tumorous Jcpartmrn.t The Prudent Princess.?Alonso Thompson, Justly known as "Denver's best-dressed young man," is to Inherit f from his father either (5 or $5,000,000, according as he succeeds or fails in business. T "It's hard to tell." said Mr. Thompson t the other day, "whether I am to go E through life like the old prince or like j the young prince. There's a story, you j know, about a prudent princess and ( two royal suitors. When it was an- | nounced that the princess had reached j a marriageable age, two princely suit- { ors presented themselves at court. "The first was very old and very i rich. He knelt on a rheumatic knee, kissed the princess's slim white hand, and wheezed: "'Ah, I would die for you!' "The princess smiled. 'Stand aside,' she said, and there was no displeasure in her voice. "Then the second suitor stepped forth. He was very young, very handsome, and very poor. Kneeling with gallant grace, he kissed the princess's hand in his turn and said: "'Ah, I would live for you!' "And again the princess smiled. " 'I am yours,' she said, and at the same time she beckoned to the old prince to draw near again. 'I am yours ?Just as soon as this old gentleman dies for me.'" Lincoln's Illustration.?Apropos of Lincoln's birthday and his recent brilliant analysis of Lincoln's character, Mayor Gaynor said the other day: "Lincoln never lacked an excuse for his unwillingness to proclaim the freedom of the slaves. "Once a delegation from New England waited upon him to urge an emancipation proclamation: but Lincoln said: " 'Such a proclamation at this time would be as ineffectual as a proclamation giving freedom and the vote to horses, cattle and chickens.' " 'By way of illustration, let me ask you, gentlemen, how many legs would a horse have if you called his tall a leg?' " 'Five, Mr. President,' a Boston divine answered promptly. " 'No,' said Lincoln, *you are mistaken?for calling a tail a leg does not make it one.'" Completely Pauperized.?In a discussion of the pauperizing effect of indiscriminate charity, Mrs. Russell Sage, whose charity is always wise, once said: "I used to know a good old clergyman who devoted over half of his income to the poor. "In this good clergyman's parish there was a man to whom he gave every week coal and flour, sugar and tea, potatoes and meat. Remembering how the clergyman had to deny himself in order to give so generously, a lady said to this pensioner one day: " 'Don't you think it's very good of Dr. Fifthly to look after you like this and give you all these nice things?' "The pensioner, who was lunching on the good old clergyman's bounty at the time, looked up with his mouth full of steak. " 'Good of him?' he exclaimed. 'Why, what's he fur?'" A Tight Place.?Colgate Hoyt, Jr., at a dinner in New York, told, apropos of Washington's birthday, a story about Washington. "When Col. Lee," he said, "was getting up a subscription for a monument to the Pater Patriae, he called on a certain rich man. "But the rich man refused to subscribe. " No, sir,' said ne. i see no nece??u> for a monument to Washington. His fame Is undying, sir. He is enshrined in the hearts of all his countrymen.' "'Is he enshrined in your heart?' asked Col. Lee. " 'He is, sir.' " 'Then all I have to say,' replied the colonel, 'is that he is in a tight place.'" A Costly Virtue.?"Uncle Joe" Cannon, apropos of Washington's birthday, said in Danville: "Washington was veracious. Veracity, I suppose, worked better in those days. It's a virtue now that often costs its owner dear. "A Danville man howled downstairs from his den the other night: " 'Who the dash-blank-asterisk went and broke my new meerschaum pipe?' "Little Willie, mindful of the approach of February 22, shouted back in cheery tones: " 'I done it, pop. I cannot lie.' "'You can't eh?' roared the father, rushing downstairs, strap in hand. 'Well, you won't be able to sit, either, j when I'm through with you, begosh!'" ? ? E A Figment Factory,?"Uncle Joe Cannon was condemning in Danville a dis- I credited mukraker. 1 "No wonder he's discredited." said t Uncle Joe. "If he couldn't make a mag- j azine sensation with one type of yarn \ about Standard Oil or sugar, then he'd } bring out another type of yarn. e "He reminds me of a tramp who told t a Danville woman a hard-luck story 1 about losing wife and family and home 1 in an explosion. r " But,' the woman said, 'that isn't t the same story you told me last week.' "'I know, lady,' said the tramp; 'but r you didn't believe last week's story.'" t Stiil There.?Robert had just receiv- I ed a whipping from his mother, who t afterward angrily burst in upon his h father as he was quietly reading the t evenine naDer. "I don't know where that child got t his vile temper from." she exclaimed, c throwing down a book; "no.t from me, I I'm sure." Her husband looked sadly and re- r 8ponded: "No, my dear; you certainly haven't lost any of yours."?Harper's Bazar. I - t Hit Nail on Head.? "What," asked r the Sunday school teacher, "is meant by bearing false witness against one's a neighbor?" "It's telling falsehoods about them." p said one smart maid. ii "Partly right and partly wrong." said s the teacher, according to Lippincott's. r "I know," said another little girl, c holding her hand high in the air.

