Br 8cr.pp-McRe Preaa Aaaoelauoa. j Washington, Dec. 8 The president's annual message was read today' in both houses of congress. He favors the Russian propo sition looking to the restoration of Che Chinese imperial author ity in Pekin. The Philippine question is discussed at some length and liberal legisation for the islands is recommended. The president reviews the re markable progress in our for eign trade and recommends a reduction of $30,000,000 in the internal revenue war tax. Speaking of the financial ques tion he says that it will be the duty as he feels sure that it will be the disposition of congress to provide whatever legislation may be deemed necessary to insure the continued parity of gold and silver. Immediate action is urged to provide legislation for promoting American shipping and increas ing our foreign trade. Speaking of trusts the presi dent says: "Uniformity of leg islation in the various states is desired, and it is to be hoped that such -uniformity, founded in wise and just discrimination, .may be obtained and that ways and means may be found by congress so to supplement ef fective state legislation as to make a complete and adequate system of laws throughout the United , States to restrain such combinations as are injurious and bring them within federal jurisdiction.'' . The president states that the form of civil government pro vided for Porto Rico by the act of congress April 22, 1900, is in successful operation and that he will transmit to congress the consititution which, the Cuban convention is expected to adopt. In regard to the army the president says that it must be apparent to all that we need our present standing army of 60,000 men, aad that during the pres ent conditions in Cuba and the Philippines the president should have authority to increase the present force of the standing army to 100,000. He asks that the request of the navy depart ment for more vessels and offi cers be granted, and in conclu sion recommends the "reappor Honing of representatives in the several states according to the figures of the new census.

'Then in the course of time strangers of an inquiring turn of mind began to ask why the place had such a name, and as no reason could bo given new comers to the neighborhood began to want a name that meant, something. This Insistence grew so strong that the old resideuts began to look around for a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found a huge bowlder near by which they said was wtmt had suggested the name. But the bowlder was gray Instead of red. and the p-o- jrresslsts Insisted that that would not do.

Coelc Shooting- la Tall Cftra. Cock shooting in tall corn Is as easy to the expert as it Is puzzling to the novice. You will, of course, work with the rows, not across them, and If you are wise you will shoot at every glimpse of a bird and very frequently after an Instant's sight of him. when you can only guess where he is. Sharp work, say ye, my masters. Yes, In a measure, but not so wonderful after all You certainly must be ever ready and swift and smooth In action, but actual sight of the bird at the Instant of pull Ing trigger is not necessary. Green corn won't stop even fine shit, and your charge will give a pattern as big as a bushel basket; hence the shak ing of a leaf, the fljck of a vanishing wing, are eno.ih for the master of the art. In an instant bis gun Is on the spot where a srecics of lightning cal culation tells hiji the bird should be. and the trigger Is pressed-without the slightest delay. The difficulty with the novice is to get him to shoot at once In stead of waiting In vain for a clear view. Experts kill bird after bird In this way. The novice must dismiss all thoughts of empty shells. No good sportsman worries over misses, though he will learn from failures how to hold next time. There Is no royal road to success In the field. Nothing but ex perlence really counts. So let the nov Ice crack sway, although he may only get one bird In ten. We all know what he'll get If be doesn't shoot at alL Outing.

HENINGER BROS., Fort Worth and Gainesville, Texaa. mimy m cm wept Victoria much Affected by Return ing soldiers' Parade British Tongues Have nuch to Wag About. London, Dec. 2. A curious medley of topics has been engag ing the attention of Great Britain the past week, the" news kaleido scope opening with Mr. Kru ger's doings and sayings. These are still retailed fully and seem to hold the audience. But a strong rival cropped up when the public learned that the so-called "back bone" of Great Britain, namely, beer, was permeated with arsenic. The poisoning epi demic at Manchester, which has resulted therefrom, sent a shock through the nation. Without allowing time for any recovery from this blow, General DeWet came out of a period of seclusion and scored a victory at Dewets dorp that has set the paople wondering whether the British army is of any good at alL The only redeeming feature of the week, from the British point of view, is the return of the Royal Canadian regiment from South Africa, which affords the edi torial writers a glorious oppor tunity for dilating on the solidity and splendor of the British em pire. As the Canadians remain here, Mr. Kruger, General De Wet, the evil effects of beer and other adverse features are likely to be quickly forgotten, so ac customed has Great Britain grown to reverses. How truly pathetic was the meeting of the queen and her Canadian sqjdiers seems to have escaped the English papers. Sitting in a carriage, the queen intently watched the men as they marched by within a few feet of her and she commenced her speech in brave tones. Was only a few words, but before it was finished tears rolled down her majesty '8 face and her voice broke and at the end it wa3 al most a sob. It is not astonish ing, therefore, that when Col. Otter replied it was in trembling tones, and not one of the men whom he led into nearly fifty engagements felt ashamed of the grizzled colonel because his M GUARDIAN ANCEL.

PALiCJUj Assistant Cuhier, cheeks were wet with tear&C Al though so deeply affected,- the, queen appeared to bo enjoying, her usual health. The reason why only three companies of the Canadians came back to England is that shortly before the end of the year for which the Canadian had olunteered expired, CoL Otter communicated with Lord Roberts, notifying him of the fact. The commander-in-chief said he would much like the regiment to remain longer, and asked Col. Otter to sound the men. The colonel asked the . officers, who, without consulting the men, enthusiastically guar anteed their companies would remain. When the men heard of this they took umbrage'ftt not being consulted, and in measur ed term informed the authori ties that they wished to return in a stipulated time. Lord Rob erts wrote a letter practically begging them to stay a little . longer, but the regiment being split up in various parts Of the country and the decision having been made, they voted to go di rect to Canada, with the excep tion ' of companies A and B. Company 1, being composed ot regulars, was obliged to remain, and companies A and B were stationed at headquarters. As reward for staying in South Africa, Lord Roberts enabled companies A, B and I to par take in the Pretoria celebrations, and then sent them home by the way of England, only a month later than their omrades. The disintegration of the regiment at . such a period caused the keenest regrets and heart burnings. For Memphis and all points and South fast train take the Ohoo taw Ronte.
