into a ditch Of dirty water, and the horse
went of across a field, and the policemen
fished dad out of the ditch, and run him
through clothes wringer or something,
and got him dried out, and sent him to
the hotel in an express wagon, and rode
my horse back to the liveryman and told
him what happened to dad, and they
locked me up in a box stall until some
body found the horse, cause they
thought dad was horse thief, and they
held me for ransom. But dad came
around before night and paid my ran

Rotten Row is rotten, all right enough,

the smell of that ditch off his clothes

Now he has got new idea, and that is
to go to some country where there are
bandits, different from the bandits here
in London, and be captured and taken to
the mountain Businesses, and held for
ransom until our government makes a
fuss about it, and sends warships after
us. I tell dad it would be just our luck
to have our government fail to try to get
us, and the bandits might cut our heads
off and stick them on pole as warn
ing to people not to travel unless they
had a ransom concealed about their
clothes. But dad says he is out to see
all the sights, and he is going to be ran

shed rain, and you get their money and
spend it on other women" One of the
dukes turned red like lobster, and l
think he is lobster, anyway, and he
was going to make dad stop talking, but
the duke didn't know dad, and he con-
tinued. Says dad, says he: 81 know a
rich old man in the States, who made
ten million dollars on pickles, or break
fast food, and he had daughter that
was so homely they couldn't keep clock
going in the house.
"She came over here and got exposed
to duke, and she had never been vacci-
mated, and the first her father knew she
caught the duke, and came home, and he
followed her. Say, he didn't know
enough to pound sand, and the old man
got several doctors for her, but they
couldn't break up the duke fever, and
finally the old pickle citizen asked him
how much the mortgage was, and how
much they could live on, and he bought
her the duke, and sent them off, and the
duke covered his castle with building
paper, so it would hold water, and they
set up housekeeping with a hundred
servants. Then the duke wanted rae
ing stable, after the baby came, and the
old pickle man went over to see the
baby, and it looked so much like the old
man that he invested in racing stable,
and the servants bowed low to the old
man and called him Your 'ighness,' and
that settled the old pickle person, and he
fell into the trap of building townhouse
in London.
"Then he went home and made soma
more pickles, and the daughter cabled
him to come right over, as they had been
invited to entertain the king and lot OF
other face cards in the pack. And tho
old man thought it would be great to gel
in the king row himself, SO he shOveled
a lot of big bills into some packing
trunks and went over to fix up for the
king. The castle had to be redecorated
for about six miles, up one corridor and
down the other, but Old Pickles stood
the raise, because he thought it would
be worth the money to be on terms Of in
timacy with king.
Then when it was all ready, and the
old man was going to stand at the front
door and welcome the king, they made
him go to his room, back about a half
mile in the rear of the castle, and for
| two weeks old Pickles had his meals
| brought to his room, and when it was
! over, and his sentence had expired, he
was let out, and all he saw of the grand
entertainment to the crowned heads was
a ravine full Of empty wine bottles, a
case of jimjams for a son-in-law, a case
of nervous prostration for daughter
and hydrophobia for himself My old
pickle friend has got, at this date. three
million good pickle dollars invested in
your id island, and all he has to show
for 1t is sick daughter, neglected by
a featherhead of husband, who will
only speak to old pickles when he wants
more money, and grandchild that may
die teething at any time. You are a
nice lot of ducks to talk to me about
your English society being better than
our American civilization. You get,

think he is going to work the bandit
racket when we get to Turkey, but, by
ginger, he can leave me at convent, be-
cause l don't want one of those crooked
sabers run into me and turned around
like a corkscrew. Dad says can stay
in a harem while he goes to the noun
tains with the bandits, and don't know
as care, as they say harem is the most
interesting place in Turkey. You know
the pictures we have studied in the old
grocery, where whole bunch of beau
tiful women are practicing useing soap
in a marble bath.
Well, don't you say anything to ma
about it, but dad has got his foot in 1t
clear up to the top button. 1t isn't any
thing scandalous, though there is q
woman at the bottom of it. You see, we
used to know girl that left home to go
out into the world and earn her own llv-
ing. She elocuted some at private par
ties and sanitariums, to entertain peo-
pie that were, datfy, and were on the
verge of getting permanent bats in their
belfry, and after few years she got on
the stage, and made bunch of money.
and went abroad And then she HAD
married a titled person, and everybody
supposed she was duchess, or count
ess, and ma wanted us to inquire about
her when we got over here. Ma didn't
want us to go and hunt her up to board
with her, or anything, but just to get a
glimpse of high life, and see ii our poor
little friend was doing herself proud in
her new station in life.
Gee, but dad found her, and she amt
any more of a duchess than / am. Her
husband is a younger son of titled per-
son, but there isn't money enough in the
whole family to wad gun, and our poor
girl is working in shop, or store, SELL
ing corsets to support a lazy, drunken
husband and a whole mess OF children,
and while she is seven removes from a
duchess, she does not rank with the
woman who washes her mothers clothes
at home. Gosh, but dad was hot when
he found her, and after she told him
about her situation in life he gave her
a yellow backed fifty-dollar bill, and
came back to the hotel mad, and wanted
to pack up and go somewhere else,

