high complaint. "You can't never tell
which half it is. Look at him now"
The gentleman referred to was stand
ing over in front Of the hotel talking
to row of coatless loungers, who sat
with their chairs tilted back against
the props Of the wooden awning that
projected over the sidewalk. Their
faces were turned toward the court
house, and even those lost in medita-
tive whiting had looked up to laugh.
Mr. Martin, one Of his hands thrust in
a pocket of his alpaca coat and the 9th
er softly caressing his wiry, gray chin
beard, his rusty silk hat tilted forward

bridge of, his nose, was addressing
them in one keyed voice, the melan-
choly whine Of which, though not the
words, penetrated to the courthouse
steps.

as Schofelds' Henry popularly abbre-

editor, who. having bade the bell ring

and crossed the street to meet him.

city ought to be Of Schofelds'," he said
mournfully as they shook hands; "but

CHANGE FOR TWO KINGDOMS.
Korea and Norway Both Changed

The past week has been an eventful
one for two of the smaller nations OF

The Korean emperor remains the
head of the Hermit empire, but the
real authority will be exercised by a
Japanese administrator.
Had Russia won in that war Korea
would have become a Russian prov
ince. Japan having won, it becomes a
Japanese protectorate.
Under the resascence in Norway
that kingdom will have an opportunity

REPORT OF SECRETARY WILSON
Of AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
Farms Produced $e,415, 900, ooo-stu-
pendous Sum the Record for Any
Country for Single Year-Agricul-
lure in United States Shows Marvel.
GUS Wealth of Nation.

wealth production on the farms of
the United States in 1905 reached the
highest amount ever attained in this
or any other country-$6,415,0 900 900.
In the first annual report of his third
term Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
presents an array of figures and
statement representing the products
and profits of the farmers of this coun-
try. which he admits dreams OF
wealth production could hardly equal"
Four crops make new high records
as to value-corn, hay, wheat and rice
although in amount of production
the corn crop is the only one that ex-
ceeds previous yields. In every crop
the general level of production was
high and that of prices still higher.
Resides the enormous yield OF
wealth, the secretary estimates that
the farms of the country have in
creased in value during the past five
years to a present aggregate of $6,1SS,
100000.
EVERY sunset during the past tiv'
years" he says, has registered an IN
crease of $3,400,00O in the value Oh tn'
farms of this country"
This increased value, the secretar.
suggests, is invested better than Il
bank deposits and gilt edged bonds
private corporations.
The method of handling crop re
ports, he says. has been thorough
renovated during the year. There ais
has been a decided change in tn
methods of work prescribed for tiel
agents. Each agent is now confine
to a definite group of states, wit
which it becomes thoroughly familia
by travel each month.
Analysing the principal crops for u
year. the secretary says that cor
reached its highest production
2.7OS, 100000 bushels, gain OF 42'Oo'
900 bushels over the next highest yea
1899; hay is second in order OF Valu
although cotton held second place du
ing the two preceding years.
The hay crop this year is valued
$6O5, 100000.
