The story of an EnGIishman's At
tempt to Purchase 1t.
In his Souvenirs dun Voyage NJ.
Spoil describes a visit to Arabia and
the attempt of an English friend to
buy an Arabian horse. The Englishman
was at great pains to induce the Arab
who owned the horse to agree to sell
him. lie persuaded the man to make
an appointment to conclude the sale
after employing "as much diplomacy
as would be used in a year in making
or breaking the balance of power in
Europe"
On the eventful day the Englishman,
with NJ Spoil and NJ. Lascaris, rode to
the rendezvous and found the Arab sit
ting by his horse which was browsing
quietly
Las salam aleik" q salute you, be-
gan the Englishman cautiously. "What

"WhO knows?" said * the Arab

then 10000 more. The Arabs eyes

him. "Ah," he said, going up to his
magnificent animal, eve must part"
The Englishman began to bride the
horse. The Arab sObbed. Suddenly the
intelligent animal, perceiving his new
owner, sprang away and neighed
mOurnfully. No one could doubt that
lie knew what was going on.
With one bound the child of the des-
ert was in the saddle. "Adieuw he said

NEW CASTLE pRESBYrERY MEETING.
Presbyterian CIergymen Will Assemble in an
old Historic Church at Princess Anne,

Tuesday, April 81, the meeting of
the Presbyt of New Castle will be
opened in the Manokir Church, IN
Princess Anne at 7.30 a. IN. This old
church is one of four churches organic
ed by Francis Mackenzie about 1888.
The Rev. Thomas Wilson was pastor
from 1856 to 1898. The Rev. George
Macnish in 17O6 and the Rev. William
Stewart in 1719.
A record in the clerks Office says:
"At a court held at Dividing Greek,
which was the county seat of SOmer-
set until 1742, when Worcester county
was taken out of Somerset and Prin-
cess Anne made the county seat, on
the 18th day of March, 171S, the Rev.
William Stewart qualified himself as a
dissenting minister to preach IN the
meeting house at the head of Manokin, "
which proves there was church build
ing on the present site at that time.
From the same authority it is learned
that on August 10, 1923, Charles Bal
lard decided to the Rev. William Stew
art and other elders a piece of land
which is the site of the present church
and a church was built in 1865 at cost
of 5000. From that time the building
has been repaired and improved and &
tower added, but the brick walls are
/ the same.

CURIOUS QUESTION ABOUT
"CORN-WHEAT" ANSWERED
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT AT WASH
INGTON CORRECT FALSE IMPRESSION.
No Such Thing as COru.Wheat and 1t is Pro
babIe Such Hybrid Could Never Be Pro-
duced- Mistaken For Polish Wheat.

The department of Agriculture re-
port that enormous quantities of letters
are being received from farmers in all
parts of the country asking for inform
alton concerning a so called "cOrn-
wheat, usually at the same time re-
questing samples for trial.
These letters are the result of widely
publised newspaper reports. The de-
partment authorizes the statement
that there is no such thing as "cOrn
wheat, and that it is probable no
hybrid of corn and wheat could ever
be produced, or, at any rate one that
would be fertile The grain which
caused the newspaper publications,
the department says, is known correct
ly as Polish wheat, although it is not
native to Poland, as the name might
suggest, but its original home prObab-
| ly is somewhere in the mediterranean
region. The newspaper reports, the
department says, are correct in saying
/ ludl CuO uOdOo anu = alhS VI tu4o " HCol
are very large, the grains being in
many cases actually twice the size OF
ordinary wheat The statement that
it yields from sixty to one hundred
bushels is, however, probably consid-
erably exaggerated, though there may
be instances in Idaho and Washington
in which the yield may reach from six
ty to seventy-fve bushels an acre.
The experiments made by the Agricul
tural Department and by experiment
stations in few places show that the
yield is rather disappointing.
The wheat has been grown only ex
perimentally in this country, except il
few places. From experiments Sc
far made the inference wO1ld be tina
the grain would be good as a hog food
Polish wheat is much restricted in its
adaptation, and the department says
could not be successfully grown any
where east of the Mississippi River
but only in the great plains region, il
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
other parts of the mountain anC
Pacific States where grain is usually
grown. 1t has great resistance t,
drouth. The department has no see'
in stock.

A leading medic al journal deplores
the increased use of cocaine in the
United States and says large quanti-
ties are sold in the form of patent
medicines, particularly remedies for
catarrh. 1t cites an instance of a
single druggist who sold last year
$4,000 grains at profit of So, 100 and
says "the retail druggist, by dispens-
ing cocaine at tremendous profit, has
in many instances built up thriving
business on the wrecked lives of the
victim" The southern press is justly
indignant at the illiteracy figures
which are being published in some of
their northern contemporaries. For
instance, it is stated that in Massa-
chusetts there are but 1,547, while in
Alabama there are 66,O72 illiterate
children but no mention is made of the
fact that most of heilliterate Alabama
children are colored.

How Mr.. Roosevelt Lives and Work.

The young men of the country will
be entitled some time to know even
more than they have as yet been told
about the way in which President
Roosevelt accOmplishes so much and
yet keeps in prime order. His physi-
cal constitution was, of course, built
up, as everybody knows, years ago by
systematic exercise and much outdoor
life. His mental vigor would seem to
have been acquired by a somewhat
analogous method. The President
does not finch from the task in hand.
He has schooled himself to do the day s
work as it comes. He has acquired to
a marvellous degree the power of con-
centration and the habit of Ofdecisiveness.
He arranges his day well, is very ad-
stemious in eating and drinking, does
not allow himself to be cheated out of
a fair amount of exercise, does not rely
In the least upon stimulants or tobacco
and, perhaps above all, never tries to
surpass himself or to expend his re-
serve strength in the achievement of
something exceptional. With matters
of colossal Importance to attend to, he
simply does his best as he goes along,
deals with every problem that arises in
a simple, direct, and natural way, and
thus finds the day sufficient unto itself
He borrows no trouble. sleeps sOundly
meets the morrow refreshed and with
full courage. From "The Progress OF
the World, in the american Monthly
