ued since that time.
OF the sugar brought from other
countries, nearly all is made from
cane. While about half of the
worlds sugar is made from beets,
most of it is produced in Europe and
consumed in the country of product
ion or in other parts Of that grand
division, while most Of the world out
side of Europe obtains its sugar sup.
ply from cane, grown, Of course, in
the tropical and subtropical sections.
OF the cane sugar which we consume
most of that coming from foreign
countries is drawn from Cuba, the
Dutch East Indies, and smaller a.
mounts from the West Indies, Next
CO, Central and South America.
All that coming from our own Is
lands-Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the
Phillippines-is came sugar, while OF
the domestic product about 40 per
cent. is produced from cane. The
beet sugar of the United States Is
grown chiefly in Colorado, California
and Michigan, and some in Utah, Id
aho, and Wisconsin,; while most OF
the cane sugar is produced in Louis
lana. with smaller quanaities in Tex
as. Florida, Georgia, and South Caro-
lima.
The sugar "habit'' is evidently a
growing one with the people OF the
United States and probably with
those OF other countries, since the
total world production Of sugar, in
GLIDING all countries of which stats
tics are available, has increased SO
Der cent in the last decade and has
about doubled in Is years. In our
OWN case the consumption has shown
a rapid growth; the per capita con
sumption having been, in 1880, AZ
pounds; in 1890, 81 pounds; In 1900
SO pounds; and in 1910, approximate
ly S11a pounds.
What is the cost of this enormous
quantity of sugar consumed In the
United States? This Is more diff
cult to answer. The valuation o
that brought in from foreign count
ries and our islands is set down a
about IT'S million dollars in 1910, ant
the stated value OF that produced II
the United States, at approximate.
Is million dollars; though this com
paratively high figure when consid
cred by the price per pound, is du
to the fact that the valuation Is bas
ed upon the refined article, Will
that of the sugar from abroad is tn
value of the unrefined article In tn
country of production. II. however
we accept the general average OF
cents per pound as the retail pric
paid by our people for the lib bi
lion pounds of sugar consumed b
them In 1910, we should get "a tots
of 1856, 100000, or an average of al
proximately $1,0O0,OOO day for suf
! ar by the people of the Unite
States.

AN EDITORS EXPERIENCE.

The Editor of the Hardeman,
Tennessee, Free Press tells of an
interesting experience: 1--WE
fell asleep in a chair at Grand
Junction last Wednesday night
op our way home from Memphis
in our usual soaked condition
and let our train leave us. The
clerk told us to go up stairs and
take the room at the right side
of the hall with the lamp burn
ing low. He was crowded and
that we would have to double
up with a man. We went up
and pulled off our things and
went to bed without waking our
bedfellow. who was sleeping
sound with the sheet over his
head to keep off the muskeetel s.
Before we fell into the hands of
morphine we saw a young lady
and a young gentleman come in
and set down by the window.
At first they talked so low we
could not hear what they said.
Finally we heard the little miss
say: Willie, amt you asham-
ed to try to kiss me right here
where we are sitting up with a
dead personl' We felt curious.
We slowly reached over and
touched the man who we was
in bed with on the II II d
seen at a glance that he was
dead all right. We riz up in
stantly and it was race to fin
ish twlt us three for the bottom
of the steps. 1t is needless to
say that we was the fust to pass
the post by two lengths. We
didn't skeer that couple any
wusser than that corpse skeered
us. We walked through the
county to Bolivar and wired for
our clothes by express.

The Fellow That Did Not
Come to Make a flo ne.

Farewell to my homestead shanty,
I've made my final proofs
The cattle will hook down the walls
And some one will steal off the roof,
Farewell to my sheet iron stove,
1t stands in the corner all cold;
The good thipgs I've cooked in its oven
In language can never be told.
Farewell to my nice little table,
Where under I've oft put my feet;
And chose for the bounty of good things
The substantial's of life for to eat.
Farewell to my cracker box cupboard,
With gunnysack for a door,
Farewell to my store of good things
That never shall want any more.
Farewell to my down holStered chair,
With its bottom all sagged to the ground
Farewell to socks, shirts and breeches
That filled it agair to the round.
Farewell to my little pine bedstead,
lis or thee We Slumbered and SLEPT
Farewell to the dreams I've dreampt,
While the centipedes over me crept.
Farewell to my tea and my crackers,
Farewell to my water and soap;
Farewell to my sorghum and buckwheat,
Farewell to my La Lakadope.
Farewell to my sour dough pancakes,
That none but myself could endure,
If they did taste good to stranger
They were sure the dyspeptic to cure
Farewell to my entire homestead,
Farewell to your hills aud your sand;
I've covered you up with a mortgage,
Farewell to my quarter of land
