The Unttod Kingdom has coloniesand possessions whose area la equalto more than twenty-seve- n times herown size.

Among; the ruins of Pompeii havebeen found chafing dishes of exquisiteworkmanship, which give undisputedproof of their iise In the city, whichcontained villas of many wealthy Ro-

mans.

Northern Indiana farmers are ex-

perimenting In the domestication ofquail. During the winter the birds arefed regularly, and on some of the farmsthey have become so tame that theyroost with the barnyard fowls.

The watchfulness of members of con-

gress is not always rewarded In a wayanticipated. Two resolutions recentlyoffered in the house requested the pres-ident to return to that body two pri-

vate pension 'bills. A member of In-

quiring mind wished to know whatwas the defect In the bills. "There tano defect," was the reply. "The bene-ficiaries are dead."

Quite m remarkable as the wreckingof the Pacific Mail line steamship Riode Janeiro Just at the entrance to SanFrancisco harbor on Feb. 22 is the to-

tal disappearance of the wreck. Divershave explored large areas of the bot-tom of the sea at the point where thewreck is supposed to have occurred,but not the slightest trace of the

snip has been found.

One of the most prominent Baptistpreachers In the vicinity of New Yorkhas made it a practice in all his pas-

torates to write his resignation withina week of his entrance upon a newfield, sign, and deliver it to theproper official with the remark:"There, now! Never ask ms for myresignation. Whenever you want meto go Just break open the envelop,writo In a date to the document andoffer it to the congregation."

The recent appointment of GeneralChaffee as major-gener- al Is the firstinstance of a private attaining thatrank in the regular army of the Unit-ed States. "I should know that Chaf-fee was not educated at West Point,"commented a military visitor at thereview of American troops in Chinalast summer. "Pie is so unused to full-dre-

uniform that he has his sash overthe wrong shoulder." It was true,and all the more honor to him for hissuccess.

A recent importation of foreignersagainst which no one will be likely totake exceptions, except, perhaps, thenatives they have come to destroy, hasbeen graciously received and welcomedby the quarantine officer of the Cali-

fornia State Board of Agriculture atSan Francisco. The newcomers are aconsignment of tachina flies fromthe grasshopper tribe their wholesaleexterminators, in fact, wherever found.They came as cold storage passengersand with them came a large number ofladybugs, for -- ervlce in clearing theorchards of red scale the pest of fruitgrowers. The files are to be releasedIn May. They will make short workof the grasshoppers, which swarm atthat tiTie.

A college professor, reading LordRaylelgh's "Theory of Sound" a fewyears ago, became particularly Inter-

ested in that part which relates to thovibration of cords. . He began to studythe waves which travel along a cordwhen one end is shaken, and then toexperiment with cord3 loaded at In-

tervals with weights, and vibrating in

air or water. What could he hope to

learn from such Investigations? WViat

practical results werj to.be looked for?He could not toll, nor could any one

else have told. Yet he studied the sub-

ject for five years. The-fact- he dis-

covered make it probable that tele-

phone communication may take place

tinder three thousand miles of sea, and

the professor has sold his invention for

balf a million dollars.

The German army has furnished an-

other terrible Illustration of what duel-

ing means. An Infantry captain proe-tn- t

at an officer's dinner took offense

at the innocent but rough horse-pla- y

o." an army surgeon, and struck him.

He then retired to his quarters. In a

little while two officers representingthe surgeon appeared with a challenge.Before they could deliver It a brotherof the surgeon entered and shot the

captain dead. His excuse was that hesacrificed himself to save his brother,the surgeon, who had a wife and chil-

dren, and could hardly hope to sur-

vive a duel with the offended captain,a noted pistol-sho- t. Such an Incidentmust come home with peculiar force

to the emperor, who has frankly com-

mended dueling In the army as theproper way for a soldier to protect hla

"honor."

A Legal Affair.

BY GUY A. JAMIESON.(Copyright, 1901, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)

The little sign screaked monoton-ously as it swayed back and forthIn the wind. In fact. It was the onlysign of animation for two blocks, bara rival sign across the street thatscreaked and swayed Just as vehe-mently, and to as little purpose. TheBign Id question Informed tho public,or would have, had there beena public, that John D. Marberry wasan attorney and real estate agent, andthat he had a choice lot of residence,business, farm and ranch property forsr.le or rent on easy terms. The triKiiis, the town of Archer waB for sale orrent on easy terms; and the few fami-lies, who had not already leu for a lessdrouthy country, remained from neces-sity more than choice.

