WOUND IN RED TAPE.
Widow with Enough Money for Her
Purposes Is Held as Pauper by
Government

BELOIT, Wis, Dec. 15.-LSpecial.l j
Mrs. II. NJ. Crandon, whose husband
was a member of the English Parlia-
ment, and who has money in banks in
England and the United States, has ar
rived in Beloit to spend her declining
years with her son, w. III. Godfrey,
after having been detained two weeks at
Ellis island as a pauper immigrant.
Mrs. Crandon was misunderstood by
the government official who examined
her on her arrival at New York. Mrs.
Crandon, who is Sc years old, was ad-
yised not to let everybody know that she
carried much money on her person and
so when the official asked her how much
money she had in her purse she told him
she had So, as she had a ticket paid to
Beloit and needed but little spending
money.
If she had been asked whether she had
more than this elsewhere on her person,
Mrs. Crandon would have informed the
official to that effect AS it was, he at
once set her down for a pauper and
sent her to Ellis island before she could
realize what was happening. 1t took
her son two weeks to unravel the red
tape and get his mother cut of the hands
of the government.

tween Photographers and the Rail-
way Companies.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 13.-Martin A.
Knapp, chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission, and Labor Commits
sioner Charles P. Neill took up the part
of mediators here today. Telegraphers
employed by the Illinois Central railway
formed one party to the controversy
the officials of the railroad the other par
ty. The telegraphers, all of whom are
affiliated with the Order of Railway
Telegraphers, had demanded 10 per
cent. increase in wages. The demand
was denied. Representatives of the en-
ployes and the company met the arbitra-
tors and explained the position each
takes.
Coincident with the meeting of the me-
diators in the telegraphers' dispute, a
conference committee from local switch
mems organizations met the committee
of general managers of railroads on
which demands for increased pay have
been made by the employees. The switch
men are seeking an increase of per
cent. in wages, and also ask modifca-
ton of some working rules.
Expectation of peaceful solution of
the differences has been pressed by the
railway officials.

OLIN CENSURES SLANG,
University Law Professor Takes Issue

1diomatic Vulgarisms

MADISON Wis, Dec. IA Special
In the introduction to his weekly lee
ture on property at the state university
law school, Prof. John NJ. Olin, recog-
nized as one of the leading members of
the bar of the state, criticized severely
the prevalent use of slang by university
students and deplored the evident lack
of heed given to the study and cultiva-
ton of the English language in the class
rooms at the University of Wisconsin.
Prof Olin's censure Of the use of un
authorized word forms came in the ma
ture of a reply to the hypothesis adj
vanced by Prof. NJ. V. O'Shea of the
department of education, to the effect
that the slang of today is the language
of tomorrow. thus countenancing the

