New York customs inspectors who
greeted arriving passengers from the
liner Caronia we're somewhat sur
prised in examining the trunk of a
tall, quiet appearing first cabin pas
senger, to find nothing except shoes.
Anything else in this trunk 2"

"Are you in the shoe business?"
"No," said the passenger, casual

CLEVER IDEA or "THE DUKE"
Many There Are Who Would Be
Pleased to Attend Such
a "Duek" Dinner.


Felix Hoendorf, known to half a
million Californians as '"the duke, +"
was at his club very late one Sunday
evening. If anyone does not know
"the duke" he is very easy to iden-
tify whenever he is IN evidence. The
duke suggested that Jimmy Scanlon,
a well-known citizen of San Fran
cisco, give duck dinner.
"But the ducks are out of sea-
son." Jimmy protested. 'Well," said
the duke, in accents Teutonic, Eyou
invite that beautiful girl l see you
with and also invite me. When you
have paid the check, duck"
That's the duke. For further pur-
poses of Identification it might be
added it was he who, being brought
a platter of chicken fricassee, and
discovering that it was composed en-
tirely of the wings of the bird, said:
"Take that back to Mr.. Paulhan;
| don't like that aviation meat.'-

The lance has been ridiculed by
many military experts, on the ground
that it is out Of date and cumber+
some, but the weapon still has ita
advocates who point out its value i'm
shock tactics and in cavalry charges.
In Germany, for instance, the lanes
in the hands Of the Prussian Uhlan
remains formidable weapon.
Recently attention has been called
to the fact that the lance point often
makes too deep a wound for the shaft
to be Withdrawn quickly, and thea
therefore the lancer runs the risk of
having it wrenched from his grasp
in the charge. In view of this tho
cavalry in Germany have been en-
perimenting with a new kind of lance
carrying ball below the base of the
lance head. 1t is said that the new
arm is just as effective in disabling
an enemy and is free from many dis1
advantages.-Harper's Weekly.

Season Of Solitude During Formative
Period Best to Bring Men to In
teIlectual FruItIon.

Man, for his full development,
needs something more than meat
and drink. He needs something more
than even education and companion
ship. There are times when he needs
the solitude of the open spaces when
he needs to be left alone with the
lake or the ocean, the mountains or
the desert, to get at grips with the
twin realities--nature and himself.
1t is no accident that most of the
men who have moved the world.
from Mohammed to Washington.
have spent season of solitude in the
open spaces during the formative pc
Rod Of their lives.
It is no accident that the prophets
of mankind have come from the
borders of the wilderness, where the
line that divides the desert from
the town. may be passed at a step.
The cities have their inspiration.
The schools have their uses. But
while man remains man, he cannot
wholly dispense with the need of the
wide spaces where nature keeps her
college of humility.-Exchange.

NO PLACE FOR HITCHCOCK
Postmaster General the Victim Of HIs
Own Orders, Most Faithfully
Carried Out.

Frank II. Hitchcock, the postmas-
ter general Of the United States,
takes the deepest interest in even the
smallest details Of the postal serv-
ice. One evening he was at the
Union station in Washington, when
he decided to go into one Of the
railway mail service cars to see how
the mail matter was being handled.
Being tall man and very athletic,
he easily swung himself from the
platform into the car, but he did
not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practically
elected him to the platform below.
What do you mean by that?"
asked Hitchcock, Indignantly.
81 mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly.
Hitchcock has given us strict or
ders to keep all strangers out of
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

IRELAND's NATIONAL COLOR.

Now that the wearing of the
green" is no longer hanging mat
ter for Irishmen they seem inclined
to discard it altogether. Sir Ed
ward Burne-Jones is quoted as say
ing that Screen isn't a lucky color
for any Celtic creature to wear"
while it is remembered that Parnell
had positive superstitions against it.
Indeed, he was inclined to believe
that Ireland's bad luck was due to
her adoption of green as the national
color and he always looked forward
with pleasure to being in a position
to change it. And yet this may not
have been wholly a superstition.
Color is now recognized curative
force in medicine and it is conceiv-
able that concentration of national
sentiment upon a particular hue
might have its effect upon tempera-
ment.

