Sir ernest Snackleton, who has
been stalking the South Pole, for
which he was knighted, was the guest
of honor at a luncheon given by the
Pilgrims in New York. Speaking of
a piece of geographical ignorance
which he had encountered, he said
''Tt was incredible. 1t reminded ne

One of Governor Foss' old Massa-
chusetts friends recalled to him the
other day one of his early defeats
in politics. well, there were some
compensating features in the fight -
said the governor. Reminds me of
the old farmer out in Iowa A live
stock dealer arrived in town and
bought all the hogs in the vicinity
except from one old fellow, who held
out for a higher price than the deal
er was willing to give. The old man
said he'd rather drive his hogs over
the road to Chicago than to accept
the price offered by the dealer. He
did drive his hogs over the road.
OF course, they lost weight, and in
addition to that, when he got to Chi
cago the bottom had dropped out OF
the market, and he had to sell his
hogs for a great deal less than he
could have disposed of them for at
home His neighbors gleefully awaited
his return home, and when he step
ped off the train they began to josh
him about his poor trade. He listened
for a while and then said: We'll,
there's this advantage had over you
fellows: had the company of the
hogs all the time. Boston Globe.

Topeka. Kan.--Belligerency spread
to the house and one-slded fist fight
took place on the floor between Robert
Stone of Shawnee and A. II. McCor,
mick of Crawford. The controversy
arose over the bill separating the Pitts
burg branch OF the normal school from
the normal at Emporia. This bill was
killed in the house by a scant total
of two votes to spare.
When the result of the vote became
known Mccormick called Stone a liar.
He declared the Shawnee county nah
had agreed at the beginning OF the
session to support the separation bill
If Mccormick would support him for
speaker. Stone had taken a leading
part in the fight against the bill and
had voted to kill it. She Shawnee
county man Informed Mccormick that
he was mistaken, that he (Stone) had
made no such promise. Then MeCor-
mick leaped upon stone and struck
the latter four or five times with his
fists. Stone did not attempt to strike
back, afterward declaring the Pitts
burg man too old an adversary to
strike.
Mccormick, however, tainted his OPP
ponent and dared him to strike Mem

OPEN sALLor sn.L KILLED.
There Was Call Of the House Rut Il
Didn't Save Il.


The bill introduced by H. s. Thomp-
son Of Reno county, calling for the
open ballot at primary elections, was
killed in the house on final passage
but not without the hardest fight that
has been put up this session. The fin
al vote was SO for the bill and SO
against 1t and the friends of the meas
ure gave up only after they had de-
manded and secured four separate
calls Of the house and after every abb
sent member who could be found was
dragged in.
This bill provided that at primary
elections each voter should be given
the ballots Of all the different parties;
that he should vote one and fold 1t
and all the others, putting the voted
ticket into one box and the others into
another. It was recommended for pas
sage in the committee Of the whole.
It Is the same bill that was offered in
the way of an amendment to the pri-
mary election law when the bill was
under consideration four years ago.
When 1t was apparent that the bill
had failed to secure constitutional
majority Mr.. Thompson moved that a
call of the house be granted. The
doors were locked and the sergeants1
alarms were sent out to find absent
members Several were brought in
and voted. Those who opposed the bill
moved that the call be raised. Am
other vote was brought in and another
call of the house demanded, This pro-
cedure was followed out four times,
but finally Mr.. Thompson saw it would
be impossible to secure a sufficient
number Of votes to pass the bill and
he moved that the call be raised. 1t
was raised when there were only SIS
votes for the bill and it died then and
there.

Figure on Close Margin.

In compiling their estimates annually
the Distrit authorities ascertain the es-
timated amount of local revenues for the
coming year. make certain deductions i'm
Tefunding the District debt and liquidat-
ing other obligations. and then look to
Congress to appropriate sum equal to
the amount that remains.
The Commissioners do not estimate up
to the exact amount of estimated reve-
nues, and If. in the preparation of the
l313 budget, they have come to within
$500 or Whereabouts of the limit they
have allowed themselves a smaller mar
gin than is usually the case.
The announcement that the estimates
have been completed does not mean that
the figures are to be transmitted imme
diately to the President. There still
remains Il large amount of work to be
done in the writing of paragraphs ex-
planning certain items and. finally, type
writing the whole so that it may prop
erly be transmitted to the President
