How private" John Allen Proved HE
capability For Business.
: The wonderful advance in the price
of town lots and farms in the new
state of Oklahoma recalls tie fact that
when Oklahoma was first organized as
territory the boomers arranged spe-
cial train and invited a number of
congressman to make trip down
there. Some of the development COM
panies made it point to sell town
lots at nominal rates to the visiting
statesmen. Among those who became
purchasers some fifteen years ago was
the famous Private John Allen of
Mississippi Allen was never credited
with being anything Of business man
in those days. He has a millionaire
brother In st. Louis nicknamed Ugly
Jim" The latter used to try hard to
make a financier out of John and Of
fered him at one time tempting sal
airy to t.uit congress and attend to his
law business. But about then Private"
Allen was not fond of work His
funny speeches kept him in congress
for sixteen years, and he used to say
that he could worry through the year
on congressmans salary because 1t
was SO powerful regularv' Every now
and then Private John would need
extra money. and he would borrow
from ugly Jim" The millionaire ad-
vanced more than he thought John
should owe him or any other man. so
he pressed the witty congressman for
a settlement. He told him that while
he could afford to wipe the account Off
the slate, he did not propose to do so
and John must pay. 1t was for his
own interest. He would never become
business man unless he met his OBJ
legations more promptly.
John thought Of a scheme by which
he would prove to ugly Jim" that he
was more Of business man than he
imagined. He wrote to numerous peo-
pie to make him fancy offers for his
folks down in the territory advise him
that he should not think Of selling for
any such ridiculously low figures.
Hold for six months longer" they
said, land you will get 80 per cent
more" All this information John sent
to ugly Jim" He frankly Informed
him that the best he could do was to
take him in with him on the Oklahoma
deals Ugly Jim" was convinced. and
funny John unloaded on the million.

and Ugly Jim had to reluctantly ad

The Weather In Africa.

Everybody seems to think Of Africa
as a place Of torrid heat, with no re-
lief anywhere. But that is far from
the truth. says Chicago News. AS a
matter Of fact, some parts Of that
country are as temperate as our own.
and other parts-where the ground
reaches a great elevation-are cold.
Our impression Of the climate of the
country is based on what we have
heard Of the heat of its lowlands. A
priest who lived on the Pacific coast
there for eight years says that he new
er saw the mercury higher than So de
grees, and at Stanley Falls. where he
now lives, the highest that 1t ever
reaches Is 80 degrees. with nights that
are nearly always cool. But when II
comes to storms. he says, Africa beats
anything that European ever dream
ed of. He asserts that he once count
ed sixty-six lightning strokes In one
minute and says also that he has
known ten thunderbolts to strike with
In a radius of a few hundred yards ir
the space of two hours.

A Hardy Hickory.

G. G. Bates of the United States for
est service has found In western Ar
kansas a species of hickory, locally
known as "bull." or alligator" hick-
DRY, which exhibits remarkable resist
ance to the effects of drought as we'll

skinned leaves are assigned as a prin-
cipal cause of Its drought defying pow
ers. Like other hickories. 1t also sends
down into the soil a long, strong tap
root. Mr.. Bates suggests that this tree
would be useful for planting In prairie
states and in dry situations In other
localities. Where fires frequently oc-

Big Alaska.

Big Alaska
Few persons perhaps have a clear
Nea Of the vast extent of Alaska, our
semipolar territory. One Of the men,
bers Of the geological survey party
sent there by the government several
years ago devised q unique and I'm
pressive way Of giving this informa-
ton. He prepared map In which
Alaska was represented as lying on
the United States. with Its northern
edge on Lake Superior and along the
border between Minnesota and Canada.
In this position Alaska covered. In
whole or in part, twenty-three states
and territories. As a matter OF fact,
its area IL about one-fifth Of that Of
the United States proper. Many chill
dren know perhaps that the highest
peak on this continent. Mount Nc
Kinley, Is in Alaska. 1t is part OF the
Alaskan range, and the survey party
found its height to be a little more
than 10000 feet-Chicago News.

The Carrier Pigeon.


Did you ever hear of pigeon carry
ing messages over long distances? The
service this little creature can tender
b beyond belief. Long before the tele-
graph was even dreamed Of the car
rier pigeon was trained to bear mes
sages to immense distances. and In
times OF war it carried communica-
ton from the besieged city to the out
er world. The carrier pigeon post has
been cultivated mostly by the Dutch.
The process Of training these little
creatures consists in taking them q
short distance from home. to which
they find their way back very easily
This distance Is gradually increased
until they are brought az far as It Ia
desired they should fy. The letter
containing the message Is lied around
the stem Of the middle feather OF the
tail. Here 1t neither binders the pi
eeon's fight nor will 1t fall OF, but
when It is flying the other feathers
generally cover the letter and protect
It from rain.
