THE MOTORMAN'S GRAFT.
Finding Money that Had Been Drop.
 ped by Conductor or Passengers.


 'There is standing joke about the street railway conductors who knock down money" said q motorman yester- day. who works on the Woodward ave- nue line, but have you ever noticed that the motormen are the boys who pick it up?"
 Summer is our harvest time. and can tell you that some Of the men at the front end of the cars make good finds. You see. with the open cars in commission there seems to be more of chance for people to drop coins while getting in or out. There is no snow on the ground to hide the money, and the sharp eyes of the motorman don't let much of it get away.
 Il know one man who put all the mo- ney he found last year into a box, and when he opened it he had $13 Generally the coins lie close to the rail, sometimes right on it, and it doesn't take long to stop the car and run back and make the pickup. Of course, if We are away behind time we have to run by. but I have done that and picked up the money on the return trip.
 T suppose some of this was dropped " conductors. but that doesn't make any difference with us. We can spend it as well as anyone else. I tell you. it is great graft for us in the summer time, but a fellow has to be careful. if he keeps his eyes glue. to the rail. he may run into q wagon or truck. or something of the kind, and then may be hell lose his job. No $13 a year would make up for that, you know''- Detroit Free Press.

PARAFFINE OIL co
President Bailey Confident Oil Will Be
 Found.

MT. and Mrs. Alonzo Bailey and their daughters. Misses Wynette, Edith and Gertrude. spent Friday and Satur- cay in Phoenix en route from their hon=e in Glohe to their home in Los Angeles. leaving for the latter place on this mornings s. r. P. X P. train.
 Mir. Bailey is one of the early pio- neers of Arizona, Globe having been his home since ths youthful days of that prosperous mining camp till recent years when the family moved to Los Angeles that the daughters might have better educational advantages. But aside from the mercantile enterprises with which he was formerly associated MT. Bailey still retains his business interests in Arizona, is still looked up- on by the Globe people as one oi their substantial business men, and still calls Globe lis home
 The enterprise in whlch he is now most interested. at least the one in which the public is also most inter- eted, is that of the Paraffine Oil com pany, which for a year past, has been actively engaged in sinking for oil in the so-called Paraffine oil district east of Florence. Mb Bailey is president OI lllS dHO " liIlt 1l!EIlls5 that it is costing soma good money for what is yet oEly an experiment he also appreciates that nothing cen be gained without a venture and believes the stakes are worth playing for.
 The oil well is now down over 1900 feet and the indications are decidedly encoura ging. more so in fact than at any previous time and there will be na  satisfying test at least has been made At present depth sinking was stopped fer the reason that q flow 0. water was encountered, in such volume that il was evident that were oil found be- low il could not be successfully brought to the surface. Casing was therefore ordered and is now being put in. Two shell strata have been passed through which with other formations are highly encouraging and the driller thinks that oil will be found within another hum dred feet. One of the strongest indi- cations is the vast amount of gas now coming from the we'll In putting down the casing it was discovered that near the bottom of the hole a slight turn had been made and in order to get the casing in properly it would be necessary to enlarge the hole there. This could not be done by using matches in blasting for the reason that the gas is so strong it would be dan gerous to use matches CT other form of fire. The work. therefore. is pro- gressing slowly but progressing never theless and when the casing is in. bulletins of the striking of a good sup ply of oil in the Paraftine district will be highly in order ard eXpectantly watched for.

INSANITY IN ENGLAND.

An enormous increase in the number of insane in England and Wales is noted. In 1859 the total number Of in sane was 36.162, or one in every 536. On J&nuary l, 1903. the number had risen to 113.964, or one in every 293. The rate of increase has been greatest since 1894, the leap being from 92,O67. In 1902 the increase over 1901 was 3.251. The total number of insane cases in 1902 was 22- 5S1-oVer 400 q week Of the increase over the preceding year 1SS were pri- Nate, IS criminal and 3,015 pauper. The proportion of private cases is about the same now as in 1859, but the p2uper rate has doubled. To drink is attributed 9 per cent of the male cases and 9.6 of the female. To heredity is attributed l8.S per cent of the male cases and 24.6 of the female.

