new FACT ABOUT LINCOLN
TOLD BY HIS BODYGUARD.
Did Guard Leave His Post the Night
Lincoln Was Shot?

Colonel William II. Crook. who was
Lincoln's bodyguard, brings up Il new
point regarding the presidents asSas-
sinution in his recently published book
Of "reminiscences. "Through Five Ad-
ministrut ions" Colonel Crook writes:
II have often wondered why the neg
ligence Of the guard who accompanied
the president to the thcater on the
night Of the 14th has never been d.
vulgcd. SO far as | know, it was not
even investigated by the police de-
partment. Yet had he done his duty
| believe President Lincoln would not
have been murdered by Booth. The
man was John Parker. 1t was the
custom for the guard who accompa-
MED the president to the theater to
remain in the little passageway out
side the box-that passageway through
which Booth entered. Mr.. Bucking-
ham, who was the doorkeepcr ut Ford's
theater, remembers that Il chair was
placed there for the guard on that
evening of the 18th. Whether Parker
occupied it at all | do not know. II he
did he left it almost Immediately, for
he confessed to me the next day that
he went to seat at the front of the
first gallery so that he could see the
play. TO me it is very probable that
the fact that there was no one on
guard may have determined the time
of the attack"

GREAT LAKES SKY PILOT
HAS 1900 MILE PARISH.
Gasoline Boat Is Church, and Services
Are Hold Annually.

A parish 1900 miles in length and
300 miles in width Is in charge Of the
Rev. w. H. Law. known from Buffalo
to Duluth as the sky pilot of the great
lakes.
The membership Of this parish runs
into the thousands. and the great ma
jority of the parishioners never wor-
ship twice in the same locality. for
services are held mostly in the moving
ships. No wedding has ever taken
place in this parish, no christening Of
q baby, no services for the burial Of
the dead
This sky pilot seeks his parishioners
in small gasoline boat twenty-five
feet in length. Besides carrying the
message of gospel to these men. he
takes to them books. magazines. pa
pers and news of the outside world.
His visits are looked forward to by the
lighthouse keepers and the lightship
crews. for his territory Is so large that
he is unable to visit them more than
once during the season.
Some of the lighthouses visited are
far from the mainland, and the trips to
them are hazardous. Standard Rock
light, for instance, is nearly fifty miles
out from Marquette on Lake Superior.
The light is 1O5 feet In height and
rests on crib work, which is encircled
by railway, and for weeks at time
the weather is so bad that it Is dan
gerous for the keepers to venture out
Of doors. Between the light and Ke-
weenaw point there is depth Of zoos
feet of water.
On his travels the sky pilot visits
300 lighthouses, fifteen lightships and
sixty life saving stations. Mr.. Law
does not outwardly resemble a minis
ter Of the gospel. He is big and healthy
and has rolling gait like sailor. He
breaches simply to the sailors. with
whom he is very popular

own NFleT - 0uSy'
The washerwomen Of the small VII
lage of St. Pierre d'Oleron, in France,
decided to strike and sent the town
crier through the streets to proclaim
that henceforth their rate was 30 cents
q day with meals. The women who
employed them retorted by means of
the same town crier that the new rate
would only be paid on condition.:
First.-A day was to be from a. m. to
p. m.
second.-No linen was to be brought to
the houses where the women were en-
ployed to be washed.
Third.-Coffee not to be included.
A tumultuous meeting Of the wash
erwomen followed, and the town crier
was sent forth once more to proclaim
that the washerwomen had now raised
their price to IS cents day.
''Those who wish to keep clean will
employ US at that price; those who do
not wish to are begged to do their own
washing" they added.
The matrons of St. Pierre d'Oleron
met, discussed the situation and de-
cided to do their own washing rather
than submit to such extortion.
Result, in a few days the town crier
was again on the march throughout
the streets giving out the following
notice:
Ladies, the washerwomen Of st.
Pierre have decided after reflection to
continue day work on the old term, 20
cents day, with meals and coffee"

Tobacco Growing New Agricultural
Development Of Emerald Isle.

1t may not be long before the '1rish

"clear Havana" Tobacco growing Is
being developed with some rapidly

1t is about twenty years since Colo

County Meath. Others have initiated
him, and the result is that now. in ad-
dition to his twenty-five acres. there
are Lord Barrymore with ten acres,
Lord Dunraven with twenty-five acres,
Captain Otway CUTIE with seven acres
and many others with small plots.
The total area under cultivation IN
Ireland is 12O acres. comprising seven
ty-nine acres Of pipe tobacco, twenty
eight acres Of cigarette and thirteen
acres Of cigar tobaccos. In Dublin

turns out pipe tobaccos and cigars
and cigarettes. all made from the home
grown product.
Tobacco was grown extensively at
one time in the Emerald Isle for
commercial purposes. but successive
English rulers effectually stamped out
the industry. 1t was with a view OF
increasing opportunities for the peas
antry that Colonel Everard took up his
experiments. After combating many
obstacles expert advice was obtained
from America. and six years ago the
government came to his assistance, the
industry now being supervised by
governmental official who combines
expert knowledge obtained In America
with practical information as to local
conditions and influences.

