GINSENG CROP is BLIGHTED
Government EntomoIogIsts Interested
In Discovering Cause Of In

Columbus, Ind.-Lon Cox and Roy

probably the largest growers of gin
seng in the state, with their ginseng
holdings in Brown county, have in
terested the government entomolo-
gists in their ginseng, which is being
badly damaged, If not wholly de-
stroyed, by blight
A short time ago they sent some of
their blighted plants to the govern
ment department, and this week they
received a letter. in which the ento-
mologists expressed deep interest in
the matter and asked that they send
him other samples of their blighted
plants. He further stated that he, be-
lieved he would be able to name the
blight that Is destroying their gin
seng, and to suggest successful meth
DDS of combating 1t.
The blight has killed the plant and
the roots have quit growing, for the
present at least.

EDUCATED SOLDIER THE BEST
De Wet, Famous Boer Leader, Ranges
Himself in Opposition to Igno.
rant Fighter.

In Europe it is generally held that
men from the rural parts of the coun-
try make the best soldiers and that
the townsmen, who are better educat-
ed but have also a clearer perception
of the dangers and discomforts of war,
are much more ready to throw up
the sponge when in their opinion
there is no use in continuing the fight.
The famous Boer guerrilla leader,
Christian de Wet, thinks differently
and in speech he made to some
South African students the other day
he gave very striking evidence in
favor of the educated soldiers.
He said that he himself had no
school learning because he had never
had the chance, but that during the
three years of the war he had gone
through process of education. He
found that the bravest and most trust
worthy soldiers were those who had
received good education. At the end
of the war so per cent. of those who
still remained under arms on the Boer
side were men of learning. Nearly
all the men of the back veldt had
abandoned the struggle and gone
home
That, said de Wet, was his expert
ence and, therefore, he rejoiced In
the spread of education in the Trans
vaal.

DIAMONDS TO FARMERS WIVES
Record Breaking Crops In West
Shown in Depletion Of New
York Stocks of Gems.

New York.-The prosperity of the
western farmer has depleted the
stocks of diamonds In Maiden Lane,
and the importing houses there have
hurried their buyers across the ocean
to purchase new supplies. Dealers
say that the lethargy which began in
the jewelry trade two years ago has
been followed of late by so great an
increase in business that the trade Is
taken by surprise and that even the
largest dealers are finding 1t difficult
to fill orders for the higher grades OF
perfect stones.
Although s5,O0O,OOO worth of gems
were imported into this country last
month, quantity five times greater
than the same month last year, the
dealers have been unable to fill or
ders.
They say that the orders from the
middle west and the northwest are
the most urgent and. as those re.
gions are reporting record breaking
crops, the importers are of the opin-
ion that the jewels, or. at least, many
of them, are going to the farmers
wives.

The Woman of Charm.

There is probably no word woman
likes so well to hear applied to her.
self as charming Perhaps the near.
est approach we can make to a def
milton, or rather explanation of this
Elusive quality is a deeply sympa-
thetic temperament, an unselfishness
which considers only the pleasure and
comfort of others and an abundant
good nature, equal to all emergen-
cies. The possessor of these charac-
teristics is always at peace with the
world and enjoys life to the utmost;
she always conduces to the pleasure
of others. The woman of real, inner
ent charm is one whose goodness of
heart prompts her to be kindly and
courteous to everybody Emerson's
remark that good manners are made
up of petty sacrifices is to the point,
but the charming woman is not con-
scious of any sacrifice, rather, in her
alone, to paraphrase Dryden, tits nat
ural to please. Someone has said that
the true lady is one who puts every
one at his ease, and in the last analy-
sis this will be found correct.-The

HAS FANCY FOR PASSPORTS.
One Man Whose Hobby Seems to Lie
in Gathering Seals of the
State Department.

There is one man in this city who
has an odd fad, which is apparently
the collecting of seals of the depart
ment of state, says the New York Sun.
He does not often go abroad, in fact.
he has been on the other side prob
ably no more than four times in the
course of his life, and he now is
around so. But for about 20 years he
has been in the habit of applying an
annually for a passport. He writes to
the department of state, gets an ap-
plication blank and has it filled out
He goes to the same notary every
time and pays the fee. Then he sends
to the department and gets his pass
port back in due course.
Passports are valid for two years
without renewal, yet he never misses
year and he fills out a new applica-
ton every time. Thus he has a col
lection of papers and seals running
back over these years. He never had
occasion to use a passport when
abroad, but he says it has been a help
to him when travelling in this country
as means of Identification when that
his been necessary in some city in
which he was a stranger The chief
| idea he has is that some time it might
be imperative for him to leave for a
foreign country on some business or
other and having the passport he
would not have to delay for 1t.

Conquerinq a Mountain Rance.

When the Mexican government and
American and English capitalists
wanted to extend the national rail-
way system of Mexico from Mexico
City to the Pacific, the question was
how they were to take their railroad
across, through or under the Sierra
Madre mountains. Pioneers and path
finders rode far and near to discover
some opening in the mountains that
might prove to be natural one. At
last one venturesome explorer discov-
cred little opening and rode towards
it, fearing that he might have been
deceived by mirage. But it was a.
real opening. He, solitary horse
man, ventured in and continued on,
forever winding in and out, the pass;
deviating at times from straight line
by many miles, but at last opening
out upon the Pacific side. In such
fashion WAS the Sierra Madre range
conquered for the branch railroad
from Mexico City to the Pacific.

handed him deed to Manhattan

he sold, bargained, conveyed, trans

that lying west of the Mississippi
river. This he divided into two por-
tons. One of these portions he gave
to the transcontinental railroads and
the other portion he set aside as a
basis for future land frauds.
Needless to say, real estate offices
sprang UP everywhere, prices immedi-
