IMMENSE EARNINGS
Secured by Paderewski From Ninety Sir
Concerts In This Country.

Secured by Paderewski From Ninety. Sir
Concerts In This Country.
Ignace Paderewski has three moro
concerts to give, and it is estimated
that the gross receipts from his tour
this year will amount to about $3.50, 900,
says the New York Sun. This is
$4,000 more than he earned on his
last trip, and the experience proves the
fallacy Of the prediction that it would
never be possible for him to repeat
here the wonderful experiences of that
tour. When he sails away on tho
Oceanic he will have given ninety-slx
concerts in all and have travelled
$4,000 miles. Only one projected con-
cert was not given. Sacramento was
the solitary city which refused to take
any interest in Paderewslki, and the
concert was abandoned there on ac-
count Of the small advance SALE Else
where the pianist had good fortune to
compensate for this In Austin Texas,
he gave a concert that earned him
$4,000, and a few days afterward the
BIedl6I part OI Tue lOWu Was ueSJIOy 6h
by the bursting Of the dam. II M.
PadeTewski's itinerary had been q
little differently arranged the accident
might have happened before he ar
rived and the 1920 might never have
been his. The pianist travelled again
in a special car, wasting little time
between the different cities and omit
ting to give daily concert only when
it was not possible to make connec-
tions. If there had been towns enough
he would have given a daily recital.
AS 1t was he remained most of the
time in hfs car, with piano on board
on which he played daily and frequent
ly late into the night. He sleeps bet
ter now than he used to, but still
smokes cigarettes uninterruptedly, and
the most important duty of his imme-
diate suite on the train, which COM
prlsed only the persons necessary for
the trip, was to play cards with him
until the pianist felt as If sleep were
possible.

celestInl was a Connoissenr.

The reporter and the artist, who had
been told to explore a basement down
in Chinatown, were getting along
swimmingly. They had "butted in,"
assisted by a thick and jovial officer;
the heather had received them not
unkindly, and the artist Was as happy
as a fish in a fountain of water. He
was busily engaged in drawing sleep
ing Chinaman on n bunk In the back
Of the house, when a fat, grlnning pa
gan, in spectacles, approached them
Bending over the artists shoulder, he
studied the drawing with great inter
est.
"He hee! Ho how exclaimed the
yellow man, with great, good humor.
"He makee picture"
The artist, growing proud over tho
apparent compliment, kept on sketch
ing, and the Mongol watched the work
delightedly.
"He, hee! Ho no" almost shouted
the celestial. HE makee picture

One Cause of Short Crop.

The Iowa crop report contains a sug
gestion that may be partly responsible
for the short crop of wheat. It indi
Gates a considerable gain in acreage Of
corn and a falling off ID the acreage
Of wheat and other crops, with I'M
proved conditions Of live stock. This
Is an indication that the tendency is
more and more each year to devote
the farm to corn for stock feeding
purposes and to give up the raising
OF small grain for market. With the
usual prices of grain and stock this is
good policy, and It is advised by most
Of the agricultural papers, which urge
II as the best plan for small farmers
The shipping Of feed when the stock
might be fattened on the farm is
wastefuL

A case that is interesting to tenants
has been decided in a New York court.
A man rented apartments for his fam
ly at a leading hotel under an oral
agreement to keep them for a year at
s45OO. Soon after there was an cpl
lemlc Of '2arlet fever among the fam
lilies occupying different parts Of the
building, and, becoming alarmed, this
tenant and his family left saying that
the conditions endangered their lives.
The hotel company brought suit to re-
rover the rental for the unexpired
term, and got a verdict for $4,000 The
Court held that as the landlord wac
not negligent, but took every precau'
Hon suggested by the Board Of Health,
there was no eviction, either actual or
constructive, and, therefore, the rent
must be paid.

A prominent manufacturer recently
said, during a discussion Of the iron
and steel trade Of the world: THE
world is practically rebuilt about three
times in century. Thirty-fve years
ago my fra furnished the iron work
for the first iron fire-proof office build
Ing erected in New York City. To-day
that building is being demolished, and
another win be erected in keeping with
the advance in Office buildings during
the last ten years. It is, Of course, not
to be expected that the 'slzyscrapers'
Of to-day will be supplanted by others
within the third Of a century, but the
general advance in the world and the
progress Of civilization are Of such a
magnitude that, broadly speaking, it is
true, as / stated, that we rebuild the
world about every thirty or thirty Eve

The cigarette has been in a good

1t continues to contaminate the atmos-

A Half-NIilliOn From Truck Farming.

A Half-Million From Truck Farming.
There are over COO acres of Philadel-
phla land under cultivation south Of
Porter street, in the district known as
the Neck, and there is now living in
Germantown a man who has amassed
a fortune Of 100000 in raising early
vegetables in that locality. His two
sons are still engaged in truck farming,
although they have not tne same
chances as their father had during the
Civil War, when spinach sold for $S a
a barrel and onions brought SO bar
rel. The father, with his half million,
has removed to a Landscape country
seat near Germantown, where he lives
in opulence. He was an orphan, and
at the age of twenty-one, having been
bound to a trucker, he went with an
other man to work farm on shares.
In two years he was able to take
farm Of his own, and success crowned
his efforts. In those days the farmer
took his own produce to market and
sold it direct to the consumer without
the aid of the commission merchant
Then, too there was no competition
from the South in the matter Of early
vegetables. The labor Of boys could
be had for 50 or $3 a week, but all this
is now changed. On Porter street, be-
tween Thirteenth and Sixteenth, there
are two large public school houses, and
the boys who used to work on the
farms now attend school. The farm
ers are consequently obliged to employ
men at this season Of the year and pay
them 50 a week.-Philadelphia Record.