Distinction Of an American.

An American, J. G. Jenkins, who Is re-
linquishing the premiership of South
Australia in order to become the agent
general for that state in London, will
enjoy the distinction of being the first
man who was born citizen of the Unit
ed States to represent British colony
in London. He is a native of Susque-
hanna county, Pa, and is said to have
arrived in Australia as canvasser for
an American publishing house. He
liked the country, settled there, became
a naturalized British subject, was re-
turned to the South Australian parlia-
ment. filed various ministerial Offices
and ultimately reached the premier
ship.

AMERICA SUPREME IN TRADE
Statistics Show Conclusively That
This Country Leads the World
in Commerce.

During the last month, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the facts as to
Americas relaive position, industrially,
among other nations, have studied the
statistical reports Of our own and other
leading nations, says writer in Cent
Per Cent, and the investigations and
comment of almost every important
daily and financial journal in America.
The universal verdict of the press, ire
spective of party affiliations, is that
Americas supremacy has been estab-
lished and that the nation faces the
dawn of 1905 steadied by the knowledge
of the stupendous truth that, CONNER
cially, among the other nations of the
world, she stands for the first time in
the forefront and alone. The RESPONSE
bility which comes with such knowledge
is SOLDERING.
But the report of the bureau of statis-
tics of the government department Of
commerce will Of course carry greater
conviction than the news reports and
opinions of even the most reliable jour-
mails. This reports figures are in all
cases estimates, except of the census OF
1900, but are approximately accurate;
however, for the most important items
the actual figures are available.
In cotton consumption the percentage
of increase between 1880 and 1903 in the
United States is 107 per cent, as against
46 per cent in the united kingdom, Ger
Two cd IN, ~
437 per cent of increase for America,
against !O2 per cent. increase in the
united kingdom, Germany, France and
Russia combined; in coal 1854 per cent.
increase in America, against 81 per cent
increase in the four European countries
combined.
And as the percentage of increase is
larger. so the actual quantities of these
three articles consumed are larger. The
consumption Of cotton in the United
States in 1903 exceeded by 80 per cent.
that of the united Kingdom and was
nearly double that of Germany and
France combined; of pig iron, the con-
sumption in the United States was con-
siderably more than double that of the
united kingdom; Of coal, the consump-
ton in the United States was nearly
double that of the united kingdom and
fully double that of Germany.
America has 100000 people, total
wealth of $1O6, 900, OoO, 900, and the cash
value of the cotton, corn and wheat
crops for the year is about 81, 012, 900, 900.
The new wear will be one of almost I'm.
paralleled prosperity.

their bank accounts straight, could give
those old Claude Duvals and Sixteen
String Jacks cards and spades.
But civilization, dad says, has done
much for the highway robbery business,
and he says we in America have arrived
at absolute perfection. However, l was
much interested in looking over the
ground where my first heroes lived and
died. and did business, and when We
went to the prisons where they were
confined, and were shown where Ty-
burn Tree stood, that SO many of them
we're hung on, tears came to my eyes
at the thought that I was on the sacred
ground where my heroes croaked, and
went to their deaths with smiles on their
faces, and polite to the last. The guard
who showed us around thought that dad
and I we're relatives of the deceased
highwaymen. and when we went away
he said to dad: Call again, Mr.. Duval
Always glad to serve any of the descend
ants of the heroes. What line of robbery
are you in, Mr.. Duval?" Dad was mad,
but he told the guard he was now on the

