It Remains to be Seen.

If any mistake was made in the
Tariff Jaw it was in reducing the
rales too much instead of too little.
In the first six months of the new
law the importation of goods chat
came in competition with home made
goods increased $2O0,OOO,0OO over The
same six months last year. That
much money was sent abroad for
goods that might just as we'll have
been made by our own workmen and
sold by our own manufacturers. The
balance Of trade in our favor is
steadily dwindling, and If this con-
tinues the time may come when 4.

have TO ship our gold abroad TO pay
our debts. The law Is a success as
money raiser because it increas-
es importatiors, but it remains to

A BANK
in HANDBAG
Satchel Which Fleming
Sharp Carried full Of Money
Seen on Streets Many Times
But Nobody Suspected
It's Contents.

The recert death of Mr.. Flemin,
Sharpe, which occurred at his homt
near Pleasant Ridge, Ohio county, 4
few days ago, has disclosed a marvel
Gus story, with reference to the man
ner in which that old gentleman han
died his money, and 1t is said THAI
with the exception of his wife and
children, no one ever knew much
about his business transactions.
Mr.. Sharpe was about 20 years oi
age at the time of his death and was
one of the best known and most pros
porous farmers in Ohio county. Start
ing out in life with nothing but pow
erty staring him in the face, but with
a determined effort to make this life
useful and successful one, he sue
ceeded, and his estate is now valued
at $4,000.
One of the remarkable character
istics of MIR. Sharpe's life is that he
was rarely ever seen in owensboro
wiGhout a little hand saachel which
it is said, he always carried with
him when he left home. No one ever
suspected the contents of the satchel.
but since his death, it has devel-
oped that there was $4,000 In cash
tied up in an old bandanna handker-
chief, which Mr.. Shaupe carried
around with him while walking on
the streets of Owensboro. Mr.
Sharpe's family knew that he had this
money with him when he came to
Owensboro, but not a living soul out
side the family had any such know
ledge thar a portable bank was in
the city. Shortly before Mr.. Sharpe
died he was prevailed upon TO finally
make a deposit of part, of the money,
and there S now in the Owensboro
banks belonging to his estate about
SIG, 900.
Mr. NJ. j. HOlbnook, cashier of the
bank of Whitesville, was appoin.ed
administrator of Mr.. Sharpe's estate,
and upon qualifying the early part
Of the week he went TO the old home
stead to take an inventory Of the per-
sonal property, and was much sur
prised when ohe family handed over
TO him $4,000 in cash which Mr..
Sharpe had had on hands for several
years.-Owensboro Inquirer.

slunng across the radiator, and bub-
bling over with tales of his trip.
There are 4s,00O,O0O people living
on farms and in towns of less than
1000 in this country. This means
that over half of our population Is
practically in the country. Abous
25,000,O00 OF these are young people,
and they are just as keen for pleas
ure as young people anywhere else.
That is one big reason for the auto
mobile on the farm. Ten or fifoeen
years ago farmers bought organs for
their daughters and buggies for their
sons. A great many of them are
today buying autos for the whole fam
lily. An entirely new meaning has
been given to the village social life,
in consequence.-Travel Magazine.

Premature Burial Practically Un-

1t IS possible that an examination Il
the probability of premature burial in
the light of certain facts may be Of
consolation ITO the less prejudiced of
those who dread Its Occuunce.. says
the London Lancet. In all the thou
sands Of post moTItem examinations
which have been performed throughout
the civilized world during The last fifty
years, has there been single instance
Of the supposed corpse under examin-
alton showing sigrs of life such as
would infallibly appear at the dissec-
ton Of living subject? We venture
to say that If Ihis had occurred the
world would have heard of it We
would point out, moreover, that the
bodies upon which pos. montum exam
inations are performed are in no sense
selected, but include those of persons
of boh sexes and of al ages who
have died from all sonts of natural an6
violen- deaths and at widely varying
Intervals of time before the section

In our minds this consideration at
once dispcses of The assumption that
premature burial is of any frequen,s oc-
currence and limits discussion 10 those
unusual cases in which either because

which expert opinion Twin always be
sought and in which burial will naTur-
ally be delayed until the onset Of the

Evidence more conclusive than that
OF opinion Is forthcoming, for our
Vienna correspondent describes the
elaborate system of deaoh certifica-
ton which has been enforced in Aus
tria during the last ffHsy years. which
provides that every body before burial
must be seen at least twice within
forty-eight hours after death by two In
dependent medical men and by one of
them again, Immediately before the
closing of the coffin. In no single
instance has the tact of death been
controverted during these repeated
examinations, and to make assurance
doubly sure in Vienna these persons
who desire 1t can have the uncoffined
bodies of their dead friends kept un-
der observation in special mcatuary
halls for as long as eight days be-
fore burial, but of the many thou
sands OF bodies which have been laid
out in this manner not one has ever
risen from his or her probationary

Some New Factors in Farm Life.

The number of automobiles owned
by farmers is growing rapidly. Out
of $4,000 autos in Iowa, 5000 are
owned by farmers. Kansas farmers
spent s3.2OO,O0O for automobiles dur
ing 1909 and s2.75O,OOO in 1908. In
one Nebraska town of 800 population
forty autos were sold lasf year TO
farmers near the town ard retired
farmers in the town Careful estimate
OF the number Of automobiles owned
by farmers in the entire United States
Is 10000.
Nowadays there is no more cry
about lack of opportunity on the farm

Of them are arguing that the auao-

Packers Plan to Force Prices
Sky High During
Year.

Chicago, April 20.-Seventy-two mill
ion eggs have been taken off the mar
ket in order to keep prices at their
pnssenl.' high level, and an attempt Is
being made to corner the entire crop
of 1910 so that big prices may be
sustained for at least twelve months
10 come.
These are statements made by a
local egg merchant. 1t was further
stated that packers were back of the
movement and that one of their chief
objects was TO cuTtail the immediate
consumption of eggs in order to in
crease the demand for meats during
the hot weather months.
1t is said the entipe Central West
Is being coined for fresh eggs, hte
object of going into the country for
supplies being to keep receipts at
market points down to moderate vol
umn and check any downward tenden-
cy OF prices 10 the consumer.
Anyone at all conversant with the
egg business will admit that the pres
ent high prices are not justified by
the usual law of supply and demand
for Legitimate purposes" said the
merchant. "The trade here believes
that the meat packers are making an
effort to force eggs to such a high
level that there may be expected on
ly a limited consumption of eggs to
take the place of meat durdng the
spring and summer.
