ing funny story on a man who conducts
an establishment near Tenth and Market

a pretty widow who lives next door to his

by which to converse, for the man was de-
tanned at his place of business and the
widows sewing kept her up stairs. The
policemen say that the two spent a good
deal Of their time talking through the rub
Der hose. They kept this up until last
Saturday afternoon. It was then that
small boy adjusted a piece of hose from
the hydrant to the center of the improvised
telephone and watched for the takers to
resume their conversation. The policemen
were standing near when the boy turned
on the water. The stream struck the man
squarely in the ear, nearly knocking him
down and thoroughly drenching him and
his place Of business. The woman, who
had been talking through the other end of
the hose at the time, received the full force
Of the water in her mouth. 1t knocked
her down and nearly strangled her. It
also spoiled her sewing material for that
day. The boy escaped. Cou-

There seems field for the sugar beet
in this country if dealers and factory
men will only let the farmer have
enough from the sale of it to pay him
for raising it. In 1891 we imported
great increase Of sugar over 1889.
A million acres of ground would be re-
CURED to raise the sugar needed for con-
sumption in the United States. The
Louisiana cane will only grow in the
hot region, and the beet certainly will
succeed we'll in some portions of the
country. IF the farmer can be assured it
will pay to raise it, that is all that is
necessary. =

Summer Fruits.

This will be a great year for Califor-
MIA fruits, it is said. The news is well
come in all tie districts Of the east in
which the April frost cut down even
the Strawberries untimely. The only
trouble is that as yet no way has been
found to distribute the luscious Califor-
MIA fruits among the people who are pin
ing and dying for want of it. Natures
food for the hot months is the acid
fruits.
A constituencies dealer has already
been sending out his circular to Califor-
MIA fruitgrowers telling them that the
times are so hard and fruit will be so
plentiful in their state that they must
not expect to get very good price for
anything this summer. It is the custom
to bear the market just preparatory to
the wholesale buying season.
California fruitgrowers complain al
ready that they cannot get paying prices
for their products, the rates being so
low that it is scarcely worth while ship
ping. In the eastern cities the California
fruit is so high that only comparatively
well to do people can purchase it at all
Somebody undoubtedly makes money.
Who is it? Meantime we hope to hear
no repetition of that scandal and out
rage Of few years ago, when many
schooner loads Of ripe red cherries were
dumped into New York bay because
the syndicate price could not be realized
on them and dealers were bound to
keep up prices. Those dealers ought to
have been dumped into the bay along
with their cherries.
