A Queer Monument.

A monument erected In the Stra-

history. 1t Is that Of an old woman Of
Genoa, who made a living by selling
strings of nuts In the streets. BY
frugality and industry she succeeded
in amassing a small fortune In this
way and then commissioned a well
known sculptor of Genoa, Luigi Oren-
go, to make a life sized portrait OF her
in marble just as she appeared at her
pitch In the streets. This statue she
ordered to be placed In the famous
Straglieno cemetery, probably the lar

According TO Van Haltren, IL was
Browning who introduced the habit Of
rubbing down a bat with tobacco juice,
which custom is followed to this day
by many of the players. The idea is
to roughen the surface Of the stick
and prevent so many fouls slipping off

Browning, who was a great user OF

TROLLEY AS FARM AID.
Michigan Electric Lrss Aided in Dis
posing OF Fruit.

The advantage of handling biz crops
of fruit hv the trolley lines was illus
trated in the lower peninsula OF Mich
igan In 1911 10 an extent never before
realized. Had it not been for the
electric lines Of two Of the states
handling this class OF traffic the dis
posal OF the apple, peach, pear and
other crol would have met with loss.
Only a couple OF years e there
was but one line Of electric railway
hauling fruit out of Berrien county
orchards TO the steamship docks at
Benton Harbor. Now there are about
half a dozen. Some OF the lines rush
trains OF fruit from points west OF
Elkhart. Ind, TO the steamboat docks
at Benton Harbor. These points are
over 100, miles from Chicago. the great
est market of the entire region Con
signments OF fruit leave the orchards
late in the afternoon and are loaded
into express ears and fat cars with
Grated ends and sides. Trains are run
on fast time and stop only 10 pick up
fruit, and from certain points they do
not stop for any purpose. At BENTON
Harbor the fruit packages are loaded
on great side wheel steamers and car
rled through the cooling atmosphere
of Lake Michigan, reaching Chicago
about 4 a. IN. From the Chicago docks
the big supply intended for consump-
ton In a city of over 100000 people
is distributed early liz the forenoon.
But Chicago does not begin TO take
all OF the fruit produced by the great
orchards OF two states. Millions OF
packages are shipped Off over most OF
the twenty-five different railroads ra-
dating from the city. They are haul
ed from the docks to the depots and
there are given 10 the express compa-
nies operating on the railroads. 1t il
ut this point that the advantage OF
shipping across the lake comes In
Had most Of these shipments been sent
by rail the cars could not have been
given TO the belt line In time to con-
meet with the outgoing trains in the
morning, and thus serious damage to
fast ripening fruit might have been
done, The steamboat company could
not have got the products OF distant
orchards had IL not been for the rapid
electric lines. so that II Is only by a
combination of the work Of three diff
ferent means Of transportation that IL
has been possible to market phenome-
nally big crops of fruit. The rate Of
the entire electric and lake haul is not
more thar the cost of one direct ship
ment by rail to the same point, and In
some instances It is less.
Another advantage of shipping fruit
by electric lines is that refrigeration
Is unnecessary.-Country Gentleman.

viii Open Headquarters In
Washington at Once.
H|LlES TO Be IN CHARGE
Presidents Secretary to Manage Cam.
paign to Secure Delegates Fav~
able to Administration.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Within anoth
er month, probably earlier, the o
try will be stirred by a struggle be
tween the friends of President Taft
and the followers of ex-President
Roosevelt for delegates to the next
Republican national convention.
President Taft's friends, thoroughly
alarmed over the growth of the Roose-
velt movement and the surprising
strength developed by Senator La Fol-
lette, have determined to open head
quarters at once and begin a nation
wide quest for delegates.
The headquarters will be located in
Washington. Charles D. Hilles, secre.
tary to the president, will temporarily
relinquish the office he now holds and
take charge of the Taft campaign. II
his campaign succeeds he will become
chairman of the Republican national
committee. 1t is believed that Post
master General Hitchcock could have
the job, but declined it.
Funds tor the Campaign.
Arrangements for the campaign are
in the hands OF Senators Crane Of
Massachusetts, Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania and Smoot of Utah. The rela-
tionship of these men to large busi-
ness interests is expected to result in
liberal contributions to the Taft cam.
paign fund. Senator Crane said that
he believed that President Taft could
count upon a solid delegation from the
New England states. This is an OPP
timistic view. 1t is known that there
is = strong Roosevelt under current in
Massachusetts and the La Toilette
movement has made considerable
Roadway there. The same situation
exists in New Hampshire, where Gov
srnor Bass is classed as a progressive.
Vermont is said to favor Associate
Justice Hughes over either Mr.. Taft
or Colonel Roosevelt, but would prefer
Mr.. Taft to Roosevelt.

nate Position and the Liberal
Elements Will Control.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The political COM
plexion of the new reichstag as deter.
mined by the final result of the thir-
ty-three reballots taken Thursday is
shown by the following general party
groupings. The subordinate or allied
factions are included for convenience
with the parties with which they gen.
orally vote.
Socialists, 10; Progressive Non-So-
cialist groups, 95, including 46 Nation
a. Liberals, AZ Radical Peoples party,
and Z progressive peasants and others;
Clericals, with Polish, Alsatian and
Hanoverian particularists, 1872; Con-
serVatiyes, allied parties, 70; ~Independ-
ent, /.
The results completely overthrow
the working majority of the Conserya-
tive center in the last reichstag, which
is now able to muster only 191, count
ing every possible vote, and place the
control in the hands of the National
Liberals, who will be able to form a
majority by throwing their strength
with either the Right or the Left.
6assermann to the Front.
This makes the National Liberal
leader, Ernst Bassermann, a command
Ing figure in the next reichstag. He
will be able to swing certain avowed
National Liberals, who, under proper
inducements, would probably be pre-
pared to cooperate with the govern
ment on most questions. The hostility
OF other progressive groups to the so
called reactionary bloc" apparently is
too great for any working understand
ing, except on questions of national
defense and the increase of the army
and navy.
The Socialists return as the strong
est individual party, their total being
brought up to 10 by winning eleven
of the 21 reballots In which they par
ticipated Thursday. This is more than
double their strength, which was fifty
three at the time of the dissolution,
and Twenty-Five above their previous
maximum in 1903.
