900 acres, or more than half of the
area Of the total project, is rich tule

The topographic branch of the Geo

The fund provided by the bill would
be small as compared with the irri-

half million dollars year and would
start of with about $1,0O0,OOO, the re-

Stoooed .he ss Fast Flyer"

At q recent dinner at the White
House. the following story. was told
by one Of the guests on Secretary
Taft, who was present. and who. BY
the way. tips the scales at beyond the
three-hundred.pound mark:
The Secretary was returning to
Washington ,from Chicago aboard the
Fast Flyer" that only stops at large
cities. He had urgent business with
an old acquaintance Of his who lived
at q small station about two hundred
miles from Washington, the popula-
tion of which is about hve hundred.
He asked the conductor II he could
stop the train for him at that place.
but he replied that 1t would be impos-
sible for him to do so-that he certain
ly would lose his job II he did. Well.
after much worrying over his disap-
pointment, Mr.. Taft thought OF
scheme by which he could gain his
end, and when the train next stopped
he sent q message to the superinten-
dent Of the road. saying:
VIII you stop your Fast Flyer At
Denizien for . large party on way to
Washington? II SO. instruct conduc-
tor to stop today"
About an hour passed, when the con-
ductor, passing through the train.
stopped at the Secretary's seat and
told him that he would be able to get
OF at Denizen as he had been ordered
to stop his train there for a large
party going to Washington. The Sec
retary smiled. with that childlike ex-
preston of innocence for which he Is
famed, thanked him and settled down
again behind his paper. Two hours
later the porter of the train called
"Denizen. Denizen." much to the sur
prise OF the passengers. Mr.. Taft
gathered up his handgrip and started
for the platform OF the car. where he
was standing when the train came to
= dead stop. As he stepped OF the
train there was no one In sight but

Both Lucky and Odd.

Midway between sentiment and su-
perstition lies a feminine trait which
cherishes odd little trinkets that seem
TO bring luck. That any jeweled bauble
can possibly change the capricious
whims of Dame Fortune remains as al
ways, a shadowy possibility. That q
pleasant memory attached to some
small ornament can be constantly re-
called by the treasured trinket Is with
out a doubt. So with divided affection
women still cling to the savage luck
charm as closely in 1906 as did their
barbaric sisters whose calendar was the
setting sun.
1t Is with the most up-to-date busi-
ness women that one finds the most
novel trinkets. Actresses particularly
wear unusual luck ornaments, and not
the least fetching Of these is gold
chain which never leaves the neck OF
a very pretty leading woman In a pop
ular theatrical company. Caught be-
tween the delicate links at intervals of
two inches are all sorts OF semi-pre-
cious stones as well as genuine gems.
Each individual stone represents the
gift of some good friend who has been
associated with her In her stage ca
reer, and the chain already holds
twenty jewels as well as q souvenir
pendant gold and enamel brownie with
diamond eyes. The different stones
include a rare yellow diamond and
topaz. several oddly shaped water
pearls, and clasping the chain at the
back a large square garnet OF richest
hue.
Then there is a very popular teacher
In one of the big cities who has been
at the head OF a shorthand school for a
number of years. Her luck souvenir is
a coin waist belt made entirely OF ten
cent pieces. 1t was started by her hrst
class of girls. every one OF whom was
devoted to her. When their term was
over. however, their very meagre pock-
etbooks would allow the majority OF
them to give only ten cents apiece. So
one of their members conceived the
happy idea Of having the dimes Joined
In the form Of bracelet, and each
girls initial was scratched on Lib
erty's cap.
As class followed class, the idea took
root and the ten.link bracelet has
grown to a good sized waist belt with
four rows OF coins. Some are thick
and some are thin, and many bear hard
ly a resemblance to the newly minted
dime. but they all carry the initials OF
some young pupil to whom the CHEEKY
teacher was an inspiration. and the
coins stand for everything In the world
to their owner. In fact SO much part
OF her has the belt become that she
never thinks OF going anywhere with.
out It, and she sleeps with II under
her pillow at night.
In contrast to this luck charm OF

HIS WIFE WAS A WONDER.

