Arrangements which have been

it is said the exodus will take place

the plan to your correspondent.

we have had such sad experiences Of
having been driven from pillar to

it necessary to become citizens of a

of the United States army, will be our
agent in America. Through him we
mean to obtain about 100000 acres

The man who undertook to cross the
continent "on the hurricane-decko of a
donkey" and earn his expenses as he
went, was sure to have experiences
worth something to himself, if not to
anyone else. He had photographs
made of himself and the donkey. These
he sold for 25 cents each. At Yonkers
his purse was light, and his bills were
heavy, relates Youths Companion.
Il resolved to rise at dawn and sell
enough pictures to pay my bills, it l

for Is cents, but the reduction in price
did not interest him.
"'I want not picture at any price!'
he declared.
"'I Lack Is cents of the amount of my

THE NEW TOMATO TREE.
Singular Specimen That Has Been
PrOpagated from the Vines
Bears Fruit.

If one would be considered quite
sane one should not discuss the tree
tomato even yet. Otherwise one is
likely to be reasoned with gently,
and informed that tomatoes grow on
vines instead of trees, says the Phil
adelphia Record.
All this to the contrary notwith-
standing, there really is a tree toma-
to. Such tree is grown by Mrs. Shep-
herd, at Ventura, Cal. She has
grown it several years, and feels that
it has great future as "a fruit for
shipping. It comes into bearing along
during the holidays, when fruits are
scarce, and ships long distances per-
fectly. Some say it is practically
hardy in California. This tree, how
ever, grows under glass.
AS to the fruit, there seems to be
no understanding. Some call this rich,
tomato-tinted production fruit; 9th
ers tomato, which is equivalent to a
vegetable. AS to favors, it is said
to be cross between the tomato and
the plum, and is equally delicious as
salad or a dessert. Experts think
the day is not far off when it will be
extensively grown. One good speci-
men, and about the easiest to get at
here in the east, is the one in the
Bronx botanical collection in New
York. For some time past this tree
has hung full of these rosy, plum
shaped fruits, or vegetables, which
hang singly or in clusters of two or
three or four.

BIG GAMBLING PROFITS.
Man Who Controls Game in 4 Mexi-
can State Makes Two Million
Dollars a Year.

Did you ever hear of the "man who
broke the bank of Camanea?"
Possibly not. as the Camanea
gambling resort has not attained the
fame and prestige which is given to
Monte Carlo. The bank is there,
and it equals, if it does not exceed,
it's better-known rival in the domain
of the prince of Monaco, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Frank L. Proctor is the ruler of
this gambling territory. In extent it
is far greater than the territory of
the prince. It occupies an entire
state in Mexico. Frank Proctor has
absolute sway over the state of
Sonora. The government of Mexico
has given him a long term lease on
the gambling privileges.
Camanea is the richest and largest
mining camp in Mexico. 1t is in the
center of Proctor's gambling princl-
pality. Not many years ago Proc
tor, now prince of Camanea, was a
cowboy in Arizona, not extremely
well fixed in this worlds goods.
Not many years ago w. c. Green
married a daughter of Proctor and
afterwards managed to attract some
eastern capital to mining schemes he
had on foot in Sonora. To-day he
owns a S30,oO0,0oo copper mine.
Through Green Proctor was pro-
vided with the gambling privilege in
the state. The concession gives him
the income OF multimillionaire.
Over the gambling tables at Ca
manea it is said that $4,000 passes
every night. Some days the total
amount has run up to 100000. 1t re-

STEAMBOAT AUTHORITY.
r.r,rv phraaeOloRy of the Cap

Wishes to Interiors.

