A worthy Charity.


An transformations but most worthy
work Is carried on, In small way 90
far, In London by some young women
who wanted to do something In the way
of benevolence, but could not do much.
They have established an order to care
for the children Of sick mothers among
the poor, who often refuse to go to the
hospitals because they viii not leave
their families Of helpless little ones.
Many such struggle on to death rather
than take the chance for life offered them
In hospital skill, for this reason. The
young philanthropists have rented q
house, where a limited number Of tenn
porarily motherless children are received
and cared for, the self constituted guard
ians living in the same place in alternate
sets of three to four weeks at time.
It is hoped that this work may enlarge
greatly. It is valuable supplement to
the, creches, where all mothers leave
their children to go out and work for
them. If to get well for her family is a
duty that many mother other than Of
the lower classes has found 1t difficult to
carry out, how much more 30 it is for
the miserable poor parent who sees only
starvation for her babies If she stops her
toili-Her Point of View In New York

Fruit in the Northwest.

There is an impression among EASTERN
people that fruit will not grow in some
Of the states of the northwest, the Da-
kotas, for instance. But we find from a
report of the South Dakota horticultural
society that in this state at least fruit
of many varieties and excellent quality
Is produced In abundance. Among them
are grapes, apples, plums and berries Of
all kinds. It is true few precautions
are necessary. as one Dakota fruit grower
felicitously observes-the same as are
taken by eastern fruit growers. One Of
these is that in most parts of South Da-
kota there seems to be doubled and
twisted crop of insect pests. These must
be sprayed for all there Is in 1t with
paris green, london purple and other
rainbow preventives. At the approach
of winter grapes must be laid gently
down upon the soil and covered in q
warm bed with coarse hay II the vari-
ETY. is old and tough; with earth and ''lit-
ter" II It is young and tender. But II
this is done there will be excellent fruit.
The Concord grape % reported to thrive
best.
The whole country may point with
pride to the achievement Of these Dakota
people in tree planting and fruit pro-
ducing. One speaker at the convention
reported his mother as saying that thirty
years ago there was not on two quarter
sections switch large enough to whip q
child with. So the Dakota youngsters
missed one unpleasant experience at
least.
But those brave pioneers went from
eastern homes where fresh, ripe fruit and
berries were plentiful; where great,
beautiful trees shaded the lawn In sum-
mer and evergreens ON the northwest Of
the house broke the force of the chill
blasts in winter. They resolved they
would have both frrit and forest in their
new home. The struggles Of the pio-
neers on these treeless plains to secure
orchards and shade trees are among the
most interesting portions OF the history
of the brave young northwestern states.
Now they have blue grass lawns, roses,
honeysuckles, pine. cedar and fiji trees.
and beautiful towering Japanese catat
pas trees. One pioneer strawberry cul-
turist reports that for ten years he has
not had single failure with his favorite
fruit. The worst enemy some of the
fruit pioneers encountered In their eff
forts was the silvery tongued but unre-
liable nursery agent. Dozens Of varie-
ties of fruits had to be tried before one
was found that would thrive in that

An Intrepid Equestrienne,

Mentioning Miss Annie Wheeler. daughter Of
Representative Wheeler of Alabama, the young
lady who so narrowly escaped the death threat
ened by runaway horse and a closed carriage.
the Augusta, Ga. Chronicle says;
Among the fair equestrlennes of the south,
Miss Annie Wheeler, daughter of Fighting
joe certainly has few peers. In her dainty
blue habit, military cap, silver-topped crop
and pretty riding boots, on her little brown
mare Cigarette, she is familiar sight to all for
many miles around her fathers plantation at
Wheeler. Ala. She is most intrepid rider,
being absolutely without fear, frequently per-
forming daring feats OF horsemanship which
would make q strong man hold his breat h,
with as much undaunted courage as ever the
gallant Little Joe" led a cavalry charge in the
late unpleasantness Nor are all her rides all in
vain. She is familiar with every cabin, nook
and corner in the countryside and mountains
near her home. and no one is ever sick or needy
or in trouble that she does no: help them by
pleasant, encouraging words and sweet smiles,
never forgetting something more substantial
The way il never too long or the road too
rugged for her to carry in her arms any sized
bundle for the relief of those IN need, fitting
like sunbeam easily as bird over all the
difficulties in her path. Horseback riding is to
her the ''panacea of all ills"
