renewing old acquaintance. He met
people today whom he had no: seen for
thirty years n shook hands with men
who had known him when a child.
The president thoroughly enjoyed the
affair and was as fresh when it was
over as when he began. He expressed
his feelings to a woman in the crowd
who asked hin if he was getting tired.
Not a Bit" he replied. 1T takes
more than a trolley car % knock me out
or a crowd to tire me-
The precautions TO SuarC the presf-

the most thorough character. In addi-
ton to Sheriff J~OhnsOn'S three hundred
special deputies who had zen swOrn for
duty today a large number Of secret
service men and policemen from New
York, in plain clothes. were on the
porch and about the grounds. No one
was allowed to go past the president
with a camera or q stick of In de-
ScriptiOn. Cameras, v~alises, canes, UNI
brellaS n in many cases ~OVercoatS and
WOmen'S wraps were taken from their
owners and piled up under Il tree near
the porch. 1t was PAS o'rlO,k when the
reception began. President Roosevelt
stood on his porch and @ hands.
The visitors passed the porch along n
road leading to the sidS Of the house
where Lemonade was served and thence
by another road out of the grounds.

black, poor and we'll to do. women with
babes in arms and several With dogs,
small boys n little girls, all got a
pleasant smile and SHAKE by the hands.
Many were in line who had known the
president most of his life and their de-
light in renewing an acquaintance was
apparent. but none gave thE president
more pleasure than the greeting of two
family servants, Maggie n Bridget
Mitchell, who had been servants in his
fathers family and came from New
York, where they now live to greet the
president and to show him d photo
graph of his father and one of himself
when he was o u years of age. The
president was delighted to sec the pic
lures and the servants and presented
the sisters 70 Mrs. Roosevelt
During the reception a number of
bands standing On the lawn, "a front of
the porch, discoursed music.
A pleasing incident occurred toward
the close of the reception. The New
York policemen wanted their picture
taken with the president. When the re-
quest was made of the president, he
complied at once.
This is one time I really want a pic
ture taken" he said. L Know these
men and admire them. / an proud tC
have my picture taken with them.

Millions of dollars worth of materi-
al is wasted annually on the farms of
this country, is a statement made by
some authority, writes w. E. Ed
wards. In the aggregate / suppose
there is an enormous amount OF waste
in every industry, and farming is no
exception to the rule. There are
farmers today who avoid waste on
their farms fully as much as the wide
awake manufacturer or producer IN
other lines. On the other hand, there
are plenty who fail to realize that they
are wasting good material, although
the process is going on daily under
their very noses. Everything is
waste that is not put to its best and
highest use. Thus cornstalks burn
ed in the field is a distinct waste if
there is any possible way to convert
them into food for cattle. Sometimes
it is decided waste simplybecause the
farmer is too stupid to see that his
best plan is to raise more cattle to eat
the stalks, and less corn. Again it
may be a great waste to attempt to
raise only one farm crop when the
uncertainties of selling the produce at
a fair profit are great, especially if
there are other crops which could be
raised satisfactorily.
Sometimes one of the greatest
wastes on the farm comes from the
failing to spend money for needed inn
provements. The soil that is not in
fit condition for raising certain crop
to the highest perfection is actually
wasted when sown with seed which
it can not possibly do the best by.
The waste comes in at such time be-
cause of lack of foresight or because
the farmer is unwilling to spend the
extra amount of money. Now, we
can waste time, machinery and labor
All of these are important factors,
and they must be studied separately
and individually. The successful
merchant studies the market, labor,
cost of production and the wear and
tear of machinery and waste of CAPT.
tai. So the farmer must, to avoid
leaks and wastes, look to it that the
highest efficiency is obtained from
every dollar of capital he has inves-
ted. Progressive farmers of to-day
are doing this, and they are rapidly
becoming the best business men of
the country. The pan who can take
un-down farm and build it up and
make good living from it through
good farming is 2. shrewd business
man not to be- overlooked in this age
OF strenuous living.

WHY THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY SUCCEEDS

The electric railway is to perform
a service for mankind as notable and
perhaps ultimately as great as that
rendered by its steam-operated pre-
cursor. Already it handles the bulk
of suburban and short-distance inter
urban passenger traffic; it carries
freight, mail, express, and baggage /;
it operates at speeds reaching 90
miles an hour its cars are operated
on time schedules and dispatched by
telephone its roadbed is often as ex-
pensive and heavy of construction as
that of the best steam lines and what
is more interesting to the investor,
it pays large dividends. At the pres
ent time 81 600, 600, 900 are nominal
1y invested in electric roads in the
United States and upon this sum
81, 900 are paid in yearly divi-
dends 3oo,ooo employees receive
yearly in wages $3.50, 900, 900, and
there are 10000 miles of track on
which 90, 900 cars run. In 1899 10
iiitlSS Vi ClG(IllC lOdu WClC DUIll lOI
every mile of steam road constructed
Still, it cannot be said that the cleo
trio roads have achieved their great
success in competition with steam
roads. They have opened field of
development which does not compete
with and was not open to steam.
The peculiar advantages of the cleo
trio system of traction are frequent
service, fexibility, convenient loca-
ton, clean, light and airy cars, and
low fares. Of these, probably the
most important are location and the
ability to maintain frequent service
with small units. By these means
electric roads have succeeded where
traffic did not previously exist and
could not have been produced by
steam roads.