Then we hired horses and took horse
back ride through Rotten Row, where
everybody in London that has the price,
rides a horse, and TO carriages are Al
lowed. Dad was an old cavalry man
forty years ago. and he is stuck on his
shape when he is on horse, but he came
aear breaking up the horse back parade
the day we went for the ride. The liv-
eryman gave us two bob-tailed nags, a
big one for dad and small one for me
but they didn't have any army saddle for
dad, and he had to ride on one of these
little English saddles, such as jockeys
ride races on, and dad is so big where
he sits on saddle that you couldn't see
the saddle, and guess they gave dad
a hurdle jumper, because when we got
right amongst the riders, men and wom-
en-, his horse began to act w, and some
one yelled, "Tally-ho," ana that is
something about fox hunting, not a
coach. and the horse jumped fence and
dad yolled off over the bowsprit and went

body knows, but it is supposed to have
come from Africa originally. Anyway,
it's mutton is remarkably fine, and.
chiefly for that reason, the government

are now at the experimental farm

NOT A MERE KING. "
VICTOR EMMANUEL OF ITALY
Iii Is A HARD WORKER.
One Ambition of Ruler Is to Raise the
Agricultural Conditions Of His
Country--1s Trying to Cut
Down Expenses. n

Paris.-All honor to King Victor EN-
manuel of Italy, who, without trying to-
appear as strenuous as his imperial
cousin in Germany, has shown himself
endowed with most fertile brain. Like
the kaiser, he objects to being a mere
figurehead on the throne, and many
schemes carried out by the Italian gov
eminent have emanated direct from
him. ::
He is responsible for the purchase Of
Italian railroads by the state, the Latin:
ization of Mediterranean commerce.
and his latest plan-that of creating an
international agricultural parliament
the idea Of which was suggested by an
American-may prove greatly bene-
fetal to Italy. During the last 80 years
agriculture in Italy has been in decad-
ence. The country, naturally FERTILE
has become the poorest in all Europe,
and produces proportionately less grain
than any other European country, with
the exception of Switzerland, where
geological conditions stand in the way.
While the production of grain in
France, Germany, Belgium and England
is rapidly increasing, it is decreasing in
Italy. Even in Lombardy-the most
fertile province of the kingdom-it falls
far below that of 1874, and the prOduc-f
ton of corn and all sorts of vegetables
is also decreasing. The king hopes that
the agricultural institute planned will
do for agriculture what an academy
does for the language. He intends to
educate the people, to show where the
evil lies, and suggest means to eradicate

The Bad Boy Writes Of Ancient and

Tells the Story of the
Pickleman's Daughter.

BY HON. GEORGE w. PECK.
Ex-Governor of Wisconsin. formerly pub
Usher of 'Pecks Sum-" author of
"Peck's Bad Boy etc) ...
Copyright 1904, by Joseph b. Bowles) ,-
London, England.-My Dear Old
Skate: Well, if we are going to see any
Of the other countries on this side OF
the water before our return ticket ex-
pires, We have got to be getting move
on, and dad says in about week we WILL
be doing stunts in Paris that will bring
about revolution, and wind up the re-
public of France, and seat some nine
spot on the throne that Napoleon used
to wear out his buckskin pants on.
Dad asked me tother day what cared
most to see in London, and told him
l wanted to visit Newgate prison, and
the places made famous by the bold
highwaymen of a century or two ago.
He thought was daffy, but when told
him how had read "Claude Duval and
'Sixteen-String Jack" and all the high
way literature in the haymow, when dad
thought was wedding the garden, he
confessed that he used to hunt those
yellow covered books out of the manger
when I was not reading them, and that
he had read them all himself, when
thought he was studying for his CAM
paign speeches, and so he said he would
go with me. So we visited Homestead
Heath, where Claude Duval used to ride
"Black Bess, =" and hold up people who
travelled at night in post chaises, and VIC
found splendid spots where there had
been more highway robbery going ON
than any place east of Missouri, but I
was disguised when I thought what.
chumps those old highway robbers were,
compared to the American highway rob-
bers and hold up men of the present day.
In Claude Duval's time he had brace
of flint-lock pistols, which he had to ex-
anime the printing every time a victim
showed up, and while he was polite
when he robbed duchess, he used to kill
people all right, though if they had had
cameras at that time the flash from the
printing pan would have taken flash
light picture of the robber, so he could
have been identified when he rode of in
the night to a roadside inn and filled up
on beer, while he counted the ten shil-
lings he had taken from the silk purse
of the victim. Why, one of our Ameri-
can gangs that hold up train, and get
an express safe full of greenbacks, and
shoots up a mess of railroad hands and
passengers with Winchesters and all
tomato pistols, and blows up cars with
dvnomifo\ and gets awav and has to have
Z bookkkeeper and cashier to keep
