PAPA IN HIS BOYHOOD DAYS
Not the Paragon Of Virtue He Would
Like Sons to Be.

There is a dear old lady in uptown
home who doesn't take much stock in
new-fangled surgery. More especial.
ly she sniffs at the theory that way.
ward boys can be cured of their bad
inclinations by having their brains
nicked with a knife.
The other day her grandson came
to her.
Grandma" he said, was papa a
pretty naughty boy when he was as
old as we?"
I'm sorry to say he was, George.
He headed all the michief for miles
around"
Now, mother" demonstrated
Georges father. 1T wasn't quite as
bad as that"
You know It was, James," retorted
the old lady. "And / won't have you
holding yourself up as a model for
your boys"
Say, grandma George interrupt.
ed, do you think 1t would have done
papa any good II the doctor had cut
Into his head like mamma was read
ing about?"
The old lady laughed.
I'm the first place, they couldn't
have caught him." she said. "And in
the next place they would have had to
cut on his head to do him any good. /"

SENATE ALMOST
 CLEANS UP WORK

Especial from United Press.)
 Hartford, Aug. 18-The Senate today practically cleaned up all of it's busi- ness. excepting three matters at the fDot of the calendar and someEeodds and ends that have been tabled.
 It was voted to make all matters on the calendar and tabled the order of the day tomorrow at II a. m., and it is expected that the Senate will com plete it's work at this time, providing the House does not take disagreefng action on the measures which will leave the Senate tomorrow.
 The act concerning the collection and assessment of a personal tax was passed by the Senate after the bill had been amended by Senator Man waring so as to remove conflict of authority between registrars and col lectors of the tax. Favorable action was taken upon an act amending Sec tion 2,65s of the statutes concerning appeals and the granting of liquor li- censes, also an act concerning restrict ing the manufacture and treatrnent of oil and garbage in Waterford and East Lyme.
 The Senate concurred with the House in amending the bill providing for the creation of special commission to in vestigate the taxation of oyster beds by receding from it's former action and voting to give the power to investi- gate to the board of equalization. The bill carries an appropriation of s. 000.

 IN WORLD Total Valuation of Farm Products for Crop Year 1908 Was $7,77s, 100000 FARMERS PRODUCE
 TANGIBLE WEALTH Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in Annual Report, Says It's Greatest Ever This Result of Soil Enough to Pay for Panama Canal
 and 50 Battleships
Special from United Press.)

Washington, Aug.I 1S.-It used to be
 "lo the poor Now it's "oh the plu-
 tocratic agriculturalist.'' Billions up-
 on billions the farmer has again piled
 up his wheat" says Secretary of Agri-
 culture Wilson in his annual report
 made public today In the crop year of 1908, the total valuation of farm products was s7,7S0, 000. 900. the biggest in the worlds history as the secre- tary suggests.
 While these figures contain some duplication Wilson said, Ion the foth- CT hand they do not contain some inn portant items of wealth production and the fact remains that totals to billions of dollars worth of wealth have been produced by the farmers this year for national sustenance and for export to the craving millions of
 'tIt is a real tangible wealth as it exists at the time it leaves the hand of the producer. It Is about four times the value Of the products of the mines, including mineral oils and precious metals.
 During the last ten years the pro- duction of the farms of the country has exceeded the fabulous amount of fifty billion dollars Greatest of all crops is Indian corn. the priceless gift of the Indian The value of this crop almost surpasses belief. It is s1, ,61 5, ,OO0, ,00O This wealth that has grown out of the soil in four months of Tain and sunshine, with some. . drought, too, is enough to pay for the Panama Canal and fifty batleships.
 .tFor the first time in the history of the country's agriculture, the value of the cotton crop, including the, seed, has apparently exceeded the value of any crop, sS21 100000, which has here tofore held second place for a long series of years.
 wheat is 15 per cent above the 5 year average in production and 23.3 per cent above that average in total value. The value was $620, GOO, 900 which was never approached nearer than $66, ,000, 900.
 .'The value of the farm products of the dairy COW are getting closer and closer to $100. .00o. 900 and the eggs and poultry products worth as much as the cotton crop seed included, or the hay crop or the wEeat crop. To the farmer who has averaged hardly 20 cents a pound for the butter he has sold at and cents a quart for his milk and about 11s cents for each egg and even to the consumer who has paid much above these, the values are

 Window
BAIL FIXED AT s7Oo

Having declared his undying love for "Maudie'' Johnson, George Waite, a very black man, prepared last night to meet the hostility which her father has shown by making his call equipped with a seven shooter. Last Sunday White, who is employed as a chauf- feur for Lyon & Grumman, told Mir. Johnson that he was in love with his daughter, and that if MT. Johnson would consent to the marriage he would get a divorce from his present wife some time this week. The father told the suitor in forceful language that a, man 30 years of age should not be paying Attentions to a IT year old school girl, and that he had never away from him
 Last evening White called on Miss ''Maudie, at her home, 61 Elm street, and while sitting in the dining room awaiting the young lady, her father entered the room and told White to leave the house. The latter then drew a revolver and told MT. Johnson that the was going to kill him Before he could fire the pistol his arm was seiz- ed by Johnson and that movement di- rected the bullet into the floor.
 The sound of the shot so frightened the girl that she ran to the bath room and jumped out of the window to the sidewalk 12 feet below. White mean time was making his way to police up. In the city court today he was charged with assault with intent to kill. At the request of Attorney John c. Chamberlain. who represented him, the case went over until tomorrow un- der s7O0 bonds.

SHOT IN RIOT
 OF STRIKERS TODAY
fsnecial fron United Press.l ]

(SD6Clal OnlleQ EItSS-J
 Pittsburg, Aug. 1S.-One man was shot early to-day in a riot of strikers of the Pressed Steel Car Works when they attacked a workman whom they suspected of being a strike breaker. Early in the day great crowds of strikers began to meet on the street corners in Schoenville. Workmen who were suspected of being strike-break- CTS were stoned and roughly handled. Finally a crowd of 50 attacked a man whom they claimed to be strike breaker. He retaliated by drawing a revolver and firing. Barney Waters, q bystander. was shot but not seriously injured. The constabulary charged the strikers and dispersed them.
 'AttorneyS for the company appeared before Judge Lane this morning and filed their answer to the petition of the strikers asking the company to appear in court to show cause why an arbitration should not be appointed Among other things the company claims that the act, whereby power is granted the court to appoint a board of arbitration is now unconstitutional and void. The arguments will be heard Friday.
 The strikers had hoped that the mat ter of arbitration would be settled to- day as each day the strike drags on brings more families to a point of facing hunger and want.
