Two Little Stories.

There is little story in the memoir
of Sir Charles Bunbury which may
well be remembered among the strange
tales 0f kings. When Humboldt was
at the Tuileries for the last time In
1s4T and was about TO take leave
Louis Philippe said TO him: TEL my
good brother the king of Prussia that
am very firm here. | am very pop
ular All France is at my feet. The
kings of Europe may sleep soundly. for
there will be no more revolutions In
little more than two months Louis
Philippe was Il fugitive.
Another story in this volume which
has its touching side concerns Sir
George Napier. the fine soldier. After
the battle of Toulouse a group OF Eng
lish officers were petting French dog,
whose owner had taught him to accept
food only when 1t was offered with the
right hand. But Sir George had to Of
fer crust with his left hand because
he had no other. The dog looked at
him steadily for a moment-and took 1t.

WILL YIELD DOUBLE.
New Kind of Corn Will Weigh 20
Pounds Per Bushel.

A rare kind Of corn, Of much M
terest 10 farmers, is being developed
in Wisconsin through the expert
ments of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, under the di-
rcction of the governments corn ex-
pert, Charles p. Hartley. 1t is known
as Selection 133' and will produce
eighty bushels to the acre and aver
age seventy full pounds TO the bushel.
The corn which has been grown
for three consecutive seasons under
variety OF conditions and different
degrees of soil fertility, is now an
assured fact and the seed will soon be
ready for distribution among farmers.
Eighty bushels OF corn 10 the acre
is not a big yield; many farmers in
Michigan are already raising 100
bushels TO the acre with good sea-
son but the secretary OF agriculture
judges crop Of corn by weight, and
not by measure. Ordinary corn
which is being planted in Michigan
now only averages about 40 pounds.
which means 1920 pounds Of corn
with a yield Of so bushels TO the acre.
The new variety means 5000 pounds
to an so bushel per acre yield, which
almost doubles the crop.
Last year the yield in full weight
bushels OF all the Michigan cornhelds
was slightly less than 80 bushels to
the acre. This new deal means a big
gain 10 the Michigan farmer when

though brave, has always been excep-
tionally free and blunt OF speech. and
this trait has got him into embar-
RAISING situations more than once. A
number OF years before the Spanish
war he was put back several places
on the nsval list on account of too
free expressions OF opinion. 1t was In
1904 at y dinner that his story OF the
trouble between Admiral Dewey and
Admiral Won Diedrichs at Manila, TO.
gether with his now historic "Hoch
der Kaiser" song, nearly led TO inter
national complications. for the Ger
mans were much offended by the re-
marks of the gallant but indiscreet
American officer.
Despite his bluntness Of speech and
the troubles caused thereby, Coghlan
reached the rear admiraPs grade and
has retained the popular affection his
courageous sea duty has inspired. He
is very fond of good stories and once
told one to illustrate his distaste for
being the last speaker.
Having the last word" the rear ad-
miral said, reminds me OF story
heard not long ago. A certain man
died. and clergyman was engaged TO
offer a eulogy. The worthy minister
prepared a sermon of exceeding length
and strength, but just before he en-
tered the parlor to deliver II he thought
that 1t might be advisable TO learn
what the dead mans last words had
been. So he turned to one of the weep
ing younger sons and asked:
"'My boy, can you tell me your ia
theirs last wordsY
"'He didn't have none the boy an
swered, ma was with him to the

Admiral Joseph b. Coghlan. who re-

after a lengthy service distinguished
by several episodes which gave him a

native of Kentucky and was ap-
pointed to the navy from Illinois In

ike the stick. He Is the first labor
lnion mayor of San Francisco and
Ilso the first executive of the city to
be convicted of malfeasance in Office
He is known as the "fiddlng mayor"
and when he ran for Office il was pre-
dicted that If San Francisco were TO
burn down he would be found, like
Nero fiddling while the flames were at
their height But when the city by the
Golden Gate did burn down after the
awful earthquake shock the mayor
rose to the emergency, and even his
enemies credited him with acting with
creditable energy and efficiency In the
terrible crisis. When the crisis was
past, however, according to the testi-
mony of those who went on the stand
at his trial, he yielded to the tempta-
ton to use his official power to get
money illegitimately, and hence his
downfall.
There have been many ups and
downs in his career. AS young man
be started to study medicine, but gave
1t up because Of failing health and took
up athletics, which enabled him to
build up the magnificent physique he
possesses. He has been violinist, or
chestra leader, Klondike miner, gas
engine maker and executive Of a great
city and now at forty-three has the
prospect of spending term OF years
behind the bars of criminals cell.
Rear Admiral Robley ID. Evans has
had few sadder duties than fell to him

officers and five seamen of the battle
ship Minnesota who were drowned in
Hampton Roads. He has to go back
to the days of the civil war to recall
80 long a death roll among men he has
commanded or with whom be has
fought. II was during the civil war
that Evans commanded one OF the de-
