Sharper Than a serpent's Tooth.

A week or two ago, a young man, be-
longing to an influential, honorable fam
lily, cheated couple of business firms
in great western city, by false repre-
sentations, out of a couple of hundred
Thousand dollars. The matter was
brought before his father, an old man of
stern integrity. The young man was his
only child.
Gentlemen, I can do nothing" he
said. II have paid nearly half :
lion dollars already to make up sums
which he has embezzled. He has
brought me to beggary. The law must
take its course" He turned away. The
road between him and death was short,
and it would be dark and hard.

Three Safe Apples to Plant.

From all parts of the central fruit dis
trict Of the state of Iowa, we hear favor
able reports Of the condition of trees,
and the fruitfulnesss ofthree well-known
varieties of apple.
Duchess: Irrespective of wind, wealth
er and soil, this pioneer of the desirable
Russian apple presents its fruit offering
on healthy trees. Ofthe fruit and its
uses l need not speak, but word as to
its picking and handling may be useful.
If carefully picked when nicely begin
ming to color. and packed in half bushel
lath crates, it is marketable in almost
limitless quantities. Our towns are us
ually badly supplied with summer cook
ing and eating apples at a price within
the reach Of ordinary consumers. Gro
GERS dislike to handle them, as usually
packed on account of the loss by rotting.
1t has lately been found that the Ouch
ess picked early will ripen and color in
the crates, and always prove profitable
to the grower, middle man, and con-
sumer.
Fameuse: This is also sure tree
in orchard and nursery, and rarely fails
to give profitable crops on varied soils.
Az with the Duchess we have learned
to pick it early, pack in new clean bar
rels, lay them on their side in the or
charth under a shed with straw be-
tween and over the barrels, and wait for
the time in November when eating ap-
Piles of prime quality are scarce in the
markets. With Yankee tact in market
ing the Fameuse at this time brings
good price in quantities greater than
we will be apt to have to market for the
next twenty years. Handled in this
way we have no apple from Michigan
that will better suit the popular taste.
Roman Stem: From all parts of the
central and southern district this old
variety has stood the ordeal of the past
winter, and it stood equally we'll the
rough usage of the test winter of 1928.
1t has not only lived, but it bears good
crops of what even Chas. Downing
calls every good" apples that
keep with little loss through the winter.
1t is fine tree in nursery and orchard.
in addition to the merits name1, yet l
know of nurseries with not a specimen
in the rows, and neighborhoods where
only stray tree here and there may be
found. Why? The story is told that on
account of its color its fruit is not mar.
ketable in competition with colored
fruit.
On the Cedar, this tree in some Sec
tions has been largely planted, and the
fruit, having become known has ready
sale. The customer who tries we'll
grown, well-sorted, and carefully packed
barrel OF Roman Stems one year, wants
at least three barrels the next. In view
of the good behavior of the tree We
should attempt to educate our people to
it's use. Let us speak gooG words for the
Roman Stem. Who can report anything
unfavorable to its more extensive pro-
pagation and sale to panters.-Des

Various Kinds of Drunkards.
From Chambers Journal.

n run SldluOcl JOuCllal.
Some men seem to become drunk sud-
denly, giving no previous indication by
thickness Of articulation or unsteadiness
Of gait; this being commonly the case
where mental excitement from other
causes-as heated discussion-prevails
at the time. The most dreadful and as
touishing cases are afforded by those
unfortunate people who are never sober.
How they manage to survive so long as
they do is mystery. There are men
who have been perpetually under the
influence Of LIQUOR for twenty or thirty
years. OF course, the brain must have
become permanently injured, so that
we may infer that the drink these per-
sons now take has little or no real effect
on them. and that there state would be
just the same without 1t. Others, again,
are systematic and punctual runkards
of regular habits, men who take their
Quantum and are put to bed unconscious
every night, yet are capable Of attending
their daily business in the most extra
ordinary manner. These, as rule,
never exceed given amount by so
much as glass, and do not suffer SO
much as intermittent drunkards-at any
rate, not so soon, for the inevitable con-
sequence is only little longer deferred.
The writer knew an old doctor in jana
lea who used to aver that the climate
fever STRIP he would exclaim-'not a
bit of it! A vulgar chimera!
A malicious libel on us. The fact is; it's
the vicious irregular habits of the peo-
pie here that kills 'em. Look at me!
have done SO for thirty years. get tipsy
seven times week, in an orderly and
decent manner; and I've never had a
yellow fever nor days sickness" And
to all appearances he was fine healthy
man of Is or 10 years with beard as
white as snow. Yet he was carried off
suddenly by tritiing indisposition in
cidental to the climate, and it was found
on examination of his papers after death
that his age was only 50.
1t does not by any means follow,
either, that because man is never in
intoxicated he may not be drinking too
much. Men employed in the great
66reweries in London, especially the
draymen consume an enormous quanti-
ty Of beer. The daily allowance which
their employers give them is q very
selves to that, and the draymen, in ad-
dition get much gratitiously from the
customers to whom they are always de-
livering the casks; so that ten or four
teen quarts is no exceptional consump-
ton for one man; yet they are not
drunkaras in the ordinary sense of the
term. The very nature of their work
necessitiates the employment of none
but steady men, strength being also a
sine qua non. But if one of these men
should break a limb or get confined to
bed from any other accident. he is al
most sure to get delirium tremens;
and scalp wound frequently kills him.
Brewers men are notorious in hospitals
as being the worst cases for operation,
being prone to exhibit all the most dan
gerous complications which fetters the
succeCs of surgical treatment.

FARMERS COLUMN.
Hints for Farmers.