John D. Marberry, who had comeWest to grow up with the country,was, at the very time of which I write,sitting in a small, hot, dusty office be-

neath the screaking sign, gazing ab-

stractedly up the deserted street, outto the interminable stretch of parchedprairie. When he located in Archerit was on a "boom"; immigration waspouring into the county, the Rettaand Taw R. R. had been surveyed tothe town, and everything indicatedan era of development and prosperity.But, for some reason, not known tothe public, the road was not built;and short crops and two years ofdrouth had caused, to use an expres-

sion usually applied to such condi-

tions, the whole bottom to drop out.John D. Marberry's thoughts were

not as abstract as his appearance. Infact, they had a very practical trend.He was thinking seriously of sellingout, lock, stock and barrel, if such anexpression is applicable to the lawand real estate business, and movingback East. He had made a bad venture, he had been disappointed, hewas heartily tired of the dry monot-ony of things. The West held but oneattractlou for him and but for saidattraction this story would not have

' been written. He had met Mies OlaMann, and that meant that he hadfallen under the spell of her charmingpersonality. MIbs Ola was the daugh-- !ter of a rich old rancher, who num-- Ibered hiB acres and cattle by thethousands. In the active out-do- life

j she had led she had developed into asuperb specimen of the western worn-- ;an she was beautiful, cultured,wealthy. Therein lay the perplexityof the caBe. Marberry felt himself a

I man of parts, chat he had a future,but, for tho present, he was stranded.He had often thought over the matteras he tossed restlessly nights, and ashe sat dejected in the stuffy little of-

fice watching the dust drift down thedeserted street. To presumptuously,boldly speak his mind and put an endto the consuming uncertainly, ormove Eist, establish himself, andwrite that was the question. Once,as he returned from a Fourth of Julycelebration, where he, as the oratorof the occasion, had covered himselfwith g.ory, he had been on the point

'Mann has made an assignment."if an avowal of his love, but Miss Olaaad Beemed to parry his words, andbeing proud, sensitive, he bad re-

mained silent.But, now, his mind was made up.

He Jerked his chair to the desk andbegan to prepare an inventory of hlaoffice fixtures, books, etc. The workcompleted, he walked across the greetto the rival sign. Taylor, the owner,had invested pretty heavily in realestate and would likely remain, asthere was no prospect of his disposingof it for some years. He could sellhis plunder to him; if not, why, hewould take it with lii.u

Taylor was looking over the laBtissue of the Archer Star, a copy hehad taken from the press, strictlyagainst the rules of the office, onlyten minutes before.

"Well, I guess, the worst has hap-pened," he began, looking up from

I

the paper anil motioning Marberry toa chair.

"What Is It?" asked Marberry."Mann has made an assignment.""Can't be true,""That's what the paper says."Marberry folded the inventory

slowly and pushed It into his pocket.He walked over to the Star office

and talked to Tooly. On hlg depart-ure he took a paper from the mailing-desk- ,

then went to the poBtofflco andgot another out of his box. Prof.Bennet was reading the Star to acrowd of six. The "assignment" wasthe local of interest. Another item,Marberry had overlooked, was also re-

ceiving Its share of comment. MissOla Mann had secured a position inthe Archer school. Prof. Bennet tes-tified to the truth of the last bit ofnews.

John D Marberry walked across thestreet with a new buoyancy In Ms step,tearing the Inventory into bits and

"I have something to say. Miss Olga."

casting It on the hot wind. He en-

tered hi? .office and took down theduster that had been taking a pro-tracted rest. Every book and piece offurniture was gone over carefully and

When he sat down tohis desk again there was a tidy andprosperous appearance about the roomthat it had not worn since the days ofthe railroad boom. John D. Marberryhad finally determined that the fate ofArcher should be his fate sink orswim, survive or perish he wouldremain in Archer.

He went industriously to work onan abstract of the county, an under-taking he had given up some weeksbefore from sheer discouragement.

He was still writing when a buggyrolled up to the door. He looked up,surprised at the Interruption. MissOla greeted him cordially. He has-tened out to assist her from the buggy.If her father's financial embarrass-ment weighed heavily on her mind,she was successful, Indeed, in conceal-ing it. She was the same fresh, sen-sible, charming Miss Ola.

