It lan't known who a-tnrtett the idea, but
probably It was aevcral entirtrtslna;
Itomo-ownora In K ansna t'lty. Anyway,
it reached New York tnet Sumtnor and
the Vacant JjOt. Jnrdonlns: Aeaoclatlon
made tho dirt fly wherever It could find a

Thata tho great difficulty In Now York.

and women railing t hctrmrl vo aettlcmcnt
a orkera hnd to r-o Into tho Uronx, over
to Stnton lelnnd and out In the country to

Tho Now York Idea differed from the
KnnnHH (Ity blon iti thla way: they took
the atttta out of charity by putting men
with families on tho vacant nrtMia and
made them aolf -support Inn, (rave them a

very hard-cM kind of work. Tho estate
of John Jacob Aator lent moat of It. In
Kansaa Ctty no such task confronts the
enerretlo arardener. At the most It mean.
a few houra of weed clearing or a few

Any landlord with good common aense
will aoe the wisdom and the profit In let

manner docrllod. You won't have much
trouble in that quarter.
The New York nas"ciatlon proved on
thing, and that la thnt men and women
and children, ill, ailing or well, will get
along vastly better In soma auch enter
prise, aa thia than In a "fresh air" camp
unless they're down and out. Many of
the delinquent., tho grown-up truants' of
this life, derelicts some folks call them,
need only a good example, a little Arm
prodding, like cattle need! in shipping, to
bring out good stuff. Bvery man has a
place In this world, somewhere. The
trouble Is that many aren't srmart enough
to rind the place and tho wlao ones
haven't tltno to show them, or they Just
don't care.
Hut, to return to the gardening: A few
hours a week ia sufficient to cultivate one
quarter acre, and if that's true, how little
time would be required for a 60-fnot lot?
About 72 hour for the quarter acre In a
aeason of rix months or 2i weeks. The
product varied, hut In New York a mnn
who never had amounted to much got this
from ono-half acre:

when ground should b broken:
For the home owners: Why not Im

prove your health and supply your dln-m-f

For the charity association: "Why not
put the derelicts to work, in the ntwen ro

MANAGERS DIE POOR.
Strang Prejudice Said to Kxist
Against Theatrical Chiefs.
(banning Pollock in Smart Pet.
If you reflect a moment it must seem
to you, as it docs to me. a sad irony
that th men who dVvote their lives to
amusing the public invariably receive
harsh treatment from tho public fn th
end. It Is an axiom that theatrical man
agrs invariably die poor. There is a
Strang and widely prevalent prejudice
Against these purveyors of entertainment,
an opposition felt almost unconsciously
by the ran k and file of play goers. T h e
newspaper critics, who earn their cake
by the theatre and who should approach
that institution with feelings of tha ut
most generosity, grow more and more
sparing of their encouragement, suffer
ing from a peculiar astigmatism which
seems to make them singularly clear
eyed in looking for faults and equally
Kind in the search for virtuee. I do not
remember more than a dozen instances in
which producers of failures have been
creditor with the desire and effort to pro
duce successes. No one willingly writes
or presents a bad rla". and it Is a regret
table fact that months of ambitious
work should so often bring forth the
same sweeping condemnation that might
be expected had its victim done his worst
instead of his best. "On the morning of
the day on which 1 am to have a
premiere." a manager said to me last
week. I wake feeling like a criminal
waiting for sentence to be passed upon
him. If my offering happens to turn out
badly. I dread looking at th newspapers,
so sure am I of reading, not words of
cheer and inspiration, but the precise
sort of censure that might have been
meted out had I been detected in a fel

stated after tha conference that tha
President and House were in harmonious
agreement for adjournment about May 9,
was summoned by the President to a
conference today. Mr. Watson said th
President hnd sent for him to say that
he bad overlooked th fact that there
would bo a qonferenco of overnora on
May 13. and that when ho had called thia
conference h hnd don so under tn Im
pression thnt Congrosa would b in ses
sion. Out of courtesy to this conference,
which will discuss the subject of conserv
ing the resources of the country. . especi
ally th waterways and forests, th Presi
dent thought It would be hotter for Con
gress to remain In session a few days
longer If that could properly be done.
Mr. Watson said h agreed with th
President, and thought that adjournment
would take plao about May 16.
Mr. Wntson reiterated statements mad

