The Story of n sninihn.

remember being called year or two
ago, in my capacity as police reporter,
to tenement on the west side-I think
it was in West Thirty-seventh street
where a painter had that day cut his
throat. Standing there by the corpse /
learned from the sobbing widow that
the man was desperate for want of work.
He had been on the streets for weeks,
and his children were starving. 1t hap
pened that had been for just the same
length of time looking for man 10 paint
my house out in the country, where
painters were scarce and very busy. |
had just made up my mind to advertise
that day. There lay this painter dead
because he could find no one to give him
work, while would have been glad TO
pay him more than the wages of his
trade TO get him 10 work for me.
Had there been any means of bring
ing us together to which we would both
naturally have resorted, he would have
been alive and his family self support
ing. Now it seemed certain to become
burden upon the public.
1t was not the only instance of that
sort by very many had come across

rlncer.s Big Cherry rrns..

In some remote age the deep, whirling
waters of the American river at Monte
Rio washed out the rock layers Of long
previous geological formation TO the
depth of probably 200 feet or more, and
this excavation being filled to half its
depth by alluvial material from the
sides of adjacent hills, formed deposit
over sixty feet deep and some ten or
twelve acres in present area.
The waters of the American now form
only small stream, the alluvial deposit
that has made the giant cherry tree
growth being ten or n dozen feet higher
than the usual current of the deep river
channel. The soil of Hectors cherry
orchard has been bored to over sixty
feet in depth without touching bed rock
or rock of any kind, the alluvial quality
continuing to this great depth. On
about four acres of this soil black Tar
tartan cherry trees were set in 1862 or
1868 by ancestral relatives of the pres
ent owner, several smaller orchards or
additions having been planted since.
There are 100 large trees that yield 40
boxes, or 400 pounds each, in alternate
years. The trees are kept trimmed of
all dead wood and lime washed every
season, and are still making vigorous and
healthy growth. The tallest tree is 90
feet high, with head from 90 TO 55 feet
in width, and over a score more of the
100 large trees are from 40 to 90 feet tall,
with corresponding width of top growth
so that the excess in height of the tallest
tree is not very conspicuous us-Country

nice looking old gentleman with a

pointment clerk of the treasury one day
with an application for place, indorsed
by some letters of recommendation.
When the official asked him a question
he said: PLEASE write it down. am so
deaf that could not hear a sound if a
cannon were fred off close TO my ear"
General McCauley thought that this
was rather disadvantage for an appli-
cant for employment as a clerk, but he
asked the stranger to write his name and

head. 1T is impossible" he said. Il

an absolutely perfect black mustache
attached toit. Ii has a grewsome effect,
too. as there Is no neck visibly attached
TO the head, and / have often wondered
If 1t would be possible to cut mans
head off SO that none of the neck would
be left on.
This face persists in getting in front
OF me and staring at me with those
meek eyes. No matter which end of an
elevated car 80 in just as soon as am
comfortably seated in seat l can feel
that face looking at me; and sure
enough there it always is-above the
windows directly across the car. If 1
open the advertising pages of a maga-
zine that face viii be the frst thing to
meet my eye. On the street am always
seeing it ON the billboards or some ad-
vertising dodger.
You may say that this is all very
easily explained by the fact of the ad-
vertisement being very common one
that everybody would be running
against. On the contrary it is rather of
an uncommon one, but wherever it is /
am sure to find it, ] don't know what
the article is the face advertises, and
don't want TO. only want to be freed
from the nightmare of that mask.-New
