Adept In High Finance.
Robert Bacon is recognized in tho
east as beng more than usually well
versed In matters of high finance. It
was Bacon who was in charge of tho
Interests of J. Plerpon Morgan in the
famous Northern Pacific corner of
1901. Ho arranged tho British end

Mrs. Potter Palmer Changes Style.
At the first dinner sho gavo in
Hampden house, London, Mrs. Potter
Palmer staggered everybody by lead
ing tho way Into tho dining room. At
first her guests thought Mrs. Palmer
had acted absent-mindedly, but she
continued tho practice bo Inaugurated.
In England the hostess Invariably
goes into the dining room last, but
several of Mrs. Palmer's friends hopo
that her examplo will becomo tho
fashion in London, holding that it is
obviously more sensible for tho host
ess to enter tho room first in order to
correct any mistakes in the "order of
sitting" before the guests begin to
flounder around the table in search of
their names.
Model Dairy Farm Pays Well.
Two Brothers, Albert and Harry

Exchange out to look at it. Tho vis
itors were driven over the 650 acres in
wagons drawn by teams of eight nice
ly matched gray Percheron horses,
nnd they found the dairymen and tho
stablemen all neatly uniformed. It is
also reported that they found a sceno
of "unuBual pastoral beauty." There
aro hills, valleys and tumbling, splash
ing waters on the big farm, and the
keynote of tho management is organ
ization and system. The result Is sue?

Mark Hanna'a Parable.
A late story of Mark Hanna tells
how some friends were urging tho
bur,ly Ohloan to try for presidential
nomination, It was when McKlnloy
was at the height of his popularity.
Senator Hanna reflected for a moment
nnd then answered: "Two skunks
-n-ero sitting in tho shade of a fence
one' day when an automobile went
whizzing by, leaving behind a particu
larly emphatic odor of gasoline.. The
sKunks sniffed In disgust for a while

I GREAT CORN CROP8 OF KAN8A8.
Have Added Immense Sums to the
Wealth of the Nation.
Tho valuo of tho KnnsaB corn crop
of 1902 from only 13 per cent of hor
area, was sufficient to more than flvo
times covor tho cost of tho entire
Louisiana purchaso and nearly cloven
tlmos as much as tho United States
paid for Alaska. Undo Sam's reports
point out that In tho five-year period
ending with tho year 1900 tho com
bined value of KansaB' corn and
wheat exceeded that of tho Bamo crops
of any other stato in tho union. Illi
nois camo noxt, but fell behind Kan
sas by a little less than $19,000,000.
Tho valuo of corn grown in Kansas
tho last twenty years is $100,000,000
more than that of all tho wheat crops
grown by Kansas since her beginning.
In tho last ten years tho valuo of
Kansas' corn crops has boon $106,000,
000 more than that of tho wheat pro
duced in tho same period, which in
cluded threo of tho stato's largest
wheat crops and ono of the smallest
of corn. In tho preceding ten years
tho corn crop was worth nearly $200,
000,000 more than tho wheat.
Tho Kansas corn crop was worth
over $6,000,000 more than all hor other
products of tho soil In 1902, and in
two preceding seasons corn outvalued
all tho other field products, wheat in
cluded. Tho fact that Kansas producos more
wheat than any other Btato of country
in tho world always causes much car
nest watchfulness and dlscusBlon ot
Its acreage, condition, prospects, yield,
and quality, at homo and throughout
the grain, milling, transportation,
breadstuff, banking, and commercial
centors of civilization. This would
naturally persuade thoso without
knowledgo of tho facts to supposo that
wheat is by far tho stato's main and
foremost crop; yet compared in im
portance and valuo with her corn,
wheat is a Bide issue, and but ono of
various secondary items the worth ot
which must bo aggregated to oven ap
proach tho value of corn.
Great as tho wheat crops havo been,
for twenty-flvo of tho forty-three years
of which there is record, statistics re
veal that tho aggregate valuo of tho
corn crop was moro than doublo that
of tho combined yields of winter and
spring wheat, and in but few years has
the value of tho wheat crop approach
ed or surpassed that of tho Bamo
year's corn. The value of tho corn
alono in each of fifteen years ot tho
last twenty has been greater than that
of all other field crops together, wheat
omitted, and In only one year (1901) of
tho last decado did corn fall to out
value the Bamo crops.
Vanity a Trap for Criminals.
"What la our greatest help in cap
turing criminals? Why, their vanity,
of course," said tho detective. "Men
and women who mako crime a busi
ness are always proud of tholr work
when it is well dono, according to
criminal standards, and sooner or la
ter thoy brag of it and it gets to our
ears. Even men who commit unpre
meditated crimes seem unablo to keep
tholr doings to themselves, and if they
do not openly boast they gtvo out mys
terious hints that rouse suspicion and
bring about surveillance. Then, again,
no matter how well a crime is plan
ned, there is nearly always an unfore
seen contingency to bo met, and it's
the failure to take precautions against
tho ono contingency that glvos many a
clew." Now York Sun.
First View of a Turtle at Andover.
Tho late J. P. White, of Andover,
hired a coachman named Dennis. Den
nis had but recently arrived In this
country. One day he went to tho
brook for a pall of water and there
saw his first mud-turtle. Ho ran back
to the house, grabbed his master by
tho arm and began to haul him
toward. the brook, saying: Mr. Whlto!
Mr. Whlto! Corao and look at this
animal down there. It has a foot lolko
that" (making his hand like a claw).
"It has a trapolllon on its back and,
begorra, it swallers Its own head."

Judgo Humphrey who heard tho tes

Claims Office-Holding Record.
E. W. Sweeloy, a Justlco of the

Pa., claims the record for offce-holdlng
in that Btato. Altogether he has held
various township and county offices
whoso torms aggrogato 109 years dur
ing his life of sixty-eight years, and he

CHINAMAN MARKED FOR DEATH.

great power in Mongolian affairs in
Amorica.
Joseph Choate Taking a Rett.
Although Josoph Choate, the former
ambassador to England, has been
homo only soven months ho has had
occasion to refuse flattering ofSers for
legal services which would havo net
ted him many thousands of dollars.
Ho declined to mix in tho Philadelphia
affair a few months ago and recently
ho wrote a positive letter saying that
ho could not possibly be persuaded to
go into tho Equitable business. Choato
Is in demand from many quarters, but
he has stoadfastly refused to ontertaln
proposals. His excuse is "pressure of
personal business." For a man worth
less than a million this seems strange
to many Now Yorkers.
For Broadening the Shoulders.
A good exercise for broadening the
shoulders requires tho person to place
In his hands straight before him
against a door or wall, which ho must
face. Straighten out the arms and lot
tho palms of both hands be spread
out upon tho surface of the door.
Then slowly press tho chest forward
toward the door. This will causo tho
arms to bend at tho elbows, but at the
same time will throw back the shoul
ders. Rowing will broaden the shoul
ders very perceptibly. Exercises with
dumb-bells are also good.
