HOW PERKINS SAW THE KING.
The California Senator Tells of His
Meeting With Oscar of Sweden.

Meeting With Oscar OF Sweden.
Senator Perkins, Of California, who
to quote his own words, Is a sailor by
profession, a merchant by necessity
and a politician by accident, has had
in his life more adventures than fall
within the experience Of an ordinary
man. Perhaps this is because Sena-
tor Perkins followed the sea for so
many years. One Of Mr.. Perhns's
most interesting adventures was his
meeting with King Oscar Of Sweden
and Norway.
II was quite boy then" said the
senator, telling the story yesterday.
II had sailed in the good ship Luna
from New Orleans to Sweden with a
cargo of cotton, and while the ship
was in port I thought I would like to
see the royal palace in Stockholm.
One Sunday afternoon, in company
with a sailor named Harry Brans-
combe, an Englishman, we went up to
the palace. Boy like, we wanted to
get into the grounds, and 80 we crawl
ed through a waste pipe which ran
through the walls around the palace
park. AS soon as we got inside, how
ever, we were arrested by the gendar-
mes, and as we did not know word
of Swedish we were in a sad plight.
Presently" continued the senator,
"a party Of distinguished people came
along and seemed interested in our
trouble. One person in the party
spoke English. He asked us what we
were doing in the kings park. I told
him that I was an American boy, who
wanted to see the king and how the
king lived.
"'But don't you know he said, that
you might be put into prison for tres
pasing?'
ooh I said, 7 don't want to hurt
the king; I only want to see him.
"T am King Oscar was his reply,
and then" added Senator Perkins, Il
learned that was really in the pres
ence Of the monarch"
What happened to you then?" ask
ed his listener.
1.-THE king" he replied, "sent a SOL
dier with us to show us the palace.
and we had a splendid time. But that
wasn't the sequel to the story. Thirty
years later, when I was governor OF
California, went off on little cruise
on a yacht, and who should be sail
or on the yacht but Harry Brans-
combe. He knew me and knew him,
although we had not seen each other
for 30 years. I took him UP to San
Francisco and gave him place in one
Of my ships" Post.

SENATOR VESTS DOG CASE.
His Client Liked q Good Dog, and

Good.

His Client Liked a Good Dog, and
the Best Lawyer Was None Too
Good.
A story is going the rounds Of the
newspapers crediting Senator Vest, OF
Missouri with uttering an eloquent tri-
butte to the dog. The eulogy OF the
dog is really a beautiful one, and 1t Is
not surprising that, according to the
story, Senator Vest won his case IN
court.
YES" said the senator yesterday
when some one asked him II the story
was true, II did have a case in which
I said something about the dog, but
the speech, as printed, is not exactly
as delivered it. There was no short
hand writer In court, and the report
was made up afterward by combina-
ton Of rough longhand notes and
memory"
How did you get into the dog
case?"
WELL" said the senator, zone day l
was going to my hotel, after having
argued all day, when a farmer stopped
me on the street Squire Vest" he
said, 4 want to hire you in case
What kind Of case? I asked. "A
dog case he replied.
II looked at the man and made up
my mind that I did not want TO go
into court on a dog case, so told him
that he had better 60 to a younger
lawyer, as I would charge him too
much. How much?' he asked, and
I named $500. He went down into his
pocket, took out a roll Of bills and
counted s1O0 into my hands as re-
tanning fee. I grew interested, OF
course, and asked him for the details.
He told me that he had owned a pc
culiarly fine dog, which had been shot
in cold blood, as he expressed IT, by
his wifes brother, with whom he had
had trouble. I loved the dog, said
the farmer, as I love my wife ana
child, and I am going to make MS
murderer suffer, if it takes every cent
have
"The dog" continued Senator Vest,
was really a valuable animal ana
was known throughout the country
for miles around. The farmer had
secured over a hundred witnesses as
to the value Of the dog. I tried the
case and, as have always liked dogs
1 did make a speech, which influenced
the jury. We asked for 5000 and the
jury gave US $780, But that dog case

first and only one. ne."-Washington

ASSUMING TO DICTATE.
Gossip About South Carolina Con-
Rressmen.

Washington correspondence Of News
and Courier: Trouble is brewing among
the members Of the South Carolina del
egation, and it is feared that the end Is
not yet. The cause Of the impending
strife Is story that the delegation had
pledged its support to Representative
Latimer in his race for the senate this
summer. Where the strange tale orr
ginated, or what foundation it has, is
yet not forthcoming, else there would
have already been a public denial from
at least two Of the members. AS the
matter stands, the members affected do
not care to advertise the story by deny
ing 1t through the public prints. Fur
thermsre, they are particularly averse
to committing themselves to the man
they intend supporting in the race for
the senate, which they would in meas
ure be forced to do in denying the re-
port. However, should the story con-
bers has declared his intention Of get
ting the delegation together for the pur-
pose Of clearing up the whole affair.
Soon after congress met last Decem-
ber the South Carolina delegation held
a caucus, at which were present six Of
the seven members. The purpose Of the
meeting was to decide what they would
ask the speaker for in the way of COM
mittee assignments, and what would be
the general policy of the delegation
during this session of congress. AS a
result, 1t is said, the members came to a
harmonious agreement. South Carroll
mas welfare was to be the one end and
aim Of their efforts, and they were to
back up each other in their striving for
plums for their constituents. This, 1t
is claimed, is the only caucus held by
the delegation. and on this occasion
"the senatorial campaign was not
touched with ten-foot pole" as one
Of the members expressed it. What
bearing this meeting has on the sto-
ry in question is not known; but some
of the members are Of the opinion that
the purpose Of the harmony evil
denced at that time has been mis-
construed, not necessarily by Repres-
entative Latimer, but probably by out
siders, as indicating the attitude Of
the members toward each other out
side the walls Of congress.
AS matter Of fact the delegation
is by no means agreed on any one
candidate that has yet announced
himself for the senate, although each
member has probably pretty good
idea as to which Of the aspirants he
will lend helping hand.

