When It is shipped from Minnesota,
Iowa, and Wisconsin, a Jet black, gelat-
inous mass OF tiny globules, the pail or
bags in which it is packed are labeled
sturgeon roe" BY the time the product
has reached its destination and is grac-
ing a platter in a New York, London, OF
Paris restaurant 1t has become Russian
caviar"
The deception is an innocent one. since
the roe of the Mississippi sturgeon has
been found TO be quite equal in delicacy
and flavor to that obtained from the
sturgeon of the Don and Dnieper oi
Russia. The Mississippi product being
new on the market, however. sells bet
ter under the old familiar name.
For many years Russian fishermen
have made millions Of dollars annually
gathering and preparing caviar. The
sturgeon lives in the northern stretches
Of the Mississippi in enormous numbers,
but It was not until two years ago that
fishermen, seizlng the cue Of their North

They have found II immensely profit

CORN
By GEORGE FITCH,
AutAer of "At Good ola siwH'A."

Corn Is called king In a good many
States, but this Is saying q great deal
TOO much for the king business. Kings
are all right in their way, but no king
has kept S0.oO0Oo0 people fat and happy
BY his own unaided efforts, or has stuck
10 his Job for twenty-four hours q day
through q long, hot summer. When a
king dies his subjects drop q respectful
tear, and then send for the undsrtaker's >
wagon and q goldsmith to cut down the
crown to ft the next king. But when
corn turns yellow and black and gray
and expires before the harvest, half 4
great nation mourns for a whole year
and refuses 10 buy new clothes, and cuts
on its subscription to the local news
papers and votes against the administra-
ton with great firmness and bilious
ness.
Corn Is raised as a food by millions
Of farmers, but Is not absorbed directly
by the American people in any great
quantities. II Is used largely TO uphol-
ster hogs and cattle. A small red pig, II
allowed to eat q CRIB Of corn. will pro-
duce enough ham and breakfast bacon to
keep q family fat and financially busted
for three months, and q thin COW with a
backbone like the ridge pole Of caths-
dral can so disguise herself by eating
corn for a few months that the packer
will mistake her for a silver mine and
sell her for 20 cents pound
Corn is planted In the spring, and
grows up Ike q small boy In a new suit
Of clothes. BY July It Is five feet high,
and going up faster than an English ele-
vator, and by September each stalk Is
young nag pole, with four-foot leaves
aving from It like banners. Rival States
love to impress each other with the
height OF their cornstalks, but Illinois
holds the record. A central Illinois farm
er once tied his horse to a cornstaIk on
hot July day, and when he came
back he had to chase the horse up the

FIRST AMERICAN FLAG.
Hull House Children Tell How
Betsy Ross Came to Make 1t.

Betsy Ross Came to Make II.
From the Cincinnati Timss-star.
Here IS a story that has come through
from Chicago's Hull House. Miss
Adams suggested to the children OF
Hull House that they write a play with
out the aid Of the grown ups. She gave
them suggestions as to the necessity for
climax at the close Of each act-a
climax which would carry on the in
terest They decided to write a play
about The First American Flag" The
first-act curtain went down on a group
scene showing George Washington sur
rounded by his generals.
''Geei" aid Gen. George Washing
ton, to his chiefs OF stan, amt It fierce
that we amt got no fag?'
''YE, George, 1t is fercei' they mur-
muir sympathetically.
The curtain Of the second act drops
over a tableaU In the camp at Valley
Forge. Gen. George Washington Is
discovered leaning on his sword in front
Of his tent, while a chill wind shakes
its canvas. The faithful generals are
also there, leaning on their swords.
"Gee"' said Gen. Washington. This
Is fierce. We amt got no flag yet"
That's right, George" his aides re-
sponded. TT sure is fierce that We amt
got no hag."
The third act curtain upon rising dis
closes a domestic scene. Gen. George
Washington, sword at side, is seated in
a rocking chair in the home Of Betsy
Ross. Betsy is rocking to and fro on
the other side Of the stage, baby In
her arms.
Gee! Mrs. Ross" said Gen. George
Washington, "aint it fierce? We amt
got no flag
That's right" said Betsy Ross, softly,
'it Is fierce" Then rising and crossing
the stage toward Gen. Washington, she
adds:
''Pu tell you. George. III make q nag

GOSSIP ON PRIVATE LIFE OF
SOME OF ENGLAND'S KINGS

Douglas, bent. as so many were then,
TO curry favor with the prince by SIAN
dering his discarded wife, declared pub
hcly that the princess had confessed to
her that William Austin was her own
child. She made this report with so
much plausible circumstances that even
the old Kings faith at last was shaken
and commission was appointed 10
make a delicate investigation and to de-
eide upon her guilt or innocence.
They had the princess servants before
them They questioned Sarah Austin,
who claimed to be the boys mother,
and obtained such evidence connected
with Williams birth that they COM
pletely exonerated the princess. Never
theless, she lived under a cloud the rest
OF her days.
When she went travelling on the CONT
nent It was reported that she was living
shamefully with her courier. and on the
death Of George III, when her husband
came to the throne, she was offered q
large income II she would remain perma-
nently abroad She was so weary OF the
strife that she might have consented to
this, but hearing that the new king had
commanded that her name should not be
included in the lithurgy. her dignity was
deeply wounded. and she returned TO Eng

