Harvest.

In current humorous paper a lady
on horseback is represented looking
over wall at farmer. She SAYS,
Il am so glad you are going in for
wheat, Mr.. Hayrick! My husband
made great deal of money in 1t on
Wall street" The satirist has touched,
without intending it, the profound fact
that under all our material prosperity
lies the produce of the earth; that
every man, from the farmer to ths'
master of the stock market, succeeds
or fails with the crops. One of the
most promising American novelists,
who died in his prime, set for himself
the splendid imaginative task of
tracing through series of novels the
kernel Of wheat, from the field TO the
loaf Of bread. In his Epic OF the
Wheat" he attempted to tell in new
kind of harvest fable the story OF mod
ern man. As far as he went, he did
succeed in making the kernel of wheat
the heart of large section of our
highly complex life. The flooding in
of millions of bushels of wheat about
his hero. who stands in the wheat
pit" in the stock exchange, is as pow.
erful as the rush of armies In the old
military epics. All summer long the
world watches the crop indications.
There is a shortage of grain.crops."
The cotton crop is moderate com
pared with last year" AN improve
ment of a hundred million bushels
was made in the corn crop in July"
Complicated by other forces not sure
ly discerned by the wisest statesman
and the shrewdest capitalist, these
crop reports swing the world up and
down, says Youths Companion. until
the harvest is all in and the facts are
known. There is a momentary settle
ment in business and politics, the
world breathes sigh of relief. and
than all industry that depends on the
crops begins TO hum. Harvest is a
great taking Of stock between the
coming in OF the raw materials OF life
and the winter months. when those
materials are converted to the mani.
fold uses Of man.

WONDERS OF THE DEEP
Old Sea Captain Talks of Pet Whales.

Those whales We're probably hump

What do whales live on? Why, whale
food, of course. Some call it brit and some
snowflake. It's nothing more or less than
floating mass of minute insect life.
Whales are crazy after it and lie still on
the surface letting the current carry the
whale food right into their cavernous Jaws
They like squid. too When | was on

chuck of squid half big as trolley car.

Child of Three Charged
With Assaultinga Man
ndence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, April 4, 1907.
A TRULY remarkable and probably I'M
~ precedented experience has just be-
fallen little Georges Tolut of Neuily.
At the early age of three years he has been
sentenced by the criminal court to ten days
imprisonment for assault and battery"
The plaintiff, M. Winkel, is a full grown
lawyer to guess how child of three could
have assaulted him.
The answer to the strange conundrum is
this. The plaintiff alleges that heewas as
saulted by man about his own age, named
Tolut, and he took out q summons against
Georges Tolut.'' But Georges ToluI hap
pens to be aged three, and the father, whom
the plaintiff really intended to prosecute
is Albert Tolut. But this was all unknown
to the court, and when no defendant ap-
peared in response to the summons Georges
Tolut was sentenced by default to ten days
Imprisonment for damages to NJ. Winkel
The infantile defendant has lodged an
appeal-not by himself. as, of course, he is
under age, but by his father as legal
guardian. But as tie courts know of
year-oid baby must appear in person in
the prisoners dock at the hearing on ap-
peal. This will be quite an unprecedented
occurrence, so far as is known here, but If
the baby were not to come forward In per-
SON the appeal would fail and the con-
viction be confirmed. There Is no doubt
that the court will solemnly dismiss the
charge against the infant, who will be set
free. probably by that time screaming.

absolutely impossible to manufacture and

But Mr. Bailey did it. When the show
was opened, the curtain was thereafter
literally enormous expenditure of money
ana still more enormous expenditure OF
vital energy by him.
This same remarkable energy was strik-
ingly illustrated in Chicago some wears
ago. The huge tents had been erected on

were placed $500 chairs. This was the

"A performance took place on Monday

spread until it devoured positively every
thing, the huge tent itself, wooden plat
form, chairs, ropes, pulleys. poles and
every article used by the show in giving
performances. even to the tent pegs.
MI Bailey was notified of the disaster
ABOUT midnight. He sped on foot to every
one OF the different hotels where his agents
ana heads of departments We're uuartered
10 rouse them to work. He had already
dispatched telegram to Cincinnati to the
tent makers ordering them To express by
special cars a tent used the year hefore
Although only just awake and taken by
surprise, he did not even forget to arrange
with the telegraph company to have the
telegram delivered at the home of the
tent maker Immediately upon its arrival
IN less than one hour people were at
work in both cities laboring to replace the
burned material. Mr.. Bailey went and sent
70 the houses of carpenters contractors
ana Workmen, got them out of bed and set
them to work. Before dawn the chaired
debris was being carried to the lake front
Nhen daylight arrived it discovered an
army of men actually erecting a new show
on the burned site
The big tent arrived on its special ex-
press cars and before . O'Clock was spread
over the work already done. An hour after
that all was ready for opening the doors
as usual at $50 pm. and the perform
ances were successfully given that Tues
day night without hitch of any kind and
as il nothing had ever taken place to in
terrupt them
There is no question that this feat will
stand forever in the annals of the circus
as classical achievement, for although
every article of every kind had been
burned-nothing escaping the flame~-only
one performance was lost the afternoon
show of Tuesday.
Altogether there were given nineteen
performances. instead of twenty. as orig
inally scheduled. and the receipts of the
entire totaled $4,000 Mr.. Bailey told
Inc that if the fire had not taken place
the receipts would have been $4,000. or
$4,000 day for the ten DAYS.
