Growth or European Formulation.

OrOWtH OI EurOpeHn I'OpuIatIOns
Few persons have any idea of tho
extraordinary manner in which tho
population of Europe has increased
during the last century. According to
statisticians this population has more
than doubled itself from 1880 to 1900.
To this increase the Latin nations Of
the west and southwest contributed
the least and the greatest growth was
in the east, where the people have
not yet become thoroughly saturated
with the ideas OF modern civilization.

In St Louis hospital young woman
whose husband had left her gave
birth to a child. She was very poor
young woman, friendless and unfortu-

the advice of some humane person, she
agreed to leave her infant for adop-

went away to her home in remote
part Of Missouri.
"The child was adopted by a we'll
to-do family at Litchfeld, Ill. There
for several months it was cared for
tenderly. Then, one day, the mother
appeared on the scene. Her husband,
having acquired some means, had re-

"The mother brought proceedings in
court for the recovery Of the child.
The case brought big crowd Of farm
ing folk one day into the courtroom
at Hillsboro, the county seat of Mont
gomery County. Judge Phillips, after
ward of the Supreme Court Of Illinois,
presided. The case lasted far into the
night and the scene in the crowded
and lighted courtroom was dramatic.
The rival claimants for the little NOR.
sel Of humanity of course were there,
the mother pale and anxious, the other
woman with the child, beautifully
dressed in rich materials, in her lap.
While the woman who had adopted
the child was giving her testimony
the Judge directed that the mother be
allowed to hold it. The affecting way
the parent wept over and caressed the
child, and the way it clung and cud-
died to her, as If by instinct, produced
deep impression in court.
1T was after midnight when Judge
Phillips rendered his decision to the
effect that there having been no regu
lar legal form Of adoption the child
should be returned to its mother, The
latter, on hearing this, tainted ant
was carried out Of the courtroom
Then the other woman with stern de
termination proceeded before the spec
tntors to strip the baby of all its cost

WHAT MExicANs EAT
:Grense Plays mn In,T,ortfant Part In
Th eli Rich DIST, es.

The farther south one goes the
more important par1 meat seems TO
play in the diet III old Mexico the
people of the upper class have highly
seasoned roasts and steaks and game
three times every day. The roasts
are stuffed with raisins. and a rich
brown gravy is poured over them.
Grease seems more indispensable to
them than to the fur enveloped Es-
kimos. There are no broiled steaks.
but in their place one is served with
a half raw piece of tendecloin reek-
ing with grease and peculiarly favored
herbs. In that balmy cline. where
the system would be SO much better
off without any meats, thousands of
steaks are sold daily at As and 80 cents
a pound. The poorer classes are forced
to abstain from such and live on the
coarse frijole beans and cold clammy
tortillas. which are thin white corn
cakes made from rye hominy crushed
to pulp. This forms their UNMARRIED
diet On the aristocrats' tables are the
most delicious fruits, chiramoyas,
zipotes. mangoes and others which
Americans have never tasted. The
popular aSuacates is a cross between
a fruit and n nut. It is q dark green
and the flesh is about the consistency
of ointment. It grows on a tree of
unparalleled dark green foliage and is
used often in the place Of butter or
is made into a toothso1ne salad.
Rich soups, with bananas chopped in
them. are served every day. and veSe-
tables dressed with goats cream are
on their tables. At every meal during
the year they eat the frijole beans,
which have been dipped into brown
pottery bowl OF boiling lard before
they are brought to the table The
Mexicans eat enough lard to under
mine the digestion of the stoutetst be-
ing. Sirup is a great delicacy and
very expensive. 1t is served as sort
OF dessert in little china saucers and
is eaten from spoons. Little bits of
native candies are also served in sepa-
rate plates.-Farm and Ranch.

From the Washington PostJ
You often hear of men running up
a small sum of money into good big
bank roll, but l did something once
in Omaha that, SO far as know, beats
all records when the amount original
ny invested is considered" said E. w.
Gaylord, of New Orleans.
81 was waiting in Omaha for re
mittance from my firm, and, having
no coin about me, was feeling in that
lonesome state that the moneyless
man alone can appreciate. To kill
timeI walked into a gambling house,
having not the remotest idea Of doing
aught save watching the players. AS
l stood in the vicinity of the roulette
wheel I mechanically thrust my hand
into a pocket of my vest and ex
tracted lone dime that did not
know was on my person. I actually
felt ashamed to put it on anything.
but something whispered it might
win, and, sure enough, when the
wheel stopped my coin had won.
Again l won: and again until that 10
cent piece had brought me in SO.
This is pretty good interest,
thought. and cashed in, taking my So
and moving over to the stud poker
game and investing in chips. My
luck followed me here, likewise, and
ran up my stakes to SIS in less than
80 minutes. Considering what big
return this was, I began to feel
chilly sensation at my pedal extremi-
ties, and, as it was near the dinner
hour, / made this an excuse for quit

weary you with the details OF my
play, but from the very jump the
fortune that had been with me earlier
in the day stuck. I held the most
marvellous series CT hot hands ever
known, straights, Pushes and fulls
without end and several sets OF fours,
and Oh nearly all of them got good

CHARLES H. LEEDS, OF STAN
FORD, CT, FINDS "THEoRiES
DON'T RUN GOVERN

STANFORD, CT, Aug. 3.-Mayor
Chas. Henry Leeds, who was elected
mayor as a Democrat by big ma
jority twoEyears ago, announced this
afternoon that he would vote for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks and would
do all in his power to bring about
caused sensati ton in Democratic cir
cles, because the local Democratic or
ganization had made all plans to
nominate Mr.. Leeds this fall.
He had made such good record
that it was considered he would be
sure of reelection. and it was counted
he would help out the entire Demo-
cratic ticket in Stamford. A few
minutes before Mr.. Leeds made his
decision public a representative of
the organization had a talk with him
and urged Mr.. Leeds to withhold his
announcement, but the young mayor
would not change his course. His
statement in part is as follows:
Early in the year l admitted the
probability that l would vote the Re
publican ticket in the approaching Ma
tional election; saying, however, that
II would postpone my final decision
until after the adoption OF the plat
forms and nomination of candidates
by the National conventions. The
platforms have now been published,
the candidates nominated and several
weeks have elapsed. During these
weeks I have devoted much time to
study of the situation.
81 have decided to vote for Roose-
welt and Fairbanks. My ideas of
change since became mayor When
/ was elected I was heart and soul
Democrat, and honestly believed the
best ends of the city and the State
would be attained by advancing the
principles of the Democratic party, but
have discovered that theories don't
run governments. l have found that
the best practical results are. achieved
by Republicans. and that is true from
the National government down to the
city,

three years he was 4 member of the
New York Stock Exchange, selling his
seat in 1900 because he took up poll
tics. He contributed to Bryan's cam
paign fund two years ago. During his
term as mayor he has made a record
for independence. In his appoint |
ments and on public questions he cut
away from the machine element in |
the party. AS he is wealthy the
Democrats were willing to give him
a place on the State ticket. 1t was
thought that between his purse and |
his record as mayor he would make a
good showing. His decision has
spoiled all these plans.
