HE COULDN'T POP.
The Bicycles and Ru.s Interfered.

Carrie and Charlie were riding up
the gravel road last evening in new
phaeton. They were going to Carries
home, and Charley, who is Just dead

evening to get his courage up to the
psint of asking her to become his wife,
And now they were not very far from

Carrie he said solemly: ~ want

Incubation by Wholesale.

A Ukiah man. the owner of three
story hop house. recently conceived the
idea Of turning the building into a mann
moth incubator for the Matching OF
chickens. In a few weeks he had the
place in condition, and the furnace was
set to work on setting of 6,000eggs. AT
the expense Of a cord and half of wood
between l,50o and 1900 chickens were
chirping in the hop house at the end Of
the period Of incubation This is not
very good average for first class incu-
bator, but it is thought that with the ex-
ercise OF more care better results can be
obtained The Ukiah man has given
evidence Of his faith in the practicability
OF the scheme by setting a second hatch

No More Guy Policemen

There was an interesting tall, on mis-
fit police uniforms at the meeting Of the
lieutenants. Superintendent Lalnon in
structed the lieutenants to return all
badly fitting garments to the contractor,
as no man would be allowed TO go on the
street with a misft uniform, and they
would lose pay for each day lost by raa-
son of having imperfect Citing garments.
This laudable desire to show off the
Adonislike forms of the policemen
brought Lieutenant Thompson to his
feet He thought it would be impos-
sib.e to get the fits required, rs some of
his men had returned their clothing
twice, and it had come back us baggy
and imperfect rs when sent The super
lntenaent informed the dissenting officer
that the excuse was not a good one He
said the officers could send the clothing
back every day if necessary until it was
made to fit, and once more announced
that the misft policemen would lose
their days pay.-Philadelphia Telegraph

home in Minot at the age of seventy
years, was one of the most famous or
chardists in Maine. He had special and

his pride, in Il business way, was in the
apple, and especially in the Baldwin.
He had IN intimacy with the Baldwin
that showed in a constant study to pro-
duce it in perfection, and to store it for
marketing when most other orchardists
in his vicinity had bade goodby to. this
variety for the season. His cellars had
unique storage apparatus for keeping
fruits, and a system of ventilation which
was the result of Mr.. Nelson's own
study.-kennebec Journal.
