ITALIAN DUKE A WORKER.

:'Thc harder the duke of Abruzzi
works the better he likes it," says q
member Of his last expedition. HE
is indcfatigable, and his scientific
enthusiasm rouses even the most
phlegmatic.
"Of course, exploration as carried
on by the duke is a most expensive
enterprise. He thinks nothing Of
engaging from 800 to 500 natives to
work for him. He is very kind to
his people and while sometimes risk
ing his life and health recklcssly
enough, he insists that his co-work-
ers observe the most minute precau-
tons. When marching at great
heights the duke excused number
IF his people, sending them back to
places of safety, but himself climbed
10 the enormous altitude of $500
meters, or 20,G69 feet.

NEW TYPE OF WAR BALLOON
Zorn Vessel Is Made in Three Parts,
Separated and United at
Pleasure.

Count Frederick Won Ioltkc,
nephew of the great field marshal,
has formed company to construct
fleet of airships especially de-
signed for military purposes. The
government has promised to assist
the enterprise as soon as a trial diri-
gible has been finished and tested.
The vessels will be capable Of
carrying light guns and quantity
of explosives. The type chosen is
peculiar triple Zorn balloon, which
within single framework of Cana-
dian fir contains really three motor
balloons, each with its own motor,
and each detachable in two minutes,
together with its own share of the
framework.
Thus, on arrival over the enemy.
the front balloon can be quickly de-
tached to take back to headquarters
any dispatches, photographs, etc. !;
the rear balloon can follow with
later news, while the middle part re-
mains to take part in the fight and
drop bombs over the enemy. All
three parts can be put together
again rapidly.
The whole construction is 800
feet long. The effective lifting pow
er after deduction of the airship's
own weight and the weight of the
cars and machinery is 1900
pounds. The entire framework can
be quickly dismounted in sections.
Each part of the triple balloon can
also be anchored separately.

FROGS IN SUPREME COURT

pressed.

An uncommon case was lately
fought before the German tribunals
right up to the supreme court in
Leipsic.
Two neighbors lived for long
time in close friendship until one
Of them had an artificial pond con-
structed in his garden. After a
time number Of frogs appeared in
the pond, and their croaking was so
loud and continuous as to deprive
the neighboring family Of its night
~ rest.
The disturbed family objected
and relying on a law which forbids
anyone from diminishing the value
Of another's property, requested the
pond owner to make arrangements
for keeping the frogs within bounds.
The pond owner replied that he
was not to blame for the musical
activity Of the frogs, which he had
not placed in the pond.
The first tribunal upheld the
pond owner on the ground that the
frogs were a dispensation Of nature.
which must be put up with like the
sun and rain. The judgment was
upset by the next higher tribunal
and the decision of the latter was
affirmed by the supreme court
The supreme court reasoned that
whoever made pond had to reckon
with the subsequent appearance OF
frogs, and that the noise emitted by
them constituted injury to neighbor-
ing property.

LOVE THAT FAILED.

For ten long but blissfnl years
they had walked along the path Of
love; but as yet the lovcsick youth
had never mentioned about their
getting married. Courtship is very
charming, but when there does not
seem to be altar-rails at the end of
it girls naturally begin TO lose inter-
est in the game. Anyhow, Jane
thought it time that the marriage
day was fixed, so she threw out a
gentle hint to her lover by way Of
encouraging him. That, she thought,
was all the dear fellow wanted.
"Nathaniel,' she whispered, coy
ly, ''thcy'rc saying we're going to be
married soon"
"Are they, though" answered the
stolid swain. "What jolly sell it'll
be for them when they learn we
amt"

State Finances.

The report of condition of the
state treasury at the close of bust
ness November goth, showed a to-
tai of $3I7,4o8 in all funds. Oh
this the income fund for the public
schools of the state carried $I28,
300, which will be distributed to
the schools of the state the middle
of this month. The Irvine fund
carries $58, OBS; while the general
fund shows up with but $II,623,
but this will be increased material
ly by the December call Of taxes
which will come in during this
month. The game fund shows UP
SIT ,637, showing but little increase
for several months, the county
treasurers evidently holding their
remittances until they send in 9TH
er funds this month. The fund
will likely run up to S2O,O or
more, and the counties are begin
ming to demand that they be given
a larger share of the fund as their
expense are hard to meet with
their share, while the state is piling
up surplus out Of its share Of the
fund.-Pierre Capitol Journal.

