POTATO FEELING CONTEST.

Winner Peeled Twenty-eight Pounds
 In a Little over Thirteen Minutes.
 Perhaps the qleerest of the many odd competitions that are held in Lon don at the beginning of the year is the potato peeling contest which comes off at the headquarters of a catering conl- pany in the east end, says the Kansas City Star. E
 The firm employs 100 boys as potato peelers, and 1o stimulate their industry the management offers a prize of $o and the title of champion potato peelcr of London to the lad who can peel twenty eight pounds of potatoes in the shortest space of time. The potatoes must also be neatly pared, and all 'eyes' and blemishes must be removed.
 This year thirty of the smartest boys in the employ of the firm entered the contest the other day. A bag contain ing twenty-eight pounds of potatoes and large tin pail were placed before each competitor. and at half past | i'll tSe evening precisely the signal to start was given. Thirty short knives @lean- cd in the air. and all was silence save for the swish. swish of the potato skins and the dropping of the vegetables in the pails
 The rapdity with which the boys pared was wonderful to witness. and thirteen minutes and forty-fiv seconds from the start a lad named Conolly shouted: Done. Southwark forey er!" ''Garn,' chorused an envious voice; we've not cleaned the eyes aht"'
 Then another shri1l voice yelled "Finishedn' and another cried, "Done!" So close was the race and so excellent the form of the competitions that the last lad threw down his knife after fifteen minutes had elapsed.
 The peeled potatoes were then emp tied on mats, and the umpire critically inspected them. Connolly, it. seemed, was the cleverest as well as the quick est peeler in the firms employ, and amid great cheering he was declared the champion of London and presented with the prize of S5.

ORANGE U r..Om JAPAN.
Car Load of tho Fruit Brought ts .Ia.a Amerira aa an ExnRrinianf.

Car Load of the Fruit Brought to
 America as an Experiment..
 A singular consignment of produce and one that may be of significance to the fruit growers of the country was recently received by the surveyor of the port of Kansas City. It is a car load of oranges from Japan, the duty upon which amounted to almost $500. The car arrived from the north, hay ing reached it's destination by way of the Canadian Pacific railway and it's southern connections Accompanying it was Jap, says the Kansas City World.
 Besides being unique as a shipment, the manner of getting 1t to Kansas City is interesting As an uncleared consignment of importation the or nnges came in bonded car under gov ernrnent seal But the routing through the northwest made it necessary to have man in attendance to see that the ear was kept properly heated To accomplish this without infringing on the importation laws a burglar proof cage was constructed in one corner of the car for the occupancy of man. It was in this pen that the little Jap made the long journey
 Oranges from Japan constitute an entirely new commodity of commerce so far as Kansas City receipts are com cerned The shipment received is the first of the kind 10 arrive since the town became port of entry. It is thought that the oranges have been brought to Kansas City for the purpose of experiment. just as a few years ago a ear load of wheat from Odessa, Rus sia, came in and was distributed among prominent Kansas farmers for seed The specimens of oranges are, however, of inferior appearance, being not much larger than a lime. The eX- pense of importing them is so great as to preclude the possibility of estab- fishing an American market for Japa- nese oranges. 1t is probable that the entire car load has been brought here for free distribution by the Japanese government:

Speaking of the enormous amount of money paid out to pensioners by the United States government, an exchange says these payments will not cease for forty y-one more years. Long after taps have been sounded for the last veter- an the government will be paying pensions to soldiers widows. It is presumed that there will be surviving pensioners Of this class as late as 1885. That there is good reason for believing this is shown by the fact that at the end of the last fiscal ear the names of five widows of Revolu- tiohary soldiers were on the pension rolls. On the same date the pensioned widows of the war of 1912 numbered 1,115. These statistics show that the twentieth century will nearly have run its course before the United States will have fully discharged all its obli- gations to the brave men who defend ed it so gallantly in the hour Of it's deadly peril.

