george washington Rock.

A most remarkable example of nature
sculpture in California is the George
Washington rock, about 35 miles north
west of Los Angeles, in the Santa susanna
mountains. Near this rock a two-mile
tunnel is being bored through the Santa
susanna mountains just outside Chats
worth park. A chiseled monument could
hardly bear truer likeness of George
Washington than this chance picture in
the ragged contour of a huge bowlder.
Viewed from one point and only one, it
stands out sharp and distinct against
the sky. From all other points the rock
is a shapeless mass. The image meas
ures fully rs feet from chin to brow, and
is close to the top of the hill. In the vi
cinity have been found Indian relics:
ovens, stones containing Indian writ
ings, arrow heads, mortars and many
traces of a settlement of a~borigines.

prolific, good breeders and Of large
size; they have deep bodies and arched
backs, which insures large sides; their
bones are large, legs very strong and
feet well formed and powerful. These
hogs are kindly disposed and very
vigorous and healthy. Perhaps II these
hogs were raised in large numbers, a
good market could be built up for
them. But at present the demand is
for pork and grease, and not for bacon
with alternate layers Of fat and lean.
At present we would not advise the
raising OF Tamworth hogs except for
home use. Poland Chinas, Berkshires,
Duroc-Jerseys, and other breeds that
run largely to fat, are best for market
ing, as the packers i'll pay more for
them.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

to be petted, and when the children saw
how really beautiful it was and the
friendship that its soft eyes expressed
they recovered very quickly from their
fright. They also patted its sleek sides,
and this so tickled the little doe that it
wrinkled it's nose too funny for any
thing. 1t was so happy to have so many
dear friends.
Then, what do you think? 1t ran onto
the playground and at recess time it
was still there, eating the grass and
frisking about the lawn in evident glee.
The little girls thought Miss Jenny
that is the name they gave it-would
like a cookie. Did Miss Jenny eat the
cookie? You may just imagine that she
did. And she liked it SO well, with the
other delicacies the children brought,
that Miss Jenny refused to leave. And
now every day at recess the children
play with and feed their new friend. 1t
is timid no longer, because it has found
some one to love it. The girls are going
to buy a shining collar for their pet,

not be proud?-Milwaukee Sentinel.

West Indian Life Plant

There is a creeping o found in
Jamaica, in Barbados and other islands
of the West Indies which is called the
life tree" or more properly the "life
plant" Its powers of vitality are said
to be beyond those Of any other plant.
1t is absolutely indestructible by any
means except immersion in boiling
water or application of a red-hot iron. II
may be cut up and divided in any man.
ner, and the smallest shreds will throw
out roots, grow and form buds. The
leaves of this extraordinary plant have
been placed in a closed, air-tight, dark
box, without moisture of any sort, and
still they grow.

JAMES |. BLAIR INDICTED
Former General Counsel of Worlds
Fair Charged With Forgery.
Two Bills Are Reported by Grand
J~ury-Gives Bond in $4,000
For His Appearance.

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-Two indictments
charging forgery in the first degree
against James l.. Blair former general
counsel for the Worlds fair, were re-
turned with the grand jury's final re-
port to Judge Daniel G. Taylor Thurs
day afternoon. Accompanied by coun-
sci, Mr.. Blair appeared at the Four
Courts at six o'clock and gave bond.
Judge Taylor fixed the amount of bail
in each case at $4,000. Judge James
A. Seldom. Blair's former law partner.
and Attorney John F. Lee signed the
two bonds. Blair was then taken back
to the Mullanphy hospital, where he
has spent the last month under DR..
Romans treatment.
1t is charged that both of the al
legged forgeries were committed in
connection with Blair's c~otrusteeship
in the Blow estate. The indictments
counterfeited deeds of trust the de-
PENDANT obtained from the estate $32,-
900.
James I. Roberts, who at one time
was a clerk in Blair's Office, gave the
first testimony against Blair before
tie grand jury on October %.
In addition to the alleged irregulari-
ties in the Blow estate, Roberts told
of an alleged shortage of $4,000 in
affairs of Dick Bros. & Co., of Phila-
delphia, for whom Blair was the st.
Louis representative. Roberts spent
five hours in the grand jury room CIV
ing his testimony.
Evans r. Dick and George S. Ora
ham, attorney for the company, re-
fused to come to st. Louis to testify
before the grand jury, and action on
these alleged irregularities was i'm
possible without their testimony.
The indictments against Blair were
not unexpected. 1t was reported a
month ago thar the grand jury would
make charges against the attorney in
its final report.

Goat Dimes on Sofa Fringe.

A oma living in Camden, N. j., re-
Gently discovered that Jersey goats, like
all other goats, can eat anything at any
time. This woman thoughtlessly left
her front door open for a few minutes
while she called on a neighbor. A goat
that was c%ontentedly chewing a wild
West" poster from a billboard near
by, seeing the open door, walked up the
steps and into the parlor. The goat
here found a delicious meal in the fringe
on the parlor sofa. The fringe disposed
of, he tried to eat up an ottoman, but the
ottoman being too tough, he began to
devour the wall paper. At this point
the woman returned, and, with a wild
scream. drove out the goat with a
broom. She then reported the matter
at the city hall, and the police referred
her to the city counsel, who was asked
to give an opinion as to whether the
owner of the goat could be held liable
or not.

