baby and a manly boy, too, that was
certain.
We'll, If l must I must. Now,
Jamie, If you'll stop crying this very
minute I'll have the curls cut off this
afternoon"
Sunbeams broke out all over Jamie's
face and dried up the tears.
"Oh, mamma! An pants, too! Can
have pants"
"We'll see."
That night when papa came home
there was a strange boy at the gate
to meet him. A boy with a crop of
yellow bristles, and trousers with
pockets, and a face as, jolly as a har-
vest moon.
Hello, pop! See me. I'm real boy
now"
Jamie's manly traits began to de-
velop rapidly. He stamped heavily
when he came into the house and
threw his hat at the hall rack instead
Of hanging it up as he had been

chummy with the boys.

Cold Mine 5000 Feet Deep.

The deepest gold mine in the world
Is said to be at Bendigo, Australia. 1t
Is called the New Chum mine, and its
main shaft Is sunk to depth Of three
quarters of a mile. The most difficult
problem of working q mine Of such
depth is how to keep the tunnels and
general workings cool enough for the
miners to work. The temperature is
usually about 1O8 degrees, and this Is,
of course, greatly enervating. To make
it possible for the men to work at all a
spray Of cold water is let down from
above and kept continually playing on
their bodies. They are naked from the

Minding His own Business.

Wallace Cummings used to drive
the old stage which ran between
Bridgton and Portland. One day Wal
lace had as a passenger out of Port
land a young city chap or dude, as
Wallace called him. The scenery
along the stage route was both beau
tiful and diversified: the young man
was much interested, and as he sat
on the box, or post of honor, beside
Wallace literally piled him with ques-
tions as to what mountain that was
and what river this was, etc.
The old driver, who detested this
sort Of Interrogation, stood it as long
as he could. Finally he blurted out:
"Say, stranger, if you'll mind your
business III mind mine"
Thus snubbed, the young man re-
lapsed into silence.
They had driven about ten miles
farther when they came to long hill,
where the driver was obliged to apply
the brake. AS he showed his foot to-
ward it he Immediately noticed that
the mail bag, which always lay there,
was gone. Evidently it had dropped
of along the road.
Wallace stopped his horses; then,
breaking the long silence, he said:
Say, stranger, did you see that mail
bag slide off?'
"Yes, 1 did; some ten miles back"
calmly remarked the young man.
"Well, why in thunder didn't you
tell me?" gasped the astonished
driver
The dude" looked him squarely in
the eye for a moment, and then ne
drawed, initiating Wallace's tone:
"Say, driver, you mind your business
and I'll mind mine"
The rest Of the journey was driven
In cold silence.-Boston Herald.

RaIIread Rate Lsglslatlon.

Teatitying before the senate commit
tee at Washington, Interstate Conn
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give that
commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates -
i think the railways should make
their own rates. I think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi-
ness. have never advocated any law,
and am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making
power into the hands Of any commits
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some
countries, am opposed TO IL. . =
The railway rate is property. 1t is all
the property that the railway has got.
The rest of its property 10 not good for
anything unless it can charge rats.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
i p \ Z F 81
should contiscate the property Of rail-
road; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When you
pat in rate that is inherently unrea-
sonable, you have deprived that COM
pany of it's rights, Of it's property, and
the circuit court of'the United States
has Jurisdiction under the Fourteenth
amendment to restrain that. go
l have looked at these cases great
many times, and I can only come to
the conclusion that q railroad COM
pany is entitled to charge a fair and
reasonable rate, and if any order of a
commission, if any statute of state
legislature takes away that rate, the
Fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company"

THEIR YEARS ARE WASTED
Extravagant Habits Rob Ball Players
of Benefit of Big Salaries.

