 It has been noticed that when stocks get high enough they 90 down. It has also been noticed that the going down of them is usually accompanied by a more or less attractive and lucid expla- nation of why they go down. This time stocks have dropped with rather unusual rapidity and violence, and the explanation offered by Lawson and some others is Lawson. If Lawson has done what has been done during the last two days he is certainly a mighty man, and he has taken on himself a mighty responsibility. But a man who has undertaken the task of downing the Standard oil Company and ''the system wouldn't be seriously bothered by the responsibility of downing the stock market. It is. we suppose, possi- ble that while he has been made to seem the head and front of the offend- Ing, he may not have been the whole thing. Perhaps number of willy gen. tlemen have been acting with him. or before or behind him. Anyway, the episode has been a very interesting one. It has given Lawson an adver- tisement which will probably be worth something to him, and has again illus trated the beauties and the glories of Wall street Perhaps the whole bust ness was only "a healthy reaction. { This Is one of the phrases which are trotted out after the lambs have been sheared. and is supposed to comfort them for the loss of their money.

that have tried the plan have succeed ed far better than when they had reg ular employment in shops and factor ies. s--.-@
 This year group of fifteen families who had been cultivating vacant-lot gardens formed club and rented nine acres of land. which they subdivided among members. Paying all expenses, including rent of sl5 an acre. while those who worked for wages earned from s9 to SIP a week, the gross re- turns will amount to nearly sS,0OO. or $20O a family. The men thus engaged were largely those who could not find other steady employment; here they worked but about half their time and for only about seven months. But from such partial employment they made more than half the average wage of able-bodied younger men in other pursuits. Had they had sufficient land to employ all their time it is claimed that they would have earned far bet ter subsistence than the ordinary labor CT at current wages.
 The manager of this club farm was a helpless paralytic five years before. Helping his grandchildren cultivate a plot assigned to them. he began to inl- prove in health. Besides his duties as manager he has this year been cultiva- ting five acres on his own account, and he now walks without even a cane. An amusing instance is that of how sixty families entered upon the cultivation of a vacant tract of eighteen acres whose owner had been unwilling to permit it's use. The owner then be- came interested and allowed them to proceed. The results amounted to at least twenty cents an hour for all the time devoted to the work. There were no finer gardens to be found in the city. The Philadelphia association employs men out of work at 2 wage of sl.25 a day. The proceeds from the sale of produce go into the treasury. In it's second year the association found that it could have paid a wage of forty cents an hour without a deficit. The most gratifying thing about this vacant-lot gardening is the way in which many persons are made permanently self ! helpful.

MIST NOT AL BE KIE1Ep.

William Fattig, who lives near Forbes. Missouri. has been thinking over the election, and the result of his thinking is that he believes he holds a commission from the President to kill all Democrats. He started in by shoot ing at MT. Hodgen. of Forbes, but only succeeded in putting q bullet through his coat.
 Mir. Fattig has a rather exaggerated notion of his mission in life. Of course President Roosevelt has not authorized him to kill all the Democrats. Presi- dent Roosevelt or any other right-mind- ed man doesn't want them all killed. They are nearly extinct now. as the last count showed. And they are such curi- ous and interesting animals that they should not be allowed to wholly die out, any more than the buffalo should be. Let us cherish the few remaining Democrats and preserve the species from destruction at the hands of a hunter like Fattig. or any other. We want at least enough of them to stock the public menagertes with, so that the children can see specimens of what once roamed over this country and seemed too many and too powerful to ever reach their present poor condition.

ENcOUR AGING.

The Vacant Lots Cultivation Associ- ation of Philadelphia seems to have done a good work this year, as it has before. About eight hundred families have this year been occupied in culti- vating vacant-lot gardens. The aim has been to bring the work as quickly as possible to self-supporttag basis, 50 as to free 1t from all pauperizing in fiuences. The first year each quarter acre garden cost the association $1s,25. This has been reduced from year to year until now 1t is not over s5. The
 more efficient gardeners have been en- couraged to undertake some sort of employment on their own account; small farms near the city have been encouraged; in many case

e Our consul at Frankfort reports the settlement of an issue long in dispute in Germany. Purchasers have con- tended that the practice of submerg- ing asparagus in water to prevent its whitening or hardening lessened its value and added to it's weight. Dealers held that the process merely kept the asparagus fresh and did it no harm. The gardeners union submitted the question to experts at the experimental institute at Geisenheim-on Rhine. Drs. Windisch and Schmidt in due time reported that the absorption of water by submerged asparagus is not incon- siderable, the weight being increased about 10 per cent. in two days. More over it loses some of it's nutritious com ponents, especially those containing nj trogen and mineral matter.

 King Christian of Denmark is prob ably the most democratic of all reign ing monarchs. The people of Copen- hagen betray no surprise when they see their venerable ruler approaching and they treat his appearance in the streets as one of the ordinary daily in cidents. King Christian takes his walks abroad quite informally and without ceremony. Frequently he stops and ex- changes unaffected greetings with pass ersby Indeed, but for the lifting of hats or other salutations, as he pro ceeds along the street the uniformed observer would never take the stately white-haired man with the kindly face to be a king.

when he encountered a funeral.
A long line of coaches was behind
the hearse. which was moving
along at a lively rate. The negro
was superstitious, and did not
want to cross between the car
riages in the funeral procession.
He tried to drive around in front
of the hearse but could not make
sufficient speed. After driving
alongside the hearse for two
blocks the negro called out to the
driver: "Say, boss, hold up an
