A MATRIMONIAL LOG.

This dairy pretends to truthfully
record the story of the bunch of school
teachers that the government sent to
the Philippines recently:
Wednesday-There are 600 teachers
aboard, 16O of them women. Some are
mere girls-others are merely girlish
All are bound for the Philippines
Many of them, no doubt, would be glad
to touch at the port of matrimony on
the way.
Thursday-There is spooning going
on everywhere, all over the boat. All
the handsomest men are in great de-
mand. One fine looking fellow from
Cleveland, in order to escape from at
tentions of six Boston spinsters, spends
most of his time in the foretop. 1t
isn't at all comfortable up there. but
he says he prefers it.
Friday-First engagement announc-
ed. He is just out of college and 70
She is a Portland schoolma'am and 81.
The example seems to be contagious
three more engagements were an
nounced by noon.
Saturday-Captain says he can't
work the ship unless the spooners get
out of the way. The captain is not
sentimental person. All the sailors 60
round with broad grins on their faces.
It Is supposed to come from hearing SO
much lovey-dovey talk. The bos'n is
the only one Of them that keeps sour
face. It is said he has been married
four times. The engagement roll now
numbers II.
Sunday-This was a day of rest for
everybody, except the spooners. The
steward says he doesn't care how
much love making they do on board.
It's a great saving for him, he says.
Those who are the deepest in love don't
care to eat. Nineteen engagements to
date.
Monday-The captain says there's no
use talking, the serenading business
has got to stop. The sailors can't hear
the orders because Of the love songs.
There's a Chicago school ma'am with a
mandolin, who makes life miserable for
everybody. She sings the saddest love
songs every night until II o'clock.
The captain says he'll either put her
in irons, or feed her to the sharks.
Twenty-four engagements up to 6
o'clock.
Tuesday-Thirty couples petitioned
the captain today to permit them to be
married on board. He said he'd be
jammed if he would. He was ordered
to carry over to the Philippines a lot
Of salaried school teachers, and he
meant to do his duty. He wasn't run
ming any floating tootsie-wootsie shop,
and he wanted them to know it. The
kind Of knots he was interested In
were the kind that ship is expected
to encourage. He said lot more about
most of them being old enough to know
better-and the Massachusetts girls
didn't like it one bit. The 80 couples
have agreed to get married as soon as
they reach Honolulu; but the others
have reluctantly concluded to wait un-
til they get to Manila.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

MOUNT MCKINLEY.
Measurements Show 1t to Be thu
Highest Land In America.

Measurements Show 1t to Be the
Highest Land In America.
Mount Mckinley, with an altitude of
20, 464 feet, is the highest mountain In
North America, and forms the central
point of an enormous and surprisingly
grand mountain mass, situated at the
headwaters of the Sushitna and Kus-
kokwin rivers, in Alaska. The range
is a portion of the Cordilleran system
Of North America, which follows in a
general way the contour Of the west
coast Of the continent through Alaska,
and down the Alaskan peninsula. The
mountain group Is extremely rugged
and Is covered with snow and Ice to
within 1000 or $500 feet Of sea level.
Down the sides of the mountains flow
many glaciers. One which flows off of
in length and six and eight miles IN
breadth and extends to the Chulitna
river, a branch of the Shusitna forming
the chief source of water supply Of that
stream. The Chulitna river, at the base
of the mountains. has an attitude OF
only about 500 feet, showing descent
of 10000 feet in the 80 miles between
the summit Of the mountain and the
river.
Mount Mckinley was known to the
Russians settled about the head Of
Cook Inlet nearly 100 years ago, and
was called by them Bulshaaia-i.e., big.
The first American to see and publish
an account of it was a prospector
named W. A. Dickey, who gave the
mountain its present name. The writer
made the only measurements Of height
ever obtained of this mountain, in the
summer of 1899. while exploring the
Shushitna river with party from the
United States geological survey. For
this purpose stadia line was run up
the river, measuring elevations as well
as directions with a transit instrument
reading to minutes. From points on
this line six angles for location and
elevation were obtained upon the
mountain, and from these angles its
position and height were determined.
The weighted mean and adopted height
was shown to be 2O,464 feet.-National
Geographic Magazine.

"Farmers' FavOrite''
Grain Drills.

|TRAIN DRILLS are now essential
" appliances to all good farming, and
it has been demonstrated that drilling
saves seed and increases the yield.
Drills have been in use for years; but
the enterprising manufacturers have
kept pace with the march Of improve
ment until today Grain Drills are per-
feet. The pioneer manufacturers have
watched every point and used labor
saving devices, and long experience,
gives opportunities to improve. More
than so years ago the BICKFORD &
HUFFMAN CO., Of Macedon, N. Y,
put on the market the first, known as
the Farmers Favorite." Prior to
that time grain was universally sown
broadcast. This pioneer machine mark
ed an epoch in the evolution Of seeding
devices and its great value was In
stantly recognized. In 1857 Lyman
Bickford patented a successful force
feed distributor for grain, and the prin-
ciples involved remain in use today, a
tribute to the genius of its originator.
For more than half century the Bick-
ford & Huffman Company have been In
the van with improved devices for SOW
ing grain, until the FARMERS FA-
VORITE" is favorably known in every
rain-growing country In the world.
Tne rdp1Oly increasing foreign tTdue, as
we'll as the steadily growing demand
at home, has compelled the company
to make frequent additions to their
plant, until they have one Of the best
equipped factories in the country, de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
Of grain drills. mot how cheap, but
how good" is the motto adopted by the
company, and the twentieth century
product combines many special fea-
lures Of excellence. One Of these Is the
stub axle and roller bearings. Attach
ed to the side arms Of frames, (Which
Is of steeD, are stub axles, upon which
the ground wheels revolve, and which
carry the entire weight Of the drill.
The main axle, which passes through
the stub axles, Is merely required to
run the mechanism, sustains no weight
and therefore there is the minimum Of
friction. The roller bearings encircling
the stub axle, and revolving between 1t
and the hub Of the ground wheel, very
greatly reduce friction. These make
the drills of light draft and easy to
operate. Two years ago steel ribbon
grain tubes were introduced and their
growing popularity recommends them.
This tube Is made Of one continuous
piece Of ribbon steel, Is perfectly flex-
ible and cannot buckle and stop the
flow Of grain and Is practically indes-
tructible. The Farmers Favorite"

