DIAGNOSIS A SIMPLE MATTER
Veteran Captain Had Seen Sample?
of Thlo Passenger's Kind on Many
Previous Voyages.

Tho captain of a l^AClfic mall liner
was annoyed by the persistent nnd
garrulous chatter of a paaaOJOtggr.
whenever the captain appear?*! q?
deck lils persecutor was there, waiting
aith some Idiotic question or loug
drawn "yarn."
One day the wind kicked up ? nasty
?en. and the vessel tossed about pretty
rigorously. The captain, In dripping
oilskins, came down from the bridge,
and ut the saloon companion way wa>
waylaid by the talkative passenger.
The gentleman's complexion waa a
muddy green, and It required no ex
perienced eye to see that his system
was badly shaken up.
"Morning, captain," he said.
'"Morning," grotVled the captain.
??Oh, captain, Just a minute," per
sist ed the man. "I've crossed the At
lantic a dozen times In weather worse
than this, but I was never seasick be

"Yes," said the captain.

Accident Suggested Truck Farm.
Accident Is said to have suggested
the truck farm. In 1817 a clerk on a
Charleston (S. C.) boat chanced to
speak to some friends In New York of
the fresh vegetables to be had In the
Southern city. As It was winter, his
statement was promptly challenged by
one of his listeners. On his next trip
North, therefore, he brought a basket
of vegetables, Including two boxes of
strawberries. They were placed on
exhibition In a shop window and at
tracted much attention.
In this way began. the business of
truck farming in the' United States.
Until the middle #f the Nineteenth
century the fruits and vegetables
raised on nearly all farms were intend
ed for home consumption or for sale In
-markT*tS"cloH<rar TTaridT Today Callfor
nla fruits and vegetables go all over
the world, and the Northern cities
have, all winter long, garden produce
raised In Florida or the Gulf states.
An Index of Value.
Berry, cub reporter on the Index,
was sent to get a story about old man
Crawford, president of the Curtis
Crawford company, on the occasion of
the company's fiftieth anniversary
Kerry found Crawford a man In his
early 80s, albeit active, and an employ
er of the old school, with little sym
pathy for what he termed the new
fangled ideas. They talked together
for half an hour, Berry putting ques
tion after question and the old maa
answering out of the wealth of his ex
perience. The young reporter, Just out
of the state university could not over
look one important point.
"Of course, Mr. Crawford, yon are a
college man V he remarked.
There was a twinkle In the old man's
eye, but he answered with all solem
nity:
"No, I lun not a college man, but my
head Janitor Is ? Kansas City Star.
All Due to Little Gland.
Why la it that military music makes
one want to march; that Jazz music
makes one want to dance, and plain
tive music makes one sad? Science
has discovered that it Wi all due to a
little gland situated at the base of
one's brain, and It controls the rhyth
mic beating of the heart. It prevents
it ? and otlier organs of the body ? from
racing, or working Irregularly.
Mart'al music excites the pituitary
fiand very much, and in response the
gland manufactures nnd sends Into
Mie's blood more than Us normal
amount of fluid. It Is this fluid that
controls the speed of one's heart, and
beats much faM?er. rlring one tliaf ex
MJarwted military frrtlng.
Anftlier type of music sets on the
pituitary gland in Just the ?>p[x?*lte
way? it slo s it do-'. i., with nil xecoto
