 4 Phenomenon
 A marvellous, almost unbelievable discovery was ade in the committee of the WtlOlt OI lilt HOuSt. u IS Willotl parallel in Arizona records. It is an item, or rather two of them, in the general appropriation bill carrying something like $6,000 which nobody claims or wants. The items relate to the investigation of the duty of water and the investigation of the underflow of water. The appropriation committee was in doubt whether the state en- gineers office or the university should be made the recipient of this approp- riation. It turned out from the dis closures made yesterday, that the state engineer had suggested saving it off on the university, and spokesmen for the university made the startling state ment that that institution, which had never been known to evade or sidestep an appropriation, large or small, did not want it. MT. Flake observed that this would be good time to cut out an appropriation which nobody wanted, which it appeared. had never resulted in any benefit to tthe state and which it appeared had been made biennially only out of legislative habit

HARD WORK FOR CUPID.
Roumanian Farmers Try to Keep Their
Sons From WedIock.

The Roumanian farmer doesn't think
much of matrimony. A bachelor hasn't
missed much, In his opinion. And
when his son gets the marrying bee
buzzing in his bosom the Roumania
dad is apt to take hickory club and
beat it out of the young mans system.
That's why the Roumanian youth
when he is in love never ,confides the
happy secret to his father. He goes
and tells his mother, for women still
believe in love and marriage, although
they lead from the altar to the, wash
tub. But the father has faced the mule
heels and the plow handles so long in
his hard. struggle to feed the hungry
mouths opened to him by marriage
that he has forgotten he was once a
lover signing lovers tales. He is about
as much in favor Of state wide matri-
mony as a sick boy is in favor Of cas-
tor oil.
So the son tells his mother. The
mother feeds father the best dinner
she can cook, and when the old man
is in q mellow mood she breaks the
sad news about their boy. II she Is
skillful enough she wins his grouchy
consent, and he calls in his two best
men friends. These two go with his
son to the girls home. Perhaps she
has heard nothing Of the love affair,
but when she sees them coming she
guesses what's up. Her father enter
tains the visitors, and IL he lets the
fire go out it means he has taken this
method to turn them down cold.
Roumanian wives all have silk dresses
or silk shawls. Their husbands do not
buy the silk for them; the women raise
It themselves.-Exchan
