PROBABLY n BLUFF.

agricultural Advertising for Septem-
ber, magazine, by the way, devoted
to the agricultural interests of the
country by furnishing medium
through which the farm and stock
journals can advertise their papers,
has an illustration showing tEA enor-
nous wealth of the farmers of Amer
lea.
A typical farmer is represented as
standing with contented smile upon
his face, and holding In his arms
three ears Of corn some four feet long
labeled Product of 1902" At his
feet stand two men. of rotund figures,
which reach little above the knees of
the farmer. One of these figures rep
resents the steel trust, the other the
railroad interests of the nation, and
both are unsuccessfully offering their
wealth and business for his corn.
Underneath are the words: THE CEN
sus of 1900 shows that the farmers Of
America have more wealth than the
steel trust and all the railroads in the
country combined"
1t is an interesting cartoon, and
doubtless represents a fact, inasmuch
as there are 5,739,657 farms, which in
the aggregate comprise 821, POI ,546
acres of our domain. There are
doubtless many hundreds of thousands
more farmers than farms, for there are
II ,276 firms that aver age 4.237 acres
each, 102,547 farms that average 662
acres each, the average for all the
farms in the United States being 147
acres. Compared to the number of
trust and those who own the railroads
are about as one in three hundred
thousand. Considering the difference
in numbers it would appear a little
cheeky for the steel trust and railroad
owners to otter to swap, but on the
other hand Cne ract that for over fifty
wears. While the farmers have been
busy tilling tne soil, those who now
compose the s!eel trust and own the
railroads were successfully devoting
all their energies to securing the pass
age of laws that would enable them to
own the world, it is a matter of sur
prise that they should be willing to ex-
change places with the farmers. How
ever, as all the wealth of the country,
except the comparatively few millions
which is dug out of the mines, comes
from the soil, and that the steel trust
and the railroads have been able to
grab yearly enough of this wealth to
build up in a few years businesses
running up into the billions, and as
their object seems to be the ultimate
ownership of the world, there is a
suspicion that this offer to trade with
the farmers conceals an ulteSior OBJ
ject Possibly that object may be a
bluff to make the farmer feel content
ed with his lot and satisfied with the
freight tariff he will have to pay on
his corn and the price the steel trust
will put on the machinery he will be
compelled to purchase from it.

UNJUST
Is Criticism Of Mayor Buel, Say
His Friends.
(specIal Cerresnondence.l !

Barherton, July 10.-Mayor L. NJ.
Buel has been severely criticised for
filming the men who threw Officer La
Fevre in Wolf creek only $50 for that
offense whilee a man occasionally gets
$40 for intoxication. The Mayors
friends say this criticism does him an
injustice, as $50 was the maximum
penalty which could be imposed for
the offense with which the men were
charged, disorderly conduct, and there
were some pecullarities about the case
which made disorderly conduct the
only charge which could be preferred
against them. "And,' say they, "the
Mayor has his own reasons when he
fines a man $40 for intoxication."

An Ancient Monument.

In the churchyard at Bewcastle, Cum
berland, England, an isolated spot
about twelve miles from any railway
istation, is monument bearing the in
scription, THE First Year Of Ecgfrith,
King of This Realm e., A. d. 6TO.
Another inscription Runic) on the west
side says that 1t was set up as q
. standard of Victory In Memory OF
Alchfrith, Lately King" (of Northum-
bria), who played so important a part
in the history of the time.
An interesting account of the cross Is
given in Bishop Brownies work, 'sThe
Conversion of the Heptarchy" He says
that the inscriptions are "the earliest
examples known to be In existence OF
English literature and, looking to the
Importance in the history Of the world
OF the conversion Of England, there is
no historical monument in these lands
to compare with the Bewcastle cross"
The shaft as 1t stands is a square
pillar composed Of a single block Of
gray freestone fourteen and a half feet
high The cross head is gone, but when
entire the monument must have been
about twenty-one feet high.

In China It is considered obligatory
on all persons to settle every pecuniary
obligation before the first day Of the
new year, a custom that might with
profit be initiated elsewhere. The Chi
nese have also the singular practice of
dating oil births on the first day Of the
year on which they occur, so that as
far as the record shows every China
man has but one birthday, the first day
OF January. The widest variance is OBJ
servable In the selection of the day
which should be considered the first OF
the year. Some nations have begun 1t
in the spring, others In the autumn,
some In midsummer. most In midwin-
ter; but, whatever the day, the usages

MAN A RATHER POOR LOT.
Some of His Faculties Compared
with Those of other Animals


With Those of other Animals.
"Man is vain sort Of an animal at
all times" observed a thoughtful citi-
zen, and In his process OF naming and
classifying things around him he has
attempted TO leave reminders of him
self in every possible place, and he has
generally succeeded, for ones eyes
may not escape falling on something
named after some OF his attributes.
But when we come to think Of IL, when
we come to look nature squarely in the
face, man is not the only thing in the
land which can lay claim TO highly de-
veloped senses.
Take the human eye Unquestion-
ably the little bundle of nerves In the
eye. which make Installation possible
and which present the mind with pho
tographic refinements which no art has
yet equaled, is one of the physiological
marvels and opens up an endless field
for speculation in the realm OF psychol-
ogy, that unsolved riddle of science In
whose presence even the giants have
covered and skulked in hopeless ig-
norance. Yet this eye, discerning with
so much delicacy when the picture is
no farther than the wall Of ones room
this eye with its circumscribed linn
Its would be looked upon with dignified
scorn by yoh soaring eagle if he only
knew how much farther he could see
than human being.
Take the human ear. We may not
hear so well as the rats and mice that
/ burrow under the palaces in which we
live or the squirrel that capers yonder
in the forest and countless other things
one might mention. We may differen-
tiate with greater accuracy and trace
retnements In sound which these low
er creatures may not trace, but when
1t comes to the matter of catching the
sound at long range their ears seem to
have been more perfectly constructed.
ut is conceded that no human voice
has ever been heard which could equal
In sweetness of tone the lays which
one may hear in the orchard. No hu-
man being ever sang more sweetly
than Patti, but she never sang SO
sweetly as the meadow lark when he
pours his gurgling love song out on
the summer air or the oriole when he
shades his silvered octave from the
bending bough.
What device for measuring water
pressure has man invented which will
compare with the nerves which string
the sides Of the fish2 1t is a sense
which is not represented in the human
category. Man must resort to artifi-
cialitles In order to learn the air pres
sure and the degree of heat or cold.
But it is different with the fish, for he
can always tell just what the water
pressure is, and he knows how much he
can stand, and he acts accordingly.
