In fact 1t will better his chances for that
assignment, as it is the policy of the de-

of major and above, rather than below.

THE CHICKEN PULLING RACE.

The chicken pulling race was an
interesting feature yesterday and
closed the afternoons program. This
was chicken pulling with all the bar
barity and cruelty eliminated. for In
stead of chicken being used as in
Mexican countries, little sack o.
dirt was partly buried in the ground,
enough being left sticking out to get
hold of. The riders were all Ute In
dams, and from the skill displayed II
was evident they were adopts at the
game. The ponies, too. appeared well
trained and seemed 10 understand
what was required Of them. There
were dozen entries, and one at time
rode and grabbed for the sack. To
one not used to this form of sport IL
seemed that a rider was in great dan
ger of falling under his horse as he
swung himself down TIL his hand
touched the ground with his horse on
n fast run. But the riders themselves
seemed utterly unconscious OF dan.
ger, and as each one passed the sack
in an effort to pull 1t from the hole,
he raised TO an upright position ap
parenily with as much ease as he had
lowered himself Finally one young
fellow, Victor Frost. who rode an nc
tive and trim pony. got good hold
and yanked the sack out. With a
concerted yell that in former days
would have made a mans blood run
cold, but which was now all in the
play. the other Indians all took after
him. They piled their quirts and dug
their spurs and the cayuscs presented
a picture in the chase such as Freder-
ick Remington would delight In. II
is part OF the game to overtake, II
possible, the one pulling the chicken
and take it away from him. Victor
Frost was oyertalien when a little

OUR TRADE WITH TURKEY.


For every hundred dollars worth OF
soods the United States buys from
turkey we are able TO sell that coun-
ry only about $3.50 worth. The ra-
10 OF purchases and sales holds good
lot only for our total trade with all
Turkish territories, but almost pre-
isely Tor the transactions with Turk
~ in Europe, Turkey in Asia and
turkey in Africa, separately consid-
cred.
In the last fiscal year our total pur-
:hases amounted to about $2l 900 200
II which just one half came from
turkey in Africa, that is, Egypt. Our
Total sales amounted to u little more
han $1.5OO.0O0. with agin just halt
going TO Egypt. the baiances against
rs are of course not settled in cash.
but made good by a transfer of our
1redits in other European countries.
The detailed hgures Tor the differ
INT commodities exported and import
ed last year are not yet made public,
out the government statistical bureau
furnishes figures for the preceding
year which show that cotton manufac-
cures, iron and steel manufactures, az
rlcultural implements and breadstufls
make up the bulk of our exports. On
he other side of the account we buy
/ couple OF million dollars worth OF
rugs and carpets, million dollars
worth of tobacco. and about the same
amount of goat skins from European
Turkey. From Asiatic Turkey licor-
ice root is the largest item OF our
imports, approaching a million dol
.ars. a year, while wool. opium, figs,
dates and raisins also come in good
quantities. Egypt's great product is
cotton, of which we took in 1902 49,.
800. 900 worth. with in addition more
than a million dollars of sugar and a
couple hundred thousand dollars oil
gum-arabic.
An interesting fact which shows the
difference between the methods OF
Turkey and this country in doing bus
mess is the discrepancy between the
statistics of the TWO countries for mu.
tual trade. AS against the 1000,

You are right, and the minister who

about his members, alive or dead,
will not occupy his pulpit more than
one Sunday, and then he will find it
necessary to leave town in a hurry.
fhe press and the pulpit go hand in
hand with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words magnifying little vir-

The report that the damage TO corn
is smaller than was feared is some
thing that will give pleasure 70 the
country. Corn is Americas imperial
crop 1t counts for more than cot
ton. wheat, hay or any of the country's
other big products. A reduction OF
the yieli, of course. might not mean
reduction in the amount which the
farmer would receive for II. 1t would
mean an advance in price which would
bring the cost up to higher point
for the consumer The present out
look is that the crop will go to the
., 1000, 000.bushel mark at least, and
that line has not been passed many
times A good corn crop would be a
vast benefit to the country, and the
chances still are that the yield will
be up to the average of the past few
years.
