The United States is the great
bread producing country of the
earth, and If our supply of foodstuffs
was suddenly cut off half the people
of other countries would starve to
death. Recently published statistics
show that the United States sells APP
proximately $1,oOO,000,0Oo worth of
surplus agricultural products in a
year. They feed the armies of Beers
and English, and squeeze in prices
in America is felt all over the world.
England is the best customer of this
country in food supplies. In 1900 we
sold her $40s, 100000 worth of farm
products. Germany spent here $134,-
100000 for agricultural products.
About half of this was for cotton,
the rest was for food. France buys
annually from us about $4,000. 900
worth of agricultural products, most
iy bread and meat.-Chicago Chron-

HAS MoTHER-IN-LAw STORY.
Rockefeller, Jr., Thus EARLY I'm His
Married Career, Gets on "a Pop
uIar Witttcism.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., was the
principal speaker at the annual din
ner of the Young Mems Bible Glass.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who has only been
married few weeks, made so bold as
to talk of women and mothers-in-law.
He was the last speaker, but he was
loudly applauded Mr.. Rockefeller
told this mother-in-law story:
"A young man and his wife had
lived for years, and not always pleas
antly, with the wife's mother. At
last the old lady died-or, at least,
they thought she had died. The pail
bearers carried her coffin down the
front steps and one of them slipped.
The coffin struck tree, the lid came
off, and then it was found that the
mother-in-law had not died at all, but
was only in trance.
well, she lived for some years aft
er that, and then she died again-this
time permanently. And as the pail
bearers approached that same tree at
the foot of the steps the young man
stopped weeping, turned to the man
who had slipped, and whispered: BE
careful, Sam; don't slip this time

THE NEW PRINCE OF WALES.
His Attempt at OratOFy In His Guild
Hall speech Calls Forth Favor
able Comment.

The evolution of the prince of
Wales from a sailor into an orator
causes more comment and satisfac-
ton than any event of the week. His
Guild Hall speech was perfectly free
from that platitudinous element
usually noticeable in royal utterances
in England. His declaration that the
old country must wake up if it want
ed to hold it's own almost took his
hearers breath away, but it has pro-
duced in all sections of the press
praise quite untainted by servility.
1t is probable that the prince was
not entirely responsible for the con-
struction of the speech, as he used
copious notes. Yet his delivery, earn
estness and willingness to commit
himself to such sentiments have
raised him higher in the estimation
of the people than any previous ac-
ton. Indeed, several of the papers
declared that the eIocution of Lord
Salisbury, Lord Rosebery and Mr..
Chamberlain fell quite fiat after the
prince of Wales effort. "Unquestion-
ably the best speech delivered at the
breakfast" is the Spectators com
ment.
HE used his opportunity by say
ing things of distinct political inn
port, constitutional propriety being
none the less punctiliously saved"

REPORT ON GUN TESTS.
Army Board Highly Commenda the
12-Inch Rife But Calls Gath
mann GUN a Failure.

Secretary Root transmitted to con-
gress the other day the report of
the board of officers which conducted
the test of the Gathmann gun at
Sandy Hook. The report says: THE
method used in the 12-inch army
service rife contemplated, first, the
penetration of the armor, and then
the defamation of a high explosive
contained in a thick-walled projectile.
Thus there is included the destruc-
ton of the armor, of the structure
of the vessel, of the armament, of the
interior mechanism, and of the per-
sonnet.
after a careful consideration of
the effect of the various impacts on
the respective targets of the Gath
mann gun and the 12-inch army serv-
Ice rifle the board finds that none of
the impacts from the Gathmann gun
would have endangered modern bat
tleship; that the Gathmann system is
not effective as a means of attacking
armored vessels; and that any one of
the shots from the 12-inch army serv-
ice rifle would have wrought serious
injury to a modern battleship as re-
CARDS its buoyancy, the interior
mechanism, the armament and per-
sonnet.
ut may be said in this connection
that the destructive effect of the ~
inch army service rifle surpasses any
thing hitherto obtained from any gun
so far as this board has knowledge
or as the records show. Both in in
itial and sustained velocities the 12-
inch army service rifle of both mod
els is so far superior as to give all
other ranges much greater probable
ity OF hitting, and the remaining
velocity at four miles is sufficient to
perforate the heaviest armor now be-
ing put on battleships.
There is nothing in the Gathmann
system to recommend it's adoption in
the public service of the United
States or to warrant further experl-
ments."

