But bumper years in grain and corn and cotton frequently have brought low prices. It will not be so this year. Outside of America the harvests of the world will be smaller than usual. As a con- sequence the agriculturists in this tountry will receive a thousand mill- fons of dollars more for the products of thelr flelds than they ever realized 4m a single year before. The total valuo of the four great staples alone— wheat, oats, corn and cotton—will be greater this yoar by nearly three quarters of a billion dollars than they have been in any year of this coun- try’s history. Nover before have the great corn fields of America ylelded such boun- teous harvests as they are going to this year. ‘The government's esti- mato Js nearly three and a quarter Dillion bushels—and nine times out fof ten the government guesses con- siderably under the actual figures when all the records are made up. ‘The biggest yield of corn that this country has ever known was in 1905, lesa than thro billion bushels. The average price last year was a little more than 60 cents a bushel. Corn for December delivery Is selling now at 65 cents a bushel. Figuring the value of tho present crop this price would make its value total the vast sum of more than two billions of dol- Tars—2,000 militons of money. When HOt etoteterorererores IS MERELY A POPULAR MYTH. Iden That Frogs Live for Centuries In Rocks Has Been Exploded ‘by diteonlote: ‘Something akin to a nine-day won- ter, writes a correspondent, has been caused in the village of Leuchars by the discovery of a frog entombed in a boulder. ‘Time and again have similar {iscovertes been made, and some startling theorles have been pro- jounded to explain the mystery. The Rost popular bell fe that the ant nals were incarcerated ages ago, when the stones were in plastic form, pad have remained in durance vile aver since.” If this were the ease, scl fates would aly aye to ay. the to learn the secret of the elixir. fortunately, the problem of the al- jemfst cannot be thus easily solved. 1@ explanation of the matter, how- aver, is very simple. Frogs, like nu- merous other specles, lle dormant dur hg the winter months; doubtless last pueuman the animal in question hopped sto some nook or cranny in the aide of ede EAD the figures of the government's esti- mate of the bumper crop of corn came out the other afternoon there was a hush in one of the big Wall street grain brokerage offices. ‘Then a man spoke up: “Great heavens! there isn’t loose money enough in the world to comer that erop.” Corn alone will make the American farmer not far from $50,000,000 richer this year than he was last. BUMPER CROPS SURE FOR BOTH COTTON AND WHEAT, ‘Take cotton, too. Last year's crop was 11,581,829 bales. The average price was a llttle under 10 cents a pound and its total value a little mere than $579,000,000. The indi- ‘cated crop this year, according to the government's experts’ reports, will be at least 12,000,000 bales. It is likely from the present outlook that this crop will be marketed at not less than 18 cents a pound, $65 a bale, $780,000, 000—over $200,000,000 more’ than ast yyear with but a small increase in the yield, ‘The whedt crop this year will be at least 663,000,000 bushels, and ex perts say that it 1s not likely to fal below $1.10 a bushel for a long time to come. That means $729,000,000 worth of wheat will soon be on the way to the elevators. Last year's harvest was 660,000,000 bushels, and {t brought $620,000,000, so the Ameri ‘can wheat farmer will’ have $109,000, 000 more to spend from that source than he did the year before. ‘Tho reason wheat is worth more than a dollar a bushel, which used to be a price that the farmers dreamed of, 1s not because the crop in this country is especially short. It ts but @ little below the record crop of 1906, But thero has been a shortage in the ‘wheat crop all over the world for the boulder, hoping there to find a snug retroat from the rigors of win- ter. When disturbed by the blows ot the hammer the frog jumped out {nto the open in a desperate attempt to escape from danger. ‘Then the un- ‘inquiring rustle comes to the con- clusion that the animal has leaped from the heart of the boulder. Though greatly embellished by the imagina- tion, there fs a certain amount of truth in the frog legend. ‘The late Dr. Buckland determined to get to the bot tom of the matter. He scooped. out holes {na number of soft sandstones fand popped 4 live frog into each. Hie then sealed up the apertures with it tle glass windows and Duried the stones in his garden, penlodically dig- sing thom up and examining them. He found that tho animals lived trom atx to nino months in this state, but by the end of that time all the frogs haa gone to join the great majority. Thus ‘was ® popular fallacy exploded, but “a He dies hard,” and the legend is still vary generally believed. ‘Fanning drives away the heat and brings more to the fanner. os iii ea auatieg silat ONS cae ee eee le eal DANY rE Pen eg f hy === TS wae aie ay Pe ee Sey wey oe ‘the last two years, and it looks as if this year's yield was going to be scant lao. Outside of America, Europe de- pends largely. on the vast wheat flelds of the Argentine for her bread. Thirty per cent. leas wheat was sown there this year than Jast, and it is estimated that the yield will be 50, 00,000 bushels less. All this benefits the American farmer. ‘The American farmer will get over {$60,000,000 more for his crop of oats this year than he did last. In 1908 the yield was 789,000,000 bushels, and At sold for $321,000,000. This your's estimate {6 963,000,000 bushels, which at the minimum price of 40 cents a bushel would bring in tho huge sum of $885,000,000, Only about a million and a half bushels of oats are ex ported, Not all the rest goes to feed horses and cattle by any means. The 200,000 automobiles in this country have cut down the number of horses and the consumption of oats corre: spondingly. ‘This decrease has been more than made up, however, by hu- man beings eating more oats than they’ used to, Many of the cereal breakfast foods are made from oats, and thelr consumption in that way cuts a big figure. To recapitulate the way the record runs in this year’s increase in the value of the four great staples, so that the eye can take it in at a glance, here are the figures; GottON saseessecnneseneennesen$20,00,00 Gotton By prodidete 22200200.2.2-¥2r0m.0m Gorm esscorsesesseerscrnsecnsey 60,000.90 Oats oI “eon om Wheat vicccccceesescceiciiTIIIIIIII ata oo!o0o | Beside these the crops of hay, al- ‘falta, potatoes, tobacco and the other ‘products of the soll are elther no less for else far greater than usual, Ex. perts estimate that the added wealth that these will stow. away in the pockets of the American farmer this year will be not far from $100,000,000.

