KANSAS HOLDS RECORD.
Apple Pie Five Feet in Diameter Made
at AIuIvane.

washington, March 1S.-The pies
consumed in one year would cover an
area of 20 square miles.
If placed in a line they would ex-
tend entirely around the world twice
and there would still be enough left
over to go from New York to San
Francisco and back.
They would extend in straight line
one-quarter of the distance from the
earth to the moon.
Pie is the national dish of America
today. 1t has had a direct bearing on
politics. Why not make 1t the Amer
lean emblem instead of the eagle.
New York consumes 100000 factory
made pies every day. On this basis 1t
is estimated that over a million pies
are consumed daily in the United
States, or 365, 100000 pies year. The
ordinary pie occupies a little less than
O square foot and if the pies consum-
ed in one year could be assembled in
one district they would cover over 20
square miles. If stretched out into
straight line it would be 57,60S miles
long.
No country in the world consumes
as many pies as does Uncle Sam
Charles Dickens once wrote, after he
had returned to England from visit
in America, that he would like to build
a city and adorn its grand square with
a monument to the immortal founder
of the pie.

Washington, March 13-Assign-
ment OF diplomats succeeds the choice
of a cabinet is the prevailing prob
lem in the White House.
The new secretary of state firmly
believes in Elihu Roots programme
of elevation of diplomats on the
merit system. So does the new presi-
dent. Therefore that Taft and his
secretary of state both work in har-
mony along this line, it is doubtful
whether many new faces appear in
diplomatic circles in the coming ad-
ministration. There are several dip
lomatic changes which can already be
announced with considerable assur-
ance.
Thomas ]. O'Brien of Grand
Rapids. Mich, first ambassador to
Japan, is slated to leave his present
post at Toxic and assume the first
ambassadorship to the empire of
China Mr.. O'Brien has more than
made good in Japan under most try
ing circumstances, and his removal to
China will be strictly in the nature of
promotion earned by merit. Presi-
dent Taft visited Ambassador O'Brien
at the Toxic legation and the two are
firm friends. 1t is doubtful whether
any member of the diplomatic corp
will stand higher under the new ad-
ministration than the gentleman from
Grand Rapids, Mich.
Oscar Straus, who left the portfolio
of commerce and labor in President
Roosevelt's cabinet on March 4, and
who has previously served as ambas-
sador to Turkey under President
Cleveland, will undoubtedly succeed
Mr.. O'Brien in the embassy of Japan
1t is known that President Taft is
anxious to retain the services of this
eminent New York merchant under
his new administration.
The next more important post in
which a change is probable is in the
legation at Rome. AMBASSADOR Lloyd
Griscom will probably voluntarily re-
tire, although his retirement will be a

MARKET IS QUIET.
Not Much Activity Until After Tariff
Legislation.

New York. March 13-The stock
market has sunk into stagnation in
expectation of the halt in business
revival looked for until the tariff
changes are decided. Happenings,
even with an important bearing on
property interests fail to arouse the
market from its lethargy. The dis
misSa1 of the Standard Oil suit and
the United States district court in
junction against the Missouri railroad
rate law caused hardly a ripple in the
market. Further cuts in prices of
steel products and in wages of en-
ployers were taken to indicate con-
tinuance of readjustment in that
trade. This large increase in surplus
stocks of refined copper in February
showed similar conditions in the
copper industry. Gold exports to Lon
don are ignored in view of the case
and abundance of the money market.

LOSING HER FUR TRADE.
Canada's Output Is Being Cut Down
by Destruction of Forests.

washington, March 13.-Canada's
fur trade is the greatest of any coun-
try in the world, but this source of
millions in wealth each year is likely
to be seriously curtailed unless some
preventive is found for the increasing
wanton destruction of the forests and
the fur bearing animals protected
therein, according to Consul Van SAINT
of Kingston, in report to the bureau
of manufactures.
If the Canadian forests are properly
protected, it is claimed, they will be
more prolific in fur bearing animals.
The indiscriminate slaughter of ami
mails has greatly decreased the supply
of fur skins. AT some points the ex-
ports have been cut down SO per cent.

