MRS. CHAMBERLAIN PRAISED.
England Admires American Wife's De-
votion to Political Leader.

votion to Political header.
The loyalty and wifely devotion Of
Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, wife of one
of the greatest figures in English po-
litical circles Of today, is the talk Of
two continents. Before her marriage
to the British statesman she was Miss
Mary Endicott of Salem, daughter Of
the late Hon. Williams G. Endicott,
who under President Cleveland was
secretary Of war.
Some years age Chamberlain was
suddenly taken sick, and during his ILL
ness. which even his most intimate
friends feared was his last, his wife
was ever by his side. She seldom left
the sickroom, and, although there
were nurses, she insisted on caring for
him herself. She YVES to Elm what
Mrs. Gladstone was to England's, great
premier in his last sickness.
And now that Chamberlain IS better
much better, it is said-she has even
a harder task to perform. for the old
warhorse is longing to Jump into har-
ness once more. and it is her work to-
keep him quiet until he is really fit:
In the great campaigns which her
husband has fought and won she has
been his best friend and adviser, and
during the crisis attending the windupt
Of the Boer war she was his greatest
help.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
USE OLD DAVIS HOME.
Bathe and Collect Oysters and Crabs
Near New Orleans.

The veterans Of the Confederate ar
my are housed in the home which was
once the house of Jefferson Davis, on
the gulf of Mexico, not far from New
Orleans. where they can see the blue
expanse of water, battle to their
hearts content and in spare moments
collect oysters or catch crabs from the
piers in front.
BeauVoir is an ideal spot for an old
mans home. 1t was given to Mr.. Davis
by southern woman who admired
MIN greatly, and for many years he
and his family lived there when they
were not in the larger cities. 1t is
one of the many southern homes on
the Mississippi and Louisiana stretch
of the gulf of Mexico, with their shell
roads in front and wide domains Gov
cred with trees behind.
1t is built in the usual style of that
region, with long, wide hall extend
ing through the middle of the house
and opening on to a veranda or gal
lery which runs across the front, The
hall is used as living room, and off
from it are bedrooms. In the yard is
guest house, where Mr.. Davis enter
tanned his friends, and a small but
well stocked library is housed in cot
tage which fell to the Davis family
with the house.
But the estate of Beauvoir is not the
only attraction the veterans enjoy, for
1t is situated in one of the most UNIQUE
regions of the United States. This
part was the home of the Arcadians
who migrated there from Nova Scotia.
and it is also the home of MANY aris-
tocratlc creoles who live there the
whole year or own picturesque sum-
mer cottages, retiring to New Orleans
or Mobile in the winter.

PAPUANS WEARING TAILS.
Have Holes In Ground to Put Them In
While Sitting.

Have Holes In Ground to Put Them In
While Sitting.
Judge J. H. P. Murray, the British
lieutenant governor Of Papua, says
that he has never heard the natives
speak Of pygmies-a race Of whom Is
reported to have been discovered there
but stories Of men with tails were
common among them.
Judge Murray once chatted with q
Papuan who alleged that he had ae-
tually been in a village inhabited by
men with tails. Their houses had holes
in the ground for the reception OF their
{ tails when they sat down.
These stories. says Judge Murray,
are rather curious in view Of the fact
| that there are no monkeys in the great
equatorial island.

MUD HUTs OF IRELAND
FAST BEING REPLACED.
James Bryce Assisted by Beginning
Ensland's Loan to Owners.

| = ~
The mud edif1ce is becoming thing
/ Of the past in Ireland. It was more or
less picturesque in descriptions of the
landscape, but it was and is certainly
! insanitary and often unfit for the
abode Of human beings.
| It still exists too numerously. bnt If
has been the aim Of the Irish repre-
lsentatives for a generation to abolish
| It in favor Of habitable cottages.
More than quarter Of century ago
the first laborers' act was passed.
From 1883 to 1906 10000 cottages were
erected for the laborers. Local author
tiles had power to borrow money from
the government, repayable by install
ments, and build the cottages with the
proceeds, letting them at charge
which covered the cost.
The work was slow because the rate
at which the money was borrowed was
too high to enable the cottages to be
let without loss to the rates ,at a price
that laborers could pay and because,
as is usual in this red tape ridden
country, vast amount of money had
to be spent on procedure, which means
in the end law costs.
Then James Bryce came along and
before his departure for Washington
made his chief secretaryship memo
rable by an act which has done as
much for the laborers since his day,
and done it better and cheaper, as was
done in the previous quarter Of cen
fury.
Procedure was simplifed, and the
money was lent upon favorable terms.
Ireland got loan Of f4,500,OO0 $22,-
5O0,000) at 81 per cent, covering both
interest and sinking fund, with other
financial advantages thrown in, and
cottages could be erected and let to
the laborers at rents as low as shil-
ling and sixpence and even shilling
week.
But the money is now all gone, and
some thousands Of laborers are still in
the mud edifices comparable to the
kraal and the wigwam. The Irish par
ty hasNbeen pressing the matter in par
Mament and has induced Mr.. Birrell to
let them have another Fl, 100000.

CUT ROADS TO WIDEN FARMS.
loMa's Governor Has Plan TO Erricas
Hawkeye State.

