TRIUMPH FOR WRITER
FLASH OF THOUGHT SAVED THE
SITUATION.
Frederick Upham Adams Turned Joke
on o. H. P. Belmont, Being Helped
Somewhat by His Experience
as a Novelist.

Table sagacity is not invariably con-
fined to picking out the right fork or
spoon or to fitting either at the prop
er angle, writes Drury Underwood in
the Chicago Post. A fedgling diner
out, theoretically, may keep up a con-
versation with his designated compan-
ion and also an eager eye on a model
across the way. A merely casual hest
fancy will allow him to stall until he
sees what weapon to choose for the
fish. {.
The chances for the majority Of us
to decide what to do in an emergency,
are remote, but are to be considered.
Place yourself in the situation of Fred
erick Upham Adams at Newport.
Mr.. Adams had accepted an invi-
tation from the o. H. P. Belmonts-
the male one, to be exact-and after
a Scotch overture luncheon was an
nounced.
Grizzly" said o. H. p, Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish is to lunch with us, but
that need not make any difference"
Certainly not" said Griz. Nobody
can make me unhappy"
The meal proceeded smoothly, with
the assistance Of an assortment Of
buffers and a waiter for each person,
but there was a crisis ahead.
The doors of the serving room flew
open and a lunky came in, staggering
under an imposing dish. It was a cas-
tie constructed of meats. with a wall
OF jelly and a moat of rice. There
We're parapets and towers and a port
cuilis; likewise a porte cochere, but
this probably was a gastronomic ana
chronism.
Mr.. Adams never batted an eye, be-
cause, being a novelist, he had to be
familiar with such scenes for a proper
standing in fiction. He had a tricky
host to deal with, however, for O. H. P
indicated by a glance that the open
spot in front Of Mr.. Adams plate was
to be the terminal for the pie.
Grizzly looked in vain for the sign
OF a mistake. Instead there was con
firmation In the stony eyes Of o. H.
T. There was nothing for him to do
but to proceed. He recalled 'Ivanhoe''
and the carrying Of the castle by as
sault, but In brief reflection saw that
the dismantling Of the wall would be
to undo the work of some chef, who,
IN all likelihood. had put In two or
three days on the Job. So he Olsen.

ing down the structure and removed
a chicken tower flying a flag of carved
radish.
Then o. H. P. relaxed and gave a
momentary CLEAN of approval.
Tt was the quickest thought of my
life" said Mr.. Adams in review Of the
incident as he ordered pork shanks.

Partners and Employees Of New York
=. Real Estate Firm Have Joined
Ranks Of Believers.

Never say there is no luck in a
black cat. For months a ~well-known
real estate firm in the Fifth venue
region had been doing just a rent
paying business. Then, one day, a
gaunt, rib-showing, detected black cat
paused on the threshold and licked his
chops, and looked in.

Catch smeIts by the Wagonioad.
A great run of smelt is now going
up the Sandy river, the first one in
about eight years. The little fish are
to be seen in a solid column coming
from the Columbia river.
Hundreds of persons. attracted by
the sight, are catching the smelt in
dip nets and buckets and hauling them
away by the wagonload. Farmers are
coming in by the score every day from
every direction and from long dis
tances to get a supply of fish for pick
ling and smoking.
The run probably will last for sew
eral days, and then the season for the
smelt will close until next winter

"A d. ~ forces won a second
victory at the convention yester-
day afternoon. A motion was
made to unseat 80 Taft delegates
and replace them with Roosevelt
delegates. a motion to lay this
motion on the table was carried by
the Taft followers by a vote of 564
to $40. This had the effect Of
transferring the consideration of
contests to the credentials COM
mittee. When this committee,
which is composed of one commit
teeman from each state, met and
it was discovered that the commit.
tee stood 80 to 10 in favor of Taft,
the Roosevelt members bolted, de-.
claring that they were acting under
the instructions of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt has advised his fol-
lowers, in case they r not able to
control the convention, to organize
another convention, and predicts
that he will be able to take with
him in a new organization a ma
%jority of the republicans outside of
the extreme eastern states and in
crease his strength by substantial
accessions from the democratic
party. Either the ex president is
a superb buffer or else he is pos

SAY FARMS MUST BE RUN
AS MANUFACTURING PLANTS
Investigators Hold Need Production
Efficiency Requires Adoption Of Methods
Of Farm Management. Accounting
Scientific Crop Rotation.

New York, Nov. 25.-That the
farmers of this country must eventually
become operators of manufacturing
plants, and must handle their lands with
methods of business-like efficiency equal
to those of the up-to- date factory if
this country is to continue sufficient
production Of foodstuffs, Is the con-
clusion reached by experts in their
analysis of crop figures for this year.
In spite of the great yields of many
crops it is being pointed out here as a
result of careful study of the condi-
tions under which they were secured
that in the matter of efficiency in
securing results from the land our farm
ers are so far behind those of Europe
as to make the immediate application of
efficiency methods such as are in use in
the most successful manufacturing plants
of vital necessity.
In Germany the valuable results of
conducting farms on system that turns
them practically into agricultural fac
tories has been fully demonstrated. In
consequence Of the consistent application
of this plan over a period of many years,
the acreage yields Of nearly all crops in
Germany are double those Of this coun-
