It is reported in Washington that Mr. Roosevelt has kindly agreed to allow New Mexico to come in as an independent state. The territorial governor of New Mexico makes this announcement and declares that a bill to that effect will be introduced into the Sixtieth Congress, and that the President will approve it. This determination on the part of the administration merits all commendation. In an interview with the New York Herald, Frank Jay Gould said: “If we could only have war with Japan right now it would not be such bad thing as it seems on its face. For one thing it would take Roosevelt’s attention away from Wall street and direct it in a new line." How would it do for Wall street to make it unnecessary for the President to watch it so closely?

The country seems to be getting along so well with Taft on his travels, Root sick, Cortelyou silent and the Strenuous One taking his vacation, that it may decide some time just to get along without any presidents. —Atlanta Journal. LOTS OF MONEY (Continued from page 1.) doubt a thing to be desired, and every thoughtful citizen realizes that the time has come when the inland waterways should be developed largely at governmental expense. The natural resources must be preserved. It is necessary, of course, to erect public buildings now and then; but with all these worthy causes pressing for consideration Congress can not run away from the question, “Where is the money to come from?” o New Zealand fits punishment to crime. Thus, at Wanganui, when cerl tain sawyers troubled their neighbors by their drunken freaks the delinquents were made to pay the fines Imposed in such labor as they were accustomed to and were set to sawing wood with which to build a prison. The result was that rather than transgress again they vanished from the locality as soon as the building was complete. Men who are not considered chronic criminals are subjected occasionally by experiments.in this country to a course of Turkish baths, followed by showers and by a cold douche, the idea being that their criminal Instincts are de to physical degeneracy which may be thus counteracted. a Massachusetts town punishes female offenders by giving them at first poor clothes and cracked crockery from which to take their food, good dresses and better table equipment being provided and leave being given to keep pet animals as an improvement in their conduct is made manifest—St Louis Post-Dispatch. Didn’t Fire Hine. A kind old gentleman, seeing a email boy who was carrying a lot of newspapers under hie arm, said, “Don’t all those papers make you tired, my boy?” “Naw. I don’t read ’em,” replied the )«d.—Canadian Courier. A Brilliant Thought. Mistress (t<f maid after the party)— Bo Frau X. called this afternoon. Wha» reason did you give for my not seeing her?

A LIGHT SENTENCE ✓ (Continued from Page 1.) correction and to pay a fine of SIOO, the maximum punishment possible under the finding of the jury.—Chicago American. Sawyer was captured near Van Wert about two months ago, after quite a battle between he and Sheriff Hott. He should certainly consider himself lucky in securing so easy a sentence. ——oMystification.

His weakness was prevarication. His wife detested lying and constantly urged him to mend his ways. One morning she said: “Will, see if you can’t be perfectly truthful today. Don’t tell a lie. Now, promise!” He promised and went away to work. When he eatne home to dinner, she Mid: “Dear, did you keep your promise T “I did,” be replied soberly. Then he caught ber In Ms arms. “Darling.” he cried, “I will not He to you. When I said I had kept my promise to you, I did not tell the truth; but. believe me. that was the only He I told all day.” For twenty-two seconds she was lost In perplexity. Then she gave it up; the problem was too deep for her. The Part He Lost A New England man tells of a prosperous Connecticut farmer painfully exact in money matters who married a widow of Greenwich possessing in her own right the snm of SIO,OOO. Shortly . after the wedding a friend met the 1 farmer, to whom he offered coagratu- ' latiqns, at the same time observing, “It’d a good thing for you, Malachi, a marriage that means SIO,OOO to you.” “Not quite that Bill,” said the farmer; “not quite that” “Why,” exclaimed the friend, ”1 understood there was every cent of SIO,OOO in it for you.” “I had to pky $2 for a marriage license,” said Malachi. The Congregation Smiled. Two country clergymen had agreed to exchange pulpits on a certain date. One of them made the following sol- ' emn announcement to his congregation on the Sabbath previous to the event: “My dear brethren and sisters, I have the pleasure c* stating that on next Bunday morning the Rev. Zacharlah B. ! Day will preach for you. Let ua now * sing two verses of hymn No. 489, That ; Awful Day Will Surely Come.’ ” And it took him some time to dlacov--1 er why the congregation smiled. 1

Misunderstanding Made Holiday for Teachers and Scholars. One December day of last year I stopped at a district school house on Long Island to make some inquiries of the teacher, and I found her engaged on some sewing and the dozen scholars playing around out doors. In reply to my queries she explained: “The school board has some little misunderstanding between themselves, and until it is settled we are taking things easy.” ( “Is the misunderstanding serious?’ I asked. “Not so very. I taught the children 4hat the island of Jamaica was in the Caribbean sea, and the moderator has an idea that it’s in the Caspian. He has gone up to Brooklyn to find out. I taught the children that the world revolves on its axis once in 24 hours. One of the directors thinks I am an hour off, and he's gone up to Brooklyn to see about it. I taught the children that the Amazon river was in South America, but the other director thinks it’s in China, and has gone up to Brooklyn to see about it.” “And you are letting things go while they satisfy themselves?" “Yes. I did start in to teach the children during the interval that if a farmer sold two cows for S3O apiece and two sheep for four dollars each, he got S6B in all for what he sold, but a tin peddler came along and advised me not to get into any trouble while waiting, and so we are holding a sort of picnic. You keep right on this road to get to Saybrook.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
