way and asked them II they had seen
Il little. old man. with a short tailed
dog and short gun. The men an
swered that they had seen a little man
with the dog and gun. but asked him
how he could give such exact dcscrip-
ton OF the thief he had never seen.
The Indian said that he could tell that
the man was small because he had
hcaped stones up to stand on TO reach
the vcnison. II know that the man IL

read to the legislature. This message
will, it is understood, 60 into details
and lay before the legislature an out
line Of his ideas in regard to state
government and his recommendations
as to legislation.
Reforms States Business.
He has been making a careful study
of state business for a year, and has
acquired a thorough knowledge OF
these affairs that will enable him to
get down to brass tacks right off the
bat in his first message.
1t is understood that Mr.. Goodrich
will appoint military staff. He points
out that a staff entails no expense on
the state, because 1t carries no sal
aries, and all of the members Of the
staff furnish their own uniforms and
equipment. The governors staff is
purely an honorary military institution
which has no authority or power.
Will Demand Efficiency.
Mr. Goodrich has in mind to inject
efficiency and economy in the admin
istration of the business of the state.
One of the things he has in mind is
the abolition of the OIL inspection bu-
reau, in order to get rid Of bureau

that has been nothing more than a
political asset for the party in power.
He proposes to combine the oil inspect
ion department with the pure food and
drug department, where, he. believes,
it can be properly handled with great
saving to the state.
Abolishes Fish Bureau. 1
He proposes, also, to abolish the fish
and game commissioner and his de-
partment, which. like the oil inspection
department, has been a political affair.
The work of that department will be
given into the hands of some other de-
partment where it can be managed
more economically.
Mr.. Goodrich has announced that he
will not have anything to do with the
appointment of help for the state in
stitutions. He proposes to appoint the
boards Of trustees and put it up to
them to employ all of the help in the
management and work of these institu-
tions.

the death Of Emperor Francis Joseph
and the ascension Of Charles Francis
Joseph win result in renewed mill

character. The dead monarch, by rea-
son of his age and his infirmaties, has
taken no more than passively active

The new ruler has been actively en-
gagged on the various fronts where the

operating during the last two years.

Peel off Your Freckles

To remove freckles, blotches or any
complexion difficulty, the best thing
to do is to remove the skin itself This
is easily and harmlessly done by the
application of ordinary mercolized
wax The wax peels off the defective
outer skin, little each day, gradually
bringing the second layer Of skin to
view. The new skin is beautifully
soft, clear, white and young looking.
Just procure an ounce of mercolized
wax at any drug store and use like
cold cream.-Adv.
