DISTRESS IN PERU,
Suffering Consequent on the Depres.
sion in Sugar Industry.

Little Peru has come in for share of
the great crisis in sugar. A report from
United States Minister Dudley at Lima,
dated June 20, states that a commission
had just been appointed ''to investigate
and report to the executive on measures
calculated to relieve the difficult situation
of the sugar industry"
The general prosperity of Peru, says Min
lister Dudley, may be fairly said to vary
with that of the sugar producer. Forty per
cent of the capital of that country, he says,
is invested in cane sugar growing In con-
sequence of the decline in the price of
sugar during the past year, the Industry
has suffered most severely, and with it all
the allied or dependent interests. On all
plantations the number of laborers has
been greatly reduced.
The annual export of sugar from Peru is
about 10000 tons Prior to the fall in
price this expectation produced S5.S44, 600;
today that income is reduced to $3,3OO3OO.

For Business Purposes.

''On the other hand. there is a fair prs
pect that automobiles may gradually come
into use for purposes of business. 1 have
been told that the postal authorities are
now considering the advisabllity Of pur-
chasing automobiles for the TRANSFORMATION
of the imperial mails at Tokyo. The malls
are now carried in wagons or carts, each
drawn by a single horse. The government
must keep several relays o. these horses
which are a continual source Of ANNOYANCE
and expense. Should the postal authorities
decide to buy automobiles, those that are
run by steam would be considered objection
able because of the real or fancied danger
of fire to the imperial mails. Al present
gasoline is exceedingly expensive here, but
plans are In progress for Its manufaC ture
in this country. If these plans prove sue
cessful, gasoline will undoub. edly become as
cheap as in America, and its Use for gencr-
ating motive power will increase rapidly.
There are only a few street railways in
Japan, some of which are electric lines the
others employ horse cars. Al enterprislng
promoter might find 1t possible to establish
a public automobile service, which, until
additional street car lines are built, would

THUS DID He WIN.
In Up-tO-Date Romance of the Foot
ball Pieid That Comes Out
All Right.

This is a tale, youched for by more
Than one person, although for OBJ
dous reasons the names of the hero,
the heroine and the grim and hard
headed, rich old papa have been neees-
sarily left out, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. A certain promi-
aent member of Frankfort athletic
association, along with other young
men OF the town, was enamored of
the lovely daughter of one of Frank
ford's wealthy business men.
Now, this young man is not par
ticularly burdened with this worlds
goods, and among the other suitors
were men of considerably more
wealth. Yet the young woman, with
the perversity OF her sex, favored
him more than the rest. Perhaps IL
was his winning ways or his manly,
athletic proportions. At any rate, she
gave him to understand that, so far
as she was concerned, riches would
not stand in the way of their union.
Now, the parent is an enthusiast of
the game. lie knew the young man,
was aware that he was u football
player OF no mean stripe, and when
he asked for his daughters hand, in
timating delicately that Il was for
love alone he sought her, the old
gentleman listened patiently 20 his
story. Then, much 10 the suitor's
surprise, he answered him thus; go
and score a couple of goals for our
team; then come and see me again"
Highly elated, the young player
bided his time. At last came the
golden opportunity. One Saturday
afternoon several weeks ago his team
was up against a powerful rival.
Conspicuous among his fellow play
ers was the young man. lie was a
tower Of strength 20 his team, and
before The game was over, In blaze
Of glory, amid the plaudits Of his
friends, who were little aware Of the
stake for which he was really play
Ing, he skirted the ends for two
touchdowns, kicking a goal. lie could
hardly wait TO don his uniform be-
fore he was at the home of his de-
sired one. Succeeding in gaining an
interview without delay, he right
speedily did make the father ac-
quainted with the result of the game,
not forgetting to remind him Of his
promise.
"AHd now" said the father, "tell
me in what respect you differ from
your rivals in seeking my daughters
hnnd?"
THAT Is easily explained" said the
football player, without a moments
hesitation. "They loved for gold
while / goaled for love"
So pleased was the magnate with
the Young mans ready answer and
his earnestness that he gave his con-
sert then and there. Thus did the
football player, by bis wit and good
playing, win his bride and incidentally
fortune Of about $4,000 or so.