"How will we be nbte to do tula with

W A BH I NOTO . April 1 S. The fls h -erles
treaty betwen the United States
and Great Britain, regulating fishing; in
the lakes along the boundary line be
twen this country and Canada today
received tho favorable Indorsement of
the Senate committee on foreign rela
tions. The American and British govern
ments are planning to submit to the
permanent court of arbitration at Th
Hague the task of Interpreting the
Newfoundland fisheries treaty of 1S08.
The Hague tribunal will also have to
decide tho very much broader and more
important question that of whether
state or colonial laws or regulations
shall be permitted to Interfere with the
terms of a treaty. This latter question
has recently confronted the American
administration In a most perplexing
way in the case of the Japanese school
question In California.
In consenting to submit ao Important
a principle to arbitration by The Hague
court the American and British gov
ernments are giving; that tribunal a
prestige In the Initial stages of its ex

as an international occurrence of the

navigable streams to furnish electric
power, unless provision is made for pay
ment for that privilege, and the fixing of
the time the privilege may run, and the

of ea:d art, snail Impose conditions and
stipulations upon such limitations of time

THE WOMAN OF THE FARM
She Would Be the Good Angel of
Her Community.
' Ladies World.
We are all given to telling what we
would do if we were someone else. Here
are some of the things I would do If I
lived on a farm. I would send for cata
logues of all sorts, whether I '"'""-f
buying or not. These, with their pic
ture and descriptions, would keep m
Informed on the newest things In kitchen
tit emit la, household flirniture, cf of lies and
ao on. I would travel by sending for
railway folders, and f would send to ca
terers and favor-shops for catalogues to
b "up In th povcltlca In entertaining.
A woman with fresh Ideas on entertain
ing soon become a iowr In her commu
nity. '
When plans were being mad for fh
County fair, I would agitate a home
coming day, sending personal letters to
clttsens who hnd moved to other plaeos.
asking them to attend the fair on that
day. I would sk for a coaching or
floral parade, one nf farm wagons If I
preferred, and would enter Into nny con
test heartily. T would sea that my church
bad a refreshment stand on the grounds.
I would make my church a llva church
bv having aneluis very two weeks.
A nova all. T would spend money on keep
Ing the church painted, window-glass In
and th premises nent. and attractive.
Nothing looks so desolate from a car
window and says "Shiftless community'
to the passing traveler, as a neglected
country church and cemetery.
I would cn-operat with the school
teacher and young people in bringing en
tertainments to the sehoolhonse during
the Winter. Tn your nearest town are
good entertainers;, who will com for very
llttlo on the cbancft of securing pupils.
A bov all, I won M ask merchants In
town to furnish farmers wives wit h a
decent reatroortt. My heart always goes
out In sympathy to the patient woman
sitting in an uncovered farm wagon,
tired, dusty and perhaps with aching
head, while " Father" attends to bis
trading or sits Inside th store chnttlng
with other men. Most women prnfrr sit
ting In th wagon to being In the stores
where men am smoking and talking; but
I think H a shame thnt merchant a, or
th women of church societies, do not
provide a real room where country Women
can wait and b comfortable.
A MATTER OF SPOONS.
Very Cur Inn lc of Them ft Few
Centurion Ago.
London Mloba.
"W ar fnmillnr nowadays with
spoons of many shapes", Intended for
every variety of purpose, but soma old
fashioned styles are now merely curi
osities. There la th old-fehloned
marrow spoon, for Instance, which waa
ttsed for extracting marrow from bones.
Tt was made double, one end being used
for small bones and th other end for
those of larger bore.
Another exampla la tha mulberry
apoon. This has a perforated bowl and
a spiked and pointed handle. Tha Im
plements were mad for us In a day
when mulherrios wero much moro com
monly eaten than they ar at th pres
ent time. "With th perforated bowl a
little sugar was sprinkled on th berry,
which was then convoyed to th mouth
on th piked end of the handle.
The Introduction of tea led to tha
making of a variety of new kinds of
spoons. Including tha nooeewary tea
spoon Itself, some of which still remain
In use. while others hnv disappeared.
At South Kensington may b seen, for
examplo. a curious collection of tha
llttlo scoops so well known to our
great-grnndtnother as "caddy spoons.
Tea caddies of tho old-fashioned kind
hav long been superseded, and when
the caddy with Its two lidded and metal-lined
end compartments and th
stignr-bowl In th cavity between went
out of usn, th caddy apoon or acoop
disappeared also.
Another obsolete curiosity Is tho snuff
apoon, which, In tho days when nearly
everybody took snuff, and took it
everywhere, was used for conveying th
scented powder from th box to th
hand, or In some cases direct tn th
nose. Candle spoons and pnp spoons
also nro out of date. A Idangnllen gn
tlemun, a faw months ago, wrote In A
Shropshire paper that ho had In hi
possession a allver pap spoon which
had been originally given by the Mar
quis of Exeter to a member of the Hog
gins family of Holas. The possessor
of this spoon remarked that It had been
given to him by his father, with the
wish that It should b handed over to
tho first married In each succeeding
generation, for n such it hnd com to
him through th Intermarriage of tha
two families In years gonn by.
Thre hundred years ago ther was
ono at llford, In Kssex, which held
more than a quart. Others of more
legitimate make wer such as th curi
ous combination Implement with which
folk of that dat wer familiar. When
most people still, dipped their fingers
Into the general dish to help themselves
to meat, more dainty diners carried
about with them an Implement which
was a combination of poon and fork
and toothpick.
Tho fork was at the back of the
spoon, while the handle of the double
article was finished off with a little
figure terminal, which served as handle
fur the toothpick. Th terminal figure
was a very favorite form of spoon orna
mentation. Jt Is most familiar In th Apostle
spoons, of which original sets fetch
auch high prices and of which latter
day Imitations are so abundant; but
the figures were by no means confined
to the Apostles. In some cases th
spoons were curiously finished with
double heads, which can hardly have
conduced, one would think, to conven
ience of handling. A curious but decid
edly unpleasnnt form of ornament gave
it nnme to the "death's head spoon,
which was made for commemorative
purposes a very unattractive kind of
"memento morj."

