! Why the Tables Are Green.

Billiards is one Of the oldest games
| know Of, said sporting man. SIT
IS older even than croquet which was
played by French kings great many
hundred years ago. But, while billiards
is SO old, I'll bet none Of the devotees
of the worries and the cue can tell me
why billiard table covering is green.
The billiard table is always green
Well, the answer is simple enough.
Billiards is merely a corruption of the
good old English game Of bowls, which
was played on a beautifully green
lawn. On rainy and winter days. how
ever, your English sportsman couldn't
enjoy his bowls, SO some clever Johnny
conceived the scheme Of playing bowls
indoors on his imitation green lawn. 1t
was too much of cinch. however,
playing this game with the hand in
such close quarters. so the cue was
introduced to put skill at a premium
that's why billiard tables are green."-

DRY LAND FARMING
METHOD FOUND SUCCESSFUL
IN wAsCo COUNTY
The Dallcs Chronicle Tells of Inter-
estmg and Successful Experiments
Carried On BY Farmer Near That
Clty-Potato Raising Found to Be
Especially Successfsfl.

Dry land farming is being used on
Pleasant Ridge with the best of re-
suits. especially in potato raising,
says The Dalles Chronicle.
Last week Peter Omeg, a promi-
nent rancher of that neighborhood,
brought to The Chronicle office 2S
specimens of potatoes of the Burbank
variety which weighed SO pounds
Each tuber was perfect and there
was not a twin in the lot In telling
a Chronicle representative how he
raised his crop this year. without
rain, he said:
"The great secret in raising pota-
toes in our neighborhood is in pre-
pairing the ground and its care after
being planted When started to pre-
pare my ground for the potatoes l
plowed the land and then used a drag
1t was then left for about two weeks
and then plowed again, the potatoes
being dropped in the burrows. After
finishing planting, the ground was
dragged. When the young plants
were about four inches high 1 used
the drag again. this being all the cul-
tivating they received. The crop was
raised entirely without irrigation.
''The land on which 1 raised this
crop of potatoes was old and had been
planted in small grain for Is years
and was supposed to have been about
worn out. In all 1 had about eight
acres and they netted me $25.25 per
acre-2S1 sacks of fine marketable
potatoes and about 25 sacks of small
potatoes which I will not sell. plant
ed all perfect seed and you can see
the result. 1 started to harvest my
crop September 26 and finished No
-vember q"
Mr.. Omeg stated that he thought
that this was a practical demonstra-
tion of what could be done by using
the dry farming. or dust mulch sys-
TEN. He also stated that his crop of
potatoes was raised without any rain
all of the moisture coming from
below and held around the roots of
the plants by the surface cultivation.
With potatoes at their present price
this would seem to be a very nice re-
turn from land which has been prac-
tically worn out with small grain
crops and doubtless. the farmers in
Mr.. Omeg's neighborhood will profit
by his example.

PAPE-KETCHEL BATTLE.
Excited Followers Of Pug Game Arr
F1Ocking to San Francisco.

F1ocl<ing to San Francisco.
San Francisco, Nov. 25.-Wildly ex-
cited followers of the pugilistic game
are flocking into San Francisco today
by hundreds. and in the cafes where
sporting men congregate the sole top
ic Of conversation is this evenings s
great battle for the middle weight
title between Bill Papke and Stanley
Ketchel. Tickets Of admission are
selling like hot cakes and the big
auditorium will be crowded with ca
ger fight fans when the Grand Rap
ids boy and the Illinois thunderbolt
face each other in the ring.
Both Ketchel and Papke issued
statements today in which they as
sert their assurance of victory, and
both declare that the scheduled 20
rounds will be quite unnecessary to
decide the winner. Friends of both
men are backing their favorite heav-
lily and shrewd followers of the
game figure that more money will
be played on the middleweights than
on any two men who have locked
horns in an important pugillstic event
since Burns and Squires amused tho
crowd for half round. It looks like
such an even proposition that nearly
every sport is willing to take a rea-
sonable chance.
While the betting on tonight's bat
tie opened at even money, there are
Indications that Papke will rule a
slight ringside favoride. Papke's last
decisive victory over the former
holder Of the middleweight title was
so clean that many Of the local sports
will ride right with him in the belief
that he is strong enough to repeat.

The Upper Rhine,

At present the Rhine may be said
to be navigable only to- Mannheim,
which town has in consequence be-
come the greatest inland port in
Germany, with an active transship-
ping traffic to southern Germany
and Switzerland The continuation
Of the Rhine regulation to Strass-
burg offers considerable difficulty,
because the Rhine carries much
detritus, which results in continual
changes of the waterway. Until re-
Gently it was doubtful whether it
would be possible to build lasting
channel, and it had therefore been
suggested to build a canal parallel
to the river. This scheme has, how
ever, now been abandoned, and re-.
peated and successful attempts have
been made to navigate the Rhine
between Strassburg and Basel, so
that this part Of the river will prob
! ably be made navigable.-London

Mr.. Moody's Gallantry.

Attorney General Moody was
once riding on the platform of a
Boston street car, standing next to
the gate that protected passengers
from cars coming on the other
track. A Boston lady came to the
door of the car and as it stopped
started toward the gate, which was
ridden from her by the men stand
ing before it.
>"Other side, please, LADY," said
the conductor.
He was ignored as only born
and bred Bostonian can ignore a
man. The lady took another step
toward the gate.
"You must get off the other side"
said the conductor.
81 wish to get off on this side"
came the answer in tones that con
gealed the official into momentarv
silence. Before he could explain or
expostulate Mr., Moody came to his
assistance.
"Stand to one side, gentlemen"
he remarked quietly. "The lady
wishes to climb over the gate."-

WATER LILY SEEDS AS FOOD.

People who feed on water lilies
have recently been made the sub
ject of special study by govern
ment scientists. They are a tribe
of Indians, native to southern Ore
gon and dwelling at the eastern foot
Of the Cascade mountains. "Kla-
math," they call themselves, and
their harvest of the food in ques-
ton is obtained from a vast shall
low area of fresh water, 10000
acres of which are covered in the
summer time with "wokas," as the
plant that furnishes the crop is
named.
The plant is great yellow water
lily, known to botanists as Nym-
phaea polysepala, and it seems to
have furnished a staple food of the
klamath in primitive times. Liv-
ing, as they do, on a government
reservation, they are less dependent
upon the crop for food than in for
mer days, but it is still regarded by
them as delicacy. Not the flow
ers themselves, but the seeds, are
eaten, the seed pods being gathered
in August by the women of the
tribe, who use for the purpose queer
looking dugout canoes, pushing the
boats through the thickly growing
lilies by means of poles.-Myerson's
Magazine.