ABOUT THE wooDcHUcK.
The Animal lis Cousin of the sQuir-
rel--sleeps AII Through the
Winter.

Perhaps no wild mammal is more ia
miliar to country people than the
woodchuck Every hillside and mead
ow is dotted with the small piles Of
earth which mark the doorway to his
home. The woodchuck prefers hill
side or a knoll in which to dig his
hole, for here he can easily make the
end of his den higher than the begin
ming, thus avoiding the danger of be-
ing drowned out.
What could be more unlike in gen
eral appearance than a woodchr tx
and a squirrel? Yet they are cousins,
both belong to the same family Of
mammals. The trim body, sharp claws
and agility of the squirrels make it
possible for them to lead an arboreal
life, jumping recklessly from branch
to branch, while the fabby form and
short legs Of the woodchuck better
adapt him for digging than for run
ming or climbing.
The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such, says a writer in Country
Life in America, that he cannot lay
up stores as the chipmunks do, nor is
it of such a kind that it can be OBJ
tanned during the winter. The case of
this creature during the winter seems
to be, therefore, one of "sleep long and
soundly or starve." During the win
ter's sleep or Information life proc
esses go on very slowly. Breathing is
reduced, and the heart-beats become
so slow and feeble that they cannot
be felt. They come from their win
ter's sleep about the LIST of March in

TROUBLES OF BUSINESS MEN,
One OF Them Ia Due TO People who
Forget to Sign Their
Letters.

"Many people write letters that
they forget to sign" said post
office clerk. people come to us
every day with such letters, in the
hope that we may be able to trace
the writer's. Sometimes we can do
so, but not often. Of course, only a
small percentage of such letters are
brought to our attention, so the
total number must be very large.
IF the name of the writer is on
the envelope or letter-head the lack
of signature is of less consequence
But it happens frequently that inn
portant letters cannot be traced to
the writer's.
"A certain business house in this
city brought in a letter one day,
minus the signature, and containing
a ten-dollar bill to pay for certain
goods ordered. 1t came from a viii
lage in the interior of the state, and
it was sent to the postmaster of the
place, with the request that he as
certain the name of the writer, if
possible. He failed to do so, and the
matter rested for some time. One
day we received letter from the
same town asking as to the RELIABLE
ity of the firm to which the letter
had sbeen written, saying that the
writer had sent the firm money for
an order of goods and had received
no reply. 1t turned out to be the
person we were in search of, and the
mistake was explained. But this was
an exceptional case"

FLOATING BUTTON FACTORY.
Boat ON the Mississippi River with

This factory is boat AZ feet long
and ~ feet wide, fitted with all of
the necessary machinery for the
manufacture of buttons, and provid-
ed with a three horsepower engine
for it's work.
The principal material used by this
factory is mussel shells, which are
found at nearly all points along the
in conducting the business hereto
fore has been the cost of transport
ing the shells. Now the factory has
reversed the operation and will go
to the mussels.
When a bed of the shells is found
the boat will drop its anchor and go
to work. When the bed is exhaust
ed it will move on to a new location.
In this fashion it will go from state
to state, from Minnesota to Louis
lana, passing along with the seasons,
and always enjoying the most desir-
able weather of the Mississippi val
ley.
On the boat the workmen have
their home, with all it's comforts,
and with freedom from land rent and
the visits of tax collectors.
