THE most interesting of all modern char
i acters was the old Leather Man, clad from
head to foot in buckskin, who tramped the
hills and dales of Westchester County, New
York and lived in cave near Sing Sing. he
was found dead there in 1889. In his cease
less wanderings he did occasional odd JOBS
in plumbing and repairing, but invariably re-
fused money for his work, being contented
with food or tobacco. He slept in barns. lt
is said that he was craaed through an unfor-
tunate love affair in France in 1855. AS young
and good looking Jules Bourgay he had won
the hand of wealthy leather merchants
daughter and had entered the mans employ
to prove his worthiness. He speculated IN
leather, and when a crash came in that COM
modify his employer as we'll as himself was
impoverished, and his hopes blasted. His
mind was unhinged by the shock, and ne
came to this country, resolved to do penance
by always wearing leather.

DONE IN PHILADEil

WITH the exit of the News-Post the other
w day, Philadelphia, for the third time In
less than year, stood dry-eyed at the bier
of an evening newspaper For the Item and
the Evening Times had at decent intervals
preceded the News-Post into oblivion. The
fatality In each Instance might be said to
have been the same-failure to recognize the
peculiar field newspapers have to cover In
Philadelphia. In each instance the end came
suddenly but as all Of the journals men
toned had shown signs Of falling health, the
demise was not unexpected.

CtPEAKING of characters recalls one cre-
- ated by Alexander Sweet in his paper,
Texas Siftings at one time the best-known
humorous weekly in this country. Colonel
Bill Snort, the character in question: lived In
the White House, ran the country for the
President and advised its occupant on things
important and otherwise So realistically was
the character drawn that, when President
Mckinley swung the circle in Texas, the en-
thusiastc natives yelled loudly and long for
Bill Snort.
But the worst is yet to come. Colonel
Sweet is authority for the story that man
named McGrath living in San Antonio who
expected q son and heir, was so loyal to
Snort that when daughter arrived he named
her Snortiana McGrath!

TT is STILL moot question whether
i Kaiser William was crowned or not. Ac-
cordng to current gossip, the Kaiser, seeking
to be crowned as Emperor OF Germany, in
stead of German Emperor after the manner
of Charlcmagne, sought consent of the rulers
of the German homogeny. Several of the
petty rulers refused to give their acknowl-
edgment, being jealous of Prussan domi-
nance. AS result. it is alleged, the Kaiser
grew angry and declined to be crowned Still
another story has it that he waited for the
official ceremony until it could take place in
Westminster Abbey, although this is bit
doubtful, even for so ambitious ruler as
William.

WINTER WHEAT IN
THE GULF STATES

Washington, D. C.-Consider-
able interest is being shown in
the Southern States this year in
wheat growing. Inquiries are
coming to the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture from many Sec
tons of the South regarding the
suitability of wheat as a crop in
these sections, and regarding
varieties and methods of culture.
In many sections of the South
wheat should do well, and should
prove a valuable addition to the
crops there grown. Much Of the
well-drained clay and loan soils
can doubtless be used profitably
for wheat-growing. The sandy
soils, however. are generally not
suitable for wheat. The Coastal
Plains of the Gulf and of the At
lantic are not likely to return
profitable wheat crops. and in at
least all Of the peninsular portion
Of Florida wheat-groWing should
not be attempted. The Pied
mont plateau, however, contains
much good wheat land.
Wheat can generally be sown
on land on which a cultivated
crop, such as corn or cotton; has
grown by merely disking and
narrowing thoroughly, and then
drilling in the seed about II
inches deep with a disk or hoe
drill. Ii weeds are plentiful,
blowing preceded and followed
by disking, will probably be
necessary.
Wheat can be sown in the
States bordering on the Gulf al
most any time in November, but
generally speaking the first of
November in the North and the
middle Of the month in the Cen
trail parts are the most suitable
seeding dates. A good growth
Of the plant is necessary before
cold weather begins. yet if the
plant becomes jointed injury
from freezing may result.
A variety that has been grown
| locally for several years and that
/ has become adapted to the local.
! ty is generally the best. The
/ soft red winter wheats are best
adapted. A beardless, smooth,
white-chaffed variety, such as
Fultz, Purple Straw, Bluestem
mot the Spring Bluestem), Geor.
gia Red, or Alabama Red, or a
bearded, smooth, white chaffed
variety, such as tulcaster OF
Dietz, may be grown with the
greatest chance for success. The
hard red winter wheats, such as
: Turkey and Kharkov, while well
suited to Kansas and Nebraska.
should not be sown in the South.
Some fertilizer should general
ly be sown with wheat in the
South. An application of 20C
pounds of acid phosphate OF
steamed bone meal, so pounds OF
potash, and Is pounds Of nitrate
of soda per acre applied when
sowing, and 40 or so pounds of
nitrate Of soda applied after
growth starts in the spring,
should be generally profitable.

BERRIES COME AND GO.
Last Week for Strawberries, but Wild
Raspberries Are Ripe,

With the exit of the strawberry pre-
serving season, local housewives will
now turn their attention to putting
up some of the luscious red raspber-
rics which came into the market this
week. Strawberry growers state this
week will mark the passing of the
1914 season, one of the poorest in recent
years. The berries while of good
quality. were scarce and commanded
good prices.
Raspberries are said to be plentiful
in the copper country district this
season and although the wild crop has
just begun To ripen the pickers are
very numerous.
1t is said the blueberry crop will
also be a very satisfactory one this
year, the recent rains having helped
wonderfully.