Governor Hoch of Kansas once de-
clared that pumpkin pies had cost the
Republican party thousands OF votes
for the women of the pOpulist faith IN
his state had been in the habit of serV-
ing pumpkin pie at all the great poll
teal gatherings.
The New England states are the pie
belt of the country, for here they eat
the national dish for breakfast every
day. Providence, r. l., holds the rec
ord of being the greatest pie center In
the universe.
The largest pie on record was made
IN Mulvane, Kan. On the occasion OF
a certain celebration an apple pie hVe
feet in diameter was made.
One of the most interesting sights IN
the national capitol as viewed by the
visitor is the congressional restaurant
In this restaurant pies are one of the
dominant factors. Many congress-
man when he is forced to return to his
native state longs for the congress1on-
al pies In 1905 the cook who made
the pies for the congressional restaur-
ant got another job in Baltimore HIS
wares had made him famous. After
he had gone the proprietor, instead of
filling his place, laid in a stock of fac
tory pies. The legislators discussed the
matter calmly with the proprietor at
first, but when dyspepsia began to get
in its fiendish work and debates began
to be tinged with bitterness and spite
full attacks it was clear something had
to be done.
At last the members of the senate
went on a strike in a body. They
served notice to the restaurant pro-
prietor that until the old cook was re-
instated not a mouthful of pie would
they eat-and they kept their word.
For a. whole week the members went
pieless; then the restaurant man sur
rendered and brought the cook back.
Men have gone crazy for lack of
pies and on account of pies. Thefts
have been committed to pacify this
passion for pie. Altogether the Amer
lean pie is one of the dominant factors
in American life.

An Electric Carriage That Realizes Your Fondest Dreams

1t is so efficient that it never

TAX CLAIM OF ONE CENT
Settled in New York and Three Cents
Interest Paid.

New York, March 13.-Among the
odd tax accounts which have just been
settled with the city was claim for
one cent with three cents interest, due

a claim for fourteen cents in arrears

THE WAVERLEY HAS
CAPTIYATED Topeka

Topeka is falling under the spell
of this delightful carriage just as
every other great city has done
and the conditions in Topeka are
ideal for its fullest enjoyment.
The exhibition of the new Wav-
erley models is now in progress.
James NJ. Padgett is ready to
show you that the Waverley
electric is the carriage you have al
ways hoped for.
In your own mind you've doubt
less decided hundred times that
the electric carriage was the ideal
motor driven vehicle-clean, sim
pie, smooth of operation, and al
ways ready for service.
But you've added a vague men
tai promise to the effect that you
would wait "until the battery was
perfected"
Meanwhile the Waverley plant at
Indianapolis-the oldest in point
of experience and the largest in
the world-had produced precisely
the carriage you have been expect
ing and hoping for. Hundreds of
these cars have been in commits
sion all over the country while you
were dreaming your dream of per-
lection.

Mr. R. D. Cuninghame. Mr.. Roosevelts hunter,
is typical of the African sportsman and is declared
to know about game in this section OF the
world than any other game expert.
No unique sight was ever presented TO
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when l alighted from a Uganda railway coach at
Kapiti Plains. where Mr.. Roosevelt and his army
were grouped. The station is on Sir Alfred Peases
ranch or estate, it is known here.
''The Plains consists of hardly than the
signboard which tells its name. Mr.. Roosevelfs
army" was drawn up about him, the ex-president
was conversng with Hunter Cuninghame and the
former executives gunbearer, Abdallah bin Said
was awaiting orders from his chief. OF the army
Abdallah is most devoted to his master and the
frequent lashings which the heads of the exped
ton are often compelled to administer to quell
impending mutiny are never necessary with this
character He is a unique type of African and be-
cause of his good qualities he commands better
pay than the of his fellows.
The who aided Mr.. Roosevelt in getting
his expedition ready cautioned him against asking
any of his servants to do duties for which any of
the others were hired.
The labor union instinct is second nature with
the attache of the African hunting expedition. Let
a gun bearer try to do the work of porter or
bush beater and there is war in camp at once
Neither may the game carriers beat the game into
sight Perhaps this system is for the best after
all for the reason that every man specializes and
therefore is able to do his own allotted work to
better advantage.
1t is said here that Mr. Roosevelts entire expe-
dition will cost between $4,000 and 100000. which
to an American hunter may seem an enormous
price But hunting wild game in Africa is heavy
undertaking and in order to go through with such
a task that amount Of money is actually neces-
sary. But the party is getting results and that is
what they figure is the proper viewpoint
Having arrived in the Stoik district Kermit and
his father plenty of game upon which to exhibit
their prowess. The younger Roosevelt Immediately
set about establishing hunting record by bagging

To Kermit Roosevelt the expedition has been
a source of wonderment and pleasure. Every
thing was new to him. He had read about the
mysteriousness of darkest Africa but had never
been given opportunity to even peer into the
confines of real lion hunting camp
At the present writing both Kermit and his
father in the best of health, both wearing a
swarthy tan which is darker than the jungle
stained khaki suits in which most of the hunting
is done.
short time ago Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American mission near here ard he expressed
pleasure at the work which the organization is
doing for the African savage. The morning of
the day he visited the mission he spent in hunt
ing Culubra monkeys and succeeded in shooting
several, which added to the list of speci-
mems.
Officials here have expressed the belief that
Mr. Roosevelts bagging of game is justifabe in
view of the fact that his specimens are being
secured for the purpose of stocking up the
Smithsonian institution at Washington.
