might be most profitably utilized for the
cultivation OF this plant, which has been
found SO valuable for food purposes In the
empire OF the car that $50, 900 acres in that
country are annually planted with it.
Two kinds there are ohiefY-one which
bears small seeds used IN making oil, while
the other produces big seeds, whloh are con-

A Young Maine Sam son.


Lemont M. Leavitt was born in June,
1886, in the old town Of Turner. About the
hrst thing Lemont began to do after he
opened his eyes and uttered his first cry was
to grow. His strength increased daily, and
when years old his skill with the ak at
tracted much attention. He would chop
more wood then than half OF the hired men
could, and his services were much sought
by young men In the nelghborhood who
were too lazy to do their own chores on the
farm.
Last summer the youthful giant rendered
a genuine surprise to his parents and neigh
oors. A party Of men were building a wire
fence near by. A pole was run through the
center of a very large coil OF wire, and
everything was in readiness to unwind it,
when 1t was found that man expected to
assist could not get there. Master Leavitt
happened along, and taking In tho situq-
ton, picked up one end of the pole on bis
shoulder and marched Off, keeping step with
the man who held the other end in his arms
only by the greatest exertion, while the man
behind hung on to the wire while it was
being uncoiled. Thus for nearly half mile
did the 6-year-old Samson bear the burden
that would have made many a full~devel-
oped man shrink.
just think of it, not years old, yet Mas
ter Leavitt tips the scales at 1857 pounds in
a light SUIT. He is active, both physically
and mentally, and the Gazette is willing to
back him as being the handsomest and
strongest boy of his age in Christendom.

THE SOUTHERN COLONY AGIrATED
The Gossips Make Trouble Between
Two Weil-known Southern Families.

The Gossips Make Trouble Between
Two Weil-known Southern Families.
New York, April THE New York
southern colony is in a great futter to-day
over the publication of the story OF a social
controversy involving two well known famI-
lies. According to the details Miss Isabella
Greene OF Atlanta, Ga, charges that Mrs
John 5. Wise has said things derogatory TO
her She has followed this up with a
formal demand for an apology through
her grandfather, Col. F. G. Skinner OF
Richmond, Va The whole trouble
has arisen out of a dancing class
which is under the patronage of Mrs. Wise,
and which Is composed OF the exclusive set
Of southern society. Miss Greene was not
asked to the first dance. When she didn't
appear at the second certain influential
members of the class wrote to Mrs. Wise
demanding the reason for the failure to in
wife her. The matter came up in commit
tee, and Mrs. Wise, so it Is declared made
certain remarks concerning Miss Greene, at
which the young lady has since taken UNI
bragg.
Miss Greene is now living at the New
York hotel under the chaperonage of Mrs.
Willie Allen of Richmond, Va. Les
lin Bruce. as her grandfather's friend, said
this morning that he was surprised that the
story had come out. II thought it was all
settled. Col. Skinner left for the south
three weeks ago, and Miss Greene promised
me she would let the matter drop" Mr..
Bruce thought the whole trouble had arisen
out of nothing. and that idle gossip was at
the bottom of the whole thing. He
thought it was a pity that Miss Greene's
visit to New York should be spoiled by such
a thing. but at the same time he was of the
opinion that Mrs. Wise had made whatever
repara ton was necessary. Col. F. G. Skim
ner, Miss Greenes grandfather is a south
erner Of wide reputation. He is now 70
years Of age. He has travelled all over the
world, and was secretary of legation at
Paris in Louis Philippe's time. Miss Greene
is the daughter of his only child.
Col. Skinner is said to have been the
former lieutenant colonel OF the First Vir-
GINA regiment and one Of the most gallant
men in the confederate army. He is son
of Postmaster General Skinner, who held
that position in 1924 The colonel is a native
of Maryland, but was reared in Rappahan-
mock county, Virginia. He spends much of
his time in New York

These trees are principally Of three kinds

Statistics show that the parks and gardens
in Paris number not less than 800, 234 shrubs
and q, OBS large trees The number of trees
which line the streets is considerably over
100000.
The quarter Of Paris which is most alum
dant in trees is that of Passy, just beyond
the Trocadero, and just across the Seine
from what was the site Of the great EXPOSE

There was brilliant display of "North'
ern Lights" or as they are less famiIiarly
known, the aurora boreallis, in the north

was plainly discernible till after II
o'clock. The phenomena made its ap-
pearance in the form of electric flashes

after the lights first were discovered.
Long tails, like those seen suspended
from comets, shot out from several points
over the blue sky, aud then the Light

they disappeared. The sight was remark
ably beautiful, and attracted general at

Virginia at the Worlds Fair.

Our late Legislature appropriated the
sum of $25, 900 for Virginia's display at
the coming Worlds Fair or Columbian
Exposition at Chicago. If 1t is all the
money available for this purpose our
grand old State will make but a meagre
showing, in fact none at all. In the opin
ion of many we'll informed persons 1t
would have been better to have dropped
th g matter altogether, that is fit is to
remain at that figure. OF course this is
the end as far as any official action is cor
cerned, and is the end entirely unless the
people take 1t up.
That this is a matter of the most vital
Importance TO every resident of the State
is too plain to every one TO need a word of
discussion. Capital is seeking invest
ment as 1t never did before. 1t is going
South in steady and powerful stream,
and no part of the Sonth can offer greater
inducements than Virginia. Her natural
resources are simply wonderful, but they