He will pay out vast sums for labor, for machinery with which to plant now crops, for new buildings in which to house them and his other belongings, for luxuries and comforts which he ‘has gone without when crops were poor and prices low. Getting the crops to market will bring the railroad and steamship lines a tremendous flood of added revenue over the leaner years. The farmer no longer stores his grain in the fields as he used to years ago. He sends it first to the elevators that ‘roar theif huge bulk beside the rail road tracks. There ho holds it until he gets the price he thinks it ought to bring. If he wants to borrow money meanwhile'the slip of paper that the grain warehouse gives him Is good collateral for all he wishes. ‘Then when the flood of wheat and cotton moves eastward and south: ward to the ocean gateways, where the great ships are waiting to take It across the seas, more money is put into efrculation, millions of {t. Against this time when the endless trains will begin to journey to the grain ports on the lakes or to the cotton cities on the gulf the money for the moving of the crops is being heaped up now in the great financial centers of ths country, CONSUMPTION IS KEEPING UP WITH PRODUCTION. America exports only about 2 per cent. of her cora. She sends seven twelfths of her raw cotton to foreign lands. ‘The domestic consumption of corn is more than keeping pace with the huge increases in production. ‘Millions of bushels go to feed and fat- ten the cattle and hogs whose beet and pork, grown on the western prairies and slaughtered in Chicago, feed the inhabitants of every corner of the globe. But one of the chief uses of corn has sprung up during the last decade and has grown into an immense industry.

His house on the top of one of the mountains of the Ramapo range at Arden, not far from the dejected town of Suffern on the Erle, fs on such a helght and surrounded by so many leagues of pathless forest that are his by right of purchase that he can dwell there, if he chooses, in an isolation so splendid as to be incomparable with that enjoyed by another American multimillionaire.

In certain quarters it is said Sir Casper had his leave of absence extended from August to a year from that date, when he presented persons say, his five-year contract expires. J. Porter Morgan, president of the museum's administrative board, is in Europe. So is Edward Robinson, assistant director, Henry W. Kent, assistant secretary, returned from abroad recently after a conference with Sir Casper and officials of the museum. On his arrival he said nothing concerning the directors' plans, and the staff there does not know what to expect. Cable dispatches from London say Heiress to Wed Grandson of a King ANITA STEWART, who is to be married to Prince Miguel of Braganza, is the daughter of Rhinelander Stewart of New York. Miss Stewart's mother is now Mrs. James Henry Smith, the widow of "Silent" Smith. She obtained a divorce from William Rhinelander Stewart in South Dakota in 1905, and was almost immediately married to James H. Smith, who had a fortune of about $20,000,000. He left $2,000,000 to his widow and the income of $500,000 in St. Paul bonds for life to Anita Stewart, of which about one-fifth was to go to her children should she marry. Not very long ago it was informally announced in Europe that the prince, whose family financial affairs have always been complicated, was about to amplify his hertered purse by marrying Miss M. New York. It is now disclosed that the American heiress to whom the rumors referred was Miss Stewart. Plan to Establish Greater White Way A LREADY famous for its great White Way—by which Broadway is generally known—a movement is now on foot to establish in New York city a Greater White Way—a boulevard which will surpass such famous roads in Europe as the Rue de la Palix in Paris and the famous street in London, or even the famous den Linden in Berlin. It is not Broadway, however, but the already famous Fifth avenue which an organization of the greatest property owners, residents and tenants along that famous thoroughfare plans to 'take the world's greatest street. The organization, known as the Fifth Avenue association, the combined wealth of whose members far into the hundreds of millions, has "Jane Crow" Cars Fail to Attract THE "Jane Crow" cars, for the exclusive use of New York women, an experiment of the Hudson Tunnel Company, have ceased to run. Women riding in the tube trains will have to take their chances on getting seats with men passengers. The experiment of supplying cars with no rude men to grab all the seats and smirk at the women or hide behind newspapers, or the women did not use the cars, which half empty, even in the rush hours. "I couldn't begin to explain why the woman don't want those exclusive cars," said President McAdoo. "All I know is that they didn't use them after they got them. I have investigated thoroughly. I received voluminous reports from men and women in our service who were sent to sound the question of feminine apprehension of our exclusive cars. From accounts it appears that the greatest number of women consider themselves insulted when advised by a guard to go into the woman's cars." Inquiries among the employees of the railroad revealed the fact that trainees have had many alterations with irate women who preferred to stand in a car rather than about in a car full of men rather than about the special car adoloping, where they plenty of seats. The trainees said the women passengers seemed to feel Defective Page THE PRESIDENTIAL MUSEUM 1234567890 EUROPE HERRESS BROADWAY 5TH AVE 一 A woman is fighting a train. Sir Casper is seriously ill, having failed much since his arrival there, and that it will be a year at least before he is able to resume his exacting duties. As he is 62 years old, his recovery, though practically assured, will be exceedingly slow. Though the director is rated as a brilliant administrator, it is contended in some quarterns that the institution of which he is the head has not degooped as evenly as was hoped. Some gooing has been to say that Sir Casper has been able to wither the emotional in art and has not even euisthiastic over paintings praised by eminent critics. He has even indifferent to artists of the Barbison school, including Corot and Millet. On the other hand, many noteworthy artists feel that the failure of the director to return would be a severe blow to artistic America. That he is broad in his views is unquestioned. He possesses rare knowledge of archeology and of ancient handicrafts. He is an architect by profession and has collected art objects in Greece, Turkey and Syrta. It was because of his work in this field that he was first a museum director of the Kensington museum, not he held with exceptional success until he came to this country in 1905. The house of Braganza never had a glimpse of anything like $500,000, much as it has been needed. The young prince has been a disturbing element in European royal circles for many a year. He is only 31 years old, but many a time the representatives of two or more royal families have had to resort to hurried emergency measures to suppress from publication mention of his escapades. Prince Miguel's title is beyond cavil. He is the grandson of King Miguel of Portugal, who reigned from 1828 to 1834. Dom Pedro, emperor of Brazil, was the head of another branch of the same family. His father's frequent demonstrations toward making his claim to the Portuguese throne are declared responsible by partisans of the present reigning family for the plot which culminated in the assassination of his the young Miguel's quest for an heiress has been the degree of scandal mongers in Europe for several years. It is only a few months since his engagement to Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chaucey of Brooklyn was rumored. Indeed, some of the prince's guardians had private assurances that the marriage had already taken place. Mrs. Chaucey repudiated the story with indignant emphasis, and the prince turned his search elsewhere. already accomplished much in the way of widening the avenue, arranging for the handling of traffic and providing for the comfort and safety of those patronizing the avenue made famous by song. It now proposes, however, through many ambitious undertakings to make Fifth avenue the Mecca of all visitors to New York as well as the most popular thoroughfare for those who dwell here. Improvements for which the association is now working include the lighting of all shop windows until at least 11 o'clock at night, the widening of the street still farther and the ingress of an improved system of electric lighting which will make Broadway pale in comparison. It is also aimed to educe peddlers as well as all kinds of undesirable business, and to prevent street tolerating. Altogether the new Greater White Way, as the association proposes to make it, is likely soon to become not only the greatest boulevard in the world in respect to wealth, but also in respect to popularity. that they were being ruled against, instead of provided for by the company's special car provision. "It is just like the Jim Crow legislation in the south, and I won't ride in your old car!" one woman snapped at the guard of a tunnel train the other day. Yet it was a supposed demand on the part of the women of New York that led the company to make the experiment. "Rule of Thumb." Upon a previous occasion the Prince of Wales told the country that it must "wake up," and he now repeats the warning in another form when he says that the reign of the rule of Thumb is over, and that "with out a scientific foundation no permanent superstructure can be raised." The Rule of Thumb dies hard in this country, partly, perhaps, because we had by accident a long period in which prosperity could be attained and much study of method. That period closed a good while ago, but few men learn much after they are grown up, hence it takes about a generation for this country to turn round. Rule of Thumb is like the longbow—a very useful weapon as long as other people have nothing better. But other nations have nothing as siduously improving their weapons while there are still a good many among us who think that what was good enough for their fathers must be good enough for them.