H.fr^She Isn't worth a fortune and she hasn't
v.a any stocks,
Her wealth Is all in little shoes and
pinafores and frocks,
In little rings of curling hair and big
blue, laughing eyes,
In leaves and grass and buds and low
er» and beeB and butterflies,.
But when she comes in tired from play
and crawls up on my knee
She's worth, a hundred millions to her
mother and to ine.
She sits among her dolls and toys and
doesn't seem to care
J.r,
If Wealth is all.in rosy cheeks and locks
of curly hair,
ipShe toddles upto me and like an artful
fairy clips
A coupon bearing love from off the
sweetness of her lips.
And when she puts her arms around
my neck and coos in glee,
Slip's worth uncounted millions to her
mother and to me.
And when she's in her crib at night and
daintily tacked in
The wealth of Croesus couldn't buy the
dimple in her chin.
And as she blinks her roguish eyes to
play at peek-a-boo.
She chuckles me a fortune with each
.- archly spoken goo.
And though she has no fortune, I am
sure you will agree,
•She's a fortune, more than money, to
her mother and to me.

My Wife's Family.
"My Wife's Family" Is the title of a
merry musical comedy conceit writ
ten by Stephens and Linton^ which
comes to the Metropolitan theater
Friday, May 25. This farce met* with
immediate success when presented
last season and is duplicating that
success again this year wherever
seen. The story, which Is a clever one,
tells of the trials and tribulations of a
young .married man edeavoring to rid
himself of his mother-in-law and his
wife's relatives. He resorts to every
thing except murder to accomplish
that purpose, and as can be imagined
the many mix-ups and funny compli
cations which ensue furnish plenty of
ludricouB situations and laughable
scenes.
The' cast employed in the Interpre
tation of the merry musical melange
is one of the best entour, including
as it does some of the best'^Tarceurs
on the stage. There is no end of
bright comedy lines, catchy musical
and dance numbers, while there is a

May 25. This faerry conglomeration
of nofiBepiical (un, lhusic and dances
by Hal Stephens and Harry Linton,
scored a hit from its opening perform
ance and duplicated Its .success for a
season of forty weeks last year.
The plot is the essence at complexity
and in this respect is more than
adequate: It hinges on the efforts of
Jack Gay, a young married man, to get
rid ot his mother-in-law and the rest
of his relatives by marriage, Who
thrown theinselves on his hospitality,
and by parrying tales to hla wife
succeed ln keeping^httn in constant hot

What 'promises to be one of the
greatest musical treats of the season
will be the concert to be given by the
Rooney boys, a troupe of young sing
ers fend players who will appear at
the First Methodist church on Mffy-26.
The company consists of Percey and
Paul Ballard, two Ohio young men
who are said to be remarkably good
vocalists Harry Schultz of Texas,'
Bernise Amskoper, a 13-year-old basso
of Chicago Tracy Holbrooks, a violin
virtuoso who is said to give an unusu
ally fine performance, and Harry B.
Kooney, pianist. All are young men
and their voices possess the charm of
youth and at the same time exhibit
evidences of thorough training.
Their repertoire consists of both
sacred and popular music and in
cludes many old-time favorites. The
troupe recently visited Salt Lake City,
and The Herald of that city makes the
following comment on their per
formance:
The boys sing the most difficult and
intricate songs with an ease seldom
seen in older vocalists, they sing the
old familiar folk-lore melodies with a
sweetness and expression impossible
in matured voices and they sing na
tional marches with a vim and spirit
that makes the American heart beat
triple-time with flooding patriotism.

