cabbage in the original packages, neat
one hundred pound hampers, is coming
from Copenhagen, Denmark. The
transportation companies get more out
of these shipments than do the producers,
the freight through exceeding the orig
inal cost. The same may be said of
Irish potatoes and onions. All of these
crops are the most prolific and profitable
that can be grown, which makes it all
the more strange that those engaged In
agriculture do not give more attention to
them. In some sections of the south,
particularly in middle Georgia and Ten
nessee. farmers have turned their atten-
ton largely to truck farming" as they
call 1.-THE growing of vegetables and
small fruits-and they have prospered as
never before. Farmers who have suita-
BILE land and convenient shipping facili-
ties and markets readily accessible, stand
very much in their own light that they

Boston's pet, John L. the slugger,
seems to have carried with him abroad
something of the New England idea of
getting himself interviewed. At any
rate an English newspaper managed by
some means to get an opinion from the
champion bruiser IN regard to Mr.. Cleve-
land. He is credited with saying that
the president is "a man with a record of
progress that none can beat, although he
is not in many things a very intelligent
man. By this. perhaps, John means
that Grover is deficient III science" but
probably he will open up on the subject
at greater length. 1t may be, however,
that the state department will deem this
testimonial sufficient to entitle the depo-
nent to recognition and forward him an
appointment to some desirable station
without further delay OF ado. John LIS

escorted by score of policemen, started FOR
their homes. They were followed by crowd
of about three hundred men and boys. A
