wanted a Buggy.

A young fellow of my acquaintance
has just returned from Illinois where
he went last Fall to seek his fortune.
The cause of his leaving his ''happy
home" was that he wanted to buy
new buggy, and when he approached
the Governor" on the subject the old
gentleman said: "Sonny, get up ev-
cry morning at o'clock and feed, par
take of my breakfast and go into the
field, leaving you asleep. For six
months your only duty has been to
keep sufficient stove wood on hand to
cook the meals, but about half the time
l have to split it-only last evening
when l came in from work l cut the
wood to cook supper while you sat in
the easy chair and read Set Adrift By
Pirates No-sirree, you can't have
the buggy" This caused a parting of
the ways, and the youngster asked the
father to give him SIS. and he would
branch out for himself. The old man
drew his wallet and gave him $25. and
the son departed. In three weeks a
letter came from the prodigal in Illinois
in which he strongly intimated that far
off cows had longhorns, and that there
was no place like bluegrass. The let
ter was never answered. At intervals
of two weeks the father received two
more letters, but did not reply to them.
Two weeks later when the father came
in from the field at noon the son was
sitting on the fence at the front gate.
''Pa, are you glad TO see met" he
asked. ''Well l hadn't become lone
some. my boy" 81 am here to stay"
"All right; there are thirty acres for
corn, fifteen for tobacco and fifty for
wheat-light in and you can soon have
a buggy, but no rubber tire goes"
The son has buckled down and no young
man is working harder. If he keeps
up his present ticks he will soon have
money enough to buy an automobile.

In many parts of western Kansas
land has doubled in value within the
past two years. Thousands of wheat
farmers have harvested enough wheat
in one year to pay for their lands.
Crops in that section have not made a
failure in six years. Alfalfa is also re-
sponsible, in a measure, for the adj
vance in the price of land. That has
become a standard in the West, and ii
nets farmer as much profit as does
either corn or wheat, and often more.
Frequently the seed crop alone will
bring $25. an acre. And the straw
from the seed crop is licked up as clear
by the cattle as hay.

The President.

Not since the breaking up of the
Civil War has the student of politics
been presented with situation so in
teresting as the present. The recent
campaign was remarkable because of
the absence of any strong line of de-
marcation between the two principal
political parties.
The only parties having a chance to
win represented boldly the conserva-
tive or otherwise the capitalistic fac
ton. With apparently no choice, the
people selected the old party of radi.
cal conservatism, and with it the great
representative of conservative radi
calism in internal affairs.
Any doubt of this proposition ha!
vanished since President Roosevelt ha.
received the Endorsement of the PEG
pie.
With inconoclastic hand he is at
tempting to sweep down the most cher
ished, idols of the monopolists. Tn

trust presented nothing sacred in his
mind.
Only those interested and their per-
sonal representatives, the American
House of Lords, seemed displeased.
So firmly entrenched with capitalistic
clients were the Senators that the
closest friend of the President refused
to support him on what may be regard
ed as test vote of the situation.
More remarkable, however, is the
support he is receiving from Democrats
varying from John Sharp Williams and
William Sulzer down to Jack Chinn.
The destruction of monopolies or the
curbing of them to legal bounds means
the withdrawal of rich mines from the
political leaders, and President Roose-
welt need expect no support from the
machine" men of either leading
party.
What, then, will be his course ?
The leader of new dispensation in
politics may be forced into the leader
ship of a new party.
Those who know the President are
aware that he believes the greatest
good is to be accomplished by working
within his own party.
The developments of the near future
will determine whether the President s
party is susceptible to these reforms or
whether the movement he has formed
will sweep him away from it, despite
his own desires. Elizabethtown News.

Initiating a Monkey to Lure Tiger.

To call a tiger the proceeding was
as follows: The Mikir, having first as
certained that a tiger was in the
neighborhood, would climb into well
branched leafy tree situated near
where he supposed the tiger to be-,
and after hiding himself among the
branches as best he could, would COM
mence to initiate the chattering OF a
monkey, and break and drop twigs in
the way that monkeys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
a bundle Of rags, weighted so that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as If baby monkey had tum.
bled down from the tree, and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be
the supreme moment, for If tiger
were near it would often spring out,
in the hope Of swapping up such a
dainty morsel as young monkey, and
then a bullet from the gun Of the hid.
den Mikir might find it's billet in the
tigers body. BY this means the Mikir
was said to have killed a considerable
number of tigers, and certainly the
mans power of mimicry was wonder.
fully good.
The call for deer was of an en-
tirely different nature, the sound imi-
tated being the cry Of a fawn, and as
this cry sometimes attracted tigers,
too, it had to be adopted with eau
tion, because it was used only in
open grass land, from which the cal
ler would not have had much chance
to escape were a tiger suddenly to
put In an appearance.-London Field.

LACE OF NATURES MAKING:
A Fabric That Is Airi1y LiSht-Woven OF
Various Tree Barks.

A Fabric That Is Airily LiSht-Woven OF
Various Tree Barks.
There are in all about half dozen
lace-bark trees in the world, so-called
because the inner bark yields natural
lace in ready-made sheet form which
can be made up in serviceable articles
Of apparel Only four Of these curious
species of trees are Of much practical
value.
Tourists who have stopped at Ha-
waii or Samoa may recall the lace
bark clothing Of the natives-clothinS
of a neat brown color when new, Of re-
markable strength and Of fragrant
odor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf.
The native ''tapa" cloth, as it is called,
is made from the bark of the Bruso-
netia papirifera, but is not usually
included among the real lace-bark
trees.
Of the lace-bark trees yielding pure
snowy lace Of utility, We nave on the
Pacific side of the hemisphere the
Sterqulia acerifolia Of Australia (also
called flame tree" in allusicn to its
snowy red f1owerD, and in Maori Land
the Plagianthus betulinus. On the At
lantic side there is only one lace-yield-
ing tree so far known-the Lageta lin
terra Of the Caribbean Islands. or the
Dafne tenuifolia of South America l
have never been able to discover a sim
gle specimen, despite careful search,
nor have I ever met anyone who mas
seen the tree growing in South America.
In its natural state the lace-bark is
of a most delicate cream-white tint.
1t is probably kind of fbrous pith.
When the outer bark is removed, it can
be unfolded and unwound in one seam
less piece, having surface Of little
more than a square yard. Washing
and sun bleaching give it dazzling
white appearance. It has a faint,
agreeable odor not unlike that of fresh
ly split bamboo. The fabric is airily
light. 1t is used in the West Indies
for mantillas. cravats. collars, cuffs,
window curtains; in word, for every
purpose that ordinary lace is used.
In making up shawls, wells and the
like it is customary to piece two sheets
Of lace-bark together. Delicate and
apparently weak as it is in single
mesh, a bit of lace-bark, if rolled into
a thin string, will all but resist hui
man strength to break it. In string,
braided, and rope form it is used for
making up the light lace-bark harness
of the tropics.
Despite its practical use, there is no
essential demand for lace-bark any
more than for the edelweiss Of the
Alps. It has been used by the natives
for hundreds of years, and yet is COM
paratively little known to this day. A
few specimens Of the lace-bark articles
are believed to exist in different coun-
tries of Europe. These were made
some hundreds Of years ago, yet,
although their age is considerable, they
are said to be in a good state Of pres.
ervation.-Scientific American.