WHEAT DOES Nor GROW WILD.-The
existence of names for wheat in the
most ancient languages confirms the
evidence of its great antiquity and of
its cultivation in the more temperate
parts Of Europe. Asia and Africa.
From the evidence adduced by botan-
lists of high standing, it seems highly
improbable that wheat has ever been
found growing persistently in wild
state, although it has often been as
serted by poets, travellers and histo-
rians.
In the "Odessey," for example, we
are told that wheat formerly grew in
Sicily without the aid of man. Diodo-
rus repeats the tradition that Osiris

PoE's ARMY RECoRD.-Edgar Allan
Poe, author and poet, according to the
records of the war department, en-
listed as a private in the United States
army, served nearly two years with
tinction-attaining the rank of SER
geant major-and was honorably dis
charged. His enlistment, which took
place three years after Byron's death
in Greece, was a boyish freak,
prompted, perhaps, by reading books
of military adventure. Poe served un-
der the name Of E. A. Perry, his right
name coming into the record only in
connection with his offer of substi-
tute. The enlistment was at Fort In
dependence, Boston Harbor, May 70,
1927. Poe is described by Lieutenant
H. Griswold, who enlisted him, as Y
years old, feet inches in height
gray eyes, brown hair and fair COM
plexion. He was assigned to Battery
H. First Artillery, which was soon af-
terward transferred to Fort Monroe,
Va. Nearly two years after entering
the army Poe was advanced to the
non-commissioned staff, having while
at Fort Monroe shown ability that at
tracted attention. On April IA, 1929,
he offered a substitute and was honor
ably discharged, having at that time
the rank of sergeant major. On July
|. 1880, he was admitted to the Military
Academy at West Point, and on
March 5, of the following year was
dismissed by order of court-martial,
having grown tired of military life
and purposely violated rules and reg
ulations which would cause his dis

COTTON SEED PRODUCTS.
Great Growth of Industry Still In
It's Infancy.

It's Infancy.
The preliminary bulletins Of the GEN.
sus bureau always contain valuable
information, but one which has just
appeared is especially interesting to
the south. It relates to the cotton
seed industry and shows what great
importance 1t has acquired.
In 1900 there were 357 establishments
devoted to the extraction of the cot
ton seed oil, all Of them in the south.
the number has increased largely since
these statistics were compiled.
During the year ended June 1, 1900,
the mills manipulated the enormous
quantity Of 2.479,3S6 tons, which cost
$28, ,632;616, an average Of $11.55 ton,
The total value Of the products Of the
cotton seed oil mills in the year refer
red to was s42, 1886, making the pro-
fits from the conversion of cotton seed
in one year $13,779,219. The products
turned out in that year were 93,325, 729
gallons Of cotton seed oil, valued at
$21, ,390,674, or an average Of 1913 cents
per gallon; SS4,391 tons of oil cake and
meal, valued at $16,03O,576, or $1S.13 a
ton; 1,169,286 tons Of hulls, valued at
SO, ,1S9,354, or s2.73 ton, and 57,272,053
pounds Of linters, valued at $1,SO1, ,231,
or 81 cents pound.
The cotton seed industry, great as 1t
has become, Is still in it's infancy.
In 1870 there were only six cotton
seed oil mills in the United States. By
1880 the number had increased to As.
In 1890 there were 119 and in 1900 there
were 357. 1t is probable that there are
now at least 375, an increase Of over
200 per cent. in ten years.
Cotton seed oil products are not only
used for many purposes in this coun-
try, but they are exported in great
and increasing quantities.
Much Of the best "olive oil'' we get
now is cotton seed oil that has been
refined in France. Cotton seed meal,
cake and hulls are gaining favor In
Europe as feed for stock. The oil Is
used there and in this country In In
creasing quantities in bread and for
frying. It is much purer than most Of
the commercial lard and Is more
wholesome.
Every year the cotton seed industry
increases in importance, adds more
to the value of the cotton crop and be-
comes more useful to the public.

 One incident was especially noticea ble.

The rage of the crowd for a moment was terrible and suggested a vision of Goya's fearful picture of the Mamelukes who fell victims to the mob on the same spot. Happily the people fell back There was momentary hush and their their menaclng attitude suddenly changed.
