Athletic MOSQUITOES.

Singapore is on the Malay peninsula,
that shoe tongue that hangs down
from the southeast corner of India. A
Singapore mosquito will lie slothfully
around all day. not turning a hand,
but the moment it sees you retire for
the night and pull down the bed net
ting it leaps to it's feet, trembling with
eagerness. They will pass up thou
sands of Chinese and Malays q few
blocks away, sleeping without cover
of any kind, to come and work and
plan the whole night through to get
just one taste Of white meat. Their
persistence is wonderful. An ant in
comparison to Singapore mosquito Is
a happy-go-lucky creature, with no
thought Of the morrow. Here in the
luxurious tropics mosquitoes grow to
splendid proportions, perfectly formed
and splendidly muscled, and In any
catch-as-catch-can conflict can defend
themselves against all Corners, ire
spective Of nationality. In a clinch
they have a way of balancing on their
tails and leaping on to their opponent
and tearing him with their hind feet
after the manner of the cornered Aus
tralian kangaroo. - Homer Croy in
LeSlie'S.

A. o. Moreaux, editor of the Rock
County Herald, and E. H. Garfield,

A. O.. Moreaux, editor of the Rock
County Herald, and E. H. Garfield,
lawyer, promoted a mass convention
of voters of Rock county to protest
against the direct primary law. Nor
eaux's paper said there were "abOut'
one hundred and twenty-five present.
Mr.. Garfield opened the meeting and
gave the primary law a terrible grill
ling" Senator S.. B. Nelson aid a.
G. Finke spoke in favor of the direct
primary. Canfield's resolutions were
adopted, however, and in due time
will no doubt make their appearance
before the legislative committees as
a spontaneous outburst from a long
suffering people. The force with which
this "bunch of Rock" was thrown will
not harm the primary law, we are
thinking. When the primary law is to
be amended, it should be done by its
friends and not by men who believe
direct nominations spell anarchy. We
always had the idea that Ex-senator
Garfield was Of progressive type,
but since reading two long letters he
has written on the direct primary law
we cannot so classify him.

One Reason for Invading Mexico.

Those Doubling Thomases who
hitherto have been unable to see the
necessity or advisability for this coun-
try's spending a billion dollars, and
sacrificing tens of thousands Of lives
in conQuering Mexico, may be con-
vinced by the announcement that the
new mining law is about to be put
into effect in that country. A strik-
ing feature of this law, according to
the press dispatches, is it's provisions
for discouraging large holdings of un-
developed claims for purposes of ex-
ploratiOn and exploitation. The old
custom OF holding everything in
sight, and holding the claims idle
while negotiating for their sale, is to
be broken up. 1t is estimated that
claims to the amount of $1,000, 900
owned by foreigners may be surrend-
cred under this law.
This is a matter for the American
to ponder. 1t has been the custom
in this country to give away the pub
lie domain, with it's mineral and tim
Der and it's water power, to any who
may ask. And it has been given them
not to use and develop, but to hold in
idleness while the growth Of popula-
ton and industry Of the country made
its owners fabulously wealthy. Are
Americans to have less rights in Mex
leo than in their own country. Is the
Mexicon peon to have rights denied
to the masses of the people in this
country? And all because we have
become such mollycoddles that we
are afraid to shed a little blood in
behalf of the divine right of Privilege
The Public.

What is your concession?" l ask

ooh, a lot of government timber
and land, and little piece of railroad
and some special dockage grounds and
privileges for other people to pay
good money on" said Mcfarland,
sticking a thumb in his vest and soft
ly blowing away cloud of cigar
smoke. ut will cost the company sew
Ell hundred thousand dollars, possibly
million, to carry out the project, but
we get, anyway, twenty-five million
out of the timber, and the little piece
of railroad and the dockage grounds
and privileges are a permanent in
vestment,' which ought to yield fifty
to hundred per cent a year hence
forth and forever on all the real
money put into them. No taxes to pay
special arrangements on that Not
bad, eh?"
"Well, no; not bad for you fellows.

mo one down there has money
enough said Mcfarland.
well, why does not their govern
ment carry out the project or tax you
enough to get back, say, the social
value of the thing, all the value be-
yond that of your actual labor and
whatever of real money you use?"
1--WE are not going to do any labor,
son. The Slaverians will do that;
even the bossing. Say, what partic-
ular variety of reform bug has been
singing you, recently?"

You know you and 1 have been over
these things before. But, Jim, look

there some day and just naturally re-
fuse to be despoiled in this princely
manner, that is to say princely for
you and your company, what them"
Refuse? Refuse, man" and Nc
Partland laughed boisterously. 'Why,
when once we get our grip establish
ed there, if they don't let us do just
as we please we will chase the whole
damned bunch of them into the sea-
But, Jim, that is their country, and
it is just possible that they have some

Their country? Their country?
Yes, and this is our country. What
do they amount to? How long do you
think it would take a few of our bat
tleships to bring them to their senses?

THE PRESENT AND THE PROMISE

On the last previous occasion when
I saw Jim Mcfarland, he was a triae
seedy. Today, he was resplendent
the bon homme fully restored, the dia-
monds replaced picture of sartorial
elegance Only we who know him
we'll think of him as "Jim MOZART
land" The rest of his rather large
world knows him as Col. James Nc
Partland, the colonel part of it being
a matter of courtesy, Of course, albeit
not in the least discouraged by the
recipient of the doubtful honor.
Mcfarland is promoter; not
merely an organizer or re-organiZer
of business, but a promoter and typ
ical. Hence the Kaleidoscope finan
cial varieties obtaining with him from
time to time. If he ever did an hon
est-to-God days work Of real prOduc
tive labor of any sort, neither his
friends nor his enemies ever caught
him at it. But he has acquired and
squandered three or four small for
tunes. Incidentally, he has also &C.
quired a wealth of cynicism and So
phistication; and he has squandered
whatever patrimony of proportional
sense, of 1aith in the integrity of his
fellow men, and in the virtue of wo-
men, and in the sense of justice, that
may have come to him.
"Got grand little project on, m
boy" said Mcfarland to me rather
patronizingly. "Over in Slaveria. Been
away for three or four months. Yes;
I was in New York for a fortnight;
and two or three weeks in London, you
know. rather guess your Uncle Dud-
ley is getting in touch with the real

Frozen Food In Siberia,

The markets Of Irkutsk, in Siberia,
are an interesting sight, for the prod
ucts offered for sale are in most cases
frozen solid. Fish are piled up in
stacks like so much cordwood, and
meat likewise. All kinds of fowl are
similarly frozen and piled up. Some
animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their legs
and have the appearance of being
actually alive, and as one goes through
the markets one seems to be surround
ed by living pigs, sheep, oxen and
fowls standing up. But, stranger yet,
even the liquids are frozen solid and
sold In blocks. Milk Is frozen into a
block In this way and with string
or stick frozen into and projecting
from It. This, it is said, is for the
convenience Of the purchaser, who Is
thus enabled to carry his milk by the
string or stick handle.

A New Food
For Thin Folks

All thin folks would like to in
crease their weight and their vitality
and have plump and well-rounded
bodies. 1t can be done most easily
with the assistance of proper food.
The proper food is HEMO.
HEMO is a pa1atable Matted Food
in powder form. More than Matted
Milk because it contains in addition
to all the food values of Matted
Milk, the full nutritive force of prime
beef together with the natural iron
to aid in making red blood.
Take HEMO regularly and you
will soon realize the great benefits
of this Food Drink.
Good for children as we'll as grown
ups.
Makes a delicious food drink by
simply adding water.
We suggest that you try a SOC
package with our guarantee of
satisfaction.
