it is seen that our foreign trade has passed the $3,ooo'ooo'-
Geo line at last.
These figures are almost incomprehensible by the human
mind. but they are rs nothing compared TO what they
will be IN the next fifty years, when the population OF
the United States will have reached the loo,ooo,ooo marx.
BY that time the United States ought TO be and doubtless
will be the virtual ruler of the civilized world ana Its
merchants and manufacturers lords of the lands thereof.
Perhaps some idea of the meaning of the S3,ooo,OOo,Ooo
statement may be had by accepting it in detail. For ex-
ample, the imports have exceeded S1OO,00O,OoO in every
month of the past year. That is, We import S2o,00o,o00
worth every week, or more than Sl,Ooo,Ooo worth
every day in the business year. Our exports, Of course,
are even greater than our Imports. In August they We're
1920 54, IG0. against $11S,00o,000 in the same month OF
last year, Notwithstanding the fact that canned beef,
formerly n large item in exports, fell off far below its
usual amount.
1t Is impossible accurately to forecast the future, but
1t Is safe to say that, unless some great event entirely
unsupported should occur to cut down our population, the
United States should enjoy uninterrupted prosperity
until the time arrives when there will be enough to sup
port all of its people in comfort and happiness.-kansas

Apple JaE,.

Peel and weigh sour apples. To six
pounds of fruit allow three lemons,
peeled and cut up, and six pounds of
brown sugar. Chop the apples very
fine. Make a strip of the sugar and
a little water, and put in the apples,
the lemons and a few pieces of ginger
root. Boil until the apples look clear,
then put into glasses. This is excellent,
and will keep for years without scaling.

IMPRISONMENT for life. The point Of most general inter
oct \ m nv m of dictum from the court during the
hearing of the case. Judge Choquette Informed the pub
lie that In all cases on the kings highway the pedestrian
has the right of way over vehicles OF any sort.
Clearly this implies that If one runs down a pedes-
TRAN he will have to prove that the accident was not
~ayoidable, or that the victim was guilty OF contributory
negligence, in order to escape responsibility or even TO
secure q reduction of damages.
Common sense, us we'll us eommon law, shows no real
son to doubt the ~soundness of this view. What is good
law and good sense In England and In Canada should be
good law and good sense in the United States. Here
the pedestrian unquestonabiy has the right OF way over
vehicles of any sort.
1t Is quite proper for the motorist to blow u horn or
ring a bell or give some other signal to n pedestrian to
ret out OF the way. But the pedestrian may be deaf and
not hear the signal, he may be blind and not know
which way to hasten, he may be crippled and not able to
move quickly. he may be imbecile and not know the

ECENTLY In Montreal the driver OF a mo-

the street. The driver was found guilty OF
manslaughter and was sentenced to six
months In jail by Judge Choquette, the
court at the same time informing the pris-
oner that he had rendered himself liable to

racing events at the fair have appeal
ed with greater force to the public
this year than usual; among them
being the splendid condition of the
track, the excellent temper of the
horsemen, the continuous entertain
ment and the very creditable time
made by the horses.
Great credit is due to the committee
in charge of the racing program for
the very liberal provision made for
the public amusement and for the
manner in which things were carried
out, its object being to have "somethin'
''doin'" all the time. The enterprise
of the committee resulted in bringing
some of the fastest track horses in
the state here, in consequence of
which patrons of the fair were afforded
schedule of exceptional sport and
enjoyment.

The First Society Newspaper.

Paris Cor. London Express
In these days of many society papers it
Is Interesting to recall the genesis of the
first one of the race, which was produced In
France in the beginning of the eighteenth
century.
1t was called Nouvelles a la Main. or
Hand to Hand News, in those DAYS. and
the inventor was a lady named Nine. Dou-
blet. Nine. Doublet received all the best
society of Paris, and both she and her
guests loved scandal. To cater for their
taste a book was kept into which every
visitor wrote what he or she had picked up
In the way of news and gossip since his or
her last visit, and these news items were
afterward copied on to sheets of white
paper and taken round to the houses of
those of Nine. Doublet's friends who had
not called that day. Eventually the thing
developed into a commercial enterprise and
the Hand to Hand News was sold to all
who wanted 1t for 6 francs monthly or a
pound year. But pound In those days
was, 1t must be remembered, worth good
deal more than 1t is now.
In 1858, when Nine. Doub1et was quite an
old lady, an attempt was made to stop the
circulation Of her Nouvelles la Main
But it had gained so great hold upon
the public taste that the police were pow
erless to do 20.

and fall.
1t must have been then that poor Curly
fired the two shots which killed Louisiana

have been then that the window close beside

floor, and my three men, all masked, with
guns and rifles poured red-hot slaughter

LUCKY" BALDWIN's LUCK.
Narrow Escape From Shot Fired by
Woman in Court Room.

There has been lot in the papers lately
about Lucky Baldwin, said western
correspondent to a Star man the other
day, and the latest is that his luck has
sui held in the recovery of his eyesight
that was recently threatened with conf
piete destruction. But thsre is one lucky
incident in his career that 1 have never
seen alluded to in this part of the country.
shared his luck, too. in a way, though 1t
old not mean any money to me. You recoI-
lect he was sued for non-support of her
child by one Minnie Ashley out on the Pa
cine coast some years ago. They did not
make the case stick, though I know one
newspaper that thought they were going
to, and had a head all set up ready for the
story, the top line of which read "Beatrice
Wins the Baldwin Stakes" Beatrice was
the name Of the baby in the case, and a
mighty nice-looking child, too
But that has not really any connection
with the story. The luck of the case Law
in the fact that Baldwin was shot at in
the plaintiff, and she missed him at a
point-blank range of about fifteen feet.
Talk about luck! By the laws of chance
and proportion she ought to have gotten
MIN W times out of 100.
The way 1 came into the game was that
l was reporting the case for one of the
San Francisco papers. 1 had been on the
story for almost a week, and every day 1
and coping out seat right up in one cor
ner of the lawyers Enclosure. 1t was a
good, convenient seat, right against a post
IN one corner of the railed-in space, where
L was about midway between the defend
ant and the witness stand, and could see
and hear everything that was going on
The morning of the shooting the CITY
eaitor, Tor some reason or other, sent me
off down the bay on a junket with the En-
cheering Society. The man who was on
the Baldwin trial that day either was a
little late or took some other seat 1t was
early in the proceedings when Miss Ashley
pulled gun from her muff, and, stepping
over to the railing, shot deliberately at
Lucky and missed him-how, nobody
ever knew. The ball went right over his
shoulder and through the back of the
chair had been sitting in for week. and
stuck in the post behind. That was the
one time in my life when I was in on the
BALDWIN streak of luck. And I guess the
man who was filling in for me that day
thought he was, too"

The Young Mans Chances.