UNCLE SAM'S FIRE BILL
America Said to Irftck Iteally Fire
proof Buildings.
Omaha Bee.
Th fir losses In th United State
for January of the present year
amounted to $3,000,000, or nearly as
much as the 1 oss by f 1 re In the e n 1 1 r
United Kingdom for th year 1907. Th
American Cnitsul-Uenerni at Berlin re
ports that th annua fir loss of that
city, with a population of nearly 3.000,
000, Is about $1,000,000, or, as tho Con
sul puts It, "loss than that entailed by
on moderately large fire In the United
State.' The fire at Portland, Me., a
few day ago. for Instance, entailed a
greater loss than all tho fires In Ber
lin for a year, and the recent fire In th
Parker block, in New York, caused
mora damaira than all th fire of con
sequence In Great Britain In the last
12 months.
Causes for this great difference In
fir losses as between the I'nited
State and foreign countries form a
subject for dispute. Collier's Weekly
apparently take it for granted that
most of th trouble Is due to the fail
ure of Americans to employ Improved
methods of fireproof construction. On
thia point Collier' says:
Americans boast that their fire depart
ments are th nnet In th world, but thern
ts lefs to beaut of In the foot tbat such
fin departments are nneded, and ttiat with
all their skill and all their perfection of
ainItances (not meaning New York' rot
ten hose), they are unable to prevent losses
In sinsle eataatrnphas that balane the en
tire destruction In a great foreign country
In a year. Jf a fraction of our annual fire
loss, not to speak of our payments for pro
tection that does not protect, were devoted
to the construction of really fireproof bulld
ingn, a great conflagration miirht event
ually ha as rare a spectacle here as It Is
abroad and most of our Insurance pre
miums could be devoted to other ues.
No one will contend that the smaller
fire loss In foreign countries 1 due to
superiority of fire fighting equipment,
for all admit that our own Is much
better, the American fire fighting; ap
pliances being in use In nearly all of
the larger cities of the world. Much
of the difference Is undoubtedly due to
greater care exercised by foreigners In
the construction of their buildings.
They build for permanency, as a rule,
take more time for construction and
use more fireproof material. Then, too,
foreigner are more careful about their
buildings after they ar constructed.
They enforce most stringent regula
tions for the use of matches and com
bustibles of all kinds and employ ev
ery precaution Imaginable. The result
is shown In an annual fire loss In all
France, for Instance, that is less than
the average monthly loss In this coun
try. Tiie Are lesson Is an expensive
one, and American have been too alow
to learn it.
