THE PRESIDENTS SOUVENIRS.

! can't forbear mentioning Mr..
Roosevelt's souvenirs. They represent
his democracy far better than reams of
"reminiscences could. Mr.. Mckinley
once had three carloads of such tokens
hitched onto his special train; but Mr..
Roosevelt must altogether have at
least three train loads He cannot

snakes from a travelling sideshow,
canes, vases-everything that the
generosity of the American nation can
conceive has been given to him at one
time or another.
He used to get flowers and bouquets
by the bushel, generally presented by
some of the young ladies of the town;
and these offerings would finally pile
up to such an extent that the porter
would be compelled to open the car
-window and throw them out to make
way for those of the next town. An
amusing incident in this connection
occurred at little Kansas town, Russell.
The Presidential train was just pull
ing out of the depot when through the
crowd came a barefoot boy, running
with all his might and earring bouquet
in his hand. He yelled. Roosevelt
saw him; so did the whole populace.
We'll said the President, 81 can't
run away like this and insult the boy, .
so he pulled the bell rope and brought
the train to stop,
The youngster came up breathlessly
and delivered the roses. Roosevelt
smiled and handed him dollar, and
the incident was closed. Later, as the
train was speeding on its way, his
''dee-lighted" smile was bit troubled,
and he called in the porter.
| Jerry" he said, cit seems to me
these flowers are rather withered,
aren't they? The boy must of had
hard time getting through the
crowd. - ''Well, they ought to be
withered,' was the answer. '"That
there bouquet has been on this train
three days, and just threw it out of
the window back at that town. - There
is boy somewhere in Kansas who will
be captain of industry one of these
days.

PROFITABLE DAIRY BUSINESS.


C. w. Plum gave US some figures the
other day in a general way in CONVEX
sation about his dairy business. His
statements were not for publication,
but they are so good that we shall
publish them anyway, in part. Last
season was his first to engage in the
dairy business, and he kept very ac-
eurate account of the proceeds. Dur
ing the year he MIXED at times as
many as 13 cows, and sometimes as
few as 5. His average was 8 cows.
The. cream sold for the year averaged
a little over $32 per COW for the 13
head. No work churning, packing
away the butter, taking to town and
selling for trade but sells cream to the
Continental, the children can haul to
town and get the cash every week.
Wife happier, life easier, dairying a
pleasure. Besides that he sold the
calves last winter when about 9 months
old for SIT per head. The value of the
milk remaining for hog feed and other
purposef should also be considered.
Mr.. Plum states that this season thus
far, his cows are averaging. one-fourth
better than last. He feeds his milk
cows through out the season and finds
that it pays to do so. 1t requires only
about two hours each day for three
members of the family to do the milk
ing and separate the cream. Such re-
ports undoubtedly prove that the
dairy business is a very profitable side
line for the farmer. Luray Herald.

but appearances are against it.
If they do not wish American" sue

If they are sincere, why don't they

Republican candidates for city office
have no more chance of success than a

THE EVOLUTION OF HEARST.

William Randolph Hearst is one of
the most interesting figures In Ameri-
can political history today; and he has
never been more interesting than in his
recent declarations as TO his policy and
convictions. AT the jamestown expo
sition in a speech on Labor day he as
tonished his hearers by a most con-
sentative discussion of the relations of
labor and capital. How surprising his
speech was is indicated by the fact that
nearly every prominent newspaper in
the country commented on It. and the
Socialists called it a confession Of aIli-
ance with capitalism.
Even more surprising TO the politi-
clans is Mr.. Hearst's announcement
through the press associations on Tues
day that he is not a candidate for the
presidency because, as a candidate, his
motives would be misunderstood and
miscOnstrued. AS he himself puts it:
7 cannot conceive of any conditions
under which I would be willing to be-
come a candidate This determination
is not because OF any feeling of pioue
or disappointment at the result of the
late election. I am well satisfied to
have the efforts OF the league through
the election of others to promote the
principles 1 stand for. 1 dislike hold
ing Office and dislike being placed in a
position where the sincerity of my
principles can be questioned through
campaigning for some office that don't
want and that 1 would only consent to
hold through sense of public duty. as

spicuous. candidate before the Demo-
cratic convention in St Louis. Since
then he has organized his Independence

KING EDWARDS WEALTH.
Ruler of England Owns Property Val
ued at 500, 100000.
(Boston Globe.)

