crat. AS to how the diamond ring got in the
watermelon patch no botanist knows or
cares; but, surprising that some one dropped
it or hid it, the ring could make its way
into the melon very easily, or rather, the
melon could easily make its way around the
ring.
Even stone is often found in fruit. If
the ring fell on the young melon and sur
rounded even its end, the fruit in its growth
would cover it completely and hide il fro m
view. AT first the cut through the skin
would be plainly discernlble, and, although
later on this would largely grow out, there
would always be mark. If this valuable

The President Puts in the Time Upon His
Annual Message.
There was no cabinet meeting today and this
fact caused great deal Of speculation among
the political guessers now in town. The reason
of the change in program, however, was not
sensational in the least. The President merely
wanted to make time on his message and he
put in several hours Of hard work uninter-
rupted by callers
The general reputation of Friday as a cabinet
day has a tendency to frighten callers away
from the White House, and the President
rather stole . march on the public
by sending word around to the
departments in the morning announcing that
there would be no meeting. The shrewdness
of this move was shown by the fact that there
was but one person admitted to the Presidents Q
Office. Secretary Blaine. -
The message is absorbing most of the Presi-
dents time just now and he is hard at work
upon it. He will probably finish it about Fri
day. He devoted today TO considera-
tion of foreign and diplomatic matters,
with q view to review of such
things in the document, and soon after Secre-
tary Blaine's call q clerk was sent over to the
White House with copies of some of the corre-
