There came @ season, however, when visiting sports- men were few, whdg there was little boat- ing business even for the energetic and active, and Johnn! not lay up any- thing for the follo1 iH summer. Times got dreadfully non with him, and in the fall he went to & rho keeps a store at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee. “Mr. S.," he said, “i'm goin’ to put in er crap o° termatoes, an’ want you to, trust me fur er grubbin’ hoe an’ th’ seed.” “Why, Johnnie,” said Mr. -S., “you'll get tited tefore you afe through planting; 2nd as to holding out and cultivating the crop, you'll never do it in-the world.” “Oh, yes, I will,” said Johnnie. “I've jes’ got to hey some money,'an’ hev made up my mind to make th’ crap, ef so be’s you'll let me hev the hce an’ seed; an’ I'll bring hit all to you to ship; so’s you'll git yer money back.” “But, Johnnie, you don’t own a foot of land. ‘Where are you going to make your crop?” “I doesn’t hev to own th’ lan’. There's er plenty of hit down the const. I've already picked out er good piace—belongs to th’ government, mebbe. Hit. won't hurt rit none for me to Grap hit, an’ I'll leave hit all thar when I’m dcne.”* The matter ended by Mr. S, letting him have the hoe and seed. Telling of it after- ward, he said: “I never expected to hear of the seed and hoe again, or rather I never expected to be paid for them; nor did I see Johnnie again for some months. But, bless you! in January he came sailing in with a load of tomatoes for me to ship, and continued bringing them until the crop was off. I shipped for htm, in all, 150 crates. They brought him $3.75, net, per crate in New York, making a total of $562.50—pretty good returns, I should say, on the capital invested:- I asked him how many days of actual labor he had per- formed in making: and handling the crop. He said, after thinking awhile, ‘Well, first an’ las’, I must a’ worked fifty days.’ His crop. therefore, paid him at the rate of $11.25 a day for his labor, which wasn’t bad for a green hand.” Moving a Big Building. From the Kansas City Star. A new and interesting experiment is to be tried at the stock yards by a local firm of house movers. The 125x150 foot two- story brick boarding stable owned by the stock yards company, located at 17th and Bell streets, is being raised and will be moved one block north on the site where the old Colorado Hotel was torn down during the last few days. To raise the structure required the use of 400 jack- screws and to move it 500 rollers will be used. The movers are to receive $3,000 if they successfully locate the building on the new site and they have given a bond to protect the yard company against dam- age to the building. The barn is a sub- stantial stable and originally cost $22,000. It will require nearly four weeks to com- plete the work. The moving of the huge stable intact at the stock yards 18 the biggest job of its kind undertaken in. this city. It is made all the more difficult, the contractors say, because of the numgrous double doors and windows, but the men in charge are con- fident that the wok can be done in the time set without accident. The ground vacated by the barn is to be utilized in reconstructing the yards on Missouri sofl, as was pwbiished in the Star two weeks ago. The hog and sheep yards now located on the Kansas side of the line will be rebuilt. where>the present horse and mule barns stand. ———+e+- A portrait — of Eugene Field is to be erected on the campyg of the University of Missouri at Bedal fe a be of bronze on a pedestal of Missouri red granite; the poet will be represented as seated at a table in the act of ‘Wtitlhg, and the figure is of heroic size. wn is VALUE OF FORESTS. storms from the west which sweep up along the lake valley. Meeting the at- mosphere cushioned against the mountain forests, they are turned from their course. Weather observers note continually the fact that storms which are reported as coming along the lakes from the west do not reach this section, having been divided by this atmospheric obstruction, and branches go- ing down the St. Lawrence and Monawk valleys. The complete denudation of the Adirondack mountains of their forest would undoubtedly make a disagreeable climatic change here. It would subject this strip of territory to more severe storms, greater heat in summer and more intenge cold in winter. Their presence modifies extremes and preseryes a more equitable climate. When one gets as far as Richmond on the south or into Canada on the north, espe- cially in winter, one can see the differenée very quickly. The storm belt and deep snow belt is reached, while in this vicinity there may have been neither storms or ex- cessive snowfalls. Weather observers at- tribute these better conditions to the forest- clad mountain chain which backs this lo- cality on the east. This is a very impor- tant point, locally, in desiring the preserva- tion of these forests. Such a plan as that recommended by Governor Black not only preserves the water power, conserves the supply of timber for lumber and wood pulp purposes through all time, but has a large and beneficial effect on climatic conditions. Dreyfus Bibliography Growing. From the New York Times, A play has just been produced in Am- sterdam founded on the Dreyfus case. One of the scenes shows the ex-captain of artillery shut up in an iron cage. A novel, gathering its theme from the same source, has made its appearance in Berlin. It is published anonymously, and the author shows that not only is Dreyfus innocent, but that Count Esterhazy is also. The guilty person is—a woman, Marcelle de C. In the meantime, the Russian press is supporting the cause of Gen. Billot, the minister of war, and his associates in a perfunctory manner. St. Petersburg journalists, possibly inspired, declare Drey- fus to be guilty because the Conseil de Guerre, composed of gentlemen and sol- diers, has found him to be so. To ques- tion its verdict is to impeach the honor of the army. There is a pungent odor of the principle “that the king can do no wrong” in it all. That is what the heads of the French army crave just now, and they get it—from certain sources. —-o+___ Decline of Rac From the New York Tribune. Official statistics are quoted showing that the birth rate in France has fallen from 33 per 1,000 at the beginning of the century to 22 per 1,000, or less than the death rate. In some of the United States, however, this matter is even more serious, it would ap- pear. Thus, the birth rate in Nevada is given as 16.30 per 1,000, Maine, .17.99;-New Hampshire, 18.4, and Vermont, -18.5, while California, strange to say, has a birth rate of 19.4 per 1,000, or nearly 12 per cent less than chat of France—a fact which, in view of the favorable climate, ample area and diversity of interest and employment char- acteristic of the state, is most striking. Following California is Connecticut, which has a birth rate of 21.3 per 1,000, Mas chusetts, 21.5, while Rhode Island has 2 or a somewhat higher rate than the French; then Wyoming, with its 21.8, comes between Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and Oregon figures at 22.5. These data, it is asserted, show that within a period vary- ing from sixty to two hundred years, ac- cording to circumstances, the Anglo-Saxon race of inhabitants of New England and the Pacific coast will be replaced by an- other. t he ==> = The Busy Corner, - Bth ‘aiid Market Space.
