America's most distinguished champion of woman's suffrage is Mrs.
Belya Lockwood, now in her seventh-eighth year. For 35 years she has been
a practicing lawyer In Washington, D. C, arguing several Important cases be
fore the United States' supreme court. When 60 years of age she took a spe
cial university course at Oxford, England. In 1884 and again in 1888 she
was nominated by the Equal Rights party for the presidency of the United
States.

HEN-FRUIT PICKER.
Leader for Many Years In Unique Con
test Gains Victory by Using
His Teeth to Select the
Hard Shells. '
Cumberland, Md. Thoro Is a cus
tom at Rush, n village 12 miles east
of hero, which has been In voguo from
time Immemorial and linn no counter
part anywhere else so far as can bo
learned, consisting of nn cgg-nlcklng
contest, which takes nlnco annually
on Easter Monday.
Tho Interest In the event centorB
nround William Brady, who styles him
self tho "egg king," hnvlng held tho
championship for tho last 25 yearts or
more. Brady has earned tho tltlo from
the fact that ho hns been able to break
all tho eggs that wero brought, to him
In fair egg-picking contests. 1
At theso nnnual contests Brady Is
pitted against tho Held. For weeks be
fore tho ovont he visits all (ho stores
for miles around, whero eggs nro kept,
and goes through tho baskets of eggs,
selecting all tho hard-shelled ones, and
hoarding them up, Until ho has 60
dozen or more. JIo Judges whether
an egg has a hard or soft shell by
jarring It against his teeth.
Having selected all the eggs which
ho deems worthy of employing In tho
battlo royal, ho takes a day off, usual
ly tho Saturday before Easter, In
which to color tho eggs. For tho lat
ter purpose ho uses onion hulls steeped

Afton, Okln. If you owned 2,200
acres of land and were possessed of a
fortune estimated at from $75,000 to
?100,000, besides conducting a business
that netted you a profit of from $15,000
to $20,000 a year, would you glvo It up
to nccept a political Job that paid
$4,000 a year?
That Is oxactly what Grant Victor,
the new United States mnrshal for tho
eastern district of Oklnhoma, did.
Whon asked why he accepted tho ap
polntment Victor snld:
"I got Into politics ns a sort of a
joko, but now that I hnvo been ap
pointed marshal 1 am going to make
good, oven If It does cost mo $10,000 a
year."
Victor Is a native of Illinois. Ho
was born In Ulln -10 yenrs ago. His
parents died when ho was nn Infant.
Whllo a youth ho servpd an appren
ticeship at tho bricklayer's trado at
Cairo. From 188C to 1891 ho worked
at the brick mason's trado In Kansas
City.
In 1891 Victor went to tho Cherokee
nation to claim Miss Dellda C. Hast

EGG KING.
In water, declaring that all other dyes
soften the shells.
Loaded down with eggs, early Eastor
morning ho goes to tho vlllago grocery
store, dressed In n suit mado of
striped bed-tlcklng, which ho styleB his
Easter suit and which ho wears on
no other occasion. Ho nlso wears a
hat mado out of tho samo material,
ornamented with a roster feather. Ab
soon as tho crowd commences to
gather Brady mounts tho storo porch
and makes a speech, In which ho re
views his past record nnd winds up
by saying that ho Is ready to meet
all comers.
In theso egg-plcklng contests tho
eggs nro picked ngalnst each other
"for keeps," tho owner of tho success
ful egg taking tho broken one. When
once tho contest starts It Is kept up
until a lato hour at night, or until all
the eggs offered aro broken. After
tho contost Brady Juts often to secure
a wagon In which to haul home the
eggs that ho has won In tho day'B bat
tlo.
Brady says ho Intends to retire from
tho contests now, ns his teeth aro In
such condition that ho cannot tell for
certain whether an egg has a hard or
soft shell.
Ho Is a unlquo flguro whon attired
In his "Easter suit," and struts around
seemingly ns proud of the honors
which ho has won ns If ho wore really
king of tho settlement rather than the
"ogg king." That the later tltlo Is not
looked upon lightly may be Judged
from tho heroic efforts that aro made
to wrest tho honor from him.

past two years Victor has mnrketed
moro than $110,000 worth of cattlo,

Victor has turned the management
of his business Interests over to a

No Doubt on That Point.
At school during tho nnturo study

said: "Johnny, this time you did not

came tho quick reply, "vlchy, seltzer,

POWER A GOLD MINE
RESERVOIRS ARE PROPOSED IN
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS.
If Cutting of Forests Can Be Stopped
Enormous Wealth May Be Reaped
frcm Water of Streams, Says
One Report.
Washington. Tho greatest develop
ment of water power recorded In tho
United 8Uites has been accomplished
during tho Inst fow yearn on tho rivers
which drain tho southern Appalachian
mountains, according to an ofllclnl re
port of tho water resources of this re
gion, It Is estimated that thoro Is nt
least 2,800,000 Indicated horsepower
from tho stromas which havo their
headwaters on this watershed and
moro thnn half of this power Is avail
able for economic development. Only
a small part of this has been used, but
that which has vbeen utilized has been
ono of the most Important factors in
the recent Industrial development of
tho south.
Ono great difficulty encountered by
users of water power Is that It cannot
be hail tho wholo year, but must bo
supplemented for a time each summer
by coBtly fuel power, tho streams run
ning too low to bo of sorvlce. As tho
yenrs go, on tho jow water periods nro
growing longer. This Ib becnuso tho
forests nt the headwaters of tho
streams aro being cut off, with tho
result that tho melting winter Bnows
nnd tho spring rains pour off tho de
nuded nnd hnrdenod lnnd In devastat
ing floods, sending down for a fow
weeks far moro water than they can
use and reducing tho cnpaclty nnd use
fulness of their mlllponds by filling
them with hundreds of tons of sand
and soil which tho flcods scour off tho
unprotected upper slopes.
If lndlscrlmtnnto cutting of tho for
ests on the crests of tho watershed
can bo stopped thoro is n possibility,
according to a report by exports, of
Increasing tho development of powor
up to threo to 30 times tho 1,400,000
horsepower nt present avallablo. Tho
method proposed to develop tho Appn
lachlan river resources to tho total
Df 42,000,000 horsepower 1b to havo
storage reservoirs which would catch
tho surplus waters of the spring and
retain them until tho summer, when
tho mlllB now hnvo to fall back on
fuel or closo.
Tho United States geological
survey has kopt records or
stream flow In tho Appalachians
for a number of years and ro
cently- made a careful study of tho
possibilities of storage reservoirs In
that region. Tho forest scrvlco hna
published lta report under tho tltlo
"Tho Relation of tho Southern Appa
lachian Mountains to tho Develop
ment of Wnterpower."
ExpertB of . tho gcologlcnl survey
who made tho Investigation, nftor pick
ing out reservoir sites and estimating
their capacity and tho area from which
they would receive tho run-off, con
sider tho figures given very conserva
tive. Even with only 1,400,000 horso
power tho annunl return at $20 a, horse
power per year would amount to $28,
000,000, equal to a gross Income of
three per cent, on n capital of about
$933,000,000.

Kalnmazoo, Mich. "This gentlemen,

much nm I offered?"
Tho bids ran from 25 cents to $4.50,
and the auctioneer promptly closed
tho salo. Tho high bidder, a local bar
ber, loaded his purchase Into an ex
press wugon and took It homo. There
ho broke tho seal and discovered that
ho had bought for $4.50 a quantity of

Wayne, Pa. Two old ledgers, which
