The people of North Woburn, Del,
are raising money to erect a monument
in Wilmington in honor of the Baldwin
apple. On the monument will be the
following inscription:
''This pillar, erected in 1895 by the
Rumford Historical association, marks
the estate where, in 1898, Samuel
Thompson, Esq, while locating the line
of the Middlesex canal, discovered the
first Pecker apple, later named the
Baldwin. Exact spot, $50 feet west,
10 degrees north"
1t was called the Pecker apple be-
cause of the great number of wood
peckers around the tree when. discov-
cred. Samuel Thompson and his broth
er Abijah grated a large number of
trees from the Pecker tree. Col. Loamzi
Baldwin, the well-known engineer, did
a great deal to make these gratis cele-
brated, and the apple was therefore
called after him.

Mrs. Belle Farrell, pretty Maryland
widow, was acquitted recently after be-
ing on trial for week or more on the
charge of numbering her husband. The
evidence was rather damaging to the
fair defendant, but that didn't cut any
ice with the jury. When the verdict
was brought in Mrs. Farrell threw her
arms around the neck of her attor-
ney, the sheriff put his arms around
the waist of the liberated woman, and
finally the jury was invited out to
'lfquor up at the expense of the de-
Tending attorney. Mrs. Farrell selected
her second husband before her first
one died and will be married as soon
as she lays off her mourning.

LIFE IN PuNxsEv COUNTRY.
A Trout-Fishing Incident with . Real
Snake at the End of 1t.

A Trout-FIshing Incident with . Real
Snake at the End of It
One of the greatest places for trout
in America is up in Cameron county,
about nine miles from the Sinnema-
boning. 1t is very rough country, full
of gnats, mosquitoes and rattlesnakes,
but that is to be expected. Trout do
not care for polished society. In fact,
they are of a rather retiring nature and
shrink from the fascinating stare of the
dude.
Walter Brown, Charley Bulduc and
George Kurtz were up there last week
fishing. They caught trout to their
hearts content-all they wanted-and
the largest ones they ever saw. A ten
inch trout was only ordinary. They
could catch a basketful in half day.
Charley Bulduc was the most skilful
manipulation of the hook and line, and,
of course, carried of the honors and
most of the trout. But the others
didn't try very hard.
They paid dollar a day for board
menu, bread and butter, rye coffee and
bacon Their landlord, a jolly old
soul with a last years straw hat, a
straggly goatee and a general bent-over
appearance, came in one morning with
large rattlesnake tied to a string.
ooh, let me kill it," said Walter
Brown, in an excited tone. 81 will STAY
it, tear off its rattles and go home and
exhibit them as a trophy"
'You kin hev it for a dollar n a
half an do what yer mind with it, an
sWered the landlord
But Walter was a little short OF
change and concluded it wasn't worth
one-fifty to be a hero.-Funxsutaw

The Office Boy.

The new Office boy gave it out the second
night he worked that in his opinion the
old office boy, who was transferred to an
other department, was =" a slob." OF course
the old Office boy heard OF it, and the result
was dialogue like this:
''Say, Bill. dey tells me down stairs dat
youse sed 1 wuz a slOb. Sect"
"Well, what ye goin to do about it?
See?''
"WeIl, all wants to know is did yez

or anywhere else. See?''

'WeIl, wot ye goin to do about it. See?''
'Wen, youse will find out pretty soon
wot I'm goin to do about it. See?''
"Wen, don't t'ink I'm a slob, or I'll

ATTORNEYS AT LAW
Muetlage Made From Onion Juice.

A very convenient mucilage can be
made out of onion juice by anyone who
wishes to use it, says Good Housekeep-
ing. A good-sized Spanish onion, after
being boiled for a short time, will
yield, on being pressed, a large guam
tity of very adhesive fluid This is
used extensively in various trades for
FASTING paper onto tin or zinc, or even
glass, and the tenacity with which it
holds would surprise anyone on max
ing the first attempt. It is a cheap and
good mucilage, and answers as well
as the more costly cements.-Invention.

Ten HOnra

A French geographical society pro-
poses to divide the face of the clock
into ten hours of ten minutes and a
hundred seconds each. This is to make
time uniform with the decimal system
or count by tens. The count by twelves
which now shows on the face of the
clock survives from the earliest times
probably from long before the inven-
ton of letters.
