In the Rhone valley. Switzerland. an extra ordinary ceremony is carried out every July. This is the choosing of a queen COW by the cows themselves. A larg numbe; of cows. over 200 al times. are assembled in field to choose their queen The queen COW is the one which is strong enough to fight all the other cows off the pasture and remain in possession of it herself. The owners of the cows are not allowed to encourage their beasts in any way The honor of owning queen COW is keenly coveted by the local herdsmen. and they do every thing they can in or der 60 turn their animal out winner. In their eagerness to bring their beasts fit and well on the day of battle many of the herdsmen feed them week or a fortnight beforehand on bread and wine. The cows descend from fight ing race and are always eager to have a scrap. The election of the queen cow often lasts the greater part of the day and is watched by crowds, who come fs tl1es scene from miles round.

Not. so long ago a. Lancashire road breaker sold his wife to another man and thought the transaction was per fectly legal because he had placed a halter round her neck, the end of which he put in the hand of the pur- chaser after the money, had been paid. This belief rises from the custom of olden days, when wives were actually led into the market place with halters round their necks and sold to the best purchaser. It was this custom which led to the humorous ditty which runs: "A jolly shoemaker, John Hobbs, he married Jane Carter; no damsel was smarter, but she was q tartar, Jane Hobbs. So he tied rope to her, Jane Hobbs. and like a lamb to the slaugh- ter to Smithf1eld he brought her; but nobody bought her. Jane Hobbs oh. who wants wife?' cried Hobbs; but somehow they tell us those wife trad ing fellows were all of them sellers like Hobbs. .''-London Speefntor.

Washington and a number Of newspaper
reporters and editors to attend the

MORSE SECLUDED

Former Bankers Enemies
Fear He Will Return to
Wall Street.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9-Secluded in his
apartments on West Fifty-eighth street,
Charles w. Morse today denied himself
to all callers. 1t was said by his doc
tor, A. i. Fowler, the former physi-
clan at the Atlanta penitentiary, whose
report of the financieT's serious Illness
started the movement which finally
ended In his release, that he was suf-
fering from the fatigue of his journey
northward and could not "be bothered
by visitors or messages
Reports that ne and Mrs. Morse
would sail secretly for Bad Nauheim,
Germany tomorrow, were heard with
out comment by the doctor and the
members of the family. Fowler con-
tinued to insist that Morse Is a badly
broken man and that he can never re-
turn 10 an active Business life.
Despite this assertion there was much
nervousness among many Wall Street
men who had aided In convicting
Morse. The report that he had told
close friends that as soon as he got his
health back he intended to get even,
filed these men with apprehension.
Morse is believed TO have some money
saved from the wreck of his numerous
enterprises. He has an intimate knowl-
edge of Wall Street methods which he
Is expected to use to crafty his de-
sire for vengeance II he ever regains

Of FOOD
WEIGHT LAW COSTS
BUYERS GREAT sum
Commissioners Urged to
Recommend Statute Re-
curing Uniformity.

Declaring that absence of n law on
the subject is costing the consumers of
The District thousands, If not millions
OF dollars annually, the League of
Consumers Friends. IN u letter re-
ccived today asks the Commissioners
10 recommend legislation compelling
manufacturers of food products to
market them in uniform packages bear
ing in printed figures The net weight.
The letter was referred to Col. w. G.
Haskell, superintendent of weights and
measures, who has long been an advo-
cate of a law applying not only to the
District, but to the nation, that will re-
quire a, uniform size forpackages used in
interstate trade.
",rhere can he no doubt" says ]. NJ.
c. Denly, chairman of the executil @
committee of the league, that absence
of legislation Of the character advo-
Gated. is costing the consumers of the
District OH flour alone. thousands If
not millions of dollars annually. Is
ditiCn should be allowed to exist?
'1hc honest dealer does not favor It,
and the consumer certainly has no de-
side to paw for that which he does not
receive. Certainly there should be some
wav to secure such legislation as is
necessary to put a stop to the evil re-
ferred to, and 1 appeal to you in the
name of the organization l represent
TO take such action as you may deem adj
visahle in order to secure the proper
legislation
'There is urgent demand, in the in
terest for fair dealing, for national
legislation that will require q uniform
size for packages used in interstate
trade" said Superintendent Haskell
After years of experience, l am con-
WINGED that all packages containing
food commodities should have marked
upon them plainly the net weight, and
] cannot understand why there should
be objection to SO doing on the part of
those interested in giving full weight
The packages are usually found to be
less than the purportod weight, the
cases of overweight being rare.
There has been considerable agita-
ton in favor of selling groceries. and
vegetables by weight. In one of the
large cities 400 of the leading grocery
stores inaugurated the plan, method
which is fair to both the dealer and
consumer. The consumer receives what
he pays for, which he frequently does
not in purchasing by dry measure from
the average huckster or a dishonest
dealer"
Consideration, 1t was said today, will
be given by the Commissioners to the
request of the league that they recon-
mend legislation on the subject.
Superintendent Haskell probably will
be called on for a report outlining in
detail his views on the necessity for
such a law.
