had made a horrible mistake and sworn

They say their father had not had an
account at the Shoe and Leather bank

lists are exempt from all disaster from
drouth such as has disminished the
crops and profits of eastern fruit grow
ers this year. In the far western arid
country, where growers must depend
wholly upon irrigation for moisture
for their orchards, the expense of
dltching is compensated by the good
result that they can absolutely regu-
late the water supply the trees shall
receive. The soil of the Rocky noun
tain slopes is peculiarly adapted for
fruits, grapes and berries, and the
people OF those regions more and more
are entering upon this branch of farm
ing. In New Mexico orchards are be-
ing planted on a scale rivaling those
OF California, with the advantage that
finer quality of fruit can be raised to
be sold in a much nearer market. A
scheme is now under way to plant a
10000 acre orchard in the Pecos valley,
near Roswell, with the intention that
1000 acres of trees shall be set out this
year. A Missouri firm will plant /, 900
acres of land to apple trees this
year in Chavez county, and in several
places in that county the preparations
for setting out hundreds of acres are
being made The shipment of grapes
to the east from the upper and middle
Rio Grade valleys has for years been
an important and increasing item Of
railroad freight, and this fruit com
mands price usually a half higher
than the California grapes.

sible, while Treloir, realizing that cleo
ton was possibility, made good
fight and was carried into office on the
memorable tidal wave of 1894.

THERE is nothing foreign about the
st. Louis and her sister ship. Ameri-
can materials alone have been en-
ployed in their construction. They
are of American model and design
and original in many respects. They
have been constructed with American
labor and skill from truck to keelson.
With an extreme length of 554 feet
and a gross tonnage of 1910, they
will be the largest ocean liners with
\ two exceptions, and with engines cap
able of developing 10000 collective
horsepower they will certainly be 30
knot ships, and it is not improbable
that they viii be record breakers, al
though the American line has emphat-
ically disclaimed any expectation of
surprising the Campania and Lucania
in speed. They are practical, all
around business ships, carrying large
cargo as well as 1,440 passengers of
all classes, and built with view to
earning dividends rather than for
ocean racing.

For Modern Cooking.

AS matter of useful information it
may be stated that whenever cook
ing receipt calls for baking powder
the Royal should be used The re-
ceipt will be found to work better and
surer, and the bread, biscuit, rolls
cakes, dumplings, crusts, pud-
dings, crullers or whatever made
will be produced sweeter, light
er, finer favored, more dainty, palat-
able and wholesome. Besides, the
Royal" win 20 further or has greater
leavening power, and is therefore more
economical than any other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream of tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way Of raising. Modern
cooking and expert cooks do not sane
ton this old way. In all such receipts
the Royal Baking Powder should be
substituted without fail
The greatest adopts in the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal only,
and the authors of the most popular
cook books and the teachers of the sue
cessful cooking schools, with whom the
best results are imperative, are careful
to impress their readers and pupils
with the Importance of its exclusive
employment.
The Royal Baking Powder is the
greatest help of modern times to per-
feet cooking, and every receipt re-
curing a quick-raising ingredient
should embody it.

BETTING is a bad thing always. 1t

makes a foolish bet. A ride in a
wheelbarrow as method OF paying an
election bet seems silly and childish

which a devotee of Hill

vote that Morton received above the

IT is argued in favor of the new
small calibre magazine rifle which is
to be used in the United States army
that it viii. be effective in piercing
stone or brick walls and earthworks.
The bullet being encased in hard
mantle the fire is concentrated, and
regular breaches are thus made. An
other point made in favor of the rife
J is that at a thousand yards and over
the bullet does not lodge in a mans
body, but traverses it readily, making
straight wound which can be better
understood and more readily treated.
Bones and joints also will be less
