A man who had suddenly becouu very rich went to live In New Yorl and began to spend money with a lav lsh hand. He decided that his nami needed advertising, so ho visited i genealogist. “I suppose," he said, "If I pay yoi enough you can trace my family bacl to Adam.” "My dear sir,” replied the genealo gist, “if you’re willing to put up th( money we can prove by evolution that your family existed before Adam."— Llpplncott's Magazine.

' ’ Willing to Do Square Thing. Brand Whitlock, who doubles ai 'mayor of Toledo and as a literary man, had a Chicago career. He was a reporter on the old Herald when Fete Dunne and Charley Seymour were hl« ■tde-klcks. Charley Chapin was one of his city editors. Chapin Is now city editor of the New York Evening World, and this ■tory was told to Whitlock lately by a correspondent who had him undei Interviewing Are: A new reporter had been hired on the Evening World, and he went to work on a Wednesday. The pay day on the paper is Thursday. In the ‘Course of a week, when the recruit re ■celved him first envelope, he found that he was a day short.

Will Not Offset the III Effects ol Coffee and Tea When One Cannot Digest Them. A farmer says: “For ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, caused by the use of colfee (Tea con tains caffeine, the same drug found In coffee), until I got so bad I had tc «lve up coffee entirely and almost give op eating. There were times when 1 could eat only boiled milk and bread; end when I went to the field to work 1 had to take some bread and buttei ■along to give me strength.

REBELS, DEFIANT, CAPTURE AND BURN A CUBAN TOWN I 1 DAIQUIRI, CUBA, WHERE AMERICAN FORCES LANDED IN 1898 Cuban rebels are reported to have captured and burned the town of La Maya. Incidentally encounters between the regulars and the rebels are reported to have taken place near Daiquiri, and at other places without decisive results. The general forward movement of the Cuban troops apparently is still deferred, pending completion of the disposition of the troops ordered by General Monteagudo. AVIATOR NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH WHEN HIS AEROPLANE IS WRECKED OLIVER SHERWOOD'S WRECKED BIPLANE Oliver Sherwood, a young aviator, narrowly escaped death at the Kuhuert aerodrome, at Hackensack, N.

Experiments of United States Army Experts Result in Remarkable Results. From the Chicago Tribune. Photographers create much amusement with photographs they make of them selves In vurlous attitudes, but It has re mained for the experts of the United States army to train 12-lneh projectiles from the heavy coast defense guns to make pictures of themselves as they go through the atmosphere so fast the ordi nary eye can hardly trace their night. The nrst trials were made on the gun carriage with the recoil mechanism op erating the camera. This was found to be unsuccessful because of certain un evenness of work in the mechanism nec essarily produced In the recoil. Another dlftlculty met was In the blast of the dis charge. Finally, after repeated attempts. It was determined to make the projectile Itself operate the camera. Electrical connection was made between the camera and the bore of the gun, so that the series of resulting photographs would show the various Bteps In the dis charge from the time the charge of pow der Is exploded until the projectile Is clear of the gun and well on its way to its mark. The work was done under the di rection of Capt. Frances J. Behr. The apparatus for exposing the nega tive was placed on the sighting platform and the camera began the making of neg atives the instant the gun w’as tired, the exposures being made at Intervals of 1-3000 of a second. So well did the mechansim work that several negatives were actually made before the projectile had traveled the length of the gun and emerged from the muzzle. The pictures are regarded as highly valuable to the science of artillery. Ex periments with mortars w’ere made with the same apparatus with equal success. A Deep Seated Opposition. James R. Garfield in the Outlook. The opposition to the president comes from no single set of men nor from any particular section of the country. This opposition is widespread and deep seated. It has not risen merely during the cam paign for renomination, but it has been a gradual, steady growth, beginning w'lth the early days of President Taft’s admin istration, and becoming more intense as he and his administration drew aw-ay from the policies that the people at large ( believe in. IMPRISONED TURKEY LAID HER OWN FOOD Trapped Under a Haystack She Produces Egg Every Day and Eats It. Reading, Pa. Special: Thomas Brossman, a prosperous farmer of Sinking Spring, drove into the city car rying with him a turkey yam which he does not tell to everybody, because he fears it will put him in the “nature faker" class. Brossman owns a flock of turkeys. Two months ago one of them disap peared and he supposed it had returned to the wild state. This morning Bross man was diggnig around an old hay stack when he heard a faint noise. He dug into the stack and eventually reached an emaciated turkey which he recognized as the missing member of his flock. Scattered around the turkey were the shells of 42 turkey eggs. Brossman says he counted them. When the tur key became hungry she simply laid an egg and ate it. According to Bross man's version this particular fowl could have gone on living forever through the perpetual motion she had Invented. The turkey got Into the haystack through a small hole made by chickens and once In was unable to turn around or eat her way to the other side. Then she began to lay her daily egg. Changed His Vocation. "Willie,” said the heiress, cheerfully. “I have been thinking.” "Thinking of me, my precious?” asked Willie. “In a way—yes.” replied Eunice. "I have been thinking that were you to mar ry me everyone would say you only did it for the sake of my money.” But Willie was not abashed one whit. “What care I for the base, unthinking world?” cried he, gallantly, adjusting his Immaculate gloves. “Still, Willie, nothing shall part us. I will marry you or no one.” “My own Eunice” “And I will not have the people saying unkind things about you, so I am dis posing of my fortune to the missionaries. Why. dearest, why are you going?” Willie looked back through the half opened door. "I’m going to become a missionary,” he replied. On the Way. Mistress—Is that young man I saw you with yesterday your lover, Ellen? Maid—Not exactly my lover, ma'am.

