uetty Green in Vermont.

Mrs. Hetty Green, with her hus. band, Edward Green, and daughter, Sylvia, have arrived at the old fam fly homestead at Bellows Falls, Vt, for the warm months. Mrs. Green claims Bellows Falls as her residence, and pays taxes on personal property to the amount of $125,000.
 Hardly had the wealthy woman settled down to quiet country life before the house was besieged by newspaper men clamoring for inter views. She refused to see any of them, and grew exceedingly angry when several tried to get snap shots of her.
 One afternoon a photographer lay in wait behind the house, hoping to catch her unawares when walking in the garden. Mrs. Green spied him. however, and before he could focus his camera, he says, she climbed over a high board fence, displaying an agility which surprised him.

whx she was Maa

One morning, in Kindergarten, wee mite of womanhood had been trying to attract the teacher by every resource of which she was capable, without directly saying she had something to tell. Finally, the young girl went over ana sat beside her, whereupon little Rachel founced her skirts. puckered up her forehead, and, clinching her hand, exclaimed: "Oh, dear, but Pm mad" The teach CT was surprised, for Rachel had seemed to be laboring under a de- lightful secret. And why is little Miss Sunshine angry?" asked the in structor. 'Well, everybody was mad at our house this morning. Mamma scolded Sister Jane, and auntie scold- ed mamma, and papa said: 70 darn,' and left the table, so I guess can be cross, too.''-Motherhood.

Chinese Duck Raisers.

In Hawaii enormous quantities of ducks are raised by the Chinese upon the edges of the ocean. Twice a day, within restricted areas, they are per- mitted to eat the young fish which swim in the inclosed coves. Fish are reported to be growing scarcer every year, and by some this diminution is attributed to the wholesale destruc- tion of the young fry by the Chinese.-- Albany Argus.

 "A fellow was talking to me about gold the other day." Ford replied, ab- sently.
 ''Who was it?' Cranmere asked, quickly.
 "A fellow with history" Ford re- turned, slowly. "A hundred and some odd years ago, before Vargo made to- bacco a government monopoly, this mans grandfather was one of the rich men of Luzon. It seems he lived in one of the districts that had to go on growing tobacco whether it paid or not. It didn't pay. The family got poorer and poorer until when Manual inherited the fragment of the fortune he moved north to Botanes in despair-went to raising horses That didn't pay, either; then he tried pearl fishing. Now he has come back to Luzon with an ailuring gold story'
 That's what want to hear about. believe there is gold in Luzon.'

 ~Tes. Where does the gold come i'm"
 ~This is Mantars idea: Bombon has en outlet, but no inlet; therefore it must have subterranean sources, and he holds that it is fed by an under ground river that flows from the heart of the island. He believes that he could enter this river by diving, and by it's means go straight to the mountains, where he will find gold. The whole foundation for his theory is q blind fish found in Bombon"

COST OF AMERICAN ARMY.
I'm Proportion to It's Size United states Military Establishmen Is Most

Tn proportion to it's size the Unit ed States military establishment is the most expensive in the world. Ac- cording to the official notes of mili- tary interest prepared by Lieut.. Col. Simpson it is shown that the cost of maintaining one soldier in the Amer ican army for one year is $1,014. The nearest approach to this is Germany with $201, while Russia pays less than any other government with $155 for each man.
 comparative statement is made which shows the effectiveness of the different armies, the cost of main taining them for year, and the cost of one soldier for the same period. It is as follows:

To fight In distant lands;
His charger was a coal-black steed.
His sword was In his hands.

My valiant deeds will tell"

And sped him on his way.
