4 Soldiers BriGht Idea.

One day soon after Pope's defeat at
second Bull Run and Chantilly, q pri-
vate soldier belonging to an Ohio regi-
ment sought an interview with his Cap
tain, and announced that he had plan
for military campaign, which must
certainly result in crushing out the re-
bellion. The officer very naturally in
quired for particulars, but the soldier
refused to reveal them, and asked for a
chance to lay his plans before Pope
himself. After some delay he was given
a pass to headquarters He did not get
to see Pope, but after the chief of staff
had coaxed and promised and threatened
for quarter of an hour the Buckeye
stood up and replied:
''Well. sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee to swap commands. and if
we don't lick the South inside of sixty
days you may shoot me for patent hay
fork swindlerr'
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he met
with. and he ruefully replied:
''Wall, they had plan of their own. :"
s'What was it?''
'Why. they took me out and booted
me for a mile and a half. Detroit

Too Much Wheat.

The low price of Wheat which is ruling
at the present time is attributed by
those who are best informed, to the vast
increase in the acreage planted through
ont the world.
The monopoly at one time enjoyed by
the farmers of the Western and Middle
States in the foreign markets in this
cereal has been taken away from them
BY the development of the Great North
west, the improvement in machinery for
milling Spring Wheat, and especially
by the stimulus given by England to her
colonies in raising Wheat, in order to
make herself independent of this country
and Russia.
Farmers should turn their attention
more to crops in which they have
special advantages. In this latitude the
lands are peculiarly adapted to Corn
and Castor Beans, and the area for sue
cessful cultivation of the latter is smaller
than for Corn.
Castor Beans are only raised for COM
mercial purposes in India and the
United States, and the farmer Is pro-
tected by heavy duty against the In
dia Bean, and the home demand for
several yesrs has exceeded the supply.
The cultivation of the Castor Bean is
No more dificult-in fact, is about the
same as that of Corn. It is not ex-
hausting but fertilizing to the soil. and
for farmers situated some distance from
the railroads, the Bean is . much more
profitable crop, as more money u real
lied for one bushel Of Beans than five
bushels of Corn. It may also be said
in its favor that the Bean viii keep in ,
dry place without injury for an inde-
finite period. Friend, april,

A wild, ringing. almost fendish laugh

The pen is powerless to describe the
scene that followed. The Indian girl,

The Gambling Clubs OF Paris.

Clubs are quite modern institution
III Paris. The oldest is the Cercle de
rUnion, founded in 1928; then comes
the Jockey, founded in 1888, and the
Cercle Agricole, founded about the
same time. The Union is the most aris-
tocratic and exclusive of all the Paris
clubs. aud the only club where game
of cards is rarity, Out of the $50
members of this club 299 have titles,
varying from Royal Highness down to
Baron. The dinner is exquisite and
costs only seven francs without wine,
which, together with the wages of the
cook. implies for the club loss of some
So, 900 a year. The entrance fee at the
Union is 800 and the annual subscrip
ton $40. At the Jockey Club the num-
Der of members is about 100, of whom
about $50 are men of title; the entrance
fee is $2lO; annual subscription, $50;
dinner, seven francs without wine; rent
of rooms, 1926, 1856; lighting. 1890; SER
vice, $4,000. Cercle Agricole, en-
trance, 800; subscription, $50. Cercle
de la Rue Royale, entrance, $40; sub
scription, $40; rent. $4,000. Cercle de
rUnion Aristique, entrance, $50; sub
scription, $50; rent, $4,000. These
fgures may be taken as typical. The
. trance fees and subscriptions of the
.';.ris clubs are moderate. The dinner
varies from seven to four francs. The
expenses are very heavy; the rent often
enormous (the Cercle du Champs
Elysees pays more than $4,000 year
remit. How, then, do the majority of
the clubs exist? Mainly by the profits
of gambling-by the cagnotte. l do not
say that this is the case with every club
in Paris, but out of the sixty-four clubs
now existing you could not name more
than half dozen where the cagnotte is
not the nerve and sinew of the whole
institution. They are simply gambling
houses. where you are induced by a
certain amount of material comfort and
an excellent dinner to try all the other
facilities for running yourself that the
place offers.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia

Women and Umbrellas.

Long-continued observation has con.
WINGED us that the welfare of society de
mands immediate consideration OF the
question as to whether women should
be allowed to carry umbrellas. 1t may
be urged in defense of continuing the
privilege that to refuse it would be in
violation of the inalienable right of the
pursuit of happiness. But if woman
gets any happiness out of knocking of
people hats and gouging out their
eyes, to say nothing Of tangling up the
points of the umbrella ribs in the hail
of other women, she ought to be in.
duced either by moral suasion or legal
compulsion to pursue happiness in some
other way. 1t is well-recognized
principle that the rights of one person
end where those of another begin; and
since woman seems to be unable to
keep her umbrella outside of the corpo-
rate limits of other people it is quite
evident that she ought to be limited in
the exercise of her right to carry UNI
brellas to the Sahara. the alkali plains.
and the Russian steppes. If woman
were capable of being educated in the
proper carrying of umbrellas there
would be some hope that with the proc
ess of education and development she
might learn to WELD her present death
dealing weapon above the danger-line.
But it is physical impossibility. She
is born that way. She can no more
carry an umbrella Us it ought to be
carried than she can throw stone with
out those indescribabie gyrations. or
catch ball when she doesn't wear an
apron. 1t is too true, but she must &C
cept the consequences just as she must
accept the consequence of being unable
to throw straight, the inevitable conse-
quence of never hitting anything. This
being true, and moral suasion having
failed to bring about the desired end,
nothing remains but to protect The hats,
eyes aud hair of the community by legal
means. And it will be seen at once that
this is a fit subject for constitutional
prohibition. The aim is to secure a
large portion of the community in the
possession of their inalienable rights of
wearing their hats on the tops of their
heads and keeping their natural eyes

Four Boys Did 1t.

It was nothing--nothing but the body
of laboring man suspended to a limb
of a tree on Seventh street, moving like
a pendulum as the night wind swayed

spectacle and dropped two bars Of soap

and ran scre, ming away. Two boys
came along and took skip through the
mud and raised q yell, and the driver
of milk-wagon stopped his horse and
rang his bell in way to bring dozen
householders out doors. A half circle
was formed about the tree, policeman
sent for, and sudden hush fell upon
the crowd.

Fifteen or twenty persons suggested
that somebody run for the Coroner, but
no one started. A dozen others sug-