Governor Carroll of Iowa has pro-
posed that. the width Of that states
roads be cut down from sixty to forty
feet and that the strips Of land thus
saved be turned over to the farmers
for cultivation
He believes that forty feet is wide
enough for country road, that such
a road will be better and more easily
cared for than the wider one and that
the twenty extra feet ROW is simply
wasted.
The title Of this land, il the plan is
carried out, naturally vests in the
ems, Of land adjoining the roads. as the
states right to it is simply for high
way purposes, SO the measure will. be
popular with farmers. It is estimated
that S,50O, 600 bushels Of corn CAM be
added to Iowa's crop and So per. capita

FIBER PREVENTS DROWNING.
Lighter Than swansdown, but Two
Pounds Float a Man


Pounds Float Man.
One OF the most important life saw
Ing discoveries ever made has lust been
tested on the Thames at London. A
vegetable fiber has been found lighter
IN color than fax and lighter in weight
than sWansdown, and less than two
pounds of it will save any man or
woman from drowning.
AL the circumstances which fire.
quently accompany boating disaster
were reproduced at the test, Two men
set out IN canoe from houseboat in
the neighborhood of Laleham. There
was only one other craft on the reach
at the time, large steamer laden with
passengers taking a trip upstream.
The majority Of them leaned over the
rail and watched the canoe.
suddenly they were horror stricken
to see-what is so often a prelude to
boating tragedy-one of the Young
men standing up in the canoe. In q
moment the gunWale was under wa
ter and the two men were overheard.
Everybody expected to see them sink.
Ihey mad not noticed that two white
cushions had fallen in as well.
A moment later both men snatched
hurrledly at the cushions, and. to the
surprise of the steamer passengers.
once they had seized a corner of these
white cushions they were safe. The
weight of the two men, and they were
poth falrly heavy, seemed to have no
erect whatever Oh the cushions, which
were stuffed with kapok, the new life
saving fiber.

Hundred Mile Electric Line On
der Way IN Missouri
JERSEY COW IS TRADEMARK,
Asrieulturists and Prospective Patron.
Take All Stock to Bar Possibility Of
Corporation Monopoiy-Bonus Stock
Convertible Into Freight and Pas
senger Fares.

Southwest Missouri farmers are tax.
ing kindly to the idea Of popular own.
ership of public utilities-so much so
IN fact, that they are building their
own electric railroad.
This road runs from Springfield To
Joplin with branch line from Mount
Vernon to Pierce City, the entire line
to be 100 miles long. It has been
named the Jersey route" a Jersey
COW having been adopted as the trade
mark, and all rolling stock and sta
t1onery will bear the big cow arranged
as coat Of arms There will be five
freight locomotives, a hundred freight
cars, eight double truck coaches and
sixteen trailers
The farmers and actual patrons will
take up the stock and arrange it so
that there will never be an opening for
company or corporation to monopo-
lie the line. The plan was suggested
by j. l. Woodfill, a retired railroad
man, who now lives on his farm near
Springfield and devotes his time to per-
fecting schemes for public improve
ment in his section.
Other Attempts Failed.
Several attempts have been made to
promote the same line along well worn
principles of interurban road building,
but all failed for the reason that they
could not interest the farmers in the
enterprise.
But Mr.. Woodfll, being himself
farmer and in close touch with the
agricultural interests Of his section,
undertook to show the farmers what it
meant to their farms to have the road
built and soon convinced them that it
would advance the value of their land,
estimating by strip two miles wide,
$780, 600 per mile
The farmers fell in with Woodfill's
offer to put the deal through for them.
After securing the right of way and
subscription of $1,000 a mile from
farmers he induced a broker to look
the proposition over and secure funds
to construct the road This has been
done. and the enterprise is taking
shape.
To Develop New Sections.
Bonds are to draw s per cent and to-
run fifty years. One of the new and
taking features of financing is that
no stock is given away with the bonds
save to the purchasers Of common
stock. The stock thus given away is,
convertible into coupon books and
can be used to pay freight and pas
senger fares, thus securing business
for the road before it is built. There,
Ire $4,000 persons in the territory
:raversed by this road Moreover, the !
erritory tributary to this line is a.
lairying and fruit growing section.
md much business will be developed
where now transportation is too re-
note to make success. It also will

established health resort
1t has been little more than six
months since this scheme was first 4
aunched, and the road will be in full
operation by the middle Of 1911.

more than 1000 men are employed.
The road is graded and ready for bal

Work

VENICE, Feb. 3--Nenice will be the
seat of the aeroplane manufacturing
industry in the United States if the
asked for accommodations are fur
nished the Herring -Curtiss company,
makers of the Curtiss biplane. The
Merchants of Venice have received an
offer from the company through its
representative, H. c. Mars, to estab-
lish the flying machine plant here If
q certain honus in the shape Of build
ings and grounds is furnished.
At the meeting of the merchanta a
committee consisting of f. X. McCar-
YER, e. b. Browne and E. H. Pen
dleton was appinted to investigate the
proposition and report at a meeting
next week. Mars, in his offer to the
local body, declares that Glenn h. Cur
tiss will be in personal charge of the
manufacture of the machines and VIII
test them out as completed, possibly
holding an exhibition twice a week
For this purpose he desires long
field with high fence and a grandstand
capable of seating 5000 people. The
plant of the company is now situated
at Hammondsport, n. Y, but the
salubrious climate of Southern Califor-
MIA, which will permit daily outside
work with the aeroplanes, appeals
strongly to the Curtiss people and it
is considered almost certain that the
machines will be made somewhere in
this end of the state. The offer is met
favorably by the local merchants, who
realize what worldwide advertising
would accompany the location of the
aeroplane factory here.