An Ideal Sunday Newspaper.
Recent issues of the Sunday
Record Herald remind one that
Chicago may fairly lay claim to
producing the best newspapers i.
the world, not excepting those o.
New York. The Sunday Record
Herald, in foreign news alone, has
its own special cable service in adj
dition to those of the New York
Herald, World, Journal of Com
merce and Associated Aress. This
is a fair example of the complete
ness of the paper in every depart
ment.
Aside from the regular news
features, there is something in the
Sunday Record-Herald for every
member of the family. The special
articles by William E. Curtiss and
Walter Wellman are always inte-
resting. The sporting section Of
fers four whole pages of fresh and
authentic news in every line OF
sport. The woman's section is
filled with illustrated articles on
the latest wrinkles in fashion and
domestic science, with Marion
Harland as a regular contributor
and Dame Curtsey's Novelties in
Entertainment" as valued fea-
ture. The dramatic page, written
by James O'Donnell Bennett, is
admittedly without an equal in the
West. The array of splendid
special articles by skilled writers,
finely illustrated. also is typical of
the high literary quality of the Re-
cord-Herald. In the oay of humor
there is the comic colored supple
ment for children, besides Charles
Lederer's cartoons and laughable
articles for adults and S. E. Kisers
delightful ALTERNATING Currents
for everybody.
But the thing that lifts the Sun-
day Record-Herald most emphati-
cally above its rivals is its maya
zinc section: There is nothing else
that can touch this in American
journalism. The Sunday Maya
zine of the Record Herald is real
magazine, full OF stories and arti-
cles by the most famous writers OF
our day, illustrated by celebrated
artists. In quality and beauty it
compares favorably with the best
monthlies. No wonder the Re
cord Herald is regarded as the
ideal Sunday newspaper.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC

In Correcting an Erroneous
Opinion

The enumeration Of the population
during census Of the United States al
ways presents numerous difficulties;
chiefly, .hc apprehension Of large ele-
ment that their answers to the enumera-
tors questions will cause increased tax
alton, legal entanglements, or injurious
consequences to their persons and prop
erty.
In order to quiet such unfounded fears,
which would, unless removed, material
Iy affect the coming census, April 10Th,
next, the Census Bureau has prepared
the subjoined brief statement relative
to the decennial census, its origin, pur-
pose and uses.
1t should furnish complete assurance
to those concerned that information Civ

sus Bureau in the strictest confidence.

THE SANTA FE VAUDEVILLE.
New version of sect Acquainted Trip
Is Given Out.

New version of ''Get Acquainted Trip
Is Given Out.
Says Albert T. Reid in his Leaven-
worth Post:
One of the most delightful pieces
of vaudeville which has been pulled
off is the recent conception of some
of the Santa Fe officials at Topeka
to take to the road and find out how
they are really regarded in the pub
lie esteem. This is to be a real grass
roots movement.
1t would be even funnier if the
scheme was devoid of a sinister side.
But,-ah ha!-The Post has tumbled
to the trick these hirelings of big
are trying to put over. These spies
of 'B B" are going to scatter out and
mingle among us, wheedle and cajole
and flatter US in an effort to make us
cough up what is uppermost in our
minds.
The scout of the party is Frank
farrell. formerly one of the common
people. Among the others are Treas
urer Z. L. Copeland, better known
among the other Santa Fe brass col
lars and the Country Club set as
Cope; General Freight Agent ]. r.
Koontz, whom the social elect are
privileged to call "Jim,'' and General
Passenger Agent ]. NJ. Connell, oc-
casionally known as Con-" although
no one dares to intimate that the
power of suggestion has anything to
do with this nickname. Colonel Saw
age it is said was to have been one
hind because they could not disguise
his $4,000 smile.
There are others, of course, but we
mention these because we have learned
and while they have already been
out, we hasten to turn loose the infor-
nation in the hope that we can head
off further damages.
Frank JarralI is dressed very much
| like the ring master of a cheap cir
Gus, except that he is wearing a Van
Dyke beard and is topped off with a
broad brimmed hat, such as in worn
only in Holton, Kansas. The Jackson
county sunburn has already worn
off. and he has a very ashy COM
plexion from working under cover for
the big railroad. Cope" has red side
burns and has his trousers tucked into
| a pair of red-topped boots He is wear
ing a pearl gray hand-me-down coat
and will be very easily apprehended as
he can not go more than fifteen min
utes without telling somebody about
driving over No. 5" on the Topeka
! Golf Course this fall. Jim Koontz
has affected a regular hay-Seed rig
and smokes a corn cob pipe inces-
sanity. His face is badly scratched
| up from looking around in the east
hedge for lost golf balls. 1t will be
dead easy to tell "Con," as the united
and persistent efforts of the entire
company are necessary to keep him
from singing 1.-The Smoke Goes Up
the Chin ey Just the Same" and he
| is almost sure to get away with it on
several occasions.
We advise everybody to keep a
sharp lookout for these undesirable
citizens, and-report Immediately when
they are sighted. In the meantime
everybody should tighten up and not
talk to strangers about what our real
feeling toward the railroad is. We
should view with alarm such PERM
cious methods as are being adopted,
and look to the next legislature, to
offer US some protection for the future.
