DESERT TO BE RECLAIMED
Secretary's    Familiar   Little    Remark   Plans on Foot by^ Which Mesopotamia
"'' "  """ -   .   - Will ■ Be   Restored  to  Ancient
Fruitfulness.
It ha"s always seemed a jnost extraordinary thing that the.land between
=the Tigris and the Euphrates, which
was the seat of the greatest empires
of the ancient world, and which shared
.with the Nile valley the" distinction of
being the richest corn-growing land,
should for so many centuries heen desolate and waste. But the naturaVrich-
ness of the soil'is not the only factor
in the fertility ot the land. -Even.more
than Egypt it< was dependent on care-'
Tul and scientific irrigation,-and in the
'days of the great sovereigns of Babylon the canals -were most strictly and
Jealously guarded. But when the an-
.clent empires finally fell the canals
and irrigation works were neglected
and left uncared for, with the result
that in a few years' time the sand of
the desert and the weeds choked up
the waterways, and the land relapsed
into desolation. But the new ministry
at Constantinople has awakened to
the importance of the matter, and Sir
William WiUcocks,. the famous en-,
girieer, who wrote a most valuable
monograph on the Babylonian canals
a few* years .-ago, has heen, intrusted
.-with the work. The total cost of the
work on.the Euphrates is estimated
at a quarter of a million of Turkish
pounds, of which £100,000 will be
spent in the first year. For such an
absurdly small sum can the desert be
once more turned into fertile land.
Didn't Seem as Funny as
It Used To.

Senator Depew told a little story oh
'himself and Senator Root in his
speech at the dinner in Washington
to Mr. Root by the .New York Republican congressional delegation.
"When Root,was- secretary of state,"
said Senator Depew, "I went .over to
see him and asked him if he couldn't
'do something for me in the line of
consular appointments. He said:
'Senator, I'm sorry, I- would like do
something for New Torkvbut (and Mr.
Root picked up a paper from his
desk) I see that New York's quota is
now exceeded by 14 „per cent!'
"Well," continued Senator Depew,
"I kept going to see Senator Root for
a year. Every time I went" to see
him he would remind me that New
York's quota was exceeded by 14 per
cent. Finally I said: 'Mr. Secretary,
I think you're a great statesman, hut
your mathematics are inclined to he
automatic.'-
"After Mr. Knox became secretary
of-state," Senator Depew said, when
the laughter had subsided. "Senator
Rout went up to see him about consular appointments. 'I'm sorry,' said
Mr. Knox,' 'but (and he turned to a
document file) I find thut New York's
quota is now exceeded by 14 per
cent.'"
Kossuth Disciple's Wealth to Poor.
A few days ago, at the age of 82,
there died at Zombor, In Hungary, .one
of Kossuth's followers named Stefan
Komjovlts, who had always led an eccentric existence and had heen regarded as a man of merely moderate
means. But on his death his will
showed that he was one of the richest
men In his province and had husbanded his wealth chiefly for the purpose of distributing it at his death In
benefiting his fellow' citizens.
His bequests include 80 morgen of
land and 60,000 kronen for an institute for the blind, 200 morgen and 400,-
000 kronen for a school, 1,200 morgen
and -30,000 kronen for a cadet training
institution and 250,000 kronen for a
church.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
kronen was left to a priest, his servant and stewards receive 200,000 each,
and 120 other persons 3,000 kronen
each.—Lokal Anzeiger.
A Bit of Negro Humor.
Robert Edeson tells the following
story of a negro servant that is worth
repeating:   -
One day last summer, Mr. Edeson
noticed that Lindy was in an unusually good humor while doing her
work—singing all the time. He called
her in the room and saw she was ar-^
rayed in colors that wquld . have
shamed Solomon, including as they
did all the bright hues" of the rainbow.
"Lindy," said "he, "why are you so
happy to-day?" This evoked the reply: "Marse Bob,' I just burled my
fourth husband yesterday." "You did,"'
said Mr. Edeson. "Well, it seems to
me that it would be more befitting
you-^to array yourself in garments of
a somber hue."
"Dat's alright," said Lindy, "but I'm
one of dose folks dat caries dere grief,
in do heart instead of on dere
clothfs "—TJticn Observer

.'ght because the wife insisted that the
husband carry her pet poodle. -Notwithstanding the unusual excellence
of this excuse for a squabble, street
fighting is bf 1 form.

KNOW THE PANGS OF HUNGER
Antarctic Explorers Have Felloyv-Feel-
*     ing for the Poor of the Great
World's Cities.
Sir Ernest Shackleton told a fashionable drawing-room audience in Xion-
don the other day what it feels like
to be ferociously hungry.
During the last stage of his antarctic expedition, he said, -when the members of his party were" sitting in their,
tent, each nibbling his one biscuit, if
a man happened to drop a crumb six
pairs of eyes would follow it on its
downward, path to the floor. If he had
not noticed it, which was a very rare
occurrence, his attention would be
drawn to it and he would wet the tip
of his finger and pick It- up. Not a
morsel was allowed to escape.-
In his diary for the same- day last
year he found the entry: "Very hungry -dreaming of food all night; thinking of food all day." They-were hungry for three months, he continued,
and during that time had- only one
full meal—on Christmas day.
They often asked each other what
people in the cities did when they
were dying of starvation, because no
law of man would have stood between
them and a baker's shop If they had
had an opportunity of getting in.
"When they came back to civilization
they weer so shrunken .in size that at
first they were unable to eat as much
as an ordinary man, .but afterward
made up for it. They then made up
their • minds that they would never
see a hungry person flattening his
nose ."against 'a hake-shop window
without giving him something.
He Changed His Drink.
In Magistrate-"Jimmy" Briggs' office
the other morning a woman had her
husband arrested for drunkenness.
"Your honor," pleaded the woman,
"I am the mother of six children*. Last
week this man came home and he'.did
not give me a cent of his week's pay.
Ever since that time he has been doing nothing but drink, and he won't
work, so- I want you to give him a
good long sentence."
"Your honor," said the man, "if
you'll let me go this time, I'll sign
the pledge for five years and—"
"Dont you Jet him do it, judge,"
hotly broke In the woman. "I was
easy with him last time and he took
the pledge, but didn't keep it" _
"Sure, your honor, I did keep it,"
said the man.
"Yes, your honor, he kept It all
right," broke in the woman again. "He
swore that he wouldn't drink any
more whisky, but the next night he
came home drunk on beer."—Philadelphia Telegraph. .
As George Sees the Peers.
"David Lloyd George," said the
miner from Wales, as he emptied his
glass of cwrw, "David Is a very witty
speaker. I'^ve heard him many a time
in Carnarvon.
"Speaking In Welsh, he once ridiculed in Carnarvon.the house of lords.
He said "the average peer thought so
much of himself that at .family -pray;
ers he always made one well-known
passage run:    •
" 'Surely goodness and -mercy- shall
follow me-all the days of my life, and
I will dwell in" the house of the lords
forever!'"—Lgndon Globe.  ..

-.condition of weather or grain.    Be sure you
use   the   best   twine,—PLYMOUTH
