ANOTHER LITTLE BOY BLUE.

A poor little baseball. all battered and fraysd.
Now lays in a stowaway place.
And a glove that the little chap proudly displayed
Is covered with dust-woFen lace.
Time was when the ball and the dear little Qlors
Had a playmate both loyal and true
But that was before the grim umpire above
Said "outP' 20 our little Boy Blue.
The little red bat which he sturdily swung
In the battles that daily were fought

With the crack Of q hit never caught
And the ball, bat, ard glove, still they faithfully
For the comrade they long ago knew.

A Coast Defense Defect.

People who have been cherishing the
notion Of the security of the modern
fortifcations which form our seacoast
defense viii be surprised to learn from
an authority Maj. John K. Cree. Of the
Coast Artillery Corps, that the observ-
ing stations at the coast forts are vul-
nerable 20 a degree which introduces a
menace in the system. In a paper which
that officer contributes 20 the Journal
OF the United States Artillery, published
under the supervision Of the school board
Of the Coast Artillery School at Fort Mon
roe. the disclosure Of defect is candidly
made. together with an appeal for better
protection Maj. Cree points out how a
single shell might disable the entire
system OF communication of the FIRE com
mand," and he adds: Surely there can
be but little excuse for such explosure {"
The explanation made Of this defect IS
that the system is but temporary one.

sufficient funds for the more satisfactory

perts have come to the conclusion that

WHY MEAT is so HIGH.
A Few Expressions that Don't CIar'
ify Matters at All.

10y ~
From the Providence Journal.
BY this time. summing up the varied
statements OF those in the business, II
is possible TO form remarkably clear
ideas Of why we are paying more for
meat than the residents OF most other
places The patient and lucid explana-
tons Of the retail dealers lead us to
these definite conclusions:
The prices of meat are no higher In
Providence than they are in Boston or in
any other community in this part OF
New England.
The prices Of meat are noticeably low
er in Providence than they are in Boston.
The reason why meat is higher in
Providence than in Boston and other
cities is because the people of Providence
eat more meat than anybody else.
Meat is higher in Providence because
OF the greedy farmers. The farmer gets
all the money.
The high price OF meat in Providence
is due 20 the high price Of Ice
1t is all on account OF sharp advance
in the price Of cleavers. and a deteriora-
tiOn in the quality OF steel A cleaver
does not last as long as IL used TO. Some
markets are compelled 10 get SIX new
cleavers a year. where four were an am
/ pie supply five years ago.
The weather isn't what II used to be,
and so meat is higher.
Meat is high in Providence because
| Providence people have a habit OF not
/ paying for ii.
/ The reason is the high freight rates
/ The railroads charge a higher rate from
/ Chicago to Providence than from Pas
coag TO Woonsocket.
] Meat is high because Of the gradua
/ disappearance Of the clam and the lob
] ster
Providence people pay more for mea
] than Is paid by any other people be
cause they love the marketmen and real
| lie that the latter always give them |
square deal
The price OF meat in Providence is high
er than in Boston because 1t is better
| meat.
The Providence price is no higher thar
the Boston price.
The Providence price is lower than Bos
ton
The farmer gets all the money
After these clear explanations any on
who is unable TO understand the who'll
situation must be dull of comprehension

Mrs. Besant's DOlefuI Prophecy.

Mrs. Annie Besant Is quoted as having
said recently: Everybody will be wealthy
1900 years hence"
Presumably. this was intended to be an
optimistic prediction. II We accept It as
worthy Of consideration, we are supposed
to take It simultaneously as suggestive Of
universal good times 10 come-of luxury
and high living galore. Everybody being
wealthy. nobody win want. All residences
being palaces. poorhouses will vanish.

EngIIsh Cotton Groyvers.

An English syndicate OF spinners. it IS
reported Is 20 try the experiment OF
raising their own cotton IN Texas. The
syndicate intends TO buy $4,000 acres Of
land and divide II into large plantations
with American managers This enter
prise calls 10 mind that foreigners can
not own land IN Mississippi. II Is pos
sible that this prospective English invest
ment may be. through scientific manage
ment, OF educational value 10 the neigh
boring districts But II is yet 10 be
proved that the syndicate can produce
It's raw material az a less cost than its
price IN the open market. Moreover, the
enterprise seems to be against the grow
ing policy OF smaller plantations and in
tensive cultivation. But the outcome OF
the experiment will be awaited with in
terest. both at home and abroad.

The Cost of Living.

That the cost Of living has increased
the wage-earner persists in believing He
Is confirmed in part by army statistics.
During the last fiscal year, the rations
per soldier in the United States army
cost 1855 cents per day. The same figures
were adopted for 1903. and proved too low
The cost per man for 1910 will be 2097
cents per day. and the official estimate
for the year ending June 80. 1911. which
has been agreed on, is 2LO5 cents. Are
the soldiers OF the army being pampered
with luxuries Of living? The figures sug-
gest a new problem for the mathematical
Investigators Of the problem of self-main-
tenance. If It costs Uncle Sam 2l.05 cents
a day TO feed each soldier. how can a
man feed. clothe, house. and educate a
family Of four or five children or so or
SO week?
