PUMPKINS ON THE ROOF.
Queer Patch of Pie Fruit In san Fran
cisco Park.


In the Seven street park, in Oakland.
there is one of the strangest pumpkin
crops to be found in the state, certain
" the queerest that grows in any pub
lie square, If. indeed. that vegetable
can be found in any other public square.
There Is really nothing strange about
the crop itself that is referred to, but
its location Is most unusual. for it is on
the roof of the Toulouse. This tool
house is exactly in the center of the
square, and the crop of bright-colored
pie material looms up from all direc-
tons. But it doesn't look at all in
viting, although a number of people in
the neighborhood signified their inten-
ton of having one of the pumpkins fo-
Christmns-that is. provided, of course,
they are not seized by some one else in
the meantime.
There is quite story in the way these
pumpkins came to grow on the roof.
1t was q very simple matter for them
10 do so when one considers the cause.
The same cause has also given the old
gardener quite an opinion of his own
powers OF invention.
II seems that the pumpkins grew as
u volunteer crop, due to the fact that
some of the ground around the tool
house was brought there from vacant
lot near by. The gardener cared for
the vine tenderly, but soon found il an
elephant on his hands. 1t spread all
over the flower-bed and coon had part
of the square TO itself, because nothing
else could live in the neighborhsod.
Then IL commenced to spread over the
walks and also TO show signs of bear
ing. This was n hard time for the gar
dener. He thought of the fine pies the
pumpkins would make, and he also
thought that it would be necessary for
people to walk through the park. He
lost sleep at night and still the vine
grew. Little pumpkins formed and he
began TO lose flesh The vine spread
more and more and the small green
globules looked more tempting each
Gay.
When almost on the verge of despair
the gardener got an idea He soon had
the crop of young pumpkins safe on the
roof, where they could grow as much
as they liked, while the roots remained
in tse soil below.
And they have taken advantage OF
the opportunity, for the most of them
are large enough TO take prizes Mt
county fair. When he looks at his
harvest there is only one thing that
troubles the old gardener. 1t is really
making him lose sleep again, for he does
not know how he is going TO get the
pumpkins down.-San Francisco Call.

examination her English paper was ex-

any offered by the American girls. She

Rev. Father Koran, of Rumford
Falls, Me-, secured the necessary funds
to complete his new church by announc-
ing that it would be opened on a certain

long that its close was accompanied by
the chattering of teeth all over the
house. AS if suddenly reminded that it
was chilly, he remarked thnt it was

that the congregation would cheerfully
contribute money enough to plaster the

Science aud Great Cities.

Prof. Brewer. of Yale university, in
u recent address called attention 10 the
interesting fact that at the beginning OF
this century not single city in Chris
tendon had so many as 100000 in
habitants. In 1900 Paris had $4,000,
and in 1901 London had s64, 900. Great
cities could not exist then as the adj
vance of science has enabled them TO
exist to-day. Science has helped the
cities not only by conquering pestiSnce'
and teaching the laws of heakh, but by
enabling them to draw their supplies
from the remotest quarters of the earth
instead of being dependent for food, as
was the case at the opening of the
century, upon the region of country inn
mediately surrounding them.-Youths

THE M.KINLEY TARIFF.
Protection Operates TO Increase Oar
Exports

Exports
Says city contemporary concerning
which il may be written with propriety
that whatever new thing it says about
tariffs is not true. and that whatever
true thing il says is not new:
"The Mckinley law did not remain In
operation long enough to produce its logical
consequences In that direction, but never
theless II was apparent from the working
of the law that IL would cease eventually
TO produce sufficient revenue. The rates
OF duty were so high as to restrict importa-
ton and thus limit the revenue from that
source"
This is of the now but not true order.
The facts are the Mckinley bill oper-
sted 10 increase our imports, though it
increased our exports in u still larger de-
gree. BY protecting home industries II
stimulated them, by stimulating them IL
produced competition between them for
possession of the home market anu
competition reduced prices. So that
more people of the United States wore
honestly woven and honestly sewed
clothing, all wool, and all the wool OF
American growth, than now, ard II
created magnificent tin plate in
dustry. and but for its repeal at the in
stance of democratic ignorance and
nugwumpian conceit it would have put
our WOODEN and textile manufactures
on as firm basis as our iron manu-
features. But, by the very fact of the
Mckinley tariffs operation in making
money plentiful by increased exports,
and by stimulated home manufactures,
there was an increase of imports, for
when men have much money they spend
much, and some of it will be spent upon
foreign productions. The more we
spend at home the more we are likely
TO spend abroad; for money spent at
home returns 10 the spender, and often
with increase.
Gut. TO leave theory for fact, the
treasury records show that our imports
during the three years preceding the
passage OF the Mckinley bill stood
thus:

: RUN: INTO BY "A CAR.
John Hogan; a Teamster, Seriously In
:: jured on Oak. Street, Near

