THE EVENING STORY.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

When Nathanson returned from
Europe TO his old haunts along the
diamond grounds in Kimberley, he
found a general disposition TO let BY

They met in the club.
II don't intend 10 allow any stealing
from my mine. Nathanson,' shouted
the angry Dutchman. remembering
how many times he had been outwitted
by his adversary. Il warn you. Nath-
anson. I'll spend my whole fortune 70

"AIy dear Van Claim" said Nath-
anson, I'm not going TO steal from
YOU when it's so much easier TO take
I'm going 10 get control of your dia-
mond mine. and you're going 10 pay
me for taking it."
That was the declaration OF war.

WE NOW CONSUME
NEARLY ALL THAT
We RAISE
Most of Our Food Products Are
Utilized at Home.
MARGIN MARROW, SAYS HILL
Enormous Balance in Our Favor Ten
Years Ago Has Dwindled
Away.

St Paul. Mimi, Nov. 27.-While
not entirely agreeing with the recent
statement issued by Bradstreets,
which intimates that the consump
ton of food products in this country
has caught up with production, James
j. Hill says that the point has been
nearly reached and that We are so
close to it that there is reason for
alarm
1T is a matter which should be
seriously considered" said Mr. Hill
Our present balance of trade is an
indication that the margin between
our production and consumption is be-
coming narrower. A comparison OF
the figures of ten years ago and those
of today shows that our enormous
balance of that time has dwindled
way. We are not exporting food
stuffs as we were. We are consum-
ing them ourselves.
The increase in price this year
over last year is matter of supply
and demand"

SCARED INTO AToNEMENT
Jacob LaItz Meets Something Awful
in White After Being Mean

Singac, n. j., Nov. 25.-Jacob Laitz
of this place went over to. Cedar
Grove last night to attend a Thanks
giving fowl rattle There were fifty
turkeys and geese to be played for.
Before the rattle began it was agreed
that if luck gave to any man more
than five fowl he was to turn all over
that number into the hands of the
pCCrmaster of the township for distrl-
button among the needy,
After an hour or so Laitz found
that he had won three turkeys and
five geese. He intimated that he was
going home Immediately and that the
poormaster would get none of his
fowl. Others of the twenty-four play
ers who had won more than the limit
said they agreed with Laitz. In the
quarrel and scufTiing that followed
Latte slipped out with his three tur-
keyr and five geese.
This load OF fowl was a heavy one
LaitZ went hurrying along the road as
fast as he could go, which asn't very
fast as he could go, which wasn't very
beyond the Erie railroad bridge over
te Pompton turnpike There he stop
ped to rest Without so much as a
single knock, much less the usual
three knocks, white form drifted in
front of Laitz He dropped his eight
fowl and fled toward the tip of the
mountain.
The first white figure was then
joined by two others, who, when they
had taken off their white sheets stood
out as William Bell, George Traut-
Elm and Felix Mcclure, three of the
men with whom Latte had been play
ing for fowl. They left two geese
and one turkey at Laitz's home. The
other five fowl they gave to poor fam
lilies in the neighborhood.
