CHIEF OF SECRET SERVICE
WILL NOT BE REMOVED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 27.-
There is one government official in
Washington not worrying over his job
because there will be a change in
administrations on Marchc 4. This
man is William ("Big Bill") Flynn,
chief of the secret service.
Flynn is safe for many reasons.
First, because the moment he is fired,
or any of the other assistant chiefs
in the service, the crooks all over the
country would begin counterfeiting
with a rush. While Flynn has not
held the office of chief of the secret
service very long, he is the most fear
ed man in the scret service today,
because his record in New York as
head of the secret service bureau at
that city made his name famous.
Flynn has an amazing knowledge Of
the counterfeiters, both those serving
time and those at liberty. He knows
the records, ages, and dispositions Of
all the country's celebrated crooks.

PIGS AND CHILDREN.

For the trifling sum Of a quarter
of dollar the life of young pig
can be insured against cholera in Kan
sas. Even at this low rate the in
surance companies are taking prac-
tically no risks. The state of Kansas
is manufacturing cholera serum on
a large scale. This enables every
farmer to vaccinate his pigs and to
immunize them against disease.
While the pigs of Kansas are en-
joying fairly long lives, babies are
dying in the slums of the cities in as
large numbers as ever. This has been
hard winter for children in Chicago,
despite all precautions and warnings
by the health department.
The fact of the matter is that all
warnings and precautions mean little
when the source Of disease is not cut
off. The source Of sickness in Chi
cago and in all other large cities are
the reeky tenements and dingy homes.
The great anti-disease serum in the
cities is the abolition Of the death
breeding tenement. Not until the
housing problem is squarely met and
remedied will the death rate among
children diminish to any vital degree.
Not until an anti-tenement serum is
invented will slum babies come into
the possession Of the same right to
life which Kansas pigs now freely en-
joy.-Chicago Tribune.

MARRIAGE IN MOROCCO.

In Morocco the wooing never pre-
cedes marriage-it follows. Often the
wife does not see the husband until
after she has been welded to him,
and it is only by chance that the hus-
band sees his wife or knows what she
looks like. When the wedding night
comes the streets before the brides
house are packed with people, while
servants pass among the throngs, of
fering refreshments. When the moon
rises-the bride is always carried to
her husbands home by moonlight
great negro woman makes her ap-
pearance, carrying rickety, white
washed box. Into this the bride is
squeezed. Squeezed is the word, for
in Moorish countries brides are fat
tened for their marriage just as pigs
are fattened for market. When the
bride has been pushed into this tight
box she is carried mourning through
the streets to her new home, where
she meets her husband for the first
time. After that comes the reception
and the congratulations of friends.
Would you like it if you could talk to
no one for three days? Yet that is
the fate of the Chinese girl who is
married. For three nights after the
marriage, the Chinese bride, veiled,
must stay awake and listen to the ban
terings, the teasings and jokes of some
girl friend who is there just on pur-
pose to make her laugh, cry, or any
thing else that will cause a sound. But
the Chinese bride must not allow her
voice to escape her. She must show,
by staying silent those three nights,
that she will be quiet wife. There
are seven reasons for which Chinese
may divorce his wife, and one of them
is talkativeness. In Russia, when the
groom goes to get his bride on the
wedding day, he finds himself con-
fronted by the girls brother, if she
has one. The brother is standing with
drawn sword, threatening the groom.
You shall not take her unless you
pay me WE'LL" the brother cries, and
the young man must pay before he can
take the girl to the ceremony. Then
during the ceremony, after the various
ring services-there are many of them
the bride presents the groom with a
whip she has made. He takes it and
strikes her gently with it, saying: ~
love thee as my soul; beat thee as
my serf. / am thy master. Thou art
to obey me-" The bride, after the re-
ception, must wear all the dresses in
her trousseau, one after the other.