Yorih Carolina Man Saya There la Big Money In It. He is a product of the mountains of vestern North Carolina. Over sixty p low, but a powerful, heavy set, healthy p ipecimen of six feet, weighing not less ;han 190. He has a florid, weather- ^ :anned complexion, and keen, shrewd fray eyes; a gruff, thick voice and a nn? nt volop that lmDresses the hearer '""v "" " m g that here Is a man of affairs, of decilion and determination. In Hendersonville his real estate c loldings are considerable and valuable, 8 'or it is the mecca of thousands of F wealthy southernerB during the entire c lummer, a beautiful and modern city >n a plateau nearly three thousand 'eet above the sea level. But long be'ore the summer visitors began build- * ng cottages, and before the big hotels ^ ind the boarding houses sprung up he vas the best known man not only in 0 rlendersonville, but in that section of a he state that embraced no less than r lalf a dozen counties. For he was a born trader. And be'ore the railroad went through from Spartanburg to Ashevllle (one of the 8 nost difficult to build railroads in America it was, too,) this man bought F "rom the natives their produce, paying :ash, and he loaned them money, and ie bought and sold land, and he hanlied tan bark and minerals, and most of P ill he paid them the highest prices ever d tnown for ginseng, or "sang," as they N jailed it a "Captain Toms." ^ Today one ca' go forty miles from B, :he railroad ana ask a native a quesA\ Ion about ginseng and ten chances to " >ne the answer will begin with "Capt. b Toms " So, there is on the door a >f his office, over the handsome bank P >ulldlng which he owns in Henderson- ^ *llle, the simple Inscription, "Capt. M. n 7. Toms," as if the reader could guess k :he rest about his money lending, gold P nlning, zlrconizlng, apple orchards, j( eal estate and other interests. ti So I found him one day this past s; lummer, and started him off on the J' lubject of ginseng. As I had heard 1 nany remarkable stories of his success w n cultivating the plant, I wanted to K earn at first hand whether it would be >ractlcable for one to Imitate his n nethods elsewhere, and the like. But w !hlefly I may say I had traveled fifty Q niles out of my way to ask him direct- b y as to the truth of a statement which ti had heard many times during several w 'ears, which was that he had realized ei torn a piece of ground 60 by 76 feet In ^ lis garden the sum of 11,100. It $25,000 Per Acre. tl "Yes, sir, that is Just about right," he * eplied. "The ground was 60 by 78, 0 ind the proceeds amounted to a few d [ollars over a thousand, or at the rate h >f $26,000 per acre. * "And how mucL ground have you in rlnseng now?" ei "Well, you know, it takes seven years r< or 'sang* to mature, so I figured on ^ Wanting an acre every year for seven 'ears, to get $26,000 a year after the ci leventh year, with, of course, a little j? >eside8 that after the third year from d he sale of seed." tl "What are seed worth?" tl "One cent each, or $1,000 a bushel. ^ a But you don't get any seed until the ,j >lant Is three years old, and then you t< lon't get a bushel from an acre." d "Then how long were you in getting ;he first acre planted?' "Oh, I got it planted in one year. 1 p jought the roots from the pepple