A PhiIanthrOpisf.

AS he stepped out of the theater he
stopped to light cigarette, and at the
same moment heard himself address
ed, says the New York Times.
If We please. sir, gimme something
fer me little brother an sister; they're
home, cold an hungry, an we, amt
got no parents"
He turned and saw a diminutive girl,
about ~ years old. He had seen the
girl before, and had watched her play
the same game, and had heard her tell
the same story to people outside the
theaters several times, and knew 1t all
for a fake.
He walked on.
Jest think; no parents-ain't it aw-
full. sir? Them little children!" She was
keeping pace with him.
60 home" he said, not unkindly,
do you want to be arrested for beg
ging? Go home"
How kin / go home with nuthin' fer
the kids. All! if they only had some
parents to look after EN-! But deTe's
only me.
He put his hand in his pocket.
The child FASTENED to clinch matters
With the old, tiresome wall:
Jest to think, sir; no parents"
The hand emerged from the pocket,
and in it was dollar bill.
Here, little girl" he said, Il
oughtn't to give you this, but what you
have told me touches my heart. Take
this-and buy them some parents"

This incident from the Saturday Ev-
ening Post illustrates the thrift which
has always been present in all trans
actions made by Russell Sage;
A prominent New York financier
says that recently, while on a tour of
inspection over the Missouri Pacific
system, President Gould took great
pride in pointing out to Russell Sage
the late improvements in equipment,
and various new and ingenious devices
and attachments. Among the latter
Mr.. Gould was especially pleased to
show to Mr.. Sage a certain device by
which there is registered the speed Of
a train. The device in question re-
sembled a steam gauge, and was con-
nected with an axle, so that the point
err registered the number of revolu-
tions every minute.
Mr.. Sage examined the device with
great interest. Then, after a moments
pause, he looked up at Mr. Gould and
asked with the greatest solemnity:
Does it earn anything?"
"No, / think not" answered the
president of the system smilingly.
Does it save anything?"
mo"
'"Then," concluded Mr.. Sage. decid-
edly, II would not have IL on my carl"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Wilmington IN. CT Star (Dem.)
says: 1T is said that Roosevelt is
going to manage his own campaign.
AS he has learned great deal about
the graft propensities of his Republi-
can eonfreres, this will place him in
a better position to look after the box
Office receipts"
The Mobile Register (Dem.) says:
Hearst sweeps Iowa; but let him
sweep some state that is going to cast
it's electoral vote for the Democratic
candidate. That will mean business,
Iowa is so hopelessly Republican that
the Democrats of that state do not
care much whom they indorse."
The Houston Post CDem.) says:
Texas Democrats should not be
drawn into any controversy involving
Mr.. Bryan's personal antipathies or
wishes. We are, after all, chiefly con-
cerned in winning a victory. New
York has responded to the desire of
the party by putting forth a candi-
date who can carry the state. We
believe that If we can carry New
York we can win a sufficient number
West, which, added 10 the vote of the
solid South. win bring victory"
The Brooklyn Eagle (Dern.) says:
1.-The Waterbury American surrnises
that MIR. Cleveland's auickness to deny
that he invited colored people to his
table may be due to the fact that
he lives in Princeton, that Woodrow
Wilson lives there and that Woodrow
Wilson was born ia North Carolina.
Well. one reason why Mr.. Cleveland
denied the report was that the report
was untrue. Another reason why he
denied Il was that II was put forth by
those who knew IL was untrue. There
are other reasons. but these should be
enough"

THE LAND, NOT THE SEED.

