MAKES SERVANTS LAZY
The Japanese Servant Willing "to Do
Half Their Work.
Kansas City Star.
Japanese servants long ago won, by
their industry and efncr$ncy, the re
spect of their American employers, else
they would not be able to get salaries
that range fiom $50 to $75 a month.
Their yellow servants of other races
are. just as appreciative of their abili
ties. They know that they can be
relied on to do- their own work and all
that the other servants neglect.
It is surprising how much a Japan
ese will do of the work that five of six
maids are hired to accomplish in a
house. He will help the parlor maid
at her duties one minute and the next
will find him assisting the waitress to
jiet the table He is not above help
ing the chambermaid to clean the rooms
'and he loves to help, the laundress to
carrv the bundles of clothes upstairs.
He is delighted to run errands for the
,cook and is amiable enough to help the
kitchen maid to peel potatoes when she
is late at her work.
All this aid and comfort to his fellow
servants is given with no neglect to
ihis^master's business. So there is
'nothing for the housekeeper to say
against his varied efficiencies.
He does, however, have the effect of
making servant* more lazv and care
less than oefore. He usually does
about half their work.

FACrAtf'S CAMPAIGN PLAN
How Jersey City's Anti-Graft Mayor
Modestly Won Votes for Himself.
Lincoln Steffens in McOlure's.
Out to /the yards we went and we.
joined the mayor, who was campaign
ing for re-election. He was going up
to a group of men, who stopped Work,
wiped their hands on their clothes, and
formed a shy group. ,i
"I'm Mark Pagan," said the mayor
as shyly. I have tried to serve you
honestly and faithfully. I don't know
how well, but yon Know my record.
And if, you don't understand anything
in it, I 'd like to have you ask me about
it, If you think I have done right in
most things, I'd like to have your sup-
port."
That was all. They shook hands,
saying nothing, and he moved on.
"Understand that?" said Connolly
at my elbow. J'Every one of 'cm 'll
vote "for him. Why? What's there
to it?-"
Mark climbed up into the tower and
began. "I'm Mark Fagan
"You needn't waste .yoiir time here,"
said the tower man, looking around
steadily. "I. know you're Mark
Pagan, and I know what you're doing.
And-I'11 vote for you till hell freezes
over." He flung over the switch and
Mark retreated abashed.
"Ho knows me," he said wonder
ingly to me when he came down. Of
course they all.know the mayor, but
the mayor can't call them by name
he hasn't a good memory for either
names or faces, and I saw' him talk to
men he had talked to before. So
there is no flattery, and no familiarity,
and that was one point which missed
Connolly, who couldn't understand why
those men didn't laugh or josh the
mayor. Why don't they give him a
song and dance?" he said.
One man in a group I joined before
the mayor reached it, did say he was
going to "have some fun with Mark,"
and the others in a mood for horse play,
dared the bold one to ask Fagan for
"the price of a drink." I thought
the man would, .but when Mark came up
saying, I am Mark Fagan I have
been mayor for two terms and I have
tried to serve you," etc., the bold man
was silent they were all respectful,
and the psychology was plain enough.
The mayor speaks. What Connolly calls
"his little piece" with dignity, with
the grave dignity of self respect,- and
you feel, and those men feel, the per
fect sincerity of Mark Fagan.
ALL-PERVADING PHONE
It Has Become Indispensable Alike for
Social and Business Purposes.
Ealph Bergengren in the World Today.
The "telephone habit" once ac
quired by the use of the instrument in
business offices gained unquestionably
a tremendous impetus when womankind
discovered that the instrument is
equally available for social purposes
to say nothing of the sweet delight of
shopping or the sad necessity of going
to market. In New York and Boston
important department stores have
lately been finding profit in taking
telephone orders during the night and
delivering the goods early in the morn
ing. The arrangement is the latest
expression of what has been called the
"telephone door" of business. And
in nearly every retail industry- in our
larger cities there are from one to
several employees who might well be
called "telephone clerks" and whose
special qualification is a working famil
iarity with the telephone as a shopping
medium.
Not only do the large modern hotels
carry a telephone instrument in every
room, but department stores are even
now inaugurating a system of tele
phones at every counter, thus putting
-.the distant customer in immediate
verbal touch with the clerk with whom
he or she is accustomed to doing busi
nessa system that includes hundreds
of instruments in each department
store that employs it. In these same
cities, and in many smaller ones, grocers
call up their customers by telephone
and take the daily order without the
expenditure of time needed for a per
sonal visit.
The large city restaurant does much
of its marketing in the same fashion
and often uses the instrument at rush
hours to obtain a given article of food,
temporarily exhausted from its larder,
even while the prospective eater is
only be ginning the first course of his
dinner. And the man of business in
"New York or Boston, as he sits at his
hotel table, may order a telephone and
transact business with the man who is
lunching in Chicago. Police depart
ments employ it to capture criminals
and railroads are making it an import
ant part of their signal service.
CHILDREN'S GIFT T0~ ALICE
Two Dainty Sachet Bags Done in
"Alice Blue" From Italian School.
From an Exchange.
Pride beams forth from the face of
every little child from sunny Italy that
attends the east side Italian school at
No. 24 Sullivan street, of which Miss
Mattie Rhodes Satterie is principal,
for they are in receipt of a letter of
thanks from Miss Roosevelt
MINNESOTA
xfor a
dainty wedding gift, the Work of the
pupils.
^'Miss Alice," as the children call
her, is enthroned in their hearts, for
just, one year ago the president's
daughter visited them and left behind
a lasting memory of her presence. More
than. that, the Roosevelt family have
been patrons of the school ever since
its founding, thirty years ago.
After due consideration it was de
cided that the gift should be two sach
ets. "Alice blue" was selected as the
color and china silk the material. Each
sachet is one yard in length and pro
portinately wide, and is daintily tufted
with light-pink ribbon. A card bear
ing the words "From the children of
the east side Italian school, with their
love,'' was imbedded in the fold of the
saehets.
Great excitement prevailed when the
wedding gift was done up and dis
patched, but there was almost a riot
when there appealed a letter from the
White House addressed to Miss Satterie.
When order had been restored Miss
Satterie, with the proper dignity, drew
the letter from its envelope the pres
ence of the children. It read:
"Miss Roosevelt wishes to thank the
children for her lovely wedding gift,
which she highly prizes, and also for
the love and best- wwhes that ac
companied the gift."
In all probability the note will be
framed and placed in what Miss Sat
terie calls her "Hall of Fame," along
with an autograph likeness of the
president presented the principal at
Christmas time, and photographs of
Jacob A. Riis, Mayor Low and others.

