The Original Joe Bowers.


Washington Post: The other dav a
representative resting from his labors
sought to cheer the tedium of the cloak
room by humming tune. He didn't
mum 1t well, nor was it much of melo-
dy. Alter he hummed it a bit he lifted
up his voice in q soft, guarded way and
sang the first stanza:
My name 1t is Joe Bowers,
L la e a brother Ike
came from Missouri
All the way from Pike.
One OF the Missouri representatives
looked up. THAT song went all over
the country when / was bow" he said.
land 1t was universally popular in my
state. | don't know why it was 80 much
the fashion, or how anybody came to
write it in the frat place. But the hero.
Joe Bowers, knew very we'll. He
was q rollicking, daring, breezy, bright,
good fellow as ever lived. He was
originally from Pike county. He was a
forty-niner, and was one OF the fret to
cross the plains and burst into Califor-
MIA. Here he, with those thousands
OF other first people of the slope, fur
nlshed another song maker subject:
The days of old,
The days of gpld,
The days Of 40.
Joe Bowers, however. did not remain
with the gold. He came back to Mis-
souri, and when knew him President
Buchanan mad just named him post
master at Hannibal. He was success,
too-one of the beat men in Northeast
Missouri. Of course he is dead and
gone now. One OF Joe Bowers's daugh-
tiers lives right in Hannibal now, the
wife OF an eminent lawyer named Har-
rison."

The Earliest Fruit.
@. P. Taft, in the Orange News, says
the earliest fruit is the most profitable.
The earliest cherries sold in Chicago last
| year for 81 per pound. The earliest
+! peaches, apricots and plums bring the
best prices.
Now, if we can find a fruit that is
earlier than any of these, and reasonably
palatable, it also ought to be profitable.
Such ia the loquat, which ripens early
in the spring, from four to six weeks
ahead of the cherry. 1t is a matter of
surprise that more attention has not
been accorded it, for it is beautiful.
hardy tree and an excellent bearer at q
time when other fruit is scarcest.
Let me give my experience in this
matter, for 1t is fact and not theory
which is most convincing. In the win
ter of 1887 planted about so very small
6-month-old seeding loquats as an ex-
pertinent. | had also five trees 8 years
older IN the front yard. By 1890 the
trees had begun to bear and sent most
OF the crop OF that year and 1891 to SEN
Diego. where all but q small quan tity
were sold for cents per pound In 1892
| disposed OF the whole crop to a firm n
Santa Ana at Al cents net. Last year.
1898, very nearly all were sent to San
Francisco, where they sold for the most
part at Is cents per pound. The highest
price was 221s cents for my best variety,
the Advance, and the lowest was 8
cents at the close of the season, in Nav.
alter the cherries had com menced to
food the market. A small lot was
sent to Chicago in car with oranges.
and was sold there for IL cents per
pound, netting 8 cente, a very satisisc-
tory return.
Every year, except the last, the crop
was aoont douols in quantity that OF
the previous one. Last year there was
falling OF, owing partly to my having
cut oack many OF my young trees for
budding.
These returns are nearly all from seed
ling but OF rather better than the aver
age run. The highest price, 22i1 cents.
was for some OF my very largest. the
best being inches long and in circnm-
terence. Being so superior to the Others
| have named it the Advance, and from
this propagate almost exclusively, both
by seeds and buds.
Now. my object in making known
these returns instead OF keeping them
all to myself is TO induce others to plant
and to give good reasons for doing 80.
If large number of orchards were
planted in this vicinity it would be to
the advantage OF all concerned. as there
is always, within reasonable limits. q
better market tor large than small
quantities.
Then, too, BY indicioua salection Of
seed from such KINDS as the Advance.
We may hope to rapidly improve both

National Handwriting.

If individual character influences in
dividual handwriting, national charac.
ter should influence national handwrit-
ing. Authorities tell us that such is the
case; that the art of the Italian, the
pride Of the Spaniard. the ~vivacity Of
the Frenchman, are all displayed in
their ~penmanshIp.
II may be 50. but as a rule il would
take an expert or an enthusiast to tell
the difference between the writing Of
the shrewd Scotcbman. the staid Eng
lishman and the lively Irishman. Ger
man handwriting. however. is truly in
dicative of the national character; ii
requires nearly as much patience to
read it as to write il.
On the other hand, one seeks in vain
to discover the temper of a jew from
the dots and points Of Hebrew or to de-

English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver

We had 81, SOS "habituals" in 1858;
now the evil roll is only so, 153.
When the population of England was
10, 257. 900 in 1869, there were 2,5s9

now, with a population of 27,s3O, 179.
the number is only 947. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our jalls

the population had increased by 8 ,000,-

1870, 1919, 391 persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1891, with an addition Of
more than Z 1000. 600 inhabitants, there

He said the opponents Of this bill were
determined to kill every other industry
IN this country except that of clipping
coupons from bonds. He believed that as
soon as the money realized by the sale of

He had talked with a gentleman who
said that if the pending bill passed not
another bond could be placed in New
York. If the credit of the gov
ernment was at the mercy Of Wall
