Co.Operation in England

The State Journal tells of the devel-
opment of the cooperative move
ment in England as follows: "How the
cooperative movement has grown in
Great Britain was strfkingly shown
at the recent meeting in Stratford of
the British Cooperative congress.
The congress was attended by some
l, 800 delegates. There are now l ,7O1
distinctive societies, having MEM
bership of 2, l16, 127. About 1856, 600
600 is represented in cooperative en-
terprises. The association does a
business of s445, 200, 600 annually and
the net profits last year were $46, OOO,-
600, which is said to be three and one
half times the percentage OF net profits
country under ordinary conditions
The address referred to admits that
attempts at cooperative land owning
and manufacturing have thus far met
with failure. but the association de-
cided to try again and adopted a res
olution providing for the establish
ment of a cooperative land owning
society which will lease land to small
holders on condition that they live
wholly by labor on their farms. The
association apparently baked a. what
seems to be the next step, co-opera-
tive farming"

A Broadway Robinson Crusoe.

There is a man in New York who
has lived in one of the biggest hotels
along Broadway for over eight years,
and the clerks say he has not a friend
or acquaintance in the world. He
does not even know the bell hops by
name and he leaves sealed envelope
for the maids and the boy on the man
telpiece every Monday. One is mark
ed boy" and the other maid"
This is the way he does his tipping.
He has patronized the restaurant in
the hotel all the time, but he was new
er seen to entertain a guest or to be
entertained. He has been approached
a thousand times by other guests, but
he presents such a frozen front that
not one of them has been able to break
through it. He never says "Good
morning." even to the clerks, unless
they bid him the luck of the day first,
and then he does it so grudgingly that
the old-timers have long ceased to
practice the amenity. At I O'Clock
has been kept sacred for him in the
dining room and eats a steak and
drinks pint of wine. He has coffee
and a cigar and he usually stays
about two hours. His tip to the din
ing room man is made weekly and in
a blank envelope laid on the table. He
has never called up any one on the
telephone and has never answered a
telephone.

Mountains of Queer Stuff.

One of the legends of the Isthmus of
Panama, where the great canal is to
be built, is to the effect that some
where in the interior of the forests,
which extend south from the settled
portion of the isthmus, there is hid
den a mountain of pure gold. This is.
in all probability, a myth, but it is be-
lieved by many on the isthmus, and
no white man has ever penetrated to
the region where the golden mountain
is supposed to rear its shining head.
If the existence of a mountain of
gold is more than doubtful, there do
exist mountains composed of material
which can easily be turned into gold.
Our own Iron Mountain in Missouri
is more than LOCO feet high and is an
almost solid mass of iron ore.
The celebrated cliffs of Dover on
the English shore of the British Chan
mel are simply hills, or small noun
tains of chalk, and while ago it was
reported a mountain of borax had
been discovered in Mexico.
Stromboli. that island volcano which
is called "the Lighthouse Of the Med
iterranean, may fairly be called a
mountain of sulphur. This volcano
has been internationally active As far
back as we have any account of it,
and has sent forth sulphur until the
sides of the mountain are largely
composed of that substance, and the
island on which it stands is one mass
Of sulphur.

Fattest Boy In the South.


From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
''De warmes' baby dat ebbah come
down de Memphis pike" is the char
acterization given by Uncle Remus to
Emmett Roberts, the boy giant of the
south, who is spending few days in
this city.
There is something wonderful about
this boy of II years past, who stands
I feet inches in his sock feet, and
weighs 3l4 pounds before dinner. He
wears q No. q shoe, which is about
Is inches in length of sole and 81
inches across the ball of the foot. He
measures 45 inches around the chest,
with a chest expansion of 6 inches. A
tape line stretched from the point of
the shoulder to the tip of his fingers
shows 80 inches, and he measures IS
inches around the shoulders:
This mite of boy can touch the tips
of his thumb and first finger, and you
can pass your clinched fist through the
ring they make. His trousers meas
ure Is inches around the waist, 43
inches inseam, 56 inches outseam and
% inches around the knee.
He came from a race of giants. His
father was feet tall and weighed 270
pounds. His mother was a woman of
ordinary size. measuring 5 feet I
inches in height. Both father and
mother are dead.
He has three brothers, all of extra
ordinary proportions. One of them is
% years old and stands 6 feet 8 inches
in height and weighs 2lO pounds.
The youngest is an infant of Ii years,
standing even 6 feet in height and tip
ping the beam at f65 pounds.
"What does he eat?" asked one in
quisitive person who saw him.
He eats pretty much as other people
do, only of course in much larger
quantities. Two dozen eggs make
him nice little omelette, and it takes
three to five pounds of beefsteak to
persuade him that you are not joking
him about dinner. He was taken out
home few nights ago by George Il.
Belote, who lives on Cannon avenue,
opposite Magnolia park.
eve had to make him up bed on
the floor" said Mr.. Belote. "We took
seven foot mattress and spread it on
the floor, supplementing it by about
two feet of pillows. He needed it all.
At breakfast we had to take him out
on the porch, for he couldn't get his
knees under the table to save him.
The young giant will leave for ST.
Louis this week to make tour of the
principal cities of the United States
before entering upon course of study
at one of the southern universities.

