The American bum has once in
Mexico caused the American govern
ment to be involved. Mike Green"
an INDECENT American, was rounded
up with a bunch OF poems and sent to
the Vale Nacional. at that time a con-
vict colony. There he died, and Gen
eral Powell Clayton, the American
minister at that time, started an in
vestigation which led to the arrest of
Candido Hernandez, a wealthy tobac-
co planter. The latter was in prison
in Tuxtepec and Oaxaca for several
years. and an indemnity of 100000
was paid Green's sister.
During the recent revolution many
Of the hobo element became soldiers
Of fortune in the Madero army and
rendered valuable aid to the cause of
the insurrecto leader. When the war
was over they drifted back to the
old haunts. and today you will find
them telling their stories of hard luck
to whosoever will lend a willing ear.

His Half.-Mike and Pat by trade
were hard working brickmasons, but
good attendants at church. The cler-
gyman's Sunday sermon topic at
which both attended, happened to be
temperance.
The next day, while out visiting 9TH
er members Of his parish, the clergy
man spied Mike coming out OF sa-
loon with a pail Of beer. The clergy
man In surprise, asked him If he had
forgotten his Sunday sermon appeal
on temperance Mike said he remem-
bered. but it was customary to get
pail Of beer at lunch time. The cler-
gyman talked to him awhile, and soon
had the best of his good nature. He
then said:
Mike, If you are a man, you will
empty The contents OF that pail in the
gutter"
He was just about ready to comply
with the good mans wishes when II
struck him that half of the beer be-
longed to Pat. Turning to the minis
ter, he said:
Pat is waiting for me. and paid for
half of this beer, and my half Is at
the bottom."-Mack's National Month

POWERS OF A PRESIDENT.
Limited Only by Short Tenure and
Frequent and Regular Rotation.

Now let us recapitulate these powers
control of the army and navy and
Federal police, possession of the mon
ey, control of the judiciary, Of the
dissemination of information and OF
diplomacy-and all entrusted to an Of
fetal who is independent Of congress
No such powers are possessed by eth
er the British or French premier even
with the subordination Of their par
liaments. What more than this would
any man require to enable him to dc
what Cromwell did, what Napoleon
did. what julius Caesar did?
And what saves the country from
any such catastrophe? First and
chiefly the moral force of the constitu-
tiOn, of the traditions based on the
Declaration Of Independence and on the
precepts and practices of 1876 years;
second. the moral conviction that the
people Of the United States are so at
tached to their form of government as
to make it certain that any attempt to
radical and violent change would be
met by uprisings so vigorous as to
crush instantly the petty force which
a dictator might depend on. And
among the chief foundations Of that
conviction is the hitherto unbroken
rule that no man may serve as presi-
dent for more than eight years or for
more than four years without a re-
election.
If we accepted the doctrine that a
president might remain in office in
definitely or for life, as suggested by
the Outlook and in the question which
opened this article, wherein would our
chief executive differ from the German
emperor? The name of the office might
not be the same, but names count for
little. Emperor or imperator was the
respected and popular title of a repub-
lican office long before it was adopted
by monarch. King in early Saxon
meant only chief or able man. Car
and kaiser are adaptations of the name
Caesar. Cromwell was we'll content to
exercise absolute power under the title
of protector. An American monarch
might continue to call himself presi-
dent. What would it matter so long
as the power was the same? And the
power is already there, has always
been there, limited only by short ten
ure and frequent and regular rotation
Can we afford, for the sake Of honor
ing any man. however, much we may
admire him, to remove even the least
much less one OF the greatest. of the
restraints on a presidents powers.--

6T School teachers declare that chill
dren have no intelligent comprehension
Of grammatical rules till they are al
least IL years old. The conversation
Of Hetty, who is s, reported in the
Lutheran, tends to confirm the state
ment.
Hetty's uncle, who is a school teach
er, met her on the street one beautiful
May day, and asked her if she was
going out with the Maying party.
No, l amt going"
"Oh, my dear" said her uncle, you
must not say, I amt going You
must say, I am not going" and he
proceeded to give her little lesson In
grammar: You are not going. He is
not going. We are not going. They
are not going. Now can you say al
that, Hetty?"
"Of course, can," she replied, max
ing a courtesy, There amt anybody
going"

