ANOTHER CONUNDRUM.

Saloon Keeper Must Do Some Guess
ing as Well as the President.
With the puzzle of what is whisky
still unsOlved Delaware saloon men
must confront the further problem of
what is a drunkard. The legislature
of that state has forbidden them to
sell to drunkards. 1t is agreed that
enough whisky will usually make a
drunkard, but if the president has
not found a satisfactory answer to
the first question it is enough to con-
fuse the lowly barkeeper, who must
grapple with a double conundrum.

CHAMPION cow is DEAD.
Pedro's EsteIla Produced 712 Pounds
of Butter in One Year.

Oh buIlef III One ear.
Pedro's Estella, the champion but
ter Jersey COW of the world, is dead.
She was owned by the Missouri Ag-
ricultural College.
In twelve months she produced
TIP pounds of butter, fully 100
pounds more than her nearest COM
petitor. Pedro's Estella was in good
health, but stumbled into a ditch
and was unable to get out. When
aid reached her she was too far gone
to recover.
The experimenters at the state
farm made some interesting calcula-
tions as to what Pedro's Estella was
able to do. She produced enough
milk and butter to supply seven aver
age families of five people each.
That is, she would have furnished
butter, skim milk, cream and butter
milk for them for a year.
If the milk had been sold at 7
cents a quart, the average price of
milk at the University of Missouri,
the COW would have brought it's own
er $41475. 1t cost only SIS to feed
it during the year. The university
statistician figured that the income
from Pedro's Estella for one year
would have kept an average student
in the University of Missouri for a
like term.

EXCHANGES OF NEW YORK
THE VALUE OF SEATS FLUCTU-
ATES WITH THE PATRON
AGE OF GAMBLERS.

There are 1 100 members on the
New York Stock Exchange. The
value of the seats has fluctuated with
much irregularity, but alawys in eX-
act proportion to the patronage of
the speculative public. The price
now stands at about $4,000, says
Frederick Uphorn Adams in the May
Everybody's.
This conservative price of $4,000
for the privilege of receiving COM
missions from outsiders indicates
that the collective value of the eleven
hundred memberships on the New
York Stock Exchange is $8S,000,-
600. In 1906 it reached the tidy
sum of $1O4,500,000, but $88,000,-
600 will serve for the purposes of
this inquiry.
On the New York Consolidated
Exchange there are 1,225 members.
In 1906 tickets of membership had
a value of $4,000. The present de-
pleted condition of the pockets of the
speculative public has seriously i'm
paired the price of these franchises,
but it is just to say that under nor
nal conditions they are in demand
at $4,000. This yields an item of
$2,450,000.
The New York Cotton Exchange
numbers $50 members. In recent
years these privileges have ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000, and it is
just to place each of them at $751;
600, making a total for the collective
franchise of $S,100,00O. Bear in
mind that all such prices are estab-
lished by the comparative zeal of the
public to make money by gambling
in cotton. Forbid such risks and
these membership tickets would not
be worth 500 each.
The New York Coffee Exchange
has the modest number of 1928 mem
bers. In recent years the value of
seats has ranged from $500 to $4,-
800, and we will take $500 as the
normal figure. This constitutes an
item of $1,130,500.
The New York Produce Exchange
has at present 2,26O members, and
seats have recently commanded
1925; but under normal conditions
twice this price can readily be OBJ
tanned. 1t is fair to place an esti-
mate of $2,000,000 on the member
ship franchise of this great exchange.
This interesting study is worthy of
a recapitulation, which thus indicates
the conservative value of the mem
/ bership tickets on the leading eX-

coming from such a source, the Blade is proud to ac

Of course and as any intelligent woman would
expect this Catholic organ takes issue with the Blade ON
the subject and undertakes place its personal conruc
ton upon the passage quoted from the New Testament
and denies the soft impeachment that the alleged wife of
the Jewish carpenter had any other children by her lawful
spouse In order to feed the myth and keep in sound
health the goose that lays the golden the Union and

fraud for the benefit of the faithful Among other things
it says:
"Test our friend might deem himself original would
say that as early the fourth century St. Jerome defended
the virgin against the calumny penned by Hevetus
and showed concusivey in this tract to which we refer
our modern scholar that the broher of Lord were
not children of Mary by her husband St. Josephs
children by another marriage, but cousins OF our
Lord-chdren of Mary the blessed virgins sister, by her
husband Alpheus."
For the benefit and the information of would-be

hundred years after the event supposed to have occurred
Nor is Heveus the only among the early writers who

it for granted this of Catholicism has heard

they are induced this opinion by passages in that

the same subject was topic of serious discussion among
the early fathers of the church, ncning to belief
on either sde lacking the necessary actual and positive
evidence to prove either claim In any event it certain
