No such reason exists in this state for a dual legislative system. Hoids System Defective. “You senators and representatives cannot but have observed the defects in our present system. In a short ses- sion of fifty days you are required to study and pass hundreds of measures and the hurry with which this must be done must of necessity result in a number of more or less crude and ill digested laws, which often puzzle learned jurists to interpret. “After a brief session the legisla- ture adjourns and the business of one co-ordinate branch of the state gov- ernment absolutely is abandoned for a whole biennium. It is as if the head of an important department of some other ‘big business’ should give | only fifty days every two years to its management. “I am aware of the veneration with which ancient institutions are regard- ed, but I see no reason why we should cling to these institutions in carrying on the all important affairs of the state when in almost every other activity of life we are discard- |ing old traditions for newer and pro- gressive ideas and more efficient and | economic methods.” President of Cuba to Rescind Measure. Havana, March 11.—Aftera confer- and lawyers President Gomez decid- |ed to veto the amnesty bill, to the | passage of which the American gov- ernment has declared its strong op- position. President Gomez Friday signed the bill in spite of protest of the Ameri- can minister, but‘ he now holds that his signature is ineffective until the publication of the bill in the official gazette and that therefore he still re- tains the right to use the power of veto. The general amnesty bill provides for the liberation of more than 8,000 convicts, including negroes, who took | part in the rebellion last year. ‘REDUCES VISITING HOURS President Plans to Cut Down Number of Callers.

Mexico City, March 11.—Vicente Segura, a retired millionaire matador who several months ago purchased a supply of arms and ammunition at New Orleans to aid the revolt started by Felix Diaz at Vera Cruz, has turned over the bill of lading for these sup- les to the Mexican government, hich will have them delivered to the army fighting against the reb- Sirus Berthern states.

It is said that there are really few | | public personages who are free from |Hability to stage fright. The veteran is as likely to be affected as the novice. {Frequently the attack comes when | least expected, and, no matter how often the speaker or the artist may | have faced an audience, he can never feel quite certain that he will not un- dergo the tortures of this form of nervousness. | It is a curious fact nevertheless that stage fright sometimes stimulates in- stead of hopelessly confusing the ‘speaker or performer. There is a story Representation With Two Members to the effect that a friend of Canning From Each Congressional District once observed to him just as that ; great man was: about to address the house of commons on an important Topeka, Kan., March 11—Governor |measure: “Why, your hands are cold and clammy. You are nervous.” “In that case,” Canning is reported to have replied, “I shall make a good speech.” And the prediction was fully verified, since the orator was at his very best on that occasion. For obvious reasons musicians are among the worst sufferers from stage fright. One artist trembles, another perspires excessively, a third suffers from headache, and a fourth is con- sumed with a terrible thirst. Its most embarrassing manifestation, chiefly among those performing upon stringed instruments, lies in the nervous trem- bling of the how when sustained notes are attempted. Pianists, too, have their troubles in this respect, and many artists have told of cases wherein “their fingers ran away with them.” Singers ex- perience a “catch in the throat” that is deadly, to say nothing of a twitch- ing of the lips, fatal to clear enuncia- tion. It is related that Rubinstein, in the height of his powers, gave over the profits of a lucrative engagement for no other reason than that he suffered an attack of this curious malady.— Harper’s Weekly. ANCIENT MONOPOLIES. A Corner In Corn In the Early Days of the Egyptians. The evil of monopolies and rings was known_to.ancients,. Aristotle referring to them in his “Politics,” and then, as now, it was found necessary to hold them*¥n chéck by legislation. The mo nopofist was in Roman law called a dardanarius and punished under the Lex Julia de Annona. Monopolies of clothing, fish and all articles of food | were: prohibited by the Emperor Zeno under pain of confiscation and exile, so that it is certain that the rings of the ancient days were as mischievous as they are now. At Athens a law lim- ited the amount of corn a man might buy. The earliest recorded instance we have was a corn ring. There is an ancient tradition that the | king who made Joseph his prime min- |ister and committed into his hands the WILL VETO AMNESTY pict! entire administration of Egypt was Apepi. Apepi was one of the shepherd kings and ruled over the whole of Egypt as Joseph’s pharaoh seems to | have done. The prime minister during seven years of remarkable plenty the absolute needs of the Egyptians and stored it. During the terrible fam- ine that followed he was able to get his own price and bartered corn suc- cessively for the Egyptian money, cat- tle and land and. taking one-fifth for pharaoh, made him supremely wealthy. It was not merely a provident act, but la very politic one, his policy being to centralize power in the monarch’s hands.—London Answers. Dangerous Golf, One of the rules of the Weston super Mare (England) Golf club reads, “A ball may be lifted and dropped with the loss of a stroke when played with- in the railings surrounding the powder magazine.” There appears to be an element of danger in this kind of golf which reminds a London writer of a certain golf course on the West Afri- can coast, where the eighth and ninth holes are always optional, as several golfers are said to have been lost there owing to the proximity of the jungle, which is known to be a favorite lair of the lion. A Dish For the Gods. Liver and onions, artistically blend- ed, produce a fragrance that, wafted to the summit of Olympus, would cause the jovial Jove to kick over the am- prosia kettle and come thundering down the craggy steeps in quest of a new dish for the gods.—Kansas City Star. Cause For Worry. “] feel very uneasy. It’s pouring with rain, and my wife went out with- out an umbrella.” “No doubt she'll take refuge in a shop somewhere.” “Yes; that’s just what’s worrying me so.”—Pele Mele. Safe. There are a thousand ways in which a man can make a donkey of himself, but he can never go wrong by telling the young mother that the baby looks like ber and is beautiful.—Galveston News.
