THE BEET-sUGAR INDUSTRY.

Germany May Forbid Export OF Seed,
Which America Cannot Produce.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16-lSpecial. Referring
to the beet-root industry. William Hender-
soR. of New York, gave reporter today
an interesting bit Of Washington City gos-
sip. at is nothing more or less, /" he said,
s'than . secret intimation that Germany
intends to prevent. by excessive export
duties. the shipping of beet sugar seeds to
America. Should this prove true, the in-
dustry is liable to receive q terrible blow,
for. though our soil. or certain parts of it,
is prime for the growing of beets, there is
something lacking to produce seeds that will
grow an equal quality of beets. Moreover,
were beets grown here of that kind, the
industry is so much in its infancy that not
half the demand for seeds could be sup
piled. The motive that would actuate
Germany to such deed must be- it is
thought. her desire to not only protect her
own beet sugar industry, but to take q
back-handed slap at US in retaliation for
the injury done her by the Mckinley bill.
No open steps in that direction have yet
been taken by the German government,
but the source of Secretary Rusk's infor.
nation is excellent"

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Interest has been
excited by the story of the eventful life of
William II. Spencer, of this city, who died
suddenly in the Chicago hotel q fortnight
ago, and whose body was cremated Sunday
ct Fresh Pond, Long Island. Spencer was
the son of President Tyler's secretary of
the treasury, and married Tyler's daugh-
ter. It is stated that the couple were
twice remarked. A curious development
in the case has been the discovery of two
other wives and q daughter left by HIM. A
contest between the two widows over the
estate Of the deceased is expected to follow.

Gus game birds by the State Commissioners,
Drury Melone has recently received at his
Oak Knoll Farm, near Nspa. four japanese
pheasants, one male and three females.
Mr.. Melone proposes TO turn them loose
upon his ranch with view to stocking the
country thereabouts. The Japanese pheas-
ants multiply rapidly, and in few years
the birds will be so plentiful land probably
so mischievous) that Mr.. Melone and his
friends will find it some work to kill them
off. a shipment of Chinese quail is also
expected at Oak Knoll soon.

IN the threat of Russia to subvert ut
terly the remaining liberty of the Firms,
by abolishing the representative legislative
body of Finland, there is brought to the
surface one of the most melancholy pages
in northland history. For more than ten
centuries Finland was free, and its terri
tory, embracing half water and half land,
144, 900 square miles, was the home of a
people who were at liberty to govern them
selves or submit to the mild sway of
Sweden, noted for her equitable laws and
love of justice. Russia, jealous of this
people and their friendship for their Swed-
ish neighbors, labored for three hundred
years to gain control of them. Often the
autocrats of Russia seized upon portions of
the country, but as frequently the Firms
wrenched off their shackles and turned
back to their Scandinavian love. In 1909,
however, Russian domination over them
became absolute. But at that time the
first Alexander so respected the gallant
behavior of the Firms and their undisputed
heroism, that he pledged on his oath that
the liberties, religion and laws of Finland
should remain to it. 1t has remained
after eighty-one years of observance Of that
voluntary obligation for another Car
Alexander to menace the liberties of Fin
land, and give notice that as Grand Duke
he will assert himself as their supreme
ruler. The Finnish tongue is to be for
bidden, and the language of Russia only is
to be taught in the schools. Finland is
no longer to coin or print its own money
its representatives are no longer to speak
in the Finnish Legislature, except by
gracious permission of the Gar. The days
of oppression are dot at an end despite the
enlightenment of the age.

entertained by anyone, and recognition of
the wonderful influence of the newspaper
as an educator is the reason that this jour
nal has been so diligent in efforts to ele-
vate the standards OF the profession of
journalism. But we agree heartily with a
writer in the North -4merican ReUieW who
protests that there is a tendency to make
newspaper reading the only reading Ger
tainly there are evidences that the busi-
ness man allots himself, in the majority of
cases, only time enough for reading the
morning and evening paper. 1t is GER
tainly true that a reading education of
that character tends to superfciality. 1t
disposes to looseness of thought, and
its drift is to make the reader illogical in
his methods OF reasoning-because he will
lose the art, or not gain it, OF commanding
his mental powers in orderly array for the
digestion of subjects presented. The news
paper is the foremost educating agency of
the day., 1t is the greatest news gatherer
and dissemination of news known TO man,
but reading that is confined to the snatch
ing of an item here, an editorial note there.
short story or poem of a finger length, a
bit of information, bit of politics, bit OF
dogmatism, cannot well store mind.
Newspaper men ought to encourage the
substantial, orderly and deliberative read
ing of good books, thorough treatises and
the standard authors, because the demand
for good style and sound thought in news
paper work will thus be promoted and as
a consequence the press will meet the de-
mand by better work on its part. 1t is
common thing to hear the busy man say,
Il have not read a book in five or six
years; have no time to peruse works that
compose the mind, strengthen the intel
lectual powers and give rest and satisfac-
tion from toll. | read the newspapers,
and in this day of mammoth sheets l can
do no more" And such confession, as will
be realized after a moments thought, is
one that reflects discredit upon the
busy class. The truth is that we are too
busy. We rush" between business and
| the home, which is too oft merely board
| ing place, with such regularity and per-
sistency that life becomes grind and
rush, and we harden, and case over, and
lose sympathy with humanity and nature,
and break down at middle age, when the
very time for the enjoyment OF vigor has
been reached. We need to take more rest,
to have more avocations, to get out of the
groove, and to rest thereby; We need to read
not only thedaily news, but to devote some
time daily to that substantial, restful, Or
derby and strengthening reading that is
balm for the weary brain, and checks the
busy man in the rush that is CARRYING
Americans forward with nervous energy
that results in early decay of the powers.

THE rumor, or suspicion, that Emperor
William wrote the pamphlet laudatory OF
himself which has just appeared in Berlin,
is unworthy. William is autocratic a
notable example of imperialism, and is
troubled with self-conceit, but he is not
such fool as to write pamphlet in his
own praise. He has wit enough to know
that such scheme would surely come to
light and make him laughing stock Of
the world.

Winning a Wife in Arkansas.

From the Chicago Herald.
The sun had just broken over the tops of the
Ozarks one warm morning in July The mist
that always settles thickly over these half
mountains with the nightfall was going to
pieces and disappearing as the sun rose higher,
leaving the green ana dense verdure heavy
and wet with the dew. In a cozy nook on log
overhanging tho wild little stream that dashed
down from n gushing spring above a native
was seated, earnestly playing jewsharp. He
twanged the vibrant metal with his thumb.
keeping time by splashing one of his bare feet
IN the clear water below. After ten minutes,
during which time the sun had got high enough
to shine straight in his eyes. he took the harp
from his mouth and wiping it ON the leg Of his
trousers. exclaimed:
Thar! Ell tibet dom settler, whut will?"
Before he had spoken another word a
stranger stepped from behind a big tree and
addressed him:
on one of those instruments"
The mountaineer looked at the stranger q
moment, and then, drawing himself mp in Q
knot on the log, said:
"D'ye mean it, mister?"
"Mean 1t? OF course. Why do you ask?"
It's lax this mister. Yer see hev been lest

As the stranger moved on down the path the
mountaineer struck mp his tune again and
played with q vim that was evidence that the
stranger had been telling the truth.
