One Told by EltzaeraId.

Ex-Congressman Fitzgerald of Bos.
ton. who passed the summer at Old
Orchard. told this story OF the clam.
bake OF the Redberry club. held at
Pine Point late in August:
A chaplain had been called upon to
oficfate for the regular clergyman in
congress early in the term. The min.
lister was about to conclude his pray
or, and reverent silence pervaded the
big chamber. when the members were
startled to hear the following sentence
drop from the lips Of the chaplain pro
tenn: MAY corruption and sin in
every form be as far from every men,
ber of this body as Thou, art. @
Lord!"
Ie was several seconds before the
members fully grasped the meaning OF
tho clergyman's prayer. and when It
did 1t was unanimously in favor o;
having another substitute when the
regular chaplain was unable to attend.

NEGRO BUSINESS MAN.
Raised Seventy.two Thousand Bushels
Of Potatoes Last Year,

Booker T. Washington has an arti.
Gle in the American Illustrated Maga.
zine for January. entitled 1.-THE Negro
In Business He tells of the really
remarkable success of particular
negro, Groves by name, and then
tells what Groves says about II. Mr..
Washington says:
But why is Mr.. Groves called "The
Negro Potato King?" Let me
answer. Last year he produced upon
his farm 72.150 bushels of white po-
tatoes. averaging PAS bushels to the
acre. So far as reports show, this
was 1880 bushels more than any
other individual grower in the world
produced. And besides the potatoes
raised on his own farm, Mr.. Groves
buys and ships potatoes on n large
scale. Last year he bought from
white growers in the Kaw Valley, and
shipped away twenty-five cars of
white potatoes. He also bought
fourteen cars OF fancy seed potatoes
In North and South Dakota, which he
sold to growers in the Kaw Valley,
and in Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory. Mr.. Groves says that he ships
potatoes and other farm products to
nearly every portion of the United
States. and to Mexico and Canada.
At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Negro Business League In New
York, Mr.. Groves was asked how he
was able to conduct SO varied and
large business enterprises. when he
had had no education as a business
man.
You have children, haven't you?"
Mr.. Groves replied.
"Yes," said the other. "Some of
them are grown up now"
How do you manage your grown
up children?"
"Oh, get along with them," replied
his friend, laughing. You see have
known them long time"
That's just the way with my bust
ness" said Mr.. Groves. II started in
with 1t when 1t was baby, and I've
had a chance to get thoroughly ac-
Quainted with 1t as 1t grew up"

Thinks They Are safe.

In the spring term of the past year
the athletic young women Of Smith
college developed a passion for base
ball. In conversation with distin-
guished visitor at the college. Presi-
dent l.. Clark Seelye spoke of the
fresh enthusiasm which the students
were manifesting in the national game.
The visitor, having his own ideals
of intelligent gentlewomen, looked
somewhat distressed at this announce
ment.
Aren't you afraid" he asked, that
baseball will have tendency to make
the girls masculine?"
A humorous expression stole over
President Seelyes face. "Masculine?''
he echoed. my dear friend, If you
could never have further fears pitch
ing the ball you would never have any
further fears on that score"

Hippopotami In captivity do not re-

factor which Is OF considerable advan-

the animals lack the restlessness and

Jacob Borah. the veteran guide OF

than one of President Roosvelt's fam
Gus hunting expeditions In the state,
has been granted by the government a
special personal license to continue
conducting hunting lodge at Deep
Lake. on the White River forest reser-

Deputy United States District Attorney

the proceeding brought by Mr.. Knaebei
asking that the regular license which
was secured by Borah to conduct the
lodge In the first place be Cancelled
were dismissed.
II seems that Borah once sold the
place to other parties. who turned IL
into a questionable resort. He after.

rangers feared he might sell II again
to irresponsible persons and made the
application for canceling the license.
In the letter of the secretary of agri.

given sufficient personal assurances
that he will never again let 1t go into

1t In person.

In captivity. They are fed every dsy.
usually early in the afternoon. Oh
fresh grass or hay. various vegetables.
and bread. They have very healthy
appetites. and one can imagine the
quantity of food that hippo" can
consume. when one considers that the
stomach OF a large specimen will mea-
sure as much as eleven feet In length.
The hippopotamus is heir to few
troubles. Natural attrition keeps his
teeth, which grow throughout his life
time, within proper bounds. As he not
only spends most of his waking hours
in the water. but often sleeps there
also the frequent immersions keep
his thick skin in healthy condition.
The water must have a temperature of
not less than fifty-five degrees. and
must be maintained at this point the
year around. With the exception of
the usual attention regarding the
cleanliness OF the habitation. other
necessary care includes merely the
preparation of his food and the regu-
lation OF the temperature.
