WAS Robert Moran. a man who was
brave enough to face any emergency,

Moran was mayor of Seattle. the real
foundation of this city was lald, in
1889 and 1890, just after the big fire.

In the decade between 1899 and
1909 the annual value of American
farm products increased from 81, Ill.,
600. 600 to So. 76O. 100000. In other
words. the farms of the United States
produced 85 per cent more wealth in
1909 than in 1899. These official sta
tistics OF the secretary of agriculture
afford convincing proof that in spite
of the drift from country to city. OF
which we have heard SO much in re-
cent years, the great agricultural in
dustry is far from going into de-
cline.

FOURTH OF JULY
 DEATHS DECREASE

Chicago, September 3.-Although the list of deaths and accidents due to the celebration of the Fourth of July is ap- pauling, the sane" observation of the day this year shows a notable im- provement in this respect according to statistics compiled by the Journal of the American Medical association which were made public here today The summary shows:
 1.-TWO thousand nine hundred and twenty-three persons were injured July this year of whom 131 died Eixty-seven death were due to tetanus, 1s were killed outright by fire arms Il by explosions of powder. bombs or torpedoes, six by cannon or similar girls, were burned to death by fire from fireworks.
 Startling as Is this showing, 1t is the best since 1903, when the Journal began keeping it's record. In 1903, 444s persons were injured, of which 4e6 lost their lives. 40s of them dying p< tetanus.
 The grand total for eight years shows that 37,526 persons have been injured in Independence Day celebra- tions. Of these 1875 died the greater portion from tetanus.
 The detailed figures for 1910 show y2 cases of lockjaw, ST of which were fatal; persons lost their sight, 33 lost one eye. 26 lost arms, legs or

IMPERIAL PARADES
 THROUGH GERMANY
Everybody in Empire Loves
 Military Display
EVEN SOCIAL DEMOCRATS
Interesting Story of Field Marshal of Germany-DIscovere He Was Not Paying His Farm Jaborers
 Enough Money

Berlin, September 3-(special)-This is
 Imperial parade!
 The words sound good to German ears, for every German, from Kaiser to la borer, loves military display. The most fierce social democrat will take day off to see the soldiers pass review to the sound of the bands, and will--often enough against the will, but carried by the general enthusiasm-join in the hearty hip. hip. hurrahs!''
 Flags floating from all the roofs win dows and balconies crowded with ma irons and pretty girls and children way ing handkerchiefs. And both sides of the street lined with people. Thousands of them, rows and rows deep. The music has passed; also the car riages of princes and generals and ann bassadors. Passed, sometimes, the car riage of the Empress. And perfect howl of delight greets the advance of the Crown Princess Cecilie; young, sweet, beloved by every man, woman and child in Germany; most especially in Berlin.
 Then passes the Crown Prince! He sits on horseback something like a gentleman jockey, contrary to his father, who, clean shaven and with toga would look for all the world like a Roman imperator.
 There he is nowl Long before you see him, his advance Is heralded by the shouts of the crowds;
 '.The Kaiser! The Kaiser!''
 Like fanfares the shouts greet him. Thanking earnestly, slightly lowing, he touches his helmet in reply.
 Now, he, too, has passed, and general interest turns towards the three men who escorted him to right and left.
 Did you see them? The one on the left of the Kaiser; that was old Haeseler the other one was Mackensen, and the third von der Goltzour, three military stars, our Moltkesl'
 And wherever the parade passes, every where the same worlds
 See there! Our three great ones!'
 yox populi. vox dei! Many who call these three names to one another have never learned word of German history Yet they know: Our three great ones!
 "Old" Haeseler stands Q the middle. While are "Moltkes" in ability and knowledge only. Haeseler is a Moltke also in appearance. The long, sllnl' smooth shaved figure looks like the ln- carnation of the hero of 1870.
 And now these, too, have passed by. But the crowd keeps on talking about them. They talk what they have heard. Many have been soldiers un- der one or the other. These tell splen- did stories as for instance the story of a "Haeseler Breakfast" The sim plicity of the "old man" has, in ev- cry respect. become proverbial Once royal prince had been ordered to accompany Haeseler to some manoeuvre exercise. The royal prince, after re- ceiving his instructions, invited Count Haeseler to luncheon at the Grand hotel. The count accepted upon the promise of the prince to join him in his (the count's) lunch next day at the end of the military practice. In the afternoon the officers were notified that the commander will have lunch served-it is not necessary to bring provisions along.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-09-04

The prince was a heavy eater-all Hohenzollerns are. The military eX- ercises did not seem to come to ar end! The prince was ordered hither and thither, like a common soldier. And then something happened to the prince that has never happened to him be- fore. Only the thought of the ,splen- did lunch to come kept them on tn cir feet The royal prince pulled his re- beating watch every few minutes and let it play, but Hseseler dfd not seem to notice The situation became des- .perate.
 Finally, precisely at 12 o'clock-after six hours work-Haeseler stopped. i;v- erybody dismounted, gathering around the chief and impatiently awaiting the serving of the lunch. Finally an or derly approached leading a horse. To the saddle of the animal a basket was attached. The orderly opened the bas- Iet and handed every man a bali wrapped in tissue paper; a second or derly did the same with a glass of fresh, clear water And Haeseler ln- vited his officers to this lunch by say ing: 'sThe minimizing of baggage must go hand in hand with self control" adding: For your royal highness have ordered two apples." That royal prince never in his life forgot the only "Haeseler lunch" he ever took.
 This story charaeterizes the field marshal as a soldier. Not one charac- terizing him as man.

Once high officer paid a visit to thv field marshal at his country seat, Harne- kop The servant felt sorry; he could not announce the visitor, because his ex- cellency had left for the fields
 The officer, however, did not care to leave Harnekop without having seen the count. so he declared his intentions of waiting until Haeseler returned.
 The servant did not seem to like the idea.
 His excellency will not be back before tonight" he said.
 Then" replied the visitor, "I'll look him up in the fields. Just point out the way"
 The servant did as requested. and after 15 minutes walk he came across a potato field. In the center with spade in hand and surrounded by his laborers was the field marshal of Germany.
 Dear friend, glad to see you. But really, Pm busy now. Wait until the days work is done or-call again."
 Such was the reception of the visitor, who turned, went back to the house and waited
 And what has caused the field marshal to spend a full day digging potatoes?
 His laborers had asked for a raise in wages. Haeseler replied: wen see; I must first make up my mind whether I am paying you enough for the work or too ltittle.''
 And forwith this old gentleman of 70 years worked one whole day with his men, resting when they rested, eating when they ate. And when all had put their spades away that evening, he said to them.
 You are right. You have not been re- ceiving enough pay for your work. From tomorrow on you will have more!''

Next to Haeseler stands Won Macken- sen. This commanding general com menced his career by gaining the iron cross in 1870. He is the prototype of a German warrior-turned-up mustache, strong chin, deep. sharp, gray eyes Once-so they say--he, captured Emperor William, who personally commanded the opposing forces at maneuvre. Their friendship was only strengthened by the episode.
 And the third? Won der Goltz? Goltz- Pasche?
