A Cartoaraphio Curiosity.

Catherine de- Nedici once entertained
tho ambition Of acquiring both North
and South America as appendages to
her crown, and with that object In
view she dispatched a couple OF her
representatives to the scene OF opera
lions. The northern section Of the en-
terprise was committed to the charge
Of the queens favorite, Troilus dc
Mesgonez, who was adorned with the
title Of viceroy Of France and sailed
from Havre with a large feet, only to
be wrecked In the Atlantic. Another
favorite, Strozzi, was commissioned to
capture South America, but he was
no more fortunate than Mesgonez, tor
he was killed at the Azores. These
happenings, however, took a long time
to reach the ears Of Queen Catherine,
and in the meantime she nursed her
dreams and prepared a map on which
1.-The new world of the north" and 1.-THE
new world Of the south" figured as
colonies of France. This photographic
curiosity Is among the map treasures
of the National library in Paris.

During a sleepless night the Viziel

slave, Bedruddin Ejas, to bring him
sweets. The slave procured a copper
kettle heaped with many kinds of
fruits and sweets, and Mujjeduddin
began to eat.

the slave.
The vizier shrugged his shoulders.
These fruits are sweet-for the mo-

the sweetness Of which will endure
even unto the judgment day."
"Such fruits there are, my master" "
cried the slave and FASTENED toward
the Mesched Husa, where he awoke
the starving orphans in the house Of
Alvin and led them forth into the
room of his master. Overjoyed, the
famished children devoured the fruits.
"Look, oh, my MASTER" said the

Tho Name Of Rio do Janoiro.


Rio de Janeiro owes her name to the
accident Of a date and the mistake Of
her discovery. When Alphonso de
eouza, the Portuguese navigator, found
himself In the spacious bay he imagin-
ed he had found the mouth of a noble
river, and because the day happened
to be the list Of January, 1881, he
named the supposed river after the
first month of the year. The name
was not applied to the city that grew
up on the slopes Of the hills till many
years afterward. but San Sebastian,
the original name, is now almost for
eotten. Rio as a city purchases tho
beauty Of her site at the cost Of health,
for the giant ridges that form tho
beautiful background to the town: shut
out the breezes that might blow trop-
ical nuisances harmlessly to sea.-Lon-

who has been remiss or unsatisfac-
tory in his duty.
The system of voting for the COM
missioners - ingenious. twenty-five
electors may nominate candidate
by taking an. oath that he is quail
fed and a desirable man and that
they desire to vote for him.
The ballot contains the names OF
all the candidates in alphabetical or
der, followed by spaces marked for
first, second and third choice. The
voters mark fifteen crosses on the
ballot, Voting for five men as first
choice. five others as second choice
and five as third choice. However,
they may vote for third choice the
entire list after eliminating first and
second choice.
The majority of all votes cast elects
on the first choice. Then the votes
for the candidates, who are unsuc-
cessful in the first choice column and
are in the second choice column, are
counted to select the rest. II hVe
candidates have a majority OF first
and second choice votes are not
elected, the votes of the third choice
are counted with the stragglefs OF
the other two and the third choice
selections u.A out the five. The third
choice men are electet. by simple
majority. -.
The Spokane plan varies from all
others by making the contest a free
for-all and not designating the Office
sought. There were 81 candidates
at the beginning of the recent cam
paign. Three declined to make the
race and two withdrew just before
the election. It provides that candi-
dates must not spend more than $3.50
during the campaign, also making It
compulsory to submit an itemized
statement of expenditures, and no
paid workers, carriages or other con-
veyances are permitted on election
day.
Party lines are absolutely obliter-
ated and personalities are eliminated.
The candidate must take an oath that
he represents no political party in the
election nor any special interests.
Spokane did not win it's new gov
eminent without a series Of stubborn
ly fought battles. Late last fall May

draft was presented to the city coun'
Gil three months afterward, but the
ten representatives paid little or no
attention to 1t.
A petition, signed by more than
thirty per cent of the voters, was then
submitted to the council. This urged
the appointment of fifteen freehold
ers to formulate charter. The coun-
Gil granted the request after some
delay and eight business men, five
representatives of union labor and
two lawyers were selected. This
committee embodied in it's charter
plans in operation in the United
States and submitted its work to the
people, who adopted it by an over
Whelming vote at an election on De-
cember q, 1910.
Proceedings for Injunction were in.
stituted in the Spokane county super
ior court afterward. The people were
sustained, but that did not clear the
field. An appeal was taken to the
supreme court of Washington, the
six judges of which handed down q
joint opinion, UNFOLDING the legality
Of the charter election.

WAS pOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Bodies Of Kinney Brothers Found il
DRAINAGE Ditch.


Webster City. June 21.-As feared.
the drowning of Melvin Kinney in
drainage ditch near his farm proves
to have been double tragedy. as the
body Of the brother. William A. Kin
ney. has been recovered from the
water.
The bodies were lying close together
in about ten feet OF water. From all
indications one Of the men had gone
in bathing. Being unable to swim and
getting into water over his depth, his
brother had jumped into the water
and in trying to save the sinking
swimmer, was himself drowned. This
deduction was made from the fact that
one man was fully dressed, even to his
shoes. while the other had on merely
an old shirt and pair OF overalls, leav-
ing the rest Of his clothes on the bank.
or course it is possible that just the
reverse happened-that the man fully
clothed fell into the water and the
other brother tried to rescue him, but
the exact facts will never be known,
as no one witnessed the accident The
bodies were found early this morning.
but it is surmised that the men were
drowned last night.
The Messrs. Kinney We're apparently
about 25 and % years of age. They
were farming a piece together and
patching. According to the neighbors,
their relatives reside near Winterset.