son. Some make the bodies, others the
heads and still others the arms, hands,
etc. BY this division the work Is done
much quicker and better.
The heads are ;nfst moulded, and
when sufficiently dry the eyes are cut
out by a skilled worker with very
thin, sharp knife. This Is extremely
delicate work, because all Of the SOCK
cts have to be Of uniform size or the
eyes do not fit. After being burned
the heads are painted, waxed or glaz-
ed, depending on the material from
(which the heads are made. The arms,
legs and hands are produced in sim
liar but simpler manner, as the paint
ing consists only in giving the neces-
sary flesh color. while the heads
must have rosy cheeks, red lips and
dark or light eyebrows, depending on
the color of the eyes and the max
ing and attaching Of the wigs involve
a number of other processes.
The doll industry is now commenc-
ing to make the character doll In
restricted numbers. The model is
made by an artist and the molds are
then copied from this model. The
painting Of these dolls is done with
especial care, and, consequently, their
price is considerably higher than that
of the commoner type Of doll.
The assembling Of the different
parts of the dolls is often very COM
plicated. The best jointed dolls have
stout elastic cord on the inside, to
which the movable parts are attach
ed. A special branch Of the Industry
Is devoted to the making Of dresses
and hats. The last Partisan styles are
copied in dressing the larger sized dolls
and the creations turned out compare
very favorably, in miniature,with the
original-Consul-Ge General Frank Dill

HIGHEST DAM
In the World Will Be Built in Idaho
By the Government.

In the World Will Be Built in Idaho
BY the Government.
The highest dam in all the world is
to Sbe built by the United States gov
erhment in Boise canyon, Idaho. The
dam, which will be located about twen-
ty miles above the city of Boise, will
be 351 feet high, 25 feet wide at the
top and 1,O60 feet long.
This wonderful dam will be thrown
across a narrow place in the high
canyon and will hold back enough wa
ter to irrigate 250,0o0 acres of desert
land. 1t will take three or four years
to construct the masonry. Bed rock
has been found at a depth of 80 feet
below the surface Of the river, and
when completed the structure will oc-
cupy an acre Of ground.
1t is only by storing the flood water
In such dry sections Of this country
that the desert land can be reclaimed
and made to grow its share Of crops
When this dam Is completed the wa
ter will be drawn off into feeder canals
through gates located near the top OF
the dam. AS the level Of the water is
lowered gates lower in the dam will
be opened, so that the gates will never
be operated under an excessive head
of water. The water pressure will be
enormous, but modern hydraulic en-
gineering is capable Of handling such
a giant task. Even should the Boise
river be visited by a great flood 1t will
not destroy the dam. Spillways locat-
ed at each end of the dam will carry
away 10000 cubic feet Of water a Sec
ond, and II necessary, water can run
over the face Of the dam itself to a
depth of from two to four feet without
injuring the structure itself.
But water is of little value unless II
can be applied direct to the parched
earth and not in every case can it be
handled by gravity alone. Certain Sec
tions around Boise can be irrigated by
a canal system. dependent upon the
natural flow Of the water, but all the
higher levels must be fed by an elab-
crate pumping system. These pumps
will be operated by electric motors and
the electric current will be obtained
from the stored-up water.
The dam will be pierced by a pen
stock, which will carry the water un-
der enormous pressure to the water
turbines, which in turn will drive pow
erful electric generators. This electri-
cal energy will be transmitted over
copper wires to the various pumping
stations and fed to the motors as de-
sired. If there is any excess power II
can be readily sold in the city for
manufacturing purposes. - Electrical

Not Hot Enough.-Mr. Justice Nc
Kenna of the United States supreme
court, took up golf a time ago, and
played at it at the Chevy Chase links
near Washington.
He was practicing one day, and
there was nobody with him except his
caddie. He teed up his ball, made all
the preliminary waggles he could think
of and swiped at the ball. He missed
it a foot. He tried again, and this time
struck the earth eighteen inches be-
hind the tee. He made another effort
and missed again.
Then he stopped, looked at the ball
and said, "Tut-tut! Tut-tut-tut!"
Mister" observed the caddie, you'll
never learn to play golf wit dem
words,"

MOTHER ARRIVED TOO LATE.

Little Rock, July 23.-An interest ing story developed in the petition that was submitted to the governor for the pardon of Albert Ary, of Law renee county. Ary had been convict ed of forgery and sentenced to term of two years. It was charged that he had forged his mothers name to a check for $25, which was cashed His mother was in Missouri at the time.

AFTER WILD CAT CONCERNS.

Little Rock, July 23.-Robert Mar tin, one of the representative-elect from Pulaski county, contemplates legislative assault upon the peddlers of stock in wild cat mining companies or other industrial or financial con- cerns notoriously long on promises and short on realization. Companies of this character, organized in Ari- Zona or other states with a low standard of corporate policy, have dur ing recent years flooded the state with worthless stock on problematic gold and copper mines in the Far West and no one has yet been reported who has ever gotten his money back, much less the tremendous dividends promised.
 MT. Martin, who is a son of the late Chancellor Thos. B. Martin, who pro- vide that the State Auditor or some other constituted authority, shall pass upon foreign corporations entering the state, and forbid them to. sell stock whenever he consider them wild cat. In this manner he believes that he will be able to protect the people from the plausible arguments advanc- ed by the sellers of beautifully litho- less mines.
