wrapped up In each other. Indeed,
when the French Ambassador visited
the st. Louis Exposition alone by
reason of the fact that Madame Jusse-
rand was prevented from accompany
ing him because of an abscess on her
forehead 1t was the first time In their
married life that they had ever been
separated, even for a few days.
Madame Jusserand is rather dark
complexioned and in many respects
has the appearance Of typical
French woman. She is a firm be-
lever in outdoor life as source Of
health and pleasure. When In Wash
ington or at their summer home on
the coast Of Massachusetts she and
her husband daily indulge in long
walks and spend hours playing tennis.
Madame Jusserand Is most charit-
ably disposed woman and since her
arrival in America has constantly but
inconspicuously aided many causes.
She has no children, but on several
occasions she has given parties at her
home for the French children residing
at the national capital.
NEW FRENCH EMBASSY.
The lady IL looking forward to hav-
ing the privilege OF fitting up new
French Embassy at Washington that
will be in keeping with the dignity
Of our sister republic. For years the
"branch office" Of France in the
United States was located in an old
residence in Washington that was at
one time the home Of Admiral Porter.
Then few years ago the French es-
tablishment was moved to the house
owned by Bellamy Storer-the house
which President Roosevelt leased Just
after his election as Vice President
ana before he had any thought that
he would be called upon to 80 TO the
White House when he took up ms

HOW THINGS GROW SOUTHWEST UNDER IRRIGATION.

moisture. But the big farms are not
prosperous. They are largely cult
waited by tenants and are strangely
devoid Of features which, make the
true southwestern farm one Of the
most delightful home-spots in the
world. The men on the land sell all
they produce and buy nearly all they
consume. And so they pay tribute
to others ''going and coming"
I have been visiting a farm In the
Sacramento Valley which consists Of
one single acre Of irrigated land and
which makes a. better home and larger
net income for its owner than many
Of his neighbors enjoy on places Of
thousands Of acres each. The little
farm is at Orland, in Glen County,
and is the property Of man named
Samuel Cheeks, who has grown old
and gray while tilling it for the past
thirty years.
Mr.. Cheeks tells me that he has no
difficulty whatever in making CON-
Portable living from this one acre of
irrigated land. Not only SO, but he is
able to save an average Of four hun
dred dollars a year beside. He has
money to loan. as we'll as fruit, vege-
tables and poultry products to sell to
those who are getting poorer every
year in carrying on big farms without
irrigation. I was so curious to know
how he could get such good results
from so small an area that / asked
him to give me list Of what the
place contained. Here 1t is:

ratio, 1t would require, to strike the

ment, the entire shipping on the At
lantic and more than the entire ton
mage of the Pacific" It is doubt
full II any private line would care to
hold enough ships In reserve to trans
port two. divisions on a fortnight's
notice. The Quartermaster General
gave It, as his opinion that, I'm view
Of the futile efforts Of the Quarter
masters Department to obtain suit
able transports from the merchant
marine in 1893 for the transportation
Of the army to Cuba, and OF the
further fact that when withdrawn
from regular line service the trans-
ports can not be advantageously dig
posed of, owing to their peculiar In
terror construction, 1t would be Wise
policy to retain a sufficient number of
boats as part Of the equipment Of the
army, to be economically cared for and
kept In such condition as to be prompt
~ available for any emergency which
may arise requiring the transportation
OF troops on the ocean," Since the
whisper Of trouble in the Orient, two
first class troopships have been held &c
anchor in Manila Bay, and until Janu-
ary all the freighters OF the TRANSPORT
service were out Of active service, with
the exception of the Dix.
PACIFIC FLEET A MODEL.
The army has built up its Pacific
transport feet after long and trying
experience, and 1t Is generally conced-
ed that the vessels are models Of their
kind. Representatives Of foreign
governments have asked for and Re.
ceived copies Of the specifications.
The transportation Of live stock has
been fruitful Of disasters. The first
consignment of mules shipped to Man
lila was a source Of great anxiety.
Every precaution was taken, and a.
nally the fatal precautlon OF belly
banding the animals caused the loss Or
all but one, who became known IN
Manila as the hundred thousand dol
lar Jack. The rest all died OF the I'M
accustomed exercise Of swinging on
their stomachs.

However, the government at Paris
recently purchased goOd-sized tract
of ground in the most desirable Sec
tion of Washington and will erect
thereon splendid embassy home of
it's own. Madame Jusserand being
an American woman and thoroughly
conversant with the wants of Amer
can women and Yankee conditions Of
life in general has been able to give
the French architect who journeyed
from Paris many valuable pointers as
to designing the new house and she
will be able to select the furnishings,
ETC., with far greater ease and sue
cess than could a Frenchwoman not
in touch with American ways.

