The Fighting Editor.

The champion, fighting editor of
the country lives at Albuquerque,
n. NJ. As the story goes, eleven
citizens of the variety known as
'toughs' came to the conclusion, a
short time ago, that it was their
duty, in the interest of the law
and order and the purity of the
ballot box, to take the editor out
and hang him. Now, our Albu-
querque Journalist lived alone in
a log cabin, consisting of a single
room, with a cellar underneath.
His only companion, a pet grizzly
bear occupied the cellar. On the
night when the editor had good
reasons to expect visit from the
reformers, he retired to the cellar
and left the upper room to the
grizzly. At the hour of midnight
eleven stalwart men arrived with
rope. They battered down the
door and rushed in eager for the
fray. They had no light; but they
rushed against their man, as they
supposed. For an editor, he
showed unusual pluck and
strength. He went for the lynchers
with such activity that the fight
was over in five minutes. In the
gray of early morning three men
turned up in Albuquerque, each
with an eye missing. One man
called at the doctors office with
one foot and three fingers chewed
off. The remaining seven re-
formers were loafing aronnd on
the streets, more or less mutilated
When the alleged facts of the
fracas got out, the editor became
the most popular man in the
territory. His paper is doing a
booming business, and he can get
any Office he wants. He still
keeps the grizzly in the cellar,
ready for an emergency.

The Professions.

How the ever-increasing army
of the lawyers and doctors is to be
maintained furnishes a conun-
drum for editors of speculative
turn. 1t is conceded that there is
not enough litigation and disease
to keep these professional gentle
men in snuff, much less enable
them to live in respectable style,
yet the ranks are constantly
swollen by fresh recruits, and the
cry is still they come. Webster's
idea as to the lawyers, that there
is always room on the upper
benches, is rather cold comfort at
best, as there are few men Of ex-
ceptional talent, and the business
has been SO altered by collection
agencies that the chances are
rather dismal for the young at
torney who starts without capital;
unless he is lucky enough to strike
a partnership. The doctor has a
little better show, but competition
in this field, too, is such as to
make success probfematical save
ander the most favoring condi-
ions. Itis, however, true that il.
other departments the same con-
dition of things prevails.
There is terrific rush to fill
every vacant clerkship. Compe-
tent civil engineers find it hard to
make headway. At least so per
cent of those engaged in merchan-
disc fail. Positions in railroad
offices are sought after with a
general scramble. In the midst of
the melee the earth still offers
rewards for the stout arm that will
cultivate it, and in every field
there is hope for indomitable
resolution backed by special
knowledge or skill. 1t can not be
questioned that specially capable
and honorable lawyers and physi-
clans of marked ability are of ser
vice in every community. A good
lawyer will shape disputes SO as to
save needless litigation, and in this
way he benefits the whole commu-
nifty, and really fine physician
will lower the death rate. In these
professions those who lack the
mental and moral equipment for
efficient work will exc out exis-
tence in a precarious way or be
driven to other callings, whilst
those who fulfil the requirements
will, in the end, find a steady de-
mand for their services. It is
hard to keep a skilled craftsman
down, and the young man who
feels it in his bones and in his
soul that he has the right stamina
and mettle to be signally useful in
a profession, need not necessarily
be discouraged by the vast horde
surrounding him. The maxim Of
Caesar was, it is not the number
but the weight of the legions which
prevails.

Stark Nurseries.

From the Midland Farmer
The Stark Nurseries, louisiana,
Mo-, so famous throughout the
West for the excellence of stock
and extensive business, occupy
beautiful valley about one and a
half miles west of the city, and
cover an area of more than 300
acres. Almost every variety of
soil is found in the bed or on the
slopes of this valley, the bottom
lands of which are thoroughly
tile-drained in order to promote
strong fibrous roots in the stock
grown. The immense quantity of
stock grown here may be estima-
ted by remembering that single
acre will contain about $4,000
stocks; therefore, these grounds
are capable of containing more
than four million and half of
stock. Our readers may form a
faint idea of the extent of the
business when we mention that
during this year alone there have
been put out $4,000 pear, 250,000
cherry, and more than a million
apple stocks, besides immense
quantities of plum, peach, small
fruits and ornamental and flower
ing stocks.
There is nothing new or desira-
BILE in fruits, flowers OF ornamen-
tai trees, that is not found in
these nurseries, carefully tested,
cultivated, and true to name. In
fact, the Stark brothers spend
more money annually in securing
and testing new varieties than
many nurseries do in cultivating
their entire stock. Nothing new
or desirable escape them. THEY
NOW POSSESS ALMOST THE ENTIRE
STOCK IN THE WORLD OF THE MARI
ANA PLUM, WHICH POSSESSES MORE
VALUABLE FEATURES THAN ANY PLUM
Now BEFORE THE PUBLIC.
A mention of merely the va
rieties of their stock would fill an
entire number of the Farmer. We
only say that nothing is missing
from their stock that is new novel,
or in any way desirable in the
nursery line.
The extraordinary success of
these nurseries has been the re-
suit of careful business manage
ment, close study of the wants of
the West, and the most scrupulous
honesty and fair dealing. In fifty
years of successful business, now
in the hands of the third genera
ton, it has been the policy of the
firm to send out nothing that was
not "a credit to the nurseries, true
to name and carefully tested. This
policy was adopted by Judge
James Stark (the grandfather OF
the present owners, at the begin
ming, (52 years ago), and it has
been rigidly adhered to by the two
generations that have succeeded
him. Until now the name of the
Stark Nurseries is a certain guar.
antee of purity and excellence, as
thousands of orchards in the Wesr
can testify.
