SCHEME AGENTS Barred
Distances In the Residence Suburbs
Are Double What Realty Men
Give Them.

II have often wondered how the ta-
bles Of distances In the far. far sub
urbs of New York were obtained" a
seeker after a suburban home said. 81
mean those distances which seem so
short when mentioned in an offhand
manner or when expressed in time,
but which are 80 long when put to
practical test. The puzzle was not
solved by my last experience in this
line; It was rather made more COM
plex.
II went to look last Sunday at some
lots which we're said to lie along the
line of one OF the suburban railroads.
The agent who accompanied me said
that the site was not more than q
mile from the station When we
reached the station a motor car was
waiting to take us out to the place
Now, you know how quickly and
easily mile slips past one Of those
big cars. Well, noticed a speedom-
eter on the car and instead of climb
ing into the tonneau with the agent
got in beside the chauffeur and kept
my eye on the dial The car went
out to those lots at the rate Of 20
miles an hour, and 1t took six minutes
to make the trip. That would make
the distance from the station about
two miles, or twice what the agent
said 1t was.
"He couldn't explain the inconsis-
tency when asked about 1t, and so I
am just as far from solving the where
fore OF suburban distances now as
re."-New York Sun.

time in bed.

How to Stop Swearinu,

When Sir Richard Hawkins ship.
the Dainty, was off the Guinea coast
1t caught fire and had a narrow es-
cape from destruction. The sequel, as
told by John Barnett in Fighting
Admirals," was curious: THE men
thanked God for their deliverance and
as a mark of gratitude took occasion
to Danish swearing from the little
feet. By general consent it was or
dained that a palmer, or ferrule,
should be carried by any one who was
taken with an oath and that he
should give the next who swore a
stroke with 1t. At the end of the day
he who had the ferrule received three
strokes from the captain or the mas
ter. Within three days there was no
more swearing aboard the ships"

CROP CONDITIONS ARE
 BRIGHT OVER ALABAMA

Montgomery, May 26.-(Special.)- The state agricultural and industrial department declares that the weather which has obtained during the past two or three weeks has been most favora ble for crop conditions. While the farm CTS throughout the state were rather late in planting their cotton owing to the rains and cold wea ather, it Is not believed that there will be any depre- ciation in the crops this year over last year and many of the planters through out the state are said to be looking foi large increase.
 | The fruit crop this year will not b. up to the average, as about 75 pc cent of the fruit was killed early il | the spring by the unusual cold weath CT. What fruit remains. however, is said to be better than it has been ir years.
 Vegetables and berries are declared by the agricultural department to be plentiful, and the corn crop Is expected to exceed that of last year.
