a great deal of trouble he discovered
that the objection to him came from
a man who had borrowed from him
the money to pay his way through
college. After that, what chance does
any man stand?"

A Question of knowledge.

Two men in Kansas City were hav-
ing a heated argument concerning the
location of a certain theater in New
York city. The one insisted that the
house stood on lower Broadway, while
the other was equally confident that it
was uptown.
Finally the first man, becoming
angry exclaimed: perhaps you
think you know more about New York
than 1 do? How often have you been
there?"
"Once," was the epigrammatic re-
ply.
Well exclaimed the other. in tri-
umph, I've been there five different
times, and 1 ought to know more
about it than you do
The vanquished one was silent for
a moment. Presently he spoke with a
smile on his face. How long did you
stay in New York on each of the five
visits you nader"
The other scratched his head a mo-
ment before replying. and said: well
each time l was there for two or three
days. How long did you stay on the
only visit you nader
Seventeen years." was the calm re-
ply. That ended the conversation

CORN CROP is IMMENSE.
Some Comparisons Which Show the
Marvellous Production.

Some Comparisons Which Show the
Marvellous Production.
Our corn crop of this year, If
massed together, would cover sixty
acres of ground to the depth of nearly
1000 feet-a veritable mountain of
corn over third of a mile high If
divided equally among the population
of the earth it would give each person
nearly two bushels. One practical re-
suit of the enormous corn crop ought
to be material reduction in the price
of beef for home consumption, since
it is the crop on which beef cattle are
chiefly fed. In many parts of the west
the harvest has been abundant but in
Oklahoma, especially, farmers this
year are boastful of their corn CROP
Favorable climatic conditions pro-
duced a record-breaking yield. In
many instances the ears and stalks
are of such unusual size as to be veri-
table curiosities. In a field owned by
Walter Mathews, a farmer near the
town of Mulhall, in Logan county, an
eleven-year-old boy weighing eighty
pounds climbed a stalk to the height
of four feet without it's bending with
him. The stalk was strongly rooted
and about sixteen feet high. While
tional, no traveller through the west
this fall could fail to be impressed
with the vastness of the corn area and
the immensely of the crop-Leslie's

The modern American Beau Brum-
mel expends $4,000 a year for his
clothes. The original Beau Brummel
was an exquisite, who dressed that the
world might gaze upon him in won
der and admiration. His twentieth
century representative cares not a
whit for mere externals, but he is q
veritable sybarite. Thousands for
comfort, but not one cent for per-
fumes is the paraphrase which
might fit the well-dressed man of to-
day. He leaves faddishness and
scents to dancing masters and hair
dressers and asks to be merely well
groomed. 1t is not New YOrk's multi

Polk street depot in a Dearborn street
horse car with a newly-landed immi-

got off at Adams street and disap-

ease by her side quite empty-handed.

LIcoRIcE WOOD A ROOT.
The Foundation of Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.


Dainty Plant.
Pretty nearly $4,000, 900 worth of
licorice is used up in this country
every year from the lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most people
think that licorice is made from the
wooden twigs and branches of tree.
But in reality the licorice wood is the
root of a very pretty, dainty plant,
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that are colored bright green on one
side and pale silver green on the 9TH
er. The licorice plant is a perennial,
and in England, where they are trying
to make an industry of raising it, the
experimenters plant it in rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and oriental countries
great plantations are given up to it al
together. The licorice plant throws
out immensely f1eshy roots, full OF
juice when they are fresh. They
spread and burrow far into the earth,
and good, big hole has to oe dug to
get them out. The 1icorice wood, as
we see it here, represents only about
half the original weight and size of
the root, for fully so per cent of the
juice is lost in drying it. Therefore
the licorice dealers are getting to be
more and more in favor of squeezing
the juice of the roots on the spot and
then shipping this extract.

SPRUNG FROM SAME SOURCE.
Whale and Lion Said to Be of Identi
cal ORIGIN.

