TEA KETTLE BOILS DRY

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10
A dense volume of smoke, issuing
from Harry Hansen's saloon, 235
East street, at 1875 a. M, caused

forced the door James Clark, bar
tender, was found asleep in a
smoke-filled room.
He had retired, leaving kettle
of water on gas stove. The water
having evaporated, the smoke be-
gan to pour from the kettle. The

Commissioners to Push
Park Extension Bills

Nothing in the way. Of park improve
ments in the District Is more earnestly
desired by the Commissioners than the
passage of the bill providing for the
purchase of Klingle Ford valley. In
view Of rapidly increasing land values,
and the intention OF owners to grade
to level the lands adjoining the Kiln
gle Ford road, immediate action, the
Commissioners say, is necessary. Un-
less the bill introduced yesterday by
Senator Curtis, acting chairman of the
District Committee, is passed in the
near future, the District will lose a
beautiful natural park that never can
be duplicated.
The Commissioners ask that the ac-
quisiriOn OF the land be considered in
connection with the bill Tor the i'm
prUTement of Lovers lane, between
Massa Chusetts avenue and X street. II
these bills pass. a beautiful connection
will be obtained between Georgetown
and intermediate points and Rock
Greek Park.
In the knngle Ford Valley bill it is
proposed 10 buy 2GS acres on both sides
OF Connecticut avenue extended along
Klingle road from Woodtey road TO
Rock Creek Park. One-fOurth OF the
cost of this Is TO be assessed against
adjoining property.
The bill for the Improvement OF Low
ers lane provides for the acquisition or
about l6U,VtU square feet a an estimated
cost of 81, 800 the total cost to be as
sessed as benefits.

praisement of the poet-who of all men
should have large and weighty soul:
My thoughts are as light as the ether;
My soul weighs scarcely dram;
II you'll love me, love, III love YOU
II you don't don't care enough to cry
about 1t"
Now a dram is considerably less than
half an ounce, whether in avoirdupois
or apothecary's weight, and men OF ex-
perience with the world think a dram
or SO as the weight of the average soul
is liberal estimate. The doctors lines
must have fallen in such pleasant places
that he has never had to ask small
favor of some man who has repeatedly
offered to die for Him; he has never
whooped it up throughout a heated
campaign for some slant-eyed dema-
gogue, whose heart grieved, until after
the polls closed, because he couldn't
bring about the millenium; he has never
looked deeply into the inner life OF some
of the elders and deacons who weep
into the hymn book, Singing anthems OF
humility-hoping that the meek shall
inherit the earth; he has, in short,
never run up against many of the rude
realities which show the sham and the
shallowness which walk the earth in
the guise of SNUG respectability. -.
Perhaps it is physically possible to
weigh the soul. We will not even deny
that the Haverhill doctor has done so:
But the subjects on whom he expert
mented must have been, by a rare COM
bination of circumstances, the few
choice and radiant spirits whose great
ness of soul was far beyond the aver
age.

HEN IN BILLION
DOLLAR CLASS.

The great American hen has at last
climbed into the billion dollar class
According to the catalogue of reliable
incubator concern such is estimated to
be the value for 1911 of poultry and
poultry products in the United States.
This fact is not only gratifying in
itself, but it is still more important
that the rate of increase has been go
ing on more rapidly during the latter
half of the period which began with the
century than during the first half. 1t
seemed like large figure when We were
told in 1900 that the value of poultry
and eggs amounted to $3.50, 900, 900.
1t tickIed our vanity and contri-
buted to our contentment still fur
ther when the Secretary of Agriculture
said five years later that the humble
hen was producing half a billion dol
lars worth of comestibles and was COM
peting with the wheat crop for prece-
dence. In 1908 the same authority told
us that the poultry and egg products
of the United States had reached $780,
100000 and was second only to the
corn crop III value.
= In general terms the increase during
the past five years has been so per cent
more rapid than during the first five
or six years of the century, and, as has
been stated, the total value has now
reached the round sum of billion dol
lars.
The raising of poultry has become
distinct science, which is engaging a
large number Of intelligent people every
year, and the wisdom of going about
the matter scientifically is abundantly
demonstrated by the results.

Lord will please step forward he win
find $4,000 coming to him from the e.
tate of his uncle, Edwin Lord, Wall
street capitalist, who was scalded NOR
tally March II in his bath at the Re-
publican Club.
But Anson Lord apparently does not
mean to step forward. None of his rela-
tives has seen him for almost a score OF
years. and none even knows where he Is.

upon Bowers & Sands, attorneys, of 81

was an intimate personal friend of J. P.
Morgan, John ". Gates, and Thomas c.
Platt, though he may not have been
deep in their financial deals.
On March II he went into his bath
room in the Republican Club, where he
lived. and turned on the hot water. The
hot steam oveTcame him and he tunn-
bled into the tub. Helpless, he could
not work his way out to the floor. He
was unconscious when found and died
two days afterward.
Bowers & Sands at once searched
for the will. Lord had left $S50,00O0, most
of it in stocks and bonds, in a box at
the Madison Safe Deposit Company.
But the will was not there. 1t was not
found, though the search was long and
thorough.
Lords two sisters obtained letters Of
administra ton. They are Mrs. Annie
c. Sawyer, of WIscasset, Me-, and Mrs.
Susan A. Raitt, of Eliot, Me. Then
lawyers began to round up the heirs.

sons of Oliver Lord, who died in Sacra-
mento, Cal, in 1856, were entitled to
one-siXteenth each.
Leslie NJ. Lord was found in Los An
geles, Cal, but nothing could be learned
of Anson.
1t was reported to Bowers & Sands
that the missing Lord had been seen
in Nashua, ". II. The report was not
verified, but the lawyers believe he is.
