QUERY: WHAT DID HE EXPECT
Recipient of Package From India
Seemed Disappointed.

G. T. Porter the brownsville sta
ton agent, returned Sunday night
from three weeks vacation. during
which he visited Chicago, St. Louis,
Omaha and other stations that have
big names. Mrs. Porter and the chill
dren who accompanied him on the
trip, are now at Kelley Lake, .yis.,
who are now at Kelly Lake, Wis,
where they will remain during the
rest of the summer.
This morning. while tanning him
self, Mr.. Porter remarked reminis-
Gently that he had feltvery comfort
able, the night beforeleaving the
lakes sitting cioce to q big log fire the
very thought of which raised his
temperature several degrees now.
In the pile of mail that awaited his
attention on his return to work was a
pound of Ceylon tea sent by parcels
post from Ceylon, India, by Col. JEFF
N Miller, former general manager of
the Brownsville road, but now de-
taehed globe trotter. The tea was
very carefully wrapped up in heavy
tinfoil and judging from the careful

TRADE IN REPTILES

The trade in snake skins does not
at fret thought suggest Itself as enc
requiring large capital or very COM
plicated organization, at least in this
country. But in the far east things
are different, says the Boston Herald.
The Java Reptile Skin Company has
been incorporated in the island of
that name, with capital of $4,000.
Branches will be established in a
number of places throughout the is
land, where live snakes will be pur-
chased from native hunters. Great
stress is placed upon buying the
reptiles alive, since the skin is much
more valuable if the snake is skinned
while yet alive Live snakes II to Is
feet in length bring good prices;
while dead snakes are drug in the
market The woman who wears with
pride daintily bound snake skin card
case will probably not give thought
to the fact that the material was
stripped from a living snake. Ever
since the episode in Eden some few
thousand years ago snakes have APP
parently had no right to have their
feelings considered.

with Curt Welsh on thin. oass: .iarA,l
son let loost a wild pitch wn.- go.
by Mike Kelly and Welsh scampereo
home with the run that won st. Louis
the worlds championship.
We all remember. or. at least the,
oI~ .-..ruers do, how the Athletics won
the championship in 1883 on wild
pitch. 1t was in the last game of the
season. The Athletics needed one
more victory to insure them the pen
nant- They wound up the season at
Louisville with a series of four games.
The Louisville players. spurred on
by offers of big money from Chris Won
der Abe, whose St Louis Browns had
a chance to tie the Athletics, tried
all they knew how to earn the cash
promised them by Chris to take four
straight games from the Philadel-
phians. The Athletics had played
themselves out and were sadly Grip
pIed after the hard campaign they
had gone through.
Louisville had won the first three
games and it looked bad for the Ath-.
letics. Then came the final game. and
Guy Hecker, Louisvllle's great pitcher
of those days, was sent in to ad-.
minister another beating to Billy.
Sharsig's men. After a fierce strug-
gle the score was a tie when the ninth
inning opened.
Stovey, the Athletics star hitter
and greatest base runner in tie coun-
ery. made a hit In the ninth and
worked his way around to third base
by the time two of HIS teammates had
been disposed of. Then, with two
down, Hecker made a wild pitch and
Harry raced home with the run that
won the game and gave the Athletics
the championship
In 1903 a wild pitch by Jack Ches-
bro cost the New York Americans
the pennant. On the last day of the
season New York and Boston were
scheduled to play two games on the
same afternoon. Boston had lead
Of one game To win the flag New
York had to capture both games that
day.
New York had the lead in the first
game until the closing inning, when
Chesbro made a wild pitch which let
in q couple of runs. Those runs won
Boston the game and the champion
ship.
Last year Theodore BreItenstein
lost the pennant in a similar way for
New Orleans It required the last
game of the season to decide the race,
and New Orleans lost, and on a fatal
wild pitch which Breitenstein made.

INHERITANCE

Lo, what am /? A patch of things,
Mere ends and odds of lives flung by,
From age-long rag bag gatherings,
Pieced up by fate full thriftily:
Somebody's worn out will and wit,
Somebody's habits and his hair,
Discarded conscience, faith once fair
Ere time, the moth, had eaten it;
Ny Observation-Disclosures chin and nose,
The eyes my great-grandmother wore
And hands from some remote-who
knows?
Perchance prehensile ancestor;
Somebody's style, somebody's gait,
Another body's wrist and waist,
With this ones temper and that ones
trait,
Ones taste, aRother's lack Of taste;

AIRsHIPs IN INTER-
NATIONAL LAW.


