POLITICAL POINTS.

The Now York Sun gives Butler a
editorial compliment for
standing out in the rain, bareheaded,
while the Yorktown procession was
passing him two years ago. If Cleve-
land or Blaine had done similarly
foolish thing the Sun would say he
didn't know enough to go in when it
rains -Elizabethtown News.
When Southern Democrats are
charged with discourtcsy to Republi-
cans-as they have been-let them
refer to the following:
"At London, Tenn, the Democrats
Thursday erected pole lSO feet high
with a flag bearing the names OF
Cleveland and Hendricks and OF
Governor Bates. Some one in the
night cut the ropes and pulled the
flag down. AT the speaking the mex

How TO be Beautiful.

Ladies, you can be sure of this that

An Evenings Entertainment.



A correspondent who is determined that her
visitors shall have good time, says: What can
we do if we are tired of reading and music| The
dance, or play whist, or igames of chance" so
called, but in which In reality the battle is to
the swift and the race to the strong. This being
the ease, / know of no moro delightful way TO
insure a pleasant evening than to play games
with pencils and paper. You may need a little
courage to introduce these games, but, believe
me, you will be surprised at the happy results
which will crown your efforts. First try making
poetry. Have a sufficient number of
pencils provided, distribute them, and give four
slips At paper to each person. Each must write
one word on each slip Collect them, mix thor
oughly, and then allow each person to draw out
four slips. but do not let him see what the word
is upon it until he has habit in his hand. 1t is
then the duty of each one to make verso of
poetry and include in it the four words thus
drawn. Then each must read when all are done
the verse that he has written. Do not excuse
any one from it, for the most I'M
promising people often make the
writing poems ON subjects, all writing ON the
same subject; or write epitaphs. Another
funny exercise is to make conundrums, or
when all arc seated let one person whisper the
name of an object to each one while some one
else goes around the room and whispers the
name of some person, either historical character.
or an Acquaintance; then each nuSttell why the
person and the object are alike, or why they
are unlike. Resemblance or differences may
either be taken as an answer. Try these, or
some of them, and you will be surprised to find
out how quick witted and bright some young
people of all ages" are.

Changing ths Bearing Year.
New England Farm.

Every bearing year we see recommendations
for picking off portions of the blossoms in order
to change the bearing year, Just as If the change
were one that may be easily made. Some are
recommending to pick the blossoms from sin
gle tree in order to try the experiment and see
if the thing can be done. Experiments enough
have already been tried to settle this question as
to the possibility of changing the bearing year
of our trees, provided we will 60 to work in the
right way, and will persevere to the end
But it will be only time and labor thrown
away to attempt change upon single tree or
upon only a few trees in a large orchard, unless
the orchard is at a considerable distance from
other orchards, and also unless great pains are
taken to destroy all insect life in the fruit that
falls from the trees prematurely.
Several causes have had an influence in bring
ing about this habit of your trees to bear most
most Of their fruit the same year A severe and
widespread frost that should destroy the bios
SONS, would cut off the crop for one year. and
leave the tress in Just the condition for bearing
a full crop the following year. In "a year OF
abundance, there are great many
insects propagated and allowed to grow to ma
turity. These, like the apple curculio and cod
ling moth, are not much noticed in the years of
abundant fruit, because there are o great many
sound apples to go into the cellars in the fall, bat
in years of scarcity the numerous insects grown
the year before may have solittle feeding ground
as to be much crowded We have counted as
many as twenty-five curculio uunctures in a
single halfgrown apple that fell from tree
that had its blossoms all picked off the previous
year, for the purpose of changing the bearing
habit of the tree
Where farmer has a young orchard that is
about coming into bearing it would not be avery
difficult thing to do to make the orchard an even
or an odd-bearing orchard 1t is small matter
to pick the blossoms from young trees, compared
to doing it upon an orchard of mature ones. In
sects are the greatest enemies to the orehardlst
at the present time and no one can xpect to sue
coed in growing fruit unless he viii learn how
TO control the insects. and then act up TO
his knowledge When we conclude to clean up
and destroy all the immature fruit that falls,
the codling moth ends hers, then, and not until
then, may we count upon good crops of apples
every year Without this the picking oil of
blossoms from few, or from many trees will be
labor that will bring very little return.

The New Railroad Shops.

One of the officials of the c., L, st. L. & c.
road yesterday remarked that the signs were
good that the new shops of the Big Four to be
built in the eastern part of the city will be
erected this season. The company was now rid
of its floating debt and making handsome earn
ings, and President ingalls, was rather inclined
to go ahead with the improvement The matter
would be decided on he thought, soon after Mr.
Ingalls, returned from the East. Their shops
when completed will bring some $50 mechanics
to this point more than are employed in their
present limited shops at this point The new
shops of the Chicago, ST Louis & Pittsburg
road, near the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, are
rapidly going up and when completed some $50
men will be employed, 1926 more than are at
work in their present shops here. so that it will
be seen that with the completion of the shops of
these two roads at this point some 700 mechanics
will be brought here, a majority of whom will
have families, which will increase the popula-
ton IN the easternwards of the city $500 or
4, 900 people

Shonld BE Black-Listed.

A day or two since shipper went TO the agent
of one line and asked the rate to a certain point
and then remarked he could do better with the
agent of a competing line. The shipper was
told if he could, that this line would meet the
rate or any terms made by their com
petitor. On this the shipper strikes out
for the competing line, tells very
plausible story strongly impregnated with lies,
and is given a special rate. He then boasts
loudly of what handsome business he could
build up in the way of shipments over this line,
could he get to point which is 1S3 miles distant.
The agent listens to his plausible story, tells him
while tisstrctly against his orders to grant pass
favors to secure business, on personal grounds,
he will give said shipper pass to such point and
return. The shipper thanked him heartily, took
the special rate offered him down on a piece OF
paper, even asking the agent to write it, and
with the pass in his pocket, went directly to the
first mentioned agent showed him the special
rate and the pass. The agent instead of meet
ing this special rate and giving pass, goes to
the telephone calls up the agent upon whom the
tricky shipper had got in his work, charged him
with cutting rates, giving passes etc, to secure
business, and talked to him in rough-shod manner.
All that the agent who had favored the shipper
could do, was to admit what he had done, like a
little man, and then cited several cases where the
virtuous agent had cut the rates, and given
passes, and as it turned out neither of the agents
was benefited by the transaction, and the
shipper had the cold comfort of knowing that he
acted dishonOrably, and had well earned the dis
grace of being placed the freight agents

the railroads and coal operators are suffering

Narrow-Gauge Roads a Failure.

about to purchase the Bedford & Bloomfield
road make it standard gauge, and extend it to
Seymour, where connection will be made with
the Ohio e. Mississippi road. Indications
that Indiana can soon say that there is not
narrow gauge road in her boundaries, as, doubt
less, the T., c. & st, L. will be made standard
gauge. Recent statistics on the subject of mar
that experience has shown them to be generally
failure, except in regions of steep grades and
short distances In other States several of the
most important lines of that kind are being
changed to the standard measure, and it is not
likely that any more narrow gauge roads will be
constructed where it is possible to build broad
gauge ones.