When the news Of the death of the
Hon. Yonks Van Dolsen reached
Wighamton it fell like a wet pail over
the place. Richard Van Dolsen was in
the wild Missouri Mountains looking
up timber tracks that had been offered
at tempting prices, and Mrs. Van Dol
sen had to bear her sorrow alone. She
shut herself in her house and would
see no one but Miss Arsdale When
she appeared again she was In deep
mourning and fed East with her sor.
row.
There was no one in Wighamton
who could boast of such distinguished
ancestry as the Van Dolsens, except
Hetty Arsdale. and she. poor girl, was
the last OF her line. Poor in purse,
but rich in pride. Miss Arsdale was
a source of considerable worry to her
many friends in Wighamton. Being
an Arsdale, she could not stoop to
work, nor could she accept indiscrimi-
nate charity. She was, however, CRATE
full for opportunities to relieve her
good friends Of the regrettable neces-
sity Of destroying such things. as they
no longer could conveniently keep. In
doing this she thought she was doing
a favor and her friends respected her
pride, but found 1t extremely difficult
to keep her alive and clothed.
Everyone said that 1t was really too
bad that the death of Yonks Van Dol
sen should occur at just the time it
did, three weeks before Miss Hetty's
wedding Miss Hetty had long been
looked upon as a confirmed spinster.
but, after having passed the forty
mark some distance, had met one Hec-
tor McGregor. and their wedding day
was soon settled upon. Yonks Van
Dolsen nearly upset everything, and
Mrs. Van Dolsen went into black. shut
up her house and then went away.
Some days after Mrs. Van Dolsen
had left for the East. Richard Van
Dolsen arrived in Wighamton. and
while on his way home met his friend,
Tom Garrick, and the two men ex-
changed q hearty greeting, after which
Mr.. Van Dolsen asked about village
news and learned for the first of Miss
Arsdale's approaching marriage.
Garrick walking by the side of his
old friend suddenly said, "Dick. l sup
pose you know Mrs. Van Dolsen has
gone East?" "WelI. no." said Van
Dolsen easily. but she rather expected
to leave before got back" He looked
At Garrick curiously. why do you
look at me that way, Tom. there's
nothing wrong with Elizabeth, is
there?"

Il guess you don't understand me.

dead. Your wife felt his death deeply
and when she left for the East was
In heavy mourning for him."
Van Dolsen dropped the heavy valise
he was carrying and laughed until he
was completely out OF breath and
the tears were streaming down his
face.

rhinocerous-hided reprobate." he cried.

tion, fs scarcely second in importance
to the irrigation work. 1t means that
tens of millions of acres OF the most
fertile land imaginable. which has
lain idle for ages, may be converted
from dismal and pestilential swamps
and useless bogs unto highly prosper
GUS homes, to become the garden spots
OF the nation.
The Dutch have reclaimed vast
areas in Holland from the encroach-
ments OF the ocean. Thousands of
families live and farm below sea level,
gaining their security by magnificent
feats Of engineering and persistence.
They now contemplate the drainage of
the Zuyder Zee, reclaiming some l.
100000 additional acres of meadow
land. American drainage in most
cases would be far more simple and
less expensive; it is simply 3 ques-
tion as to whether the nation will see
the wisdom of setting its hand to this
work.
Another Inland Empire.
In Florida the everglades alone-al-
most solid muck beds-would afford
an empire Of some million acres: in
New Jersey and Virginia are vast
swamps, among them the famous Dis
NAL Swamp. In Illinois which Is gen.
orally regarded as well settled agri-
cultural state, there are 4 million acres
OF swamp land; in Michigan there are
nearly million acres. Fertile Iowa
has about 2 million acres Of swamp
land. In Minnesota there are almost
5 million acres OF rich surveyed swamp
lands and huge swamp areas not yet
surveyed. Arkansas has tremendous
swamp areas which could be drained
and made habitable, and in all there
is swamp area in the eastern half OF
the United States which is equal in ex
tent to the great agricultural statei
of Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, with
three or four smaller eastern states
thrown in.

that the settler or owner will pay
