SUGGESTIONS TO FRUIT GROWERS.

To the Editor OF the EAGLE
| was in Wichita yesterday and saw az
the grocery stores some remarkably fine
fruit and vegetables; but ! was surprised
10 also see some windfall late apples and
pears and half-grown green fruit OF Maid
En- Blush apples and Sickle and Bartlett
pears. The windfalls were prematurely
ripened fruit ripeued by the Goblin moth
worms. and ia an abundant fruit season
are only fit for the hogs. The green fruit
is good for nothing aud ought not TO be
allowed on the market. Way farmers
will pick green fruit OF such well-knOwn
varieties when by waiting month i viii

THE INDIAN DERBY AND BKE ECH-CLouT

1t is fact which is pretty well known
and remarked upon a great deal in the
west that no matter how much an Indian
is educated and to all appearances refined,
he will -ecur to the wild manner and dress
of his unburnished brothers. 1t is told of
a certain member OF congress who opposed
the opening of the Oklahoma country, on
the grounds that it was imposing on the
poor Lo. was persuaded TO take trip
through the territory One night he wit
messed a war dance of the Sac and Fox.
Two of the Indians were wilder, more
naked, and crazier than all the others
put together. The congressman asked
about these two men. He was told that
they had just returned from the Carlisle
Indian school the day before. He voted
for the opening OF Oklahoma.
Mr.. f. T. Allen, OF this city, who was
recently down among the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians says that on the train
on which he went down was young Ia
dian in light nobby suit a well fitted
derby, pointed and well blacked shoes a
white shirt and standing collar and under
his arm silver knobbed umbrella. Mr.
Allen watched him aud happened to see
his welcome at home. For chilliness it
was unparalleled The boys father and
mother and a small sister were in
front of the tepee at Darlington when
the boy arrived, When the old folks rec
ognized him broad smile spread over
their faces but no demonstration was
made The boy looked sulleu and angry.
and walked straight into the tent without
uttering a sound
Next day Mr.. Allen saw the same Indian
boy barefooted and naked save all but a
breecn-Clout. He was with his father, and
apparently as happy as bird.

woman. What is bad dinner hus-
bandy" You are probably one yourself,
or have one among your acquaintance.
A bad dinner husband" is a man who
takes advantage of company and table
full of guests to pay his wife in toto for
all the wrongs he has suffered at her
hands. In short he is the man who fiops
piece of roast beef on the table whenihe is
carving, while all the guests look sober
under palpable pressure and when his
wife tramps on his toes under the
table asks with an innocent infec-
ton but a Economical intent, MARY,
what are you punching my foot for''
That is dreadful husband. But, in all

seen one before. Poor woman. She had
not. as she should have done, posted her
husband. Poor guests They couldn't
laugh and they couldn't conceal their
grins. 1t was terrible finale for the
feast. But it was nothing less than cruel
when the man, without knowing what he
had done, turned to the servant and asked
her to refill the bowl, with a casual
criticism on the side that ut was pretty
good, but a little bit weak" Nobody
knew exactly how it came out, but the
guests found themselves, laughing the
man laughed, and from necessity the wife
laughed, too. The man explained that he
wasn't used to those ornamentations.
That it was wrong to expect him to know
the service that he did not use every day
in the week. In short, he explained him
self and the guests all took his part. 1t
was the wife who suffered. And all wives
suffer more or less who have had dinner
husbands.

But husbands do these very things. Some
times TO worry their wives aud sometimes
perfectly inuocently. a case occurred in
the north part of the city recently at a

The evening wore away without a hitch.
Everybody was pleasedand the last course
came on galore, disappeared nobly and
was succeeded by the fruit and the finger
bowls. Those terrible fiuger-bowls. 1t IS
an old joke about their misuse. At any

bowl and, without watching to see how it
was done, lifted it u his lips and drained

Besides. she holds and it is right hat
she should, that it Is entirely unnecessary
for a man to be rude TO enjoy himself. You
must sit erect, look neat. be as clean as

1t is because you like too much show; too
much gild; too much fictitious etiquette;
too much social agony. Here is your
guest. John Smith. A good man, John
Smith. You know him well. You have
talked to him on various subjects, politics,
religion and base ball. In fact you are
pretty we'll acquainted with him. You
have played poker with him and swore at
him. There have been times when you
have slipped off with this same John
Smith and he has told you "a man story"
ont of the hearing of the feminine folks.
John Smith has come TO be a pretty close
acquaintance man to clap on the shout
der good-naturedly-a man to indulge cou-
fidence ina jolly good fellow who is to
take you for what you are worth and no
more or less-a man who comprehends
your opinions and above all things knows
your adherence for shat inflated vacuity
of unsocial society-style.

Aud look at yourself. Same as John
Smith, stiff as a poker. Now, how do
you prefer your roast, Mr. Smith," you
say with precise etiquette; and Smith tells
you in polite formality that makes you
ashamed OF him and yourself Here is
John Smith and yourself who can jabber
away in your shirt sleeves to your hearts
content, acting with as much dignity as
undertakers at funeral. Your nature
rebels; you begin to court levity; you
make some facetiOus remark about the
particular bovine you are now serving.
Your wife looks Indignant. Why, why is
this so? Is dinner place for polite
forms and tinted conventionalities? You
are there to enjoy it. The viands were
prepared with that view. But how can
you land John SMITH enjoy it when you
are hoisted on fctional and absurd stills?
But you must do so because your wife has
asked it of you. You only break over the
lines once or twice, but that is sufficient to
worry your better half and gain for you
the reputation of a bad dinner husband.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-08-09

But YOUR wife has her reasons for these
| formalities. She has taken Il great deal of
! pride in the preparation of the dinner.
/ She wishes to see it flourish throughout
with taste and attraction. She wants to
see you on your good behavior and not, as
you sometimes do, act as though the
spread was unusual and confusing. She
desires to impress Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
with the worth of the dinner, and, as a
great peril to this end, she can not excuse
any inclination to levity. She has not
treated Mrs. Smith like you have John
Smith She may have gossiped with her
and become good friend in many ways;
but she has boosted a little too. She has
given out the opinion to Mrs. Smith that
things run about right at her house: that
you are very particular about your food,
perhaps, and that the culinary department
in your house is consequently nnder a
high tension to please and at high stage
of perfection as cooking goes. She has
made thousands of these little boasts, as it
is laudable that every woman should. But
now you must not come in with some light
frivolous remark and destroy the whole
framework with blow. The opinion she
has sought to disseminate, must be main
tanned.
