 At the sound of his voice the boy lost his momentary fear, and his dirty face became beautiful with the great happlness which shone from the big brown eyes.
 I've comed ter live with yer. Don't yer member bout my bein' yer boy?' and the little fellow kicked his bare heels together in his delight.
 "To live with me! My boy! What in thunder do wou mean?'
 Russell spoke petulantly. He loved children, and usually had kind word for the most unpromising specimen of childhood; but today he was not in a mood to make himself agreeable. or to exercise patience.
 Yer said" the little waif cleared his throat and tried to force back the tears which were fast filling his eyes; yer said as how l could live with yer an be yer boy when gran'ther didn't want me no more" By this time the little body trembled so violently that the child dropped down on Russelfs footstool.
 What little mite it is," thought Russell, glanced down.

 "Miss-ahem-yes, l know, What did she say about my-your going to see her?"
 Dick repeated the conversation and was rewarded by being told that he might go to call on the pretty lady and soon he was seated in a chair very dose to her side, busily engaged with a picture book.
 How did you happen to do it?" asked Miriam of Russell with a glance at the boy.

 "Confessing what?" Russell had her in his arms, and Dick was staring wide-eyed on such scene as he had never before witnessed.
 That I was mistaken in you. thought you an easy going individual without much purpose, one who would be easily swayed by public opinion, and such man, though very pleasant as an acquaintance, was not my ideal as husband"
 Russell and Miriam have been mar ried several years, and Dick still lives with them. People who predicted all sorts of trouble now say that they are the oldest couple that ever lived, and it is fortunate that they married each other. for neither would have been happy with any one else, or made any one else happy.

MEAT AND DAIRY EXPORTS.
Total Value 100000 Last Year, Growth
of Forty-five Per Cent. in Decade.

Washington, D. C.-The total ex-
portation of meats, dairy products
and food animals from the United
states last year aggregated over
$250,000,000 in value, according to
a statement issued by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of Com
meree and Labor This represents
an increase of 0,000,000, or forty
five per cent. during the decade 1896
to 1906. More than sixty per cent.
Of last years exports went to the
United Kingdom. Even this large
percentage, however, is less than that
of a decade ago, when Great Britain
took over seventy per cent of Amer
lean exports.
OF the $25O,0O0,000 worth of
meats, dairy products and food ami
mails passing out of the United
States last year, $4O,O00,OO0 was in
live animals, $58,000,000 in lard,
$36, 100000 in bacon, $25, 900, 900 in
fresh beef, 100000 in hams,
SIS, 100000 in oleomargarine, $14,-
900, 900 in pork other than bacon and
hams, $4,500,000 in butter and ST.
100000 in cheese.
The farmers of America are en-
joying their full share of the general
prosperity of the country. sThe re-
port of the Government recently made
public announces that the value of
farms increased thirty-three per cent.
in five years, from 1900 to 1906.
This increase extends to every State
In the Union in greater or less de-
gree. Oklahoma shows the largest
increase, forty-three per cent, but
even New England, which does not
lay claim to much of a farming coun-
try, shows a gain of eighteen per
cent
This great increase in our farm
wealth is, of course, due to the re-
markable advance in the value of
farm products, which is estimated to
be about forty per cent. Increased
earnings have come with better
knowledge of conditions and better
methods of farming, and as these
methods are constantly improving,
our continued prosperity seems as
sured.

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Exceed $70o,o0O,OO0 Ysar---Have Doubled
in Value in Ten Years.

Washington. D. C. The United
States now ranks third among the
worlds exporters of manufactures,
according to monograph on exports
of manufactures from the United
States and their distribution, -. issued
by the Bureau of Statistics of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
1t is shown that not only do the
exports of manufactures now exceed
$500, 100000 per annum, and have
doubled in value in single decade,
but the share which products of the
factory form of the total exports is
steadily increasing. A comparison
shows that in 1880 manufactures
formed only fifteen per cent. of the
total exports of domestic products,
while in 1906 they formed forty per
cent.
In the decade ending with 1905
exports of manufactures increased
1913 per cent, while those from Ger
many increased seyenty-five per
cent; from the United Kingdom,
forty per cent. and from France,
twenty-five per cent.

