Big prices were offered to him and
he yielded-he yielded, not to senti-

money. They offered him 100000 for
his little house and farm.
MIR. and Mrs. Gebhardt were sud-
denly rich-richer than any of the
Gebhardts of the family, richer than
they had ever dreamed of being.
Are they happy?
No. You might risk saying that
they are depressed. They have lost
their spirit. The old farm is doomed.
Still Mrs. Gebhardt rakes in the gar
den. Still Mr.. Gebhardt attends to
the few cows and the horse. But
neither works with any spirit. for in

Is New York too lonesome? Do its
scurrying crowds, its everlasting hus-
tie, its blind, passionate scramble to
'get there" make it a lonesome place
for the new ONE who has had the
comforts of the country?
Very likely. Mrs. Gebhardt is not
the first philosopher to discover that
n may be lonesome In a crowd, that
mere numbers of people, mere vol
ume of noise, more epileptic agitation
does not cure the blues, does not an
swe the human craving.
Too lonesome!

the supposed discovery of a new sup
ply of fertilizer which can be furnished
cheaper than the same material has
ever been before secured. Heretofore
the whole supply of carbonate of pot
ash fertilizer has com from Germany,
but DR.. Cushman, Of the roads office in
the agricultural department, believes
that he has found something In this
country that will completely %supplant
the German fertilizer.
Last summer when DR.. Cushman
was experimenting on some granite
road material in his laboratory he ex-
tracted from some very finely pow
dered rock a large percentage of pot
ash. He extracted this potash by cleo
tricity, but he concluded that as
ground rock is very cheap, it might be
worth while to try the experiment OF
letting the plants do their own extract
ing. He tried 1t on his own farm, and
found that the powdered rock did act
ually act as a fertilizer.
The commercial value of imported
fertilizer is about 500 a ton. 1t is
necessary In the tobacco fields and a
number of other crops require 1t. Tine
ground rock, on the other hand, can be
produced for about three dollars a
ton, and there is SO much of 1t in tho
country that runs high in potash, and
is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered. 1t takes
about twice as much of the ground
rock to accomplish the same results as
the imported fertilizer, but ven then
the difference in the price of Sc and
500 is evidently a great card in ia
vor of the native material. rhe scien-
lists at the agricultural department re-
gard this as a very important dis
covery.

to the presidency, and declares
that Theodore Roosevelt would be
Mr.. Taft's secretary of state. This
arrangement has caused President
Roosevelt considerable amusement ana
has excited the risibilities of men in
public life generally.
The most frequently expressed opin-
ion in political circles is that Mr..
Roosevelt is more likely to come to
the senate from New York than he is
to fill any other position. Senator
Platt's term will expire on March 3,
1909, the date on which Mr.. Roosevelt
will cease to be president of the
United States. Mr.. Plat Is not a can
didate for reelection, and If Mr.. Roose-
welt enters the field 1t is admitted that
no one will oppose him. The senate
would be IA c%ongenial field after two
terms in the White House. Some of the
older members of the senate who have
not had the most pleasant relations
with Mr.. Roosevelt as president are
already %grinning in anticipation of the
fun they viii have in hazing the new
senator from New York. Those who
know the president do not doubt that
he will be able to take good care of
himself when the hazing begins.
After Mr.. Roosevelt retires from the
presidency even though he is elected
a senator from New York it is believed
that his plans contemplate a tour OF
the world. He could start at once
and do this tour before the beginning
of the regular session of congress fol-
lowing. 1t is admitted that no one,
not eve Grant, has received greater
honors than would be accorded t o Mr..
Roosevelt by all the great foreign ma
tons he would visit. His reputation
as the great peacemaker Of the world
would insure him a triumphal tour.

who have watched the rise in the
value of Mauve's work, though 1t is
a record, l believe, in this particu-
lar. These things happen now and
then, as they did in the case of Millet,
for example. No amount Of theo-
retical merit or of advertising seems
to make them happen when they are
expected. Mauve's work is beautiful.
Even those who can't understand such
prices can admit that it is not a
"freak" fad that has to be explained.
Joseph Jefferson bought this Mauve

century they found his bones, His
legs were SO much like those of men
that a great cry went up of the dis
covery of the remains Of a race Of
giants.
There were giants in those days"
But when all the bones were put
together 1t was found that they were
not human. The mastodon stood
forth, the biggest of all mastodons.
The head and 16.foot tusks alone
weighed-in the bones-a thousand
pounds.
The great skeleton went into the
Spencer collection of Boston, and the
Spencer will kept the collection in
tact for so years. Now Pierpont Nor
gan has bought the mastodon for $780,
900 and presented it to the Metropoli-
tan museum here. So that the masto-
don is home again-back to his old
New York haunts. He is a wonder
to behold, and the metropolis will
coon have an opportunity to look him
over. Surely he was a powerful beast,
relatively as powerful as the man
companions that were his In the stone
and ice ages.
1t is not generally known that the
beginnings of the great Metropolitan
museum were laid by Pierpont Nor
gan and ex-Ambassador Choate, who
for 80 years have devoted much time
and a great deal of their own money
to its welfare. Mr.. Morgan's gifts
pass the million mark, | believe. He
is always giving something-paint-
ings, bronzes, relics of one sort or an
othor. The museum is rapidly near
ing the point where it will deserve
the name of the greatest in the world.

~ long time the
city has been subject to disagreeable
er%uptions, some of them fatal, most
of them seriously damaging. They
come out of the bowels of the earth
out of the entrails of the city to be
unpleasantly exact. Manholes blew
up, windows were shattered, street
cars and cabs were thrown over,
limbs were mangled. No man could
tell when he would see his fellow
man rising in the air, if he did not
have the i'll luck to rise in the air
himself. The sewers were on the
rampage and investigation showed
that the wicked automobile, which
does SO much damage on the surface,
was to blame for this sub-surface dis
turbance. The garages were emptying
gasoline into the sewers and the
liberated gases were doing the rest.
A vast section of the town began to
feel as If it were living over a crater.

removed. Many remain. 1t has been
figured out that there are a hundred
different ways of being killed in New

servative. The Pennsylvania railroad
e%xcavators for the across-New York

portunities for killing. Twenty-four

appointment of Hoyt as line. coach

be selected for that position. He will
however, help along with the coaching
of the candidates.
