bilities aggregating $3,000,000. A petition1
asking that a receiver be appointed was
filed In the United States court by an at
torney for the Old Colony Trust company,
which holds a mortgage for the amount of
the liabilities.
Homer Lortng, president of the railroad,
and Parley Sheldon, a banker of Ames,
were appointed a receivers of the com
pany, each filing a bond of $50,000.
James C. Davis, attorney for the peti
tioners, staled that the necessity of the
ct'on was brought about by reason of
some extended Improvements undertaken by
the company, stringency of the money mar
ket, the general depreciation of railroad
securities and tho Inability of the company
to market Its bonds.
Recently It issued $500,000 worth of bonds
with which money It Intended to build a
new power house and make other Improve
ments, but the bonds found no buyers In

Assistant Attorney General Charles Vf.
Lyon today received from Attorney Gen
eral Wlckersham a telegram declining to

ranted in doing so. A conference was
held and plans laid for starting suit

the government, If that can be done, to
prevent collection of the higher rail rates.

LONDON, June 4. (Special Cablegram.)
The average London sporting editor may
have the fighting qualities of James J.
Jeffries or Jack Johnson down to a fine
point, but it must be admitted that they
are rusty on American history. One Lon
don paper gravely announced the following
a day or so ago:
"It was Thomas Jeffries, the patriot, who
drafted the famous statement of Ameri
can Independence on July 4, 1776. A hun
died and thirty-four years afterwards his
namesake, James Jeffries, the pugilist. Is
culled upon by his sporting countrymen to
demonstrate tho supremacy of the white
man over the black man. In what Is com
monly called the noble art of self-defense.
Whether glove fights aie 'noble,' or 'Ig
noble,' spectacles Is a controversial point
with which I have nothing here to say."

Mrs. Cleveland is
Not Very Anxious
For the Ballot
Returning; from France, the Widow
of Former President Talks of
Suffrage for Women.
NEW TORK, June 4. (Special Tele
gram.,) Mrs Grover Cleveland, who ar
rived from Europe with her childres to
spend the summer In New Hampshire,
and who has been visiting in this city,
says that her boy ami girls take up so
much of her time that she really hasn't
a minute to think of suffrage, or what
she would do with' the ballot If aha had
It. In a word Mrs. Cleveland is not a
suffraget.-
The widow of Orover Cleveland is de
voting her life to the care of her chil
dren an.t Just at present i thinking more
of their education than she is of storm
ing congress .for enfranchisement -urs.
Cleveland has four children, Esther,
Frances Qrover and Marlon, girls, and
Richard Folsom Cleveland. For eight
months Mrs. Cleveland had them abroad
in a school In France.
"Really I know so little about the suf
frage movement that I am not qualified
to say a word about It," said Mrs.
Cleveland when asked for her views upon
the burning topic.
"There are many good and intellectual
people who are working very hard for
the ballot, I am told, but personally I
have no Interest in that. My time has
been taken up with the care of my chil
dren and while I might vote If I could,
I must confess that I have not studied
the question of suffrage from all its
angles.
"When Mr. Cleveland was president, I
was naturally In an atmosphere of poll
utes, but I saw nothing so alluring in
politics that I should spend my time
attempting to secure the right to vote.
Women should be good wives and moth
ers first and then they would not care
to be politicians. Many women know as
little of this ouestlon as I.
."AS I say, I have been abroad for
nearly a year; I am glad to get back,
for I love America the best of all and I
am never happier than wiien I am in my
native land. It was merely for the sake
of my children's education that I went
abroad. I wanted them to know French,
for I believe that will be a necessity in
a generation."

"Yes, ma'am: a pioneer," was the reply.
"Now, Johnny." said the teacher to an
other small pupil, "what Is a pioneer?"
"An old man who pays his debts."
The family next door had a new dog, and
small Ethol was admiring It. "Be careful,"
said the woman, "or he may bite you."
Why should he bite me?" ajikel Ethel.

say "Get behind me, Satan," when tempted
to do wrong.
One day after the father suddenly asked:
"Walter, what do you do when tempted to
do wrong?"
"Why." he replied. "I Just think of you
and say, 'Satan, go away back and sit
down.' "
"Bobbv," said his mother, "sit up straight
and don't tuck your napkin under your
chin. I've told you hundreds of times "
"There!" exploded Tommy; "you've made
me lose the count! I don't know now
whether It's 266 or 250 times I've chewed
this clam!"
"Johnnie," said the Sunday school
teacher, "who Is It that keeps a watchful
veye upon us all the time, who tells us
what we should do, who commends us
when we do right, and cautions and
punishes us when we do wrong, who knows
everything?"
"Teddy Roosevelt," promptly answered
the bright lad. '

