that every letter intrusted to the

she might have the pleasure of

was fine and her philanthropy of

idea, carried into execution, would
have brought joy into hundreds of

MAN HIS OWN TELEPHONE.
Hello Public Soon Will Be Freed
from the Vagaries of Central"

NAAN Va SChtA NAs
Paris Cable to New York Herald
Just one or two more improve
ments and the wireless telephone will
be commercial and domestic fact.
This is the prediction, the promise
indeed, of Mr.. Louis Maiche, who
since 1857 has been working at an
apparatus that shall free the hello"
public from the vagaries of the tel
ephone central.
1t is not alone as a scientific won
der-worker that M. Maiche hopes to
enthuse the world His main hope
lies in giving the plain people
comforting convenience.
M. Maiche lives in the suburb of
st. Bermain, and in his villa and in
the gardens lying about he is con-
Quoting his experiments.
I'm 1893" said M. Maiche, II sue
ceeded in conducting conversation
through a wireless telephone at a
distance of thirty yards. In 1895
| conducted a conversation between
Alaccio, in Corsica, and Toulon, a
distance of 1876 miles. But that was
more wireless telegraphy than wire
less telephony, and that is not what
l seek.
What l want, what we people
want, is the simplest kind of tele-
phone, something which man can
carry in his pockets and with it call
up any one, in any place. With such
an apparatus people living in a fiat
on the sixth floor can communicate
wirelessly with all the other flats and
with the janitor in the basement.
Imagine two steamers steaming
through fog" continued M. Maiche.
with my little apparatus the cap
tains can tell at any moment the
direction the other ship is taking.
In case of an accident to a subma-
rine my apparatus would enable the
crew in danger to communicate with
the conveying tug without fearing
the breaking of line, as in the case
of telephone bouy. Miners tombed
after a disaster like that at Cour-
rieres could communicate with the
rescue party. The army corps max
ing a night attack could keep in con-
slant touch without risk of inter
ruption. The ordinary citizen could
have it in his dining-room and would
no longer be dependent on the va
carries of the telephone exchange"

NOT A NATIONAL HOLIDAY
PRESIDENT Can Declare Thanksgiving
Day Legal Holiday Only in Dis
trict of Columbia and the
Territories.

IefflUOFleS.
Thanksgiving is a national feast
day, but it isn't a national holiday,
IN the legal sense. There isn't any
such thing in this country as a ma
tional holiday, not even the Fourth
of July being accorded that distinc-
ton. The president has power to
declare Thanksgiving a legal holiday
only in the District of Columbia and
the territories. Many of the states
have made the day statutory holt
day upon the proclamation of the gov
ernor, but all of them have not. Nor
is the date fixed, except in Missis-
sippi, by any authority save custom.
1t is the law in Mississippi that the
fourth Thursday in November shall
be Thanksgiving day, while custom
has it that the last Thursday in the
month shall be observed However,
the governors of the states and the
mayors of cities without exception
follow custom and the presidents
proclamation with proclamations of
their own naming the last Thursday
in the month as the day to be cele-
brated and declaring it a public hol-
lady; and so it has come to be re-
garded as a great national holiday

FORGOT WHERE FAMILY is
THE PECULIAR PREDICAMENT
OF A VIRGINIA MAN.
Sent His Wife and Child to New
Home, and Discovered He Had
Forgotten the Address.

Having found boarding house in
Marshall street to his liking, B. J.
Quinn, who lived on Reservoir street,
Richmond, Va, started his wife and
child for the new abode, while he
was to follow with the wagon con-
tanning the family trunks and per-
sonal effects.
He seated himself by the driver
of the wagon and they got along
merrily until the latter bethought
him to look at his book to freshen
up his memory on the address, but
the books had disappeared.
He ransacked one pocket after the
other, but it was gone. He turned
to Mr.. Quinn. Mr.. Quinn thought.
Presently he looked puzzled. He
scratched his head; he scratched it
again; he knitted his .brows, but it
was all to no purpose. He muttered
something under his breath, and then
exploded with the dread knowledge
that he had forgotten.
The men gazed askance at each
other in silence, and then the awful
fact obtruded itself on their dulling
brains. The one had lost the address
and the other had forgotten it. There
was no getting round that, and slow
ly they turned round and proceeded
back to the transfer company place
with the vain hope that the people
there might know. But no one knew
there, and there was nothing to do
but dump the trunks out OF the
wagon and leave them.
Then with a brave heart, but little
hope, Mr.. Quinn started out in search
for his wife and child. He went to
dozens of boarding houses. The land
ladies looked at him questioningly'
wondering what to think OF a man
who couldn't find his wife and child
and informed him promptly that they
were not in their houses.
He even went to some places twice.

The increase of the wealth in the

,baracter. The census figures show
that this increase in the eleven
.outhern states between the years
1910 and 1904 was S2,333,000,000
more than their aggregate wealth
in 1870. The aggregate wealth of
these states in 1870, after deducting
ore-ffth for the imitation of the cur
renew at that time, as the statisti-
clans do. was $2,264,O00,000. The
year before the war, in 1860, the
wealth of these states was S., 49,

The Increase in Eleven States.
The increase in wealth in the
eleven southern states between 1870
and 1904 was as follows:

in Texas aolne was nearly half a

Large Corn Acreage

Should climatic conditions this year
prove satisfactory TO the South OAK
ota farmer, this state will see har-
vested this fail the largest corn crop
init history.
The past twenty years has seen the
central eastern part of the state
grow from trackless prairie int
one o. the finest farming regions of
the Union. The South DAKOTA
pioneer had vast number of things
to contend with. He had vast
dea learn about the new count ry
ana t..c method by which he could
produce large crops with the minimum
amount of Doitture. The last few
years has seen the rainfall in this
part of the United States increase
very materially, and As a result farm
ing has been gwen an impetus here
tofore unknown in the West.
One of the first mistakes made by
the early farmer in this state was
that he did not think he could raise
corn. He turned all his attention to
the growing of wheat, barley and
faX, and let the matter of corn go by
default When 1t did occur to him
to plant small patch of corn, he
again made the mistake Of planting
Southern grown seed, and the result
Of the experiment was decided
failure of the crop.
After several failures like this, the
farmer learned that by sending fur
ther Nor theast and getting seed corn
from the more northern parts of the
country, he could get variety of
corn we'll adapted to the South OAK
ota pralries.
The more progressive farmers dis
covered that by planting Northern
grown seed of quickly maturing var
ieties, it was possible to produce corn
that would mature and be in shape
TO gather before frost. With this
discovery, which, strangely enough,
was made in the central and north
ern parts of the state, instead of the
thickly settled southern part, the
area devoted to corn raising has in
creased until every one of the north
ern counties Of the state, and especi-
ally in Roberts county are to be dot
ted this summer with corn fields. and
the farmer who places his dependence
upon wheat will no longer exist.
