ASKING QUESTIONS.
The Art of Interrogation Should BE
Devoid of Impertinence.

The Art of Interrogation should Be
Devoid of Impertinence.
"Do not ask questions is the worst
piece of social advice which age can
give to youth. A man who never asks
questions is the dullest fellow in the
world. He had better ask too many
than too few. We can defend ourselves
against curiosity, but no armor avails
against Indifference. We must resign
ourselves to be bored to death.
What is the secret of the art of in
terrogation? Putting aside quick sym.
pathies, which lie at the root of every
social art, we believe the most essen
tial quality for those who would excel
in it is directness. The art of asking
questions so as to learn, instruct, please
and influence is not the art of beating
offend and silence are the questions
which suggest some Interior motive. 1t
is found out scheme which makes
men angry. Anything of the nature
Of trap keeps us on our guard. If
we once fall into one we resolve it
shall be the last time. Suspicion kills
confidence Interrogative hints are ut
terly useless. The average man does
not dislike to be questioned. He hates
to be startled, crossed, interfered with,
reproached, wearied or betrayed. He
hates the questions which are not ask
ed with a simple intention.
There are questions which are asked
not because the asker wants to know,
but because he intends to tell. Others.
while ostensibly directed to find out
mans opinion. are really intended to
reflect upon his character. Some men
inquire as to their neighbors' projects
in order to put difficulties in their way.
Strings of meaningless questions are
poured out by those who desire to pre-
tend an interest in some subject which
they neither know nor care anything
about
We believe the conclusion of the mat
ter to be this: The art of interrogation
is a serious branch of the social art.
Well asked questions are of the essence
of agreeable intercourse. but the in
terrogative mood will not justify an
impertinence an interference, verbal
assault-nor. for the matter of that, q

THE GENTLEMAN BURGLAR,
He Can Exist Only In Fiction. Never
In Real Life.

Whenever a thief who is dressed 9th
erwise than in rags falls into the po-
lice net there are chrOnicled the adven-
lures of a gentleman burglar"
Such a being is, of course, impossi-
BILE. He is q literary creation. like the
Invisible Man." the Frankenstein
monster, Kipling's Mowgli and the rest
of the crew of prodigies that dwell
within book covers.
AS character in fiction the gentle
man burglar could be made plausible
and picturesque, for when we get into
the realm of fancy there is an implied
contract that the reader shall accept
the authors premises and not bother
about possibilities.
A burglar is just thief-about the
meancst of thieves.
To man endowed with qualities of
refinement and considera ton of 9TH
ers and honor-whch are the attri-
butcs of q gentleman--burglar or other
theft is impossible. The pride Of such
man, his regard for his own opinion
of himself, would prevent his sneak
ing into another mans house and tax
ing his plate or his wife's jpwelry
Then it must be remembered that the
burglar is prepared to do murder to
accomplish his robberies. and the idea
of gentleman committing murder for
gain is 100 inconsistent even for fic-
ton.
y gentleman burglar is a contra
diction of terms, like Il brave coward
or tall pygmy. He may be better
dressed or his booty may be larger than
that of most burglars, but when it is
all summed up he is thief-just
plain thief-with the moral code and
impulses of Il picllpocket or card
swindler or any other predatory crea-
ture whose natural home is a prison
and whose deserved and fitting raj
ment is suit Of stripes.-New York

Grace LII Old EOresfs

Some trees are more graceful than
others. The elm and oak are noted for
their perfect and graceful form. All
their branches appear to be perpetually
moving, stirred by every wind that
blows, and the same may be said Of
the pine. The graceful movements Of
its limbs, the signing sounds of it's
stems and evergreen needles. send forth
a solemn symphony. Everything con-
tributes serene grace and simplicity to

sut Better in Quality in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, While
Montana, Washington and Idaho
Produce More Than Last Year.