JOKES THAT ANIMALS CRACK
Investigators Ready with glories to
Prove Their Sense of
Ilnmnr.
For, some time back the question, "Have
animals a sense of humor?" has been under
discussion by a group of men of an In
quiring bent of mind. The members of the
group decline to make their names publlo
until they have something In the way of
results to show. Even then, they say, they
may let the results speak for themselves
without disclosing the Identities of the In
vestigators. Meantime they have been
forming theories based on their combined
experiences. One of the most enthuslastlo
members of this coterie said last week that
ha believes the positive side of the proposi
tion to be pretty well proved.
"I am certain that some dogs have a
sens of humor," be continued, "and it
Is more apparent in some breeds than in
others.' Does any one ever stof) to think,
when he sees the saronlo smile on the face
of a bulldog as he noses the shrinking
legs of a passerby, who tries to walk along
unconcernedly, that the bulldog probably
enjoyes the humor of the situation in his
own way? 1 have seen a dog sitting In a
dark doorway, paying no attention to any
one who passed till a man absorbed In
thought came along. Then he rushed out
unexpectedly, barking clamorously and
startled the man until he nearly fell, then
trotted back and waited to have his next
Joke with some other unwary passerby.
"Here Is the case of a waggish dog which
I saw myself. He was a Scotch collie and
if ever a dog waa a humorist a collie is.
With a party of friends I was sitting on
the face of a green grown hill, sloping
down to a small lake or pond in front of
which was a beaten pathway. The collie,
who had the Irish name of Barney, be
longed to my brother, who was In the
party, and was lying curled up at his feet.
"A. peddler came along and coming a
little way up the hill asked for the time.
Barney looked at him lazily, blinking in
a sleepy way, and the man when he was
told the time Went down to the path and
sauntered along. He stopped for a minute
or so and stood in a stooping -position to
look at something in the pond.
"Suddently Barney, who had been water
ing him, wagged his tail slowly, which was
his custom when he had. an, , Idea. He
rushed quickly down the hill and putting
his fore pawa on the peddlerVback pushed
him Into the water. Barney, then rushed
back and lay down again before the peddler
realised what had happened to him, The
water was only a few feet deep and when
the man scrambled out, drenched through
and wiped the water from his eyes, the
look of astonishment on his face was
laughable, though the whole thing was an
outrage. We were all seated In the same
position as we were when the man looked
at us first, when he asked for the time, and
Barney was apparently asleep and looked
as if he had not moved. Thoroughly mys
tified, the peddler looked at us again, but
could make nothing of it and went away
shaking his head. Now if that dog was
not a Joker I don't know a Juke.
"I generally find that mongrel dogs,
when they happen to be sociable, have a
keen sense cf humor. An aristocratic dog
with a pedigree may have " some in
herited smartness, but has no originality.
A common yellow dog with no ancestry
to speak of, who has to gain his living
by his wits, couldglve him cards and spades
at his own tricks In two lessons.
"Once I took Into the house out of pity
a mongrel yellow dog, who insisted on
Installing himself at my doorstep and
always came back, no matter how often
he was chased away. I had at that' time
a pedigreed water spaniel, and 1 tried to
teach him some tricks, when I took him
out along a quiet road at times. The yel
low dog, who made friends with him,
always came along and beat the water
spaniel at his own tricks without training.
Then he began to playtrlcks of his own
on the spaniel. When he had a bone he
looked out for his cdmrade, and when he
saw him loping along he would lay the
bone In his path and disappear. The span
iel always made for the bone, but the yel
low dog, Just at he was about to grab It,
would dart from his hiding place and seis
ing it run off With U. This happened over
nd over again, but the high bred span
iel never tumbled to the Joke.
"You may laugh if you like, but I once
saw a Jackass with a sense of humor. No
I'm not fooling; I mean a real Jackass.
When I was at school as a boy In a country
town the shootmaster on a fine day would
bring the pupils Into the yard, where we
played during recess, for a singing lesson.
He started them sifglng "The Star Span
gled Banner" one day In parts. Part of
thye yard was cut out of a hill, and this
waa faced with a stone wall, forming one
of the boundaries of the yard high enough
to form a parapet a few feet higher than
the hill. Behind the parapet this par
ticular Jackass stood, while we were sing
ing, his neck craned over and his ears
cocked as if he were listening to the music.
The boys had hard work to keep straight
faces when they looked at him. After the
class finished singing there was quiet for
a minute and the ass opening his mouth
gave a loud 'hee-haw' and galloped away.
If, thai wasn't a Joke I'm a sinner."