"I have Just read - the- - 4Rr, MissOla," began Marberry, when they wereseated. "You'll pardon me for refer-ring to it, and allow me "

"Excuse me," broke in Mfss Ola;"bi't please do not mention it. 'There'snothing to be sorry for we Btlll havethe home place and, you know, I havesecured a position in the school. Afterall, what is a little more or less property? Here are some papers fathertold me to hand to you. He wishesyou to look over them." She rose togo. Marberry rose also.

"I have something to say to you,Miss Ola," he began, stepping nearer;"something I would have said before)this had it not been for certain cir-

cumstances and which, but for certainother circumstances, I would not saynow."

Miss Ola resumed her seat."I aesire you to know, Mlsa Ola," he

continued hesitatingly; "that I loveyou."

Miss Ola'B eyes were on the floor,roses came and went on her cheeks.Then, shtt looked up sweetly and said:

"I'm sure, Mr. Marberry, I'm not dis-pleased."

Not a single client dropped In toInterrupt the conversation that fol-

lowed. But then. If there had beenclients in Archer It would not havehappened JUBt as it did.

The rival Bign across the street wasstill, screaking and flapping fruitlesslywhen Marberry and his visitor steppedinto the buggy and rolled off.

Taylor eyed them critically over thecorner of his paper. There was some-thing telltale about his rival thatcaused his thoughts to go wanderingback to a sunny day now burled,with many other bright things, in thepast when he had entered the landwi.ere Love is king.

"There'll soon be another local Inthe Star," he mused, and his thoughtsdrifted back to silent streets, scurcuedprairie, and bad investments.

A few months later there was a quietwedding out at Mann's Ranch. Tooly,of the Star, was best man. Taylorcongratulated his rival heartily. Mar-

berry well, Marberry was happy.Archer Is no longer a deserted vil-

lage, but a thriving western metropo-lis. The screaking sign that flappedabove Marberry's office has long sinceceased to screak. Marberry occupieselegant rooms above Manu and Mar-berry's bank. Those who write himuse the prefix "Hon."

All tim-ber that was to be planned by machin-ery was sent to a shop where there wasa circular planer and saws, the pro-prietor of which confined his attentionentirely to planing and sawing forcarriage, wagon and cabinet factoriesand carpenters and builders. Threeyears later an enterprising machinistset up a head knife for dressing up theheavy timbers, and the woodworkersIn the cities began to get rid of somepf his heaviest work, but he of thecountry shop sawed out his shafts,poles, felloes, etc., by hand.

teen woodworkers. Through the centerof this shop was a row of fine chop-ping blocks, with their broadaxes forhewing heavy timbers, spokes, etc.Tho axle makers (the axles being allof wood), the wheel makers, the bodymakers and the men of all work oc-

cupied benches In the one shop. Nota piece of power machinery was used;even the grindstone had to be turnedby the youngest apprentice; menworked eleven and twelve hours aday. The best wheel maker was ableto make one set of buggy wheels aweek. The man who made a singleseat phaeton body of a pattern similarto the "Queen" In one week was look-ed upon as a marvel of speed, and allother work was accomplished In aboutthe same proportion of time. Wagesranged from 17 to $12 a week, exceptfor the wheel makers; these got S2 to$4 more, according to their skill andspeed. The apprentice boy received$25 a year and his board for the firstyear, and $35, $50 and $85 a year forthe three years thereafter.

When the labor hours were reducedto eleven a day the year around em-ployers cut down wages accordingly,and there was a visible reduction inthe yearly output. The life of the

BUFFALOESALMOST EXTINCT

Tho American buffalo Is fast disap-pearing from the earth. It Ib estimatedthat there are now remaining alive inthe world only 1,024 of these noblebeasts, 684 of which are in captivity.But it Ib not possible to be exact insuch a statement, inasmuch as the wildsurvivors cannot be rounded up andcounted. In the densely wooded re-gions between the Saskatchawan andPeace rivers, In British Columbia, areseveral hundred buffalo; there aretwenty or so perhaps In the desertPanhandle region of northwest Texas,and in the Yellowstone national parkthere are fifty or sixty more, it isbelieved. There are none at libertyanywhere else.

