A Potato crop Episode.

Mr.. d. c. Prosser, correspondent
OF the Farmers Review in Oceana
County, Michigan, tells how a neigh
Dor of his made a fine thing out of a
potato crop. Some years ago he had a
Agood-sized crop and held it for the
late spring market He overdid the
holding to such an extent that the
market dropped on him, on account of
tie near approach of the time for new
potatoes Instead of letting go the
owner of the old potatoes rented all
the land he could in the neighborhood
and succeeded in getting in 120 acres
of potatoes. thus using the bulk of his
old crop for seed. The harvest gave
him a good crop-about $4,000 bush
els. These he sold at good price. and
so made a large profit ON the opera
ton.

British Housemaids.

Even in the British royal household
the post OF housemaid is apparently
no sinecure, and there is a story OF
a lady who, while engaging a new
servant, naturally made the inquiry
as to why she had left her last
place" 1t came out then that she had
been last employed at Buckingham
palacs and that she had left because
really her majesty (the late queen)
was that particular that after you had
done busting everything quite as much
as necessary she would pass her lace
handkerchief across a table or q chair
and notice even the tinisst speck." It
was also told OF the late queen that
she was so exacting as to the making
OF her bed that 1t took the chamber
maids two hours daily to make 1t, as
the undersheet had TO be most care
fully and smoothly stitched to the
lower mattress so that there never
was the slightest wrinkle.

For the first time in his glorious
ring career little George Dixon has
taken the count at the feet Of his op-
ponent. Beaten to a standstill by the
body punches administered by Eddie
Lenny, he sank exhausted to the can
vas and heard the referees voice toll
off the fatal seconds. The final strike
OF the gong sounded the passing of the
greatest little pugilist that the ring
has ever known.
Game to the last Little Chocolate"
stood up bravely before the rushes Of
his sturdy opponent and fought until
exhausted. Nature refused to support
him any longer.
SO passes George Dixon. He has
seen his best days in the modern
arena, he can no longer hold his own
with the rising generation, but his
name will live forever in pugilistic
annals as the finest little man that
ever donned a glove.
II his skin had only been white in
stead of black, what fistic ideal he
would have been!
Another match for the heavy weight
championship has been kicked in the
head. AS punishment for doing the
brother act with Peter Maher at Phila-
delphia, Tom Sharkey will lose his
chance to battle with Jim Jeffries for
fat purse. Word to that effect comes
from San Francisco and from Harry
Corbett, one of the leaders OF the
Yosemite Athletic club, which had ar
ranged to pull off the fight.
With Sharkey off the bills as
heavy weight attraction. a new effort
will probably be made to get Fitzsim-
mons and Jeffrles hooked up. The
prospect doesn't look encouraging for
a championship fight. Up to date not
q thing has been accomplished toward
getting Fitz into the ring again, al
though there have been enough propo-
Bitions for a dozen ordinary matches.
The whole business in a nutshell is
that F'itzsimmons wants the money.
n he can get enough to fight he will
pull on the gloves. II he can't there
will be no fight

Root 1. netter Than Gardner.

In the seventh round of what was to
have been twenty-round encounter
between George Gardner of Lowell.
Mass. and Jack Root of Chicago, at
San Francisco, the latter was awarded
a decision upon the claim of foul. In
a hurricane fight that developed Gard
ner as the aggressor, but Root as the
superior boxer. the Lowell man was
beaten. and finally forfeited the fight
upon a blow conceded by the specta-
tors to have been a straight foul. Gard
ner found in Root no such easy op-
ponent as kid" Carter had been, nor
did Root find in Gardner so easily a
handled man as was Byers, when the
two met here. Gardner, however,
fought on the outside in a wild and
uncertain style, while Root fought
on the inside determinedly and we'll.

Dangers of tho Calling Never Daun
Their Stout Hearts.

Their Stout Hearts.
1t was the fog alone that bothered
them. Swift currents and narrow,
crooked, channels have few terrors for
lake skipper, as long as he can see.
Give him the use Of his eyes and he
will make good time wherever the
ground is little damp and carry sew
eral thousand tons of iron ore along
In his trousers pockets. The seeming
y reckless way in which he pushes his
500-foot ship around sharp corners and
over shoals where there is not foot
of water between its keel and the
rocky bottom, finally bringing 1t up to
its own wharf without power, without
thinking of calling in a tug to help
him, is enough to make sea captains
hair turn gray. Not that he likes 1t,
exactly; not that he wouldn't much
rather have open water and clear SAIL
Ing all the way from Duluth to Buffalo,
If that were possible. But 1t isn't pos
sible, SO he takes things as they come
and does the best he can with his
tough proposition. And a remarkably
good best II Is. His business Is to hus-
tie, and he does 1t with all his might.
Even when the fog shuts him in, or a
binding snow squall comes bowling
down the great lakes, 1t is to be feared
that he does not always slow down as
he should. The season of navigation
is short, the ice will soon be making.
and the owners will be jumping on him
If he doesn't make his trips in time.

A NEW LINCOLN MONUMENT.

Been Planned.
Senator Cullom's project for great
monument to Abraham Lincoln in
Washington Is receiving gratifying en-.
couragement in consignment of the
plans Of the Burnham, Olmsted and
McKim commission for the improve
ment OF the national capital. In the
development of these plans fine sites
for great monuments results, and 1t
was agreed that the chief of these sites
of the axis OF the Capitol and the
Washington monument-should be as
signed to Lincoln.
The memorial which the expert com
mission proposes was presented simply
as suggestion; but the Washington
Star reports that 1t seems to have met
with universal acceptance. A number
OF the leading architects OF the coun-
try have seen the drawing of it, and
have expressed their satisfaction with
tyle of Doric columns, $50 feet long by
22O feet broad, supporting a high tab
let inscribed with the words of the
immortal Gettysburg speech. The
Doric is regarded, with justice, as the
appropriate order to represent the
character of Lincoln. The drawing
shows that the monument fronts vast

intended to commemorate.