Mr. Orio Taniura, as we will call our
young gentleman, Is about 20 years old. He
Is an up-to-daU Japanese, and has put
off all thoughts of matrimony until this
comparatively late date for Japan In
order to finish his university studies. Now,
however, he has finished his training, and
has Intimated to hla father, as a dutiful
son should, that he would like to marry.
That Is all he Is required to do at present,
it Is the business of his parents to take
the next step.
Orlo'a father, presumably, has some quiet
talks with his wife on the subject, and
then betakes himself to a professional
matchmaker, or go-between. These mar
riage brokers are a class apart-discreet
men of tho world, with a good deal of In
sight into human nature. For the sake of
hla own reputation and future the go-between
usually does his best to please all
parties.
Sometimes fcn the east as In the west,
love laughs at restraints, and somebody or
other conveys a hint to the marriage
borker that a meeting between Mr. A
and Miss Z might not be Unacceptable
to both, in which case his task is easy.
Usually, however, he takes time to look
around him, and he In turn how indls
penable the women are in these matters
consults his wife. At last, after carefully
considering the official and social posi
tion of the persons and families Interested,
he suggests that a certain MIhs Chrysan
themum would make a mnt desirable bride
for the "learned son of the honorable
house of Taniura."
Once more Orio's father consults his
wife and sundry other relations, and, hav
ing no fault to find with the go-between's
suggestion, instructs the latter to proceed.
The marriage broker's next step is to ap
proach the parents of the young lady he
has in view and arrange a formal appoint
ment for mutual inspection It Is known
as. the "look-at-cach-other . meeting" be
tween the prospective bride and bridegroom
at the house of the bride's father, and in
the presence of that gentleman and the
go-between himself.
The meeting usually takes the form of a
conventional tea party, at which the pros
pective bride does the honors. It is per
haps unnecessary to add that she does not
wear her oldest clothes on this occasion.
Here, for the first time In their lives, the
young lady and Orio set eyes on one an
other.' Etiquette forbids them to speak to
each other, but nevertheless they are
doubtless very busy "taking stock" of the
other's appearance and manners. World's

ONE ACRE , SUPPORTS THREE
Heal Intensive Farming, Npnrred by
Mother ceasltr In the
' ' Orient.
A humble-minded pilgrimage by an expert
was that of F. H. King of the Wisconsin
Agricultural College to China' and Japan
to study why their soils could support
three persons to the acre. Western scien
tific agriculturists have much to learn
from those farmers who have made the
soil respond for twenty, and perhaps even
forty centuries of service.
The average farm Is supporting three
persons to the acre and in nearly all parts
of the densely populated sections, two,
three, and sometimes four crops are taken
from the same field each year.
But this ta not the only cause of their
longer growing season. The almost uni
versal practice of planting nearly all crops
In rows and in hills in the row permits one
crop to be planted, germinated arid often
hoed before another crop has been removed
from the field, thus utilizing for growth
all of the time wo consume In removing
the harvest and in fitting the ground for
the next crop. Then there Is the other
very extensive practice of starting crops
in nurseries under conditions of Intense
fertilization, securing on a much smaller
area rapid growth and strong plants, which
are then transferred to the fields. In this
manner even the vast areas -covered by
the staple rice crop aro handled, the plants
being grown thirty or more days in small
beds, gaining thereby thirty to fifty days,
during which another crop on the same
field Is matured, harvested, and the ground
fitted for the one to follow.
Human labor Is tho one asset of which
they have an excess, and It Is freely used
In securing the effect of longer seasons,
which, because of their geographical posi
tion, exceed oursr1 In southern China two
crops of rice are regularly taken, and this
is true even In parts of Japan. In the
Cheklang province a crop of rape, of wheat,
of beans, or of green manure precedes the
summer crop of rice or of cotton. In the
Shantung province a crop of winter wheat
