THIS IS MY 58th BIRTHDAY.
Sir Joseph Pope.


Sir Joseph Pope, under secretary
for external affairs of Canada, was
born in Charlottetown, P. 3. l., Aug
ust is, 1854. His education was re-
ceived at Prince of Wales College,
Charlottetown. After being engaged
in the banking business for eight
years he entered the civil service of
Canada in 1878. For ten years he
was private secretary to Sir John
Macdonald and in later years wrote
a biography of that statesman. He
was appointed under secretary of
state in 1896 and when the state de-
partment was divided some years la
ter and department of external af-
fairs was created he became under
secretary of the new department. Sir
Joseph was attached to the staff of
the British agent on the Behring Sea
arbitration at Paris in 1898. Later
he was one of the representative of
the Canadian government at the pro-
ceedings of the Joint High Commits
sion which met in Quebec and Wash
ington in 189S-90, and was associate
secretary to the Alaskan Boundary
Tribunal in 1908. .'st-

The Double Veto.

The action of President Taft in
twice vetoing bill in which were
offensive riders must meet with the
commendation Of every man who
takes any interest whatever in ma
tional affairs. -. s.E .s.. -.
One of the most vicious practices
which exists in congress today is the
attaching of riders to appropriation
bills. Knowing that the money is
needed and hoping that the president
will be afraid to veto on that ac-
count, members of congress have
formed habit of attaching in rid
ers legislative matter that could nev-
er hope to pass on it's own merits.
Such rider was the one which
would have legislated General Wood,
chief of staff of the army, out of Of
fee; another was one which provided
that civil service clerks be re-exam-
ined every five years; these last rid
ers provided for seven year examin-
alton term and the adjustment of the
United States Commerce court. =
President Taft did the proper thing
when he vetoed the bill. There
should be some provision whereby
the president could veto items with
out killing the entire appropriation
bill.

Following is the press story of a
baseball game as clipped from twin
city paper: -
/ St. Paul, Mimi, July 13.-Bill
Friels Columbus crew captured the
first game from Kelley's slipping
Saints this afternoon by score of
to 2. George Dauss worked for the
Saints and hurled neat article OF
ball. Two singles mixed in with a
brace of boots in the seventh inning
lost him the game. ........-..
Murray started the game behind
the bat, but became engaged in a
wordy war with Umpire Ferguson,
and was banished. After removing
his mask, protector and other armor,
Murray advanced upon Ferguson in
threatening manner. Ferguson
then .motioned him from the park.
"Gabby" Gardner broke into the 60
ing with some speech-making from
the hut, and was also told to hit the
showers. In the seventh inning La
roy clustered to Handiboe on a de-
cision made at second and was also
sent to join the other two.
Translated for the benefit of the
lady readers of the Pioneer, it is as
follows: =.
St. Paul, July 13-Mr. VIM. Friel,
manager of the Columbus baseball
team, and his men won the. first game
from Mr.. Mike Kelley's St. Paul team
this afternoon by score of to 2.
Mr.. George .Dauss pitched for St.
Paul and pitched good ball all during
the game. Two men hit the ball and
reached first base during the seventh
inning and these two were able to
run to home plate and score when
the St. Paul fielders were too slow in
catching balls hit their way. These
two runs won the game for Colum-
bus. ..z -. .,
Mr.. Murray caught for St. Paul
made by Umpire Ferguson and pro-
tested with vigor and emphasis,
equal parts. Mr.. Ferguson told him
he need play the game no longer and
should sit on the players bench until
time to go home. s-..r a... - >
Mr.. Murray. did not like the at
titude assumed by Mr.. Ferguson so
took off his face mask, chest protec-
tor and other pads used to protect
parts Of his body from being hit by
the ball, and started toward Mr.. Fer
guson In a menacing attitude Mr..
Ferguson then told him that he need
not sit on the bench but should leave
the. park, considering this a worse
punishment since he would be unable
to witness the rest of the game.
"Gabby'' Gardner, who was sitting
in the hut in which the players stay
while not on the field, felt that Mr..
Ferguson had been unjust and told
him so. Whereupon Mr.. Ferguson
told Mr.. Gardner that his services
were no longer needed and that he
might just as well take, .his daily
shower bath in the dressing rooms
and go back to the hotel. IS
In the seventh inning Mr.. Laroy
was not satisfied with a decision at
second made by Mr.. Ferguson and
took Mr.. Ferguson to task for his In
efficiency. Mr.. Laroy was sent out Of
the park to join his two team mates
in the dressing room and the game
proceeded.

DIGGING FOR A METEOR.
Ono Worth Billions Of Dollars BeIiev-
ed to be in Arizona.

