NEW WATERMELON
INVENTED BY UNCLE SAM

Washington, June 1S.-Individual
watermelons about the size of can
taloupe, of delicious flavor, in color
yellow and red, which can be grown
in any section of this country. have
been introduced through the agricul-
tural department by Horace G..
Knowles, former American minister
to Roumania, who discovered them
in the foothills of the Carpathian
mountains in Roumania. For use in
hotels, restaurants, clubs and else
where the new favorite will fill a
long felt want. Extensive expert
ments have been made by the de-
partment through its numerous sta
tions, which prove that climatic con-
ditions, soil, etc, in practically all
parts of this country are adapted to
the growth of the melon.
This season a large quantity are
being raised by the government for
the purpose of seed propagation and
for introduction to the public.
1t is proposed to name the new
melon Princess Marie, in honor of
the crown princess of Roumania,
whose guest Mr.. Knowles was when
he discovered the melons.

A JOKE ON THE
LATE ii. I'll. ROGERS

One of the characteristics of H. h.
Rogers was his love of a joke, even
at his own expense. The humor lost
nothing by that in Mr.. Rogers opin-
ion. This was one of his favorite
stories:
He, william C. Whitney and sew
eral other friends were discussing the
succession to the presidency of Yale,
then vacant before the election Of
President Hadley, who then held the
chair of economics. Another profess
sor longer at the university than DR..
Hadley was a candidate, and his
chances of winning the honor were
under discussion.
"Well," said Mr.. Rogers, "if I had
been as long around Yale college as
Professor So-and-So, I'd be presi-
dent"
mo. Henry" retorted Mr.. Whitney,
"you would probably own the ground
and the buildings, but you would not
be president"
Mr.. Rogers always told that story
with a chuckle.
"You can print that some time" he
said to the Times reporter to whom
he told it some months before his
death.-New York Times.

THINK ASYLUM PATIENT
WAS KILLED VIOLENTLY

Los Angeles.-Details Of the al
legged violent death of another insane
patient at the state insane asylum at
Patton, similar to that Of Henry
Grassmere, are related in a story
published this morning, reciting the
case of Edward L. Parsons of this
city, who died at the institution on
March 16 last. According to this re-
port Parsons was terribly beaten on
different occasions, and finally was
injured so badly that the result
proved fatal. Mrs. Parsons says her
husband was beaten to death. In the
certificate issued by the asylum au-
thorities, according to the report,
general paresis and acute dilation
of the heart" are given as the cause
of death. When she went to the asy-
lum to claim the body of her hus-
band Mrs. Parsons says she found he
had three ribs broken. DR.. Wilson,
acting medical superintendent at
Patten, is quoted as saying last night
that Parsons was beaten to death by
another patient named Phosole.
Proceedings on the part of the dis
trict attorney of San Bernardino
county against Attendant Berg. held
in Jail at San Bernardino in connec-
tion with the killing of Grassmere,
are anticipated later.

ANOTHER MAN TURNS DOWN
CHINESE MINISTERSHIP

Chicago.--It was because he did
not want ito drop the plow in the
middle of the furrow" that Frederic
A. Delano, president of the Wabash
railroad and the man sought by
President Taft for one of the most
important OF the country's diplomatic
assignments, declined to become
minister to China.
"T know what can do in my pres
ent line, but I do not know what
might be able to do in public life"
said Mr.. Delano. II entered railroad
ing as a profession. / have had no
schooling in diplomacy. To fail to
heed my countrys call was no easy
thing to do, but I believe l am serv-
ing my country in some small way
where I am, and in what l am trying
to do for the development Of rail-
roads at home.
'I have a family of four daughters,
and to take them from school and at
tempt their education in Pekin,
where advantages are missing,
think would hardly be fair to them.
These things do not seem to me small
objections. even had 1 no ambitions
OF my own.
"I entered railroading as a profess
sion, and l do not consider that l
have accomplished all that / set out
to do. do not think It wise plan
to drop the plow in the middle Of the
furrow, and so. not without a hard
struggle, l chose not to enter the ca
reer that an assignment to represent
the United States in Pekin would
have impelled me toward"

AN ARMY OF CLOWNS
WILL BE HERE SOON

The Great Sells-Floto Shows Con-
solidated present along with their
comedy department this year numer-
Gus prominent testers, commonly
called Clowns" Lon Moore is the
principal jester, and associated with
him are 40 kings of the clown 'ng
world. Along with these funny chaps
others also assist with comical antics.
When intermingling with citizens
on the street none of them would be
suspected of wearing the loose robes
of a fool but when they are in the
ring with their makeups on they
laugh and the crowd laughs with
them. A jolly lot, and they have GER
tainly helped to unload, at least tenn
porarily, the cares from the minds OF
thousands of people.
Glowing is an art of itself; the
best clowns are born, not made. The
fun-making department of the great
Sells-Floto show is fully up to the
high standard of its other depart
ments-in fact, many a person will
testify to the statement that the
statement that the clowns with this
show are worth the price of admis-

the present strenuous life of most
people causes them to relish a little
pure nonsense now and then.

positively new, refreshing and up to
date, The big show will exhibit ir

ENCOURAGING IS THE
 OUTLOOK FOR MINES
(Jerome News.)

The mining situation in Arizona is more encouraging at the present time than ever before. From every section of this vast. domain come reports of almost fabulous finds of both gold and copper. Especially is this true of the brown metal. Mining men have but recently discovered that with deep mining success is assured, and accordingly are producers being un- covered almost daily. The Jerome district is no exception, except per haps in the fact that there is un- usual activity throughout the hills and in the near vicinity of this city. Exploitation goes steadily forward and each days labor reveals unmis- takable evidences that the goal is being reached. These facts imbue others with an abiding faith in this prospect and systematic development

Faustino Rivera and Mariana Or tega were each sentenced yesterday morning by Judge Doe to spend twelve years in the territorial peni- tentiary. Both had pleaded guilty to the indictments which respectively charged assault to murder and crim- inal assault. Rivert shot Wiley Wood ruff at a dance at Poland and fled to the hills but was captured later by Sheriff Smith near Octave.
 Carmen Gonzales stabbed a fellow eountryman but was captured several days later at Needles. Before being sentenced he stated to the court through an interpreter that he did not do the cutting with malice afore- thought.
 Juan Gonzales, who was given eighteen months, after pleading guilty to burglary, explained that he had to return the stove which he took out of a cabin near Poland.
 J. H. Hieklin, who also confessed to burglary in the second degree, was given a sentence of eighteen months.
 All five prisoners will be taken to Florence.
 After being confined for sixteen hours and unable to reach a verdict, the jury in the case of Kim Sam, a Chinese accused of arson, was dis charged. The case was then placed at the foot of the calendar.
