NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT.
Yield and Quality Have Attract
ed Attention in Oklahoma.

Cephus Miller, living twelve miles
southwest of Guthrie, Okla, has raised
a new variety of wheat that Is attract
ing wide attention, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. 1t is the FutzO-M Med
iterranean. which was originated by
crossing the Futzo Oh the hybrid Med
iterranean.
While his neighbors had a yield of
from ten to fifteen bushels per acre
Millers crop averaged twenty-five to
forty-five and tests sixty to sixty-one
pounds per bushel. No wheattield at
tracted so much attention during the
fall and winter, rs its superior stand
and deep green color made better pas
turage. This spring, while other fields
suffered more or less. his never had a
sign of rust.

MARS DEFEATS CUPID.
An Interesting Case Before the
War Department.

The war department has been re-
uuested to investigate the conduct of
and punish Lieut.. L. j. Van Shaick of
the Twenty-seventh infantry, who
broke his engagement to marry a
young woman of Altamont, N. Y, last
May. The lieutenant gave as his rea-
son that he wanted to go to the Phil.
ippines and fight the Moros, that tribe
having shown hostility to the United
States forces. He thought it was his
duty, he SAID, to fight the battles Of
his country rather than to marry his
fiancee. 1t is thought 10 Washington
that the war department "will not
take any action in the matter" So in
this case Mars defeated Cupid. 1t was
not always so. We have in mind a
similar incident that occurred not long
ago in South Carolina. The details,
as far as may be judged from the mea-
ger information, were precisely paral-
lei with that of the New York case.
But the South Carolina lieutenant was
precipitately fired by the war depart
ment. and for 10 other reason than
that he had broken his engagement to
marry.
Has the department finally reached
the conclusion that it has nothing to
do with affairs Of the heart, or has the
New Yorker a pull which the South
CarOlinian lacked?

The New York Herald's European
edition publishes the following from
its London correspondent:
General Joseph Wheeler, who, will
his three daughters, saw King Ed
wards coronation procession passing
both ways from his stand, was mucl
impressed by the spectacle.
1T was certainly one of the most
brilliant pageants ever witnessed since
the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte
in 1904" said General Wheeler. The
soldiers were selected men from the
Horse guards and the best military or
CARNATIONS in all parts Of the empire.
j think the effect of the display will
be of great benefit to England.
, 1.-The colonial troops will go home
filled with qualification at the atten-
ton and applause they received. Inc
effect must be to cement the feeling OF
good will toward England throughout
the colonies
1.-The Indian chiefs and troops were
especially applauded. l was rather
surprised to learn of the extent of the
independent attitude of the princes OF
India. who are almost absolutely indie
pendent sOvereigns, the exactions by
Great Britain resting upon them in as
light manner as possible. During
NV almost three months stay in Eu-
rope | have accumulated evidence of
the unfaltering loyalty Of the Indian
princes and people to the British gov
eminent. 1t was interesting to see
their devotion to Earl Roberts. / have
seen great deal in the army admin
istration OF Great Britain and France
which highly cOmmends itself to me.
l hope commissions of able officers
NAV be sent from America through
Europe to study European systems in
order that our own may be brought to
q higher state of perfection.
"Of course the pageantry was one
appropriate only TO monarchy and one
that could not very well take place in
our country, but the formations were
made and the troops put into position
without any confusion and in man
ner showing it was done under men
who thoroughly understood the con-
troll of troops on occasions of cere-
mopy.
''The most striking thing to me about
the whole event." said General Wheel
er in conclusion. was the great APP
pIause given to Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener"
Mr.. Frederick w. Hollis Of The Hague
arbitration tribunal said:
quite apart from the political and
constitutional aspects, the coronation
struck me spectacularly and musically
as one Of the most beautiful and i'm
pressive religious services which could
be imagined.

ately heightened by the grand build

PLEA FOR KNEE BREECHES
Senator Depew Says Court Cos
tune Wins Trade.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew. recent
" interviewed'by the New York Even
ing Journals London correspondent on
the knee breeches question, said:
THE United States has become one
of the family of nations. When you
become the member of community,
great or small, you have to behave
with what is regarded as good man
ners by that community or be consid-
cred a boOr. You can be q bOOr II you
like that position. We had member
of congress once who refused to wear
a dress suit or socks because he found
he could associate only with people
who did not wear dress suits and
socks, and then he discovered another
limitation in that he had to wash his
feet.
MIR. Reid In a recent speech proved
by precedent that the wearing of court
dress by Americans had existed from
the foundation Of the government and
that we had never departed from it.
We don't conform to the requirements
of all the courts to which our embas-
sailors are accredited. The only con-
cession we make at court is the wear
ing of knee breeches and stockings"
When told that Mr.. Morgan Wore
knickerbockers at the Choate dinner
he smiled without comment. Then he
said:
when we send representatives to
foreign government for the purpose Of
maintaining friendship and amicable
relations, 1t is not so much for objects
of peace or war as for getting trade.
If you begin by offending the customs
and traditions which foreigners exact
from other guests, you will be handi-
capped as against the nations who do
not so offend. Also you will not ac-
complisn SO much. Franklin discOv-
cred that when he went to France. If

LETTER FROM MURDERER TO HIS
YOUNG SON.

Mr.. Mathis, the convicted murder
er, now in the Oxford jail, has writ
ten his son the following pitiful let
ter:
ut is with "A heart full of sadness
that | write you this from the county
Jail, where l am now confined. l am
in an iron cell, eight by sixteen feet,
where | am kept day and night.
Everything in the o is a stove, an
iron bedstead, d hard mattress and
some blankets. If you live to be old
enough l want you to visit the place
where your father spent his last days,
and let my fate be Il lesson to you.
My cell is the second one on the right.
As you look in | hope that you will
realize that right here l spent many
an hour of fear and anguish on ac-
count of your welfare. Many a time
| have Rugged you to my breast and
while | loved you with all the tender
ness, | had rather you had died in in
fancy than to follow the life | have
led. One thing that is the earnest
wish of your loving father is that you
do right in all things from the time
you are old enough to know right
from wrong. Love and obey your
kind mother and try to be a comfort
to her, and make up for the trouble l
have caused her. Your life will be
lust what you make it. You can
make it a success or a failure. You
will find that people will watch you
closely on account of the way that
YOU father has done. But you will
get credit when you do right and con
demnation when you do wrong.
You will meet with evil tempta-
tions, but never submit to the first
temptation to do wrong. Be indus
trious and economical; love and fear
God. and success will crown your eff
forts. Remember that poverty does
not degrade you or make you unhap-
Ply. Nothing will degrade you but
sin. The wages of sin is death.
Above all never touch whisky nor any
strong drink. Never think you can
take one drink without it harming
you. Every drunkard has seen the
time when he could drink alone. In
temperance has ruined more men than
any other evil in the world. When
whisky gets the advantage of a man
he is fit for no business or position in
life. An the demons of hell combined
could not contrive or invent anything
that would be a worse curse to hui
mainly and work for Satan as whisky.
And | want to say here that women
could put whisky and drinking down
if they tried.
when | was young my life was
promising. | was the idol Of my par
ents, and vas well thought of by
everybody. There was nothing to
keep me from growing up a good man;
but | learned to love whisky. At first
| would only take a social drink with
friends, but | kept on taking it until
the appetite grew ON me, and l could
not stop. 1t lead me where | am now.
Never touch it, my boy. Remember
your fathers warning, and grow up a
good man. Forgive me the wrong
have done VOu.r