Money Hard to Get.

In its report to tho territorial legl5
lature Of 1892 tho commission urged
the appropriation of 100000 for the
construction Of portion of the build
ing that it might be available for oecu-
papey by some Of tho territorial ofhce
and iu addition an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the improvement and main
tepancc Of tho grounds. The legislature,
however, declined to appropriate any
money for construction purposes, but
did appropriate $1,000 for improve
ment and maintenance OF the grounds,
$4,000 Of which went for the payment
Of deficit incurred during the preced'
ing two years.
Tho territorial legislature Of 1894 ap,
propriated $4,000 to assist the poor OF
Salt Lake by giving work TO the unem-
ployed in making excavations for the
east wing of the proposed state capitol
Architect Proudfoot donated his serv'
ices in drawing the lines for the ezca,,
yatiou in conformity to the plans of
Architect Myers. During this session
bill was introduced providing for
bond issue Of $4,000 for tho com.
meucem Of work on tho capitol
building. The bill, however, failed OF
passage.
With but limited funds at its dis
posal Tho territorial capitol commission
continued to improve the grounds until
January, 1896. when tho FIRST state leg
islaturo transferred the control OF inc

Moran's Bid Accepted.

Tho contract for the excavation and
grading of the capital grounds was
awarded to P. j. Moran. The contract
involves the removal of approximately
10000 cubic yards of earth for the ex-
cavation and the use Of this earth in
grading the west slope Of Capitol hill,
Mr.. Moran IS bid was 10 cents per cubic
yard, much less than the estimate or
any other bidder. The cost OF the
work will be about $10,500, The con.
tract provides for the completion of
the work by April l, 1913.

Two electric elevators arc to be in

$4,000 Appropriated.

The original capitol law of tho terri
tory In addition TO providing for a
capitol commission carried an appro-
priation Of $4,000. The law directed
the capitol commission to grade. fence,
improve, ornament, beautify, lay off,
and make such other necessary improve
ments in the grounds as would make
them a fit location for proposed
capitol building. The commission was
likewise empowered to make tests OF
native stones believed to be suitable
plans, specifications, estimates aud
other data TO be submitted to the next
session of the territorial legislature.
The capitol commission was or
ganized soon after the legislature had
created it and it Immediately set about
the performance Of the duties with
which it was intrusted. In 1890 the
board submitted to the state legisla-
ture detailed report Of its work
during the preceding two years. Tho
board had enclosed the grounds with
au ornamental wrought iron fence, had
supplied the grounds with water and
had begun the construction Of res
ervoir.
A prize Of $50 had been awarded to
Havilapd g. Seligman for the best land
scape plans of the grounds. The
grounds had been cleared Of sage brush
and underground, aud plowed and made
ready for the planting of lawns and
sbrubbery. The commission had plant.
ed 7S0 trees. Under the direction Of
the commission Prof NJ. f. Jones made
chemical tests Of about twenty samples
Of Utah building stone.
The commission originally decided on
capitol TO cost SJ,000,0 900, but this was
reduced to $1.000.00O with the idea OF
providing for the immediate copstruc-
tion of one wing of the building to pro-
vide accomm odations for territorial Of
fees. The plans or T.. e, Myers Of De-
troit were adopted by the board and
then submitted for approval to the leg
islature Of 1890. Some changes in ven
tilation and heating were suggested by
the legislature and after these changes
in the plans were made, Myers received
an award Of $500 for tho bost plans re-
ceived in tho architectural competition.
The legislature Of 1890 could not see
it's way clear to provide for an appro-
priation for the construction of the cap
itol and conteptcd itself with appro-
! printing $4,000 for The 'malntenance
| of the grounds and tho completion OF
the water system. During the succeed
ing two years tho commission continued
tho work Of beautifying tho grounds,