SHE ORDERED LEMONADES.

She was entertaining friend from a
town in the northern part Of the state
and when the beauties of the park and
the wonders Of the breweries had been
enjoyed, the drive to Whitefish Bay
was next in order. There was the usual
crowd at the resort; but they were for
tunate in getting a table. A hurried
waiter presently swooped down upon
them to wipe pools Of beer on the table
and to take their order.
1.-Two lemonades," said the hostess,
timid but dignified.
The pleasure seekers gave their at
tention to the music and the crowd and
enjoyed the general animation, while
the band disposed of two numbers on
the programme, and still the lemonade
did not appear.
I'VE want two lemonades," she called
to a waiter rushing past. The band
played selections from Princess Chic. u
She looked with growing anxiety at
her watch and hailed a third waiter
with: !: .
I'VE are in a hurry and want our
lemonades."
Just as Princess Chic" was brought
to a triumphant close, two lemonades
were placed before the two women, and
were promptly paid for. Before all the
straws had been tested the second wal
ter swept two lemonades from his tray
to the table.
1--WE have been served" the hostess
said with dignity.
You ordered from me-" was his re-
ply.
Yes, but" she began.
II paid for this, now you pay me, u
said the waiter, looking obdurate.
II wouldn't do it," interposed hel
friend, Indignantly; but the waiter
waited. The bandmaster was raising
his baton to begin THE Bohemi IN
Girl" when the third waiter appeared
on the scene.
With dexterity he swept the glasses
on the table and with a flourish pre-
sented two more lemonades.
I'VE have lemonades," she faltered.
You ordered from me-" he replied
with the air of one sure Of his position
Yes, but"
Il paid for it, now you pay me-" was
the response.
Her face would have softened the
heart of any man out Of professional
hours" but the walters waited. She
looked from them to the smiling crowG
around them and felt she was 'in fol
it," so she paid for the six lemonades-
paid for them like man.
And. just think of it" she said, with
tears in her eyes as she told the story
they were 10 cents a glass."-Milwau.

MOTHER ALWAYS WoN.-They are not
exactly bad boys. these two in a GER
tain East Memphis family; but they
are invariably quarreling and fight
ing with one another. Probably it was
the fact of frequent parental interven-
tion that causes the few pauses in hos
tilities. At any rate, they are rather
famous in their neighborhood.
One day not long since one of the
neighbors, who was fond of contests
of any kind, asked:
Edwin, when you and your brother
fight so much, who generally whips?''
Edwin gave little wrggle as if in

currences. and said. resignedly:

CAN WE SELL WITHOUT BUYlNG7

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has confided to
an interviewer dream of future prosperity that,
when realized, will altogether eclipse that which we
now enjoy.

from foreign countries, says Mr. Wilson, are within
a few years to be grown within our own States Ter
rtories or insulsr possessions He especially enum
crates sugar, of which we are importing over $780,
100000 worth year; tea, which he says is now be-
ing grown with entire success in South Carolina;
rice, coffee, spices, rubber and other tropical pro-
ducts.
But when we have stopped importing the $780,
Co., 600 worth year OF food products from the trop
ical countries with which those same countries pay
for the goods they buy from this and other countries
can Secretary Wilson explain how we are going to
increase our trade with them? Trade does not, can

DEMOCRACY AND PROHIBITION.

Our intellectual and interesting brother of the
press, the former Republican attorney general of
Arizona, makes an elaborate, and of course, able
argument in the Star OF this morning in favor of the
mixing OF Democracy and prohibition. The Star
editor makes an argument on the lines of analogy.
and says:
II is a pertinent question. If a man who be-
comes prohlbltionist ceases to be Democrat.
Then what s the political status of the man or Dem
ocrat who embraces the gold standard doctrnep Or
who Joins gold standard party with view to defeat
the nominee OF the national Democratic convention?
Can man who joins in the dsseat of his party in the
interest OF the gold standard rule or ruin minor
ity De relied upon as a sincere Democrat
He can't The man who bolts the nominee of
his party cannot be called reliable party man The
gold bug who boted Bryan in 1896 or 1900 was
either an apostate Democrat or an assistant Repub
iican. Such person must do penance and receive
absolution before he can be trusted to voice Demo-
cratic sentiments be given power to exercise auth
ority IN the name Of the party.
Continuing its argument the Star fires this
broadside.
t would appear from the contention of some
who count themselves Democrats, that man cannot