Authority on board of steamboat
is an interesting study. 1t runs on
sliding scale, but, unlike the gamut'
it slides only one way. This is bad for
the lower &c" on the steamboat, but
he has to stand it. A good illustration
of how the thing works was gwen not
long ago in a boat on the Delaware,
saws London Tit-Bits.
The captain Of a steamboat was try
ing to make landing at the dock, but
the operation was attended with some
difficulty. A line from the bow had
been run out and made fast to post,
but the vessels sterE was swinging on
into the stream. The skipper, with
scowl on his brow, stood on the bridge,
abaft the wheelhouse, and stared at
the first mate, who was hustllng
around on the hurricane-roof amid
ships Down below on the quarter
deck the second mate was helping the
third mate and deck-hand to take the
turns out of the stern line, which was
snarled up on deck instead OF being
fast on the dock.
"Mr. Olsen," said the captain, in
gentlemanly tone of voice, to the first
mate, ''why in thunder don't you get
that line out, you long, lean, lank,
knock-kneed, tar-stained wreck OF re-
turning reason? Don't you see we're
swinging OFF,"
aye, aye, sir,' Mr.. Olsen replied,
respectfully, touching his cap to the
skipper.
Then Mr.. Olsen leaned far over the
rail, and, raising his voice, he called
the second mates attention to mat
ter of very great Importance.
''Mr. Peterson!" ne yelled. whats
eating you, you tow-headed, block
eyed lubber? Do you want to choke
the stream? Get a move on you, and
be quick about It'll"
"Aye, aye, sir" was Mr.. Peterson's
response to the delicate attention re-
ceived from his superior He then gave
the third mate some instructions.
Swanson" he gently but firmly re-
marked, "I'll crack your blooming
skull if you don't move yourself, you
gaunt-eyed, bow-legged, stock-fish
feeder. Bear hand there. Lively
now, and get that line out"
AYE, aye, SIR" said Swanson, in a
humble voice.
Then Swanson give the deck-hand,
who gets e3 month, clout on
the side of the head that knocked him
spinning. Then he shouted: "Why
in the name of the other place don't
you pay out that stern line, you
low-lived, white-livered, mule-eared,
hog-backed, slab-sided, bench-legged,
feeble-minded chicken robber? What
are we paying you for?" And he
finished the unfortunate man with
kick in the ribs.
The deck-hand ran the line out and.
made the boat fast. Then he went
down in the hold, where he anointed
his person and dubbed himself with
handspike.

Waudby, in an article on "Child La

canal, the size of ships that can pass the
Suez canal, the cost OF coal along the
route and the distance, says the En-
gineering Magazine.
Tolls may be abolished, but this is
not likely. 1t will take years to deep
en- the canal if this project should be
advocated. The cost of coal along
the route, as well as the distance,
will always be a serious drawback.
There is abundant and cheap coal in
Great Britain, on the Atlantic sea-
board, at Puget sound, and all along
the line of the northern roads, and
there are an unlimited number of
empty freight cars west bound. BY
building the largest ships in the
world, even though they run under
the more expensive American regis
ter, by filling the west-bound cars at
a rate little more than cost of hand

AN OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER,
A Much-Loved Familiar Figure That
Will Abide in History
Forever,

"Where is the old-fashioned mother
who, with her innumerable duties,
found time to devote to her children;
who felt that they were intrusted to
her for brief time only; that they,
IN turn. were to be history-1nakers and
that she was responsible for their
early training; who was mother, sister
friend?" Thus walls a jeremiah of
the press, bemoaning the substitution
OF hired nurses for maternal care and
attention, and continues: "Whence
will come the strong men and women
OF our nation if the mothers are to
fritter away the futures of their chill
dren at clubs and bridge whist and So
cial aspirations? The queen-mother
has abdicated the mightiest throne in
the world, that OF the nursery. for a
Kingdom for other than that where
righteousness rules"
To the oldfashioned mother the
mighty manhood of America doffs it's
hat. For the old-fashioned mother is
still with us, and to stay, declares Rob-
ert Webster Jones in the Housekeeper.
Modern science has brought many im-
provements that would make our an
cestors stare could they return to
earth, but one familiar figure they
would still find here; that of the OLD
fashioned mother. For she cannot be
improved upon. Before the mighty
mystery of motherhood man stands
hushed in awe; this silken cord of sis
terhood that binds the mothers of to-
day to those of all the ages. What
has been the mightiest power since
the world began? The mothers influ-
ence. And is it likely that at this late
hour the queens Of America would
willingly relinquish the jeweled scep-
ter for torch wherewith to chase
the will-o'-the-wisps of social delights?
But there are no fashions in mother
hood, so why speak of the, old-fash-
1oned motherhood? The dictators of
women's wardrobes who send forth
their royal commands from season to
season issue no such bulletins of ad-
vance styles as these: 1.-The correct thing
for mothers this winter is to be seen
frequently with their children in pub
lie. The latest fashionable fad is for
mothers to kiss their children on bid
ding them goodnight" Or: ''1'he new
