An Arab In the Rain.

"Those who are not accustomed to
rain are frightened by It," says q
writer. IT once saw an Arab rained
upon for the first time. he was alb.
jectly terrified and demanded to have
his passage paid from the country
Sicily-in which the dread phenomenon
occurred. He had been conveyed from
the Sahara, I think, by a European,
whose servant he was. and he evidently
thought his master was behaving abom'
inably to him In permitting him to get
wet BY the first steamer he returned
to his native desert, abandoning excel
lent wages and shaking the raindrops
furiously from bis slippered feet"

How the Democrats Economical.

They cut down the appropriations fol-
charitable, benevolent and educational
institutions nearly one-half. They made
no appropriation for free high schools
for the year 1912. This will necessitate
an emergency bill early in the next leg
islature for approximately $4,000
They referred twenty eight state psuper
bills, amounting to nearly $4,000, to
the next legislature. They referred
nearly one hundred other bills to the
next legislature, thus illustrating their
ideas of the application Of 'good bust
ness principles" They did no new con
struction worthy OF mention.
They called special session of the
Legislature which enacted just one bill
into law. This bill provided that the
secretary of state should furnish ballot
box for each voting precinct in the state
over 600 in number, with suitable lock
and key to each. These boxes were to
be sent by express, and the whole ex.
pense to be paid by the state. The bill
further provides that within twenty-fou
hours after an election the ballots cast
shall be sent to the secretary Of the
state and that the express charges shall
be paid by the town. IL q recount, oil
an examination Of the ballots, 10 desired
in any town a journey to Augusta will
be necessary at the expense OF the per-
sons whose interests are involved.
They passed an appropriation bill

book of 266 pages, printed 10 double
columns of very fine type. They then
drew their mileage and per diem and ad
journed.
The whole performance was apolitical
whistle, which cost the state for pri
maries, printing, elections and the
direct expenses of the legislature itself
about $4,000.
