AUSTRALIA THE TEA TOPPER
That Ountry Drinks More of IL Per
Capita Than Any other In
the World.

Black tea is gradually taking the place
of the green leaf beverage, according to
Henry o. Wootten Of London, England. a
prominent tea merchant, stopping at the
Loyal, on his first visit to Omaha.
Mr.. Wootten is director and export man
ager Of Ridgways, Ltd. tea merchants OF
London, and during the last six years has
made frequent trips TO this country.
Mr.. Wootten vouched the information that
Australia leads the world In the amount OF
consumed per capita, with eight and one-
half pounds. Canada is second with seven
and one-half, while England, which claims
the distinction Of being the great tea drink
ing country in the world, excepting, Of
course. China, has a ratio OF seven pounds
per capita. Here in America It is but one
and a half pounds, but the ratio is slowly
increasing. England consumes 200. 600, 900
pounds per annum, Canada IS, 10000, Aus
tralia is.OOO,O 900 and the United States about
l2.OOo.OOO pounds. The Chinese drink more
tea than the rest Of the world together, the
annual consumption by the Orientals being
estimated at 5000. 0OO,O 900 pounds.

JUDGE WAKELEY'S TRIBUTE
TO MRS. JOSEPH BARKER
Woman Of Marked individuality and
wrought Much Good for
other People.

Judge e. wakeley. one Of the pioneer citi-
zens of Omaha and Nebraska, pays this
tribute to the memory and deeds of Mrs.
Joseph Barker, who died Sunday and was
buried Monday:
The death of Mrs. Joseph Barker, after
a lingering illness, has removed from us a
member Of one Of the pioneer families who
came to Omaha In it's early uncertain years
to abide It's fortunes and its future to the
end.
She was a daughter of Colonel John Pat
rick Of Uniontown, Pa, whose three sons
and two daughters came from there In
1876, locating in the young city and estab-
lishing a commodious and substantial fam
lily home at Seventeenth and Davenport
streets. The father afterward Joined them
and was a resident of Omaha until his
death. The sons, J. N. H., M. T. and A.
$. Patrick-the only survivors Of the family
identified themselves permanently and sue
cessfully with the business life and inter
ests Of Nebraska and the new west.
Eliza B., the elder sister. married Joseph
Barker, also Of a pioneer family. and who
continued to take an active and influen-
tial part in the business enterprises of
Omaha until his death, a few years since.
Mrs. Barker was a woman OF marked in
dividuality, OF keen perception, wit, adapta-
bility, cheertulness and generosity OF ma
ture. During her residence here of a half
century she was noted In domestic life for
her strong family attachments and unre-
served devotion TO family duties, and in
social life for her cordial friendships, her
kindly amenities and the gracious, informal
hospitality which helps TO make social in
t~ercourse delightful. These secured to her
the large circle of loving friends, repre-
scented by those who followed her TO the
last and left her beside her husband at
Forest Lawn.
Her charities, quiet and constant. were
bestowed, not to be seen or for display, bu;
from the impulses which prompt to kind
deeds. She was long a loyal and faithful
member OF the Protestant Episcopal church,
in the faith of which and as a communicate
Of 81. Matthias church she died. 1t may
be well said Of her-and there need be no
higher p~raise-that in a long life and by her
example as a member OF the community,
as a daughter, a sister, a wife and a Chris
tian mother, she illustrated the best type
of American w~omanhOod.

PROBLEMS DUE TO NEGLECT
Prof. c. r.. Kent Asserts Civic, POliti-
cal and Social Questions Are
Caused by Ignoring Heart.

IN our haste to develop the head and
hand we have neglected the heart said
Prof. Charles r. Kent of the chair Of his
tory and old testament literature at Yale
university, in the course or n message ex-
tended to the people OF Omaha. DR.. Kent
came here to deliver two lectures at the
Young Women's Christian association
building and took occasion prior to his lee
ture to express a few sentiments with ref
erence to neglected idealism OF education.
Education said Prof. Kent, lis a unit
that when one-slded or incomplete results
disastrously in many cases. Our chief po-
~lilical, civic and social problems In America
are uaceable to neglect. The most sig
~niflcant movement In the church and edu-
c~ational world today is the rapidly growing
recognition that the all-around idea OF the
individual is the only sure way OF solving
our greatest problem.
Some seventeen years ago Prof. Kent
first visited Omaha and he expressed him
self as agreeably surprised at the advance
ment made. His visit here at this time. he
said, likened him to RIP Van Wrinkle after
his long sleep In the Catskill mountains.
While in Omaha Prof. Kent is the guest
OF Rev. l.. o. Baird, pastor or St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church.