WHIsKY'S STATUS Defined
President Declares That Liquors
Must Be Labeled Truly.
Blends and Compounds Are Substan-
TALLY Alike and Both Are For
hidden by Pure Food Law.

Washington, D. C-The ,oug-ex-
pected opinion of Attorney General
Bonaparte concerning the proper
labelling Of whisky under the Pure
Food law, approved June so, 1906,
was made public at the White House.
It's purport is briefly told in the fol-
lowing letter addressed by the Presi-
dent to the Secretary of Agriculture:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary-In accord
ance with your suggestion, 1 have
submitted the matter concerning the
proper labelling of whisky Under the
Pure Food law to the Department of
Justice. / inclose the Attorney-G Gen
erals opinion. | agree with this
opinion, and direct that action be
taken in accordance with it.
Straight whisky will be labeled as
such.
mixture of two or more straight
WHISTLES will be labeled Slended
whisky or WHISTLES.
A mixture of straight whisky and
ethyle alcohol, provided that there is
sufficient amount of straight whisky
to make it genuinely a mixture"
will be labeled as compound, or COM
pounded with pure grain distillate
Imitation whisky will be labeled as
such.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Referring to sherry, port and Ma
deira, whose fiavors, the Attorney
General says, are distinct from each
other, he points out there is an evil
dent distinction to be drawn between
them and champagne, and adds:
"In the view of a chemist or
physicist, champagne would doubt
less be described as compound, for
it consists essentially of wine, of
sugar, and of an aerating gas, three
substances obviously unlike The
law, however, in my opinion, does
not contemplate that an article
should be marked as a blend com
pound or imitation unless it's desig-
nation would be otherwise false or
misleading to the consumer; and the
name champagne would indicate to
any would-be purchaser who was or
dinarily intelligent and we'll informed
wine artificially sweetened and
aerated, or, in other words, a COM
posite substance.
Compound land blend" are SUBJ
statially synonymous, the Attorney
General says, when applied to mix
lures of liquids, in ordinary speech,
but the Pure Food law establishes a
distinction between them, based upon
the character of the ingredients.
The Attorney-General declares that
according to the true intent of the
Pure Food law, mixture of whisky
with a neutral spirit must be deemed
compound" and not a blend
although the spirit may be distillate
from the same substance used tc
furnish the whisky, and that such a
mixture stands on the same footing
as mixture of whisky and brandy or
of whisky and rum.

THE NEW DUELLING SCHOOL IN
PARIS.

1t seems that after all the absurd
so-called "duels" which we read
about as having taken place in
France, Germany and Italy, may
really in the near future turn out to
be very lethal affairs indeed \Hith-
erto. if an officer, lawyer, a journal
list, or other insulted a colleague, sec
onds exchanged visits, a meeting was
arranged and shots fired with quite
farcical results as a general rule, for
ordinarily the average professional
man, even in a military nation like
France, is a deplorably bad shot, and
there was usually no more visible re-
suit after the so-called "duel" than
an amusing paragraph in the papers
That the French mean business in
the near future, however, in this mat
ter, will be seen from the fact that
regular dueling schools have just
been established in Paris, as we'll as
in Rome and Berlin and Vienna-not
merely for workmanship alone, but
for regular practice with the long
barreled dueling pistol. The princi-
pals wear long padded overalls, and
curious masks, like those of the deep

plaque in front of the face

clay, which, however, might do very
serious damage to the pupils in these

Lessons are first of all given in the
elaborate etiquette of dueling, and
next comes instruction in the neces-
sary department"
Last and most important of all
comes the duel proper, with the
measuring out of the ground, the
loading of the powerful spring pis
tolls with the soft clay balls, and the
aiming on the part of each combatant
at vital spot-usually the head. No
doubt the knowledge that the shoot
ing is innocuous tends to make the
duelists' aim very accurate, but
there can also be no question that it
familiarizes a man with the entire
routine of a procedure which, with
out this initiation, would be extreme
ly disconcerting to the bravest.
Needless to say the majority of the
pupils by no means have real duels
upon their hands, but among a pas
sionate people like the French, quick
to anger and to avenge real or fan
cied insult, there is no lack of at
