The man who had been arrested for
having eight wives was awakened by
fellow prisoner, who hoarsely whis-
pered:
Vome on, sport. We've got some
false keys and unlocked the cell doors,
and we're all going to escape"

perately. unless you promise me that

The Potato.

The circumnavigator Francis Drake
has the credit of introducing the potato
to Europe, but the Spaniards had
brought it with the tomato from the
Andes some time before, and It was es-
tablished there and in Italy, where they
called it tartufoli, long before Sir Wal
ter Raleigh shipped his cargo, in 1926,
from Virginia to England According
to Humboldt, it has been cultivated in
England since 1854. In Saxony since
172S and since 1873 in Prussia.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
won a decided victory over a number
of prominent railroad men as we'll as
over their political friends in Wash
ington. The officials of the terminal
railways in various parts of the country
have steadily maintained that they
were exempt from the provisions of
the statute, which requires railroads
to unload, to be fed and watered, stock
IN transit at least once in twenty-eight
hours, contending that the intent of
the law was that it should apply only
to through roads. Secretary Wilson
advised them that their construction of
the law was entirely unwarranted but
they persisted in ignoring its provi-
sions while the Secretary instructed
his agents to record every violation
and he himself appealed to the Attor-
ney General to construe the statute.
Attorney General Moody has now ad-
vised the Secretary that he is correct
- AAS OOhoOheAOh budb buc pFOVlSlOnS OF
the law apply to all roads alike and the
Secretary will turn over the evidence
gathered in the meantime to the De-
partment of Justice, which department
will promptly institute prosecutions.
The Secretary possesses evidence up
ward of four hundred violations of the
law and every railroad guilty of ignor.
ing it will be promptly prosecuted.
In fact, some of the roads have already
indicated their intention of paying
their fines without attempting any de-
fense.
Those familiar with the conditions
under which live stock is transported
will agree with Secretary Wilson that
there is no defense for prolonging the
period for which horses, cattle and
other stock is compelled to do without
feed and water and to remain in
cramped stock cars beyond the legal
time, and that the railroads well de-
serve to suffer the penalty for their in
human practices.

1t is significant of the breadth of vi
sion President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft, that they both hugely enjoy a
Joke, even though it be at their own
expense. It is also noteworthy that
both men resent being told any anec-
dote which could not be told in the
presence of ladies. Whenever either
man sees particularly good cartoon
he saves it and shows it to the other.
A Philadelphia newspaper recently
printed cartoon in which the three
principle figures were the President,
Secretary Taft and huge bear. "All's
well that ends we'll" was the legend.
The bear was represented as saying,
delighted he's gone" 1t was great
strain on me keeping him amused";
the President as saying, "Delighted
with the trip;" and Secretary Taft,
who is shown sitting on the lid of
huge box, as saying, Delighted he's
coming" The likenesses were partic
ularly good and Secretary Taft was so
delighted with the cartoon that he
wrote the artist asking for the original
drawing which he will have framed and
present to the President on his return.

As an article of diet rice possesses
the advantage. Of being the most easily

For these reasons it becomes a val

as the potato and more uniform in
quality. According to the views Of
modern chemists, rice contains q small

and q larger amount of fat forming or
heat producing substances than any
other grain. Owing to the small guam
tity of gluten which it contains rice is
capable by itself of only very imper-

fit for baking into bread.
The palatableness Of rice, If not in

A certain pastor, according to the
Minneapolis Journal, had in his con-
gegatlon two men that troubled him
by sleeping in church. AT last he said
to one Of them:
Brother Parker, did you ever notice
that Brother Benjamin had fallen into
the habit of sleeping during serviceg"
Brother Parker had not noticed II,
but he was panied at the information.
''Wel, might I ask you to sit beside
him next Sabbath and nudge him in
case he falls asleepT'
Brother Parker would most certainly
do so.
The clerical brother then seeks his
esteemed co-worker, Brother Benja-
min.
Brother Benjamin, have you noted
Brother Parker's habit Of sleeping dur
ing the sermongn
Brother Benjamin had noticed it and
had been panied.
"Well would you do me the favor
Of sitting beside Brother Parker next
Sunday and nudging him in the case Of
drOwsinessF'
Most certainly Brother Benjamin
would 90 so.
The spectacle Of the two good men
keeping tab on each other in the sane
tuary next Sabbath nearly upset the
dignity Of our clerical friend during his
ministrations.

EARTH LIGHT.
Evidences That Our Planet Posseasea
a Luminous Quality.

