heard man formerly from New
Brunswick but now citizen of Oregon
telling on the cars today about cram
berry raneher in his native country, who
thought with all other people who have
been raising that fruit that it was neces-
sarv for the cranberry plant to be raised
IN marshy or, und in order to make it pro-
duce. The cranberry man in blowing
among his plants accidentally dragged
some Of the roots with his pillow to an
elevated piece of ground, where they
afterward grew and tlourished. and yield
ed the turkey enhancing fruit most pro-
lifcallv. He then planted twenty-five
acres of the high ground. which. by the
way. wasn't fit for anything else, in cram
berries. and made a fortune. The man
who was speaking of this declared that
some of the bad land of the North Pa
eifc coast could be valuably utilized in
This way. But as we in Washington have
plenty of good land for raising other
things. which has not yet been subjected
to cultivation. there would be no special
reason for raising cranberries other than
a simple desire to raise them for the
reasons that set Horace Greedy to farm
ng-just thefun of the thing. Consider
ing an the more profitable things which
can be raised in Washington il would
probably be cheaper 70 buy cranberries
than To raise, just as il was cheaper for
Horace Greedy to pay for pumpkins than
to bring them up by hand. IL might be.
however. that cranberries could be made
valuable crop in Washington. and as
they grow just as well on good ground as
they do on bad. IL might be an excellent
idea for someone to make the experiment
after making some calculations.

II anybody thinks that snake stories
and fishing yarns monopolize the pseu-
daOgy of this country to any considera-
Bile extent. he should sit down awhile and
listen To a lot of cowboys telling about
breaking bronchos. lie would learn that
the fish stories and snake yarns are
embems of Snowwhite truth as COM
pared to the broncho breaks.

Some telescopes sharp has discovered
the picture of a very beautiful woman in
the moon. and says that 1t can be seen
when the moon Is full. but the chances
are that the casual observer would have
to be in the same condition in order TO be
perfectly successful in the detection.

II turns out that prohibition killed the
Omaha republican. But it was bad man
agement that ever allowed il to take the
prohibition dose. Meddling with other
peoples affairs is never healthy. Pro-
hibitiOn has killed states. why not news
papers?
The democrats are having quite a time
now trying to find something TO complain
about in the administration. They have
worn out poor little Baby Mckee aud
have been sticking to Wanamaker :
postage stamps with great tenacity, but
they need something else. How would il
do to raise rumpus because the presi-
dents boot black doesn't use Dixie
backing all the time? But maybe he
does. The matter ought to be inyesti-
gated before they kick up any shines
about it. aud in the event that the sug-
gestion fails for the possible reason
mentioned, then let them howl a few
howls about where the Slops of the White
House kitchen go aud Lige Halford's en-
travagant use of letter-heads.

Judge Calkins Is out for L. :. senator,

we mean good senator. The fact i

honors that even the republic could
bestow.

The papers there say If recount was
made in Omaha the returns would knock

Oscar Wilde says. 'Punctuality is the
thlef OF time" Evidently Oscar has been
waiting somewhere for somebody who
promised to meet him at eight and didn't
get there until nine. In such case both
punctuality ON his part and procrastina-
tluh on the other mans part were co.
partners and joint thieves.
