The Colonel and myself speak two dif-
ferent languages. l speak from a purely
scientific point. Whatever criticism have

have no doubt the Colonel has done what
he says. although tho story he told to-
night was considerably different from the
one he first told. Instead of having sur
veyed the river for thousand miles this
work was done for less than one degree,
There are many points on which ! would
have liked to question the Colonel but
they would have been mostly technical
and scientific. which 1t is doubtful that he

LONDON, June 16.--Col Theodore
Roosevelt placed the River OF Doubt on the
map before distinguished audience OF
the fellows Of the Royal Geographical So
ciety tonight In much the same manner
as he had done In his lecture mt Washing
ton after his return from Brazil, but he
did not invite his hearers to ask any
questions.
This omission was greatly regretted by
DR.. Hamilton Rice, the explorer. who
hld made n special Journey from Madrid
and was all primed to ask the Colonel
,nnumerable questions, mostly of a sci
entific nature.
The entrance OF DR.. Rice, who has
made explorations in Brazil and Colombia,
created quite a stir In the auditorium.
Shortly after Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
Mrs. Lee, wife OF Lieut.. Col Arthur Lee
who has been the host of Col, Roosevelt
and Philip Roosevelt, the Colonels cousin,
had taken their seats DIR. Rice came In
and taking a chair placed II beside Philip

PENSION FUND ToTTERINo

PENSION FUND TOTTERlNG
Chicago's police pension fund is on
the verge of bankruptcy. Within
two years the men eligible for pen
sions at that time will be left out in
the cold and those to follow are in
the same fix. The police pension fund
is now 100000.
These are the conclusions arrived
at by the police pension fund board.
Expert legal talent is being employed
to devise ways and means to avert
the catastrophe. Plans are also be-
ing made to appeal to the state legis-
lature to remedy conditions. The sit
uation is said to be due to the notion
that all that is necessary to establish
desired arrangement is to pass a
law about it. The financial end is
never considered, says the report.

SELLING PRODUCE DIRECT.

]. NJ. Taylor. writing IN the Farm
and Fireside. published at Springfield.
Ohio. gives farmers valuable advice In
regard to making q market for the
direct sale OF their goods to city con-
sumers. The advice IS especially time
ly and valuable in and near Rock Is
land in view OF the experiment the
postofice department Is to make here
in fostering this sort OF trade through
the parcel post. Mr.. Taylor says:
The cities are full OF people who
want to buy their goods direct. the
country is full OF farmers who would
gladly sell direct for the sake of
the additional profits TO be gained
by that mode OF selling. All that
remains is for them to get together.
There is no need of an extensive
advertising campaign. All that Ia
necessary is a small display adver-
tisement in the newspapers of the
nearest large city. And in writing
the ad the farmer should not be
bashful about having his name
easily seen. Let him advertise
Smiths potatoes, or Smiths cab
bages, or whatever Smith has to sell.
Do it In a manner that will leave the
impression that Smith is proud OF
his cabbage, that he knows them
to be up to standard and that he
personally stands back of them.
People will more readily buy of a
man when he stamps his name on
his goods in a manner which shows
that he is not afraid to be known
as their sponsor. Furthermore, It
is good business. for IL people buy
Smiths cabbages this year and find
them good. they will clamor for
Smiths cabbages next year and be
satisfied with no others"

Copyrighted. 1915 by Associated Literary Bureau.

/ There is a town in Massachusetts
that smacks as much, IL not more, OF
the early colonial times than any
other in North America. Its name Is
Hadley, and they call It Old Hadley,
but why it is considered necessary 20
mention the fact of its age is not ap-
parent. Certainly no one would ever
look upon It as young Hadley.
Land was cheap when Hadley was
settled. Consequently they laid out
the main street of the town as wide
as a modern block Is long, with two
rows of trees on each side, row
within q stones throw of the houses.
the other row within calling distance
of the houses on the other side-that
is, by a strong pair Of lungs.
Later the settlers laid out another
street not far from the first, but since
there has never been use for two par
allel streets in Hadley the first is now
deserted. But the same trees planted
several hundred years ago still stand
there.
At one end of the street to which
the town was moved there is dwelling
which in the olden time was the tav-
ern The bar is still there over which
formerly passed many mug Of flip,
but it is now dry. The visitor looks
longingly upon it, half expecting to
see the landlord hand out the steam
ing beverage, then turns away in dis
appointment, and the curtain that
hides the bar is lowered.
One cherries night long ago when
the trees were throwing their great
arms about in the wind party sat In
this barroom endeavoring TO bear up
against the weather by frequent call
ing on the landlord for flip. They said
it was the weather that rendered the
stimulant necessary, but that was an
age of superstition, and the real reason
for their rotations was a fear of ghosts.
Every time a gust of wind would shrek
throue'. the trees above them the col
