A well known Austin gentleman found
himself in very embarrassing position.
He had left his money at home, and not
a nickel or car ticket could he find
In his clothing. He was about to leave
the bobtail car when gentleman, a real
gentleman, with sinister cast of counte-
nance, rendered him nickel. He gladly
accepted it and dropped it into the box.
The grateful party then shook his I'M
known benefactor's hand, thanking him
for the confidence and accommodation,
and asked his address so he could retuA
the money.
Never mind" responded the gener-
GUS man, tits counterfeit ANYHOW.
The street car company will make that
hound of a driver redeem it. I've got
no spite at you. He is the scoundrel I
am after. He has trified with the affec-
tions OF female relative of mine. but
this will show him what kind of a relent-
less hyena l am when my blood is up.

PACKING FRUIT.
One of the Most Important Problems Be-
fore the Growers of To-day.

One of the Most Important Problems Be-
fore the Growers of To-day.
1t often happens that of two fruit
growers whose places join and who raise
fruit that is every way similar the one
will get good prices that will pay him a
round profit, while the other will scarce
ly cover the cost of gathering and trans
portation, says Colman's Rural World.
The difference lies in the matter of ham
ding. The one grower carefully studies
the markets, grades his fruits, rejects
all the culls or imperfect specimens, and
then packs the fruit in an attractive
manner, while the other simply dumps
it into boxes, good, bad and Indifferent,
all mixed together. 1t is not surprising
that under such conditions money ia
often lost on shipments. It would in.
deed be surprising if this were not SO.
Many reputation has been made by
careful attention to the grades and pack.
ing of fruit, and all shippers agree that
this is one of the most important prob
lens before the growers of to-day. 1t is
a problem which becomes more impor-
tant from year to year, as the production
increases, and consequently the compe-
tition increases also. As between two
shippers of fruit of equal quality it is
the question of attractive packing that
decides the difference in prices.
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1894-06-22

A western judge was listening to an
attorney who had mean habit of inter
polating remarks into the proceedings of
the court. What he said was scarcely
ever heard by any one, as he mumbled
rather than spoke and would never re-
peat remark. One day he said some
thing which nobody heard except the
judge, who at once became exceedingly
angry. Turning to the court bailiff, he
Numbered out, Adjourn this court"
Then, as soon as the bailiff had done his
duty, the Judge stepped from the bench,
beckoned to the lawyer to follow him
and entered the clerks office. The law
yer went along. So did two or three
other people.
AS soon as the judge got fairly into
the room, he seized lawbook, and turn
ing upon the lawyer he fairly screamed:
81 was on the bench awhile ago, and you
insulted me. l was judge then. am
a man now, and the man will have an
apology for the judge, Or he will take it
out of your hide. You might make an
apology to the judge, but you would
not mean it, Now, however, the case is
more serious, and unless you give me
what l ask l will smash your head"
The lawyer made most abject apology,
which the judge accepted, and then the
party went back to the courtroom and
resumed businessman Francisco Argo-
naut,