—London Times.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Taft as Bachelor in the White House Illinois Senator Is Railroad Magnate Illinois Senator Is Railroad Magnate Uncle Sam Looks Up Turkish Cigarettes Uncle Sam Looks Up Turkish Cigarettes Tawney Gets Taft to Stop at Winona Tawney Gets Taft to Stop at Winona WASHINGTON. — President Taft, the summer "bachelor" of the White House, is sharing the fate of many other government officials and Washington residents whose families have gone away to mountains or seashore. The president is taking the situation philosophically, doesn't seem to mind the hot weather and is reading daily with great delight letters from Beverly which tell of the rapid improvement in Mrs. Taft's health. Living bachelor fashion at the White House is not fraught with the same discomforts that beset the mere man who has his home "closed up on him," when his wife goes away and is compelled to seek food and lodging as best he may. The president and Mrs. Taft to take the White House "help" when the occupancy of the Beaver cottage was begun, so the president is well taken care of and domestic affairs at the White House run on much the same. The president, however, allowed Mrs. Taft to take the "first cook" to Beaver, while he is served by the "second cook," who is a legacy from the second level administration. She is a negro labor naval officer from Old Virginia and whose away over the White House kitchen now is complete. JUDGING from many reports of new business ventures on the part of the new junior senator from Illinois which are floating into Washington, be is soon to be known as "Wealthy William" Lorimer instead of plain "Mister" and "Senator." Besides continuing at the head of a successful brick company and one or two other concerns in Chicago, Mr. Lorimer soon is to participate in a steamboat business on the Mississippi and to help operate a railroad in Colorado. His membership in a concern which is to operate steamboats of light draft between St. Paul and St. Louis and formal wheat cargoes to ships at New Orleans was composed with the leading rail line, was announced recently. News now has come from Colorado that the San Luis Valley & Southern Railway Company has been projected, with Senator Lorimer of Illinois and Senator Weeks of Massachusetts prominent managers. Connected with the _project_, is a FOR the benefit of people who have developed a great fondness for the so-called Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes, the state department at Washington has made an investigation of the tobacco industries of the east. Practically all of the Turkish tobacco comes from Samsoun, in the district of Trebizond. Large quantities of the Trebizond tobacco are sold by the Turkish growers to Egypt, where it is used to brighten the tobacco obtained from other parts of Turkey. The Trebizond tobacco, according to the United States consular agents, is weak, has very little aroma and large, very light colored leaves which do not keep well. The Samsoun and Bafra tobacco are stronger, have more aroma, do not REPRESENTATIVE TAWNEY, who is chairman of the house appropriations committee and lives in Winna, Minn., read in the morning papers the other day the itinerary of Mr. Taft's western trip, and it did not mention Winna. Mr. Tawney is the man who engineered the $25,000 appropriation for the president's traveling expenses and he called to find out what Winna conclusion. The president agreed to put Winna on his traveling map, not, as he explained, on account of the appropriation, but because he remembered a story President Roosevelt had told. President Roosevelt was touring the west when he came to Minnesota in his itinerary, too, Winona was omitted. Mr. Tawney boarded the train up the line and asked for a quarter-hour stop and speech in his town. Secretary Loeb said it would be impossible, as they were going somewhere else and had to hurry or they would be late. Then Mr. Tawney looked up the district passenger agent of the road, who was on the train. He asked the engineer to be plained, the engine got out of order when Winona was reached, and it took the engineer 20 minutes to find the fault and fix it. The president has happily solved the problem of disposing of the long evenings by taking long automobile rides about the city and suburbs. He usually starts out on these trips about 9:30 o'clock, returning to the White River, where heapt, Archbold Butt, the president's always his companion on these journeys and usually the president telephones an invitation to some cabinet officer, senator or representative, and stops at the guest's house or club to pick him up. The evening rides often extend out into the beautiful Rock Creek park, which stretches for miles along the little waterway whose name is the River Park, and his chauffeur drive about the city or on the Potomac park driveways, which skirt the river back of the White House and the monument grounds. Arising at about seven o'clock the president gives nearly an hour to dumb-bells, pulley weights and other forms of exercise prescribed for him. He breakfasts slowly and usually alone. During his morning meal and for half an hour or so afterward, the president reads the newspapers. Between 9:30 and 10 he begins his busy day in the executive-offices. At 1:30 comes luncheon at the White House—always with some invited guest for company. The afternoon is devoted to golf. The morning honors he plays every afternoon that he remains in Washington. Dinner always finds guests assembled and usually it is an informal and delightful meal, which begins a little after seven o'clock and sometimes continues for an hour and a half. scheme to exploit what is known as the Costilla land grant. The Costilla State Development Company, the Costilla Power Company, and the Costilla Irrigation Company all have been launched with the railroad, and Senator Lorimer and Congressman Weeks have shares in each. The president of the new railway company happens to be Franklin E. Brooks, who a few years ago. obly represented the state of 'Colorado at Washington as represent 'at large at Washington in the story of how Messra. Lorimer and Weeks were allowed to participate in the "good thing" out in Colorado. The most important house served while in congress was the commissite on agriculture. Mr. Lorimer and Mr. Weeks were fellow members They sat side by side in many important meetings of the committee during the packing house inquiry and the discussion of the pure food bill. Naturally they all became fast friends, and accordingly when Mr. Brooks returned to private life and visited the east in search of capital for his new projects he sought them out and won their approval and financial support. He was through his membership on the committee of agriculture that Mr. Lorimer has been afforded the opportunity of becoming a railway magnate. bitte the tongue and have small dark leaves. The most aromatic sorts are what are called Marden and Dere. The country where the best Turkish tobacco is grown is a low mountainous region bordering the south shore of the Black sea. The tobacco is grown, like the grapes, on the slopes of the hills, and the climate is always humid. A clear sky and bright sun are extremely rare. The methods of tobacco culture are primitive, and much is left to chance and nature; no systematic rotation of crops is practiced, no scientific fertilizing and there is little cultivation. In Treibizound the average yield is about 800 pounds of tobacco per acre. The leaves are put on strings, each quality by itself, and hung on poles in the open. Then, when dry, they are put into a swabhouse to good deal of the Turkish tobacco is made up in Hungary for the American trade. In one factory in Flunghary, in the last year, 371,000,000 cigarettes were manufactured. Some of the tobacco came from Brazil, Java and Sumatra. In the meantime Mr. Tawney had introduced Mr. Roosevelt to a large crowd of his admiring townsmen, and the president had made a speech. Mr. Taft said he was convinced he would have to stop at Winona anyhow, and he might as well promise to do so now. The Heron. A heron, bird of long beak and tall legs, was going along a river. He saw any quantity of carp and pike (the heron is a great eater of fish) and he could easily have caught them; but he wasn't hungry; this was a very good reason. A few moments later his appetite came back to him; he returned to the edge of the water to find something to eat. But the pike and the carp were no longer there; it was a great loss for him. He saw some tenches, but this did not please him; he wanted something more solid. "Me eat tenchets! he exclaimed, "What do they take me for?" At last he found some gudgeons. "Gudgeons!

