England's New Laureate
lis none of a Yankee's business,
But somehow wo fall to boo
Why Kipling was passed for a man thatfa
classed
Aa a mediocrity.
When Tennyson died then Austin'
Was named. Though of lower grade.
The poopto still doto on the man who
wroto
"Tlw Charge of tho tight Brigade."
And now that Austin has left them
They're ohooslng a lower still.
Doo Bridges may be a good follow per bo.
But novcr tho pluco can fill.
They've got a genius among them.
Who life puts Into his verso,
And all say, bedad, bravo Kipling's tho lad
Who's witty, profound and terse.
In fact, among .living poets
He's ranking the flrst today.
Better laureate England never could get
At least so tho critics say.
Ills fame tho whole earth encircles;
lie Is read In every land.
Why England should mako so plain a mis
take Wo Tanks cannot understand.
Aufrusjtus'Troadwell In New York Trib
une. KANSAS FRUIT GROWERS
FOILING THE MIDDLEMAN.
Association Formed Nine Years Ago
Has Made Remarkable Success.
To get rid of the middleman and
incidentally to give the consumer more
lor hla money a dozen fruit growers
living nround Wathena, Kan., or
ganized a"co-operatlve association nine
years ago. Today tho Watucna Fruit
Growers' association, with its 150
members, Is perhaps too most noted
fruit shipping concern in the middle
west.
It all sprang from tho disgust of one
man, W. It. Martin, who, on a June
day In Wathena, tried to sell a crate
of twenty-four boxes of berries and
could get from the soulless middleman
who looked at them an offer of only
CO cents.
Martin started out at once to remedy
this state of affairs. He became gen
eral manager of tho now association
and has held tho place ever since. The
organization is Incorporated for $25,
000, of which $18,000 is invested in a
building. Its general success has been
remarkable. Last year It sold its
berries at an average price of $1.32, or
104 per cent more than Martin re
ceived for his fateful crate in 1004.
Wathena lies In tho fertile Missouri
river distrfct, about fifty miles north
of Kansas City. Tho section Is so
Important from a fruit growing stand
point that tho Kansas experiment sta
tical has put an agent In the field there
to co-operate with tho growers In fight
ing Insects and advising on other prob
lems. Last year Doniphan county, In
which Wathena lies, grew more than
$800,000 worth of fruit
When a man Is tahen Into tho Fruit
Growers' association, ho pays Into the
treasury $10. In nddltlon, ho must
buy nt least 5 worth of stock and
may buy more If it Is available. Some
members own ns much ns $1,000 worth
of stock.
The association spends little money
to get business. It has a reputation
for fair dealing and high quality fruit
so the business comes with llttlo effort.
Last year tho association had a sales
man on tho road only ono week. Tho
total running expenses are about $r,000
a year, which includes the pay of the
office force, consisting in the busy sea
son last year of a manager, an in
spector, two bookkoepers and n bill
cleric
All fruit is hauled by tho growers
directly to tho cars at the siding, where
It is inspected. Tho fruit must grade
up to a certain standard and the new
members of tho association commonly
have a good deal of their fruit rejected.
Tho growers are paid a llttlo under the
price which is to bo obtained frm the
consignee At the end of tho year tho
association pays a 7 per cent dividend
on the stock, and then distributes the
rest of tho surplus among tho members
in proportion to tho number of crates
that they liavo shipped.
HOME GROWN CLOTHES.
Georgians Making Experiment With
Cotton For Men's Suits.
Some time ago in Spartanburg, S.
0., J. W. Alexander inaugurated
movement for homo grown clothes
the wearing in tho south during tho
summer of clothing mado of cotton.
At tho fair last fall ho succeeded in
pledging 350 Spartanburg men to buy
suits mado of cloth woven nt Spar
tanburg from homo grown cotton, pro
vided tho suits could bo mado satis
factorily. Mr. Alexander has nowsent
a bolt of Bedford cord cloth manufac
tured by a Spartanburg mill to a
shrinking plant in tho north.
As soon as this la shrunk it will- bo
returned to Spartanburg and n tnflor
will mako n $7.50 suit for Mr, Alex
ander. Tho suit will bo worn and sub
mitted to n shrinking teat If It stand3
the test all right cloth will bo ordered
for tho 340 other suits, and Spartan
burg will bo wearing not only homo
made, but homo grown suits.

TESTED HIS NERV
A Blind Struggle For Life In the
Depths of the Earth.
LOST IN THE DARK IN A MINE.