While the king of England is granted
about AOOOOO0 a year by the BRUSH par
lament in what Is termed the civil nsI
this forms only a fraction OF his majesty
real wealth as the king actually owns
property valued at close to SlOOUO.OOJ- AS
a matter of fact the king of England mus
be considered as weather. than an Amer
lean with $4,000 900. Moreover. the king
has his money invested all in real estate
and owns more real estate than any Other
single English-speaking individual, ex-
cept perhaps, William Waldorf Astor, the
elder, who owns blocks and blocks of New
York real property, although he has be-
come a naturaliZed subject Of the Eng
lish monarch.
The crown lands are what make up the
wealth of England's ruler. These are
enormous in extent and cover great por-
lions of London and are in every county
in England These crown lands are not
and never have been national property
On the contrary, they have always con-
stituted a personal and private appanage
of the English crown, some of them com
ing down from as far back as the misty.
historic days of the Norman conquest
back in the twelfth century.
This enormously valuable property Is
strictly entailed That is no English ruler
can sell it or separate it from the throne
This is the only property in the British
empire which still comes under this old
feudal regulation of law. The whole OF
the so-called new forest is crown land
and is worth many millions. 1t cannot be
sold and so far King Edward has not de-
Yeloped this property at all.
round dozen of the best known clubs
in London rent their grounds from the
king. Marlborough House pays ground
rent to the crown. Stafford House and
the Carlton Gardens pay enormous ground
rents to King Edward. So does the Duke
of Buccleuch for Dover House, which is
the dukes famous palace In the White
hall district. King Edward, while still
Prince of Wales, was given by his mother,
Queen Victoria. the great ducy of Ian
caster, which owns forests and farms and
great estates in thirteen counties in Eng
land. King Edward is said to have inner
tied the Scotch properties of BalmOral,
BailOchbine and Abergeldie. He owns the
great estate of Claremont and another al
Coburg and a villa at Baden-Baden. He
owns SandTingham, where he prefers to
reside, and also the vast properties at
tackled to the duChy of Cornwall. One
source of his wealth is called the Neild
legacy, which was left to Queen Victoria
in 1852 by a famous miser. James Neild.
This was about million at the time and
is now supposed to have increased to a
million and half Thus IL is evident that
King Edward is enormously wealthy.
When his privileges are considered and his
opportunities for making money in stocks
are figured up. it is easy to see that his
majesty Of England will probably die
richer than any American or other Eng
ltshman, barring perhaps two Americans

/ ANDIs VS.. MoFFETT.

As expected. the Alton railroad has
escaped Indictment and prosecution for
giving rebates which resulted in the
conviction and heavy penalty inflicted
on the Standard Oil company in Judge
Lands court. On the strength of
promises made by the United States
district attorney which secured the evil
dence from the Alton against the Stan
dard, Judge lands instructed the fed
eTal grand jury that It need not con-
slider the case as affecting the railroad
company
But he did not stop with that. In
stead. he called the attention of the
grand jury to a circular issued by
James A. Moffett, president of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, the
convicted corporation, in which Moffett
said: Thousands of tons of freight
have been shipped from these points
(the same points involved in the Stan
dard case) during the past fifteen years
under the same circumstances as the
Standard shipments; and If the Stan
dard is guilty IN this case. so is prac-
tically every other shipper in this great
manufacturing territory. Is there
purpose in selecting the Standard as
the victim?"
Judging from Judge Landis' comment
on this circular. Mr.. Moffett is going
to have a chance to prove his assertions
or confess that he belongs to a large
and undesirable class of citizens. A
subpoena issued for him on order of the
court VIII afford him an opportunity TO
tell the grand jury what his reasons
are for the statements made in the cir
cular. If he proves his case, wholesale
prosecution OF shippers for receiving
rebates will follow: if he fails to prove
the truth OF his assertions. something
dreadful is due to happen to him.
A passing acquaintance with the
judge presiding. and common knowl-
edge Of the governments fondness for
Standard Oil officials, justifies the as
sumption that James A Moffetts lit
erary efforts may yet make that S29,-
100000 fine look good to him. 1t is not
impossible that Lands, J.. late of In
diana. may decide to give Moffett time
for reflection in solitary durance on
the sins Of the oil monopoly and the
foolishness of rejecting on the wisdom
and fairness of federal court judges.