The Colorado Situation.
From Bryan's Commoner.

From Bryan's Commoner.
The industrial situation in ColOra-
do is unfortunate in the extreme. The
conflict between the miners and the
mine owners has terminated in vio-
lence on one side and military despOt-
ism on the other. On the merits OF
the strike, justice is with the strikers,
but the lawlessness charged to them
will probably destroy their hope of
success. They are seeking an eight
hour day and the sentiment in Colo
RADIO is SO largely on their side that a
law was passed establishing the eight
hour day in mines. The supreme court
declared the law unconstitutional. A
constitutional amendment was then
submitted authorizing an eight-hour
law. This amendment was Endorsed
by the republican party as we'll as the
democratic party and was carried by
a large majority. But the legislature
yielded to the influence employed by
the corporations and failed to pass a
law carrying out the constitutional
amendment. What shall we say of
legislators who would thus refuse to
obey the constitution? What shall
we say of mine owners who would Sc
cure notification of constitutional
provision Here is lawlessness of
the most dangerous kind, and it has
been followed by military despotism
which il az harsh a 9 tho rule of tho
car. The explosion which killed six
teen non-uniOn miners was a bastard
ly and diabolical act. Every person
in any way connected with it as par
ticipant or advisor should be given
the full penalty of the law, but the
crime of one, or, at ost, few men,
cannot justify the deportation of near
ly hundred men against whom no
criminal charge could be brought. If
the men deported were guilty OF vio-
lating the law. they should have been
tried and punished. If they were not
guilty. it was an outrage against our
form of government to carry them to
the border of the state and leave them
without food. Even in this, as in all
disputes between labor and capital,
the lawlessness charged to labor is
denounced by all, as it should be, but
the lawlessness of capital is less heard
. of. For this reason the laboring man
who resorts to violence does his fell
lows an inexcusable wrong. The Off

Samuel Humphreys was out on his
wheel last week and saw a badger in
the field near by. He dismounted,
jumped over the fence, chased the
badger to a hole then found he had no
weapon OF warfare but chew of to-
bacco. He bit off a big cud and pro-
ceeded to fill the badgers eyes with
juice SO it could not see to fight, when
he kicked it to death, skinned it and
brought the hide home with him. A

A YEAR OF WONDER.
The Fraud and Corruption of the
Roosevelt Administration Breaks
All Records.

From the Kansas Democrat.
Senator Hoar says this has been
year of wonder. He has seen judge
of the United States court impeached;
several officials of the postoffice de-
partment sent to Jail for fraud; a re-
cent official escaped prison by grace
of the statute of limitations; a member
of the house finds similar shelter
from prosecution and another member
convicted Of conspiracy to defraud the
government; one senator OF the United
States escaped judicial punishment
through a technicality and another
convicted and sentenced to state pris-
on. ga sad and terrible year, says
Mr.. Hoar. And Mr.. doar might
have added that every one of them
were not only republicans, but that
they are the trusted friends of the
president and that the same corrupt
corporation element which put them
in Office dominated the national con-
vention at Chicago this week, named
its candidates, made its platform and
if Roosevelt is reelected will continue
to plumber the people for another four
years. The corruption of the Grant
administration against which the peO-
pie revolted in 1876 is nothing in COM
parison with the corruption of the adj
ministration of Theodore Roosevelt.

In making your arrangements for
the Worlds Fair at St. Louis, this
summer, il you consider convenience
and saving of time, you will take the
Wabash Railroad as it runs by and
stops at its station at the entrance of

miles run and return, and the newt

By all means consider the advantages

subject:
Neighborhood not far from here,
Put in telephone last year;
Company put in rural line.
Instruments ali talked I'D" fine,
All you had to do was ring;
Every bel went ting-a-ling.
One for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short for old man Scroggs.
Every neighbor had his call.
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was through
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors one by one;
Mighty nice, but lots of fun
To overhear some other two
TeiI1ng what was not Tor you.
Every time the signal rang
To the phone each farmer sprang,
SlyIy grinned. and softly took
The receiver from the hook;
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his leg and said, ~ swun!
Telephone Is lots of fun"
Somehow in a week or two
Troubles dark began TO brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scroggs calling him a ''sot."
Farmer Scro9gs seemed angry too,
Heard Smith telling what he knew;
Paid him of with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs.
Begge overheard sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too. were in the muss,
Raised u most tremendous fuss.
Every one from ScrogRs to Jones.
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the liie has silent grown.
Wires rusted, poles oerthrOwn.
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full of grief and woes;
Each too mad to speak a word,
All because they overheard.

have found pretty nearly the secret of
true popularity.
Realizing ones importance comes
along about. the time other folks be-

There are folks in the world who
not only do not believe all they hear,
but not even all they say.

it was when you borrowed il?
Sometimes it's pretty hard to dis