Wide houses are becoming very popular, but you must have considerable lot room side walls to be deep, narrow lots so often found in cities are not well calculated to furnish a proper setting for a house the width of this one. The house is not such a great big affair, either, for, while the width is 47½ feet, the depth is only 29 feet. But you get the size at the sides where you most need it. This plan is well suited to a suburban house, as are supposed to have plenty of office room, where you can mow the grass on your own lawn without walking over on your neighbor's to turn around. It is not an expensive house to build, because the main framework is rectangular in form with square corners. There are projections enough to relieve the monotony of a straight-sided house, but they are also square-cornered and easily constructed. And that is all plain, straight work, that any one without not a regular carpenter, can on to advantage. These are all points the save in expense when building. You can main cost of a house is the labor, and I am going to give you another pointer. You can build a house that is just as good with a great deal less money if you select a design with triminings that may be furnished from stock carried regularly by lumbermasters, because you are saving hand lamps. Stock patterns of moldings, doors, and that are termed cabinet parts of houses are carried in regular stock are just a neat and attractive as especial design to fit some particular style. There are so many stock patterns and sizes to choose from that almost any one can be satisfied without going into specialties. The shape and general plan of this house makes it possible to lay out good, large, square corner rooms downstairs, with a center hall and bathroom in the rear without encroaching upon the size of one room to accommodate another. I like a center hall when you have room enough. It gives an impression of elegance as you enter the front door. First impressions are often lasting. True hospitality commences as you enter the house. If you receive the right kind of greeting you feel at home at once. It assists a hostess immensely to have an entrance First Floor Plan to her house that impresses guests favorably at first glance. Besides the general appearance, this hallway is a great convenience. It connect the front and back halls in an easy manner and offers a convenient way of going upstairs or down cellar. In fact, the two halls and stairway deserve especial consideration. It would be difficult to design anything more appropriate for a house of this size and shape. There is one bedroom and a bathroom on the first floor. This makes a very convenient arrangement where there are only two in the family and three in the occasional visitors. Advantage is to have a rib roof to build two splendid bedrooms on the second floor with fine large windows in the gable ends. Besides these we have a second bathroom, which is a great convenience when there are more than two or three persons in the house. The plan works well in another way. if a maid is kept you have conveniences downstairs that will appeal to a first-class girl. Times are such that you cannot keep good help unless you provide them with comfortable --- sleeping quarters and proper bathing facilities. There is a little room 7 feet by 11 feet 6 inches over the front hall that may be used as a bedroom for children, for storage or for a sewing room. Probably would prefer to make this room a work room. The window looks out onto the street, where there is something going on and where a woman Second Floor Plan can see callers as they approach. Every woman likes to have a little warning a few minutes before answering the door bell, if possible. You know life is made up of a great many little things, and this is one of them. If we get all the little details arranged to our liking the big things will take care of themselves. In studying a house plan, the size of the family, distance from town, railroad or other transportation facilities, the size of lot, the neighborhood and a great many other things must be taken into account. While a man's house may be his castle, he does not want to stay in the house all the time, and he cannot live alone. In building he must provide not only for his family, but on certain occasions for his friends as well. In this plan the large living room, with the big fireplace, flanked at the sides with comfortable seats, all help to make the house attractive to others as well as ourselves. Such rooms usually are furnished with large, heavy furniture that is comfortable as well as attractive to look at. The fireplace is a splendid ornament and, of course, it is always embellished with interesting brow-brace, and there is always a fire when the temperature requires one. Any woman who the popular in the neighborhood if she has a room like this and understands how to entertain in proportion to her advantages. While the front of the house is given especial consideration, the kitchen is by no means neglected. It has a corner of the house all by itself, with a good pantry and plenty of windows and conveniences to save steps. It is not necessary nor desirable to have a large kitchen. We have dis- with its the big wood cooking stove with its the good box; we have quit using the old-fashioned heavy cast-iron pots and kettles, and we have slowly learning that the large half-acre kitchen is no longer needed. We are saving the extra cleaning and the many miles of unnecessary steps that large kitchens entail. Her Definition. The late H. G. Herrick, who was for many years high sheriff of a certain county, always took a great interest in the local schools, and was at one time chairman of the school committee. Shortly after the death of Garfield, Sheriff Herrick visited a certain school and spoke to the pupils concerning the life of the distin guished statesman, and then asked: "Now, can any of you tell me what a statesman is?" A little hand went up and a little girl said: "A statesman is a man who makes speeches." "Hardly that," Mr. Herrick replied. "For instance, I sometimes makes speeches, and yet I am not a statesman." The little hand went up again, and again the little girl answered: "I know; a statesman is a man who makes good speeches."—Harper's Weekly. Hard Lines for the Woman.