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
m«v a «v v-a —.
The term "British Australasia," as
used, includes Australia, Tasmania,
New Zealand and the Fiji islands, but
the commerce included under the term
Is chiefly that of Australia and New
Zealand. Australia has an area of
practically three million square miles,
or but little less than that of the
United States, and Its population ap
proximates five millions, or slightly
excess of that of our country at the
beginning of our national existence.
While the northern portion lies with
in the tropics, the southern and more
populous section, representing about
three-fifths of the total area, is in the
South temperate zone, with popula
tion, customs and institutions, and
therefore social requirements not dis
similar to those of the United States
Agriculture and stock raising are the
most important industries, though the
mining of gold and copper has assuin
ed considerable proportions. The val
.ue 2Lth? principal crops aggregated
in 1900 about 125 million dollars, wheat
being credited with thirty-one mill
ions, hay thirty millions, oats ten
millions, orchard and garden products
ten millions, potatoes six millions, and
corn nearly six millions of dollars
Wheat, wool and meats are the chief
productions. While certain sections
of Australia do not produce wheat, the
production of other sections and of
New Zealand is sufficient to supply all
domestic demands and leave a con
siderable surplus for exportation.
Australasia is the largest wool pro
in the world, her production in
1900, according to the reports of the
National Association of Wool Manu
facturers, being 510 million pounds,
against 370 millions for Argentina
361 millions for Russia, 290 millions
for the United States, 140 millions for
toe United Kingdom, 104 millions for
ranee, 103 millions for Spain, 100
millions for the British South African
colonies, and 96 millions for Uruguay.
The latest available statement of live
stock in Australalsa reports sheep, 94
millions cattle,
11
2 millions, and swine, 1 million. This
brief analysis offers an explanation of
the relatively small value of agricul
tural products exported to that section
of the world and suggests that its im
portance to American producers rests
largely, for the present at least, in its
value as a marketj for manufactured
products and as a* sOurce' -of supply
for certain

TRADE OF UNITED STATES
WITH BRITISH AUSTRALIA
AwottaM Prcaa to The Events* Tim,
Washington, May 21—Trade between
the United States and British Austral-'
asia in the fiscal year 1905 aggregated
thirty-eight million dollars, against
thirty-four and one-half millions in
the preceding year, thirty-two millions
in 1900, and fourteen millions in 1895.
Statistics compiled by the department
of commerce and labor through its
bureau of statistics show that imports
from British Australasia have grown
from four and two-third million dol
lars in 1895 tortwelve millions in 1905,
and exports thereto in the same period
from nine millions to twenty-six mil
lions. For nine months of the pres
ent fiscal year the exports are about
two millions in excess of the same
months of iast year.
millions horses,
materials
not produced in the United States In
sufficient quantities to meet local re
quirements.
The Imports into the United States
from the Australian commonwealth
are chiefly raw wool, coal, gums, un
manufactured fibers, hides and skins,
furs and fur skins, sausage casings,
and block tin these eight articles sup
plying fully 90 per cent of our total
imports from Australasia. Importa
tions of raw wool show an especially
large increase during the past decade,
their total for 1905 having been
$6,618,369, against $2,517,210 in 1904
and $1,846,934 in 1895. Most of this
wool is of the class designated as
"clothing," combing wool appearing in
the imports only at long intervals and
In negligible quantities, while practi
cally no carpet wool is ever imported
from the Australian colonies. Imports
of bituminous coal from Australia,
chiefly for the Pacific coast, increased
from $512,651 in 1895 to $1,094,055 in
1904, but in 1905 receded to $434,928,
the smallest total, with two excep
tions, shown during the past decade.
Gums, chiefly copal, cowrie and dam
mar, show an increase in importations
of over half a million dollars since
1S95, the total for that year having
been $1,083,035 and for 1905 $1,682,939.
Imports of unmanufactured fibers in
creased from $51,591 in 1895 to $1,027,
735 in 1905 those of hides and skins,
from $268,525 in 1895 to $1,124,262 in
1905 undressed fur and fur skins,
from $81,383 in 1895 to $411,601 in 1903
and $142,084 in 1905 and sausage
casings from $194,478 in 1895 to $224,
272 in 1905. Tin in bars, blocks, and
pigs shows a marked decrease in Im
ports from Australasia during the de
cade, the value having declined from
$494,224 in 1895 to $176,681 In 1905.
Exports from the United States to
British Australalsa include iron and
steel manufactures, refined mineral
oils, wood and Its various manufac
tures, tobacco and manufactures
thereof (chiefly plug), paper and paper
manufactures, fruits and nuts, agri
cultural implements, fish, chemicals
(patent and preparatory medicines
forming a large share), cars and car
riages, clocks and watches, rosin and
turpentine, and many other articles of
lesser values ranging as high as $100,
000 each per annum. The statistics
of our exports to Australia and New
Zealand disclose the preponderance
of manufactures and the absence of
agricultural products in any consider
able quantities.
Comparing conditions in 1905 with
those of a decade earlier, exports of
builders' hardware increased from
$635,494 in 1895 to $1,223,066 in 1905
sewing machines, from $224,875 to
$541,713 wire, from $lb6,799 to $994,
757, and iron and steel manufactures
as a whole from $1,543,739 in 1895 to
$6,695,253 in 1905. Meantime exports
of refined mineral oils increased dur
ing the. decade from $1,541,073 in 189S
to $2,638,455 in 1905 tobacco manu
factures, from $1,303,690 to 91,795,191
agricultural Implements, from $246,
930 to $1,169,183 unmanufactured to
bacco, from $268,079 to $741,215, and
paper manufactures, from $269,294 in
1896 to $848,404 in 1906, the latter sum
however, being a million dollars less
than that for 1901 and considerably
below that tor any year since 1891.
Exports of boots and shoes increased
from $62,090 in 1895 to $499,702. while
in 1901 the total had risen to the un
usual level of over one and one-half
million dollars. Upper leather In
creased from $S0,628 la 1895 to $517,
788 in 1906 eotton'«16tlis trom $69,
084 to $560,994 other ootton manu
factures from $89,087 to 9618.186. and
boards, deals and planks from $419,581