PRISON SITE NOT
YET DECIDED ON
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL
TENDS TIME LIMIT.
Stillwater Citizens' Committee Secures
Options on Almost All Necessary
Property at Oak Park and Expects
to Secure Proposed New Penal Insti
tution for Bluff CityCounty Com
missioners in Session.
Special to The Journal.
Stillwater, Minn., March 7.After the meet
ing of the governor and the board of control on
the new prison site, the committee of citizens
went to work on the site and right-of-way for
a spur track to the Perro-Bean site near Oak
Park. Late last night the committee made a
statement to the following effect:
The committee Is more than satisfied with the
result of its efforts. These questions are vlr^
tually settled, options have been secured for the
Perro-Bean and the Berger lands for a site and
for nearly nil the right-of-way, the remaining
pieces of right-of-way being very probably ob
tainable and expected to be forthcoming in a
day or two. This location will probably be se
lected by the board of control If the titles prove
to be good..
Governor Johnson, accompanied by his assist
ant secretary, Harvey Grimmer, came from the
cnpitol for a conference with the board of con
trol and the committee of citizens on the sub
ject of a site for the proposed new prison.
Time Limit Extended.
The board of control was holding its regular
March meeting at the prison. Mayor Armson,
L. L. Manwarlng, Ludwig Slmonet and M. L.
Murphy of the committee of citizens submitted
to the board a proposition which includes the
much discussed Perro-Bean tract near Oak Park.
The committee believes that its proppsition is
within the terms of the board, and hopes it will
be accepted. There are some matters of detail
to be arranged, especially as to a right-of-way
for a spur track, if that can be arranged, the
offer will take a more hopeful turn. The com
mittee was given four days further time to
perfect the terms of its offer.
The board of control heard twenty-six pris
oners on applications for parole and on other
matters, and granted five paroles. The financial
statement for February shows collections on ac
count of binder twine sales, $34,369.08 from
miscellaneous sources, $9,735.28, much larger
than nsual. The latter sum included $3,802.05
for labor in the twine factory, $4,628.65 for
labor in the shoe shop and $122.75 as fees from
visitors.
County Commissioners Meet.
The petition to establish a puhlic ditch in the
village of St. Paul Park was dismissed by the
board of county commissioners. The matter was
presented a few months ago. A considerable
number of property owners protested, and then
the Milwaukee railway came forward with a
proposition to pay the expense. That caused
some of the opposition to withdraw. Th board
of commissioners viewed the grounds yesterday.
Today the Milwaukee company withdrew its
proposition to hear the expense and the subject
was dropped. Several property owners in the
village threaten to begin legal proceedings
against the Milwaukee road to compel it to
drain lands that have been flooded by the con
struction a few years ago of a track thru a
small lake, making a fill that caused property
to be flooded. Several damage suits already are
pending In the district court.
CAPTAIN PENGILLY DEAD