Evidences That Our Planet Possesses
a Luminous Quality.
In proof that the earth does emit
light Humboldt 1s0S) points to the
aurora borealis. The light produced by
this luminous arch is distinct from
that received from the sun, and its in
tensity slightly exceeds that of the
moons light in her first quarter. At
the poles this glow continues with
scarcely a break, reminding us Of the
planet Venus, whose side turned away
from the sun often gives forth feeble
phosphorescent light.
Humboldt goes on TO argue that 9th
er planets also may possess a similar
luminous quality and in our atmos-
phere there are other evidences Of this
emission Of light from the earth itself.
such were the famous dry fogs Of
1888 and of 1881. which gave forth light
perceptble at night, and such is that
diffused glimmer which guides our
steps in the nights OF autumn and win
ter, when clouds hide the stars and the
earth is not covered with snow.
1t is therefore not entirely true that,
as Sir Norman LOckyer puts it, "the
earth cannot give out more light than
a cold poker can"

A writer on singing says: at the
present era, when physical culture is
a part of the curriculum of our most
intellectual schools and is so generally
regarded as a necessary element to-
ward supplying and maintaining the
sound body for the sound mind, it IS
worth while to consider a recent state
ment Of eminent physicians that the
mere exercise Of singing is a great help
toward the prevention. cure or ameliO-
ration Of lung diseases. It was dis
closed by statistics in Italy some years
ago that vocal artists are usually long
lived and that brass instrument play
ers, who bring their lungs and chest
into unusual activity, have not had a
consumptve victim among them. No
matter how thin or weak the voice,
young people should be encouraged to
indulge in song. There could be no
happier medicine, and if hearers some
times suffer they should be encouraged
to bear the inAictiOn in view Of the
good it may do"

The Yellow Fever
Infection At Havana.

The efforts Of the Havana health
authorities TO explain the presence
Of yellow fever In that city borders
upon the ridiculous, as evidenced by
the following telegram which has
been given the widest publicity:
Havana. Nov. 12.-The case Of H.
Y. Chivers. the New Orleans cleo
tIician who was taken 10 las Animas
fever hospital Saturday. was to-day
diagnosed as yellow fever The
Spaniard who was stricken Saturday
ana isolated in the Clerks Hospital
died there tonight
There are now two cases of yellow
fever az the Las Animas Hospital and
one suspect, a Spanish woman, who
was placed under observation to
night
The slight Development of the so
caled. secondary cases has encouraged
the belief OF he yellow fever experts
that there viii not be much of a
spread OF the infection.
10 has developed that the opening Of a
number Of boxes of electrical apparatus
from New Orleans which were con
|.-..... III MN.. .M ...L NM"uNN lLE
ater BUILDING liberated many mOsQui-
toes. The first person 10 be attacked
by yellow fever was a member Of an
opera company playing at the Payret
Iheater and subsequently the disease
attacked an electrician employed in
the same building An Of the other
cases have originated in this vicinity.
and this gives color To- the theory that
the mosquitoes from New Orleans
carried the infection.
The EFFORT TO connect the fever
cases in Havana with the recent in
fecaon az New Orleans can hardly be
dictated by anything but desire TO
draw public attention from the un-
healthy condition into which Havana
has been allowed TO get, and this
conclusion is the more forceful in
view of the fact that Havana business
men some time since entered a strong
protest with the state Department at
Washington against the laxness OF
Havana health regulations and condi-
lions which, they said. threatened an
outbreak Of fever
New Orleans has many things TO
answer for I'M connection with the re-
cent epidemic. but the Havana infec-
sion cannot be included among them.
AS a measure OF self protection
Havana should at once inaugurate
perpetual quarantine against elecui
cal apparatus. grindstones, sheet
anchors ana similar articles that are
likely to be selected by Made Stego-
uayia when she desires TO voyage TO
ward the Queen OF the Antilles.

Curious Pastures Of some Men TO
Woo a Flow OF Ideas.
LombrOso says that some men Of
genius in order to give themselves up
to mediation even put themselves arti-
icially into a state Of cerebral semi
congestion. Schiller worked best with
his feet plunged into ice. Descartes
buried his head in a sofa while medi-
tating. while Milton composed with his
head leaning over. his easy chair.
Paisiello composed beneath a noun
tain of bedclothes, and Rossini found
bed the best place for his best works.
Cuj9s worked lying prone on the car
pet and Liebnitz is said TO have been
obliged to assume the horizontal to
mediate at all satisfactorily. Rousseau
worked with his head in the full glare
Of the sun, Shelley on the hearth rug
with his head close to the fire, and
Bossuet retiring TO a cold room, wrap
ped his head ia hot cloths.
II is possible that some OF these
devices Increased the low Of arterial
blood to the head. just as many can
think best when exhilarated BY rapid
exercise or BY walking Up and down