A preliminary estimate of this
years wheat crop in Montana is
2,7S4,327 bushels, which is a larg 81
total production than that for 1902
The estimate is made by the officials
at Washington, who have sent cir
culars to the agricultural bureaus
OF the various wheat-raising states
But not all the wheat states show
an increase. The estimate of Min.
nesota's wheat crop is 7O,652,5yI
bushels, which is about 100000
bushels less than the actual crop of
last year. The 1903 crop in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas, combined, is
177,125,615. This total is 9,472,O63
bushels less than the crop in those
three states last year.
The appearances now are that
Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota have produced crop of fine
quality, but little below last years
crop in quantity . This statement
does not apply to South Dakota.
In that state the wheat production
is estimated to be 4S,622,646 bush
els; last years crop was only 49,
973,033. This years production in
North Dakota is placed at $780,
372 bushels as against 62,S72,241
bushels last year.
The northern tier Of states be-
tween Minnesota and Puget sound,
including Oregon and South Dakota
have turned out wheat harvest
this year apparently only about
II 100000 bushels smaller than the
aggregate crop of those states last
year. The crops of Minnesota. North
Dakota and Oregon are smaller,
and Idaho are larger than last year.
The estimate for Idaho's spring
wheat crop is 3.90S.O42 bushels. Or
egon's crop of wheat for the year
amounts to 13,516.696 bushels, and
Washinetons total crop is 25,509,-
900. This is only a preliminary
estimate, and according to George
X. Holmes. the statistical expert, in
charge of the domestic crop reports
of the agricultural department, the
final report generally shows mater
ial increase in the total crop. There
fore if the final figures give small
increase in the actual production in
Minnesota. North Dakota and Ore
gon over the preliminary estimate,
the total crop for the whole group
of states will he fully up to the pro-
duction Of 1902.
In Montana a larger area was
sown in wheat this year than in 1902
while in Minnesota and South Da-
kota a smaller area for wheat grow
ing was used. In Montana the yield
per acre WIS about the same; in
Minnesota the yield per acre was
less as If also was in North Dako-
ia, but the yield was considerably
laroer in South Dakota.
The whole wheat crop for Monta-
ma. Minnesota. North Dakota, and
South Dakota. Idaho. Oregon and
WASHINGTON. is placed this year at
222 902 $50 bushels. Last year it was
234, 159 ,429 bushels.

CATCHING THE OCTOPUS.
Acetylene Lamp Is Used with Great
Success by Mediterranean
Fi&lcrmen.

The octopus is such a peculiarly re-
p%ulsive looking creature that it would
not seem calculated to appeal as an
article of food eve to a hungry man;
but the Italians have no prejudice
against the fish, and they eat it with
out question. In a consular report
on the trade of southern Italy for
1902, an interesting account is given
| of the method of capturing the octo-
pus in the Mediterranean. At the
end of a long b~amboo-pole is hung a
line baited with a piece of red rag;
and this, dangled in front of the
rocky ~hiding-places of the octopus, is
| sufficient TO tempt him from his lair.
In his efforts to get nea the bait the
creature is enticed towards the boat,
in which the fisherman awaits him,
armed with a trident, and at the
right moment the octopus is impaled
on it's spikes. By night a bright
light is used to attract the prey, and
this in past times would take the form
of an iron cradle full of resinous
pine, which was carried at the head
OF II DOdJ. Dul SCIclC6 has SlSppGu
in, and the fishermen now employ an
actylene lamp, which seems to be as
attractive to the octopus as a red rag.
Unusually large catches have been
made since this form of light was
adopted; and, although its pioneers
tried to keep it secret, they did not
succeed in doing so, and now SO
many octopods are being caught thai
the consul general is of opinion that
the coast<w vii be overfished. That,
howeverfAs not likely to be the case
for the hetopus comes of a very pro-
life racs4

SIX DAY BIKE RACE.
Leading Teams Are So Far Doing
Even Work.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Enthusiasm
reached a tremendous pitch in the six
day bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden here when the representatives
of favorite teams put on every ounce
in an effort both to gain the lead and
to reach the record, which they were
still four miles behind.
There was a wild burst of excitement
when Il. +. Root gained q lap. His
triumph was short lived, however, for
hardly had the plaudits of the crowd
died out before the judges decided not
to allow Roots gain, because, as they
announced, he had secured it through
the pace of Jimmy Bowler of the Chi
cage team, who, contrary to the rules
of the grind, was on the track at the
same time for his team mate, Fisher.
The crowd, which was wrought up
to a high pitch by Roots thrilling ride,
received the decision of the officials
with hooting.
The hot chase after Root was excit-
ing in the extreme and brought the en-
tire crowd to its feet. Bunched so
closely that a blanket would have COW
cred them, Johnny Bedell, Bobby Wal
thour and Fisher went after the
speedy Root on the back stretch in
their efforts to best one another. The
trio came to grief and went down in a
smash.
There was a cry of anxiety as the
trainers rushed to the spot. Each of
the three riders was damaged but
slightly, however, and none of them
left the track.
The four leading teams were Lean
der and Butler, Walthour and Munroe,
Floyd Krebs and Peterson and New
kirk and jacobson, with a score of 366
miles 1 lap each.
