That Terrible Child.

The small son Of a certain university
professor, whose parents are deserved
.ly popular for their tact and courteous
speech, appeared at the home of a fell
low professor and hesitatingly asked
Mrs. - If he might look at the parlor
rug. Permission was of course grant
ed, and Mrs. - felt some surprise to
see the little fellow stoop over the rug
and stare silently for some half min
lutte. He Strengthened himself up and,
meeting her wondering expression, said
ltriumphantly:

| For the average healthy man I think
there is something to be said in favor
of a good meal even if trif1e heavy

that the human stomach, although it
lis not gizzard, like that Of a goose,
still does its work better when slightly
stretched, just as the lungs work bet

bodily exercise in the open air.-Lon-

A Model Establishment.

A visit to the headquarters OF the town
road commissioner, Horace Jackson,
would be a great help to anyone who
wishes to learn how to conduct a model
rendezvous for all kinds of road working
implements. Here everything is neat
and orderly, everything in its place, and
a place for everything that is needed in
building and repairing our 80 miles of
hills. One road machine, a Victor, has
had 21 years of service in conquering
snags, roots, stones and other culch that
it happens to meet, while seven heavy
snow rollers hatten out the snow and
break the drifted country ROADS in the
winter season. For these services seven
horses are used six of which are iron
grey, one pair weighing 5000 pounds,
while the average weight is 1900.
A critical observer OF the commits
sioner's horse barn at the town farm
would be surprised at the cleanli-
erty under charge of Mr.. Jackson.
The interior of the room " here the horses
are kept is whitewashed, while the usual
spider webs and trumpery lying around
is missing; the floor is kept clean and
the horses always well groomed. In one
corner OF the first floor IS the Office where
blankets are dried and harness repaired,
and in a corner Of the room is a medi-
cine cupboard with harness repair
ing tools and other articles which
S.,ch hocteIrv demands The
is separate and always kept locked,
while in the cellar is a store room and
piggery. The largest barn under Mr..
Jackson's care was built from the old
Summerville schoolhouse and on the first
floor OF this is kept the road machines,
snow rollers and farming utensils used
by the town farm people. Everything is
always under cover and not exposed to
the elements. On the second floor, which
has a movable floor to hoist wag-
ons etc, through, is a wagon reposi-
tory and is also used to store farming
implements in winter. Petitioned off in
corner is room used to store blank
cts, robes and other easily movable things
When Mr. Jackson took charge of this
department OF the towns affairs every
thing was left unlocked, but he seeing
that the borrowing propensities of tax
payers was high and that they nearly all
believed that public property was pub
lie graft" forgot to return borrowed
articles, so he had every store room and
building placed under lock and key. No
serious loss has been discovered since
Another small room in which the small
road working tools were kept was also
found to be orderly and clean and
all the tools were in good repair. There
are 1000 feet OF cedar posts to repair
fences, and piles Of lumber to brace
invalid culverts, which will probably be
needed next spring. Mr.. Jackson does
not anticipate any serious amount of
high water next spring so that a very
small amount of repairing will have TO
be done to put the roads in good condi-
tion for they were all left ain good
condition last fall. He would be
pleased to show people the town prop
erty under his charge and it is safe to
say that they would have to go quite
distance before they would find another

THE MAN AT THE HEAD.
At the head Of the association is Sir
Alfred Jones, one of the brainiest and
most energetic Of England's self-made.
captains of industry. AS proof of his
own confidence in the British empire
cotton growing undertaking he has
bought 10000, 900 acres in Sierra Leone
and started raising cotton there on a
big scale.
Under ns energetic direction the as
sociation has dispatched agents to spot
out all the likely places in the empire
where cotton can be raised and made
to pay. Large -consignments of cotton
seed have been distributed. Machinery
has been purchased and sent where it
is needed. Expert cotton cultivators
have been engaged, several of them
from America, to show the natives the
best methods Of raising cotton. Many
asmples of cotton have been received
from agents of the association that
Lancashire manufacturers have pro-
nounced good and some of it quite
equal TO the American product.
AS a result Of all that has been done
thus far it is confidently asserted that
in England's possessions all the cot
ton needed for her mills can be raised
and as much more as the rest of Eu-
rope may need. Indeed, one enthusi-
astic member declared that America
would some day be importing cotton
from British colonies.
RICH FIELDS IN VIEW.
The latest reports of the association
gives long list Of places in the Brit
ish colonies and dependencies where
cotton is now being grown, or can be
grown. 1t is being raised in Malta
and Cyprus in Europe. In Asia, as is
of course we'll known, it is extensive
ly cultivated in India, but it is also
grown in Ceylon, in the Straits Settle
ments and in North Borneo. In the
Western Hemisphere it is grown in the
West Indies, in British Guiana, in Fiji
and in Australia.
In Africa cotton has long been a sta
pie product of Egypt and is now being
cultivated in earnest in the Soudan.
At Kassala, at SEMINAR and Shendi the
planting will be extended as soon as the
Suakim- -Berber railway is completed.
Cotton can be grown in many parts Of
South Africa, such as the Lydenburg
district, Swaziland and Basutoland.
1t is grown in Natal and in the Guiana
River district of Cape Colony. 1t -four
ishes in Rhodesia, in British Central
Africa and in Uganda in various
districts On the West Coast it is cul-
tivated in Lagos, Sierra Leone, in Gam
bia, on the Gold Coast, in Northern
and Southern Nigeria, also in Mauri-
thus and the Seychelles and in st.
Helena

and which is now in the hands Of
builders and decorators.
The beauty and enormous size OF the
fuchsia bushes of Kylemore have ex-
cited the admiration of all who have
ever visited the neighborhood. The late
Queen Victoria admitted that they ex-
celled anything Of the sort she had
ever seen in her travels, and she made
several unsuccessful efforts to introduce
the species into the royal gardens at
Windsor and at Buckingham Palace.
Queen Alexandra has just had one OF
the bushes brought bodily from Kyle
more, and the Duchess Of Manches-
ter's own gardener has come over to
see it planted at Sandringham.
The gardener, like a large section
Of his countrymen, is possessed OF the
popular superstition that Irish-grown
plants cannot flourish in English soil.
and he frankly told her Majesty that
he could hold out no hope OF a success
fGl experiment in this case. Asked by
her Majesty why this particular spe-
cies should not flourish at Sandring-
ham the old gardener answered, sure.

the rocks of Connemara than there is

VISIT THIS MONTH TO KEFIT CHSTLE

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The announce.
ment that the King and Queen viii
visit Mr.. and Mrs. Willie James at
West Dean Park, Chichester, this
month is regarded as an exceptional
mark of royal favor, for it is a most
unusual thing for the sovereign and his
consort to be guests of a cOmmOner at
the same time. A few months ago the
King spent a weekend with this pop
ular couple and the Queen was enter
tained by them when she was the
Princess Of Wales.
OF course Mrs. James plays an ex-
cellent game of bridge. She is also a
clever amateur actress and shares with
the King his fondness for yachting.
Mr.. James, by the way, is of American
descent.
Another house which the King will
probably visit soon again is RuffOrd
Abbey, the Nottinghamshire seat Of
Lord and Lady Saville. He recently
told a friend, and that friend told 9TH
ers, why he finds charm in RuROrd
Abbey that is conspicuously absent
from several other aristocratic country
houses which he visits. 1t is because