These few remaining wild bison areblng steadily reduced In number. InBritish Columbia they are beingkilled off gradually by the Indians,while those In the Yellowstone parkare potted by poachers whenever the

I MEN OF MIDDLE AGE I

Lt those who are young cease tovaunt themselves and they who ere ofmiddle age rejoice. Research hasproved that the human mind is at itsfullest power between the ages of 40

and 60. There are, of course, excep-

tions to this rule, such as Byron, theyoung Napoleon and Alexander, buttaking It "full and by" the prime ageof tho mind of man Is between 40 and(to. Swift was 49 when he wrote Gul-

came out Sir Walter Scott was44 years old, and nearly all of thosetales which have made his lasting fameas a novelist were written after he was46. Milton's genius made its lorti-es- t

flights when he was between 54 and69. It was between those years that hewrote Paradise iost.

I WONDERFUL ADVANCEMADE IN THEIR WORK. I

youngest apprentice was a hard one.He did about al the rough work thatno one else would do; after that hegot a bench, and then began to "learnhis trade," but with all his disadvan-tages he could, If he would, become anexpert workman, although he workedon the "cut and dry" rule. The work,however, was of the hardest kind andhis wages small, and these, smnll asthey were, were further reduced by hisbeing compelled to trade at tje villagetore. In this latter respect the Jour-

neyman was little better off.as he, too,traded at the store, and was fortunateindeed If he received $5 In mony eachweek. We can call to mind the boywho received $1.50 In money duringthe first year, and the Journeyman In

the same factory received $3 In cash aweek from January until July, andreplenished their impoverished pock-etboo-

by working in the harvestfields for the neighboring farmers.How different then and now! We enterthe carriage woodshop of today, andwe see nothing of the old-tim- e fittings,neither do we see the apprentice. Thewheel maker is missing, and inplace of rough plank and thick panelboards we find the workman suppliedwith his framework timber dressed ton thickness, and not infrequently en-

tirely dressed to pattern, his pnnclboards all planed to n thickness, andaround him nil manner of appliancesto facilitate his work. We aro not re-

ferring to the wholesale factory, whernmachinery fits almost everythingready for gluing or screwing togetherbut in the shop of the custom builderwe see power machinery that relleveathe workman of much of the heavylabor. The shop Is arranged to insurecomfort In winter as well as in sum-mer, and the sanitary conditions arosuch as to protect tho health of theworkmen. The manufacturer of todayhas learned the importance of caringfor the convenience, comfort andhealth of the employes. Wages are ar-

ranged on a more equitable basis; thestore order is a thing of the past; thewages earned are paid in cash, andtho workman is free to buy where hewill. His hours of labor are reducedand fixed by law. Not only are thewages higher than they were fiftyyears ago, but the buying power of theindividual dollar is, with the single ex-

ception of house rent, higher, and inevery way the worker is better situ-ated than he wan then.

LITTLE MORE THAN ATHOUSAND OF THESEANIMALS IN EXISTENCE

chance offers. A mounted head of oneof these animals is today worth from$150 to $200, and a skin brings a goodprice. Ten years ago there werenearly 400 buffalo In the park and Itis thought that the survivors can bepreserved only by corrallng them andreducing them to captivity.

C. J. Jones, better known as "Buf-falo" Jones, of Oklahoma, has a herdof over 100 full-bre- d buffalo, which hewishes to sell to the government. Aus-tin Corbln was the possessor of ninetybison, which have been more or lessscattered since his death, some ofthem having been presented to NewYork city. The animals, when kept Incaptivity, show a tendency to IncreaseIn numbers, and Buffalo Jones has pro-duced thousands of desirablo cross-breeds from his herd.

It is stated that there are not 110pure-bre- d American bison outside ofthis country.

How tit Helect (jurat.In entertaining small companies do

not make a mistake of inviting thesame people to meet each other toooften. If you have a party of six mus-ical people It will be enjoyable forthem to sing, play or talk music to oneanother once or twice. But rememberthat many people who can neither singnor play an instrument enjoy musicpassionately. Invite these s

to meet one or two of these whomake music. If you know two or threepeople who love books and reading,bring them together some evening. Askone of them to read aloud a new shortstory or magazine sketch, or an oldbut perhaps unfamiliar one. If youhave among your friends two goodstory-teller- s, do not invite them to en-tertain each other, but ask peoplewhom you know will enjoy theirstories to meet each from time to time.Everyone loves an appreciative listen-er, especially one who Is free from theuneasy spur of competition.

