TABULATING TRAVELLERS
SoJourners Abroad to Report Annu-
ally to Nearest Consulate.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Uncle Sam is becoming careful as
TO those to whom he extends his pro-
lection. American citizens who So
Journ abroad must, under the new
law, appear once year at the near
est consulate and tell all about them
selves, or forfeit right Of appeal to
the old flag when in trouble.
This is Governmental espion-
age" that would not be tolerated by
the folks at home, but is approved
by them FOR their far-faring brothers
and sisters. We can get Government
reports OF our travellers, and know
where they are and what they are
doing. 1t will save deal Of letter.
writing, and enable us to mail our
bills to the correct address.
And it will have numerous advan-
tages for the traveller who is not a
tour-flushcr. The family that we
shrcwdly suspect to have retired to a
country resort to take on can air Of
foreign traveI' from the close perus-
al OF guide books, can prove to us
that it has really been abroad by re-
fcrring to the Government reports.
Still there are those-somc Of them
from ST. Louis-who live abroad,
and who will not want to tell why
they do. They will not wish to sur
render the rights Of American citiz-
enship, but they will not want to be
recorded in all their activities. 1t
would be embarrassing. These will
perhaps object to the new law as
"tyranny"
Perhaps they will resolve to cx-
patriatc themselves and refuse to reg
lister with Uncle Sam? And doubtless S
that is one Of the ends uncle had in
mind when he passed the law. Good
Americans will not object to it's pro-
visions and those moi good we do not
care for. They arc undesirable citiz-
ems. ~
Anyway, what does an American
citizen want to go abroad for while
he has such Il wealth of sightseeing at
home? He should stay here, unless he
can give very good reasons for going;
and ii is that proposition that Uncle
Sam submits to him.

MRS. SALLIE GIBSON
PUT UNDER $500 BOND
Columbia Woman, Who Was Robbed
of $4,000, Reveives Many Pro-
posals of Marriage.

Ihe State.
San Antonia, Tex, June 27.-Mrs.
Sallie Gibson, who was robbed and
assaulted by Rufus Williams, has
been put under a bond Of -, 500 to re-
main and prosecute Williams. After
making bond, her $G1 900 in cash was
turned over to her. Acting on the ad-
vice of Gen. Willie Jones of Colum-
bia, S. c., Mrs. Gibson left the money
on deposit with one Of the local banks.
A charge of lunacy was preferred
against her, but withdrawn in order
that her evidence against Williams
could be admitted.
Since the notoricty gained by the
robbery, Mrs. Gibson has received
proposals of marriage from all parts
of the United States. but has not
found a husband to her liking. She
has been SO bcSic@ed by real estate
agents, trying t" sell her property,
that she had tn apply for protection
Rufus Williams has been indicted
on four counts. one Of them being as
sault and robbery with fire arms
which is n capital offcnSc. For that
reason he has been unable to give
bond and will remain in Jail until his
trial this fall.

Prof. a. M. Soule in Southern
Farm Magazine Of Baltimore for
June:
Some Of the results accomplished
in the development Of dairy COWS are
little short Of incredible. For in
stance, Belle Sarcastic, Holstein--
Fricsian, yielded in single lacta-
ton period as high as Sl.9 pounds Of
malll per day, 554.7 pounds Of milk
in week, 2l,075.S pounds Of milk
in year and G32.7S pounds Of fat
in Il year. llouwtjc, another iIoisicin-
Fric>ian, yielded % pounds Of milk
in Il day. G2S.2 pounds in week and
l9,o23 pounds in Il year, equivalent
10 GG0.l4 pounds Of butter fat. Rosa
Bonhcur, another famous IIostrin-
frirsian, gave l06.13 pounds of milk
! in aday, 12G.25 pounds in week ami
l0,0335 pounds i'll a year. These COWS
were the property of the Michigan
Agricultural Experiment Station, and
while the milk was not rich in fat,
the yields Of both milk and butter
were, Indeed, remarkable. The Hul-
stcm-Fricsian, Shadybrook Gcrbcn,
champion in butter fat yielded at the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis in 1904
gave S1Ol.7 pounds of milk contain
! in~ 3.5 per cent of butter fat, Or
:3n. 30 pounds Of butter in l20 days.
Her highest daily record was SOC
pounds Of 4 per cent milk, and in
seven days she made 27.11 pounds Of
butter. Records, however, are moi
confined TO any one breed. For cx-
ample, the Jersey cow, Figgis, though
! 13 years of age, was grand champion
Of her breed at the st. Louis Worlds
Fair She has butter test Of 10
pounds and Is ounces and 320
pounds and 4 ounces Of milk in seven
days. and has given in one day 50.7
pounds Of milk. or 91Sl.7 pounds in
| rs months, which. according to the
| Babcock test. would have made 547.G
pounds Of buttc". Here was Il COW ca
pablc Of giving practically her body
weight in butter in the course Of a
! year. Is ii not marvellous that an ami
NAL should be capable Of doing this?
| When one considers that The average
scrub cow in the country does not
yield more than G5 to 100 pounds of
butter, it is not surprising that
dairying is often considered an un-
profitable business. 1t is far cry
from 1000 to 1000 pounds of milk to
10000 and from 65 pounds of but
Ter fat up to ego pounds.