Bonds Will Be Issued for Building at
Virginia, Minn.
VIRGINIA, MINN.At a meeting of the
school board last evening it was decided to issue
bonds for $40,000 to erect a graded school
building in the south addition to the city. The
structure will be of brick and will be modern in
every respect. The work will be started im
mediately in order that the school be ready for
occupancy in September.
The five school buildings In the city are filled
to their utmost capacity. Two years ago the
Roosevelt high school was erected at a cost of
$65,000. The city is growing rapidly and the
need of more school buildings is besoming more
evident ctery day.
The proposition to pave the main street with
brick was made at the city council meeting,
but action on It was deferred.

Man Dies in
DTJLUTH, MINN.Captain John Pengilly of
Northfield, Minn., formerly manager of the
Chandler and Minnesota mines on, the Vermillion
range and well known in mining circles of the
Lake Superior region and Pennsylvania, died
yesterday in Arizona of pneumonia, in his fifty
third year. The Information reached Duluth In
a telegram from Mrs. Pengilly at Northfield, who
wired the news to relatives. The telegram
failed to state In what town in Arizona his
death occurred.
Captain Pengilly left Duluth about three weeks
ago for Cananea, Mexico, where he was en
gaged to demonstrate the caving system of
mining for the Green Consolidated company.
He retired from the mining business two years
ago, resigning as manager of the Chandler and*'
Minnesota mines, and removed with his family
from Tower to Northfield. where he owned a
large and valuable farm. His acceptance .of the
offer of the Green Consolidated was his first
return to the mining business, even for a short
time.

Bad Condition of Highway Results in
Suspension of Service.
NEW RICHMOND. WIS.The postoftice de
partment has begun here the enforcement of its
rule that farmerB must keep the roads in good,
passable condition if the free rural delivery
service is to be continued. As a consequence
many farmers in the town of Erin Prairie,
formerly served by rural route No. 3 of Bald
win, 'Wis., find themselves without the sflBvlee,
and they claim that the fault is not theirs, but
that of others nearer Baldwin. Ijfforts are now
being made to secure seryice from this city.
The postofflce department requires good, pass
able highways, open to travel the whole year
round, as one of the conditions on which free
rural delivery service is granted and maintained.
The officials are. giving more attention to this
matter of highways than ever before, and similar
orders wiU be made covering other localities if
the farmers are negligent in the matter of roads.
All the inspection work for the proposed county
system of rural free delivery for St. Croix
county Is now complete, and it lis expected that
the complete service covering the entire county
will be ordered at no distant dflte.
Postmaster Franc A. R. Van Meter has been
reappointed by President Roosevelt. There was
practically no opposition, it being taken for
granted that Postmaster General Cortelyou's
policy of retaining in office those postmasters
with excellent records would hold good in this
case.

