TREE to memory OF Beau Nash.
The famous Beau Nash was at one
time extremely fond of beautiful
girl called Juliana Papjoy, sometimes
known as the Bishopstrow belle. She
used to ride about the streets of Bath
on fine gray horse carrying a whip
with many thongs, fad which gained
for her the title of Lady Betty Bosom.
Juliana was very kind-hearted and
during the last Ave years OF the
beaus life she nursed him devotedly.
After his death she vowed that she
would never again sleep in bed and
took up her abode in large hollow
tree, where she lived for many years,
earning a scanty livelihood by sell

carrying. At last Juliana became very

circles. Already the committee has
gotten together and planned for a
schedule, weeks trip through the
principal cities of Iowa being in view
although no contracts have as yet
been made The candidates for the
team will try out next week if ar
rangements can be SO made. that the
team will get plenty of practice. A
game has been scheduled for this
place on the Goth of December with
the team from Princeville, Illinois, as
the opponents. Owing to the abund-
ance Of good material the second team
will be a strong affair and will be
equal In strength to great many of
the first Y. M. G. A. teams of the
country.
The basket ball committee is com.
posed of Allen Sheldon, Paul King and
director Chamberlain Last nigh they
got together and made arrangements

Des Moines, Davenport, Oskaloosa,
and Cedar Rapids, making an even
six towns. The week which they
have selected as the most convenient
of this tour is the second one in Jan
uary BY that time a great deal of
practice will have been secured and
the various players will have time to
arrange for day off from their regu-
lar duties.
AS yet there has been no captain
selected and as there is lots OF
star material this will be a
somewhat difficult task. BY the
time the men have worked together
for few nights 1t is thought that a
! selection will be made.

The Facts in Race Suicide.

The birth rate in the United States
in the days Of its Anglo-Saxon youth
was one of the highest in the world.
The best Of authority traces the be-
ginning of it's decline to the first ap-
pearance about 1850 Of immigration
on a large scale. Our great phlloso-
pher, Benjamin Franklin, estimated
six children to a normal American
family in his day. The average at
the present time is slightly above two.
For 1900 it is calculated that there
are only about three-fourths as many
children to potential mothers in Amer
lea as there were forty years ago.
Were the old rate Of the middle OF
the century sustained, there would De
$4,000 more births yearly in the State
Of Massachusetts than now occur. In
the course of century the proportion
of our entire population, consisting or
children under the age of 10, has fallen
from one-third to one-quarter. Thls,
for the whole United States, is equiv
alent to the loss of about 7,OOO,OOO
children. So alarming has this phe-
nomenon of the falling birth rate be-
come in the Australian colonies that,
in New South Wales, special govern
mental commission has voluminously
reported upon the subject. 1t is est1-
mated that there has been a decline
of about one-third in the fruitfulness
of the people in fifteen years. New
Zealand even complains Of the lack OF
children to fill her schools. The facts
concerning the stagnation, nay even
the retrogression Of the population OF
France. are too well known to need
escription.-Atlantic Monthly.

TO RAISE SWISS GOATS.
Breed Immune from tuberculosis Being
Tested for Milk Production at
University of Wisconsin.

MADISON, Wis, May 17.-[Special.l
The commercial possibilities as milk
producers of imported Swiss mich goats
is now being tested at the University of
Wisconsin college of agriculture. AS
these goats are noted for their large milk
production and are practically immune
from tuberculosis, the Importance of the
test is evident.
a herd of five imported Swiss mich
goats of the famous Schwartzenburg Gug-
gesberger breed has just been leased to
the station by Ernest Gozenbach, She
boygan, for these cooperative tests on
the breeding and rearing of mich goats
to determine their usefulness, economy
of milk production, and the relation to
other classes of live stock.
1t is believed that this is the first time
q scientific test of their usefulness has
been attempted in this country, as there
are comparatively few of these goats in
the United States. The work will be
carried on under the direction of Prof.
6. G. Humphrey, head of the animal hus-
bandry department, who will be assisted
by Mr.. Gozenbach in establishing herd.
