WORLDS CHIEF SPANKER.
Prof. Lille Chastised Forty-nine Pupils
In ThirtY-Seven Minutes.

Professor F. A. Lille now holds the
spanking championship of the world
by spanking forty-nine Youngsters in
thirty-seven minutes.
Manchester, near Waterbury, Conn.,,
was the scene of this record breaking
achievement, and there are precious
few children there now who are not
convinced that minding ones books is
as good in practice as in theory, says
the New York World. 1t came about
through a minstrel parade striking
town. 1t was recess. In body all
hands voted to quit and follow the
burnt cork artists. When the bell rang
for school, only a struggling few were
in evidence.
Principal Lille waited patiently till
the last scholar, a girl, returned. Then
there was an interesting executive SEES
sion in the cellar, in which a supple
length of garden hose and forty-nine
children played the leading parts. Then
the sobbing forty-nine, just thirty-sev-
en- minutes later, were marched back
to their books. The parents of the
spanked pupils are up in arms, and the
school board has been appealed to.
Lille awaits their coming with calm
ness.
Professor Lille is elderly and impos-
ing liz appearance. He likes to keep in
touch with the market, sings impress
sively in the choir of the Congregation
al church and is a great ''rooter' for
the Hartford Baseball club. There are
eight schools in the Manchester dis
trict, and Professor Lille is principal
of them all. In the other seven schools
now not even the passing of Barnum's
circus would cause an eye to lift itself
from a book.

is THE CHILD DEAD?
A Strange Case in Crawford
County.

The infant child of Mr.. John Gault-
ley of Roberta, in Crawford county,
died one day last week, or is supposed
to be dead. But, strange to say, al
though it has been dead six days it
has never shown any sign of decomno-
sition. The child is timber and its
lips are pink, though it lis cold and has
every other symptom of death. An
other strange thing is they have made
several attempts to bury the caild.
Their burying ground is in Taylor
county, and they have carried the
child to the river twice and had to
bring it back on account of high wa
ter. They carried it on the train to
Fort Valley, expecting to go by the
way of Perry, but found after getting
to Fort Valley that there had beena
washout on the Perry road and they had
to carry the child back again. They
appointed Saturday to bury it in the
Knoxville cemetery, but it rained so
hard all day that they could not bury
it that day. They crossed the river
with it next day, but they said they
were not going to bury it until it show
ed signs of decomposition. Doctors in
Roberta are very much puzzled over
tho case

INSURANCE IN u. S.
Thirty-Three Billion Dollars Rep
resent the EnOrmity of 1t.

Few people not acquainted with the
figures have any idea of the enormity
of the insurance business of the Unit
ed States, says Leslie's Weekly. 1t
not only exceeds that of any other
country, but is twice as great as that
of all the rest of the world combined.
At the present time there is in the
United States about $4,000, 100000 of
life insurance in force, including as
sessment business. This means over
$l60 for every man, woman and child
in the country, or $500 for every fami-
ly. The annual risks written by the
fire insurance Companies are estimat-
ed at $40, 900, 100000, which is $3.50 per
capita, or 81 50 per family. Thus it
will be seen that every family in the
country, as an average, has insurance
assets of over 81, 900. This total amount
of life and fire insurance is equal to
one-third the total wealth of the Unit
ed States. 1t is ten times the saving
banks deposits and five times our to-
tai deposits in savings, state and ma
tional banks. 1t is an almost Identical
amount with the deot of the whole
world, and it is about the same as our
annual turnover in commerce, trade
and transportation, and the Tn ited
States leads in this field of business
endeavor as it will soon lead in every
other.

MYSTERY FOR CONGRESSMAN
Postal Cards With POrtentOuS
Questions Puzzle Them.

Every member of congress received
in his mail several days ago postal
card bearing the postmark Chicago,
but devoid of all marks of authorship
or origin. The card is covered with
the imprint in red ink of apparently q
small rubber stamp bearing the out
line figure of mule and another of a
horse. A horse was stamped in the
upper left hand corner and in the low
err right hand corner, while twelve
imprints of mules were promiscuously
scattered over the card Across the
center, in large black type were these
questions:
SIS the president waiting to hear
from the people?"
will the people speak?"
Some members thought it had an
application to the eleomargarine bill,
others that it referred to Cuba, the
treatment of Schley or the attitude of
the president on the census bill.
Others took it, to mean the work of a
practical Joker, while not a few regard
ed it as omnibus and terrible calami-
ty awaiting the republican party.

PEACHES $3.50 A DOZEN.
Fruit from South Africa Appears
in Chicago Market.

Peaches from Cape Colony, South
Africa, made their appearance in the
Chicago market few days ago. This
was the second lot within 80 days.
Considering the distance travelled and
the lenght of time required the fruit
was in good condition, but it lacked
the high color that makes the peach a
favorite with consumers. There were
only few boxes, with dozen peaches
in each.
The price secured was not high, con-
sidering the long distance over which
they were shipped-S4.50 dozen. or
3719 cents each. A few dozen plums
came with the peaches. They con-
manded SO a dozen.

Why Rotate Your Crops.

The reasons for rotating crops are
stated to be as follows: All plants dc
not draw to an equal extent upon the
manurial ingredients of the soil. They
send their roots to different depths
and haye different solvent action up
on the constituents they reach. By
rotating crops insect enemies are
more apt to be dispersed. Fungus
diseases may also be materially re-
duced. The soil is maintained in good
filth, and bacteria which are bene6-
cial to the plant are more likely to in
crease. Weeds are more readily elimi-
mated, the humus compound of the
soil increased and the work of the soil
more easily distributed.
