industry in the way OF the solution OF
the agricultural problem, and the busi-
ness may lie said to have gained all
ready strong foothold.
When it is considered that more than
half thousand OF such factories, each
costing several hundred thousand dol
lars, would be required TO supply the
sugar that we consume annually, 1t is
not difficult to see that millions of dol
lars now sent abroad year after year
would be retained here, 10 say nothing
of the labor afforded to thousands of
workmen, the advantage to a communi
ty of possessing factory that uses raw
material whose production is benefit
to the immediate neighborhood, and
last, Tut not least, the Improvement in
general agriculture that must necessa-
rily result from the pursuit OF the very
careful methods required in the culture
of sugar beet.
But though still in its infancy in
America, the manufacture of beet
sugar is not q new departure for US: it
Is only its success that is recent. The
long list of failures dates back as far
as 1880, which is about the time that II
was placed on permanent footing in
France, and for nearly half century
its pathway was strewn with wrecks.
Eight years later an attempt was made
at Northfeld, Mass, the experiment
of drying the beet being tried, but the
endeavor was unrewarded with success.
Two decades and half then passed
before any move toward reviving the in
dustry was made, when a plant was
located at Chatsworth, Ill. 1t managed
to struggle along several years, but
finally went to the wall. 1t was moved
to Freeport, and later to Black Hawk,
Wis.,, with only failures as the result.
At last it found itself in Fond du Lac,
in the same State. Here its establish
ment was attended with a measure of
success, but the enterprise being ham
pered by insufficient capital, and the
opportunity occurring to increase the
latter, 1t was once more removed, this
time to Alvarado, Cal. Again disaster,
after time abandoned. Then the fac
tory at Alvarado was revived and sue
cess. which continues TO this date, was
reached. Later on, the plant at Wat
sonvlle was erected.
There Is vast belt stretching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and OF no
mean width, which invites the culture
of the sugar-beet and promises succe So
almost from the start, il experiments
thus far made can be relied uron. Soil
and climate are there; careful culture
will come when farmers realize that the
brain must be used in tillage. AS for
sunbeams, the great illuminator is not

BLEW ITSELF UP.
A Cinnamon Bears Inquisitiveness and
Its Result,

Its Result.
What may bring man misfortune in
one place may prove his salvation In
another. This is illustrated in the case
OF a construction hand on the line of the
Great Northern Railroad, Montana.
Jim Robinson, who was known as
Dynamite Jim, was discharged by the
contractor of the railroad for the reason
that his habit Of always carrying dyna-
mite with him caused disastrous ex-
plosion. Jim, thus thrown out of job,
started for Cho.eau, eighty miles dis
tant. He was supplied with his blanket,
small basket OF provisions and the
inevitable dynamite. The first evening
he encamped meath the shade Of a cot
tonwood tree, lighted a fire and was
leisurely taking lunche on, when he
heard roar that caused him to spring
toward him at rapid gait and with
mouth wide open huge cinnamon
bear. He gave bound for the cotton
wood tree, which he rapidly climbed.
Before the bear reached the tree Rob-
inson had climbed into a fork, and,
throwing his arms around limb, clung
to 1t with grim determination while the
bear put his huge forepaws against the
trunk and shook the tree like an aspen.
Failing to shake Robinson out of tho
tree the bear uttered several deep
growls, and then went shifting toward
the fire and began to eat Robinson's $
little store OF provisions. Robinson
took advantage OF the bears absence,
and, getting rope out Of his po ,ket,
tied himself firmly to the tree. After
devouring Robinsons supper the bear
began to tear the blanket, in which he
found hard, shiny substance, which
he tried to eat, but finding it too hard
he dropped it between this two fore
paws and then brought it down with a
smash on rock beside the fire. A ter
rifle explosion rent the air, while bear,
tons of earth and pieces of lock went
skyward like flash. The bear had
exploded stick Of dynamite. party
OF hunters was attracted by the explo-
sion, and found Jim in the tree un-
harmed, but unconscious. He soon
recovered. Only few pieces of flesh

The M0uld CIty's Name.

The city havin been ma ned ia honor
of st. Louis many suppose that the pro.
nnnciation should be "St. Looie," be.
cause that is the correct pronunciation
OF the name of the saint. Louis is not
an English name, and Hume, in angli-
cizing it in his history, always write, it
'Lewis." All the French kings of the
name "Louis" are "Lewis" in Hume's
writings. Those who say "St. Looie''
in speaking of the city may think it is
more honor to the sainted King OF
France, for whom 1t was named, to use
the French pronunciation. On the other
hand, our language is English, and it is
perfectly natural that there should bs
those who hold that the name of our
cities should be as nearly English as
possible. The "St. Looie" pronuncia-
tion will never cause any one to forget
why the city was named st. Louis, and

1t has often been proved that habit is
much stronger than reason in the matter
Of food. Otherwise, it would be impos-
sible to account for the frequency with
which coarse, unwholesome dishes ap-
pear on the table under the guise OF
plain, substantial food. Nothing could
be greater msnomer than substan-

boiled beef, vegetables, and pie. Yet

Now, in the very nature of things, the
boiled beef must have parted from a
large portion OF its nutritious substance
in the water in which it was boiled.
And 1t is nine chances to ten that it has
been boiled so rapidly that it has be-
come tough and leathery, aud almost
valueless for food. If the potatoes and
other vegetables have been cooked with

likely to be greasy and overdone. The

Did You Ever Hear of o Maverick

Some years ago a man named Maver-
lex located near Austin, Texas, and
went into the stock business. He hal
considerable money ani established a
large ranch, mostly OF cattle. He was
what might be termed a progressive
man, but his ideas of progress were
not suitable to his surroundings. For
instance, he concluded that branding
cattle was useless-in fact, barbarous-
and he determined that the red-hot
iron should never again be pressed
against the side of an animal belong
ing to him. This was regular picnic
for the cowboys, who picked up Nav
erick's cattle wherever they could find
them, and it was not long before every
hoof Of them was gone and he was re-
duced to almost poverty. Ever since
that every unbranded head OF cattle
over six months OF age has been called
q maverick, and is regarded by the cow
boy as the property of him who first