New York.-Victor D. Brenner of this city is the designer of the Lincoln head, which will appear on the new cent to be issued by the government from the Philadelphia mint, August 1. Although Russian by birth, Mr. Brenner has found his opportunity in this country while working in the man, and he resents any designation that of a thoroughly loyal American. With the approach of the centennial of Lincoln's birth, Mr. Brenner, long a student of the anti-slavery Bas Relief Design for Lincoln Penny. movement, and an admirer of its ultimate exponent, began looking for a model on which to exercise his plastic art. His search was rewarded in a photograph which he found in possession of Prof. Charles Eliot Norton. His first study was expressed in a plaque, his second in a medal and his, which pleased him best, in the design will appear on the coin. Each study was characterized somewhat the preceding one, which included essentials of strength and simple earnestness which characterized Lincoln's countenance. "If you look carefully at the coin," Mr. Brennner said, "you will see that I have made him smiling. I wanted to show the sunshine as well as the goodness of his life. My intention has been to present a situation in which Lincoln might have appeared at his best. Finally I imagined him as talking to a child. That is the face on the coin. A man or woman is natural when speaking to a child. When adults converse they are usually on guard, but in talking to children relax face at their best. I am glad the head of money is on the cent, the piece of money most familiar to me. It was Lincoln who said that God must love the common people because he had made so many of them. I had rather have the head on the cent than on the $10 gold-piece." The Indian head, in use for more than a generation on the cent and now to be discontinued, is to share the fate of its predecessor, the eagle, for the reason that it is easily counterfeited. Early in the present year the government decided on a change, but even then it proposed to place the eagle on a coin on a coin, probably the half-dollar, Mr. Brendan Mitten's designs at Washington. The head was then assigned to the cent. NEW HEAD OF GOTHAM POLICE William F. B. Faker Appointed Commis- sioner by Mayor McClellan to Suc- ceed Gen. T. A. Bingham. New York—William F. Baker, who has been appointed police commis- sioner to succeed Gen. Theodore A. Bingham, has had more experience in William F. Baker. office-holding than in police matters, though he has been connected with the force for a long while, and at the time of his appointment was first deputy commissioner. He was secretary to Bird Coler when the latter was civil service commissioner, and from that position was transferred to the post of deputy police commissioner and put in charge of the borough of Brooklyn. Alleged pernicious political activity marked his operations in Brooklyn, and he was transferred by Gen. Bingham and established at headquarters. The feeling in general is that the appointee is political and that means a renewal of friendship between Mayor McChellan and Murphy, the Tammyman chief, and harmony between McCarren and Murphy, the combination having in mind the coming fall election for mayor and other officials.

So many of the utterances of our Southern brethren seem to be mere abultions of a passion which is supposed to be very heroic, that it is really refreshing to come across an article from a Southern newspaper that takes a reasonable and sensible view of things. We quote such an article in part from the Florida Times-Union in reference to a resolution to disfranchise the Afro-American, recently adopted by the Florida Senate: Do the gentlemen who are discussing this question not know that the South gained fifteen Representatives in Congress and fifteen electoral votes by the enfranchisement of the Negroes, and that we would lose more than that number now if they were disfranchised? Before the Negroes became voters the South had only HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM Illinois' Senior United States Senator, and Grand Old Man P. HON. WILLIAM LORIMER Illinois Junior Senator Who Took the Oath of Office June 18. three-fifth representation on the Negro population—that is to say, the representation of the 9,000,000 Negroes would now be cut to 5,000,000, we would lose the representation of 3,000,000 people—that is to say, nineteen Representatives in Congress and nineteen votes in the Electoral College. No force bill would be necessary to accomplish this. It would be accomplished by a return to conditions that prevailed before the Negro was enfranchised. Unfortunately, the South is ruled by two-by-four demagogues who are sent to the legislatures and who are impervious to any such thing as common sense. IN HONOR OF HARRIET TUBMAN. It is proposed to found at Auburn, New York, an industrial school as a memorial to Harriet Tubman Davis, who still resides in that city at the age of ninety. The school is to be under the auspices of the A. M. E. Zion church. Mrs. Davis well deserves such a memorial for she was one of the most remarkable women that any race ever produced. She was such an efficient conductor on the underground railroad, that Maryland offered $2,000 for her arrest. She was a friend of Seward, Garrison, John Brown, Gerrit Smith and Lincoln. She personally conducted 3,000 slaves from the South to freedom. She was a trusted spy for Major General Hunter during the rebellion. Though "unattached," congress granted her a pension. Judged by her works, she was the greatest woman the United States ever produced. WHAT IS A DEMOCRAT? It is possible that the puzzling question: What is a Democrat? may after all, be solved in a decade or two. Mr. Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has somewhat simplified the problem by specifying certain kinds of people who are not Democrats. He says: "No man can be either a prohibitionist or a protectionist and remain a Democrat. He who is either and claims to be a Democrat is a prevariationist." This at once disposes of the ridiculous pretensions of many false pretenders who have been strutting around in the robes of Democracy. It also diminishes the size of the Democratic party by an indefinite number of cubic inches. Judging by the number of states which have gone dry, there is an alarming scarcity of Democrats down in the land of cotton. It is quite gratifying to find that, at least, New York is willing that the Afro-American soldiers should be stationed there in view of the senseless hullabaloo that is raised every time it is ordered that a black regiment is to be stationed near some city. The "Fighting Tenth" came back from Manila a few days ago and land- ed in New York, and after being cheered by the crowds that lined the curb on Broadway on their way to the city hall park, where they were viewed by Mayor McClelland and other city officials. At the Armory they were served refreshments and there was speech making by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood and others. President McGowan, of the board of aldermen, said: "You have done more to kill race prejudice than all others. If the people of Vermont don't treat you right, come back here. The State of New York and the United States demand for you the respect of the community and State in which you are stationed." SHOULD BE NO RACE, CREED OR COLOR LINE. Prominent Jews are becoming dissatisfied with the