NJ. Hugo, the French giant, sailed

his Christmas dinner at home. lie
weighs 43O pounds. is seen feet nine
inches tall and requires a bed ten Sect
long, SO that the largest stateroom on
the ship failed ignobly to meet the
demand. To solve the difficulty the
partition between two staterooms was
cut away and a special bed was con-
structed, Even at that, the giant is
in something of a plight having to
double w every now and then to keep
from knocking his towering head
against deck coverings, while compan-
ionways, dining saloon chairs and la
bles and all of the accommodations Of
the ship are many sizes too small TO
comfortably accommodate the French
man. He is % years old, and says he
is still growing

Cruelty in the German Army.

Cases of cruelty to privates in the
German army multiply daily. The
most recent are that Of Franszh, a
non-commissioned officer in the Eighty
fifth infantry, who was tried on 1920
counts of cruelty and convicted on 100
of them. He got ten years. The in
teresting point Of the case was that
FransZki had left the army and was
serving as a policeman in Hamburg
when the accusations were made. An
other interesting case is that of a prl-
vate who was tried for desertion in
Koenigsburg and sentenced to nine
months Imprisonment. After he had
begun to serve his sentence the case
was reopened. 1t was learned then
that he had deserted through fear Of
his life. Once a non-cOmmissioned Of
ficer had threatened to run him
through with his sword. The original
sentence was Quashed and the soldier
restored to duty. No less than ten
"non-coms" of his regiment are being
tried for cruelty.

LIBERAL CONTRACT FOR eEETs
American Sugar Feet Company Makes
Generous Deal With Farmers.

American Sugar Beet Company Makes
Generous Deal with Farmers.
GRAND ISLAND.--The American
Beet Sugar company has just issued
its new contracts tor the raising Of
beets during the season of 1904 and a
much more favorable contract than
has ever been issued is presented to
the farmers. The beet raiser has, in
deed, the choice of two contracts, one
the same as last year and the other a
fiat rate contract which. regardless
of the sugar content of the beet
provided only, as always, that it must
be a sound beet-pays S4.75 to the
farmer within handling distance TO
the factory, with 20 cents additional
for such of the beets which toward
the end of the season have been sliced
before delivery. 1t is the expectation
that the beet raisers in this vicinity,
within hauling distance Of the factory,
will largely take advantage Of the
fiat rate contract.
1t is the first time the choice of
such favorable contracts as these have
been submitted Some of the farm
ers have been favorable TO the fiat
rate price. owing to the fact that they
could not without expense satisfy
themselves thoroughly as to the cor
rectness of the tests. Others have pre-
ferred the sliding scale, 81 per ton
for ii per cent beets and % cents
additional per ton for every additional
per cent of sugar content found by
chemical analysis made by the fac
tory chemists. The fiat rate contract
is here regarded as the most liberal
ever made by Nebraska beet sugar
company.

General Miles Savings Deposit.

In his speech at an Evacuation day
dinner in Boston the other evening
General Miles mentioned that while
working in that city before the civil
war he saved up a dollar and depos-
tied it in a savings bank. He had
not thought of it for many years, but
his visit to Boston recalled the mat
ter. The officials of the bank looked
over their books and sure enough
found that the dollar was there in
the name of Nelson A. Miles. Unfor'
tunately for him howver, no deposit
of less tain So draws interest, so he
might as we'll have had his treasure

Automobile Sickness,

French physicians report an in
creasing number of CAGES Of acute ner-
vousness which are due directly to
automobiling, and they predict that
with an increase of the sport will
come an increase in the number of
the cases. The sickness is called
the neurosis of anxiety, and may be
traced to the excitement and mental
tension of rapid travelling necessary to
secure a reasonable feeling of enjoy
ment, while speeding rapidly, with
risks and dangers constantly at hand

Post Office Must
Not Pad Receipts

Acting First Assistant Postmaster
General John j. Howley, in his annual
report, reviews the efforts made by
the department to suppress irregular
and fraudulent methods to increase re.
ceipts in order to secure increased sal
ary. The padding consisted in the
sale of large quantities of stamped
paper to persons engaged in business
and handling their mail in Offices other
than where they buy their stamps.
There has been reduction in salary
in about forty offices, and in few
instances, Offices have been relegated
to lower grades. The report says
LAS long as the salary and grade OF
an Office are based solely on the gross
receipts above, the legitimate business
of the office will exist. Regard ng
the practice of detailing postotfice
clerks to serve on civil service district
boards, Mr.. Howley says: L am oil
the opinion that the postal service
should be relieved of this expense. -

"The Wizard of Or. "

The whimsical, wonderful Wizard
OF o." is unquestionably the most
emphatic musical success Of the day,
thereby proving that an enchanting
fairy tale set to music and embellished
by magnificent scenery is still palat-
able form of entertainment. The
originality of characterization in this
modern fairy tale is we'll exem-
plified in the Scarecrow and the Fin
Woodman, two characters that are so
odd and comical that they would alone
insure the success of the production.
Every season the resources Of stage
craft are improving. The Wizard of
Or" exceeds in attractiveness all prev
ious spectacles. Scene after scene of
bewildering beauty is disclosed to the
audience, until finally the resources of
the stage manager. the scenic artist
and the machinist seem to have been
exhausted. The five score clever
people appearing in The Wizard of
Or keep the audience continually
amused. and it would take a pretty
blase individual to discover a dull mo-
ment in the performance.
