Mrs. John Battle, so well known from one end of the United States to the other, was at the Willard, in Washington, re- gently and was discussing with friend the eternal servant question.
 Yes" she said, some of them are extremely stupid. Why only recently \ new maid placed me in most embar- rassing position. You know, every after noon I lie down for two hours for my rest cure'-not that I need 1t at all< for I am very spry for my eighty-nve years. but I rest upon the orders of my physi- cian This particular afternoon just after I had adjusted my cap this maid rapped on the door and said gentleman wished to see Mrs John Battle. l presumed he wanted my daughter-in- Jaw, so l said to the maid You may tell the gentleman that Mrs. John Battle is out and that the other one (now, don't say "old Mrs. Battle" for 1 do hate to be called that, my dear) is taking her rest cure
 This Is the way, l found afterward, she had delivered the message: Mrs. John Battle is out, and the lady that don't want her name mentioned is be- ing rescued.

Worlds Meanest Swindler.

Denver Dispatch to the Chicago Record
 Herald.
 Give Denver another championship medal and crown her afresh with laurel. Once more she has proved her suprem- acy. This time she jumps into the cal cium of fame as the abiding place of the champion among all the champion mean men of the world. There have been past masters In the art of meanness produced by other cities. but Denver claims that her champion has all other men so comz pletely outrivaled that, in comparison. they are really not mean men at all.
 The new sovereign of meanness is an individual who is cheating small children out of their costly Teddy bears. The champion mean man wanders around town until he sess some scrap of human ity about four years old clutching beloved Teddy bear in Its chubby hand. Then Mir. Champion walks up.
 Look" says he. holding up a shining 25-cent piece. 'I will give you all this sugar-stick money if you will give me your Teddy bear"
 The bait Is too alluring for the children to resist and they hand over their B and s4 bears for the two bits" Then Mir. Champion disappears as fast as he can walk. There were today six complaints 10 police headquarters.

Ways of Saving Waste.
3 Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Sldmming a river for living may be said to be one of the most striking ex- amples of the utilization of waste. This Is done in Paris. There Is one individual, at least in the French capital who makes it his daily business to skim the Seine. He is out at early morning In an old fat-bottomed boat, armed with skim ming pan. With this he skins off tho surlace of the river the grease which col lects there during the night, and which he disposes of to a soap factory. General ly he makes a quarter or so by his morn ings work, which enables him to live In Paris also there are number of people who make a living out of waste corks, which they fish from the Seine. They col lect on the river bank at daybreak, each with a short pole. at the end of which is a small improvsed net They set to work to gather In the floating corks, subse- quently selling them to the cork mer- chants in the nelghborhood.
 There are about a score or so of these cork fishermen, who have formed them selves into sort of craft, and who guard their interests jealously. If they catch sight or a stranger netting corks they fall on nlin in a body. Only recently the po- lice rescued one of these novices barely in time to save his life. The sweepings of a floor might well be considered as so | much waste; yet, through fire in Lon don the other day, which consumed D quantity of sweepings stored in the base ment certain firm lost several thousand dollars. The heap of dust and rubbish contained silver filings, which 1t was in- tended to extract later on.
 This is done regularly at all works where silver or gold is used. In gold refiners' premises even the soot In the chimneys Is not allowed to be treated as waste It is found to contain minute particles of the precious metal, which are ia, too valuable to be lost. In places where sheep are bred extensively. one frequently sees little bits of wool ad- herring to brlers and hedges. These are no longer regarded as waste From such wool rubbish, whether coming from sheep or goats, valuable oil Is now extracted.

.STALL|NGS IN RACE ID SUCCEED MORGAN Governor Conner Declines to
 Comment on Situation PLANNING FOR VACATION Prominent Democrat Returns From North Alabama and Finds Strong
 Sentiment Favorlng Elec-
 ton of Bankhead.
PLANNING FOR VACATION

Nothing new developed locally in the senatorial situation yesterday except the indirect announcement that Jesse F. Stall ings is a candidate for senatorial honors before the legislature at the coming ad- journed session. It was learned yesterday that MT Stallings has announced his can ddacy for succession to the late Senator Morgan's seat. but as he was not in the city yesterday his views upon the subject could not be learned.
 He was a candidate for alternate sem ator in the primary of last year and ran fourth in the race. He represented the Second district in congress for several years Mr. Stallings, it Is said, has ad- dressed letters to the members Of the legislature, announcing his candidacy and asking for their support.
 Much discussion prevailed upon the streets yesterday regarding the senatorial question, but from the opinions gathered if appears that Senator Bankhead's posi- ton grows stronger and his friends here say there is little doubt that he will be the choice of the legislature when the time comes to elect. While the candidacy of MT. Stallings and possibly of others for the senatorship may have some effect upon political weather forecast, it re- mains to be seen what effect this tempest in a teapot will have upon the legislators of the state when they are called upon to decide who shall don the toga worn so long and so honorably by the lamented Senator Morgan.
 Governor Conner was asked yesterday 1T he had anything further to say regarding the situation and the probable outcome at the hands of the legislature. The gover- nor very courteously declined to say any thing whatever, maintaining that he had said all he desired in his public statement. He said that he was going out into the country for a few days rest before the legislature reassembled, as he wished to be free from all cares for short time.
 A prominent democrat who spent Mon day and yesterday in Northern Alabama says that he found the people greatly in- terested in the senatorial situation, with an overwhelming majority in favor Of Rankhead's election. According to this gentleman, Morgan and Lauderdale coun- ties are practically solid for Bankhead

