Will Put Away His Wife.

Now Rev. Stephen lines is about to
put away his wife to become a priest
Of the Roman Catholic church. With
Mrs. lines he will soon go to Rome to
seek papal sanction for separation.
It is not because of diminished affec-
tion or respect OF domestic happiness,
however, that Mr.. and Mrs. lines have
decided to part. Mr.. Innes believes it
his duty to enter the priesthood and
Mrs. lines agrees with him and will not
only second his appeal to the pope, but
will herself enter the service Of the
church in some one of the stricter re-
ligious orders.
Father lines, as he is commonly
known, is a son of Rev. Robert F. lines
of Philadelphia, founder Of the Phila-
delphia Home Of the Merciful Savior

cision and became a high-church Episco-
palian clergyman. Soon after the an
nouncement of it was given, MIR. lines

daughter of f. S. Smithers, New
York banker. The couple were married
in 1900, and in September of that year
Mr.. lines came to San Francisco as
rector of st. Mary's.

year ago, Mr.. lines gave up his work

PEDIGREED CORN.

There is a good deal of discussion just
at the present time concerning the ad-
vantages which would accrue to the
farmers of this country. and incidental
, ly to business in general, if as much at
tention were given to the raising of
pedigreed corn as is now given to in
creasing the standard Of live stock
There is considerable fluctuation in the
statistics, but in round numbers the
farmers of the United States raise about
. 500. 0OO. 600 bushels of corn each year.
The value of this crop usually exceeds
81. Goo 900, 900. The American supply con-
stitutes five-sixths of the annual crop
of the world, and the statistics figure
that if put on a solid wagon train that
could be started toward the moon, the
first wagon would be 10000 miles be
yond that silvery orb before the last
wagon had left the earth. It is worth
ten times more than the annual output
of all gold and silver mines in opera
ton: yet practically all of it is consum-
ed within u months from the time it
is harvested.
The American corn crop is the most
important crop that is grown in this
country. This crop, the agricultural de-
partment at Washington declares could
be doubled without adding one acre to
anv bothersome increase of time, money
or labor to the farmer. This undertake
ing could be accomplished, as the de-
partment has proved, simply by using
pedigreed corn for seed. The average
Weld last year was % bushels to the
acre, but a large number OF farmers
who followed the guidance Of science
raised the yield on their farms to so and
even to 100 bushels to the acre
1t is calculated that if the hills of an
ordinary eornfield have one stalk with
well developed ear they Will yield So
bushels of corn to the acre. If each hill
has two stalks, bearing such ears, the
yield would be more than 100 bushels
per acre, while with three corn-bearing
stalks the yield would be $50 bushels.
The agricultural department at Wash
ington will give suggestions and assist
ance to every farmer who desires to
test its theory and improve his crop.

Don't Let Your AMBITION Cool.

The idea seems to be pretty general
that ambition is born in US, that we
have little sor nothing to do with its
acquisition or cultivation, and that we
cannot modify, enlarge, stimulate or
improve it to any great extent A
study of life does not confirm this
idea, that the ambition is a cultivat-
able quality, capable of being nodded
or destroyed according as we will, is
demonstrated every day in the lives
of those about us. We see people in
whom the spark of ambition is kindled
suddenly by the reading of book, the
hearing of a, lecture or the speaking
of a kindly word by friend or
teacher, and, on the other hand, we
see those who allow their ambition
slowly to die out for want of fuel.
The death of ambition is one of the
tragedies of life. When a young man
feels his ambition begin to fade there
is trouble somewhere. Either he is in
the wrong environment and his facul-
ties protest against what he is trying
to do, or some vicious habit is draining
his energy, or his health is poor, or he
is being led into dissipation by bad
companions. A youth whose ambition
begins to wane is not in a normal con-
dition. When he is not stimulated by
a noble purpose, and filed with a de-
sire to become a strong man among
men, there is something wrong some
where.-From Success.

FOR ANNEXATION.
Senator Heyburn's Plan to Settle Do
minican Question.

Washington. March 15.-Soon after
the senate went into executive session
today Senator Hepburn (Idaho) made
an extended argument in favor Of the
annexation of Santo Domingo. At the
beginning of the last congress Senator
Hepburn introduced a resolution for
annexation and supported it at that
time in a speech. Today he declared
that the destiny of this as well is
other islands was to be a part of or
under the control of the United States.
He went into the history of Santo Do
mingo and cited previous efforts to
acquire the island. Senator Hepburn
favored the pending treaty because it
was in the direction of annexation
During the day there were further
conferences as to the disposition of the
treaty. It was positively asserted by
the Democrats that there were not suffi-
cient votes to ratify it and the Republi-
cans generally conceded that such was
the situation. Quite number of Re
pub1icans, mostly members of the COM
mittee on foreign relations do not take
kindly to the idea of abandoning the
treaty at once and say that they believe
that the debate should go on for some
time Other Republicans think that a
vote should be taken and the response
bility for its defeat placed upon the
Democrats if they vote solidly against
it.
Senator McCreary CKy.) made an
argument against ratification of the
treaty.

The worlds coal production in 1908
reached the enormous total of 1854 mil
lion tons, of which the United States
supplied more than any other country.
Statistics received by the department
Of commerce and labor, through it's
bureau of statistics. indicate that the
worlds output of coal in 1908 was S64
million tons. of which the United States
produced 319 million tons. as against $50
millions produced by Great Britain, 100
millions by Germany. 80 millions by
Austria Hungary. and So millions by
France.
The worlds growth in coal production
is coincident with its growth in com
merce. indicating the close connection
between coal supply and industry and
transportation. From 1900 to 1850 the
worlds production of coal was relative
~ small. and only increased from 111k
million tons at the beginning of that
century to 81 millions in 1850; the
worlds commerce meantime increased
from IL billions of dollars to billions.
Since 1850 there has been a marked in
crease in the production Of coal, and an
equally notable expansion of interna-
tional commerce. Coal production has,
in the last half century. increased ten
fold, and commerce more than fourfoId,
the former increasing from 81 million
tons in 1850 to s64 million tons in 1903;
the latter from 4 billion dollars in 1850
to p billions in 1908.
The rapid growth in the worlds pro-
duction of coal is even surpassed by the
record of the United States In 1900.

The question of peace still engrosses