Many people have been wondering where England comes in when discus sing the troubles between Russia and Japan The following from the Hart ford Times gives some idea of what the Mother Country expects as a re- suit of the affair: eThere Is degree of coolness approriate to tte.season, In the suggestion of the London Statist, that Russia shall sell out the railway lines she has built ons Chinese terri tory, meaning her great Manchurian line, to an international syndicate Just hand to us the control of your Asiatic railroad system, give up the effort to share in the trade Of the Pa citic, or to possess any useful ports in that part of the world says John Bull to the Russians, ttand all will be peaceful There is considerable ef- frontery in this suggestion, and it is safe to say that the Russian people would tip any czar off his throne very quickly who should favor such a thing. The article in the London newspaper shows what the English financial and official world hopes may happen in the far east.'s

"IF | WERE NOT PRESIDENT"

Roosevelt Says He Would Like Noth- ing Better Than Target Shooting.
 HIf 1 were not president and it would not too badly expose my marksman- ship" said President Roosevelt the oth- CT day when d delegation from the Ma tional Scheutzenbund called at the White House. Il would like nothing better than to go out and take shot with you at the targets The dele gates comprised Heury Kroeger, presi- dent; Fred SchifT and Henry ,Behrens, secretaries. and other officers and mem bers of the executive committee of the National Scheutzenbund. and their mission was to extend to Mir. RoOse- welt an invitation to attend and partic- ipate in the rife shooting festival which is to be held at Scheutzen park, Union Hill, N. J., June 12 to 20. The invita- ton was beautiful piece of pen and ink work by one of the best artists in New York and bound handsomely in black morocco, says the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Pulp lie Ledger. The concluding paragraph of the invitation reads:
 Knowing that you take great inter- est in rife shooting and being an ex- pert shot yourself, we sincerely hope that you will be able to spare few hours of your valuable time and en- courage by your presence the humble efforts of our organization toward mak- ing sharpshooting a national practice and thereby furthering the defensive power of our country.n ...--
 The president said he hoped to see the time when there would be target for rife practice in every little village in the land, for only by the proficiency of the great mass of the citizens of the country in the use of arms could the national defense ultimately be main tained
 The president was obliged to decline the invitation.

This is the month when the cry Remember the Maine. will be heard frequently The fifteenth of. this month will be the anniversary, of the destruction of the Maine. A number of things have happened since that eyentful day. Goldwin Smith, a well known Journalist, writ ing on this question. among other things says: washington itself, now seems openly to confess that the Maine was not blown up by Spanish treachery, but by her own powder. Tacitly the fact was admitted by omit ting to raise the Maine Here sure ly, is lesson for us. To everyone who has read the diplomatic correspondence it must be clear that there was not shadow of justification for the Spanish war. Spain had conceded everything that 1t was possible for her without striking the flag of her honor to con cede. To the pretense that the Unfted States was put to intolerable incon- venience by the conflict in. Cuba, the answer was that the central office Of the rebellion was in New York. The American ambassador at Madrid, a good man, evidently saw that there was no cause for war. Mckinley saw this, too, But the republican party, as J.. M Forbes said, wanted the war to keep it i'm power, and Mckinley wanted the fat of his party for his renomina- ton. The people. though ready to sympathize with any struggle for in- dependence, neither wanted nor ex- peeted it. Then came the blowing up of the Maine. Mckinley knew we'll that it was an accident, and the idea that the Spaniards had done it was absurd Spain offered arbitration. But this, which would have exploded the lie, would not have suited Mckinley's purpose" ~%2sa2

It happened on a certain occasion
that a Bear came out of the forest and
stood for awhile to watch the opera
tions of a threshing machine at work.
When he had admired the way the
teeth separated the kernels from the
straw he advanced to the farmer VINO
was rushing things and said:
AS you will observe, 1 have not yet
rid myself of all my last winters fur.
1t hangs about in shreds and patches,
to my great discomfort, and I have
been wondering if this machine would
not clear me of the last of it?"
why don't you rub up agin black
berry bush?" asked the farmer.
Il have. but the results are not en-