Cal OFI9In.
AS every one knows or ought -
know, the whale is not a fish, bui
mammal, and biologists have lons
pondered and disputed about it's fam
lily tree. In Eocene times the ances
tors of mammals were beginning tc
take shape somewhat like those of to-
day and to lose the grotesqueness in
herited from their reptilian progeni
tors. To be sure, animals were very
different from those of to-day. Horses
were no larger than dogs and had
five toes, while cattlelike tinoceras
twice the size of an OK, with six horns
tusklike teeth and five toes, cropped
the heritage of Wyoming. Along with
these peculiar plant feeders there
dwelt some very primitive flesh eat
ers, to which Prof. Cape gave the
name of creadonta.
The scene shifts to modern times
Prof Fraas of Stuttgart, Germany, is
delving in the rocks near Cairo
Egypt. He is getting out huge jaw
bones that have been petrified. The
jawbones are those of whales and the
rocks near Cairo were, in Eocene
times, the seashore. The professor
has studied his whale jaws and com
pared their teeth with other fossil
teeth. Now he tells us in a recent
Abhandlungen that these teeth of an
cient whales are like those of the
ancient carniverous creodonts. From
this he argues that on Eocene or ear
lier times some primitive flesh eater
took to an aquatic life. From these
old times to the present whales have
been becoming more fshlike.
1t is hard to believe that the raven
Gus lion and inoffensive and toothless
whale of to-day had a common ances
tor, yet they both have the same
tastes for blood, only the whale swa]-
lows his food whole.

AUTHORS DAUGHTER ON STAGE.
Ethel Bret Harte Forced to Earn Liv-
ina in Concerts.

ing in Concerts.
Miss Ethel Bret Harte, the daughter
of the famous writer of early Cal1for-
mia life, has decided to devote herseIf
to concert work. Although Bret Harte
made large profits from his writings
and won a success which seldom
comes to a writer as early as it did
to him, he left his family in very
straitened circumstances, and II 1t
were not for the many stanch friends
in the American colony in London
Mrs. Bret Harte would often find 1t
difficult to make both ends meet
With her children she has made her
home in Bayswater ever since Bret
Harte's death. The family difficulties
have been complicated by threatened
loss of sight of one of the sons and
he has been sent to Switzerland in
the hope that a renowned oculist may
perform a successful operation
Miss Bret Harte has had long up
hill struggle in her work. She served
stage apprenticeship with George
Edwards and D'Oyly Carte. She has
a soprano voice of excellent range and
sympathetic quality and her one de-
sire is to bring it to greater perfec-
ton. Her capacity for work seems
endless and her love of music is as
much of an incentive as the money
which she hopes to bring into the fam
lily purse. 1t is extremely difficult to
get a hearing on the concert stage in
London, where only the well-knOwn
artists are invited to sing, but through
the influence of the friends of the
American author his daughter will
have every opportunity to make the
success which her friends anticipate.

Agency Formed to jog the Memory.
The frequent cases of weakness or
loss of memory which threaten to
make this age remarkable have given
rise in Vienna to the establishment OF
a '4Memento Agency" whose function
is to relieve of anxiety those people
who can not rely on their own recoI-
ection with regard to future engage
ments. The agency issues a double
envelope to it's clients. In one, on
which you write your name, address
and the date on which you wish to
have your memory logged, you inclose
a note of the particular business of
which you want reminding. You seal
it up and send it, in the second en-
ve1ope, to the agency, which returns
you the Enclosure exactly at the de-
sired time. You are thus freed from all
intermediate worry. There is only one
possible flaw in this arrangement.
Who can guarantee that the employees
of the agency will not also lapse into
forgetfulness?

How to Remain Young Naturally.


Better than the art of growing old
gracefully is the secret of not grow
ing old at all. 1t is something worth
knowing and worth remembering.
The secret is concealed in the fact
that men and women are as old as
they take themselves to be. That i'm
plies will power, but what of it? The
world is governed by will power.
When a man says that he is dead
on his feet he is usually telling the
truth.
Growing old is a habit When q
man at 40, or so, or 60 years imagines
that he is growing old, he will be old.
After awhile the world will learn
the secret of longevity Improved con-
ditions, supplemented by will power,
will perform the miracle.
Then q man, instead of growing old
gracefully, will remain young Aatur-