A correspondent writing from States
boro. Ga. relative to the statement OF
Daniel J. Sully, that cotton seed is
much attention 10 the subject Of the
decrease in the yield of cotton per
| acre, and has come TO the conclusion
| that the cause of the decrease is not
! the deterioration of seed but of the
! land. He points out that it has only
been a few years since the farmers be-
gan selling their seed, and that prior
to that time it went back on the land,
! and helped to keep II in a fertile con-
| dition.
| Now about the only thing the great
majority of farmers use to keep up the
commercial fertilizer-10O to 200 pounds
per acre. Cotton is planted on the
same land year after year, and the
! consequence is that there is little cot
ton plant food left in it. 1t is not
at all strange therefore that the yield
of Gotten per acre is slowly falling
off.
Some time ago we called attention to
the fact that owing to the high price
of cotton the farmers were gradually
abandoning the divisified system of
farming which had gained so much
Roadway during the last few years, and
that if the price of cotton continued
high farmers would soon be giving
their whole attention to cotton. We
condemned of course the abandonment
of the diversified system because it
means a return to poverty.
The farmer, in order to be prosper
Gus, must keep his land rich. There
are various ways of doing that, but the
best way is to have plenty of stock.
producing on the farm what the stock
needs for food. The droppings of the
stock, together with the rotting hay,
straw and stalks. make about the best
fertilizer that can be put on land.
And there ought to be rotation in
crops. No matter how well fertilized,
land planted in cotton year after year
will not yield as abundantly as when
planted in cotton every other, or every
third or fourth year. Our Statesboro
correspondent says that his attention
was called recently to land which,
planted after a crop of potatoes, yield
ed more than a bale of cotton. to the
acre. Before being planted in pota-
toes this land yielded hardly enough
cotton to pay for cultivating it.
Now that a larger cotton crop is de-
manded the cotton farmer ought to
study carefully how he can increase
the output of his land without addi-
tional labor. for labor Is scarce. There
is no doubt he can greatly increase
his yield of cotton per acre by adopting
the intensive system of farming. That
means the enrichment of his land, and
the surest way to enrich his land is TO
raise stock and diversity crops. In
that way as much cotton can be got
from one acre as from three now, and,
that too, without any more labor.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Cat fanciers all agree that Japan
indeed is the country of curious fe-
lines, and surely no example of the
freak in the cat family is more sin
gular than the tailless variety which
abounds in the Land of the Rising
Sun. For the most part the cats of
japan are minus a brush, although
they sometimes have a taiibone I'M
developed and small tuft of hair.
Ernest Haeckel, who recently cele-
brated his SEVENTEEN birthday. has
been professor at Jena since 1862 His
biographers dwell particularly on the
courage he displayed in championing
Darwinism from the beginning. When
Bronn made the first German transla-
ton of the Origin of Species" in 1860,
he deemed it necessary to omit certain
dangerous sentences, particularly
the suggestion that the new theory
might also throw light on the origin
of man.
Farmers in New Jersey who made
the experiment of using Indian. boys
for farm help have decided that it
is failure. They declare that the
boys, who come TO them from the
Carlisle school, turned out to be real
live savages, who could not be con-
trolled, and they have been returned
to the school. William Riddle, a farm
er of New Hampton, had a redskin
lad named Charley, who made things
very interesting on the farm during the
short period he spent there. Mrs. Rid
die decided that it might tame the
Wild spirit of the lad to send him re-
gularly to church and Sunday school,
Charley rebelled. When efforts were
made to tog him out in his nice Sun
DAY clothes he made a break for the
barn and threw things at the farm
er's good wife. Next day he was put on
board the first train and shipped back
to Carlisle.
"A new ice making machine, con-
structed entirely of metal, consisting of
two parts, very simple and compact,
has been introduced IN France. One
part, hemitically closed, contains the
mechanism, and the other is the ice
producer. The smallest size, which Is
foot by foot and half, is run by
hand or a one-eighth horsepower mo-
tor, and makes IA pounds of ice an
hour. One 40 by go inches, with four
horsepower, makes 22O pounds an hour.
The principal feature of the machine
is that the ice is produced without the
aid of any ingredients or preparations
of any kind Whatever requisite is
needed for its operation is supplied at
the time of its manufacture Once the
machine is delivered it produces ice as
long as the metal work used in its con-
struetion holds out, and this is of such
character as to last many years.

wanted Him at Home,

A few days prior to the final ad-
journment of Congress, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, a representative Of an
agricultural district in the Southwest
received a letter from his wife in
which she urged him to do what he
could to hasten the termination of the
session that he might return home and
attend to the business Of the farm.
The wife closed her letter with the fol-
lowing lines:

In an elaborate and highly instructive
article in the North American Review
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer replies to criti-
cisms that have been passed upon the
School of Journalism that he has
founded in Columbia College. So clear
ly and convincingly does Mr.. Pulitzer
answer his critics that at the conciu-
sion of his article there is not left q
shred of their argument. Mr.. Pu.

should be trained not less than the
physician. the lawyer or other profess
sional man. Until the establishment
Of the Pulitzer School there was no
institution of higher education Offering
q satisfactory course in journalism.

braces law, history. literature, ethics.

"Withouten' is a colloquialism that

The most remarkable game of base
ball ever pitched occurred in Boston
the other day. when the Athletic team
Of Philadelphia was retired without a
man having got as far as first base.
Young, the Boston pitcher, who turned
the trick. is therefore a great hero.
But, as a matter of fact, would not in
terest in the game be enhanced If there
was more batting and base running
Under the new rules a game of ball is
hardly more than a contest be-
tween batteries. The pitcher and
the catcher do pretty nearly
all of the team work. The
whole idea seems to be to make the
scores as low as possible and rules are
devised with that end in view. As a
consequence, there is much less action
IN a present-day game than there was
in the game of ten or a dozen years
ago: and yet the people now are just
as fond of seeing pretty fielding and
skillful base running as they ever
were. The average man would much
prefer a game of 10 to 8 in the ninth
inning than a game of to 0, because
there is more life in it.

In the course of his address before
the New England Cotton Manufac-
turers' Association in Boston some days
ago. on the cotton situation, Mr.. The
cdore II. Price referred to the cotton
production of China. He said that he
had been unable to discover any very
definite figures as to the Chinese pro-
duction. Mr.. Z. ]. Donnel, in his
History Of Cotton" published as far
back as 1872, suggested a probable
production in China Of 100000 bales.
The Agricultural Department of the
United States in a recently published
statement, estimated the production of
cotton in China and Korea at 1900,
900 bales. Whatever it may be-" said
Mr.. Price, Il think that so far as
the export trade in cotton goods of
America and Europe is concerned, COM
petition with the home grown product
of India and China is a very much
more important factor than is general
lily recognized, and the figures OF the
export of cotton goods from England
and America TO East India and China
for the past four years seems TO
abundantly sustain this view"