Mr.. ]. Wallace Darrow remarks, in
his Chatham Courier, that one of the
most aggravating incidents in the farm
borrowed and kept until broken or un-
fit for use.
Professor Osborn, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, asserts, in the Home
stead, that blackbirds, are great destroy
ers of May beetles.
There is white willow growing at
Stockbrdge, Mass, which at four feet
from the ground measures % feet in cir
cumference, and extends its branches
fifty feet i'll every direction. Tradition
says it was brought from Connecticut, in
1907, by traveller, who used it as rid
ing switch.
A writer in the Rural New Yorker
truly says: 1t is an idle thing, to pinch
and save and grind along, only ito buy
more land, to raise more corn, to feed
more hogs; go that you can buy still
more land, to raise more corn, to feed
more hogs" and so on, ad intinitum

Gapes in young chickens are caused
by small worm that gets into wind
pipe. 1t is supposed that the chickens
pick it up from the grass in the yards
where they are kept. The worm crawls
into the windpipe and remains there,
making the chickens cape or gasp in
their attempt to breathe. If taken
early, the chickens may be relieved by
giving a pill OF camphor about the size
ola grain of wheat once day. Also
put camphor in their drinking water. In
fnll-developed cases, the worms may be
removed by thrusting loop Of horse
hair down the windpipe, twisting it
about, and then withdrawing it. A small
feather is sometimes used in place OF
horse hair.

OH the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
AS the boat put in at James Landing
Ark, we saw four steers tied to a fence,
and every passenger at once carried his
chair over to the port side to see the
fun. If there is any fun about steam
boating it is to load a number of stout
steers, with wild eyes, long horns and
handy legs. They don't accept circum-
stances, and they have no romantic no.
tons about sailing up or down the
Father of Waters. As soon as the plank
was lowered the mate and dozen
darkies started for the cattle, the officer
singing out:
"Look alive, you niegers! On with EN-
now-what are you doing?"
With a great deal of hooking, and
prancing and shouting snd kicking the
first steer was pushed aboard. When
the second was tackled he branced his
legs. held down his head, and six men
could not bulge him. The mate went
around behind to twist his tail, and as
he gave twirl at that useful appendage
he shouted out:
"Now, then, every niger break
his back! Up with him. Boost-boost
--p
At that instant the steers heels took a
shoot out behind, and the mate rolled
over the gross. Some of the men went
to him and called him fond names, and
unbuttoned his vest and stole his plug
tobacco, but he was dead. When The
cattle were loaded we took him on and
laid him out on some sacks of corn, and
as the boat steamed away we all spoke
well of the dead. Some said he had q
kind heart for all his buster, and others
affirmed that if ever a steamboat man
went to heaven this one surely slipped
in for his charity towards the poor. We
were about to draw up resolutions OF
sympathy to present to his widow, and
to make up purse for emDalmlng his
body, when the miserable sinner sud-
denly sat up, gasped once or twice, and
continued:
''--him up higher than Gilderoy's
kite! Now with him! Now up! Why,
you niggers, I'll murder the whole pack
Of YEP
When he found out that he had lbeen
dead for half an hour he was dumb
founded. Tee idea that the mate of q
steamboat should succumb to anything
else than blow-up annoyed him so that
he sat down on pile of bacon and wept.

Irish f1uInOr.

The unexpected and lncongruous idea
gives the zest to humor. II would not
live in vain; would rather live in Gin
cinnati!'' said Artemus Ward, as he be-
gan lecture in that city. The audience
stared, and then, as they recognized the
incongruous and unexpected rounding
up Of the sentiment, broke into roars of
laughter.
The flavor Of an "Irish bull' is due to
its amusing incongruity, and Pat is the
most delightful of humorlsts because he
turns up the least expected idea. An
anecdote of an Irish counselor will illus
trate our point,
He had lost his cause, which had been
tried by court of three judges. One of
the Judges was an able lawyer, but the
other two were lightly esteemed by the
bar.
"Well, now" replied the lawyer to
some Of the brethren who were laughing
at his failure, ''how could help it, when
there were hundred judges on the
bench?"
ga hundred! there were but three,''
said one of the iokers.
"How can ye shay that?" exclaime1
the humorist, when there was one and
two ciphers!'
Some years ago there was a ''scene''
between the clerk of criminal court
and an Irish prisoner, which brought
out that inconsistency Of ideas that
makes Hibernians so amusing.
The Irishman was arraigned for as
sault and battery. The clerk after read
ing the Indictment, asked the prisoner,
in accordance with the form then in use:
''Do you demand a trial on this in
dictnent?"
'tNiver a trial do want" answered
Pat, with the utmost tnonchalance. "9e
need not give yourself the throuble OF
thryin' me. Ye may as well save the
expense Of that. and put me down nno-
cent. Contint I'd be to save the house
wild me blessin' ON ye; indade, it's anxi-
ous am, for me boss it waitin' for me
beyant- I want none ofyez trials at al,
at all"
Aud Pat, thinking he had settled the
the business, rose to leave the dock, bu:
was, of course, prevented. When the
laughter had subsidized the clerk, chang.
ing the form Of the question. asked;
Are you guilty, or not Zuilty?"
Arrah, and how can tell till hear
the evidenced answered Pat.
It was several minutes before the
court could 20 on with its business.

DONE IN THE DARKNESS.

We parted in silence, we parted by night,
On .he bank of a beautiful river;
No sound but gurgle, as, out Of my sight,
Swihshe sank, with scarcely shiver.
The nightingales warbled, the stars sweetly
shone,
And, though she will rise again never,
No sorrow was shown for the life that had
flown
For that cat is silent forever.
