Senator Dimick, the sage Of Clacka.

armount of -gloritication ON account
of the passage of his measure which
abolishes the office of state immigra.
ton agent under the assumption that it
carries with it an appropriation Of $7l,.
600. As matter cf fact, the office
of state Immigration agent is purely an
honorary one and does not carry a
cent 5 worth of appropriation with,
either for salary or even travelling ex-
penses. 1t has nothing whatever to do
with the item in tine budget, approx
mating $4,000, which the immigration
commission might ask for for the en-.
suing biennium (but which it has NOT
asked fo), as this sum, or any othcl
sum, if it should be appropriated, would
be left entirely within the discretion Of
the immigration commission for dis.
bursement, and the immigration agent
merely mas supervisory jurisdiction over
the publications that are authorized by
the commission, and his labors are con.
tributed to the state absolutely graf
uitously.

HE WOUND UP THE RIBBON
New York Hotel Guest Found 1t Led
to Very Much Embarrassed
Young Woman.

A man who could not possibly break
in the middle was sauntering slowly
away from the cashiers window at
a hotel in New York when suddenly he
caught sight Of something blue lying
on the floor. He stopped, but could
not get down far enough. A bellboy
saw what he was after and picked
up the end Of a piece Of narrow rib
bon and gave it to him.
More than the usual number of
chair warmers were sitting III the
lobby at the time, and soon they and
the clerks were watching the stout
man. He fingered the piece OF rib
bon ii SORT Of preoccupied fashion
and soon found that it led down the
corridor. He did not know it, but at
the other end was 6 young woman.
AS she walked the ribbon seemed to
grow longer.
Finally the stout men turned and
began to roll up the ribbon Soon ne
noticed where he was being led, and
by the time he reached the elevator
he was able to offer handful to the
woman who stood there. With a very
red face and a hurried glance down
she grabbed it, and then the elevator
door mercifully opened and swallowed
her from the gaze Of the tittering spec.

BEES AS WARS MESSENGERS
New Idea With Others Proves That

News that will be of interest to al;
Hague has discovered a secret long
cherished in the war department-the
use Of bees as messengers.
No longer will the aide-de-camp
spur his staggering horse through
shot and shell TO carry the message
to the front. Instead, he viii don his
gloves and mask, and, going to the
portable beehive back Of headquar-
ters, seize enc OF the faithful little
insects and send the weli-traiued
messenger, through the air.
