An Iowa Prodigy.

Considerable interest is manifest in
Creston, Iowa, over the wonderful pro-
clivities for learning of little Dale
Slough, the six year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. B. Slough. Little Dale's re.
tentive memory and his capabilities for
learning are extraordinary.
He first began to develop these pow
ers at the age of two years. when his
father bought him a set of alphabet
blocks. These he learned rapidly and
upon some of them being lost told
which blocks were missing. and the
letters upon them. He started to go to
school last September, and his rapid
advancement vas a source Of consider
able worry to his instructors. Promo
ton followed promotion in quick sue
cession, and finally some of the teach
ers went to the parents and complained
that he outstripped his classmates 80
quickly as to make it almost impossible
to grade him. Dale is at present read.
ing the fifth reader and studying his
tory at home. He locks horns with
almost anyone in a spelling contest.
Take the first reader, in which his
earlier studies were, and pronounce
words from it st random and he will
tell you the page and lesson where the
word is found, and if you should intro
duce a strange word to entrap him he
will know it.
Mr.. Slough, his father, is a railroad
man, and his time table is of great in
terest to Dale. Early in the morning,
before his parents are awake, he will
be sitting up in bed deciphering the
meaning of the intricate column OF
figures.
Sometime ago Mr.. Slough happened
to 9llude to the date the pay car would
arrive a month or two in advance, and
named a certain date that he figured
it would arrive. Dale instantly denied
this on the grounds that the date men
toned would be Sunday, and examina'
ton proved him right.

A Pitiable spectacle,

There was a pitiable exhibition of
senile rage at the Nicholson house last
night. Some young gentlemen com.
prising a Democratic club, more enthu-
siastic than thoughtful, repaired to that
hostelry to serenade the newly inaugu-
rated Governor. In q speech made in
acknowledgment of the compliment,
the chief executive of Tennessee saw fit
to attack with coarse personal epithets
men who have opposed him in the con.
test for his Office. No possible resent
ment could be felt at such an outbreak
of impotent spleen. 1t awakens pity
and regret only that the Governor of
Tennessee should make such an exhi-
bition of himself. No such violent
TRADE could have come from a man
whose conscience told him that he oc.
cupied an unassailable position

The Care OF Fruit Trees,

When the trees bloom and the fruit
is first formed, the grower can easily
form an opinion in regard to picking
off a portion, should the tree show in
dications of being we'll laden. 1t is
better to pick off the fruit not desired
while it is very small, so as to tax the
vitality of the tree as little as possible.
1t will enable the tree to grow larger
and better fruit by thinning out should
there be appearance of heavy bearing,
and thus avoid propping the limbs later
on. Spraying should begin as early as
the eason permits, and 1t should be
done as often as the opportunity pre-
sents for 30 doing.

Last week the first of these were firod from

owner of liquor saloon in East Twenty-second

alleged personal wrongs.
There has been considerable III feeling be-

han entered Garbs's house this morning he
found Mrs. CARDS. who told her husband that a
caller wanted to see him. CARDS walked leisure
ly into tho hallway and was angrily accosted by
Sheehan. who demanded to know why CARDS
had been talking disparagingly about him.
CARDS denied the accusation. The alteration
between the two men grew fiercer, and CARDS
ordered Sheehan out. He was about to eject
Sheehan when the latter pulled knife and
stabbed him.
Although the blade sank deep CARDS con-
tinued TO advance upon Sheehan, who again
lunged with his knife. CARDS fell to the floor
the street. and surrendered himself to Patrol
man Thomas Hunter. Ho was locked up In the
