This little book by Herbert N. Cas-
son which was published serially In
Everypody's Magazine before appear
Ing as bound volume Is really a his
tory OF the development OF agriculture
during the last 80 years, and wildly
portrays the results which haze been
accomplished by labor-saving ag-icul-
tural machinery. II also shows how
great industry has grown up In the
United States, and how, by conceutrat-
Ing plants and resources and manufac-
turing on large scale, Americans are
able to make the best machines at a
low cost and sell them in every coun-
try Of the globe. 1t thus Is a direct
reply TO Bismarck's question-"Why
don't we make these machines in Ger
many?
1t is not book for farmers only
but one In which all who desire In

try will find interest.

safe to a reasonable degree The
president Is usually late in coming to
the theater. for his departure is timed
accurately, and he wishes to arrive
just after the curtain has risen. BY
that time most Of the audience is seat
ed and the crowd in the lobby is
smallest. Very often, however, the
crowd has heard informally that the
president Is coming, and waits in the
lobby to see him. When the White
House carriage arrives the secret
service men hastily form a passage
way, and the president and his party
enter the theater.
President Roosevelt is partial to
musical comedies. When FRITZ Scheff
played Mile. Modiste" In Washing
ton. he was present with Mrs. Roose-
Welt the opening night, and liked 1t
so much that he attended the perform
mace second time, when the singer
returned to Washington. Mrs. Roose-
welt has seen FRITZ Scheff in Mile.

president saw her the second time,
he sent for her between the acts, and

She was In the piquant, short-skirted
costume she wears while singing the
drum song, and had the drum with
her at the time. The president and
Mrs. Roosevelt were much charmed
by the little Austrian's captivating
ways.
The president Is practically the only
official In Washington who receives
theater courtesies. Unlike Edward
VII, who always pays for his theater
seats, Mr.. Roosevelt Is always The
guest" OF the management. 1t has
been customary for many years for
the White House to give polite in
timation to the theaters whenever the
president desired the courtesies OF
the house. 1t is possible that Mr..
Roosevelt does not know that his
tickets are not paid for. as the ar
rangements are always made by Mr..
Loeb, or one OF the White House
ushers.

TWO WHO KEEP CHRISTMAS

A certain young woman, daughter
of a leading merchant and blessed with
bounty the year through, undertook 20
carry some of the abundance of her
Yuletide to the less fortunate She
sought and obtained the help Of the
Associated Charitic-, with a shrewd
purpose not to allow her charity to de-
feat its own object. An agen, helped
her find a dozen families of worthy
poor- From house to house she went
tactfully- mostentatiously, with kind
ness in her heart and arms rather than
on her lips
In one little home she came upon
three or four youngsters, none too
warm. none too well fed, none too
happy in their hopes of Santa Claus
She and the agent took out of her bas-
ket a train n-on track for one Of the
bows. with some mittens and stockings
wrapped inside. For another boy they
found something TO touch both sides OF
his nature likewise. All this time a
little girl stood still but apprehensive
against the wall. The child watched
for the next package eagerly When II

Another instance At Eighth street
and Market space Is one OF the largest

with incandescent lights and a hag
shines brilliantly. Every passer-by has
seen these decorations and been glad
for them.
How many, do You think, had their
Christmas impulses sharPened by these

any one Of the number the influence Of
them Is spent