WOMEN SPEND 242 DAYS
BEFORE DRESSING GLASS

One Partisan statistician Of author
ity has just given out the statement
that woman, from the time she is 8
until she is 10, spends 349,575 min
utes, or little more than 242 days,
before her mirror.
The girls of 15 to 26 years Of age
spent twenty-five minutes daily before
the glass! The Partisan evidently had
suffragettes in mind who have the
knack Of making rapid-fre toilets.
Can anyone imagine the modern girl
doing her hair, touching up her COM
plexion with powder, lipstick and eye
brow pencil in twenty minutes, and
once only per day?
Beyond doubt the average society
belle from Is to 80 years old spends
that much time at her dressing table
twice and more often three times =
day.
In the morning, II bound for shop
ping tour, she makes prolonged toi-
let, combing her hair with great pains.
The do" of coiffure takes all the way
from fifteen to thirty minutes, and
more often the longer time.
Then the girls whose complsxions
are the marvel and envy Of ali those
who gaze upon the soft pink and
whiteness Of the face are In . great
number of cases past masters Of the
powder puff, the eyebrow pencil and
the lipstick. The application Of .
beautiful complexion is not accom-
plished in a jiffy. 1t takes time and
patience. The fixing of jabots and
hats also take several minutes each
before shopping toilet is complete.
If there is an afternoon tea or
card party on hand the hair has to BE-
Strengthened, the complexion gone over
and hat adjusted. And for = dance
or theater the operations Of the morn
ing toilet have to be done over en-
tirely.
The statistician says that between
25 and 80, when woman spends .
haf-hour day at the toilet studying
her reflection. the highest average IL
struck, and as the years pass she
spends less and less time making her
self attractive. until, at the age Of 50,
only six minutes is needed for the
dressing Of her hair and powder ing
her face and adjusting her hat.

sOCIETY's PROBLEMS.

In Iowa the other day man in
court for refusing to support his wife
and three children was sentenced to a
year in Jail unless he consented to
provide for the family and was given
week to ponder the matter. At the
end of the seven days he was again
hailed before the hourt when the fol-
lowing brief dialogue ensued:
"Will you go to work or go to Jail ?"
asked the judge.
"I'll go to jail" answered the pris-
oner.

Here is a two-sided picture: For
1866 days this vagrant will be housed
and fed. In storm and cold and rain
he is assured of shelter. Turn the
picture over: The wife outside has
two children. Being woman and
probably already worn down by mis-
fortune she must work far beyond her
strength to buy food and roof for
her little ones. The chances are she
will fail, sickness will come and the
three will become public charges. All
this while the husband heaven save
the term-is being supported in what
to him will be luxury.
At any. rate, two children are be.
ing reared in a way that is not cal

Ham of Denver, in some respects SIM
liar to the methods employed in f.
nancing European small farmers on II
cooperative basis. The measure was
adversely reported by the committee
because of its peculiar provisions and
the belief that it would be unconsti-
tutional, but Mrs. Riddle succeeded in
having it referred to committee Of the
whole.
If it becomes law, counties will
have the right to vote bonds to the
amount of so per cent of their assess
ed valuation. This bond issue, bear
ing per cent interest, becomes a
loan fund upon which real estate
owners of the county may draw to
the extent of so per cent of the value
OF their own assessed land holdings.
Mrs. Riddle explained that the bill
was calculated to encourage land own
ers and discourage tenant farming,
and that its provisions would be of
especial help to homesteaders in the
dry land sections, who now are obliged
to pay high rates of interest. The
interest to borrowers as fixed in the
bill is 5 per cent and the feature of
it that is similar to the French loan
banks is that which requires borrow
ers to make, in addition to the inter-
est, payment of 2 1-2 per cent on
the principal each year. As long as
this 12 per cent is paid there can
be no foreclosure.
Under the provisions of the bill a
county having an assessed valuation of
$10,000,000 may create loan fund of
S5,000,000 through a mortgage upon
all the county's assessed property. 1t
is figured that at the end of the forty
year period the bond issue will not
only have been paid off, but there will
remain nest egg in the county treas
ury for another loan fund, if further
encouragement to farming is needed.

years ago.
And where would Colorado mining

Unquestionably with complete sur
vey that section of the state that has
been opened within recent times by

be discovered and the prospector, the
patron saint of the state, would take
on renewed faith and courage.
To assert that there are no mineral
deposits undiscovered in Colorado is
to state a foolish thing. That new
discoveries have not been made in
nearly a score Of years, beyond the
well established mining districts, is
not argument that mining has played