Duluth Man Says People of Northern

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Minn., March 7.For nearly nine
years William Culkln has been register of
the United States land office at Duluth, and
during that time he has had probably as good
an opportunity to observe the workings of the
United States land laws as any man living.
Moreover he has the trained legal mind that can
consider the subject judicially. He has always
refrained from giving utterance to his opinions,
believing that his official position might cause
his attitude to be misjudged. Today he is out
of office, however, and he places himself strong
ly on record against the repeal of the timber
and stone law. There has been much agitation
for the removal from the statute books of this
law on the ground that a great deal of fraud
has been perpetrated under it. This, Mr. Cul
kin answers, and points out that it is the poor
man's law. He says:
"Steps should be taken by the people of north
ern Minnesota to impress on the minds of their
representatives In both houses of congress the
fact that the repeal of the timber and .stone
act is not desired by the people of this section.
It Is one of the most meritorious land laws on
the statute books, and its repeal

LUMBERMEN FEED DEER
Tons of Hay Given to Hungry Game in
Mionigan Woods.
HOUGHTON, MICH.Near Kenton, a lumber
ing town in Houghton county, an uncommon
sight is presented at various places along the
logging roads of a lumber company. Because of
the unusually deep snow, deer are having a dif
ficult time to find food this winter, and the
lumber company has come to the rescue by put
ting out hay in different places. That the fodder
is appreciated is apparent from the well-trodden
runways leading to the feeding grounds and
from the manner in which the hay disappears.)
Many tons of hay already have been contributed
to the animals.

Operations of Burglar.
BUTTE, MONT.The police are puzzled" over
the operations of a gentlemanly burglar who
seems to have a penchant for evening attire,
and at present four city detectives are devoting
their entire time to an effort to run the disciple
of Raffles to earth. Thus far they have had
but little success, altho they have succeeded
in recovering considerable property that htf bad
purloined.
In the past two weeks, the Montana and Gold
berg apartment houses and the residence of
Assistant County Attorney Walker have been
visited by the burglar. The marauder in each
case appeared to pass with scorn sucb trifles
as silverware, jewelry and money, but wherever
he came across raiment of the full dress or
Tuxedo variety, it was Immediately confiscated.

Reason for Law's Appeal.
"It is essentially a poor man's law and gives
the northern pioneer a chance to get on In the
world, being one small recompense to him for
his work in developing a new country. Any-j,
one who investigates the matter will find that
the law is being taken advantage of, not by the
dishonest, but in fact by the best class of our
people. Farmers, mechanics, business men, edi
tors, bankers, clergymen and people of other
worthy callings invest their savings in land
under this law, and at once begin to pay taxes
on the land they buy.
"It Is true that there has been fraud under
this law, but that is true of every law I ever
heard of. The fact remains, however, that as
the stone and timber law is now administered,
fraud has been almost Entirely eliminated. Such
fraud as may be found is merely sporadic, not
general. Fraud arises not from bad laws, but
from lax or corrupt administration.
"No one has advanced as yet a plausible
reason why this beneficent statute should be re
pealed. One idea advanced is that the lands
should be reserved for homesteads. But some
of our land is of such a character that it is
not taken as homesteads. Our best lands are
now homesteaded.
"Why segregate 1,000,000 or more acres of
government land to be .added to the gloomy,
unproductive wastes now held by the state?
Why not get these lands on the tax rolls to aid
in upbuilding the northern counties?
"It is true that speculators in scrip would
benefit by the repeal. Certainly these specu
lators, who usually get something for nothing
from the government, are not its favorites. At
the same time they are the only ones who
would reap a profit from its repeal. It would
be a wrong to the people and to the towns,
villages, school districts and counties of the
northern country, the very interests which the
proposed repeal is mistakenly supposed to
serve."