Washington— Special: Census figures now at hand show that between 1900 and 1910 the city population of the Unit ed Stated increased from 31,610,000 to 42.623.000, a gain of 34.8 per cent. Dur ing the same period the rural popula tion increased only 11.2 per cent, or from 44,385,000 to 49,349,000. Thus it appears that in ten years the popula tion whiofr consumes farm products in creased 11,013,000, while that which pro duces such products increased only 4, 964.000. It is also to be noted, as even more important in its bearing as an economic factor, that in 1910 the urban, or con suming poulation, was 12.775,000 persons less than the rural or producing pop ulation, while in 1910 it was just the other way about to the extent of 6, 726.000 persons. Then, too, all people classed in the rural population are not engeged in agricultural pursuits. During the decade under considera tion the total population of the Unites States increased by 15,978,000, or 21 per cent. In the same time the improved farms of the country increased in total acre from 414,498,000 to 478,462,000 acres, or 15,4 ner cent. The cereal crops for 1899 were grown on 184,982,000 acres. For 1909 the acreage in cereal crops was 191.396.000 acres, an increase of only 3.5 per cent. In the game time the yield of the ceseal crops increased only 1.7 per cent. For 1909 the per capita production of cereals was 49 bushels, or more than nine bushels less than it was ten years before: but comparing the two years the total value of the cereal crops jumped from $1,482,600,000 for 1899 to $2,665,500,000 for 1909, a gain of 80 per cent. This reflects one basic cause of the higher cost of food supplies. Relatively short crops last year in tensified the situation as between con sumers and producers of food pro ducts. In 1901 flour sold at $3.45 per barrel, on May 1 last it was 5.10, both being wholesale prices. Taking the same dates for comparison, wheat is up from 81 cents to $1.22 per bushel, corn from 60 to 86 cents, oats from 33 to 63 cents per bushel. Beef carcasses have gone up from 8.5 to 11.4 cents per pound, hog carcasses from 7.1 to 11 cents and mut ton from 8.7 to 15 cents per pound. GERMAN OFFICER IN THE ROLL OF FIREMAN New York-i-Special: Sergeant Rich-: ter, ot the German cruiser Stettin, re turning from Brooklyn to his ship with, a number of other German sailors ear ly today, sprang from a street car when/ he saw Dimes coming from a building' and not only assisted the firemen lip checking the blaze, but did good worlc In aiding the rescue of a number ofi persons.

All of the ships trim med their decks with evergreen and beneath canopies of canvas and gay bunting there was music, dancing and refreshments for hundreds who werq invited aboard after Mayor Gaynor and his committee had been officially en tertained on the Moltke. While the entertainment aboardship was going on, BOO of the German sail ors took a boat trip to Coney Island. A private dinner given by Cornelius Vanderbilt to Admiral von Reuber Paschwitz and other officers at the New York Yapht club was a feature of the entertainment last night. REASON WHY ONE BOY QUIT FARM FOR CITY Philadelphia—Special: “Just the oth er day I met a stalwart young fellow whose every appearance would Indicate he was a ‘son of the soil,’" says a writer in Farm and Fireside. "Six years ago he left the old home. At that time he had very little education, but by steady, industrious labor he has 'won out,’ and today is a promising young lawyer. He told me that the first year he left the farm he obtained employment in a machine shop at what seemed to his mind a large sum of money, SJ.2 a week. He worked hard for nearly three months, when one day he received a telegram from his father asking hint to return at once. “Having left a delicate little mother, he rushed home with all haste, fearing to find some trouble at the end of his journey. His father met him at the sta tion and calmly explained that his hired man had left and he could not get his hay in alone. My young hero, not daunt ed in the least, informed his father that he had given up his job to return home and asked what pay he was to receive for his work. The father promised a cer tain small sum. After two months’ hard work the son asked for money to buy a suit of clothes and received It. At the end of the season, when the young man wanted a final settlement, he was put oft from time to time, and at last went away to the city with an empty pocket and a heart full of resentment."
