The hand OF Wallst. and big west

kings may be clearly detected IN
many OF the outbursts against fed
eral usurpation." Undoubtedly some
OF the governors will voice their own
honest opinions and will declare for
state rights; others will merely be
mouthpieces OF big business. Big
business interests find that they can
control each state Individually much
easier than all combined.
The house OF governors will
probably favor the election of United
States senators by the direct vote OF
the people, and will favor a constitu-
tional amendment in that direction.

Ever since the rate lamented Sam
son had his hair cut, snapper and fell
off the athletic Christmas tree folks
have been trying to come back"
Most of them return just like the
biblical man and you recall he got
back far enough to tip over the
temple and get killed in the ruins
along with a lot of other people who
didn't think II was in him. Likewise.
you recall he went blind, which same
as quite characteristic of the present
day athletes who attain fame and
Chamber To the top OF the ladder.
You can take this Samson illustra-
ton and parallel the careers of mod

trolley car on a down grade. Some or
the pugs take care of themselves and
drop out of championships because q
younger man just grows up but most
of them fall for the wine and STUN

James Jeffries was the most strik'
ing example OF how they go presented
10 the sport loving public during the
last decade. James j. always cared
for himself well. but he couldn't fight
forever, and Jack Johnson put him
down and out on certain july day
in Reno. New Now the stuff that
hooked Samson is getting Jack john

Mr. Hudson. who had made II
large fortune as dentist. had built q
very expensive country house near
Dublin. but OF such an extraordinary
construction as to bid defiance TO the
criticism of the archsSect.
One day after dinner at Curran's this
singular mansion became a subject of
merriment for his guests. The question
for their satirical inquiry was, What
was its order of architecture" One
said it certainly was GreciaD. another
contended it was Saxon and a third
that it was oriental. when their host
thus interposed:
Excuse me. gentlemen you are all
wrong. 1t is Tusk-un. From the ir-
regularities of the mansion and from
its proprietor being dentist the Irish
call it Snaggletooth Hall."-Londou An

ROQUEFORT CHEESE.
The Discovery Made by Poor French
Peasant Boy

Peasant Boy.
A shepherd boy with a poor appe-
tite discovered the secret Of making
Roquefort cheese True ms gospel
They swear by that story today in
Roquefort, France. and If they only
knew the lads name they'd raise a
monument 10 him. He was out tend
ing sheep, and. the sun shifting down
hard. he went into a cavern 10 eat his
cheese and rye bread. He failed TO get
away with all of 1t and threw hunk
OF the cheese off TO one side. II hap
pened to drop on a natural shelf, and
a few months later the boy found
the cheese still there. He saw that 1t
had undergone constitutional change.
for instead Of being dry and hard 1t
was moist and creamy. Besides. there
were veins Of greenish mold running
through 1t. The boy took nip, aud
the taste was so pleasing he carried a
crumb home TO his mother. She must
have been woman of intelligence.
for no sooner had she tasted than she
took one of the largest rolls of cheese
from her dairy. had her son guide her
to the cavern and placed it on the
Shelf. In due time the same change
was wrought. and Roquefort cheese
had arrived as an article of com
merce. All the natural caverns around
the quaint old town now are used for
ripening cheese. and the women work
in them with small oil lamps strapped
around their chests. New York Press

The COST OF LIVING.

The high cost of living is at.
tracing universal attention,
The increase has been assigned
TO various causes, among which
are the tariff. control Of produc-
ton by trusts. short supplies of
food. an over production Of gold
and other things.
II is impossible to assign to
each of these influences the eX-
act part which it may have had,
but the Department of Agricul-
ture has gathered some figures
which seem to show that the
farmers. AT any rate. have been
benefited by the rise in prices.
Taking the average prices Of
farm products between the
years 1896 and 1900. as a basis,
it is found that the cost of all
commodities has increased
nearly one-quarter. Farm
crops and live stock. on the
other hand. have increased more
than three-quarters during the
same period. Horses have ad-
vanced in value two and one-half
times and mules nearly as much.
In cereal crops has been like
increase. Corn has more than
doubled in price value, fact
which. of course, has an impor-
tant bearing on increased cost
of beef and pork. Potatoes
have almost doubled and wheat
has advanced TO one and one
half times its value ten years
ago. Cotton, which used to be
ten cents has gone up to sixteen
cents, but the price of cotton
goods have advanced less than
