Taste For Chocolate Increasing.

The taste Of the people of the United
States for cacao and chocolate appears
to be developing with rapidly, says
writer in Harper's Weekly. Figures
compiled by the Department of Com
merce and Labor show the importa-
ton of cacao has grown from 1900, 600
pounds in 1883 to 24,OO0.0OO in 1893,
and 63,O00,000 pounds in 1908. Cacao,
as is well understood. is the product
of the cacao tree, which grows wild
in tropical America, and is also much
cultivated there, and to some extent
in Asia and Africa. The fruit of this
tree, pears shaped pod. from five to
ten inches in length, contains numer-
GUS large seeds from which the choco-
late of commerce is produced, while
the shells, are also utilized for the de-
coction known known as cacao, or CO.
Goa, used as a substitute for tea or
coffee. 1t is the crude cacao lenves
and shells which form the large and
rapidly growing importation above re-
ferred to, which has increased from
100000 pounds in 1883 to $4,000, 600
pounds IN 1908. The value Of importa-
tons of cacao in this crude form has
grown from 100000 in 1883 to $4,-
100000 in 1898, and nearly $4,000, 600
in 1903. -----

The words were spoken and Tracy
turned to meet her. Alas! this Edith
was not his Edith, but only an elderly
Scotch spinster. Tracy never knew
how he lived through that evening,
but when be returned to his room and
his Edith he was more hopeIessIy her
slave than ever. II will find you some
time" he cried, passionately, lin spite
Of the world and fatei' The world
and fate, be it understood, were repre-
scented by his hostess and her innocent
cousin.
The winter drew to close, and
Tracy was growing hopeless. Should
he start out in quest of her, he asked
himself But what a hopeless questl
Should he follow Seymour and ask,
as incidentally as possible, his Edith's
nameg But to brand himself an idiot
in Seymour's eyes was distasefuI in
the extreme.
1t was Saturday, and Tracy was on
his way to an afternoon reception.
No hope Of finding Edith led him thith-
er, but one of his friends had asked
him to help entertain her guests. He
waited for moment in the antecham-
Der, realizing from the voices that only
girls were in the adjoining room.
Then he heard name that made his
heart stand still.
Don't tell me, Edith Seymour, that
you have worn his picture ever since.
Yes, have. You can call it silly
if you like, but of all the kodaks that
L took from Yokohama to Montreal,
his was the only one that came out.
OF course, there was fate in that.

Speaker Cannon is one of those gifted
individuals who can seem to storm
through his life roughshod and never
breakean eggshell.. He talks uncouth,
agriclkrleal English, punctuated with
tobacco jtflee and explosive profanity.
The great American people tramples
on itself with the desire to grasp him
by the buttonhole as soon as his speech
is over. His campaign clothes never
fit him, and one leg of his trousers is
always pulled up enough to show that
he wears white yarn socks. Yet scan
dalous things are told of Uncle Joe;
they say in Washington, for instance,
that no mans dress coat hangs more
smoothly over the shoulders; that no
mans patent leather shoes gIisten more
splendidly or are tied with a more
graceful silken bow. Go tell one Of
the Speakers constituents that; the
constituent will laugh. He will say:
Now, don't you go worrying your
self about Joe. He don't wear them
fine things because he likes to. It's
just to get somethin' or other outer the
people he's mixin' with. Joe's just as
plain and straight as you an /. I
feel this way about Joe: He amt got
much Of way of sayin' things, an he
don't put thrills up and down your
back. But he's got sense. An if a
thing is good enough for him, it's good
enough for me."-Everybody's Maya

Iananess in u. S. Army.

1t may not be generally known that
the United States Army of the future
will include command of Japanese
soldiers, but this is fact. They will
not come from the armies which are
fighting in the Far East, but will be
enrolled from our Japanese citizens in
the Sandwich Islands. 1t is needless
to say that very large proportion Of
the population of the islands, and es-
pecially of Honolulu, is composed of
this nation. They are found among
the bankers, merchants and profess
sional men, and are included among
the wealthiest residents of the city.
One of the principal schools of Hon
olulu is attended exclusively by Jap
anese children, and here has been en-
rolled a command of cadets which Is
to be mustered into the United States
militia as soon as its members are old
enough. 1t is drilled by foreign Jap
anese army officer, and although organ
lied but a few years ago, this battal-
ion has already attained high stand
ard of efficiency. 1t is frequently seen
on parade in Honolulu and attracts
much attention-New York Herald.

When liked, the lining can be cut
away beneath the yoke, giving trans

Iong Driye For one Team.

t. Seymour Smith, of Franklin, KY,
is probably the only man in the world
who can boast Of having driven the
same team of horses 10000 miles. Mr..
Smith was in business for seven years,
and was required to drive over the en-
tire United States. He figured that
every day he worked he drove the
team twenty miles, making total in
seven years of 10000 miles. He start

The WakeIeas Anto Roat.

1t is a deep-draught boat that leaves
turbulent wake, but auto boats are
all above the water, being made, as It
were, to skim over the smooth surface
from wave to wave, like shell,
leaving hardly ripple behind. And
for this reason they are capable Of high
speed in even rougher water than that
Of the Harlem. Not long since the
Standard left Sandy Hook in company
with the Monmouth, admittedly the
fastest steamer in New York Harbor,
and in spite Of the chop in the bay and
the quartering seas from tho propelIers
of outgoing steamers, the automobile
boat reached the Battery, a distance Of
approximately twenty miles, fifteen
minutes ahead Of the Monmouth

A Fitting Response.

The little daughter of a Brooklyn
Heights clergyman had an early dinner
the other evening and posted Off to
see a girl friend. She was cautioned,
in case she should find the family still
at the table. TO decline an invitation
to dine, which would probably be ex-
tended, by saying, NO, think you, I've
already dined.''
AS was expected, the family had not
finished dinner and her little friends
father said:
"Well, Marjorie, won't you have a
bite with us?''
NO" she politely said, "I've already
bitten, thank YOU"

A Parable Of To-day.

A woman lost two little charms, the
joint gift Of God and good man. she
hunted long for them. She searched in
parlor, in ballroom and In theatre. She
crowded men from the great gaunt
buildings, where they earned their
bread, and hunted there for her lost
jewels. She did things that made the
world take a quick little breath and
then call her a good fellow But
she found them not. Weary and worn,
she went back to the beginning, aud

found the two white stones" and
