1t required such q man as Theodore
Hook to cope successfully with the ra-
pacity Of the gentlemen of the hall, in
contradistinction to the road, and on
one occasion, at all events, he proved
himself equal to the task.
1t is related that once when dining
out he. before the entertainment came
off, provided himself with several bright
farthings from the mint and that when
proceeding after the festivities to his
carriage he discovered several servants,
including the cook awaiting him in
the hall, he forthwith slipped a coin
into the hand Of the latter. The man
glanced at it. noticed the size and
bowed low in thanks, under the impress
zion that he was sovereign richer,
while Theodore, dispensing largesse OF
a like nature TO the other servants,
went on his way rejoicing, nor did he
cease doing so when, as he stepped into
his carriage, one of the foOtmen, who
had discovered the real value of the
pourboire, ran out, saying, "Sir.
think you have made mistake =
"Not at all, my good man, " replied
the humorist, with gracious wave OF
the hand. II never give less. Coach
man, drive on.

veloped and penetrates deeply into the
soil, and the plant is a vigorous grower.
The seed is larger than that of red
clover, oval in shape, bright reddish
yellow when fresh, paler in the white
lowered variety, and has highly pol
ished surface The plants stool freely,
many stems arising from a single root.
Crimson clover will not stand severe
freezing, although it Is one of the so
called winter annualS' and under IA
vorable conditions makes much of its
growth during the cool, moist weather
of fall winter and early spring. Its
strong growing roots enable it to Sc
cure nourshment in many soils so poor
and thin that red clover would fail en-
tirely. While requiring warm eli
mate, 1t will not endure severe drought
1t thrives best on rich, rather sandy
loan, but when the conditions of mois-
ture and temperature are favorable II
gives good results on light, sandy soils
as well as on clays, if they are not too
stiff and cold.
Crimson clover has come into promi-
nence in this country within compare
lively recent years. 1t can hardly be
regarded as a successful crop outside
of the region from New Jersey west to
the Allegheny mountains and south to
eastern Tennessee and Texas. Good
crops are often obtained in other sec
tions, but cannot be depended upon
year after year. In the middle and
south Atlantic states this clover is one
- tllat 90 n hp for
forage and soil renovation. 1t has Civ
en- good results in many portions of the
gulf states, but many failures are also
reported In the colder sections of the
country this clover is sometimes sue
cesSfully grown as summer crop, but
it usually winter kills badly when
sown in the autumn. At the expert
ment stations in Rhode Island, New
York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, South
Dakota, Nebraska and other states in
the north and west the general results
of tests show that it is too tender for
the climate and is less valuable than
red clover From results recently OBJ
tanned at the Alabama experiment sta
ton it seems very likely that in many
cases, especially in the south, failures
with the crop are to be attributed to
the absence from the soil of the tuber-
Gle forming organisms which are neces-
sary for the proper appropriation OF
nitrogen by the plant. These organ
isms being supplied to the soil, excel
lent crops were obtained where with
out them the result was failure.
These facts are contribution by Ag-
rostologist S. w. Williams in circular
No. II to the investigation of grass
and forage plants which the depart
ment of agriculture is pursuing.

One Of the facts that we ineffaceably
cut into my memory during my first
winter in Newchwang was the finding
on one morning about New Years time
85 masses of ice, each mass having been
a living man at 10 o'clock the preced-
ing night.
The thermometer was good bit be
low zero CT. The men had just left the
opium dens. where they had been en-
joying themselves. The keen air sent
them to sleep. and they never wakened.

Then He Mns Mnd.

A Scotch university professor, irritat-
ed to find that his students had got
into the habit of placing their hats and
canes on his desk instead of in the
cloakroom, announced that the next ar
ticle of the kind placed there would be
destroyed. Some days later the profess
or was called for a moment from the
classroom. A student slipped into his
private room and emerged with the
professors hat, which he placed con-
spicuously on the desk, while hiss fell
lows grinned and trembled.
The professor, on returning, saw the
hat, thought some rashly obstinate stu
dent had been delivered into his hands,
and, taking out his knife, he cut the
offending article to pieces, while vainly
attempting to conceal the smile Of tri-
umph that played about his counte-
nance. He was in very bad temper
the next day.

his was it, If he saw man entering
his neighbor's house to steal. would 1t
not be his duty to inform the officers of
the law? Was a railroad company such
a different thingl Was it under diff
ferent rule of conduct, so that it could
rob the public and defy law and be IN
disturbed because it was such great
organization? What would Jesus do?
Then there was his family. Of course
if he took any steps to inform the com
mission it would mean the loss of his
position. His wife and daughters had
always enjoyed luxury and good place
in society. If he came out against this
lavlessness as a witness, 1t would drag
him into courts, his motives would be
misunderstood, and the whole thing
would end in his disgrace and the loss
of his position. Surely, it was none of
his business. He could easily get the
papers back to the freight department
and no one be the wiser. Let the iniquity
go on. Let the law be defied. What was
it to him? He would work out his plans
for lettering the conditions just about
him. What more could man do in
this railroad business, where there was
so much going on anyway that made 1t
impossible to live by the Christian
standard! Bat what would Jesus do if
he knew the factsI That was the ques-

EVERYBODY'S FRIEND
A Striking Scene At The Funeral
OF Rev. MVrOn w. Reed.

