Two White Men Shot by a Band in the
 GuadalOupe Mountains.

GuadalOupe Mountains.
 TOMBSTONE, A. T., Dec. 5.-Information has just been received here that two white men, Jack Bridges and Burk Robin son, were killed by Apaches in the Qua daloupe Mountains. Bridges discovered some freshly killed meat and went to Halls ranch to notify the men there. Then, in company with Robinson and an- other man they went to the place where the meat was found to investigate the matter. They had just arrived at the spot when they were fired upon by the Indians. They returned the fire and at tempted to escape, but were surrounded and two of them soon fell. The other man escaped after being grazed by a bullet, which made slight scalp wound, and reported the result.
 A courier was sent to this city for help. Sheriff Slaughter telegraphed to Fort Huachua for government assistance and made preparations for immediat e departure. The fight took place in the Guadaloupe Mountains, east of the San Bernandino ranch, near the Mexican line. Five Indians were seen, but it is impossible to know how, many were present. but the fact that the party was surrounded shows that there were more than five there.

Oh, how we love the Christmas time! And how we love to roam, To see what we can get that's good, To beautify our home. What can we do more worthy Than helping hand to lendi To make our home more cheerful, And not forget friend. Now Jane we've talked this over, And I'll tell you what we'll do; We'll 20 to the store the people like, 'Tis the place first met you. Their name is known all over, And the boys in the shop agree, That of all the places in the tSwn 'Tis the store you want to see. It goes from South Main clear to Grand, And full on every floor; Ths prices are what we can stand, We can ask for nothing more. The clerks are always civil,
 And they wait on you with care. Their Pictures, Rockers, Lounges, Are pleasing, new and rare. So Jane put on your bonnet, And button up your shoes; You make me tired, here waiting, While a bargain we may lose. And if we're short of money, They will give us chance to pay, Come, hurry up my honey,
 won't wait another day. We wish you merry ChristEas, All who helped to make our pile; And when you come to see us, We will greet you with a smile. As sure as Mary had lamb,
 And two and one are three, If you want to furnish up in style, We're the fellows you want to see.

And then make up your mind that it would be good investment to become 8 stockholder in the
 MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK, with branch office at Room 19, Platt's block. For the readers instruction will give the following illustration :: .''.. s.L z
 All shareholders pay $1 per share. in monthly dues. The borrower upon ob- taiDing his loan pays an additional $1 per share on his pledged shares together with 33-5 per cent. interest, making 30 cents per month on each $l0O borrowed, or $1. 30 on each pledged share for the use of the loan. For example, an investing member pays $5 per month in monthly dues on five shares, or $5O0 in 100 months-the esti- mated time of maturity, and with the first payment or membership fee of $2 per share, he makes total payment of $500 during the 98 years and on the maturity of his shares they will yield him $1 ,00O, making profit of $490 even on the long time in which the shares are estimated to mature.

The Needle-and-Thread Tree.

Imagine the luxury of such q tree and
the delight of going out to your needle
and-thread orchard and picking needle
threaded and ready for business Odd
as it may seem to us there is, on the
Mexican plains, just such a forest growth.
The tree partakes of the nature of gi-
gantic asparagus, and has large, thick,
feshy leaves, reminding one of the cac-
tus, the one popularity known as tie
"prickly pear" The ''needles' of this
needle and-thread tree are set along the
edges of these thick leaves. In order to
get one equipped for sewing, it is only
necessary to push the thorn or needle"
gently backward into it's fieshy sheath;
this is to loosen it from the tough outside
covering OF the leaf, and then pull it down
from the socket. A hundred fine tibers
adhere to the thorn-like spider webs.
By twisting the needle during the draw
ing operation this fiber can be drawn out
to almost indefinite length. The action
of the atmosphere toughens these min
ute threads to such q degree as to make
q thread twisted from it, not larger than
a common No. 40, capable of sustaining
a weight of five pounds, about ten times
the tensile strength OfcOmmOn "six cord"
thread. The scientific name of this for
est wonder is Tensyana mucanina.-St.
Louis Republican.

Against Heroic Pruning.

have no doubt Mr.. Bigelow will re-
spond to Mr..Adams' criticism on pruning
and hope he may take the trouble to
explain the matter from his stand point,
not only how to prune, but when. He
mentions case of heroic pruning with
good results. | have in my minda grove
heavily pruned, opened out to sun and
air, cultivated exceptionally well. Knight
say this pruning was carried on two years
and at present after the lapse of q year
it looks pretty sorry. Another grove
younger but bearing, was (one-half OF lt)
pruned in this reckless manner LAS | con-
slider it) and to this day the trees are not
half as large as the untrimmed part. Now
il pruning is a good thing there must be
proper and improper times forth opera
ton. Should it be done in the most &C
tive growing season or at q time OF rest
What seems to me, one OF the worst
mistakes is when transplanting trees to
trim off closely all side branches and
leaving only q tuft of leaves the size of
your hat at the top. A very little con-
sideratio IL ought to show any man that
the shock of removal is vastly increased
by so doing. In the nursery the trees
shade each other, set out singly
branches cut off closely instead of
shortened back, is almost death and if
not that it takes a year or more to re-
cover. But let Mr.. B. tell us all about it.

Pea-vine Hay.

An old Jefferson county planter of
our acquaintance used to make pea-vine
hay asfollows: Heplanted indrills four feet
apart, putting fourpeas in place about
eighteen inches in the drill. When the
vines began to have very small pods he
proceeded to cut them with ascythe. He
put two rails upright in the ground
about eighteen inches apart, and on the
ground between the rails he laid sticks
and brush to keep the vines from touching
the soil.
When the dew dried off in the morning
he pulled the vines up by the roots, shook
the soil off and laid them in the sun to
wilt. Assoon as they were barely wilted he
gathered the roots by the handful and
threw the vines between the rails, taking
care to alternate the roots from one side
to the oUher, and thus continued in a
kind of a rick which he let remain in the
field until thoroughly cured.
Some day, when the atmosphere was

GRAPE RoT.-A New York grape grow
er claims that the liability to rot is di-
minished in proportion as the vines are
high. There is always less rot at the top
than at the bottom of the trellis. Where
vines are allowed to grow over the
branches of trees, with little or no care,
there is but little rot and the vines are
remarkably healthy and productive.