In the Spring.

The country schoolteacher had been
telling her scholars about the seasons
and their peculiarities, and to impress
their minds with the facts she Ques-
toned them upon the points she had
given. Several queries had been put,
and finally she reached the stupid boy
in the corner.
"Well. Johnny" she said. "have you
been paying attention?''
"Yes'm," he answered promptly.
'I'm glad to hear it. Now, can you
tell me what there IS in the spring."
"Yes'm, can, but don't want to-"
"Oh, yes. you do. Don't be afraid.
You have heard the others. Be good
boy, now, and tell us what there is in
the spring."

lizard an dead cat in it, but I
didn't put 'em there. 1t was another

GULLET SEAT OF HUNGER?

Whether the feeling of hunger has

D0FF GLASSES IN B0W'NG7
China Rent by Curious Debate on Eli
quette.


Should a man remove his spectacles
on greeting his friends as he would re-
move his hat before a woman? Con-
sentative China answers, certainly"
Modern China, especially the student
class, insists it is not at all necessary,
especially if one really needs ones
spectacles in order to see. Feeling Is
high on the subject.
The meetings Of the first const1tu-
tional assembly have only intensified
the discussion A curious incident
started the trouble. From time imme-
mortal. or at least since the invention
Of artificial aids to sight, it has been
the usage Of the Celestial empire to
take off ones spectacles on meeting an
acquaintance.
In Europe and America hats are re-
moved in the presence of women. In
France you uncover on meeting either
man or q woman acquaintance. In
China you take off your spectacles.
What's the difference? Thus argue
many Of the enlightened. But young
mobiles who have been educated abroad
have learned to >corn native customs
in favor of European and American.
A youthful mandarin noted for his
learning and brilltancy was recently
summoned before the regent. he Is
extremely shortsighted; therefore he
didn't take off his horn rims as he was
shown into the imperial presence. An
attendant, noticing this, sprang for
ward, tore them from his face and
gave him a smart slap on the cheek.
Other students, hearing Of the affair,
rallied angrily to the support Of their
colleague. and the debate has since
ragged merrily.

Rarely Occupied by More Than Two
Prisoners.
Iceland is law abiding place.
There is only one Jail, and that rarely
ever has more than two people in it.
This is to be largely accounted for
by the fact that there is not distil-
lery or a brewery in all Iceland. Some
liquors are imported from Scotland,
Norway and Denmark, but there will
be an end to this in the year 1912,
when the prohibitory law passed by
parliament on July 80. 1909. will go
into effect.

British Scientists Find New
Use For Electricity.
ALSO ACCELERATES GROWTH.
Wheat Yield Increases Ono third With
Assistance Of Current, Experiment
Proves, and Even Fish Develop
Amazingly When Vital Sparks Pens-
trate Their Ponds.

The latest experiments in applying
the electric current to growing plants
and flowers, as reported by Professor
]. Fl. Priestley Of the botanical labo-
ratory at Bristol university, England.
tend to show that the current not only
accelerates the growth, but also In
some way improves their health and
makes them stronger and better able
to resist disease.
The precise action Of the current Is
not yet fully understood. There Is a
difference in the color Of electrified
and nonelectrif1ed growing wheat, the
former being a darker green in conse-
quence Of the plants obtaining more
nitrogen from the air.
Increase 10 Remarkable.
The increase in yield OF wheat under
electrical cultivation amounted In one
case to almost one-third.
The current. as rule, Is conducted
by wire from the generating station,
or power house, to the field and there
raised to a very high voltage before
distribution over the field on wires at
tached to poles ten feet high. Escap-
ing from the wire to the ground. the
current passes through the plants and
so completes the circuit
In cloudy or foggy weather there Is
a greater current escaping from the
wires. The cost of the electrical st1m-
ulation is not as great as that Of stim-
ulation supplied by the use OF phos-
phate or other ordinary enrichers.
Modifies Floral CoIors.
It has been found that the current
somewhat modifies the colors Of flow
ers, and this fact is being taken ad-
vantage of by greenhouse culhvators.
who have begun to use the electric
current quite extensively.
The current has been applied to
private fish pond in Sussex with re-
ported quickening results on the
growth of the finny residents. but
these experiments have not progressed
far enough for definite scientific re-
suits to be announced.