policy of the government in classifying them as a distinct race, in the census and other official publications. They claim to be Americans as any other class of people, and so they are. Their case is the same as that of the Afro-Americans of the country, except that their status has not been legally declared by specific enactment as has been done in the case of the Afro-American. TURKS SUPERIOR TO CHRISTIANS? The general impression of the Turks is that they are a semi-barbarous race, and their country a blot upon the map of Europe. But we notice that Turkey has invited the Jews of Russia to settle in her borders and has assured them of protection. It certainly seems strange that the ancient people of God should be compelled to leave Christian Russia in order to accept the protection of Mohammedan Turkey. Mr. Jeffries, the white retired champion, asserts that he can wear out Mr. Johnson, the black champion and reduce him to a frazzle, n a few rounds. To this Mr. Johnson responds that the assertions of Mr. Jeffries are totally devoid of truth, owing to the fact that he, Mr. Johnson can wallow Mr. Jeffries in the twinkling of an eye. After using Jack Johnson as a means of advertising himself and making money for himself in his theatrical career, James Jeffries has given it out that he will not meet Johnson. Just what we suspected all along. The glorious 4th of July, just passed, was, perhaps, the sanest for many years, yet the fatalities and casualties reached dreadfully large proportions. The reform must continue for a while longer if lives and limbs would be safe. The Bomb By EDITH LIVINGSTON SMITH (Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.) Vladimir Valinoff reached the grand stand and scanned the faces before him. His own regular features were set in sterner mold than those of most of the merry-makers present, but he was calm. He enjoyed horse races. What man does not? But he would not enjoy this one. Each individual of the little secret band of which he was a member (and there were so few of them that the fingers of both broad hands would almost do to count them upon) would look upon that laughing, gay, expectant crowd this afternoon, all knowing—he shuddered slightly. Ah well! the lot had not fallen to him this time and he was thankful. Yes, they were all present—that was to avoid suspicion. He knew without looking—Lomanostoff and Luswig keen, shrewd old Pantli, the others who counted not so much, and Paul Roulanki. It was terrible that if should be Paul, he had so much of life yet to live if one of the others could have taken his place, and then there was his sister, Alexandria! As he looked across to the opposite side of the grand stand he could see the grand duke's box, and outside the enclosure sat Paul, talking gagly to a man beside him—a chance acquaintance it seemed. Why didn't Paul warn him? Vladimir wondered, and then in his heart the laughed at his folly. Warnings meant betrayal, and yet, was it right that the innocent sightseer should be, perhaps, murdered? Vladimir did not like the thought of the word and put it away from him, but he shifted his gaze. To EMERY his keen, sensitive nature the whole proceeding suddenly took on the aspect of the cruel, the repugnant, the grotesque. What had the grand duke done save be born into a royal family? Were the principles in which his creed was so well versed mistaken, perhaps, after all? His head swam a little and the crowd danced before his eyes. Ah well! these were troubled times, though horses were to run for a stake and women were laughing, their gay scars fluttering in the breeze, their flags waving and the toy balloons of childhood nodding merrily. Paul, too, had balloons in his hand, a whole bunch of them, and the people near him were smiling at his enthusiasm. Vladimir knew that one of those balloons—it was within the others—had a short handle. It would not float as lightly as the others—ah, no! Suddenly there were cheers. In the midst of the excitement he thought of Alexandria. How she had wanted to come to the races! It had taken all his powers of persuasion to convince her that the desirable seats were all taken, and that she could go to the more important races that would follow later in the season. She did not understand why he had not thought of taking her with him. How could she? Such secrets were not for women like her—thank God! The horses were coming in from the paddock now, and there was a hush of expectancy. A messenger boy touched Vladimir on the shoulder and he started. "M. Valinoff!" A note from her, from Alexandria! Her smoothly running, black writing—this time in pencil—how well he knew it. He tore open the envelope and the written message swam before his eyes: "Boloved, don't be cross! I am looking right at you. I am on the west side of the grand stand, a little behind Paul (only he doesn't know it, you may be sure!) Why were you so disagreeable about my coming to the races, I wonder. Last night I said I would try to get a seat, somehow, and Paul forbade me to go. 'Forbade,' forsooth! Imagine the audacity! But here I am. One of the Lentsoff girls sprained her ankle and her sisters came for me and her sisters it that I come. Oh! Vladimir, I wish I could bet. You will go home with us, won't you, and don't be angry—" There was more, but he read no further. In his soul he groaned. $162,000,000 Tribute to Fashion. According to Mr. William Dutcher, president of the Audubon Societies of the United States, birds save to the farmer $200,000,000 a year in the destruction of noxious insects and noxious weeds. The great destroyers of birds are the plume hunters for millinery purposes. Birds destroyed for for food are restocked by natural process, but the plume hunters recognize no closed season. Millinery interests in America represent $38,000,000 a year, as against the $200,000,000 worth of work done by the birds for the farmers. As bobwhite is the arch destroyer of the potato bug, and the cuckoo of the caterpillar, and the woodpecker of the boring grub, and the larks of the grasshoppers, and the sparrow of the weed seeds, President Dutcher thinks the birds are entitled to at least fair play from the milliners.—Outing Magazine. Service Done by Adversity. Adversity is a searching test of friendship, dividing the sheep from the goats with unerring accuracy, and this is a good service—John Watson, D. D. Aloud, to the messenger, he said: "There is no answer." She is here! Of a sudden he saw her. She waved her hand and in all that sea of faces there was no other for his dazed vision. The horses were ready for the drop of the flag. In the hush of expectancy Vladimir knew that the instant had come. The balloons in Paul's hand must be quivering, the grand duke was leaning forward, smiling. Vladimir rose to his feet. Thoughts fly fast when seconds tremble with death, but there was no time for warning, no time to get to her to take her away from what might be imminent death. In that brief instant Vladimir knew that he was, in his heart, a traitor to his cause. To do evil that good might come would never bring justice to humanity. It was no sane creed to which he had hinned his faith. "I would give it up—I will give it up," he said to his soul; "if I am to live, I will mete out tenderness to the oppressed, rather than violence to the powerful." Suddenly he knew what he must do—he must create an excitement to make her fly to him. He could see her so