be a month before you will be better
known than Queen Victoria. People
will come Il thousand miles to see this
two headed calf, and you'll have at
least FIVE offers Of marriage 4 day"
II want no offers OF marriage, and II
this calf is TO bring a lot Of people
around here asking questions III have
you XIII it right of"
But the widow wasn't in earnest in
what she said. She had been looking
out for an offer for the last five years,
and she liked nothing better than half
an hours gossip with tin peGdler or
a lightning rod man. As she Eazcd at
that two headed calf. who tried to re-
turn her gaze with his four eyes at
once she saw possibilities In the fu-
ture and returned to the house with a
smiling couutCnance.
Before noon every farmer for five
miles around had heard OF the living
curiosity and visited the farm; within
two days half the people In the county
had taken view and ouEratulated the
widow. Tho matter got Into the local
paper and was repubIIshcd far and
wide, and most Of the papers wound
up the two headed tale by saying:
1--WE understand that the widow
Thompson is well preserved, intelli-
gent woman Of forty, and there are
rumors that she may assume the bonds
Of matrimony again at no distant
date"
People camc by the hundreds. as Job
had predicted, and letters came by the
score But the offers Of marriage
didn't accompany them. In her secret
heart the widow had determined that
that calf should bring her a husband
Being Il two headed calf he ought TO
bring h"r two offers, and she would
take her choice,
Peddlcrs, lightning rod men, sewing
machine agents and prospectors for
natural gas looked over the fence at
that calf and offered n price, but their
figures were not accepted. Purchasing
agents for siucshOws, museums and
circuses viewed the curiosity from
every side and made liberal offers, but
went away disappointed. None Of
them had the good luck to discover
that the widow and the calf were one
and indivisible, that where the two
heads went the widows hand and
heart followed. If any of them had a
dim suspicion, he was barred out by
having wife already on his hands.

ASKS MILITARY RECORD
OF CAPT. D. J. GILAER
Negro Volunteer May Be Appointed to
the Regular Army.

The War Department has cabled the
commander Of the army in the Philip
pines for the military record of Capt
David J. GiImer. {. s. V. with the view
Of his appointment to the army as lieu
tenant % scouts.
Captain GiImer is a negro officer, and
his appointment is being urged by Sen
ator Pritchard of North Carolina. The
Senator has made former efforts to pro-
mote Captain Gilmer from the ranks
of the volunteers, and it has caused
much comment in army and civil circles.
The age limit between which civilians
may be appointed TO the regular army
is twenty-one to twenty-seveD, and for
those who have served in volunteer
ranks the limit is thirty years. 1t is
said that Captain GiImer has reached
that age. which makes him Ineligible
as an officer in the regulars.

UNCLE sam PROMINENT
AS UNIVERSAL PR0YIDER
Serious Competitor of Old
World Nations.
Mr.. EM0RY'S ANNUAL REVIEW
Progress Unexpectedly Rapid and
Widespread Noted in Reports of
United States Ccnsuls.

In his annual review Of the foreign
commerce of the United States. pub
Iishcd by the State Department today,
Frederick Emory, chief OF che Bureau
OF Foreign Commerce. says that the an
nuaI reports OF consular officers for 1903
afford substantial ground for eucour-
agemeHt as TO the permanence OF the ex-
port movement in manufactured goods.
The pre-aminence OF the United
States. continues Dir. Emory. "as a
universal proyider OF food stufs aud
raw materials has long been estab-
lished. but # was only a few yesrs ago
that we became O serious competitor OF
the older Industrial nations in the
worlds markets IN the sale OF factory
products Our progress Was Unexpected
~ rapid and widespread, and its phe-
nomenaI character caused conservative
observers 10 apprehend that il might
prove TO be but temporary and limited
10 periods OF overpr0dlction resulting
from a more or Iess sluggish home de-
mand. This theory found strong con
drmation in the falling of IN exports IN
manufactures In 1901. which followed
close on the extraordinary increase Of
industrial activity in the United states
and the consequent osmaHd for iron
and steel and for many other articles
We had previously been exporting on q
steadily rising scale"
Mr.. Emory says. the economic move
meut which has characterized the recent
industrial development of the United
States IN the creating OF vast consoli-
cations Of capital, with the resulting
augmentation OF productive energy,
promises. at no distant day. 10 out
strip any possible growth Of domestic
consumption. WheR such overpToduc-
ton occurs. the result viii be the same
as if our prosperity were checked and
the home market were again stagnant.
In other words. We shall probably in
any case, have a large surplus Of manu-
featured goods which We must export.
American goods are still gaining ground
abroad. Mr.. Emory says, and some new.
territory has been gained. He predicts
a more strenuous trade rivalry between
the United States and Germany and
Great Britain
Mr.. Emory directs attention 10 The
fact that the United States is not only
exporting manufactured products, but
it Is also sending abroad its capital
and even skilled labor American in
vestments in Mexico alone aggregate
$500. 9o0. 00e and consuls report from
other countries similar, il not so great,
outlays of American money IN manu-
featuring plants, mines, agriculture,
and other pursuits. He considers the
United States consular service one Of the
mos. potent factors in the extension OF
our trade relations with foreign coun-
tries. Many letters have been re-
cciyed by the state Department from
trade interests thus benefited, warmly
praising the york Of cur c0nsuIs-
