TIE INDISPENSABLE FARMER.

TheAmarican farmer is the wealthlesi
person in the world In 1900, according
to the census, the value of his products
was sl,739, 11S, 900. This year their value
will be in excess Of 5000, 0OO 900. The
farmers of the United States employ
over nine million persons and pay out
in wages every year over $SO0,OO009Q.
Not only is the American farmer the
wealthiest, but he is also much the most
important person in the world. The
railroads, employing over 100000 peo-
ple, depend largely upon him for their
traffic. Thousands of ships, flying the
flag of every civilized nation, draw their
earnings from the business given by the
American farmer. The king Of Eng
land, the Emporer of Germany or the
czar of Russia may die, and the COM
merce of The world will go on as be-
fore ard even the working classes in

MEMORIES OF A HUNDRED YEARS
Men. Life of the Oldest Life Insur-
ance Policy-hoIder in the World.

Charles Henry Booth, Of Engle-
wood is just at present attracting
widespread attention through the
fact of his having reached his hun
dreth birthday this month and be-
cause of his unique position, not
only as the Oldest man who has
ever held an insurance policy in
this country, but also as the Oldest
living policy-holder in the world. Ex-
tensive foreign correspondence carried
on by The Mutual Life of New York,
in which Company he holds his policy,
has established this record which
confers upon him the title of senior of
all the millions of insured both at
home and abroad The second of
these noteworthy men is Charles g..
lockwood, of Newark, who also, like
Mr.. Booth, insured in The Mutual
during it's first year; the third is Will
lam E. Shepard, of Englewood, who
has the distinction of holding the
Oldest policy in the United States,
No. I in The Mutual Life.
Charles HI. Booth, of Englewood,
was born in Stratford, Conn.,, Sept
ember Ii, 1903, when Thomas Jeffer-
son was President of the United
States. When little more than boy
he came to New York to seek his
fortune, and entered wholesale dry
goods house. Success so crowned his
labors that ere long he became junior
clerk in the business and was finally
admitted into the firm. Continuing
to work his way upward he attained
at last the senior partnership of the
house, the firm then being known
under the name of Booth & futile,
later Booth 8 Company. AS the
business grew it was transferred from
it's original location in Cedar street,
on property now owned by The Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of New
York, to Broadway and Canal, and
finally to Murray, near Chambers
street. Mr.. Booth remained in active
business until about his SEVENTEEN
year when here tired to his comfort
able home at Englewood, where he
has ever since lived in good health
and spirits.
Though belonging to no secret
societies or political clubs, Mr.. Booth
has always followed the political
struggle with interest, first as a
Wing and later as a Republican on
the organization of that party. He
has never missed an election, having
voted for every President since Madi-
son; that is, for all but three. This
seems incredible until one considers
that Washington himself had been
dead only four years when Mr.. Booth
was born-a fact that seems to put

The Maltese MIX Goat.

A company is being formed in Nal
den, Mass, to establish Maltese goat
milk dairy and sanitarium. 1t is COM
posed of leading physicians, who want
the milk as a remedy for malnutrition
and pulmonary diseases, together with
business men, who are In 1t for the
profits. They intend to test it by pur
chasing goats enough to prove its mer-
its. The Maltese goat, like all others,
is naturally browser and not graz
err. He lives on leaves and branches
which die for want of nourishment and
converts waste and unproductive lands
into fertile pastures. A gentleman re-
ports the increased value of his 600
acres of land by the use of herd of
goats as being 10 cents an acre. The
Maltese goat has no offensive odor Pc
culiar to the male common goat. The
milk has no peculiar flavor. 1t resen-

His career has covered that of
hundreds, one might almost say of
thousands of famous men and women.
Dickens, Thackeray, Tennyson, Long

many others have all been born,
lived out their lives and died while he
has still been going his appointed way

aged, often reverts to the distant
past and he speaks of Clay and Web

agitation as if it still formed part of
our modern social problem. He was,
in fact, fervent abolitionist, be-
longing to the Rev. DR.. Cox's church,
an organization at that time famous
for it's radical views. Slavery and
strong drink were, in Mr.. Booths
opinion, the two greatest evils that
have. ever menaced our country, and
he is happy to have outlived the one
and to have seen the birth of a strong
sentiment against the other