SahT haDlCS Rob Bell Players
of BENEFIT of Big Salaries.
The worst fault of the baseball busi-
ness Is that it teaches young men the
hablt Of extravaganza and high living,
writes Jimmy Ryan, once one Of the
best. Naturally the players on each
great team are lauded as heroes by
their admirers; the newspapers are full
of accounts Of their doings; they meet
hundreds Of good felloWs'' who want
them to drink, smoke or carouse with
them. They meet sports" Of wealth
and they try to initiate these sports" j."
They spend their money for rich
clothes, wines, costly cigars and dia-
monds, and usually when they are sud-
denly confronted with a ten days. no.
tice of release the diamonds are about
all that they have left to shcw for the
earnings of years. The old d-timers were
more reckless in this regard than the
new generation of ball players, but
there are enough youngsters now
wasting money.
To me it is a sad commentary on the
game to see the great stars of other
days toiling as day laborers. The
greatest pitcher Of them all is digging
bitches in Indianapolis; perhaps the
greatest inieider the world has known
is clerking in cigar store at $12 a
week. have seen him spend $500 in
one night. l find them in cheap sa-
looms, on police forces, i'll city jobs,
but few in any established business
and still fewer accommodating wealth
They wasted their years Of time on
the ball field and wasted the money
that they earned.
At the end Of baseball career the
player is usually left stranded in the
business world. He gains false idea
Of his own Importance from the cheers
| of the croWd-and the crowd forgets
him almost as soon as he gets out OF
his uniform. He depends upon some
Of his powerful friends to get him @
position when ne gets through. The
end usually comes with startling sud
denness. The friends that he relied
upon are not 30 friendly to a back
number as to a brilliant player. HI

Any business man of long expert

college man at the first brush, says a
man in business. 1 had an experience
with one Of them a short time ago.
When l first talked with him he was
willing to accept" a position If it paid
500 month, for instance!
l turned him out in one minute and
thirty seconds, asking that he call
again about the middle Of the next
week. He came-that Is the charac-
teristic of the college man, by the way.
l jumped on him before he got his
breath from the walk upstairs. ask
ed him If he knew about how much his
hrst three mistakes in the place he
wanted would cost the house? He
didn't, of course. l asked him If he
knew just how much more he might be
worth to me or to another employer if
he could assure me or them that there
He thought he did.
Then came down to the brass tacks
Of the whole question:
How long," l said, twill it take for
you to forget in the first place that you
belong to one of the oldest families in
Virginia; how long to forget that you
were the valedictorian of your class;
how long to lose recollection of your
having proposed accepting a position
at $I00 month, and to make up your
mind that if allow you to fill place
here at $50 month for the first year
you will be fortunate young MANI"
He was hurt. An old friend Of mine
had been an old friend Of the young
mans father. He said he would call
the next afternoon, and he came.
II am ready to 60 to work in the
morning, he said, simply. He has
been at work ever since, too, and If he
keeps to the gait he is going 1 shall be
stuck into paying him $50 q week IN

HOW PRIZE BETS ARE RAISED.

John p HolmgrcD Of Bear River
city, Utah, explains how he grew a
big crop Of sugar beets in 1904, and
captured the special prize offered by
the sugar company for the best yield.
Here is what he says: "The soil on
which i grew my beets Is sand loan,
on which alfalfa was grown for twelve
years. In the spring Of 1908 p!owed
IL about eight inches deep, narrowing
it thoroughly to get most Of the alfalfa
roots on the surface, then seeded 1t to
oats, which yielded heavily. In the
spring OF 1904 plowed the land nine
inches deep and covered all old roots
because they are nourishment for the
beet. Some people haul them OIL their
land.) narrowed well, then fioated
land lengthwise and crosswise, which
made perfectly smooth, mellow seed
bed. Planted seed April Is, one and
one half inches deep, Is lbs. to the acre.
Stand was excellent. Began thinning
as soon as most beets had four leaves.
Early thinning is one secret OF sue
cess. AS soon as thinned began to
cultivate them shallow to kill any
weeds between rows and to retain
moisture. When first thinning was
completed / began second thinning
and hoeing,out all weeds visible. They
were thinned from to 10 inches apart
and no double beets allowed. We
cultivated them six times during the
summer, this some people consider
excessive, but it retains the moisture
and less irrigation is necessary, there
by causing the beets to grow longer.
We had many beets Is inches long and
some over feet long. Our land is
well leveled so that beets don't get
flooded. They don't do so we'll when
flooded. They were kept clean from
weeds. Weeds take some punishment
and considerable moisture. A potato
crop grown on alfalfa ground previous
to beet crop, we have found, will give
a larger yield Of beets than oats or
other grain previous to beets."
