CIRCUS TICKETS FOR PRISONERS

CIRCUS TICKETS FOR PRISONERS
The bold idea of allowing prison
ers to go outside the Jail alone and
to work without guards upon their
honor, is in successful operation to-
day in Vermont.

Imprisonment a little less hard are

causes which led to their confine-
ment. In many instances by in
spring confidence in discouraged
men we have helped them to turn
over a new leaf.

BILL USED

AIIayed by Rigid Rule.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Dec. 16. - [Special.1-
F~orteear that 1t might attempt to do
som hing besides passing the appro-
priation bills the house has tied itself
up by having the code bill take up
Wednesdays of each week, which day
was heretofore the only outlet for leg.
islation.
Now everybody who wants anything
passed is told hat the only day upon
which the bills could be considered is
taken up with the code bill. AS this is
a revision of the United States laws
relating to the Judiciary 1t will be a
fruitful theme of debate. The pro
posed legislation relating to injunc-
tons may be considered in this bill.
Fol those who fear certain legisla-
ton may pass the code bill is most
satisfactory. 1t also assures those
who do not want to hustle that they
may take things easy.
The Usual Bear Garden.
The house Of representatives is more
d~isorderly than ever, IL that is a posi-
BILE condition. Perhaps it Is because
SO many members have so much to
say to one another that they are I'M
usually noisy at the beginning of the
short session.
No Il pays much attention to what
Is going on save the member interest
ed In the bill which may be pending
and perhaps the member who may be
opposed to 1t. Much time is wasted
in trying to maintain sufficient order
so that business can be transacted.
1t becomes more and more apparent
that If the new apportionment en-
larges the house membership the desks
must be taken II and benches sub
stituted such as they have in the Eng
fish house of commons.
Would Have Been Chief Justice.
Elihu Root would have been chief
justice of the supreme court if the
New York legislature had been Re-
publican. AS it is, Root will remain In
the senate. 1t is not q disappointment
to him, but rather a relief. 1t is true
hat he would have liked the honor,
but he would not have relished tying
himself up to q perpetual grind for the
balance of his life.
Now that it is all over some doubt
is expressed as to whether Root could
have been confirmed, but 1t would
have been a strange thing for the sen
ate to refuse confirmation to one of it's
members. 1t refused to confirm an ex-
| senator when Grant named George Fl.
| Williams for chief Justice, but there
were reasons for so doing which were
not made public at the time nor since.

Nobody win ever know how many
boilers blew up In the United States

the trouble may learn that at least
$50 of them did. That is the rate
of an explosion for each sixteen
hours and six minutes in the year.
In those $50 boiler explosions 227

N California land is irrigated with
pump stations. In many instances
the water is lifted from a depth of
over 100 feet There is hardly a sage
brush fiat in this state that will not
produce water at less depth than in
the Southern California belt. Case
ine engines throughout California
have proven efficient to irrigate lands
where ditch water has not been avail
able. The same treatment could be
used in this state with good effect.

the neglected lands of Nevada with
the same amount of energy and mon

and without the high price that is
asked as in the Oregon case. Elec-
trio and other modes of irrigation
will soon be adopted throughout the
state which will furnish thousands
of acres to the settler that are now
considered useless.
The results at Vegas and the Par

SO many of the farmers were buying
of mail order houses. One old ranch
or being cornered the other day was
asked about 1t. The rancher told the
merchant that he could do better by
buying off the catalogue houses. He
then asked the farmer for his order
blank and did little figuring on it.
Why" he exclaimed al last, Il
could have saved you dollar ana six
bits on the bill, delivered at your
Kitchen, and done it right away

disgruntled as the merchant, why

How am to know? The mail order
people send me catalogue and tell
me how the goods look and how much
they cost, and some of them look
good to me- Why don't you do the
same?"
That was a hard rap. We wonder
how many merchants are losing mon
ey as well as business because they
do not go after it?-Reno Gazette.
