Down the Steep Bank.

Down on a dirty bundle of straw
thrown on the mud floor in the dark
and sitting hut lay a mother and
child. The mother trembled as she
thought of what her husband would
say when he came home and found
the new baby a worthless girl.
Arriving home soon after the baby
was born, he asked whether the gods
had given him a boy or girl. The
answer from the mothers heart came
with fear and dread. Knowing this
cruelty. she for a moment hesitsted
to answer him, then sobbed out in
despair, ut is n girl" At once he
began to curse and VOW vengeance on
the little life. Throw it away on the
hills for the wolves to eat" he cried
in anger. Cast it out, or will dash
it to the ground"
Quick IS thought she snatched up
the newly-born gift OF sorrow and
slowly glided out Of the house into
the cold night air. A few moments
later this heart-broken heather
mother stood beside the high bank
Oe the river running by the village.
She pressed the babe to her bosom,
save it a long farewell, and let it
roll down the steep bank.-Mission.

Exposition officials are endeavoring
to enlist the approval OF the Presi-
dent in the proposition to extend the
life OF the Exposition. Those who
visited the President with this end
IN view were President Harry ST.
George Tucker. George f. Adams.
Lancaster Williams, and Thomas Mel
son Page.
President Tucker said the matter
OF extending the exposition was now
under consideration by committee
OF the board OF directors. and action
probably would be announced short
~ The only thing asked of the gov
eminent, he said, was an appropria-
ton to keep the government exhibits
open few months. AS an argument
favoring this, he called attention to
the fact that the government exhibit
IS to be sent to Seattle next fall, and
he expressed the belief that it would
be money-saving investment. for
the government to permit the exhibit
to remain at jamestown instead of
reshipping and rehandling it a sec
ond time.
lnasmuch as Congress does not
convene until after the exposition
closes, it has not been disclosed just
how this appropriation, if Congress
were favorable, could be made in time
to keep the exhibit where it now is.

room known as the sweat box"
Here the manufacturer of an automo-

fore his advertising campaign opens
and a long consultation is held for
the purpose of getting at the facts
about his product ana his business.
The manufacturer is willing to talk
and to tell all he knows. The World
To-day says that formerly stenogra-
pher sat in the room and took down
everything the manufacturer said.
But the habit of dictation hindered
him. He spoke formally, and his
thoughts took useless channels. Now
the stenographer is hidden in a COM
partment. The manufacturer talks
for record without knowing it. He
chats easily and has his commercial
portrait taken as though he were in
the studio of n photographer who
hides the camera. He discusses com
petition, manufacturing secrets, his
products, shortcomings, as well as
its beauties. When he leaves the

The plant is easily and cheaply grown,
and the yield is very large, soil of
average quality yielding ten tons to
