MONKEYS ARE TO PICK FRUIT

the prune mems harvesting Ills.
Seely proposes to raise the monkey
to the level of the fruit grower, and
he is confident of ultimate success.
1T always has been difficult for US
to obtain adequate help when most
needed says Mr. Seely. When
hands are available we are imposed
upon in wages. Last year | sold the
crop of a 20-acre lot of prunes, ex-
pecting to have them gathered But
when the time for the first picking
arrived not one man or boy ap-
peared. Finally, with the help of
Japs and Chinese, l fulfilled my end
OF the contract, but at a loss. l hit
upon the idea of using monkeys
through a remark passed by a friend
of mine who saw the Japs scampering
around beneath the fruit trees, much
after the manner of simians.
Before coming to California |
worked in Central America, and
while there became acquainted with
A. b. James of Acapulco, Panama.
James owned a coffee plantation.
The forest about his ranch clearings
abounded with monkeys The ma
tives caught many young ones and
trained them TO pick fruit. So |
have written to James and he is gath
ering monkeys and will ship them
to me at once"

STATEMENT BY GOV. SMITH
HE REPLIES TO CRITICISMS IN
VOLVING STANDARD OIL.
Declares That Usage Lease Was Made
by Republicans, and Not While
He Was Secretary of Interior.

Declares Ihat Usage Lease Was Made
by Republicans, and Not While
He Was Secretary of Interior.
In reply to a charge made by a
Kansas newspaper that the oil lease
which Governor Haskell of Oklaho-
ma is attacking was one made by
Governor Hoke Smith when he was
Secretary of the Interior in Presi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet Governor
Smith has given out a statement to
the press. Here it is:
"The Usage lease, which Governor
Haskell has attacked, was made by
the republican administration. The
lease which was approved in 1896,
under my administration as secreta-
ry of the interior, expired March 16,
1906. 1t was granted before oil was
discovered in the Usage country, be-
forefore oil was discovered in Tex
as, when but little oil had been dis
covered in Kansas and when no oil
pipes or railroads were accessible
for transportation from the Usage
country.
THE lease was directed by the
Usage Indian national council, rec
commended by Colonel Freeman,
Usage Indian agent, and recommend
ed by the Indian bureau. 1t was
approved by Assistant Secretary
Reynolds.
When Secretary Hitchcock criti-
c1sed the lease of 1896 | went at
once to Washington. and on Feb
ruary Is, 1905, exposed through the
press his baseless charge. The
Washington Star of the following day
published an unofficial statement
from the interior department that the
statement made by Secretary Hitch
cock was without any intention of
charging Secretary Smith or any
other official of the department with
dereliction of duty
The department under my admin
istration approved the lease to in
d1viduals in a large undevelOped ter
ritory when there was little to en-
courage the expenditure of money for
boring for oil. The republican adj
ministration made a lease to cor
porations reported to be connected
with the Standard Oil Company of
$4,000 acres of developed oil fields.
1t is the republican lease which is
now the subject of attack"
This statement was occasioned by
The Daily Reporter, a newspaper of
Independence, Kan, charging that
Governor Smith--a democrat-made
the lease, and asking whether or not
Haskell knew he was attacking the
act of democrat.

An Estimate of "Fingy' Connors,
NegO YOrk's Democratic Chairman

Mr.. Bryan's reception in Buff
falO last night was of the
tumultuous variety, Chairman
Corners home having turned
out and gave the democratic
candidate such welcome as he
seldom has received on his pres
ent trip, and which tended to
lend color to Mr.. Corners heart
felt declaration that if Erie
county does not go for Bryan by
5000 he will never shake the
hand of the Commoner again
Philadelphia Record.
1t is quite the fashion, we know.
to comment disparagingly on the
qualifications of 'Fingy' Corners for
United States senator. We do not
know that he expects to be a candi-
date. But if he carries New York
state for Bryan and elects a demo-
cratic legislature he may have some
claim. Corners must have some
good points to enable him to rise
from the position of a longshoreman
to that of state leader. New York
state has a population of 7,268,OOO
and polls a vote of over a million.
A correspondent of The Press writes
to say that $4,000 democratic votes
would not elect Corners to his pres
ent position unless he had some quail
tiles which entitled him to leader
ship. Corners may not make an
eloquent speech, and his grammar
may not be above reproach. But
something like six hundred thousand
of fellow citizens are looking at him
now, and if he can help swing New
York state into the democratic col
umn we won't hear SO much about
his grammar, his white spots, or his

HALF DOLLAR SELLS FOR $3.50
Coin Minted at New Orleans in 1888
Brings a Record Price.

The highest price ever paid for a
United States silver half dollar, $3.50,
was bid for the 1888 f1fty-cent piece
with the mint letter Co." at the first
days sale of the coin collection of
the late James B. Wilson at the
Collectors Club, in New York, last
week.
This costly coin was issued at the
branch mint in New Orleans the first
year of operation, and there are said
to be but four specimens extant. A
specimen has not been offered for
quite a number of years, the last
bringing $113. The next highest
price was $3.50, paid for a 1894 sill
yer dollar, the first year of issue.
This identical piece was picked up
in London for $3.50. Gold proof
sets brought good prices. A set of
six pieces, dated 1863, brought
$117.50; another of 1864, SITS,
while one of 1866 of six pieces was
bid in for 1920. One of the finest
known 1897 half dollars brought

A WoMAN's FOUR ACRE FARM.


Successful women farmers are no
longer a novelty, numbers of them be-
ing found in all sections of the coun-
try. Possibly the smallest farm that
has provided a living for its owner is
carried on by Mrs. Jane G. Barrow of
Connecticut. This energetic lady has
succeeded in hammering living for
herself and two children on the profits
of four acre farm, sending the chill
dren to school meanwhile.
The enterprise was started without
capital seven years ago, Mrs. Barrow
being forced to incur debt to pay for
groceries and supplies until the farm
returns began to come in. Bees, small
fruits, and poultry were the founda-
ton. Only one acre of the four was
suitable for planting, and this acre
has really brought in most OF the IN
come by means Of a system OF 1nten'
sive farming which is remarkable, to
saw the least. One-fourth of this one
acre was devoted to poultry, and last
wear two thousand ducks were raised
and sold at weight of four pounds
each when between three and four
months old. The feather crop alone
amounted to four hundred pounds.
On this acre of tillable land, besides
the ducks, were one hundred fowls,
twenty-four turkeys, six pairs Of pig
cons and seventy-five stands of bees.
Pigeons were a profitable specially,
about four hundred pairs of SQUADS
having been sold. Ducks, however,
are considered more profitable than
pigeons. and Mrs. Barrow thinks OF
disposing of the pigeons and increas-
ing the duck area. The turkeys also
pay we'll. The white variety is kept
because the feathers are more valu-
able. The birds are sold during the
holiday season, and being especially
we'll fattened bring the very highest
prices. The bees are an excellent in
vestment and Mrs. Barrow considers
the work pleasant and suitable for
woman. Bees pick up their living In
the summer, but receive some extra
feeding in winter.
OF course the large supplies Of food
needed for the poultry are not raised
on the farm. They are bought out
side at considerable expense. Mrs.
Barrow hesitates to buy more land,
having made such a success on small
area. She is firmly of the opinion that
a common mistake made by women
who take up farming is to begin on too
large scale.-American Cultivator.
