OisposinQ Of the Baby.

Little Freddy was the only child in
the family He had no little sisters or
brothers to play with him. so when
he was told that baby sister had
come, he was very happy. But he soon
found that father and mother did not
pay so much attention to him as they
formerly had, and that baby seemed
to be considered Of more account
than he. This worried Freddy; but he
suddenly thought of something which
would help him out OF his trouble.
Some weeks before his father had put
a sign up: ashes to Give Away; In
quire Within" Freddy remembered
that a man had come and taken the
ashes away. So he got to work, and
one day surprised his father by dis
playing another sign, hung in promi-
nent place: "A Baby to give away.

Ohio-Mississippi Coal Trade.

The Mississippi coal trade,
which exists to-day, is one of the
greatest single movements of cargo in
the world. From Pittsburg to New Or
leans is 1000 miles, all downhi!l. Coal
in 1,000-ton barges is RATED into fleets
and towed down this distance b. pow
erful steamboats,, at a cost of less
than Is cents a ton, against a railroad
rate of about $4.50-from Pittsburg
to Memphis for 43 cents, against a rail
rate of $270. Millions of tons of coal
have gone this way and always will
go this way, because the boats have
only to drift, and those that come
back, mostly empty, are not hard to
shove upstream.-Everybod

Theories as to the Pyramids,

suSOs'SS 80 " VIC ~ 2u'Oos
Two principal theories have been
advanced for the erection of the
pyramids of Egypt. One, that each
king, on ascending the throne, began
to build a pyramid as a tomb and
monument to himself This was usual.
ly laid out upon comparatively
small scale, so that if the builder had
but short reign his tomb might be
complete. AS time passed successive
layers were added and the size of
the monument was thus proportiooed
to the length of the builders reign.
This theory Is combated by Petrie,
who believed that each pyramid was
begun and carried out upon a definite
design OF size and arrangement.

Frog FARMING; A New Industry.

Frog farming is destined sooner or
later to become very important ma
tional industry. predict that within
a very few years few farmers will
neglect to utilize their waste swampy
land for the rearing of frogs for the
market. Already the United States
uses more frogs in six months, it is
claimed, than France does in a year.
The value Of the annual catch in the
United States is fully 100000 and the
gross value to the hunters is more
than $4,000. There is not the slight
est doubt in the world that were frogs
available the value of the annual catch
would leap at once to more than a MIL
lion dollars.-Technical World.

choice of these two is victory for the

The vote was as follows Hebron, 81;

Mr.. Rowell is in the east at the bed
side of his father.
The convention was not called 70
order until some time after 2 o'clock,
the delay being caused by an effort upon
the part of the leaders of both factions
to agree upon a chairman. The ma
chine forces tried to prevail upon John
Gardner of Santa Cruz TO allow his
name to be presented, and Irving Mar
tin of this city was a candidate, but
finally 1t was agreed that the honor
should go to former Senator Thomas
Flint of San Benito county as COM
promise. He was a prominent candl-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
in 1902. Nevertheless Flint was placed
in nomination by Dr. Chester Rowell,
formerly state senator from Fresno
county and a prominent member of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league, and was
elected unanimously.
George r. Andrews of Fresno was

BUTTE, Mont, May 13.-On the eve
of the state Republican convention,
which will meet in Butte tomorrow to
elect six delegates to the Chicago con-
vention, nothing is certain except that
the resolutions will give an unqualified
Endorsement to the president and his
policies. Although the state central
committee a few weeks ago came out
for Taft, the friends of the Ohio man
have not yet attempted to force
through a resolution sending an in
structed delegation to the national
convention. Taft sentiment is strong,
and if the party in Montana instructs
for any one the secretary of war will
have the preference. At the same time
certain of the country districts have
their faVorite candidates, Hughes,
Knox and La Toilette having parti-
sans. and they will oppose an instruct-
ed delegation There is a disposition
on the part of some of the delegates
already here to instruct the Montana
delegation to do all in it's power to
bring about the nomination of Roose-
welt and a stampede in this direction is
not unlikely.
