To Control Jute Trade.

1t Is understood that the English
government Is TO keep control of the
flax trade during the next season. and
that it purposes to give greater facili-
ties for the export of yarns and cloth.
as well as to deal literally with re-
quests for permits. etc, for the home
market.
Meantime the surprisingly heavy in
crease in the price of raw materials
has made all quotations nominal.
There being only n seller in Russia
now. the government has had to pay
what may be called an exorbitant rate
for the fiber.
Changes are also rapidly developing
in jute-goods trading arrangements.
The granting of grading permits and
export licehses has been put on a diff
ferent footing. More encouragement
will be accorded to the shipment of
yarns until 1t is found that this Is in
terfering with the weaving OF cloth for
home outlets.

Peggy agreed.
'Then there was a time when you

"Glowing?' smiled Peggy.

the nice man; like a vivid flower in a

ly.

question was extremely casual.
MY young brother" Peggy replied.
Tom Price took his big hands from
the carriage handle and stood still
before her. "Your brother!" he la
mented land all this time I've been
trying to keep from falling in love
with another fellows girl"
"You have no right to speak to me
like that" Peggy began severely, but
Immediately her anxiety was rams
ferred to the nearness of a surrounding
stone wall.
"This is the place." she whispered,
where took the baby. I've been
away quite some time. Would you
mind walking with ne as far as the
front door? If his mother should hap
pen to be angry"
"Just you leave it all to me-" Tom
magnanimously suggested.
AS there was still no response to
their m at the great house
door, perplexed and feeling rather
guilty, Peggy followed her protectors
advice and waited with him upon the
veranda.
Her eyes softened as the nice man
rocked the baby in his arms.
HE is not a bit afraid of you," she
murmured.
Then Tom Price laughed. "Why
should he be?" he said. HE is my sis
ter's kid. She left him in my care for
a couple of hours this afternoon. I'd
just zone to hunt up his nurse when
you came and stole him.

cused. You kept walking along and

SEE EXTINCTION OF COYOTE
Stock Raisers Confident That Their
Skulkina Enemy Will Soon Be En-
tireiy Wiped Out.

According to stock raisers and farm
ers, especially In Kansas, the coyote
seems to be fast becoming extinct. The
fencing up of big pasture districts
where practically every acre is stock
ed with cattle has robbed the coyote Of
his once free and open range.
Because of his depredations on
young and helpless domestic stock a
bounty has in many places been set
upon his head and he has long been
a fugitive, hunted and killed by every
farmer and stock raiser. h greater
part of these bounties are collected in
the spring months before the mother
wolf has left her den with her fam
lily. So persistently has the warfare
of determination been carried on that
the coyotes which rear their families
in safety must be cunning indeed.
The coyote has long borne a repu-
tation for cowardice, to say nothing of
other unworthy qualities, but in the
opinion of some this is unfair TO the
beast. His warfare on sheep long ago
led to the institution of coyote drives,
especially in the far Northwest. Hun
dreds of men turn out and manage
the thing pretty much as is done in
the case of n rabbit drive, when great
numbers of ~jackrabbits are driven in
to a sort of corral, where they are
killed.
On one occasion many men and boys
In southern Idaho worked all day driv-
ing in the coyotes and when they, the
men and boys, had all converged at
the corral they found just one coyote
in 1t, and he got awayl

BUILT FROM HIS OWN PLANS.

At the late date of 1927 n wish expressed by
George Washington in his will was obeyed. He
had called attention to his selection of a spot for
a new tomb for himself and family and those of
the family already buried in the old vault. The
old tomb was disadvantageously situated on the
side of a hill which was subject to landslides.
For the. new vault he specified not only the SPOT,
but also dimensions and materials. According to
these. his own plans, a tomb was built, and his
and Mrs. Washington's bodies were transferred
to it, along with the remains in the old vault of
other members of the family. The latter were
buried within the vault, out of sight, while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are in
stone collins above the ground, within plain view
between a grated Iron doorway.

TENDER %, 1900. This will is not nearly so long
nor so involved as that of General Washington.
1t was probated in 1902 by George Washington
Parke Gusts and Thomas Peter, two of the execu-
tors. 1t was taken up with the disposition of
household effects and provisions for the education
of her relatives. Three granddaughters, four
nieces, her grandson, four nephews, a grandniece
and other distant relatives and friends are men,
toned. To them she gave paintings, town lois
and to nearly all of them she gave from five TO
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One of the odd provisions was: ut is my VIII
and desire that Ann Mariah Washington, daughter
of my niece, be put into handsome mourning Mt
my death at the expense of my estate, and l pc
queath to her ten guineas to buy n ring"
Another unusual order reads: ut is my VIII
and desire that all of the wine in bottles in the
vaults be. equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each of whom l
beaueath ten guineas to buy a ring for EACH
All of the family pictures, except n few spe-
officially mentioned, were left to George Washing
ton Parke Custis, and to him went a large collec-
ton of household furnishings, including beds,
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education of three neph-
ews, who were to be fitted in "some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 pounds be given to each to set him up in his
trade.
The belated return of these two famous docl'
ments, so essentially personal and human In their
contents, to the little courthouse where they were
both filed for probate over a century ago has
made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for
the historyloving tourist, and it is rapidly falling
into line after Mount Vernon and Alexandria In
point of popularity.

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election of
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government, the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors, the people voting
for them only indirectly, their choice being ex-
pressed by their votes for Legislators. A deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state.
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution, so Washington was
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the Is states.
New York city was the scene OF the first inaugu-
ration, however. Washington took the oath on
the portico of Federal hall, on the present site Of
the subtreasury, at Wall and Nassau streets, April
80, 1889. Immediately following this ceremony he
retired within the building and delivered an adj
dress to congress, which met in Federal hall in
those days. John Adams, the second president,
also addressed congress in person, but Jefferson
broke the custom WHICH President Wilson has re-
vived. Jefferson stigmatized that form of address
as monarchical and put his message in writing
New York Sun.

White Whale In the Yukon.

Deputy Marshal J. @. Wood of Fair-
banks, Alaska, is authority for the
story that a white whale has made .ts
appearance in the Yukon river oppo-
site the mouth of the Tanana river.
He noticed the mammal on his recent
trip up from Ruby. The deputy says
that preparations are now being made
for the capture of the whale as 500
ms the river freezes up a little more.
The whale was headed for some place
on the Upper Yukon, but the Ice run
prevented 1t getting any further than
Tanana. 1t frequently comes up to
blow and has been see by a number