While the time when dirigible ballons
and heavier-than-air flying machines
will become practical commercial car
riers seems far distant. the art of
navigating the air has become suffi-
GENTLY advanced to warrant the
consideration of the subject from an
international point of view That ae-
rial navigation viii play some part
in the next war is certain, and, al
though it is more than probable that
the part played will be confined to
scouting, messenger service and the
like, it has already been suggested
that the dropping of highexplosives
by balloons and other aerial craft be
regulated by international agreement
Aside from the military feature of
aerial navigation, however, there has
arisen rather practical considera-
ton which the. countries of Europe
are already wrestling with Each
country maintains eustomshouses on
its frontiers and ievies tariff duties
on imports as well as vises the pass
ports of travellers. Balloonng has be-
come so common that such craft are
constantly crossing the frontier lines
and coming down in alien territory.
1t has been suspected that in many
cases these aerial travellers, although
seemingly merely aeronautic enthus-
lasts, are actually military observers,
who have journeyed through the air
for the purpose of making topograph-
ical observations of the neighboring
country. 1t is also possible that bal
looms may sometime be used to
facilitate smuggling of valuable ar
ticles across the frontier.
At any rate, the subject seems to
have been regarded of sufficient con-
sequence to be considered both in
France and Germany. The German
balloonists claim that when their air.
ships cross over into French territory
the French customs officials compel
them to pay heavily in dues for the
privilege of coming to earth in France
While the question of regulating
traffic through the air may seem ra-
Their ridiculous to people of this coun-
try, which has little to worry about
on the matters of frontiers, it has
really become a practical problem in
Europe, where ballooning has become
so general and where the frontier lines
are frequent andclosely guarded. After
our European friends have solved the
fiscal features of the aerial traffic
they will probably next attempt to
formulate rules of the road and sail
ing directions to correspond with
such regulations at sea.

Danger of Excessive Trrigatoioon.


In previous issues of this journal
we have called attention to the bad
effects of excessive watering of land,
in irrigation. Besides the permanent
injury to the land by the application
of too much water, besides the dam
ageto the product of excessively wa
tered land, and the waste of water,
the land, after the crop comes off. is
always in bad shape for the next crop,
breaking up cloddy, invariably. Start
ing the water wasting" system, it
must be kept up, as on failing to cul-
tivate after a wetting the ground be-
gins to bake as soon as the water is
off, requiring, of necessity, another
irrigation, to be repeated every few
days Wetting the land, nearly as
possible to the extent that good rain
vets it, and then stirring the surface
to hold the moisture in, the land is
not damaged and the crop is not hurt
in quality, to say nothing of the great
saving in water Under a system of
reasonable wetting, followed by sur
face stirring, many things, especially
trees, would not require irrigation
oftener than once a month. Discuss
| ing this matter recently with a large
owner who understands rational,
economical irrigation, he said: What
can we do? When | talk the new sys-
TEN to the water MASTERS, they do
not know what / mean" Show
them, we told him, and do not if they
catch on, bring some irrigation from
where they know how to irrigate -

Tho Lure Of Money.

James r. Keene, who won and lost
fortunes and who played with millions
of dollars as a child would play with
a heap Of sand, was once asked why,
having wealth to safety, he did not
give up the game Of money grabbing
and seek peace, comfort and content
ment. 49, -.
The answer vouchsafed by Keene
may be regarded as that which would
be offered by many another man If the
same question were put to him.
"Why do l want more money! said
Keene. "Why does dog want an
other rabbit? Your dog will chase the
millionth rabbit as though it were the
first he had ever seen. He will strive
and strain in the pursuit Of it to the
point Of heartbreak. One might sup
pose his sous lie depended on the
capture. And yet, should he, overtake
it, he will cast 1t aside when killed
and begin quartering the ground to
start another. TO the last gasp Of his
breath that dog will chase his rabbit.
When you tell me why that dog wants
another rabbit TIL tell you why I
want more money - Harry Furniss in