MINER HAS EXCITING DRIVE
THRU MICHIGAN. WOODS.
Howling Pack Chases Sleighload of
Provisions and Driver Wins Nerve
Racking Race by Close Margin
Flashing Lantern and Fire Failed to
Check Onslaught of Hungry Beasts.
Special to The Journal.
Ewen, Mich.*, March 7.Pursued by a pack of
a score or more wolves, George Bigge, living
at a copper mining location in Ontonagon coun
ty, reports a'harrowing experience. He was re
turning from Ontonagon with a sleighload of
provisions. It was after nightfall that be was
nearing Union Bay, when' he was startled by the
bowling of wolves "in the distance. He attempt
ed ta drive faster, but, as the road is up a
heavy grade nearly all the way, he was unable
to make much, better progress.
Bigge was not armed, but on the dashboard of'
the sleigh was a lantern with a reflector. He
grabbed this and turned It on the wolves.. The
light frightened them, and they fled. Gaining
courage and a keener appetite, they returned,
but they were kept In check by the light, and
as the rig entered the small clearing at Union
Bay they slunk away. There are no buildings
at Union Bay and Bigge continued on his jour
ney. From Union Bay to the Halliwell mine,
woods line the road on both sides, and when
these were entered the animals again put In
an appearance.
Nerve-Backing Bide.
The light was turned upon the wolves, bdt
they were getting more courageous and began to
creep up along the sides of the sleigh. Bigge
realized that the situation was getting desper
ate. In the sleigh was a quantity of hay and a
tin pall. Despite that the horses were terror
stricken and were dashing onward at full speed
In the difficult road, Bigge filled the pail with
hay and managed to ignite It. The flames
frightened the animals. The Are was kept
burning, but in spite of this it looked as if the
wolves would charge the-rig.
The pack drew closer and closer, and were
about ready to close in when the man tore open
a box of canned goods and began hurling the
cans at them, striking two or three of the
foremost ones upon the head. They snarled
fiercely, but slunk back and, before they got
ready to make another onslaught the- clearing
at the Halliwell mine was reached.
Bigge rushed the team into the blacksmith
shop and lost no time in getting into the office
building, where he remained for the balance of
the night.. The wolves had" returned to the
sleigh, and a coat which had been left in it
was torn to shreds.
A nerve-racking ordeal similar to Btgge's was
experienced last week by 6. M. McLaughlin, a
merchant tailor of Munising, and James Lane
of Wetmore, Alger county.
COSTLY FACULTY BANQUET
Committee to Probe Wisconsin Univer
sity Social Expenditures.
MADISON, WIS.-The educational value of
faculty dinners and a press bureau will be
examined into by the Wisconsin legislative com
mittee examining the state university. A re
port has come to the committee that the recent
banquet held by the faculty on the evening of
Feb. 22 cost $265 and that $200 of this was
paid out of the funds appropriated by the state
for the support of the educational institution,
and that the expense was charged to the "ad-
vertising" account.
For a year and a half the university has
maintained a publicity department in the shape
tjf a well equipped and effective press bureau
under charge of Dr. W. G. Bleyer. This bureau
lias prepared, articles of general Interest at the
suggestion of President Van Hise and heads of
departments and has sent them broadcast to the
newspapers of the state and elsewhere. A
record has been kept in the department of the
matter furnished by it and published, and it is
known that the work has been appreciated by
country editors.
No adverse criticism is heard as to the work
of the press bureau, but the claim has been
made that such work is not a part of the educa
tion of the young men and women who are
sent to the university. The administration of
the university maintains that the dissemination
of information in this way is valuable as show
ing the people at large what the institution Is
accomplishing.
One of the chief witnesses of the hearing this
week will be Dean W. A. Henry of the college
of agriculture, who will be examined regarding
friction among the faculty members in his de-.
partment. and particularly as to the conduct of
the farm superintendent, Leslie H. Adams,'
nephew of .Dean Henry, who. Is charged by
faculty members with being overbearing and
stubborn and with Interfering with and spoil
ing experiments.

Class Quarrel at Wisconsin. University
Now Centers on "Trilbies."
MADISON, WIS.An inter-class row at Chad
bourne hall, the dormitory at the state univer
sity, has left the girls of the freshman class
shoeless and with no Immediate prospect of
getting relief, tho meetings may be held to
compromise a fight with the sophomores and
secure return of the footwear. The freshmen
started the trouble by stealing sophomore girls'
hats and labeling them "worth 30 cents." The
sophs resented this. and one night started a
serenade of tin horns and like instruments, so
the freshmen could not study and they failed
in classes next day. The freshmen unwisely told
why they could not recite and this started more
trouble. The sophomore co-eds raided the under
class women's rooms and the shoes disappeared.
Fifty pairs of "trilbies" had no protection from
the weather last night.