The Odd Glove Counter.
n the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Many haberdashers have an odd glove counter. where they sell odd gloves lefts as a rule, for twenty-five or thirty cents apiece These odd gloves are not bought solely, or even chiefly, by the one-handed; {; they are bought by men of every walk in life.
 The average man wears his left glove a good deal more than the right, carrying the right one, keeping the right hand free to dive after change and to fish out rail- road tickets. Hence a left glove goes first, and a right one will often be in per fectly good condition when the left is quite worn out
 So the haberdashers are careful to soil only right gloves putting them uppermost in the box and the window, fitting them on the hand. and finally if they get very dirty throwing them away, assured that for the lefts remaining a reasonable price can always be gotten.

LUMBERMEN EXPECT HEAVY FALL TRADE Raul Intimates Danger of
 Further Car Shortage YARDS WILL SOON CLEAR UP Lateness of Season Has Operated to Reduce Spring Consumption to
 Great Extent-DeaIers
 Are Optimistic.
WILL SOON CLEAR UP

The demand for fall supply of lum- Der promises to be exceedingly heavy, al- though at present the conditions are nor mal the outlook is slowly but surely be- coming brighter. Most of the prominent lumber men are very optimistic in re- gard to the situation.
 John H. Kaul president of the Kaul Lumber company, and president of the Yellow Pine Lumber association made the following statement yesterday:
 "The general condition in the lumber market at this time may be considered normal, as 1t is between seasons, period when there is a natural let-up in demand, which brings about what might be termed an easing off in prices. The recent falling off in demand is therefore due primarily to the season of the year, but also to the fact that large quantities of lumber or dered last fall and in December and Jan uary have been shipped during the past two months, the delay being caused by the extreme car shortage experienced dur ing the fall and winter. The lateness of the season has also operated to reduce spring consumption to a great extent. In
  markedly we'll, and manufacturers are looking forward to a satisfactory fall trade.
 Mill stocks are in many cases below normal, and the mills still have a great many thrilled orders on their books. Stocks in northern yards are perhaps somewhat heavier just now than is usual at this season, but this Is due to the slow movement caused by the late spring, and late summer and fall demand will soon deplete the accumulation.
 'The outlook is good for a heavy move ment of lumber later in the year, if 1t is not again interfered with by lack of cars and motive power, as now seems likely.
 Locally the lumber movement was re- tarded to a considerable extent by labor disturbance, but only for a time, and sev- eral of the dealers now express satisfac ton with the business they are enjoying and are confident as to the future.
 Values, generally, are satisfactory not having shown more fuctuation so far than would naturally be expected at this sea- son, when it is considered that the law of supply and demand governs the price of this commodity absolutely

DIscLAIMs PRESIDENTS
Activity in New York Apportionment Fight-Never Expressed Opinion.

Oyster Bay, June 1S-A disclaimer of any activity on the part of President Roosevelt in the New York aprprtion- ment fight was made by Secretary Loeb today. The secretary said: "The state ments that have appeared in the news papers that the President has interfered in any way in the apportionment matter are so absurd that 1t Is hardly worth while to notice them. The President has not only taken no hand one way or the other but he has not the slightest knowl- edge of either scheme of apportlonment; and has not only never expressed any opinion, but has not been consulted about either plan. If he had been consulted he would, of course, have declined to express any opinion whatever concerning either."

sown with other grasses it is likely to soon crowd out everything else. The Mammoth Red clover will come nearer succeeding by being sown with orchard grass than any other clover or grass
 When sown alone use from two to four bushels per acre. If to be sown with clover for hay, use at least two bushels of good seed and eight pounds of the clover seed Fourteen pounds Is consid- cred a bushel of orchard grass seed.
 Orchard grass, like all other grass and clover should be cut for hay before 1t becomes dead ripe. About the time the heads are in full bloom is the best time to cut
 Too much cannot be said in favor Of orchard grass. for it certainly deserves T place in every rotation on every farm where it will succeed.
