Mr.. Stockton's posthumous reputation

SILK CULTURE IN CHICAGO.
Worm Can Form Cocoon by Feeding
on Red Mulberries.

Silk dresses are in sight, for all Chi
cago girls who want them. The expert
ment of raising silkworms instituted in
May by Albert Labarthe, has proved
practical success. Already many thou
sand yards of genuine Chicago silk have
been reeled off the cocoons by Mr.. La
barthe. He will during the next day OF
TWO send the remaining cocoons to the
agricultural department al Washington,
which supplied him with the eggs, for
an official test Of the quality Of the silk.
Inc point of this experiment" said
Mr.. Labarthe yesterday. does not lie in
the proof that the siikwOrm can form
his cocoon in the United States as read

fact that he can do so after being fed

White mulberry is. of course, better food
than the red. But it is not absolutely

THE chief requisite of silk raising is
the necessity for sedulous care. The

Mr.. l-abarthe the price of silk will
certainly be much lessened"
Mr. Labarthe did not care to make
an estimate as to the probable cost OF
SILK under these conditions. 1t would
be cheaper, he said. He spoke in a
way which suggested that the wornan's

BOSS. can you tell me If a Christian
family lives here? BY the looks OF
things they do, but I'm not sure and

Mr. Bowser had no reply.

opened the gate, then l want to say

Boss was still silent, but had that
tramp been a student of character he
would have been warned by the twitch-

had reached the danger point.

That was all he said about the mill

him and played horse with him, and
when he got out of the yard and
around the corner he didn't have
breath enough left to tell policeman
whether he had been run over by an
ice wagon or knocked sxy-high by a
sewer explosion.
THE ICE MAN IS SURPRISED.
The next caller was the ice man. His
wagon ratified up in a jovial way, and
he seized chunk of ice and gaily bore
it to the ba sement door and yelled
'I-e-e!' at the top of his voice. His
yell was still echoing among the house
tops when Mr.. Bowser appeared before
him and asked:
How much does that chunk weigh?''
Twenty-Five pounds, of course"

you for twenty-five pounds daily, but

The chunk weighed nineteen pounds,
and after a little mental figuring Mr..
Bowser observed:

bill for shortage. and don't try any
more hocus-pocus here"

looked Mr.. BOWser over and concluded
to make up the shortage and take it out