Thrilling Experience of a Workman
Who Found Himself After an Explo
sion Alone and Without a Light In
the Suffocating Coal Hole,
To bo lost In tho woods or on tho
plains Is a fearful experience, but there
the victim has tho heavens above him
and can at least see his way about.
Tho terrors of a similar adventure In
tho utter blackness ofu gas filled coal
mlno ore thus described by a corre
spondent of the Youth's Companion:
I waa working nlono in a "room" on
tho second south entry of the mine.
It was 5 o'clock, the time for firing tho
afternoon, blasts. Tlw man who wns
"driving" the entry lighted his fuse
and came back through the entry call
ing out "Fins!" One nfter another tho
other miners set off their blasts and
camo'arbng tho entry until they reach
ed my room. I lighted my fuse, watch
ed it sputter for a moment and went
out into the entry to wait for the blast.
Several seconds passed, and there
was no explosion. My fellow miners
passed out of the entry and left mo
alone. I went back Into the room and
found that the blast opening was clog
ged so that the fire could not reach the
powder. I had to remove the tamping
and recharge the drill hole. By this
time the mine was filled with dense,
gas laden powder smoke from the other
blasts.
In the stifling smoke I recharged the
hole, . tamped it inserted the fuse,
lighted it from my head lamp and hur
ried to the moutii of the room. The
work was hastily done. When tho
powder exploded the rush of air cxtln
gulshed my lamp.
The darkness was absolute, and there
is no darkness so dense as that of a
mlno. To my consternation I found
tho matches in my "jockey box" so
damp tliat they would not ignite.
Then I became really alarmed. I was
two miles under ground without a light
In an atmosphere so heavy with gas
that it would not sustain llfo for any
length of time.
I dashed into tho entry, ran against
a pillar and was knocked nearly sense
less. I staggered to my feet nnd groped
down the tunnel. In a coal mine great
oaken valves or doors close the eu
trances to tho various tunnels. The
air enters through the main ontry nnd
Is sucked out of tho mlno by great
fans at tho opposite end of the mine
after it has been distributed through
the workings by means of these valves
and crosscuts situated near them.
I readied a door, pulled it open and
passed through. Beyond it two tun
ncls came together at a right angle.
Ono led toward the open air, the other
Into the depths of tho mine. My
sense of direction was entirely gone.
and I could not tell which to tako. It
was all chance. I went ahead and aft
or a time reached another valve.
If I only had a light! One gllmpso
of the number painted on the door
would tell me where I was. I tried to
feel tho number with my fingers, but
In vain. I pushed through the door
and entered another tunnel, down
which I walked for hours, aa it seem
ed. My head was bursting with pain
from the gas.
Their I heard the sound of running
water. I knelt down, dipped in my
hand and found that I was going up
stream and consequently deeper and
deeper into tho mlno. So I turned
back, reached tho valve and felt along
the pillar until I found tho other tun
nel opening. Tho gas had by this time
begun to affect my brain, and I reeled
and staggered ns I walked. I left tho
track and walked in tho "sump" water
up to my knees, keeping one hand on
the wall to steady myself.
I passed through valvo after valve
and tried to keep count, but my brnln
refused to perform that slmplo task
At last I pushed through a valvo and
felt a blast of fresh, cold air. With
that breath of oxygen my reason re
turned. With renewed courage I pusli
ed forward. Many times in following
that llfo giving current of air I plunged
through narrow cross cuts, stumbled
over masses of 6lato, fell Into water
holes and bruised myself by striking
agnlnst tho sharp corners of tho coal
vein, but I was steadily creeping near
er to tho surface.
Suddenly I stumbled against n loaded
coal car. That meant that I was in tho
main entry, but how far from the en
trance I could not tell. I worked my
way along tho string of loaded caw
and began to ascend an incline. The
fresh air swept down tho tunnel In a
galo. I kept peering ahead, in tho hope
of seeing daylight, but nono nppenred.
I wondered why. I broko into n run,
and in another minute I had emerged
from tho mlno and stood gazing at tho
stars. It was almost midnight and I
had left my room shortly after 5
o'clock.
The Greedy One.
Traveling through South Africa, Mr.
Dudley Kldd, tho author of "Tho Es
eential Kafllr," once accused a native
of being greedy Tho native turned
eyes of reproach upon him.
"Mo greedy, baas?" ho said. "It takes
two Kaffirs to eat a sheep in a day, but
only ono nottentot Hottentot greedy,
not Kaffir."
Tho question every morning Is not
how to do the gainful thlnet JSut how
to do the Jnat thing. Johap"