plainly, and she was looking at him through racing glasses. To fire in the air would leave her frightened and stunned—to aim among the crowd might injure others, but to—he thrust her note into his pocket—there was a glint of steel in his hand. He turned the weapon upon himself and fired. The revolver shot came like a boom in the silence. Women shrieked in the uncertainty of what had happened, but one woman knew and with agonized, hurrying footsteps, dashed for the aisle. "Keep your seats!" shouted the cool-headed, and there was frightened obedience from the crowd, but she plunged on. Women who saw her face made way for her; men, feeling her plight, helped her where they could, but she did not feel their guiding hands. Suddenly, like an awful roar of thunder, came that other sound! Vladimir, bleeding, barely conscious, heard it. "Thank God—I did—not—see— His surging brain trailed into throbbing in the dimness of the thought, and then he was in darkness. There was a panic, but there was no stampede. The frightened horses had been led back—there would be no race. Women fainted or sobbed and the few injured groaned. The cry ran through the crowd: "An attempt had been made upon the grand duke's life." The terrorist had given himself up and was led off by the police, though angry hands would have seized him. His hand had played him false. An unknown man had chosen the wrong moment to commit suicide and the shot had unnerved him. The grand duke was not even injured and was able to assist the wounded about his box. And Paul had-failed. She knelt beside the unconscious man. The doctor was bending over him. He was a large man with grave, earnest eyes, and he loked in her lovely, agonized face with a gaze of keen scrutiny. They were in one of the officer's boxes, whither they had carried Vladimir after the excitement had somewhat abated. "A terrorist who knew of the plot," some said. "He is not," the girl said, with quiet indignation, but a steady voice. "He knew nothing of the outrage. He is M. Vladimir Valinoff, my betrothed." Just then those near her spoke another name and she went white. The doctor saw the flood of emotions sweep her face—knowledge, love, agony, fear. He caught her gaze, steadying her with a look, and she did not speak. Bending over the injured man the doctor slipped something white from a pocket into one of his own. Alexandria alone saw the covert act. With professional deftness he worked on at the bandages. "The ambulance is waiting," one of the officials said, and the doctor rose to his feet to lead Alexandria to the door. "Will he recover?" she said, pleadingly. The doctor's hand closed over hers for an instant. "There is a chance, a faint chance," he said kindly. Then, as they passed the little knot of listeners he stood aside, formally, for the girl to pass out of the door. She felt the conjecture, she felt the suspicion. She almost thought she could hear them asking: "Why did he shoot himself if he was not one of them?" She drew herself upright in gentle dignity and her lip trembled. Her eyes, in proud confidence, sought the doctor's alone, but her words were not low. "We—we had quarreled," she said, humbly. "Please help him to live." In the doctor's face was a look of admiration and understanding; in hers a quick flash of answering gratitude. "You may depend upon me to do all in my power, mademoiselle," he said with grave courtesy, "and I wish to thank you for so speedily identifying the injured man. There were no papers of any sort on his person." The tide had turned. The little group at the door stepped back in unspoken sympathy. Area Equal to That of Europe. The total continental area of the United States, including Alaska, is about equal to that of all Europe. The young clubman had been introduced to a beautiful Russian actress. He was charmed, entranced, and he finally led her to the conservatory, where they might have a quiet minute to themselves. "Pardon me," he said. "I did not quite catch your name." "What is that you did not do?" "Catch your name." "Oh, your language is so strange. Do you want to know my name?" "Yes; your full name." "Will you catch it this time?" "I'll do my best." "Well, it's Vera Federovina Kommisarjewskaya." — Hertzberger's Weekly. The Wickedest People. I think the wickedest people on earth are those who use a force of genius to make themselves selfish in the noblest things; keeping themselves aloof from the vulgar, the ignorant, and the unknown; rising higher and higher in taste, till they sit. ice on ice, on the mountain top of eternal congelation—Henry Ward Resher. ```markdown ``` An unaccented Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, offers English and English High School courses, with industrial Training.

Elected for the Fourth Time as_Na- +. tional Grand Master of U. B. F.. and S. M. T. of delegates and visitors were ex: pected, but as a matter of fact there were not many over one thousand, and it is safe to say that a large ma. jority of them are delighted with their visit, % The local committee had made such preparations as were possible for the entertainment of the visitors so. that there were no idle moments, The visitors began to arrive as early as last Friday and came in more or less numbers on every train from the Sonth, The housing committee took the ‘best care of them possible and very Tew were dissatisfied. "There was a little friction on Mon- @ay when the faction known as the “Rarmorites.” under the leadership of Walter M. Farmer, Esq., of Chicago. undertook’ to take possession of the ‘capitol, where the sessions were held, but when they found they could not do that they rented Elks’ Hall, 126 E, Third street, and held their’ ses: sions there. It is understood that there were only ‘three states represented by Grand Masters in the Farmer meet- ing, viz, Texas, Tennessee and Mis- souri, «nd there were a few individ. ual delegates from other states, The Gaines faction, which included among its adherents Grand Masters from twelve out of sixteen states in which the Order has grand lodges, met in the old capitol, with 451 votes. As all the business is of a fraternal natnre and behind closed doors only certain parts are made public. And as the offices or officers form the bone of contention around which the great- est interest centers no attempt will be made to give a detailed account of anything exeept their election, which was as follows: ‘W.

Webster, Monday evening, which was very largely at- tended and was a most enjoyable af. fair. ‘Tuesday evening there was a grand boat excursion on the Mississippi, which was most enjoyable, upward of 500 exeursionists taking advantage of it. Wednesday there was the grand street parade at 1:30 p. m., which was one of the finest parades ever seen in the city, the procession being balf an hour passing a given point ‘There were three Afro-Americar bands, several floats and large wag ons and other vehicles and automo. biles in a large number. There were four uniformed camps that made 2 splendid appearance. The streets were lined with spectators as the pa rade passed, who lustily cheered the special features. Splendid pictures were taken of the parade and groups of the camps and members of the Grand Lodge at the new capitol. The parade disbanded at Pilgrin Baptist church, where a splendic memorial service was held. On Wednesday evening there wa: the grand reception and ball at St Panl’s magnificent Auditorium.

