A mighty kiiiuII proportion of the peo ple of the United States know that the state of Arkansas owos the famous Smithsonian Institution, In Wash! ; ton, nearly $2,000,000, which it has not the faintest intention of paying. In 1S33, the first year of the reign of the late Queen Victoria, the United States received on account of the Smlthson bequest, the details of which are too well known to require repetition, a Hum aggregating $500,000. A good pro portion of this was by net of congress Invested in bonds of the state of Ar kansas. Not a cent of the principal or interest of tills ever lias been paid. The bonds now are molderlng In the vaults of the United States treasury In Washington, with coupons untouched by the scissors. And there they prob ably will remain for all time. The fed eral government was forced to make good Arkansas.' delinquency and appro priate money for the inauguration and maintenance of the institution which is now famous all over the country.

The luxury of physical Inactivity ap pears to be fully appreciated In the south, writes Mr. Bradford Torrey In "Nature's Invitation," and as an Illus tration he tells of n walk he took near Miami, Fin., and of a conversation he overheard: I was walking nway from the city nt a rather brisk paco one morning when I passed n lonesome shanty. A white man sat upon the rude piazza, and another man and a boy stood near. "Are you going to work today?" asked the boy of the occupant of the piazza. "No," was the answer, quick and pithy. "Why not?" "I uln't got time." I do not expect to hear the philos ophy of Indolence more succlntly and pointedly stated If I live a thousand years. ' CSettliiK 11 Ifli Slowly.

STRAWBERRIES EVERY MONTH. New Jersey Man Claims to Have Pro duced Wonder Plant. Orango. N. J., Sept. 2G. Fresh strawberries each month In the year from the same plant is ' the latest wonder produced by Henry Joralemon, a Hilton strawberry grower. Mr. Joralemon, who recently returned from California, where he compared notes with Burbank, the plant wizard, says his new monthly bearing plant Is practical, and may be successfully cul tivated by any one. The ultimate result will be to place fresh strawberries on the table at Christmas as well as In Juno, all from the same plant. It was because he wanted a certain hardy strawberry plant to cross with his present plant that he spent the summer In the West and Journeyed 2,000 miles north of Se attle. It was in this chilly climate that Mr. Joralemon found the plant he sought. Died While Climbing Mountain. Saranae Lake, Sept. 26.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature TO G17E.N0 QUARTER LIncolnites Ai Democrats Will fie Treated Alike. ATTACKS POLITICAL GUERILLAS Candidate For State Treasurer Plum mer Given a Splendid Reception By the Clubmen. Special Correspondence. Philadelphia, Sept. 26. Tlfo Republican campaign Is now under way In earnest. The aggressive young Republicans of the State League of Clubs fired the first gun at their big convention in Easton, and since then there has been a booming of heavy artillery all along the line. From every county comoa reports that the Republican skirmishers are out, that the lines are extended in every direction and that the enemy is to be pressed to speedy conclusions at every point. "There will be no quarter asked or given," said Flold Marshal Wesley R. Andrews at the Republican state com mittee headquarters. "The Republican colors are to be borne Into the thick of the fight, and all enomles ot Re publicanism, whether they appear In the uniform ot Democrats, LIncolnites or guerillas or Insurgents ot any kind or character, may expect to be treated alike and put to Ignominious rout In the cause of good government and the maintenance of the principles and pol icies of the party which has made this the most prosperous and happy coun try In the world. "Every Republican of Pennsylvania who realizes the significance of the present contest and tho far-reaching effect of the result of the November election upon the futuro of tho party will bo found fighting- for the entire Republican ticket." Chairman Andrews has been over run with callers from every county of the state during the last week, and Is delighted with the situation and the outlook for a sweeping Republican majority. Plummer Given An Ovation. J. Leo Plummer, the Republican nominee for state treasurer, was given a great ovation by the Republican clubmen ot Easton. He made a splen did speech. In which, among other things, he said: "It Is our proud boast today that the treasury of the commonwealth has never lost a dollar through the default of a state treasurer. "When the Republican party came Into power In Pennsylvania, real es tate, trades and occupations, horses and cattle, household furniture and watches were all taxed for state pur poses. Just as soon as the war was over the people were relieved of these taxes, so that now the only Individual who pays a state tax is the one who has money at interest, and three fourths of this tax, amounting In 1904 to $2,900,574, Is returned to the coun ties In relief of local taxation. No man's home In Pennsylvania is taxed to support the state government, "The policy of relieving local taxa tion Is carried out In respect to the hotel licenses; four-fifths of the money received from this source Is returned to the cities, boroughs and townships In which the hotels paying the licenses are located. More than $3,000,000 is re turned to the municipalities each year from this source. "The appropriation to the public schools Is also made to relieve the people In their local taxes. In 1904 the princely sum of $6,256,167 was paid to the counties for this purpose "During the 45 years odd adminis trations of tho government of Penn sylvania by the Republican party tax ation of real estate, etc., tor state pur poses has been abolished, a debt of $40,000,000 has been paid, a surplus of several millions of dollars accumu lated In the treasury and over $214. 451,000 returned to the counties In re lief of local taxation. "Gentlemen, this Is a record to be proud of, and I challenge any state In the United States or any country In the world to equal It. "In nothing Is the policy of the Re publican party In this state to be more commended than In Its appropriations for charitable and educational 'pur poses." Pennsylvania's Shame. J. Hampton Moore, the progressive young Republican president of the Na tional League of Clubs, In his speech at the Easton convention stirred the delegates to a high pitch of enthusi asm, when he said: "It Is a shame and a disgrace to day that Pennsylvanlans that are sec ond to none in patriotism, morals and good citizenship, are subjected to In vidious comment whenever they come In contact with the citizens of other states. This la due to the persistent and malignant circulation of slander ous untruths relating to the adminis tration of public affairs, which slan ders are the result solely of motives of disappointed ambition and revenge. "The Republican candidate for state treasurer, a man of unquestioned re spectability, whose home life is in dorsed by his neighbors, has been the butt of misrepresentation and .fdlcule from the day of his nomination. Every other candidate has been subjected to the same kind of unfair criticism. And by whom? "Mere factionlsts coalescing with Democrats who have offered nothing for a change of Republican faith ex cept a nominee for state treasurer whose public life has been as varied as tho hues of a chameleon.
