RUINED BY A STORM, =
The Farmer Thought, But 1t Made Hin.
Money.


Washington Correspondence to Chi
cago Record: Secretary Wilson tells
a story which illustrates the uses OF
adversely. A farmer out West planted
q lot of ground to sugar beets. They
grew beautifully and sent out a glori-
Gus fOlia = of dark-red leaves. with
deep red veins in them, which he ad-
mired very much. A tornado came and
cut them off close to the ground. The
poor farmer was discouraged. 1t was
too late to pillow up the field and plant
another crop. His whole spring labor
was wasted and all mis- money was
gone. He decided that he would give
up farming. advertise his place for sale
Before they had finished packing, how
ever. he noticed. new healthy shoots
coming from all the beets. and told his
wife he guessed they would better hold
up awhile and see what happened. In
a few weeks the foliage was as fresh
and strong as before, so he hoed out
the weeds with confidence OF getting
a good crop. When he dug up those
beets and took them to the sugar fac
tory that fall they were found to con-
tain more saccharine than any others
that were offered. and upon an investi-
cation at the experiment station it was
decided that their superiority was due
TO the storm. From that time on beet
farmers have initiated the example OF
nature and cut the tops off their beets
at least once during the season.

NO CRIME
To Tell of What Occurs in Grand
Jury Room.

New York Journal: The written de-
cision of Justice Fursman, based on
his recent order directing the case OF
Roland B. MolineuX to be resubmitted
TO the grand jury, was filed yesterday
IN this decision Justice Fursman form
ally expresses his opinion Of the du-
ties and proper conduct of grand iu-
rors. and he also touches on such pro-
ceedings before the grand jury which
in his opinion should be kept secret
Regarding the presumption that all the
proceedings of a grand jury are Sc
cret. Justice FUrsman says in his de
cision: 1T is quite mistake TO sup
pose that everything that occurs in a
grand jury room is secret. Some
things must be kept secret, to-wit: The
finding Of an indictment where the
party indicted is not in custody. Also
how any grand juror votes upon the
finding of an indictment-that is not
TO DE disclosed. But whatever occurs
during the examination CT witness
whether the district attorney and the
foreman of the grand jury CT any grand
juror and a witness. cannot in the
nature Of things be kept secret Any
witness may disclose to the outside
world everything thai took place, and
there is no inhibition in any law what
ever to prevent it, nor is it an offense
for him to disclose it,

pressed Traveller.
We made side trip 10 the big trees
of the Mariposa group, which are about
one hours ride from the hotel, says
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis
patch. If the smallest OF these trees
could be planted anywhere in Pennsyl-
vania the railroads would run excur-
sion trains to it and make money. The
trees in this grove are SO large that it
takes good while to fully appreciate
the facts about the size of'the biggest
of them. The Grizzly Giant" is 81 feet
through at the base and over 100 feet
high. This tree would overtop the
spires on the Pittsburg Cathedral By
over 100 feet. The trunk of this tree
is 100 feet clear to the first limb. which
is 20 feet in circumference Many other
trees here are very nearly as large as
this one, and there are 400 in the grove.

NOVEL TEMPERANCE SCHEME.
How Manufacturer Secured DRY"
Town in Indiana.

How a Manufactures Secured Dry
Town in Indiana.
A manufacturer at Three Oaks, Ind,
has just inaugurated a temperance re-
form in that town that is at once novel
and apparently practicable. SAYS the
Cleveland Leader. This man. who has
several hundred employees, recently Of
fered to pay into the village treasury
annually an amount equal to the Ii
cense fees derived from the saloons if
the authorities would abolish the sa
looms and make the town dry II
the offer was refused he threatened to
remove his factory to another town.
The proposition was submitted TO the
council and it in turn referred the mat
ter to the people at special election.
The result was an overwhelming vic
tory for temperance. The saloons will
be closed, the village treasury will re-
ceive the annual payment promised.
and the factory will not be removed.
OF course it is not difficult to under
stand why this manufacturer desired
the closing of the saloons He prob
ably realized that he could get better
work from his employees If they were
always sober, and will doubtless dis
cover that the money paid for the
closing of the saloons is we'll invested.

PROMINENT WOMEN'S WORK.
Mrs. Grover CleveIand's and Mrs. George
Goulds Good Example.

Goulds Good Example.
Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt, Jr., has
startled Newport by going to market
each morning and making a personal
inspection of fruits, meats and fsh for
her table, says the Criterion. She has
also introduced the innovation of pay
ing cash for her purchases, something
unheard of among the Newport COZ
tagers. whose habit of having things
charged and bills sent monthly is a
boon TO the dealers at the Rhode
Island colony, as elsewhere. Every
housekeeper knows that while the lat
ter plan saves time and trouble. it puts
many dollars into the pockets of the
market men.
Mrs. Willie X, Jr., has shown her
good sense and good training in this.
as in many other respects since her
marriage. The idea that a careful
espionage OF servants and household
affairs is beneath the dignity of
woman of position and fashion is an
entirely erroneous one, bred among
the most u0CeSlId Olt SOCJdt circles.
Many women of fashion make boast
that they have rid themselves of their
household cares, servants, etc, by en-
ploying a housekeeper for the purpose.
as they employ nurses and governesses
for the care of their children but wom-
en who preside over the happiest
! homes are those who give their
attention to the small details of the
household menage and the nursery.
Two notable examples are Mrs Grover
| Cleveland and Mrs. George Gould, both
of whom have presided over their
| homes and their children. not as figure
heads, but actually guiding and over
looking the care OF their babies and the
workings of the domestic programme
! from day to day. These women's lives
seem TO be filled with the gentler du-
ties and joys of existence, to the eX-
clusion of every possibility for remark
and gossip. And there are numerous
circles less important socially, who take
pleasure in the idea that the role OF
chatelaine is still a crown of graceful
dignity more desirable than gems OF
great price.

The influence of the press. particu-
la-ly il this country, is immense, and
it is growing year by year, and With
reasonable cooperation and recipr0c-
ity between the press. the transpOrta-
ton companies and the commercial
and industrial interests of the country,
there can be no doubt about our su-
premacy.
At times there have been periods OF
legislation adverse to the great trans
portatiCn interests of the country al
most invariably the result of a misun-
derstanding of the real situation. and
the hasty legislation Of such times has
usually been repealed upon the sober
second thought OF the people. for in the
language of our great Lincoln: You
can fool all the people some of the
time, some OF the people all the time.
but you can't fool all the people all
the time There are still some people
who fear that consultations, especial
" of transportation companies, Will
result disastrously to the general in
terests of the country. There is one
example TO which | wish 10 call your
