HOME OF THE COFFEE KING
Once HOed In the Fields Where Now
He Grows Eight Million
.s., Trees.

The home OF the coffee king is back
among the rich coffee lands OF Brazil.
where according to a writer in the Book
keeper, the blood red earth coors every
thing 1t touches with n reddish hue
His plantation, the Monte Algere, is
300 miles due west of Rio Janeiro but one
must travel twice that distance on a round
about journey to reach it. 1 rode with the
coffee king for hours and hours through a
continuous succession of coffee trees, with
no end in sight.
When one considers that there are from
go to 800 trees to each acre he will readily
believe that on the thirty-two plantations
owned by this one man there are more THAI
100000 trees.
His name, Francisco Schmidt, indicates
his German origin. A half century ago his
parents came to Brazil as poor emigrants
and settled in the coffee regions of the
state Of Sac Paulo, Brazil. The youthful
Francisco, who was then only 10 years of
age, began work by hoeing the coffee trees,
which was about the only work he could
do. He is now the owner of lands upon
which he hoed coffee when boy.
"A coffee field is beautiful sight when
the trees are In bloom in October, but
this beauty is evanescent. The petals soon
drop off, and then the green berries began
to appear in thick clusters, which require
months to mature.
Eat last their color changes to a cherry
red, and they are ready for the pickers.
This is the busy season and the coffee
plahtahons' are scenes OF great activity;
thousands of pickerss flock to the coffee
fields9 The cherries when picked are
sacked and run through pulping machines,
after which they are spread upon great
paved yards for drying.
Here they are turned and turned for
days and weeks; no artificial system of dry
ing equals that of the sun, which seems to
give the beans the desired flavor They
are now run through cleaning machines,
sorted and sacked and are sent by train to
the shipping ports.
THE production Of the Schmidt fazendas
for last year amounted to $4,000 sacks of
1873 pounds each. a total of more than 33,O0o,-
900 pounds OF green coffee. This would fur
nish cup of coffee to every man, woman
and child In the United States and Canada
for one week
1T requires more than 100 acres OF drying
yards either made OF brick paving or of
beaten EARTH 70 dry this great production
of coffee, and fourteen mills run by steam
or water power t. do. the work of the other
processes. There are $1,000 acres in the en-.
tire estate, although all of 1t is not under
coffee cultivation.
There are twenty-five railroad stations
on the lands of these various plantations
besides a number of other sidings.

EMANCIPATION OF THE EGG
Pittsburg Blases Trail Away
from the Cold storage
Article.

Who says that no wisdom has ever come
out of Pittsburg? The dispatches are now
carrying from that city the news of solu-
ton of one of the great problems of this
age-"How to get away from the cold
storage egg."
And the solver of this problem, which
has vexed so many housewives, and so
many clearinghouse patrons, and even so
many theatrical gentlemen, Is no other than
one of the despised Pittsburg millionaires-
one of those men whom the Carnegie melon
made rich overnight--Alexander R. Pea
cock We heartily recommend Mr.. Pea
cocks solution to all that care to try 1t.
1t seems that Mr.. Peacock found a cold
storage egg on his plate at breakfast one
morning. And right next to it there was
another one which even the adjacent por-
ton of luscious Chicago ham could not re-
deem. 80
Then Mr.. Peacock waxed peevish, and
finally he waxed wroth, and several other
things. The cold-storage eggs were taken
off faster than they had come on.
IF 1 can't get eggs fresher than this"
he growled, II will grow my own"
No sooner said than done. He telephoned
to a real estate man.
1T want a farm" he said. II want a
farm that will grow chickens, a lot Of
chickens, and eggs. 1t seems the only way
one can get fresh egg in Pittsburg is to
have his own farm"
And he got the farm. 1t cost $4,000
And now they are working night and day
putting up chicken coop on that farm
that viii make that $4,000 grow a lot more
1t is to be as fine as the famous Busse
hencoop at Fox Lake. II is to have electric
light, tile floors, the finest incubators and
all the comforts OF home except possibly
shower baths and plano. II some one
discovers that chickens lay better to music
a graphophone will be Installed.
AT any rate, within week or two, Mr.
Peacock will no longer be a slave to the
cold-storage egg.
Thus we are emancipated freIn the chains
Of modern industry.-Chicago lnter-Ocean.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug 1.-Bert S. Dur
ham, former city fireman, in q fit Of re-
venge, early today turned In a false alarm
of fire, and when former fellow workmen
responded he fired volley of shots a.
them. killing one and probably fatally In
juring two others. Durham then ran to
his home and with a piece OF steel wrapped
in handkerchief, beat his wife and baby
about their heads as they lay asleep. kill
ing both.
Fearing the crazed man might make an
assault upon his parents, police Chief VIII
son yesterday placed a guard about the
house. A guard was also placed about Dur
hams home on d street to prevent the
murderer from returning and firing on
those attending the bodies OF HIS wife and
child. Durham escaped 1t Is believed he
will end his own life at the first oppor-
tunity.
Several months ago Durham was dis
charged from the fire department for in
subordination. He was said to be quarrel
some. His dismissal is said to have preyed
upon him mind until he eoncocted a plan
for obtaining revenge.
After midnight he turned in false alarm
Of fire in dark and distant quarter Of the
city and lay in ambush awaiting the re-
Spouse of the fire company. Upon their
arrival, he>opened fire with revolver.
At the first shot Driver Don Grant fell
to the ground dead, with a bullet hole
through his head. At the second shot Guy
Elliott fell with a bullet in his stomach.
Peter Sampsell was shot through the lungs.
Two more shots were fired at the men,
bers OF the crew, but they went wild Mt
this instant, Assistant Fire Chief Snedecer
drove up. Covering the assistant chief and
the members of the fire company with his
revolver, Durham made his escape. As he
disappeared in the darkness, he called back
to the men, Tell my wife l am going to
commit suicide"
Within a few minutes the police were
notified and a score of officers in automo-
biles were on the scene searching for Dur
ham. So
When they went to his home the second
tragedy was discovered. Durham had locked
the doors of his home after him.

Parmelne of the department of sociolo-
Sy of the University of Kansas.
There is, theoretically, no more OBJ
lection to two men boxing for purse
which constitutes prize f;ghting-thdh
there is for two men to engage in any
ether sort of contest of strength and
skill for a prize" said Professor Par
melee. 1.-The ministers and societies

Johnson fight have confused the sport
itself with certain undesirable features
W bich have accompanied it thus far, Dus
V hich can be eliminated. Exhibiting
the prize fight pictures ought not TO Re
prohibited unless pictures OF all xmas
of sport are prohibited.
People condemn prize fighting large
IL because of what it IS associated with
letting, gambling, rowdyism and the
liEe-and because they do not consider
the sport on its own merits. Of course,
there mas been prize fighting that was
bad Fighting with the bare fists was
bad because It involved danger OF per-
n:anent physical injury Probably the

made a little heavier, in order to les