cabulary, not only of the university stu
dent of the present generation but the

THREsHING CUCUMBEPS
Novel Sight on Some Western Irrigated
Farms

In western Kansas and eastern Colo
RADIO, where most vine crops grow to
perfection on the irrigated lands, hum
dredS OF acres of cucumberS, cantaloupes.
and WatermelonS are reserved for seed
by seed companies and by farmers who
Srow them for the seed houses. 1t is a
common sight from October to the first
OF december to see the seed threshers in
the fields of cucumbers and melons
threShing them for their Seeds says a
writer in the Kansas City Star.
The growing of cucumberS for seed is
considered very profitable, and often the
owner clears from 500 to $3.50 an acre
as the seed brings 81 to 81 a pound.
W hle the cuCumbers might be sold to
canning factories, many farmers prefer
TO let them remain for the seed. MS the
expense OF gathering is not so great, the
income an acre being about as much.
The threshing costs a reasonable amount.
Inc cucumbers are grown in rows six
feet apart both ways and the seeds are
planted the last of April or the first OF
May. After the plants come through the
ground, they are hoed and irrigated, the
burrows for the water running length
llSe with the rows and close to the hills.
\ cultivation is used to stir the soil and
keep 1t mellow until the vines are run
ming well between the rows then the
cultivation ceases. The cucumhers are
left to grow until the latter part of Sep
TENDER, when they are gathered and
piled for threshing. About five rows of
cucumbers are piled together.
The cucumber threSher is built on a
wagon-like frame, supported by great
wide wheels and drawn by two horses
At the rear of the machine is stationed a
little two-horse gasoline engine, which
operates the machinery of the thresher
Just in front of the engine is the crusher
that looks like a common cider mill. 1t
contains two iron rollers, moving togeth-
err and crushing the cucumbers as they
pass between them. Against the crush
er sits the framework containing the
Seede,.
Cucumbers pass from the Crusher into
this large cylindrical seeder, which sits
horizontally. The outer surface of the
seeder is q wire netting with meshes
large enough to permit the seed to drop
through into the vat below, but retaining
the crushed cucumbers. The front end
of the cylinder being lower than the
rear, the cucumbers are rolled slowly for
ward by its revolutions until they drop
out at the horses heels.
When the vat beneath the cylinder is.
filled with seed, a seed box is drawn on
low sled to the opening at the side of
the machine, and the seeds are allowed
to run out a spout into it. The thresh-
ing proceeds, and the seed is hauled
away to a place where it is thoroughly
washed from all foreign matter and
spread out ON screening wire enclosed in
frames to dry.

Lady St Heller, who has lust pub

Of n young lady in the '6Os: Nothing
could exceed the simplicity and economy
practiced by the young ladies of my
time. Our allowance was very limited
E1OO year was considered princely, es-
peciaily when it was augmented by our
parents providing our court dresser
The real cause of the lesser cost of
our toilettes lay in the fact that amuse-
ments were fewer ard were generally
confined to an occasional afternoon party
aud ball, so that only two changes Of
dress were necessary, even among those
who went out great deal.
"A certain number of people rode In
Rotten Row in the morning, but there
were no luncheon parties and no evening
parties; birmingham and Ranelagh were
unknown, and girls were hardly ever
asked out to dinner.
Evening receptions were rare, and
they were generally only attended by
older people, girls being usually put to
bed at s o'clock 70 sleep until $50, when.
refreshed and beautiied by their rest
they dressed for their ball.
las rule there was only one ball
each night, and, though there were en-
ceptions, but few people went to two, so
that the evening ended not later than
L:30, and if on rare occasions the invaria-
BILE rule was broken; the event found no
favor in the maternal eye.
1T is very difficult after the lapse of
so many years to compare the physique
and beauty of English men and women
then with those of today. If / were
critical l should say that women now
adays are prettier than their grandmoth-
srs-stronger, better developed, better set
up and certainly more independent and
more selfreliant than they were forty
years ago; but l do not think that the
men are as handsome or physically as
strong and as finely developed as their
grandfathers. New York Sun.

Recent experiments made at Braemar
with ski for the use of postmen when
the country is showed up have proved so
successful that the postof1ice officials in
various other districts In the Highlands,
including Speyside and Donside, are to
be similarly equipped. Frequently during
the winter the conditions in the remote
Highlands are quite Arctic, the country
being impossible to ordinary traffic. 1t

SEEKS MORE EVIDENCE,

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE mystic
rious case of Mrs. Ocey W. NJ. Snead
the young woman who was found dead
in the bathtub of the house at East
Orange, n. J., where she had lived with
her aunt, Miss Virginia O. Wardlaw,
now held, charged with her murder,
probably will not, as has been expected,
be presented to the grand jury of Essex
county, n. J., today, according to the
statement of Prosecutor Mott That
official said he was anxious to obtain
further evidence pending the presenta-
ton of the case. a signature of Ocey
Snead which the officials are satisfied is
authentic and therefore valuable for pur-
poses of comparison, was unearthed to-
day. This new example of the victims
writing, it is believed, will aid materially
in clearing up the authenticity of the dis
puted suicide note, which is now gener-
ally considered the crux of the case.