cd TO De IN Arizona.
Several years ago syndicate Of
mining men began sinking shaft in
in the world, believed to be no less
than half a mile thick. This shaft is
now 1000 feet deep. Three or four
hundred feet more, 1t is expected, will
reveal the great prize.
The scene Of this most wonderful
mining operation is Meteor Mountain,
Ariz. The mountain Is such in name,
only, as it is little more than butte,
rising 200 or 300 feet above the desert,
about ten miles from Canyon Diabolo
station, on the Sante Fe railroad.
Viewed from distance Meteor
Mountain looks little different from
the countless other buttes that rear
their heads above the southwestern
desert. But as soon as one begins to
climb its sides, strewn with meteoric
fragments, he realizes that he is on the
threshold Of one Of the worlds great
est scientific mysteries.
From the top Of the mountain" one
gazes into a bowl-like depression in
the earth 900 feet deep and a mile
across. 1t is in appearance like a vol
canic crater.
Scientists agree that this crater
marks the place where a giant met
eorite. as large as the circumference Of
the bowl would indicate, struck the
earth In ages past, perhaps a million Of
years ago, and buried itself deep into
the bowels of the earth-just how deep
1t Is the purpose of the mining syndi-
cate to find out.
When this giant mass struck the
earth there was no butte there: the
butte was created when the meteorite
struck, its tremendous weight displac-
ing strata Of rock, sending huge clouds
of dust into the air and forming the
mountain" as 1t exists today.
After the meteorite sank into the
earth the sand and dust settled into
the depression. The drift of ages sift-
ed over the edges Of the huge bowl and
assisted in the work of covering the
meteorite.
But the most remarkable thing about
this meteorite, apart from its prodigi-
GUS size, is the fact that In all prob
ability it consists of one huge diamond!
This Is inferred from the fact that
numerous large fragments Of the me-
teorite found in the crater, and which
are unusually heavy, were found, upon
investigation, to contain, besides me-
teoric iron, large, hard black diamonds
Of great value.
Even If the meteor itself consists
only Of black diamonds it's value would
be quite inconceivable, for good black
diamond, though worthless as a gem,
is worth even more than a white one
for mechanical purposes. 1t Is quite
probable, however, that the bulk Of
the meteor consists Of white diamond,
in which event there would not be
enough money In the world to pay for
it at the current price Of the precious
stone.
The largest diamonds in the world
including the Koh-i-noor, the Cullinan,
the Great Mogul Of Russia, the Orion,
the Great Premier diamond, the Tiffany
diamond, the Etolie Polaire, and doz-
en- others of the same standard, worth
in the aggregate hundreds Of millions
of dollars, might all be placed together
in an ordinary derby hat and not reach
the top. This meteoric diamond, scien-
lists believe, must be at least half a
mile thick! .-ss

Canny Grocer-The canny grocer
sized up his customer:
She had ordered six strictly fresh
eggs.
He took down the paper bag and
going to the basket picked them out
Twisting the top Of the bag togeth-
er he handed it to the woman, who
paid him and went away.
The canny grocer smiled. He had
given the woman seven eggs when she
ordered but six.
He knew that when she reached
home and found that she had seven in
stead of six eggs she would be so de-
lighted with the supposition that she
had overreached him that she would
entirely disregard the fact that six OF
the eggs were storage and one was du-
bious!
For the grocer understood human
nature. And he was canny.-Plain

Food to Aveid.-Digestibillty is often
confused with another very different
thing, namely, the agreeing or disagree
ing of food with the person who eats
it. During the process Of digestion and
assimilation the food, as we have seen
undergoes many chemical changes
some Of them in the intestines, some
in the liver, muscles and other organs
In these changes chemical COM
pounds may be formed which are In
one way or another unpleasant and in
furious, especially If they are not bro
ken down Gas normally they are) be-
fore they have opportunity thus to act
Some Of the compounds produced from
the food in the body may be actually
poisonous.
Different persons are differently con-
stituted with respect to the chemical
changes which their food undergoes
and the effect produced, 80 that 1t may
be literally true that "one mans meat
is another mans poison"
Milk Is for most people very whole
some, digestible and nutritious food
but there are persons who are made III
by drinking it, and they should avoid
milk. The writer knows boy who is
made seriously Ill by eating eggs. A
small piece Of sweet cake in which
eggs have been used will cause him
serious trouble. The sickness Is ma
ture's evidence that eggs are for him
an unfit article Of food.
Some persons have to avoid straw
berries. Indeed cases in which the
most wholesome kinds Of food are
hurtful to individual persons, are, un-
fortunately, numerous.
Every man must learn from his own
experience what food agrees with him
and what does not.
How much harm is done by the in
furious compounds sometimes formed
from ordinary wholesome foods is sell
dom realized.
Physiological chemistry is revealing
the fact that these compounds may
affect even the brains and nerves, and
that some forms Of insanity are caus-

his ownership. Millions Of acres are
available for negroes and whites, men
of all kinds and races. In the struggle
for existence social and religious prin-
ciples must take a back seat.
Long Leases.
Since 1t Is impossible to solve the
problem of rural economies Of the
south in a year or a decade, the next
best thing would be the long time, or
continuous, leases. In this way the
farm operator will become interested in
the farm; will cultivate it better, keep
up the fertility, improve the buildings,
become interested in the country road
and will take an interest in the coun-
try church and lodgeroom. He may
even become a member of local clubs
organized for economic purposes, may
own stock In bank, creamery, ware
house or other cooperative utility. In
this manner he becomes a part Of the
community. After farming the same
land for several years the tenant is
more apt to want it, and having saved
money by not moving, will have money
for part Of the purchase price.
Hired Labor System.
The speaker contended that hired
labor is preferable to shifting tenant
system; better for the landlord, better
for the tenant, and better for society
as whole. The landlord could then
supervise the work more than at pres
ent, could introduce better methods
and take better care of his land. The
landowners would thus get more in
come, while at the same time the ten
ants would in this way learn better
methods Of farming, and could, through
frugallty and foresight, become owners
more quickly than through tenacy that
is ever shifting. To the world as a
whole would be guaranteed larger and
more systematic production. Farm la
Dor would be better educated and the
country freed from the shifting and
changing which is now prevalent.
To the serious student Of rural con-
ditions the question of the shifting ten
ant is the foremost problem Of the ru-
raj south, If he wishes to go into 1t in
detail, DR.. Coulter promises to send
him such data, copies Of leases and
contracts covering the sale Of lands, as
he may need in his investigation and
attempted solution Of the problem.