PAJAMAS FOR THE NAVY.

It rests with Admiral Taylor tc de- eide whether the enlisted men of the navy shall replace their night shirts with pajamas-a novel kind of fight ing gear" which Paul Jones or Farra- gut would have eyed askance. But the Hindoo sleeping garments are conquer ing the Western world because of their comfort. They have one military ad- vantage, that soldiers clad in them are prepared for the night surprises ot war. The sculptor in the interests of accur- acy would have to represent the Victors of Santiago in such attire. PerhaSs it is due to the acquaintance then made with their merits that the recommen- da ton of their adoption is urged.

ALL HE WAS WORTH.
He Was Willing That Waiter Should
 Keep the Change.

One of the stock stories about tipping Is that of the waiter in q swell hotel sneering at q quarter, and remarking to the giver: "I beg pardon; haven't t you made q mistake?"
 A few nights ago, in the main dining room of the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York. where tips range from q quarter to 5, q Westerner noU John Watch Me Gates this time) said to his two com panions: Watch me paralyze this waiter; he aln't worth cuss. He has mt showed us any extra attention and doesn't deserve a cent, but here goes. The bill being paid and change being placed before him in a plate. he handed the waiter copper cent. As he eX- pected. garcon turned up his nose and said: Il beg pardon; haven't you made mistake?" Not at all,' was the re- ply; not at all. You are quite well come. I never give less" Waiter duly paralyzed.-New York Press.

tural states. The school has not taken hold on farm life. Plants, soils, ami mals, insects. flowers. the weather. the forests and the sky-from all these things It has stood apart, while ic has babbled of subjects unfamiliar and un- interesting to the country bred child. All rural education has been hacked and hewed to fit the Procrustean bed of the city model
 This is a severe indictment of our present methods. but it is not a whit too severe. To find proof you have only to examine the textbooks in use in our rural schools. Apparently they have been written solely for city child rer, sons and daughters Of clerks, mer- chants, bankers and traders They do not even suggest to the farmers child the possibilities of science and training in agricultural work. On the contrary the natural and logical inference from our general scheme of rural instruction is that education is not indispensa ble to the farmer: but is intended chiefly for the commercial and professional clasScS.--World's Work

HOW TESKE KEGEE HELPS THE
 SOUTH.

From the car windows of the South ern Railway system in going south from Washington, one is impressed with marks of a general improvement. Fences are in better state of repair than they were eight years ago when last visited Tuskegee. Barns are painted. Factories have ben built and they seem to be busy. Long freight trains on sidings with their variety of machinery and general merchandise confirm the impression. Nowhere else in the section, however, is there any sight more inspiring in its promise for the future of the South than this work at Tuskegee Institute. It is the object lesson for the section. It tells the peo- pie what they should do and shows them doing it. Every man and woman of the South, whatever his position in life or his complexion. must profit by contact with the burning intensity and the trained intelligence which marks the work of this little community. No statesman, whatever his prejudices, can leave the place after even a cursory examination of the work. without feel ing that the nation should be doing throughout the country what private philanthropy is doing at TuSkegee. No farmer can see the system and study the details in stock raising. dairying and general agriculture on most unre- sponsive soil without being a better man for the experience. Indeed the an- nUal conferences of the negro farmers are continued all the year round: for they come in for advice and other as sistancs whenever they find themselves confronted with agricultural or fiEan- cial problems.-From Vacation Days at Tuskegee," b5 John S. Durham. in August National Magazine.

THE FATHER OF 20 IS vEXED.
He Received no Check from the Presi- dent. but Countless Letters Came.

William Signet, of McKeesport. Pa, almost regrets that he named his twen- tieth child after President Roosevelt. -a letter was forwarded to the chief executive notifying him of the fact. and d reply was received similar to that sent to hundreds of proud parents who name their children after the pres ;dent This particular infant, however. gained unusual prominence because I story was printed that the president had sent check for S100 to the child.