Senator Wilmot, of Pennsylvania
once called on President Lincoln tc
ask that a consulate be given a party
worker who had been very pestiferous
and annoying, and who refused to be
satisfied with a reasonable reward fol-
services rendered. Where shall !
send him?" asked Lincoln. A large
map globe stood in the room. Wilmot
stretched his arm around its surface
as far as he could reach, and replied:
II do not know what my finger IL
touching-but send him there!"

When to Look for stars.

When it grows dark the stars begin
to appear, and the beauties of the
heavens are seen in their glory at
midnight, not at noontide. In our spir-
itual skies it is as in our natural skies.
New lights from Gods love are seen
by us, as we look up, when losses and
trials cause darkness to shut in about
us where before all was bright. AS Car
lyle says: 'The eternal stars shine out
as soon as it is dark enough."-S. s.
Times.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
BETTER WEATHER Is CONDUCIVE
TO BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Prices Generally Steady. Though But
ter and Eggs Are Easier-ArrivaIs
of Grain Taken at Higher Prices.

Better weather is adding 20 the activity
of the local wholesale trade. and the
week opens with an optimistic feeling in
the leading lines. Flour is more unsettled
now that the reports of the corner in wheat
has become more conclusive. Just what
effect this will have on prices cannot yet
be told. but dealers are talking very bull
ishly and will raise quotations in wheat
if prices and conditions remain long as they
are at present On Commission row sales
were large yesterday. Fruits, potatoes,
cabbage and other vegetables are moving
in considerable quantities, and home retail
buyers and sellers on the local market
stock up literally. Apples have been In
better demand since the easing of prices,
and choice stock is becoming firmer once
more. The demand for poultry is active
and prices strong. There is fair supply
of hens, but springers are scarce. Turkeys
are firm, with the supply about equal to
the demand. Butter and eggs are easier,
although not quotably changed. The whole
sale grocery market is active. Sugars con-
tinue steady. Coffees are much the same
in price as for several days past. Canned
goods are beginning to move freely, and
indications point to advance in prices
in some lines. Dried fruits also are moving
well. California fruits are on the market
and in good request. Oranges are in good
supply. and are selling % cents to so cents
a box lower than at the corresponding pc
Rod Of last year. Dry goods houses had a
very fair trade yesterday, but 1T is hardly
time for their business to set in briskly.
The same remark will apply to leather
dealers. Provisions are active and prices
are f1rmer on two or three lines, but the
general average is much the same as
week ago.

The railroad commissioners of Louis

The rumor is current that the Southern
Railway will at an early date absorb the

only hindrance TO the transfer OF the ROAD
TO the Southern Is that the southern Is
adverse TO entering the hotel business, and
Mr.. Flagler. the principal owner or the
road, has been unwilling to sell unless MS
system OF magnificent hotels went with the
road. This, however, has been arranged
it is intimated.
j. b. McNeeley, formerly agent of the
Indiana, Decatur & Western at this point.
now assistant freight agent of the Gin
cinnau. Hamilton Dayton, is mentioned
as successor TO ID. T. Bacon, general man.
ager of the Indiana Car-service Bureau.
His many years service in this territory
has given him an opportunity to become
acquainted with every business man and
also with the affairs of the several roads
in the association.
The roads centering at Buffalo have
gone so far as to decide to erect a union
station at that point, but there seems to
width available where sites have been
viewed provides for less than thirty
tracks, whereas double that NUMBER Is
contemplated. AS a passenger platform
between the tracks would require wide
space, there is some difficulty in getting
ground suitable.
The electric staff system of handling
trains On the Santa Fe lines over Ration

in successful operation one year. An aver

daily is handled on the twenty-three miles

up his order in rubber pouches from trains
while running thirty miles an hour. Staff
stations are connected by telephone as
well as by telegraph.
The question is asked why the term
overland" applies to the Union Pacific.
Alfred Darlow, head of the Union Pacific
advertising department, writes that In
designating the route to the Pacific coast
IL became necessary for passengers to sig
nifty by sea" or overland" hence the
term overland" was adopted for the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific lines.
The ocean route for the Pacific was te-
dious, circuitous, the impetuosity of the
mining population demanded quicker time
| for its mail, and il was not long before
the overland" route diverted all the
| transcontinental passenger traffic from the
route via Panama to the rail route via
| Ogden. Later Abraham Lincoln selected
this road as the natural route on which
| the mighty stream of commerce would
be borne and used the name overland

that after some vacancies occur in the

about next August Wood will be promo

The wonderful success of General Wood
in command at Cuba naturally suggests

Governor Taft in the Philippines. Perfect
accord between the military commander
and the civil government there is very de-
sirable and the two can doubtless work to-