VI ReV. MyrOn w. Reed.
| DENVER, Feb. Newer before in
the history of the city has there been
such an outpouring of the general pub
lie as today on occasion of the funeral
of Rev. Myron W. Reed. All the
labor organizations and social socie-
ties passed eulogistic resolutions and
then gathered to do honor to the great
preacher.
AS an Indication of the catholic
sentiment prevailing JEWS hrabbi IAN
Episcopalian minister, q Presbyterian
clergyman, and Roman Catholic
priest took active part in the ceremony
and delivered addresses.
Broadway Temple was packed to the
doors with all kinds and conditions of
people. The governor of the state was q
pail bearer, and the mayor Of the city
an usher. High and low, rich and
poor, mingled together in Difference
to Myron Reed, who was everybody's
friend.
The splendid display of flowers and
the euloRistic speeches were less elo-
quent than the tear stained faces of the
vast conpreratfon.

ANOTHER
SENSATION

His DUTY

Indignant.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-"Never before
in the history of our wars has the arm y
been refused fresh beef delivered on
the hoof,'' eaid Gen. Miles in an iu-
terview On the beef scandal.
"Under Sherm an, Grant, and Sheri
dan. cattle were delivered at the front
and driven slopg with the army to be
slaughtered from day to day at
points where fresh beef was needed
for food.
''But the beef sent our soldiers in
the Spanish var was loaded and sa-
turated with chemicals, various acids
which made them sick, aud filed the
mems systems with poisons, uufitting
them for 6ghti aad campaign work."
WASHINGTON. Feb. The au-
thorlzed interview with Gen. Miles
sent in these dispatches this mornin
has raised a commotion in the war de-
partment, and some action will in
all likelihood be taken today.
Secretary Alger, it is said, will ask
the president to act at once. 1t is de-
clared by the war department officials
that if what Gen. Miles said is true b.
is guilty of neglect of duty in not re-
porting it officially to the secretary O
war.
Regulations provide that the general
the army shall make a.
report to the secretary of all matters |
affecting the service and officers are
expressly prohibited from airin1 su oh /

NATION THREATENED
By This New Movement, Says
He, Which Bodies Moth
ing But Evil In the
Future.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Rawlins o
Utah addressed the senate today OF
the expansion question. He com
menced by saying that he had not here
tofore been opposed to expansion.
While no one could set an artificial
barrier to the inevitable progress ol
the American people he contended
that our progress SO far had been that
of freedom, not of tyranny.
When this country was named it was
to be the United States of America.
We could stretch out to north and
south until we encompassed two con-
tinents and all the islands of the Carib-
bean sea; still we might appropriately
bear the name which our fathers gave
US.
Rawlins then inquired: "Shall it be
the United States of America and
Kingdom OF the Philippines, or shall it
be the Empire of America and Asia?
Already there are spectral visions of
this in the political sky."
After discussing the question from q
constitutional point of view he said:
s'There is no considerable good which
they can bring US. Their retention
BODIES nothing but evil. They are made
the pretext for emasculating our free
dom, for overriding our constitution,
and breaking down the safeguards of
our liberty"
After Rswlins finished his speech to-
day senate went into executive session
for further discussion of the treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The house
was called to order at noon by Speaker
Reed, and immediately went into COM
mittee of the whole, with Hopkins (Il- |
linois) in the chair, to consider the |
river and hsrbor bill reported by the
committee of that name.
Burton (Ohio) made an explanation
of the report. The appropriations ask
ed for amounted to over 5000, 600, 600,
obliged to cut it down to $4,000, 900.
This had made the committees task
one of great difficulty.
In authorizing improvements the COM
mittee this year had pursued a policy
in general to complete work already
begun, rather than to provide for new
work or advocate piecemeal jobs.
The bill was then debated, Perkins
opposing the measure.
During the debate Hepburn vicious
y attacked the bill. He said that in
he civil bill quarter of q million was =

nen had built q cotton compress. sThis