over 11 his country. They found them growng wild in the woods everywhere, in q :he mountains." a "But more in some places than nth>rs?" I ventured to ask. f, "Yes, of course. Pinnacle mountain, tl ibout five miles from here, was the e jest locality for it, and I owned that nyself. But they cleaned It up in a a short while and sold me my own roots a it good prices." n "Why didn't you leave that In its na- e :ive surroundings for reserve?" a Cultivated Ginseng. o "Why, there's a thousand acres of c and in that tract and I had no- way ^ :o protect it. These people know it's a nine, but they have never been accus- n :omed to the idea of posted land, and * so I decided to let it rock along that t] vay rather than have them sell it tl somewhere else. So I got all I could set out for cultivation." a "Well, do they disturb the cultivated d finseng?" tl "They would if they could. But I r lave a man living right by it, working a >n shares with me, and we have a sevi U TTTV. 4+ la rii-iuut ichl'c aiuuuu u. ttuui u io vorth from six to twelve dollars a ^ >ound, you know, we have got to watch t pretty close." "Do you fence In the entire seven ^ teres?" p "No. Only the first acre I planted, rl n fact I never got the rest planted. The trouble was, we could not get p he cultivated ginseng to bear seed tl >roperly. And I find It so with the "< vild plant, too, these last few years. ^ ["he plant will grow nicely in the p iprlng and look promising enough, but 11 hen about the first of August the d' eaves begin to wilt and a week or two ater the plants look dead. Right now ny field is dried up and I won't get B wo quarts of seed off the whole acre." ^ "Perhaps it is blight," I answered, Ir easoning from experience with toma- v< o growing. P "Oh, yes, it's bi ght all right. And ^ 've used sprays of every kind and all Qj he remedies I ever heard of, but we si laven't been able to stop him, or even n( o find what he is Is." "You would give a thousand dollars, a] hen, for a remedy?" I thought he fe ould easily afford to make the offer. e} Jut he was tired of experimenting. * "I won't promise," he answered. "I m night run upon something still worse." o< The Ginsang Plant. What is meant by "something worse," could only guess. No doubt he was hlnking of the mountain saying, "The emedy is worse than the disease." "What does ginseng look like?" I ^ .sked him next. "Like this," and he showed me a iamphlet, with many illustrations. In m ts marketable form It seems to be F omething like a many-pronged pars- r' ilp, some of the roots having a bifur- sl ated shape, resembling faintly the hu- u nan figure. After digging them they ol nust be carefully and slowly dried, vhich of course reduces them very A nuch in weight and size. in The little book, "Who's Who Among he Wild Flowers,' mentions it as fol- m ows: Gensing?Phanax Qulnquelolum.

"I ahlp It to New York buyers and bey export It to China. Last year a ' here were 360 exporters of ginseng In ^ Jew York. They pay me from $5 to $8 jca er pound. I don't know how much thi roflt they make on It, but the mislonarles tell me that our ginseng In :hlna sells for $20 to $50. They also an ell us that all the ginseng grown in an ?hina is used by the nobility exclu- j"* lvely, and It brings from $100 to $200 bo pound.