in 1895 to $1,565,211 in 1904 and $866,
094 In 1905.
While several of the articles above
enumerated show in 1905 decreases is
compared with the immediately pre
ceding year, the total exports from the
United States to Australia and New
Zealand are now practically three
times as much as a decade earlier, the
exact figures of 1905 being $26,353,311
against.$9,014,268 in 1895.
The fact that the returns of the bu
reau of statistics have In the past
placed the Australian colonies and
Zealand in a single statistical
group, under the title of "British Aus
tralasia," prevents an accurate deter
mination of the share of the exports
which goes to New Zealand, but the
'«ct that the general imports of New
Zealand are but about one-fourth as
much in value as those of the Austra
lian commanwealth suggests that the
share going to New Zealand is proba
bly small. This can be determined
with accuracy after the present fiscal
year, as the bureau ot statistics will
report New Zealand separately in its
trade returns after July 1.
While the imports into British Aus
tralasia from the United States for
1904 are but about one-fifth as great as
those from the United Kingdom, they
are far greater than those of any other
country, and in fact practically equal
the combined Imports into Australia
from all countries exclusive of the
British Empire. The United States is
credited with having supplied 22 mil
lions of the direct imports into Brit
ish Aastralasia, compared with 110
millions from the United Kingdom. 8
Millions from India and Celon. 5 mil
lions from all other British possess
ions, 13 millions from Germany, and
14 millions from all other foreign
countries.
The only countries to which we ex
ported a larger value of merchandise
in 1905 than to Australasia are the
United Kingdom, to which the total
exports were 523 milliom dollars
Germany, 194 millions Canada. 141
millions ranee. 76 millions Nether
lands, 73 millions, China, 5316 mil
lions Japan, 51% millions Mexico,
45 2-3 millions Cuba, 38 millions and
Belgium. 38 millions of dollars. Our
exportation of 26 million dollars
worth of merchandise to British Aus
tralasia was greated than that to Ar
gentina, to which the total sales were
23% millions Spain, 17 millions Rus
sia (so far as ascertainable from the
stated destination of outward mani
fests from the United States), 16 2-3
millions Denmark, 15 millions Brit
ish Africa, 15 millions Sweden and
Norway, 12 millions the Central
American Republics, 14 millions Aus
tria-Hungary, 12 millions Brazil,
millions Hongkong, 11 millions, and
the British West Indies, 10 millions of
dollars.