her right as a queen.
The King declined to see her, refused to
allow her to be crowned with him, and
when she and her attendants went to
the Abbey on Coronation Day they were
all turned away from the doors. Her hus-
bands spies had followed her all over the
Continent and with tainted evidence, were
ready now to prove that she had been
| living an abandoned and squalidly inIqui-
| tous life in Italy. But though the House
OF Lords was packed with subseTYient
toadies OF the King, the witnesses against
| her broke down so badly under cross
| examination that the bill for the divorce
passed only by such a small margin that
Il was dropped discreetly and never sent
to the House OF Commons. Through II
all the decent section among the aristoc-
racy and the whole Of the middle and
lower classes had warmly supported the
| injured Queen, cheering her carriage, and
kissing the Kings, as they passed through
| the streets Of London.
But Caroline was breaking down under
\ the strain. Less than a year after her tri-
umph in the House OF Lords, she was
taken i'll and died. After her death the
| scandalmongers once more got busy, when
| IL became known that she had appointed
William Austin her resIduary legatee.
Was she guilty after all, or was she mere
| ly too careless Of appearances and peril
ously indiscreet? Most Of her contem-
| poraries pronounced her innocent. At
any rate, she suffered a great wrong at
the hands OF a drunken husband, a prohi-
for that reason alone is entitled to the
| sympathy Of all fair thinking persons.

Woolsack,s New Occupant.

The position of British Lord Chan
cellor is one Of the few in which cere-
monial and historic prominence is
united with the welding of great prae-
teal power. For centuries the keeper
of the Kings conscience" this official,
by series of development, has be-
come the head of the judicature and
president of one of the parliamentary
chambers with the additional important
duty of making larger number of ap-
.pointments to public positions than any
other Minister.
The ideal Lord Chancellor must COM
bine many excellent qualities. He must
be a wise judge, a good chairman, a
judicious and incorruptible selector of
persons for public positions of trust
and tact, and at the same time an i'm
.pressive champion of his party in the
House of Lords and in the eyes of the
nation. This combination of judicial,
administrative, and political qualities
has been attained by the different mod
ern chancellors with varying degree of
success, some of the ablest judges hav-
ing been the worst dispensers Of pa
tronage, and vice versa, while others,
even in recent times, have allowed po-
litical partisanship in their appointments
to reach the dimensions OF scandal.
In the long line Lord Loreburn, the
retiring Chancellor, will stand out as
one without reproach, moi perhaps in
the first rank of great law-molding
judges, not perhaps as a party chief, in
variably equal to the claims of his
party in its proper sphere, but a strong,
able, courageous, and absolutely honest
statesman. When making an appoint
ment he always acted the better the
more important the place to be filled.
In particular, his appointments of judges
for the High Court have been uni
formly excellent, and have done much
to recover for the Kings Bench the
public respect and prestige with the
legal profession which some of their
predecessors had gone far to forfeit.
Lord Haldane, who succeeds Lord
Loreburn as Lord Chancellor, is we'll
equipped for the post. As a chancery
barrister his great legal knowledge and
aeumen made him for years the most
sought-after advocate before the final
courts, and in the six and a half years
that he has spent at the War Office
he has had an experience in making
appointments and dealing with ques-
tons of patronage second only to that
which he will have now on the Wool
sack. With all the makings of a great
judge and administrator since he went
to the House of Lords, he has shown a
marked aptitude for representing his
party in that peculiar atmosphere His
broad mind and high intellect carry au-
thority, without respect of party, in
every quarter. He is younger now than
his predecessor was when he was made
Chancellor in 1905, and has a fair pros
pect of becoming one of the most emf
nent judges which Great Britain has
lever produced

An International weather Service

We read with great satisfaction that
the Radio-Telegraph Congress, now in
session at London, has accepted Prof
Willis L. Moore's plan for international
weather bureaus. His idea of sending
observations by wireless to Washington
from coastwise steamers already is in
operation, the chief value Of which is
a warning against the West Indian hur-
ricanes that harass our sesbosrd four
months in the year.
When discoursing recently upon the
feasibility of this plan and its unques-
toned value to our shipping, we inti-
mated in these columns that such a
coastwise service might possibly be sup
plemented later by a similar arrange
ment with the transatlantic lines. And
now it has come to pass sooner than
we anticipated, and our fellow-eitizen
has done ocean travel and shipping a
most telling and valuable service for all
time to come. All that remains now
is to have Congress indorse the plan.
And who will doubt its readiness to do
so most cheerfullyl
This is the idea as formulated in the
resolution submitted by Prof. Moore
A nautical line is to be established
across tie North Atlantic Vessels on
either side of it will be required to fur
nish daily weather observations, which
by wireless could be relayed by othes
vessels to shore stations of this or the
European continents. With these re-
ports as a basis a fairly correct ocean
weather chart could be furnished to
outgoing ships.
This may not exactly mean the mil
lennium in ocean travel. It may be say
ing even too much that it will at last
insure absolute safety to passengers, bun
what can be said emphatically is that
these deep sea weather bureaus will es-
tablish a surveillance of international
marine service, the potentialities Of
which can but place ocean travel be-
yond the power of ordinary mishaps
Add to this the proposed permanent
deEelict patrol, an ice patrol, and watch
fulness to prevent, the changing of the
lanes" from one course to another by
the Atlantic liners at the wrong time Of
the year and the sea journey millennium
is not far off.
