When President Roosevelt was 60
ing from Oyster Bay to Washington
recently he and his party passed
through Thlrty-fourth street, the chief
executive bowling and smiling to those
who saluted him.
AS the mounted policemen who rode
ahead reached Thirty-fourth street q
big automobile with sightseers drew
up on the north side of the street tc
let the carriages pass.
Suddenly the man with the mega
phone yelled out:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Here
comes the president of the United
States. l was one of his Rough Riders
and arranged it with him to get here
at the same times as this machine
You see we are strictly up to date"
The passengers grinned, but the
grin changed to a puzzled expression
when, as the barker shouted, Hello
Colonel; you see I'm, on deck. the
president bowed and smiled cordial
ly. They were not aware that he
would do the same to any one who had
the nerve to salute him as did the
bogus Rough Rider

Killed by Wire Fences.

Since the use Of wire fences has be
come 50 extensive, the number of cat
tie killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers insur-
ance companies have investigated the
matter and now come forward with a
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
of the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields, where,
in many instances, there was not even
a tree to attract the electric fluid.
AS many dead. cattle were found near
wire fences, this led to the discovery
that the lightning was carried along
the wires composing the fences. Dur
ing severe storm cattle are liable 10

they stand huddled together ready for

running ground wire every ten rods

gave reception at the royal palace in
Copenhagen, and among the first to
pay homage to him was q very hand

Percicaris' Answer.

When Ion Perdicaris was a resident
of the United States he was associated
With Louis Langerman in a railway
project in Pennsylvania. This was the
cause of Langerman's interest in the
Perdicaris kidnapping case.
The story is told that one clustering
night in December Perdicaris asked
LaEgerman to make an investigation
of certain terminal facilities in a
mountain village. After Langerman
had arrived at his destination a ter.
rifle snow stern came up and stopped
traffic on all railroads on that section.
Langernaan was very anxious to get
back and report the result of his work
to Perdicaris, but he was informed
that it would be days before the first
train would leave, so he telegraphed
IS follows:
II am showed in; no trains running.
Cannot leave either with sleigh or
wagon. What shall do?"
This is the reply he received:
Stay there"

AMONG THE INDIANS.
Cir Alexander Mackenzie Believed the
Redmen Were Of Jewish Origin

Rcdmen Were Of Jewish Origin
Even as late as the year 1906 there
were Indians on the North American
continent who had never seen or
heard gun, had never seen tobacco
smoke and were capable of worship
Ing the white men who controlled
these wonders. The Rev. A. G. Mo-
rice tells of some of the adventures
of Slman Fraser, who has stamped
his name on Canada. Father Moriee
writes as follows: "On landing at
Lake Stuart Fraser's men, to impress
the natives with proper idea of
their wonderful resources, fired a vol
ley with their guns, whereupon the
whole crowd Of Indians fell PROSTATE
to the ground. To allay their fears
and make friends tobacco was offered
them, which on being tasted was
found too bitter and thrown away.
Then, to show its use, the crew light
ed their pipes, and at the sight of
smoke issuing from their mcGl.hs the
people began to whisper that they
were still full of the fire wherewith
they had been cremated Pieces of
soap were given to the women, who,
taking them to be cakes OF fat, set
upon crunching them, causing foam
and bubbles in the mouth, which puz-
zled both actors and bystanderS. All
these phenomena, however, were soon
N n
in the native mind. but most pro-
found admiration for the foreigners
and their wares.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an
idea that the Indians of the far north
west were partly, Jewish in origin.
From Lake Athabasca in 1874 he set
out at the head OF an expedition ''in
birch bark canoe, 25 feet long, Az
feet beam and 26 niche; hold, with
5000 pounds of baggage and provis-
ion and a crew Of nine French Cana
dams" He reached the Pacific coast
and returned. The aboriginees he met
were for the most part possessed OF
strongly religious Instincts" said he
in his report. with regard to their
origin all We are prepared to state,
after careful survey of their Ian
guages, manners and customs, is that
they are undoubtedly Of a mixed ORR
gin; come from the mortimer Invest
and had commerce in their early his
tory, perhaps, through intermarriage
with people of Jewish persuasion CT
origin"
New Years day, 1911, in the Cana
dian northwest was described by D..
W. Harmon as follows: This being
the first day of another year, our pao-
pie have passed it. according to the
custom of the Canadians, in drinking
and fighting. Some Of the principal
Indians of Fraser lake desired us to
allow them to remain at the fort that
they might see our people drink. AS
soon as they began to be a little in
toxicated and to quarrel among them
selves the natives began to be appre-
hensive that something unpleasant
might befall them also. They there
fore hid themselves under beds and
elsewhere, saying that they thought
the white people had run mad, for they
appeared no. to know what they were
about. 1t was the first time that they
had ever seen a person intoxicated"

Misadventure OF .sDennis."

Capt. Eugene H. C. Leutze. U. s. N,
commander of the battleship Maine,
has German blood in his veins, and
vast knowledge of detail about naval
ordnance in his head, says the Kan
sas City Journal. Before he was given
the Maine and last went to sea he was
superintendent of the gun factory at
the Washington Navy Yard, and gain
ed the reputation of being a strict
taskmaster.
Hsbitually an "early to bed early to
rise" man, Capt. Leutze found him
self unable to sleep one night. He
arose, dressed left his quarters and
walked down to one of the gun shops
Although three shifts are needed to
dispose of the great press of work
now on hand, there was little doing.
Capt. Leutze's sharp eye detected a
mechanic sitting on the carriage of a
great lathe, which was slowly running
to and fro, taking almost infinitesimal
threads of steel from a twelve-inch
gun. He was doing, oblivious to all
surroundings, when Capt. Leutze
reached his side and aroused him with:
''Well what are you doing, and
what's your name"
The craftsman looked up and quail
ed. Then with a resigned air, he re-
piled: We'll, 1 guess it's Dennis"
He was not discharged.

A MISTAKEN POLICY.

A well known manager of a Geor-
gia railroad said few days ago that
he could not understand the policy of
the managers of the principal rail-
roads of this state and Florida reIa-
tive to their local traffic. They
seemed to think they couldn't do
enough to encourage the cultivation
of cotton but were unwilling to make
concessions to encourage the cultiVa-
ton of vegetables and fruits. AS a
matter of fact, he said, one acre of
peaches or vegetables furnished about
as much freight as fifty acres of cot
ton.
Thus far this season the Atlantic
Coast Line has handled more than
$500 cars of melons and the Central
of Georgia Railway more than 1000
cars of peaches.
We don't know how much revenue
these roads get out of car of vege-
tables or fruit, but 1t is probable they
get about as much as they do out of
a car of cotton.
The market isn't overstocked any
season by the fruits and vegetables
from this section. About all the ship
ments are to the Eastern markets.
Only occasionally are there shipments
to Western cities. The reason is that
the supply is only sufficient for the
Eastern cities.
We venture to say that the melon
and peach growers OF Georgia make
good profits on their fields and
orchards. And hundreds of other
farmers would engage in the culti-
walton of fruits and vegetables if
they were given a little encourage
ment by the railroads.
AS already stated II is difficult to
understand why this encouragement
isn't given. The roads could increase
their business very greatly by extend
ing the right kind of assistance and
timely encouragement to the growing
of melons and peaches. What the
roads get out of these articles is not
summed up in the total of the freight
receipts. Much OF the 81, 900, 600 or more
which the peach crop has brought
into the state th.s year will find its
way to the railroads
Money the railroads put out in en-
couraging the development of lands
tributary to them isn't wasted. 1t is
an investment that yields a big in
fprpet
