Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1902-12-23

Welt was making a round of calls,
and visited, among others, house
at which Mrs. La Toilette was as
sisting the hostess to receive. The
young commissioner became very
much interested in a discussion
which sprung up, and in making a
sudden gesture with his arm, swung
it back and knocked out of the hand
of a passing servant a cup Of choco-
late, which fell plump into the lap
of Mrs. La Toilette. AS i'll fate
would have it, the gown which she
was wearing was the white silk in
which she was married, and which,
naturally she cherished for associa-
TONS sake.
Every apology possible to make,
says the Chicago Journal, Mr.. Roose-
welt made on the spot, and Mrs. La
Toilette was most amiable in her
way of treating the accident; but it
was an embarrassing situation all
around, and spoiled the day for the
commissioner, who raclSed his brain
to think of some way of making the
damage good by indirection. He
could not offer compensation for the
spoiled gown, nor could he send her
new one. He was finally com
PEELED to fall back upon the usual
recourse; and the most beautiful
gift of cut flowers received by any
woman at the holiday season filled
the vases of Mrs. La Follette's re
ception room on the following rep
resentatives' day, having come in &
big box bearing the card of Theo
dore Roosevelt.

TIE WIZARD FARMER.
A Californian who Makes Fortune from
a Single Plant.

a Single Plant.
Luther Burbank, the California
"Wizard Of Horticulture" is a scien-
tist-farmer who makes the eyes of all
other tillers Of the soil open wide
with wonder HE'S a breeder Of plant
and tree life and by his art he can IN
five or six years addmore bushels OF
wheat to an acre than the ordinary
farmer can in SO years, says the New
York World.
Burbank studies chiefly combina-
lions, the blending Of species and va
rieties by cross pollenation. His mys-
titled neighbors say he plants extern
sive gardens and nurseries one year,
only to pull them all up the next year
But he sells one tree out of the num-
Der for more money than they make
out of all their fields together. He
plants seeds like the ants for number
and out Of the resultant seedlings,
when they fruit, he is satisfied with
only half dozen.
The European walnut has been
known to produce single tree that
sold for $4,000 won Muller); but
Burbank was not content with that
and believes he has improved the in
comparable grain Of the wood by
crossing it with the American and the
California walnuts.
Downing believed that crosses
such as Burbank makes might often
effect an advance of 20 to 30years in
the amelioration of a fruit.
DR.. Nilsson, of Sweden, however,
never yields to this temptation to
splendid amalgamation. He believes
in a return to the primitive type,
purging it Of all the mongrel strains
and handicaps, purifying it originally
down to prototype originated by ma
ture. He finds that every blend in
a cereal impairs its vitality; all sorts
that are mixtures Of several strains
are invariably Of inferior quality. A
mongrel between a bearded and a
non-bearded variety Of wheat is dis
tinct deterioration from either.
An attache of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture who visited
his seedfelds saw a II acre field Of
wheat Of a new variety so absolutely
uniform that all the joints in the
stalks were on a water-leyel across
the field, all being Of the same eleya-
ton above the ground.
Such a comprehensive sweep and
grasp of the subject does he possess
that il a short survey he takes in a
whole field of grain, and if single
plant departs from the type, that one
he selects for further planting.

Mangled to Death.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. l8.-An-
drew Scott, dairyman, was run
over and instantly killed this morn
ing by a suburban tram of the
Fountain Head Railroad Company.
He was in a milk wagon, crossing
the railroad tracks at Arlington,
when a dummy" train struck the
wagon. His head and one arm
were completely served and his
body was terribly crush.
The engineer claims to have given
the usual signals and says the
wagon appeared on TIE tracks just
as the pike was reached.

HoN. BEN 7. CABLE.

Chicago Chronicle reporter, candi-
dates will stand for election on the
proposition of fighting the trusts by
means of a revised tariff, the atti-
tude of the ruling party on island
reciprocity and the rights of the
Filipinos as voiced by Senator Hoar.
Mr.. Cable is type of the rich man
who finds fascination in politics, and
plays the game purely for the liking
of it. His associations have been
what is loosely termed "the silk
stocking element"-comprising quite
a number of men of means, but ex-
perienced campaigners, nevertheless.
This branch of the Illinois democracy
has control of the state machinery,
and in the campaign of 1896 was OPP
posed to the party stand on the
main issue. Mr.. Cables home is in
Rock Island, but politics will keep
him in Chicago most of the time.