Kansas City, Mo.—During the annual session of the American Institute of Homeopathy, held in this city a year ago, Dr. William Davis Foster of Kansas City was elected president of the institute for the following year. To show his appreciation of his election Dr. Foster had made a gavel which he presented to the institute. A year was required for Dr. Foster to get together the material of which it is made. The gavel is made of 77 pieces of wood, a piece from every state ```markdown ``` Gavel Which Contains 77 Pieces of Wood. Gavel Which Contains 77 Pieces of Wood. and territory in the United States and from Germany and France. There are pieces from the houses or the possessions of all of the pioneers of homeopathy. Each piece in the gavel is numbered. In a bound volume, called the "Gavel Book," is contained all the correspondence bearing upon the gathering of the material of which the gavel is made. The varieties of wood used include mahogany, white pine, ebony, black walnut, rosewood, sequoia gigantea, vegetable ivory, surrender oak, Arizona ironwood, redwood, a bit from an Indian medicine man's tomahawk from Alaska, orange wood, diamond willow, fir, petrified wood, yellow cedar, cherry and yellow pine. Each piece is numbered with a small gilt number. In the "Gavel Book" under a corresponding number is a short biographical sketch of the person of whom the piece is a souvenir. The ends of the gavel are gold. One end is engraved with "Similia Similibut Currentur." Upon the others is engraved "Presented to the American Institute of Homeopathy by William Davis Foster, M. D., President 1900." The handle is ebony tipped with ivory. MENTIONED FOR THE CABINET Washington Rumor Says Congressman Scott of Kansas May Succeed Secretary Wilson. Washington.—There is a revival in Washington of the gossip that Secretary Wilson will retire from the de Congressman C. F. Scott. partment of agriculture in December and that Representative Scott of Kansas will succeed bihm. Several prominent papers have printed stories to that effect. It was said at the White House that the matter had not been considered there, and Representative Scott said that the president had never mentioned the subject to him. Secretary Wilson has held the place under three presidents—McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft—and holds the record for cabinet service. Charles F. Scott represents the Second Kansas district, is chairman of the committee on agriculture, and is serving his fifth term in congress. Two of his terms were as congressman-at-large. He was born in Kansas, lives in Iola and is editor and owner of the Iola Register. Broke His Spirit. "Boo-hoo!" sobbed little Jimmy, "it don't pay to be patriotic these times."

DEAIR SIRS.—I have used only one bottle of your pomade and now I would not be without it, in kind or not. It is great and easy to comb and also starts a new growth. MRS. W. F. WALKER, Sta. I. Harriman, Tenn. Ford's Hair Pomade (Formerly known as Ozonized Ox Marrow) Ford's Hair Pomade makes its merits. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade is born, harsh, kinky or curly-hair straight, in any style desired to comb, and arrange in any style desired to comb. Removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the hair, stops the hair from falling out or breaking, and makes the hair as length. Absolutely harmless—used with splendid resin even on the youngest children. Ford's Hair Pomade is a measure, as ladies of refinement everywhere declare. Ford's Hair Pomade has imitators. Don't buy it until you see it. If you want the best results, buy the best Pomade—it will pay you. Look for this name DR. HURD 91 E. SEVENTH ST.

While we have kept free from all entangling alliances, the influences of the United States, first in the perpetuation of the Monroe doctrine, and secondly in the enforcement of the open door in China, has forced this country to the front as an exponent of aggressive diplomacy. The secretary of state nowadays must be original and creative, rather than sly, secretive and devious. Modern diplomacy is honest, and Secretary Knox with his great reputation as an acute lawyer behind him ought to be able to achieve as splendid a reputation as did Secretaries Hay and Root. Under our modern system the secretary of state is something more than a diplomatist. He becomes the chief and most confidential adviser of the president. When the real history of Elliho Root's connection with President Roosevelt's administration comes to be written it will be found that both as secretary of war and then as secretary of state his principal service was outside of his own department. It was as a great lawyer that he became the most valuable and in everything he undertook, whether it was a bill of rights for the Filipinos, a government for Cuba, or a friendly compact with Japan, there was always seen in it the hand of the personal lawyer and confidential adviser of the president. Mr. Root was called into consultation in almost every case where a man with his training would prove valuable. He gave advice to the president more often on domestic than on foreign affairs, and through the whole list of activities of the Roosevelt administration, from trust prosecutions to the pure food law, Elihu Root was constantly at the president's elbow, and his advice, as the president himself said, was more often taken than that of any other man in the country. AT LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, AUGUST 18, 19 and 20, 1909. An Excellent Programme Has Been Prepared—Side Trip to Mammoth Cave Arranged—Reduced Rates From Southwestern Passenger Territory. Pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church. The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Business League, which is to be held at Louisville in, "Old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the League at Boston nine years ago. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for delegates for the South (a fare and a half, plus 50 cents), the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for, all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the local Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the League and the generous provisions already made for recreation and entertainment of delegates who visit and satisfies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. The program has been carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia. Printed copies will soon be available. On Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave (46 miles from Louisville) will be conducted by the Louisville League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom are members of the league, what is universally conceded to be one of the greatest wonders of the world.

"On the first day of the present month I was a guest of one of the most remarkable dinners ever given," remarked Judge A. W. Rucker, the brand new congressman from Denver. "This banquet was held 1,000 feet below the surface of the earth, in the chamber of a mine on the outskirts of Leadville. The chamber, which had been transformed into a magnificent dining room, was about forty feet wide by seventy feet long, and had a lofty roof. A kitchen had been improvised and a clever chef got up a dinner for 300 people that none of the swell hotels of New York would have repudiated. The guests were nearly 79er's, that is to say, ploneers in the old days of 1879, when Leadville's fame as a greater producer of the precious metals attracted the attention of the world. "The feast was given in commemoration of the birth of the mining camp, and those who made merry were the adventurous souls who figured then. "On the day of the function we rode to the mouth of the tunnel, where we made our descent into the bowels of the earth through a fierce blizzard—one of the worst I ever saw in the West. Getting in the big cage that took us down the shaft to this queer banquet hall far below Leadville and the surrounding towns, we landed in a brilliantly lighted room that was as inviting and serene as a tropical isle. The contrast between it and the storm through which the party had come was curious in the extreme, but it added greatly to the joyousness of the occasion." A Hogarthian Inn Sign. One of the most humorous inn signs is "The Man Loaded With Mischief," which is found about a mile from Cambridge, on the Madingley road. The original "Mischief" was designed by Hogarth for a public house in Oxford street It is needless to say the signboard, and even the name, have long ago disappeared from the busy London thoroughfare, but the quaint device must have been extensively copied by country sign painters. There is "Mischief" at Wallingford and a "Load of Mischief" at Norwich. The inn on the Madingley road exhibits the sign in its original form. Though the colors are much faded from exposure to the weather, traces of Hogarthian humor can be detected. A man is staggering under the weight of a woman, who is on his back. She is holding a glass of gin in her hand; a chain and padlock are around the man's neck, labeled "Wedlock." On the right hand side is the shop of "S Gripe, Pawnbroker," and a carpenter is just going in to pledge his tools. P. EMMETT J. SCOTT, ESO I am seeking my father, George R. West.

We have got into the habit of tea and coffee drinking just as some men form the habit of beer and spirit drinking.. Tea, coffee, beer, wine and spirits are stimulants and all unnecessary, especially for children. Tea and coffee are least harmful when drunk in moderation and when properly made. Stewed tea is especially harmful. Tea should not be taken with a meat meal, as it affects digestion and injures the stomach. Sunday Services, Preaching, 11 a. m.