Queerest of Men's Clubs.The most unique of men's clubs has

recently been organized at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania. Its membership

blackballs, but by afoot rule. No mancan be elected amember unless hestands at least 6

feet in bis stock-ings. Furthermore,the membership ofthe club Is limitedto eighty feet. ThatIs, if the aggregateheight of the clubmembers reaches

that figure the club is filled, and otherapplicants must wait, unless under thefoot rule they prove to be taller thanthe shortest man who is already aclub member. In that case, the giantIs taken into the club, and the com-

parative dwarf retires to an associatemembership. In all matters whichcome before the club for action eachmember has one vote for each Inchhe stands above six feet In height. Toamend the constitution of the club re-

quires fifty-fo- feet, or two-thir- ofthe active membership of eighty feet,in Its favor. The founder of this clubof giants is John R. Marls of ChestnutHill, Pa., who Is 6 feet 4 Inches Inheight. The club's tallest member isMontgomery, a boy of 6 feet 10 Inches.At the next annual meeting of officersof the club he expects to be chosenSupreme Skyscraper.

trouble tuith Venezuela.Venezuela has been Independent for

Thedifferent constitutions it has had haverecognized the principles of free, dem-ocratic government as completely asdoes that of the United States, whichwaf. taken as a model. Nevertheless.Venezuela Is not yet a genuine repub-lic. It has not yet free institution';except on paper. It is not ruled bylaws, but by a despot While the ac-

count of the existing condition of af-

fairs in Venezuela printed in the NewYork Tribune last week may not be

correct in all its details, it is correctas to the main points. Kighteenmonths ago Clpriano Castro headed a

revolutionary movement, drcve outPresident Andrade. and installed him-self as dictator. There is a congress,but it Is made up of men chosen bythe dictator. There are Judges, but iftheir decisions do not suit him, hethrows them into prison and keepsthem there until they admit they werequite mistaken as to the law. All of-

ficials hold their places only so longas the dictator does not distrust them.Those whom he suspects he removes,and sometimes imprisons. During his'first month of power the dictator hada number of wealthy bankers andmerchants brought before htm and as-

"Russell Harrison's "Debt.It is claimed that the chief debt

of Russell B. Harrison to his father,all of which was remitted in the will,consisted of the amount expended infitting him out for service during theSpanish-America- n war. General Har-

rison wished to present his son withequipment, tut RuBsell would not ac-.r- pt

(t save as a loan. That loan wasnevef repaid end that is the debtwhicb was reniUied in tue will.

Ti)6 bequest of General Harrison ofhis sasb and sword to any posthumoussor that might y born is said by thisfriend of the former president to bedue to his desire to have these em-

blems of his military service descendto a me.-nt'- of the family bearing hisfull name. It appears that when Rus-e- ll

B. Harrison's son was born beand his father disagreed as to theuame the boy should have. The for-

mer president wished and utged thathe be given the name of Benjamin.Russell would not agree to this, butgave the boy the name of WilliamHenry Harrison, the name of his dis-

tinguished r. Thesash and sword will in all probability,daacend under the provisions of thewill to the general's vrandaon.

To Confound the Wise Men.On April 1, 1851, an April Fool party

was given at Newburg, N. Y. Amongthe guests were Edward Watkins anda young woman whom he had knownfor a year or two. It happened alsothat It was Mr. Watkins' twenty-fir- st

birthday. As he finished a dance withthe young womnn in question somefriends began to banter him and pro-posed that the couple should get mar-ried then and there as a sort of AprilFool Joke on themselves and the restof the world. They were willing, aminister was sent for, and the marriageceremony was performed. Mr. Wat-kln- B

took his bride home, and all thevillage gossips predicted that theywould be unhappy and would soonseparate. By way of confounding theircritics, almost all of whom are dead,Mr. and Mrs. Watkins celebrated thefiftieth anniversary of their weddingo'i April 1, 1901, at their home inWllllamsport, Pa. Their four childrenand a number of grandchildren metwith them to help In the celebration.Mr. and Mrs. Watkins Joined the Bap-tist church seven years after they weremarried.

