CAST HIMSELF
UNDER TRAIN
A NEGRO, SUPPOSEDLY TOM LOG.
AN OF ATCHISON, KANSAS, WAS
GROUND TO PIECES BY GOLDEN
STATE LIMITED.

An unknown negro, who was prob
ably Tom Logan, of Atchison, Kan, ac
cording to papers found in his pockets,
committed suicide by throwing him
self in front of the Golden State Lin
tied, a short distance the other side
of the Interpreting plant east of the
city, says the FL Paso News. The
body was literally ground to pieces,
the head being attached to the should
by only a thin shred of flesh.
The only witness to the deed was a
Mexican section hand, who stood near
when the suicide was committed. Ac-
eording to the Mexican's version of
the story, the negro had been sitting
on the track for some little time be-
fore the train appeared. When it came
in sight he arose, and standing until
the train was within a few feet of
him, he deliberately threw himself un-
der the approaching wheels.
The police were notified and in CO.
pany with Captain Greet, Acting Cor
oner Mitchell visited the scene. The
man had been mutilated so badly that
it was found impossible to move him
and the body was ordered buried i'm
mediately.
b negro was unknown here, so
far as anyone has been able to learn.
Baggage checks and part of a ticket
good from FL Paso to Phoenix, Ari.
zona, were found on him. He also had
about ST. in money. In a coat pocket
was found a note addressed to Mrs.
Eliza Logan, AtchisOn, Kan. II read:
In case of accident notify Mrs. Eliza
Logan, AtchisOn, Kansas" The woman
mentioned is believed TO be his wife,
and a telegram has been sent to her
telling OF the death of Tom Logan.

THE SCRATCHER'S
MERITED PRAISE
What She Does to Swell the
COuntry's Financial
Prosperity.
GOVERNMENT STATISTICS GIVEN

With the strength born Of govern
ment statistics. Franklin Forbes con-
tends, in a recent number OF Success
Magazine, that the mother of the
American chicken is at once the most
productive as she is the most reliable
of all of u industrial money makers.
The last census of poultry of the
United States showed that the total
number Of chickens was 233'69S, 0S5;
turkeys, 6,599,36 geese, 5,f76,S63;
and ducks. 1907. 35S. Eighty-eight and
one-eighth per cent of the farms of
this country had poultry as an asset,
At least $50, zoe, 900 chickens, to say
nothing of other kinds of poultry, +
consumed each year.
According to the government au-
thorities the egg and poultry earn
ings' for II recent year amounted to
$500 600. The total value Of the
gold, silver, wool and sneep produced
in America during the year in ques-
ton was S274,434,315.
The sugar production of the country
the same year was but $4,000, 900.
That part of the wheat crop used
at home, which many consider the
most valuable of our agricultural pro-
ducts, was worth 1929, 900 900.
The great American hog, as con-
sumed at home and abroad, brought
$1S6, $685.. a
The value of the oat crop was $751;
9S4,900. Potatoes grown in the United
States were valued at nearly as large
a sum as were the oats.
The product of tobacco plantations
- nGffnanNal 70 L., u-n-th coz go OOE
Cotton, the dethroned king of
staples, could show only $3.50, 161,6 $40,
as against the magnificent earnings OF
its feathered rival.
The crops of flax, timothy, clover,
millet and cane seeds, broom corn,
castor beans. hay, straw, and so forth,
couldn't, all told, come within a meas.
urable distance of many MILLIONS OF
the poultry earnings.
The hens produce in this country
annually would fill 43,127,000 crates
each of the latter holding $50 eggs:
also, a train Of refrigerator carr &c
carry these eggs would be nearly goo
miles long; furthermore, it would take
107,S1S such cars to make up this
train.
The ideal hen, Mr.. Forbes discov
cred through the scientists, should lay
about 200 eggs a year. There are many
gifted creatures of this sort, and mill
ions would be added to the nationa
wealth if all chickens could be per
suaded to- make such performances
their ambition.
Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped investigators prove that the
egg deserves its reputation as ar
easily assimilated and highly nutri
tious food, if eaten raw oil lightly
cooked. Such experiments also show
that eggs at II cents per dozen are
cheap source of nutrients; at 16 cents
somewhat expensive, and at 25 cents
and over highly extravagant.

A RESEMR LANCE.

Jacob Riis, the sociologist, In an
address to a workingmen's club, prais-
ed generosity, says the New York Tri-
bune.

he said. May they grow up gener-
Gus. May none of them grow up into
such a mar as an old banker whom |
knew.
HE is a millionaire, and he lives in
a palace, but his heart is as hard as
steel and as cold as ice.
"One of his men completed, the
other day, his t~wenty-fifth year of
service. For twenty-five years this
honest man had worked for the bank
er faithfully. He and his chief were
both poor at the beginning, but where,
in the quarter century, the banker had
accumulated millions, the faithful,
middle aged ~bookkeeper had only
saved a few hundreds. His salary, you
see, was only S25 a week.
He didn't think the banker would
remember the twenty-fith anniversary
of his engagement, but the old man
did. That morning he handed the
bOokkeeper a sealed envelope.
George he said, today ends the
twenty-fifth year of your work for me,
and you have worked steadily and
well. In this envelope is a memento
