HOLYOKE HAS LOST HONOR

Spencer Morgan.

Holyoke, Mass, which has long

place of Junlus Spencer Morgan, grand
father of the present J. P. Morgan, has
been shorn of this fame by the town
Of West Springfield. This decision has
been rendered by the Connecticut Val.
ley Historical society.
The explanation lies In the fact that
the present city Of Holyoke was for.
merly a part of the town of West
Springfield and that, contrary to Holy.
oke's contention. and the assumption
Of the Morgan family, the site Of the
ancestral home Of Junius Spencer Nor

a narrow margin.
The present J. P. Morgan received an
opportunity to perpetuate family his.

strumentality Of any public gift which
appealed to his fancy. Though Mr..
Morgan was unresponsive, the contest
between Holyoke and West Springfield
for birthplace honors progressed mer

Making ARRANGEMENTS.

A stray but friendly cat wandered
to the front door of a home where
lived Charles. an only child. The lit.
tie fellow was pleased with his new
visitor. and was endeavoring to well
come him by bringing him into the
house, when the mother appeared on
the scene. She told the child that
the cat was not allowed In the house.
Immediately after the cautloning and
while the cat was on the front porch
Charles went to the door and said:

back door and I'll meet you there"

Wilson Not the Only One.

One other president than Wilson
traced his line to Carlisle, England ;
for Zachary Taylor was fifth in de.
scent from James Taylor of Carlisle,
who emigrated to this country In 1868.
Considering the fairly uniform British
extraction Of our presidents, few In
deed could have gone to the homes of
really near ancestors in the British
isles. Andrew Jackson Is the only one
whose father was born there, the elder
Jackson having come from Carrickfer-
gus, Ireland, decade before the Rev.
olutlon. Grant is not particularly dis
tinguished in that his family had been
American in all its branches for eight
generations; as much could be said Of
others. 1t seems appropriate that the
first president In Office to visit the
mother country felt so intimately the
ties of blood that originally gave 1t
the name of mother country.-New

ALGERIAN Grain Production.

Methods Of grain production used In
Algeria are very similar to those used
in Utah, Idaho and eastern Washing
ton. Owing to the light rainfall much
of the land is cropped only alternate
years, a clean fallow being maintained
during the summer preceding the SOW
ing of the crop. In more favorable
situations 1t Is often customary to pro.
duce two or three grain crops In sue
cessive years, allowing the land to lie
fallow one year in four or one year
in five.
Speaking generally, the soils Of the
growing regions are rather heavy
and are very productive when the rain.

are underlain by calcareous hardpan.

ANDREW CARNEGIE DID WELL.

When Andrew Carnegie died re-
Gently, it was found that his estate

tenth of his life earnings. The great
Scot had disposed of the greater part

around the world.
How did 1 get my first thousand?
By saving it," This epigram was his
reply to a direct question.
Mr.. Carnegie did nightly we'll dur

nothing had he not saved that first

And he could have saved the thous-