-:
John Hogan. a teamster, living at 1927
g Mission street, met with what may prove
a fatal accident yesterday afternoon on
Oak street, near Baker.
Hogan is employed by Buckman Bros,
g the contractors; and Yesterday he drove
into the City for load of hay to take to
the camp near the German HOSPITAL.
-. Between 4 and O'Clock ne was driving
along Oak street on his wav to the camp
with the load OF hay: He drove along the
car track, AS teamsters generally do, ex-
pecting that II any car came along he
would receive due. warning to get off the
'track.b by the ringing ofthe bell.
He had got halfway along the block be-
tween BEoderlck and Baker when car 565
of the Ellis-street electric line, which was
ON its way TO the park, came up behind
him and struck the rearend of the wagon
with considerable force.
The rear end OF the wagon was broken
and the shock threw Hogan off his seat.
He fell, striking on his head, and when
picked up he was in an unconscious con-
dition. He was carried into cyclery on
Oak street near by and DR.. Carr was sum
moned. After making an examination of
the injured man the doctor ordered his re-
movai to the Receiving Hospital, and the
patrol wagon was telephoned for.
At the hospital Ors Well and Rhine
found that Hogan's skull was fractured
and that he appeared to be seriously in
iured internally. His chances Of recovery
are doubtful.
Mrs. Turner, s04 Haight street, who was
passenger on the car and was sitting on
{. the front dummy. teIephoned to the Cen
tral'poice station that she would willingly
appear as a witness if the motorman was
arrested. She said the motorman did not
ring the bellto warn Hogan TO get off the
track, but ran into the wagon, and that he
was wholly. to blame.

BURGLARS ARE
KEEPING IT Up!
Four of the Cases That
the Police Are Now
Investigating.
A Lady Chases but Fails to
Oyertake a Thief Who Had
Entered Her House.
The Crimes Are Believed to Be the
Work of Men Recently Released
From San Quentin.

Although the police have within the
past few days arrested three notorious
burglars, there are others who are keeping
the police on the alert.
The police are doing all they can to keep
the burgaries secret. but the people who
have suffered loss from the visits of the
burglars are not so reticent.
On Thursday evening the residence of
R. G. Green, SIT Turk street, was visited
during the absence of the family. About
9 O'Clock Mrs. Green and her niece re-
turned to the house and were surprised to
find the gas burning. Thinking that her
husband and sister had probably returned
before her she went to her sister 8 room,
when she was startled by seeing young
man Jumping out of the window, which
overlooks an alley.
She ran to the front door to give the
alarm, and when she reached there the
burglar was running along the sidewalk
in the direction of Polk street. Mrs.
Green gave chase, and as she neared Polk
street she called TO man to stop the burg
lar, but he paid no attention to her. The
burglar continued his fight down Polk
street and disappeared in an alley.
1t was found that the burglar had stolen
Mrs. Green's gold watch, pair OF gold
earrings and q revolver. Mrs. Green de-
scribes him as being about 1S years OF age
and roughly dressed.
Last Wednesday night the room OF Miss
Abboy, 621 Bush street. was entered, it IS
supposed, by the use OF skeleton keys.
Miss Abboy was out shopping, and when
she returned the room was in disorder.
Bureau drawers had been taken out and
their contents scattered on the floor. Two
| eoS Of oIr1o a =
a pair of opera-glasses. macintosh and
several dresses were stolen. No one in
the house had heard any unusual sounds,
nor had any strangers been seen In the
halls.
burglar broke into the Mentone, cor
ner of Powell and Sacramento streets,
early yesterday morning by prying open
a rear window with Jimmy" A room
that had been occupied by lady, who is
on visit to the country, was entered and
thoroughly ransacked, but nothing in the
shape OF jewelry or money was found. A
tin box that contained private letters had
been broken open, and the letters were
scattered on the floor. The adjoining
room was then entered and dress stolen.
The burglar tried to enter otheg rooms,
but they were all locked. A valuable
oyercoat and umbrella were stolen from
the hatrack.
The fourth burglary on this list took
place in the room OF Miss Lille Russell,
22SA Leavenworth street. The room was
entered early Tuesday morning, and a seal
skin coat, hand bag, platinum and gold
watch chain and other articles of the velue
of S400 were stolen. 1t is supposed that
the burglar had utilized skeleton key to
get access to the room.
These are only few OF the recent burg
laries reported to the police, and it is sur
missed that several burglars. who have been
discharged from San Quentin after serving
out their sentences. are doing the work.

That sounds simple" said one of his
hearers. "but I haven't noticed that there
were any worlds being made just now upon
which progress was any faster than right
here. and can't say that I have observed
much change in this old globe since began
to watch it"
Il have made many globes" declared the
Jerseyman, mot merely insensate things to
represent what we know of the natural and
political divisions of the earth, but minia-

every particle in them aglow with heat,
and all In motion. And then have watch

to feel that within the few moments which
