations stipulate that no
gun or pistol can be fired in any Sec
tion of the District within 500 yards
Of the public road, school, church or
residence In certain sections of Con-
gress Heights only can location be
found that Is 500 yards from a resi-

tion to the moro densely populated

Subordinate Themselves to Fashion.

Charles Bruce-Winston, an English
actor who has left the stage to take
charge Of dressmaking firm, says
that women make the great mistake
OF subordinating themselves to fash
ion instead of "binding fashion to
their chariot wheels" .Actresses, he
thinks, are the best dressed women,
because, while they sometimes over
dress, they at least study what suits
them and pay attention to "those tiny
and apparently insignificant points
which make the difference between a
charmingly and badly dressed
woman
The stage, he thinks, has a great
effect on dress, but the good is often
nullified because the woman who tries
to copy the dress she has seen on the
stage has failed to mark the details,
noting only the general effect-so the
dress is failure.-Ncw York
Tribune.

"Why, Of course" said Penelope,

"Why, of course" said Penelope,
miserably. "He was sorry for mo

help me out. She knows all about it,
and that's why she hasn't minded"
After a little while Penelope was
guilty of another wall of dlsmay.
"I wish," she said, "that he hadn't
told mel wish he'd never overheard
anything. Perhaps if we hadn't

cried, for she reflected that no man
with such pretty countrywomen of his

care for shy little English girl.
When Penelope came down in her
tailored suit to so away, the Ameri-

worried.
"How's your headache?" he asked
"It's all right, thank you," said
Penelope, trying to smile.
Come here a moment" said the
American abruptly. He pushed open
the library door. Penelope's aunt,
who was about to descend the stairs,
discreetly vanished.
"It really doesn't bother me
much" repeated Penelope, as the
American continued to look anxiously
at her. "D!d-did you have n pleas
ant walk" she went on, striving to
speak quite politely.
Walk? Oh, yes" murmured the
American. 81 suppose our walks are
over for all time, Miss Penelope. Are
you glad you're going back home-to
marry an Englishman?"
There was stinsins sensation be-

put up her handkerchief to relsve it,,
quite suddenly she found herself sob
bing against the Americans shoulder.

Tho Shelley Legend.

Most Englishmen, then frightened
by the Terror, thought that Atheism,
Republicanism and what we now call
Free Love were all symptoms of a
new kind Of wickedness which threat
ened to destroy society. They we're
only too glad to make an example of
Shelley as a monster in whom all
these symptoms were united; while
he himself, condemned as consistent
in vice, was the more firmly convinced
of his consistency in virtue. After
his death, when the fears caused by
the French Revolution died away and
his music began to enchant the world,
the old legend Of Shelley with horns
and tail gave way to new one Of q
Shelley with wings and a halo. This
has been accepted even by his de-
tractors, and Matthew Arnold made
skilful use of it when he called him
a beautiful and Intellectual angel,
beating in the void his luminous
wings in vain. :. am not pre-
pared to emasculate him thus. I
treat him as a human being, and try
to prove that he was one. interesting
because of his very imperfections. be-
cause of the ceaseless struggle of his
not omnipotent will I have
criticised him freely because I believe
that all men, even the greatest, are
imperfect in all things, and that un-
less we understand the nature of their
imperfection we cannot understand
the nature of their greatness.-Mr

Impure Air and Wrinkles.

Some recent writer's on the subject
Of wrinkles hold that the air in our
rooms should be changed three times
every hour. The skin owes its beauty
to the nerves which control the fine
blood vessels of the surface, whose
work lends glow and clearness to the
face.
The nerves in turn owe their SEN
sitiveness to the air, which is our
chief nutriment, inhaled by gallons
hourly, and should be pure and in
vigorating. When the nerves are
deadened by close air the fine musclesl
lose their tone, the tissue of the face
shrinks and these shrinkages becomd
rinkles.-London Globe.

DON'T LOOK FOR FLAWS.

Don't look for flaws as you 60 through life;
And even when you find them
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And lock for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has hint of the
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
1t is better far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding,
The current life runs every way
To the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers
course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste curse on the universe;
Remember it lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
form,
But bend and let it fly DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to the letter;
Some things must 90 wrong your whole life
long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And 90 under at last in the wrestle;
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan
As the water shapes into the vessel.

Age

MARRIAGE is POPULAR.
But the Wonder is That Nine-tenths
Of Them Still Hold Good.

Answering the query, Why so many
divorces? Life offers six answers:
First, because of the decline of an
thority. Everybody in the country
wants to be his own boss, and Is so,
as far as possible. Nobody wants to
obey unless obedience matches in
clination. Second, because there are
SO many more ways than there were
generation ago for woman to
make a living. Third, because the
price of living is so high. Men aban-
don their wives In shocking numbers
because the job of maintenance Is
heavy and they get tired of it. Fourth,
because women require much more
and give less than they did genera
tion ago. They have been carefully
endowed by law in most States with
rights and privileges proper to indie
pendence. Fifth, because distractions
have greatly increased in American
life in n generation. Sixth, church
influences, for the time being, are
weaker than they used to be, and
dramatic influences are more per-
vasive; church influences favor con-
tinuity in marriage; dramatic infu-
ences favor variety. There are plenty
more reasons, but six are enough.
The wonder is that, in the face OF
such convincing reasons as these,
about nine marriages in every ten still
hold good. All things considered,
marriage seems incorrigibly popular
even in this restless and progressive
country The united state being diff
ficult and expensive to achieve, 1t is
bad business for those who have at
tanned to It to relapse back into the
condition of the united.
