He Won His Bet.

A big, prosperous business man could
be seen seated at well spread table in
restaurant as two wags passed by. One
of the wags smiled and remarked to his
panion:
'1'll bet you fine dinner that I'll
walk into that restaurant, drink that
mans cup of coffee and sample his juicy
steak and have him thank me for it,
''Done!' exclaimed his companion,
"I'll stand off and see the fun?''
Quietly the wag entered the restau
rant, looked about critically and after
sedate pause stepped beside the heavy
business man, who had just tucked his
napkin under his chin. The wag rea Oh
ed forward quite gravely, picked up the
cup of coffee and drank it. As the bus
mess man swung about to say something
explosive the wag held up his hand and
remarked under his breath.
Don't say word, L n one of the in
spectors acting under orders from the
I1cdlbi department. IL L udu COulo III
here and ordered myself cup of coffee,
the proprietor would have seen to it that
received an excellent one. What
wished was to get taste of what they
are sewing their customers regularly"
He drank the contents of the cup and
continued:
''This is most excellent coffee. l am
glad to say"
The fat man beamed upon the wag
and remarked
1T is splendid work that the Board of
Health is doing, and congratulate you
on your quiet way of learning what the
restaurants are serving. Taste anything
you like that I've ordered"
The wag took bite of the steak,
bowed gravely and walked out to eat the
dinner he had won.

Staggering Figures.

Have you stopped to think since read
ing the crop report just exactly what
900, 600, 600 bushels Of wheat means?
That's the estimated yield of the
United States wheat crop this year
Nine hundred million bushels That is
almost half the worlds wheat crop. il is
said. and is 1877, 0O0,0O bushels more
than was ever grownin This country in
any previous year.
Positively staggering are these figures
One might realize after careful thought
what 100 or 1000 or even, by stretching
ones imagination, what one million
bushels of wheat might look like-bul
try to imagine nine hundred million
bushels stacked in heap! It's impos-
siblel Far beyond the comprehension
Of anyone.
Nine hundred million bushels means
nine bushels of wheat for every man,
woman and child in the whole United
States, our population being approx.
mately 100, 900. And nine bushels
of wheat would sustain one person for
a year easily, and perhaps two. We
could live until next year after the har-
vest on our wheat crop alone.
Nine hundred million bushelsl That
means 200, 600, 900 barrels of -four, figur-
ing on the usual basis of four and one
half bushels to the barrel. Two barrels
of -four for everybody in the country.
Nine hundred million! Every good
and careful baker figures on approx
mately 800 loaves of bread from a bar
rel of -four. Now close your eyes and
imagine the pile of bread From 300
600, 600 barrels of -four there could be
made &C, 600, 600, 600 loaves of bread
sixty billion loaves
II it were not for the wheat crop of
the United States the world, or a great
part of il, would starvs. Much of this
wheat is exported. Other wheatless
countries must have their bread as well
as we.
OF course there won't be sixty billion
loaves of bread from the crop, for much
of the grain is used in other ways. Lots
of it goes into breakfast foods, some is
made into whisky and a great deal will
be saved for seed. Besides all the -four,
white, graham and whole wheat, there
will be much bran for the use of our
four-footed friends.
But for fear you lose sight of that 9O0,-
900, 600 bushels, think of the weight of
that enormous CROP II bushei of wheat
weighs approximately 60 pounds, the en-
tire production of the United States will
weigh "a. OO0. 900, 600 pounds.