A Famous Churchman.Very Rev. Frederick W. Farrar, dean

of Canterbury, was, when taken 111

lately, 70 years old. He was ordained

BISHOP FARRaR.deacon in 1854 by the bishop of Salis-bury, and three years later was ad-

mitted into holy orders by the bishopof Ely. Until 1871 he was one of themasters at Harrow, and for five yearsthereafter was head master of Marl-borough college, a position he heldwith great distinction. Among hisother offices was that of honorary"haplain to the queen and chaplain inordinary. In 1883 he was appointedarchdeacon of Westminster, and in1895 he was appointed dean of Canter-bury. Dean Farrar has written vol-

uminously upon religious topics, buthis fame will rest upon his "Life ofChrist," which was published In 1874.

Se-Oerit- at Castle Garden.According to the law, an alien who

goes from this country to Europe anilreturns must be inspected and passedupon as rigidly as a new immigrantWhen the Germanic arrived at NewYork the other day it had on board aweil-to-d- o Philadelphia merchant, Al-

bert Prlestman. who had been abroadto buy goods. Though Mr. Prlestmanhas lived In Philadelphia fifteen years,lias married an American wife and isthe father of several children born Inthis country, he has not taken advan-tage of the opportunity to become adtizen of the United States, not car-ing to relieve himself of allegiance to:he British crown. Accordingly hewas inspected to see whether he wasliable to become a public charge andhence should not be allowed to enterthe country. The official of the ma-

rine hospital service who examinedhim discovered that he had an arti-ficial left arm, and though Mr. Prlest-man brought proof of his businessstanding and showed the officials a cer-

tified check for $10,000, they Insistedthat he must be detained on Ellis is-

land for examination and investiga-tion. In vain did Mr. Prlestman pro-test that he had been across the oceana dozen times before with this sameartificial arm, or that he would fur-nish bonds for his appearance. Finallyhe was paroled over night in custodyof the superintendent of the steamshipline, and the next morning he wascompelled to undergo an examination.

Alcoholism and Microbes.There is nothing new in the recent-

ly vaunted animal experiments atParis showing that lower grades ofliving creatures if alcoholized are moresensitive to disease than others oltemperate habits. Alcoholized animalsare unable to resist Infection with thebacilli of consumption, cancer, diph-theria aud kindred diseases. The prog-eny of alcoholized guinea pigs haveproved so weak that they live but ashort time or are born dead.

Medical h;tory abounds In corrob-orative proofs that intemperancecurses not oily its practitioners buttheir offspring, the curse moral gener-ally accompanying the curse physical.In times of contagion persons whohave lived abstemiously prove moreable to withstand exposure or recovermore quickly and more completelyfrom any form of pestilence.

"Doctor May "Refuse Services.Recent decisions of the hlgner courts

In cases affecting the practice of medi-

cine are interesting to the general pub-

lic as tending to settle questions thathave always been more or less con-

troversial.It has always been contended that a

physician Is morally bound to attendany patient for whom he Is called.Failure to respond when called Is gen-

erally regarded as a violation of medi-

cal ethics. It is well known, however,that many physicians do not assent to

this vle-- and reserve the right to re-

fuse attendance even in cases of seri-

ous emergency. Deaths have beencaused by the refusal of physicians to

render medical assistance at a criticaltime when other physicians could notbe found. Whatever may be the moralobligation the Indiana Supreme courthas Just rendered an opinion in a testcase to the effect that a physician is

not legally bound to attend a patientfor whom he Is called, no matter howurgent or desperate may be the case.Ar Indianapolis doctor was summonedthree times to attend the wife of a

prominent citizen. He refused to go,

and was finally importuned by the sickwoman's pastor, who offered to pay thefees In advance. The physician remained obdurate and the patient died.

tl)'or Id's Fair Mayor.Rollo Wells, newly elected mayor of

St. Louis, whose term of office will ex-

tend over the world's fair of 1903, Isgenerally regarded as the visible evi-

dence qf the political power of for- -

ROLLO WELLS,mer Governor David R. Krancs. Mr.Wells and Mr. Francis have knowneach other almost from boyhood, andhave similar opinions as to what con-

stitutes democracy. The election of

Wells Is taken as having a nationalsignificance, the more so when it isconsidered that Mr. Francis' connec-

tion with the world's fair will giTe

him tho advantage of close contactwith the big men of the south. The

new mayor Is the head of a steel foun-

dry, which employs upwards of 2.000

men. He is 45 years old, a native of

St. Louis. This Is bis first plunge

Into politics, and his great success Is

due, not alone to his strong backing,

but to hlB personal popularity. Mr.
