While in Australia gentleman told me

which he vouches
He was travelling through western New
South Wales and stopped to spend the
night at little town where his coming
was expected
lie had just eaten his dinner when he
was handed a note 1t proved to be an in

place in the neighborhood that night. He
did not know the people, but that did not
matter in that hosptable frontier settle

He said:

The young married people took seats
among the people, who were ranged on
chairs about the wall. and following this
there came silence that became embnr-

seemed to be big man in the place, stood
up and made a rather long and certainly a
very eloquent speech, in which he congrat.

example, he said, but the truth of il is

the young ladies are too modest to show
that they are ready to say yes to the right

INTERESTING TALES OF ADVENTURE

The advent of strangers in those days was
always celebrated by fandango, and as
the New Mexican, like the old Mexican
women are exceedingly fond of dancing
this form of entertainment was kept VI
nightly so long as los gringoes-the stran
gers-were willing to pay the fddlers.
Not being dancer, did not care for fan
dangoes, but one of my friends prevailed
ON me one night to go with him and see
what he called 1.-The fun"
The fandaugo that night was held at the
fonda, or hotel, kept, | think, by man
named Murphy. The hotel, like every
other house in the place, the church on the
plaza included, was adobe. The dining
room, a long, gloomy apartment, made
passable at night by many candles, wa.
used for dancing
Near the entrance there was the inevita
BILE bar, and at the farther end platform
raised about a foot above the floor, on which
was seated the orchestra, consisting of two
fiddles and a guitar.

A well directed shot brought Pedro to a

AMERICAN FRUIT IN LONDON.
Heavy Exports OF Apples Are Now An
nually Made.

The business of exporting apples is a
comparatively recent innovation, and
is increasing annually. 1t is reduced
to such system that the grower can
ship his crop to Europe Just as easily
as he can ship to New York-that is. if
he knows how. There are firms in
Liverpool, London, Glasgow, Edin-
burgh and Leith which make special
ty of this trade. All fruit is sold at
auction. Arrangements are made to
sell the fruit Immediately upon ar
rival.
The method of sale is somewhat diff
ferent from that followed in this coun-
try. Nothing is taken for granted
The apples are catalogued in lots and
distinguishing marks are given to
them. A barrel is selected from each
lot and emptied upon the platform in
plain sight of all purchasers. The lot
is then sold to the highest bidder.
Sometimes, when a shipper uses GER
tain brand upon his barrels. this may
become SO we'll known after repeated
shipments that the fruit will be sold
without examination, simply on the
acquired reputation. The expense of
sending apples TO England or Scotland
is about 81 per barrel, besides the
commission for selling, which is per
cent The shipper doesn't have to wait
for return steamer in order to get
returns, for the amount is cabled with

made to the consignee, so that the ship

money in about two weeks after the
sailing of the steamer.
The apples are shipped across usual

grants on their western passage.
Freight rates are comparatively low.
eastward, averaging, perhaps, rs cents
or 80 cents per barrel. Apples are
considered as tirst-class freight and
are given the best freight space on
board. 1t is just as easy for the
grower to ship apples to Europe as it

then shipped to the firm mentioned.
notice being mailed of the shipment
and its character. This ends his work,
the consignees attending to the cart
age, putting on board steamer, insur-
ing, if so Instructed, paying freight.
etc. As soon as a cablegram of sale is
received they send a check to the
grower. Thus the European market is
brought to the very doors of fruit
growers, and a product formerly hav-
ing only home market is made an i'm
portant article of commerce.

What One Woman Did.

"The pluckiest man | ever saw was
q woman" said Tom O'Farrel of Fargo,
as he brought his rich Irish bromue and
big black pipe over to the crowd of
story-tellers that had pre-empted a
corner in the Lindell rotunda. with
the first big rush to Dakota came a
pale-faced young Boston schoolmarm
who looked as though she had one
dainty foot in the grave and the other
lowering on the verge. She took up a
claim, and the boys saw that she got
the finest piece O land in the country.
Then we set TO work and built her a
house. Every mothers son of us pro-
posed to her before we got the roof
on. She was just the sweetest little
blossom that ever set fire to the
masculine pulse, and she had way of
speaking to every man that led him to
believe that he was all the world and
part of Coney Island to her. After we
got the house built she got up little
supper for us-seven great, rough
bears, all of us clear gone Well. sir,
after she'd fed us, and made much of
US, and thanked us in her sweet way
for her cozy little home, she told us
that she was already engaged to poor
devil of a law student back in New
England, who was working his way
thro' college. We all felt pretty blue.
but we swore we'd look out for her
until her dude won his spurs, and we
did. We broke land for her, planted
and harvested her crops, and she re-
paid us by gathering us about her
evenings and reading to us and sing
ing old home songs that seemed TO us
holier anthems than ever rolled
through the marble aisles of a grand
cathedral. For two years she lived
there alone, experimenting her farm
and improving it, and when one day
the stage brought pale-faced young
attorney to Big Bow hefound plump,
rosy-cheeked Dakota girl and home
stead worth s., 600 waiting to receive
him. He is now the leading lawyer
and one of the wealthiest men of the
State, and he owes it all to his wife.
Every man for 200 miles around is in
love with that woman, and would crawl
on his. hands and knees through q
briar patch to serve her."-St Loui,
Globe Democrat.
