ASSaiiant.

II the man who attacked Miss Amelia
SchroH, near her home at RossIya, Va,
last night, IS caught, IL viii be mainly
through The clues furnished by little

old son Os Commonwealth Attorney
Crandal Mackey.

morning FOR traces as 10 his where

had been heard OF him in spite OF the
indefstigable efforts OF CrandaI Mackey
and the police.
Thanks 20 the good look young Oar
lingtOn 0Iackey had OF the negro. the
seachers were able 10 proceed with a
thorough description OF TIE man. Early
this morning a coIored man answering
the boys description was seen crossing
the road which leads TO the river.
Following this clue, the common
wealth attorney, with two policemen.
started a careful examination Of the
men employed IN erecting the new pier
on the AQueGuct bridge All Of the
negroes, however. who answered the
description OF the assailant were able
10 prove satisfactory allbis and were
therefore not taken into custody.
Search Not Successful.
BY noon today the attorney decided
that a further search along these lines
would be useless, and decided 10 turn
his attention 10 the colored men who
make a practice OF Ioadng in and
around Rosslyn.
During the entire morning. the boy.
whose appearance on the scene last
night saved Miss SchrOfr from harm
was with the searchers. Several times
he thought he saw men who looked

Miss Schron. who IS employed az a
millinery store in T street. was in no
way injured by the attack last night
and was able 10 attend her work this
morning She declined to discuss the
matter further than to express her hone
that her assGilaur would be brought 10
justice
Her mother is far more psrturbed over
the matter. This morning she secured
q revolver, and declared that Il any
place IL would be the worse for him.
Owes Escape to Boy.
Undoubtedly. Miss SehroR owes her
escape from her assailant's clutches en-
t1rely TO the timely arrival OF young
AIac1ey. When the cOlOred man grabbed
the girl, the boy, who was walking
along the road, started forward at the
same time, yelling at the top or his
voice.

Perhaps she read the statement made
by the Department of Agriculture that
the value of the eggs laid by the hens
Of the United States in a year would
be enough to pay off the national debt
or maybe she ''just thought it up" but
anyway this pretty little Baltimore girl
was convinced that she had everything
all fixed. She has been engaged to a
very nice young fellow for some time
but to most people the amount Of his
present salary would appear an insur-
mountable obstacle to matrimony. This
was the view Of her father, but when
expressed she met it with a happy
smile
"Oh, have thought that all out" she
declared.
"YOu have, eh?" papa asked, know
ing something Of his daughters bust
ness abilities.
Yes, and it was so easy" she bub-
bled. II was passing the market the
other day, and 1 saw a dear little polka
dotted hen for only 60 cents, and l
bought her. 1 read in poultry paper
that hen will raise twenty chicks in
a season. Well, next year We'll have
twenty-one hens, and so, of course,
there'n be 420 chicks the next year, and
8,4OO the next, and 10000 the next,
and 100000 the next. And just see
what that amounts to! Why, selling
them at 80 cents each would give us
S1,5OO,OOO in five years, and that won't
be so long to wait for that much."--

The annual report of the Secretary
of Agriculture shows that the value OF
the crops Of 1907 is greater than that
for any previous year in the history of
American farming. The figures are
hard to appreciate, because the total
amount is so large. The statement
that the crops will yield the farmers
of the country seven and Il half bill
lions of dollars is better understood
when some comparisons are made. The
Secretary furnishes these comparisons.
Taking corn, for example, and indicat-
ing the value of the crop of 1907 to be
larger than that of 1906, he says that
with the money gained from eight
crops like the one of 1907 it would
be possible to duplicate every mile of
steam railroad in the country, paying
for all railroad property, terminals,
rolling stock, and everything else con-
nected with the service. AS four-fifths
of the corn of the world Is produced
in the United States there is interest
in the statement that seventeen years
of corn crops like the one Of this sea
son would replace the banking power
of the world, banking capital, surplus,
deposits, and circulation. The order of
the crops from the standpoint of value
will surprise many, corn being follow
ed by hay, cotton, and wheat Dairy
products are shown to be more valua-
BILE than any crop except corn, aud
poultry products closely approximate
the value Of the hay crop of the year.
The cotton yield of six hundred mil
lions value represents just about half
of the amount received from the live
stock sold from the farms. With many
different products bringing him wealth
from an ineNhaustible storehouSe the
farmer has every reason for pride in
his Importance as the representative
of the greatest industry on earth. When
the $7,5OO,OO0,OOO yielded by agricul-
ture is added to the $14,S00,000,000 rep
resenting the value of the output II
the manufacturing production in mis-
country for the last fiscal year the vast
ness of the wealth of the people of the
United States is apparent. With each
year adding improvements to farming
methods and opening up new territory
for agricultural purposes as reclama-
ton projects are being pushed, the
prospect for the future seems one Of
unbounded promise as long as the sun
shines and the rain falls.

must be taken in seating ones self,
that the skirt is not drawn too closely
over the knees, which is in itself un-
graceful.
The feet should not be thrust for
ward. Keep them just under the front
round of the chair.
Sit upright. This does not mean
stiffness, but it does mean keeping the
spine straight, instead of curved. Don't
let the shoulders droop forward.
Don't cross the hands on the lap In
a ''prunes and prisms" fashion; let
them lie easily.
Don't thrust the head forward, or
hold it down, unless you desire to Gull
tivate the double chin habit.
Don't lean your face on your hands
or support your head that way; it
brings the elbows into prominence and
makes sharp angles instead of curves
out of the lines of your figure; more
over, it pushes up the flesh of the face
and helps form lines.
Keep these few "Don'ts'' in mind
until they become second nature, and
you will easily and unconsciously fall
into an easy, graceful attitude when
seated
