Coffee In Wnrfimea.

In the civil war there were numerous
coffee substitutes. The principal was
potatoes. which were cut into small
cubes and parched. The beverage was
declared to be potable. A Texas regi-
ment used corn. parching the grains
till they were a blackish brown. 1t
was common to make coffee out of
rice and other cereals besides corn.
Many of the southern troops made a
drink of the tender roots of the sassa-
fras by boiling them in water. Many
a gallon of sassafras tea have drunk

Vibrating Enrmern

The exodus of Iowa farmers to the
northwest during the last three years
and a similar later movement of farm
ers from Michigan, Illinois and Ohio to
the southwest is regarded by an ex-
change as a natural tendency on the
part Of some farmers in the older
states to realize the money that land
which has become very valuable will
bring and to go into a new country
where big crops can be grown easily
and without fertilizers. Their neigh
bors, men who have learned how tC
make money on high priced land, buy
up the farms Of those who prefer the
simpler ways Of new country to the
exacting methods Of intensive farm
ing.

Things a SuitOr Must Do Before He
Wins His Bride.
When a lad is in love with a girl in
Lapland they run a race-not a fair
race, for he is so heavily handicapped
that if she wishes the girl can get first
to the goal, but if she cares for the
young man who is trying to win she
lets him Overtake1 ger, because if she
Outruns him he a { propose again.
But even if h2EsNs the race and Ahe

consent of Nc - .,arents At one
time if a maiNG DorEed girl without
this he was liable to receive capital
punishment.
Besides an engagement ring. the
young Laplander sends his future bride
a girdle and a quantity of brandy. He
goes as far as the door of her hut. but
remains outside until invited to enter
when a bumper of brandy is offered to
the girls father. If he drinks it. il
means that he gives his consent to the
marriage. and the happy lover ther
pays the father a sum Of money anC
promises to give the girl some clothes.

less than in 1902 when stocks accumu-

Ell Cafetal, coffee trade journal, is
authority for the statement that the
quantity Of coffee yearly bought and
sold in the worlds trade is worth

w. r. Hearst and w. w. Aston

Kansas City Journal: The methods
William K. Hearst is using to procure
the democratic presidential nominal
ion very naturally call to mind the
story of the purchase of the Roman
crown. But it is not necessary to go
beyond the history of the United
States to find case in point with
which to make comparisons in this
matter.
In 1881 William Waldorf Astor Sc
cured at great cost q congressional
nomination in New York CITY. Mr..
Astor was then at the head of the lar
gest estate in America, of which his
snare alone amounted to over 300
ooo,oOO' He was led to believe that
every American voter had his price
and that consequently success in pol
itics depended upon money. Acting
under this impression he began his
campaign for congress-, which in some
respects was more remarkable one
than had ever occurred up, to that
time. The district he ran in was pop
ulous and had a big contingent of
those greedy voters who have no high
standards of citizenship. Thousands
were found ready to receive money
and give promises. In every way it
looked to be an excellent field for ex-
ploltation in commercial way, and
Mr.. Astor gave carte blanche to his
managers. Money flowed like water
and the privileges of the saloons were
free to all. No man who was open to
monentary influences went without
cash. But when the votes were count
ed Astor was found to be- defeated.
Many of the votes he had bought did
not stay bought. He discovered that
IN spite OF their love for lucre, most
Americans believe in clean and hon
est elections; and that the poorest way
to get the support of majority is by
outraging their sense of decency and
honor.
Mr.. Hearst is now trying to do with
the nation what Mr.. Astor failed To
do in one district in New York CITY.
He Is trying to buy his way to Office.
Will he succeed? His prospects from
the viewpoint of Astor's experience
look discouraging, to say the least.
