CRISP is Randall Democrat, which
means that he isn't free trader. He
represents the element of progress in
the 'new South" Mills is rabid iree
trader, and represents the bourbon Gle
ment which does not recognize a "new

Crisp in the speakership fight. The
bourbon, free trade element has the
Democratic party by the throat, as Re-

Mapping the World.

Almost the whole OF Europe has
been covered by exact surveys Even
in the Balkan states, where the easy
going and unscientifc Turk has done,
almost nothing to map the country
that was long under his control, the
work has been done for him by the EN-
terprise OF the Russians, Austrians
and Germans, who naturally have
taken very great interest in ma ping
this mountainous and debatable huar-
ter of Europe. The first COUNT " on
the continent to undertake minute
surveys was France, in 175O, AMI the
work has steadily progressed inIvari-
Gus countries until almost the Ahole
of Europe has been mapped IN bel utii-
full and elaborate detail We Ind,

The Dog Got There.

1t is well known that most animals,
quadrupeds, are natural swimmers,
but | know of an exception which is
as well authenticated as it is peculiar.
A gentleman of our neighborhood had
a foxhound which was mortally afraid
of deep water and could swim but a
few strokes. His head would invari-
ably go down and his hind quarters
up, when he would have to be rescued.
A friend who well knew the dogs fail
ing, made a bet with the owner that
the unfortunate beast could not swim
across good-sized stream which they
had to cross. When the stake was
put up the proprietor of the pheno-
menon calmly ATTACHED good-size
stone to the CANNES tail, and with
equilibrium thus restored in this nov
ell manner he successfully swan the
stream with head and shoulders
triumphantly poised, winning the
wager for his ingenious master-For
est and Stream.

Cultivating the Mustache.

A st. Louis man, says the Globe
Democrat, has for several years been
annoyed by a curious circumstance.
One side of his mustache grows about
twice as fast as the other, and if it is
neglected for a few weeks he will sud-
denly notice that it is half an inch to
an inch longer on the left than on the
right. He is obliged to keep cutting it
Off from time to time to make things
even. He had not the faintest idea
what caused the greater luxuriance or
the left until, recently, he asked bal
Der about it, and the man asked him
how his desk stood in relation to the
light. He replied that for years he had
occupied a desk with window on his
left, which at once explained the diff
Guilty. Hair, like vegetables, grows
best In the light, and ascertaining the
fact my friend at once had his desk
changed to the other side OF the win
dow in order to givethe right side Of
his mustache a chance to develop. He
is awaiting the result with some inter
est, and if the change in growth shifts
with the light he is going to face the
window.

Why the Price Of Soup Was
Raised.

The price has been advanced five
cents a plate for soup orders at
4oung's hotel because we would like to
freeze out those who are known as the
'soup fends." They order plate Of
soup, and, not content with the allow
ance OF bread and butter usually ac-
companying such an order, ask for
more. Sometimes this order is repeat
ed twice and three times, so that when
we come to reckon up the profits OF
the day we find that We are not in
frequently out from ten to fifteen cents
on soup orders This is the reason
we have raised the price Of soup from
fifteen to twenty cents per plate. The
same difficulty has prevailed in other
hotels, and am pleased to learn that
the proprietors, like ourselves, have
made a notable advance In the price.
It is the only way to hopefor anything
like profitable business with these,
people. Interview in Boston Globe.

FATHER OF FoRTY-oNE.

q Man Who Materially SWelled this
Census Rolls,
The death near Allentown Pa, a
few days ago Of David Heffrer recalls
the fact that he IVES one Of family OF
fortyone children. His father was
John Hefner Of Reading, who was &C
cidentally killed by the cars IN that
place six years ago at the age of sixty
nine
Heffner was one OF Readings char
acters and it is doubtful whether pa
rental record has been equalled in
modern times in this country. He
was dwarfed hunchback and was bort;
IN Berlin, Germany, in 1916. In 1915
he came to this country and shortly
after he arrived settled in Reading.
Until his death he made a living BY
collecting and selling rags and paper
His remarkable family history is part
OF the records of the Berks County
courts, it having beenf found out short
timesbefore his death, while he was a.
witness in a, lawsuit.
He was married the first time in
1910 to a buxom young woman of his
native land. In eight years she bore
him seventeen children. The first and
second years their marriage she gave
birth to twins, and for four successive
years afterWard she bore triplets. In
the seventh year she gave birth to one
child and soon afterWard died. OF the
seventeen children she left the Oldest
was consequently only seven years of
age.
Heffner engaged a young woman to
look after his large brood of babies,
and three months later she assumed
the robes of a bride and became Mrs.
Hefner No. 2.
She presented her husband with two
children the first two years, and in the
next five years added ten more to the
lot, two at each birth. Then for three
years she added but one a year.
She died before another year came
around.
OF the thirty -two John Heffner had
been blessed with, twelve had died at
the time his second wife had passed
away. The twenty that were left did
not appear to be an obstacle to a.
young widow with one child consent

~ little hunchback, for he was known
as one OF the happiest OF men, not
wlthstanding that his igfamily made
him work like slave.
The third Mrs. Heffner became the
mother of nine children to her hus-
band in ten years, and the content
ment and happiness OF the couple
were proverbial. s.
One day in the Fall OF 1885 the IA
ther of the. forty one children, while
crossing the railroad track, was struck
by an engine and was run over and
killed. But for that sad ending it is
impossible to estimate what the size
OF the little hunchback' s family might
have been. His widow and twenty
eight Of his children are still living,
most OF them in Reading. They are q
thrifty lot and very respectable.
