EMPHASIZED HIS LAST WILL.
How an old Steamboat Captain Tried te

FEeRent contest
 From the New Orleans Times Dem oerat: 4I an free to admit this story sounds a tride fshy, said New Or leans lawyer, chatting over an after dinner cigar but l happen to know it is absolutely true. Last summer a local business man, who it isn't neces- sary to name, made a new will of rather an elaborate and peculiar char acter. I am bound to say to you, re- marked his attorney, when the docu- ment was completed that I think j, more than likely your children will make a contest if this will is ever probated.' I'm going to have talk @ifn them en that very subject re- torted his client. Yes replied the at- tosHey. but when your voice is stilled foreYer. the. may think differently abeat t. That remark set the old maf to pondefing, and he finally hit on very picturesque eXpedient. He had a photograph at his office, and, put ting on q fresh cylinder. he reared his last injunctions into the receiver =in his most impressive style. Then he carefully removed the record, sHathed it in cotton wool, and fled it away with the will. Next day he sent for the lawyer and gave him specific diree- tions what to do after the demise. I want you to call the family together he said. and read the will carefully rom beginning to end. As soon as you get through and before they have time to talk about it, start the Bhono- graph going and let .em hear my last message. Be sure to have a good, big horn on the machine and see that everything is in frst-class working orGef.

The card was first addressed to the naval pay office at San Francisco, but as it was learned that Lieu.

Those of ny countrfmea Who indulge in the weed mostly smoke cigarettes or preferably the smallest pipes filled with the mild- est tobacco obtainable. Of course. there are Japanese who. like some Americans, have such a craving for to- bacco that nothing less than the strongest cigar CT the largest pipe will satisfy them. BHt such smokers are exceptionally few among the Japanese. As rule, my countrymen, while al home and abroad, are satisfied with short smokes, such as a cigarette or 3 tny pipe affords. The Japanese are moderate smokers, not so much be- cause they are small people, but for the reason that mp to within recent years but very Ii#t3e to5aee8# came into Japan and the tariff on 1t was very high. Being poor but frtgai race. the masses purchased only 1ipited quantities of me weed. which. as mat- ter Of economy, they have for genera tioHs been taag bt to smoke in only the tiniest of pipes. These pipes, the most popular of which hold about as much tobacco as would fIl an ordinary thim- bic. are the survival Of the days when money Was scarce, tobacco dear and the tariff high h another generation pr two, when Japan shall have taken her place among the wealthy nations of The world my countrymen will no deab; smoke large quantities of tobae- co and then the small pipes will be abandoned for big ones, such as Eng asRmeR and Ameficaas now smoke.

The mint mark collection is the lat

1t is the fad of the specialist and has
little attraction for the amateur. The
object is to secure complete sets of per

from the different minis.

aware that there is any way to dis
tinguish the coins issued from the diff
ferent mints. They may not have no

has no mint mark it comes from the

A Notion About Cold storage.

A Kansas nan at a recent V
ton told of a novel notion about cold
storage. He has built for his potatoes
a double rooted and double walled
building. He has dead air space in
the roof and walls and has double
doors. He has plenty of tarred paper
in the roof and has a well 60 feet deep
in the center of the building, from
which he pumps cool air into that
building. He can get his cool air then
at any time in the warm nights in the
fall when you could not get the tenn
perature of the outside air to suit.

While camped in the Wallapai
mountains recently there came to my
camp from off the Santa Fe Pacific an
English overland tourist. and, after
passing the usual salutations and
greetings, the stranger proposed to join
the desert express train of blHros and
try his luck prospecting. The first
camp was made at Maggie Springs,
where stood an old miners cabin. In
the morning he proposed to help cook
breakfast and built a rousing fire in
the old fireplace of the cabin and start
ed to fry the bacon. All at once a
startled expression came from the en-

one Thing and Another.

The thorough cultivation required in
raising a crop of beets admirably fits
the soil for the following crop. In
France no preparation of the soil for a
crop of wheat is considered equal to
the raising of a crop of beets. Sugar
beets, when adapted to soil and eli
mate, are an enriching crop to land,
fitting admirably into a scheme of ro-
tation, and a cash crop, producing a
material in large demand, but now i'm
ported from abroad.
Millet silage is liked by COWS at the
Michigan station. 1t is unusually dry
for silage. When pitched out of the
silo, 1T was light and fluffy, resembling
hay rather tina silage. 1t had a pleas
ant odor and kept with very little spoil
ing. Millet is recommended to dairy
men because it can be sown late in the
season after a crop of peas and oats
has been removed or can be substitute
ed for corn when delayed spring work
makes it impracticable to plant the lat
ter.
1t is said that animals tire of Kafir
corn alone more quickly than they do
tof corn alone, but combined with other
feeds they relish for any length of
feeding.
If negotiations are carried through,
it is expected that 21,00o Russians

A Cats Long hmm.

How far can a cat jump without
hurting itself was partly exemplified
in Brooklyn the other night. A pretty
white cat a up a tree to get away
from a dog and at last crawled out on
q small branch at least 60 feet above
the ground. The branch was not much
more than a twig, and the cat could
not turn around. She sat up there
on the swaying limb and meowed. At
last the twig broke, and down came
the cat. She alighted on the ground
on her feet, looked around for a mo
ment and then bounded away; which
shows that a GO foot drop does not hurt
a Brooklyn cat, whatever it might do
to cats of other places. -.Pittsburg Dis

The wretched Newspaper Man.

In every city of the land the news
paper man is an outcast. He knows
more people to be a stranger to than
any other being in the world. He has
no holidays. His Christmas is the rec
ord of other mems joys. His Thanks
giving is a restaurant. Even the Fourth
of July and Sunday, servants Of the
commonest man, refuse him their
cheer. The Fourth of July is Che day
he must be in every place at once, be-
cause everything is happening, and
Sunday is the day he must make things
up, because nothing is happening.
His labors are our pleasures. He
gets his vacation by doing another
mans work and earns his living by
watching other people live. The very
days and the nights turn their natural
backs upon him. The lamp is his sun
by night, and the curtain is his night
by day, and he eats his supper in the
morning. Ills business is the reflec-
ton of life. He is the spirit behind
the mirror. What is left to us is right
to him, and right is left. Sometimes
right side up is upside down.
The world is all awry to the newspa-
per man. 1t whirls across the. hours
in columns, now in one edition and
now in another, but it needs him never
in return. He is a spectator. The
show passes before his face-a shut
out, unsharing face. He lives as the
years go on. a notebook under the
stars, and when the notebook is scrib-
bled out he dies.-Gerald Stanley Lee