Formerly, says the Army and sci ravy Journal, no government expected *,r ny service of its military forces ex- . ept that connected with actual fight- cv3 iff, but modern conditions call for all e . orts of additional work. , By the United States in recent years here has been wholesale employment f our troops in sanitary work, nota- a_ ly in Cuba, in putting out forest fires t)T. ~A ouffnrora Kv fho \f iflaiflflin - , UU ?IUtU0 OUUVIVtH V..V 0Q 1 floods. a|r A year or so ago the French minis- H1 ry of war ordered detachments of tJo len in the army comprising those de] nown to be exceptionally fine shots to lace themselves at the disposition of tie local authorities at Calais and Bou>gne for the purpose of destroying roublesome seals that frequented the gn and banks between those towns, and tius constituted a menace to the flshlg industry. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg bil ras once so infested with wolves that an reat alarm was excited among the wr lhabitants, who found themselves un- ua ble to cope with the animals. The thi linister of state called out the army, noi rith the result that the wolves were Th uickly exterminated. cla Almost at the same time the neigh- wa oring state of Belgium was having its trl rouble with rats, a vast hord ot coi rhich had crossed the frontier into the wh astern part of the kingdom. The de- loo redations of the rodents were on so ' wholesale a scale that in some towns odi : is stated the householders were on to le point of fleeing. When finally the oui overnment was appealed to for assis- up< ince it issued orders to the garrisons wh f towns near the point of outbreak to to 0 everything possible to aid the in- tlo abitants to stem the rodent Invasion, in nd it was not long before all the pests cot -ere destroyed. dei Another pest that an army was call- caj 1 upon to eradicate was that of spar- pr< )ws in Algeria which gave the French wo &rri8on much trouble before they were 1 estroyed. am About eight years ago an army was coi ailed upon to aid the people stricken SU i one of the provinces of Southern $52 ;us8ia by a disastrous blizzard. Hunreds of peasants were buried under ie snow drifts, while outside Odessa le trains were completely blocked, [any detachments of the Russian rmy corps stationed at points in the istressed provinces were called upon > clear roads, operate the railways, istrlbute supplies of food, and, in fact, d act as good Samaritans in every espect. A curious role falls to the lot of the rivate soldier who may be quartered i the garrison at Heidelberg, inasluch as it seems to be expected that ny private may be brought into reuisitlon as an object for study by the tudents of anatomy at the university. In August, 1900, during the Journey f a company of Austrian engineers | rom Vienna to Trieste the engineer of I he train by some mischance was kill- i d, while the fireman, under stress of | la smntlnn fnlritpH ownv The nnldiprR if t once took charge of the train, and as jj tribute to their versatility, it may be 1^ dded that they got it into Trieste five I ilnutes ahead of the scheduled time. One of the strangest duties that ver fell to a body of soldiers was that rising during the French army maneuvres at Chartres some years ago. It hanced that several of the menagerie ttached to a circus playing In a neighoring town escaped from their cages nd made off for the open country. Imlediately, of course the countryside - as in a state of panic, and the war flflce at Paris was appealed to, with lie result that soon there was presented tie unique spectacle of an army corps iterrupting its manoeuvres to engage i a hunt for wild animals at large in j peaceful province of France. So well i id they do their work, however, that i he beasts were, with one exception, pstored uninlured to the circus man gement. SUPERSTITIONS OF 1913 ar? That Shake the European Mind for the Current Year. In our foreign dispatches, says the rew York American, there were reorted from two European capitals culous Instances of the influence which ertaln figures have on even trained itellects. The veteran philosopher, tederic Harrison, while owning that le notion is "fanciful," declares that a, new century, plus the omnlous thir- p ?en, seems to have something in it of ite." Did not the "downfall of Na- "sa oleon's imperial ambition occur in 813," and "the collapse of the ascenency of Louis XIV in 1813, and why r lould not changes as momentous take i lace in 1913?" 1 At the same time they are talking in erlin of a prophecy made in the first ? alf of the 19th century in which a ] Russian soothsayer fixed 1913 as a year J i which Germany would become inalved in a tremendous European war. robably the soothsayer hit upon 13 j a figure popularly regarded as fatell, and he may even have been enough f a historian to be Influenced by the ime coincidences that Mr. Harrison otes. The spell that such chance as- jr )ciations exert on the human mind is d i obscure phenomenon.
