IN this country all would be well. There

makes it an inflexible rule that no
servant of his shall take a tin. When

among them S35 was subscribed. With

DR.. Gustav c. E. Weber, of Clsve-
land, Ohio, recently consul at Nurem-
burg IS one of the pioneer doctors of
his city. Years ago he was visited by
a young man who required surgical
operation, but explained that he was
only getting fifty dollars a month and
would have to pay by installment.
Weber said he would risk it and it took
the youth about a year to pay up.
The lad was John D. Rockefeller, and
only a short time ago he sent for
Weber, asking for medical advice, there
having been recurrence of the trouble
for which Weber had operated forty
years ago. Weber made an examina-
tion and told Mr.. Rockefeller that any
medical student could do it and that
he himself was out of practice Rookie
feller opened drawer, counted out
$500, and handing the roll to Weber
remarked, "It does not take so long
to pay the bill this time" Weber de-
clined the money, saying he wished no
fee for friendly visit. "Take it," said
Rockefeller, "and give to some poor
medical student, who is struggling for
his education" Weber remarked in
telling the story that he couldn't think
of any struggling medical student just

THE FIRST COMPLETED GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION CANAL.

shown by the various expert estimates
which place the additional area which
can be irrigated at from 75,000,OOO to
100,000,000 acres. The government
plan as provided for in the irrigation
law is to store the flood waters of the
western rivers. reclaiming this land
as fast as possible; but the settlers
who take the land are required to
pay back to the government the cost
of the construction of each project, so
that the actual expense to the gov
ernment will all be paid. The final
estimates of the possibilities of in
creased population are one person to
each irrigated acre, so that there
seems Il future population for the
West as great or greater than the to-
tai population of the country to-day.
Ten or twenty acres, in the more high
ly developed irrigation sections of the
West is stated to be sufficient for the
support of Il family, owing to the
fact that under irrigation numerous
and sure crops can be raised. In the
Southwest, three or four crops are
grown on the same land each year.

The extent of the government irri-
CATION problem is indicated by a rec
ent schedule issued by the Reclama-
ton Service of the Interior Depart
ment, showing that the work of re-
claiming the desert is well under way.
At this time the government plan in
various stages of progress requiring
the expenditure of $32,S70,000, which
will supply water for the irrigation of
/. .S39, 900 acres of land, the expense
being $3.50 per acre. Other govern
ment reports estimate that there are
about 6OO,OOOOOO acres of so-called
arid land, whose chief products are
sage brush and cactus. This amounts
to more than one-third of the United
States, and out of W ich might be
carved four countries the size of
France four more as large as Ger
many and two states as large as New
York. Private enterprise has reclaim
ed about 100000 of this domain,
which is to-day the backbone of the
West. The enormous possibilities of

not been exterminated, and is very
common in those great dry stretches
of the continent where man has not
crowded it to death and where the
sage brush grows. To say that this
bird has it's home in the droughty re-
gions of the United States is to say
how extensively it is distributed, for
everybody who knows anything about
the country, knows how vast is that
empire laid down on the early maps
as "desert'". The word desert as ap-
piled to the unwatered reaches of the
west is misleading. On those des-
erts there is plenty OF vegetation and
animal life. Though in many places
water is scarce, life may be easily sus-
tanned in these American deserts. IT.

are when the water is poured on.
All over dry lands grows that wild
shrub, called by botanists artemisia,

brush.

Cost of Discovering America.

The great extent and value Of Queen
Isabel's jewel bag, the proceeds Of
which fitted out Columbus, is more or
less of myth. But in these days, when
millionaire yachtsmen spend hundred
thousand dollars for little racing
yacht and think nothing of it, the ex-
pense of Columbus's whole fleet seems
entirely Insignificant. The sum Of
$1,000 covered the whole outlay neces-
sary to secure and equip the three YES
sells, while the Great Admirars salary
was $500 per annum. The two other
commanders were paid 5000 each, and
the wages Of the crew were $3.50 q
month. OF course, money in those
days was worth a great deal more
than now, and there were not very
many places in America at that time
where the sailors cared to ask for
"shore leave" So that their wages were
a clear aaving.

usually goes to his office Christmas

The dinner to which the President
and his family and guests sit down
about Z o'clock in the evening is
served in the private dining room
which is located in the northeast cor

banquets given at the Presidential Man

HutnOr of King Edward.

Returned tourists who have been in
touch with the nobility in Europe,
bring back few good stories of King
Edward. One tale runs like this: The
King was driving alone in a dog cart
near one of his country palaces one
day and caught up with an old fish
woman, who was trudging to the vii
lage to sell her wares. She did not
recognize the king and asked him for
a lift. He responded graciously and
helped her into the cart. AS they
drove along she begged him to buy
her fish pleading poverty and a big
family at home. The king said he had
plenty of fish at home and would not
buy any. However, he would give her
his portrait which he thought would
be just as good as buying her fish.
"Ye are a fine looking man, but your
portrait would not buy shoes for the
children" said the old woman. "Oh,
1 think it will help you," he responded
and handed her sovereign which has
on one side his profile. When she saw
that she was riding with the king and
spilled her fish. The king handed her
another coin and dropped her out at
her destination. At another time
when he was Prince and attending a
theatre, a fire broke out near by and
every one helped to quench the blaze
The Prince in evening dress, worked
with the others in passing buckets of
water. A big pompous man was stand
ing by doing nothing. "Why don't
you help?" asked the Prince. The
pompous man swelled up and remarked,
81 am a gentleman, sir, and do no such
menial tasks" Don't let that hurt
you," responded the Prince. "I am
only the Prince of Wales"
