Tom Mcneil in his Topeka Man and Breeze

# -" R
A hog that had been browsing
all summer in a pasture where the
picking was short, in early fall
was turned in on full feed to fat
ten for the market. The first day
the lean swine saw that he had all
that he could eat he thoughtit was
the softest snap he had ever had
in his life. He spent nearly the
whole day in either filling himself
with corn or slowing away a few
quarts Of slop. The next morning
he started in to repeat the pro-
gramme of the day before, but
somehow or other the corn didn't
look quite as good to him as it did
the first day. The third day he
stood off and looked at the pile Of
corn. Just then another lean,
hungry swine came up and looking
through the fence saw his former
companion standing there and
said: eft occurs to me partner
that / wouldn't stand with my
jaws shut like a chump with as
much good corn and swill in front
Of me as you have now"
"Three days ago." said the
stalled hog with a grunt of dis
gust, I would have said the same
thing, but / have found ont that it
is possible to get too much Of a
good thing

A small dog who was anxious to
make himself solid with his mas
ter, concluded that the way to do
it was to be vigildnt in guarding
the premises. Accordingly that
night the fool dog laid awake from
dark until morning and barked at
every noise in the neighborhOOd.
He managed to keep the family Of
his master as well as all the neigh
bors awake all night and in the
morning was all worn out himself
and so hoarse that he could hardly
make a sound. Still he was happy
because he thought he had done
the business up in good shape.
But his spirits took a tumble when
he heard his master tell the lady

him in the cellar tonight"

A summary of our foreign trade re.

rious countries of the world during the
last calendar year. Our total exports
We're 81 ,465, 3S0,919, or about $4,000

ing off is accounted for by the elimi-

was decided decline, amounting to
$46,3OO,OOO In the exports of manufac.
lures, which was almost balanced by
an increase Of $35,GOO,OOO In agricul.
tural exports. AS usual, the British
Isles bought over three times more of
our goods than any other country, Ger
many being our next best customer and
Canada ranking third Owing to the
industrial depression all the leading
countries of Europe except Holland
bought less of us than in 1900, Ger
many's purchases having fallen Off
$13,OOO,0O0. Mexico, another large con-
sumer of American goods, also bought
n little less than in 1900, but Canada
and South Africa each bought $1,000
600 worth more, and Australia about
$2,40O,O0O worth more. The largest and
most significant gain was made in our
sales to China, which increased over
81, 100000, touching the highest mark
ever reached. They were in fact 3d.

work. Through mistake of the zen

"RED ALBuMEN" FOR HENS.

"A Mineral from South America that
Promotes ERg-Laying.
For some time the press of the coun-
try has been busily engaged in discuss
ing something referred to as ''rcd al
bumen." Wholesale druggists have
been interviewed. and they have de-
clared that there is no such thing.
Technically, they We're right, though
really they We're wrong. Albumen is
an animal product. ordinarily made
from blood or eggs. The so-called "red
albumen" comes from little hamlet
In the Argentine Republic, about 500
miles back of Buenos Ayres. There it
is known as "Beckoe aIbumen,"
though because of its color, it is fire.
quently referred to as red albumen."
While the wholesale druggists declare
that they have never heard of red al
bumen, if some of your readers will
ask any drug house which has close
connections with the South American
countries for Reckoe red albumen,
they will be apt to get some of it, al
though it is quite expensive, even in
Beckoe, where, by the way, it is
mined in small way. The little ham
let lives almost wholly upon the pro-
ceeds of this Beckoe albumen mine. the
output Of which is said to contain
about 90 per cent of the purest albu-
men, thus contradicting the general
impression that albumen is purely
animal product.
This whole discussion was precIpi-
tated by the statement OF n gentleman
in newspaper. He declared that his
hundred hens, which had not been lay
ing for some time, began to lay as
soon as they were fed equal parts of
red albumen (given him by his broth.

eggs a day. and kept that up for
months without becoming broody. Here
in the United States persons interested
in poultry are continually discoursing
about the 20O-egg- a-day hen, but in
Beckoe and the immediate vicinity the
hen which does not lay more than 200
eggs in 1868 days is not considered
worthy to be kept. The people of
Beckoe attribute this marvellous pro-

they get regularly; but, after all. it Is

Not So Much Fun In That.

So fascinating is the humor of our
tariff that our German brethren are Sc
riously contemplating the adoption of
some of our best jokes. The cardinal
principle Of protection is to restrict, if
not TO prohibit, purchases from foreign
nations. That strikes the Teuton as such
excellent fun that his parliament is
about to apply to the United States the
anne priciple which our Congress has
applied TO Germany. We will take our
,"hedules," says the Relchstag, land en-
force them against all American goods
imported into Germany" That may
not provoke laughter OH this side of the
...tlantic, but why shouldn't it? The
German is quite rs much entitled to his
little joke as We Baltimore Sun.
