Money in a Tea Pot.

One of the farmers east of town,
whose home was destroyed by the
storm, had considerable money in the
house at the time-about 5000. The
money was kept in a tin box in the
kitchen cupboard. After the storm
the tin box was found in the debris
of the home empty. The farmer was
greatly distressed, fearing he had lost
the money, but it was later found in
a teapot, also in the debris, every cent
and the lid was nicely closed and
the money perfectly dry and I'M
harmed The farmer stoutly asserts
tnat the storm deity transferred the
money from the box to the pot And
what do you know about that?-Har-

SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY.
It Is a True Weasel, but Is Only About
Six Inches Long.

The smallest carnivorous animal in
the world is an American weasel which
IS numerous in northwest Canada and
Alaska and is occasionally seen about
the great lakes. 1t is Il true weasel.
but only six inches long, with Il tail
only one inch in length. All its upper
surface is in summer pure lumber
brown, but the throat, abdomen and
inside of the legs are pure white. and.
unlike any other weasel, it has no black
at the end of the tail; hence, although
the animal turns white in the north in
winter, it does not show the black
tipped tai! which characteriZes an er.
mine pelt. and so it is not sought b.!
trappers and fur traders.
This fact with its small size and Sc.
cretive life, has made its habits very
little known, but they seem to be much
like those of other weaSelS. 1t feeds
on insects. which it finds alive in SUM
mer and in winter digs out of rotten
logs; upon small birds, etc, but lives
mainly on mice. These IT, can follow
into their narroweSt hobs and run

MALFEASANCE IN OFFICE.

Willis Moore, who has been at the
head of the weather service at Wash
ington for number of years, was re,
moved from Office a few days ago by
President Wilson, his resignation,
rendered the president, being refused
This drastic treatment of the weather
man naturally caused considerable
comment.
Willis Moore became an aspirant
for the position of secretary of agri-
culture after Mr. Wilson's election,
but did not seem to impress the pres
ident sufficiently to secure the appoint
ment 1t seems that he is charged
with malfeasance in Office and it is on
this account that his resignation is
not accepted. The matter will be re.
ferred to the department of justice to
investigate and to find out whether the
law has been violated or not. Willis
Moore has had charge of the weather
service ever since it was established
and yet he has not been regarded as
person eminently qualified to fill the
position.
1t will be remembered that four
years ago at the time Mr.. Taft was in
augurated president, the weather
bureau predicted on the evening of the
third of March that the next day the
weather would be clear and fine for
the Inauguration. To show how mac
curate the representation as made by
the weather bureau, was about 10
o'clock on the night of the third, a
heavy snow storm set in and contin-
ued until 10 o'clock the next day, the
weather being cloudy and disagreeable
all day for those who took part in the
inaugural procession. A scientific ex-
PLANTATION was attempted to be made
as to how the mistake occurred, but it
was generally regarded that the wealth
er bureau was not in perfect working
order.
1t will be unfortunate for the repu-
tation of Mr.. Moore that he goes out
of office under cloud, as he has
reached the age where there will be
little opportunity to redeem his for
mer standing.

believed that Clark would ever consent
to bury the Ratchet. Bryan's state
ment in substance is that he never
doubted but what Clark was a good
progressive democrat Clark says
that Bryan did him the greatest in
jury he ever received, but that for the
good of the party he will let the mat
ter drop, and so the two giants of the
administration have decided to not de-
stroy each other and to save their
strength to fight for the party. 1t
must have been a bitter pill for Clark
to swallow, for from political stand
point Bryan could have done him no
greater injury and the motive which
prompted it did not seem entirely
praiseworthy.

Washington News Exchange Letter.

Washington, d. c., April 17-Pres
ident Wilson is pleased with the re-
ception that has been given to the
new tariff bill. He does not expect
it's passage to result in a great re-
duction of the cost of living. Con
sumers will get the benefit on sugar
at once, as that industry is in shape
for active competition as soon as the
duty is taken off. He does believe
that the new law will gradually break
down the combinations which stand
between producers and consumers
which artifcially keep prices high. He
is convinced that the reductions will
not be so great as to seriously en-
barass any legitimate business, and
that the removal of the duty will not
be ruinous to the wool industry be-
cause the price of wool is about the
same abroad. u
In financial circles there is much
discussion as to the probable extent
of business reaction. 1t is said that
trade is in sound position with no
speculative buying, the crop outlook
is good and that the Wilson attitude
is progressive rather than radical.
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, is urg-
ing the advisory selection of a
judge to be recommended for ap-
pontment as district Judge of that
state, in which vacancy exists.
There are twelve candidates and it is
feared by democrats that an advisory
election might result in republican,
Republicans in the senate are con-
sidering whether to make a fight
against Wilson's nominations to fill
the 1900 vacancies caused by demo-
cratic opposition to Taft's appoint
ments. Senators Root and Townsend
are trying to get their colleagues in
line, but many oppose retaliatory &C.
ton, seeing already enough trouble
ahead.
The sundry icvil bill containing
provision eXempting labor unions and
cooperative associations of farmers
from prosecution under the Sherman
antitrust act, and vetoed in the last
congress on that account by Taft, has
been reintroduced in the house. 1t is
understood that President Wilson is
not opposed to this measure, and if
the attorney general holds it is con-
stitutional, it is probable that it will
be passed.
Postmaster General Burleson has
held conference with officers of the
National One Cent Letter Postage as
ISOLATION on reducing the latter rate
to one cent for two ounces. A CON-
prehensive investigation of the whole
subject is planned.
The twenty-second Continental Con-
yress of the Daughters OF the Ameri-
can Revolution is being held in Wash