Charleston this morning enthusiastic
come from the railroad station and
said that although his trip had been
long and hot one, il was entirely
successful in every particular.
In reference to the location Of the
Charleston immigration station he
said that with Mcssrs. Fry and Wind
ham he had already agreed Oh a site,
but that until their report was Off
cially made to Secretary Strauss with
Hn the next day or two it would not
Ja made public. lie also said there
/was not the least doubt in his mind
that as soon as the station was COM
plcted some large steamship lines
would make arrangements to enter
the port of Charleston. Already one
big line, he said had si@nified its in
tcntion Of making Charleston re-
gular port Of entry after the compile
ton Of the station, provided sufficient
return cargoes Of freight could be
secured, and this he thinks, may be
followed by still others in the near
future. p. Fl. McG.

The Graphophone singer.

The use of the graphophone in ''Fasci-
mating Flora at the Belasco Thester
this week, in a funny situation supplied
by Miss Ada Lewis. when she sings the
duet from II Trovatore' with the Caruso
record, is an example Of the unexpected.
When the graphophone is brought on.
after Miss Lewis has announced that she
has sung with Caruso and has won a
prize for her singing, no one in the au-
dience can quite grasp the idea that she
has reference to a graphophone record,
and her explanation arouses screams of
laughter. Later on, when she has been
engaged as the prima donna Of an opera
company. which is TO be located in New
ark, n. J., she is asked about the diet
OF the celebrated tenor. Her reply to the
question as to what he feeds on is. Ma
chine oil" which always brings laughter.
The scene has caused many singing teach
ers to visit the theater to hear the beau
tiful tones Of the Italian tenor, which
are so well reproduced, Miss Lewis sings
her part seriously, but in a burlesque
manner, while the voice Of the tenor is
repeated just as the audiences of the Met
ropolitan Opera House heard Caruso
render the part of ManricO, when II
Trovatore' was the bill last winter.

WHAT ESNA'S FATHER DID
BY HAROLD CHRISTY-

tion as to his wants Avice pressed
eagerly forward
Are you Esnah, son Of Hamid?" she
demanded Are you the man who lost
the purse?'
Il am he" said the Egyptian, with a
flash Of his white teeth beneath the
black mustache.
Avice's face fell. She had anticipated
a man wrapped in mystic robes sitting
over a brazier on which bubbled a cal
dron. He was a very ordinary shop
keeper, without even a fez to lend local
color.
There were in the purse $1i and some
most important papers. 1t was OF red
leather. with strap he went on.
This must be yc-Ts. she said, as she
passed over the purse.
I am most obliged" said Esnah, sharp
ly scrutinizing the couple. He could see
that money reward was not sought.
May I offer the lady a slight souvenir
token Of appreciation Of her goodness? ?'
Have you lucky charm?" she asked.
turning from the gay scarves he was fin
gering.
Esnah smiled and went 70 the rear of the
store. where the safe stood II was not
the first time a charm had been requested.
He drew from a drawer an odd-looking
stone. 1t was one Of the many that came
from Germany, and cost s. a gross, but
Avice received IL reverenty and tucked
II into her pocketbook with elaborate
care.
Esnah stood politely in the attitude Of
one whose business is concluded and who
waits only TO be dismissed. But Avice
was not through. She wandered about
the store looking at the stock, and MAX
ing a few small purchases 10 justify her
curiosity, until at last she gained couT-
age.
Please" she said softly. Esnah was
all attention.
Il wsnt to know" she went on hur-
riedly, what your father did TO the thief
who took his pocketbook and did not re-
turn it?''
My father was Hamid. son Of Akkar. %
began the Egyptian. ''To the merchants
Of Alexandra he was we'll known. One
day in the market place he lost his wal
let. For three days re told his loss, and
then on the third day"
"Yes?" Avice was almost leaning over
the counter
'On the third day" repeated Esnah.
'he decided that he would see his pocket
book no more, so he went and bought an
other"
Ned" said Avice softly. as they came
IN sight Of her home, IF you promise
never to tell"
Il won't rub it in" he promised.
Then I'll marry you If you still want
me I guess I'm cured of superstition"
