wood at wood camp for the Gillett
mining company when two men
came to my camp. At time was
absent cording up wood at the mill,
when my employer arrived from
my camp and told me that two men
were at my camp. When I learned
this went 10 the camp with my
friend to see if / could recognize
them and Khen got to the camp
did not Rcognizc either of them,
but my p- liner knew one of them
and they-remained IN camp about as
near as 1 can remember for about
three hours. At the same time they
told my partner that this night they

partner rebuke1 them for it. After
that those men remained for an hour

L was slone in the camp they pre-

rob the stage. 1 replied to them that
there was no need of my doing so,
and then they asked me what 1

Louisiana Oranges.

There are not many persons who
appreciate the extent of our orange
trade, or who realize what an enor-
nous source of revenue the culture
of this delicious fruit may be made.
On the 96th of this month there were
shipped from here on the Chicago,
St. Louis and New Orleans railroad,
eleven carloads of oranges, destined
the Denver, St. Louis, Cincinnati.
Chicago and Evansville. There were
in this shipment 1920 barrels, and
averaging the barrel at 300, we have
total of 396, 600 oranges sent in one
day by one railway to supply the in
crcasing demand in the West for
Louisiana's juicy and luscious fruit,
which is far superior to the oranges
OF Cuba, and even the much vaunted
| fruit of Florida.
Between the 1st of October and the
Goth there were shipped by the same
road to the Western cities $1,000
barrels, an aggregate of e,30OO0o
oranges. The demand f.r this health
full and universally favorte fruit
is such that it can never be fully sup
Piled, so that there is every induce
ment for our people to go largely
into orange culture, which, when
pursued with Intelligence, will
yield much larger return FOR the
capital invested than either cotton
or sugar.
The orange crop Of Florida will
soon assume enormous proportions
Owing to judicious advertising, it
became the fashion for northern peo-
pie to go 70 Florida for their health, |
and they seeing what mine of |
wealth was in the culture of oranges
in that State, invested largely in |
groves, which are now rapidly bear
ing and from which are supplied |
almost exclusively the cities of the |
North and East. The State is be- |
coming vast orange grove and mil
lions of dollars OF Northern capital
are INVESTED there in orange farms.
The Louisiana orange, as we have
said, is finer than either the Florida
or Cuban orange, and our clil1ate is
peculiarly favorable to the growth of
the trees, hence ne should either our
selves increase our production OF the
fruit or else invite Western or
Northern capital here to plant new
groves and make LOUISIANA what she
should be--tlIe rival of Florida. If
that State supplies the North and
East with oranges, Louisiana should
certainly be equal to supplying the
West and Northwe7t.-New Or !

a village person whose flock is not

proved the broker for the sin of stock
gambling, warned the CLERK that they
were travelling the broad and narrow
road, and finally said:
Il have some certificates of stocks

business of specializing IN stocks for
profit, these were present to me
from an old friend, and 1 may be
forgigen for disposing of them at
their face value"

that" replied the broker, as lie look
ed up the quotations They are
quoted at nine cents on the dollar"
"Dear lands, butts that possible"
grasped the holder. "As said be-
fore, I am utterly opposed to stock
speculations, hut nine cents on the
dollar is preposterous."

'Well, about one in five hundred.

the visitor laid down the certificates
with the remark:
I'm going to take that one chance

help me through, for nine cents on
the dollar for any sort of stock is
something that no Christian man was
