PRESENTATION AT COURT.
This Is Coronation Year, and Royalty
Is Wary of Americans Seeking

Owing to the overwhelming num-
Der of Americans demanding pre-
sentation in London, Berlin, Vienna
st. Petersburg and Rome, the courts
Of these capitals have found it ne
cessary to impose certain restrictions.
II has been ruled that no Americans
can be presented save by their am
Dassador or ambassadors, who is per-
sonaliy responsible for their social
standing and respectability. Then,
too, the embassies are limited to
twenty presentations of women a
year and to similar number of men.
1t has been impressed upon the
American embassies in these five cap
itals that the prescribed number must
not be exceeded. On one occasion,
after the list for presentations at a
certain court had already been filled,
premptory orders arrived from Wash
ington that two new arrivals should
be permitted to make their curtsy
at the next royal drawing-room. In
order to carry out his orders, the
ambassador had to remove two
names to make way for the new
comers, although the women thus
forced to give place had gone speci-
ally to Europe in order to be present.

Colonel Lemert Tells How Warning TO
Late Ohio Senator Was
Breath Wasted.

"a visit to Washington always re-
calls the good old days when my
friend Senator Calvin S. Brice was
here" said Colonel Lemert of Ohio.
"Ohio never fully appreciated the
worth of Brice until he was gone, and
those who knew the real man person
ally never tire of telling about his ca
reer. Long before his election to the
senate he came to my town of Buoy

then he was beginning to indicate
what was in him. After our consulta-
ton he insisted on meeting with IA

a rather high-class gambling place. /

a gentlemen's poker game. Brice had

of these citizens, and he had curl

of recreation. l begged him almost
with tears in my eyes not to risk his
money with such experts, but he
smiled. Then / explained that would
have a supply of funds for him whe-l
he was ready to leave town, as / felt
sure these local sports would trim

looked up into his face, and now he

her eyes.

to her eyes.

She was silent for what seemed to
him a long while; then she looked UP
into his face, clinging to his arm.

That same afternoon, the sun low
in the west, they placed the dead boy
in his shallow grave on Boots Hill. !"
It was strange funeral, in a strange
environment-all about the barren, de-
serted plains; far away to the east
and west, the darker line marking the
railroad grade, and just below, nestled
close in against the foot of the hill,
the squalid town of tents and shacks.
There were not many to stand beside
the open grave, for few in Sheridan
knew the lad, and funerals were not

and maudlin, awed somewhat by the

More than one-third Of the area OF
the United States has been surveyed
and mapped by topographers of the
United States geological survey in
connection with the preparation of a
detailed topographic atlas of the coun-
try.
The maps represent areas called
quadrangles, and show by a system of
contour lines all topographic features,
giving elevations as determined by
the surveys spirit level work. The
quadrangles are areas limited by par
allels of latitude and meridians OF
longitude, and differ in size with the
latitude Of the areas and with the
scales of the maps.
Topographic work has been com
pleted in Connecticut. Massachusetts,

Hickock and Fairbain assisted in this
effort to learn the whereabouts of the
dead boys father. but without the
slightest result, nor did Keiths inves-
legations reveal the gambler at any of
| his accustomed resorts, while Scott
had apparently made a complete get

served to convince him as to the truth
of his first suspicious; Scott might
have departed for good, but Hawley
would certainly reappear just as soon
as assured his name had not been
mentioned in connection with the
| tragedy. To Neb alone did the plains
man candidly conf1de his belief in the
guilt of these two, and when other
duties called him elsewhere, he left
the negro securing the town for any
possible temperance of either.
| Heavy-eyed from lack of sleep,
heavy-hearted with his message, yet
fully decided as to what advice he
should offer. Keith returned to the
hotel, and requested an interview with
Hope Although still comparatively
early, some premonition of evil had
awakened the girl, and in very few
moments she was prepared to receive
her visitor. A questioning glance into
his face was sufficient to assure her of
unpleasant news. but, with one quick
breath. she grasped his arm as though
his very presence afforded her

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS "A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SEVERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects of this were
| felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and so bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to % and 80 BUSH
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered,
In face of these conditions, it is found
| that during the months of September
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total of 1872 million dollars,
| the average price for this wheat be-
! ing 97$4 cents; that below contract
| for the two months was little over
| Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S91a cents per bushel
realized little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of 80 million bushels, which realized
a total of little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
! and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. a bushel The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts per bushel This would make the
cost of production and freight GO cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat OF
171a cts. and for his highs grade wheat
of 1917 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
| va1uo 0f 1Ow-prade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level.