When Alexander Berkmann left the
Allegheny County prison In May last,
after having served fifteen years for
an attempt to kill Henry @. Frick,
the coke and steel magnate, he found
himself able to converse fuently Id

The years behind prison bars have

MADAME JUsSERAND.
AMERICAN GIRL WHO MARRIED
A FRENCHMAN, NON IN
DIPLOMATIC SWIM.

!
French Ambassador at Washington
Given Position Largely on Account
Of Eife's Nativity Embassy
Building Projected.
How much q wife can do to help
her husband in public career is con-
vincingly proven by the married life
Of Madame Jusserand, the American
wife Of the French Ambassador at
Washington. Indeed M. Jusserand
was selected by the Government Of
France to act as the accredited agent
Of our sister republic at Uncle Sans
headquarters largely because of the
fact that he had an American wife
who 1t was believed !, Juld be of
great assistance to him in handling
any negotiations which might have to
be carried on between the two ma
tions.
Madame Jusserand, although Am
erican born, spent most Of her life,
up to the time Of her marriage, In
France. That she was thus an exile
from the land Of the Stars and Stripes
was due to the fact that her father,
Mr.. Richards, was an American bank
er In Paris, and thus his business In
terests compelled him to reside al
most continuously at the French cap
ital. His daughter was educated on
the banks Of the Seine and speaks
French quite as readily as she does
English.
Her husband has great admiration
for the American people -possibly be-
cause he is SO fond of his wife. He
Is an author of note and has trans
lated several American lierary works
into French. Prior to coming to
Washington, M. Jusserand and his wife
resided in Copenhagen, the capital of
Denmark, where M. Jusserand acted
as the envoy of his government.
His promotion to Washington was
decided advance In rank and carries
with it big increase in salary.
AN INSEPARABLE COUPLE.
Both M. Jusserand and his Yankee
helpmate are very genial and hospit-
able, but they are manifestly much

not such as are provided for steer

vessels so equipped were owned and

The second argument advanced by
the adherents Of the present system

best supported by report made on

Along the Pacific Coast the army
transport service in operation with the
Philippines and intermediate points, is
not regarded with favor. Private
steamship companies covet the BUSH
ness which Is now being done by the
dozen and half vessels making up the
transport fleet.
During the last fiscal year the Sheri-
dan, Sherman, Thomas, Logan and
Dix carried to Honolulu, Guam and
Manila $1,000 passengers, $4,000 tons
Of freight, 860,S63 pounds Of United
States mail, and $2,47S,0OO in United
States money, besides a considerable
amount Of Philippine pesos coined in
the San Francisco mint; and in jan
uary, 1906, the schedule was doubled,
that is, instead Of one sailing a month
there are now two.
The army prefers to do its own
ire. hit and passenger business on Q
Pacific for the following reasons:
Primarily, private companies secur-
Ing contracts could not furnish the SER
vice desired without specially con-
structed vessels, an expense which,
though demonstrated absolutely neces-
sary by experience, they would not
undertake owing to the uncertainty of
the traffic.
Secondly, the present service Is
found more economical, the cost Of
operation last year amounted to $780,
GOO less than the lowest estimate pre-
sented by any of the private con-
Germs bidding for the business.
Lastly, the exigencies Of the service
which might at any moment demand
the rapid transportation of large ship
ments of troops and supplies would
necessitate the holding in reserve Of
a considerable number Of vessels, an
impossibility to private steamship
company which is forced by competi-
tion to operate with strictest economy.

CAPACITY.

Its interior arrangement. The trans.
portation Of large numbers of troops

miles, the greater part of this mileage
lying within the tropics, demands the

ton. The sleeping accommodation

ERA OF THE SMALL FARM.

Time was when the man who had
said that living could be made from
% acres, much less a single acre,
would have been considered a
dreamer or q greenhorn. Now, how
ever, all through the Southwest, In
great sections of California and Ari-
zOna, where the sun is warm, the soil
is deep and fertile, and the water for
irrigation ample, little farms are max
ing for their owners more money than
many Of the big ones. Two, three,
five and ten acre tracts closely and
faithfully cultivated have become, in
hundreds Of instances, veritable gold
mines. Some of the communities Of
southern California, composed Of these
little ranches, resemble the suburbs Of
a village, so close are the farm houses.

class Of settlement, because It IL a
