In an old-fashioned day the world spoke evil of the milkman who numbered the pump among the members of his herd. The popular aversion to water has passed and departed away. Ninety dollars in every hundred now sleeping in the coffers of our captains of industry came floating in to them on those watery tides wherewith they inundated their stocks. What milkman ever lived so desperately aqueous as to offer his customer nine parts water to one part milk? It was Washington, father of our Mr. It' ke, who over forty years ago sowed inadvertently the seeds of the Tobacco trust. The Duke tobacco fortunes were sprouted in a hovel on th< farm of Washington Duke. This is to say. was the year of grace 1 s<1 r?. It was steep, up hill effort, and the Dukes were far from being sapped of luxury during those opening years. Little by little, however, the Duke outlook begun tn press on the bit and cock its tail. The whole family and that included .lames IPiehnnan Duke in that day known as "Huck" toiled at tobacco, either in the field or in the factory. The team work of the Dukes was great. As a round result in trust building. a piling m I'eliou upon Ossa, Mr. Duke can point to $f.nn,onn.uoo in stocks and bonds, all born of $.r.OOtOdU which he brought together in a live sided wedding of to. ha ecu assets in ISS'.', To-day .Mr Duke rules the tobacco world. He tell Is France. Italy. Austraia. Spain - his only rivals among tobacco buyers where and where only they shall buy. Kvery other inch of tobac?o growing territory ho reserves . for himself. Aiul no one is to 1110 piimiit iii11( ?>t?:ui .10 mii| jsvq Lodged in safety behind his bags of gold, Mr. Duke delights to patronize mankind with counsel and amiable correction.

In his person Air. Duke illustrates the principle of rouud-aiid-thick in human architecture. He has a round, but not thick body: round thick legs and arms and neck. His htad is round, but not thick. His face is round, his nose without quality, his lips uncertain, his eyes washed-out gray. His hair what's ipft?

Okla _ March :t0 1 Oklahoma is about to acquire a remarkable family. Mr. and Mrs. WPrank Scott, of Highland. Kan., are * seeking location for a home in the | State where they can obtain plenty , of land. They will need it. for t they have been married not quite f ten years and are now parents of If) children, all of them boys and I 13 of them living. They held the record on triplets, having five sets to their credit, and two se?s of f twins. All of the 13 hoys living !are under five years of age. At. Omaha the conductor made a vigorous protest: "Madam, you cannot carry a whole Sunday School class with you on that one ticket and you need not tell me theBe are all 1| yours. You will have to pay fares 1 for some of them." "The rules of the company JJprovide that a child under five! jy^urs of ago may ride free when accompanied by its parents with a * first class ticket, don't they?" reI torted Mrs. Scott. "They do, but you'll have to show me." Then Mrs. Scott dug down Into 1 her valise and brought out the family Bible in which were recorded the names and ages of each of her children. The conductor had to give in. The mother and children > occupied five double seats in the home-seeker's car and paid for i only one. iiiil ittrlYl'i
