An Oklahoma Youth, Furious with Rage,
 Murders His Brother.
 FL RENO, Ok. Sept. 14.-The home of J. S. Mathews, 30 miles south of here in the Chickasaw country, was the scene of a terrible tragedy. Two sons of MT. Mathews were playing together and Barney, aged r, leased and irri- tated his younger brother, aged T., until he became furious with anger and after throwing number of things at his tormentor he ran into the house and grabbed his fathers shotgun. Just as he came out of the door with it he met his older brother coming in, and, still beside himself with anger, he pressed the gun against Barney's breast and pulled the trigger. The charge entered Barney's breast and killed him instantly. The entire fam. fly are prostrated over the terrible affair. The youthful murderer has not been put under arrest and probably will not be, owing to his extreme youth and the great provocation he was la boring under.

APPLE YIELD LIGHT.

This Years Crop Is Said to Be Little More
 Than Half of Last Years.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 14.-Re- ports from the fruit belt of south Mis-. souri and Arkansas indicate that the apple crop this year will be far short of last years yield. The estimate of the department of agriculture places the apple crop of that section at about GA per cent of what it was last year. This estimate is believed, by the fruit grower to be in excess of what the real crop will net. They believe that the yield of good apples will amount to little more than half of last years crop. But this shortage need not affect the price of apples, for last year the apple grow. ing belt of New York and Michigan yielded light crops. This year the re. ports from those sections show that the crop will be larger than ever.

 That gives me a stitch," roared Gollicky as he threw down a literary review and Rlared around the family circle. Gollicky always roars when he wants to give emphasis to his senti- ments, yet his heart is as tender as that of good woman.
 What is it, dear?' asked Mrs. Gol.. licky, who is never disturbed by those outbursts on the part of her husband.
 What is it? Why some fool critic here. who writes as though his dictum had the seal of divine confirmation. says that Wordsworth, Milton, Brown ing and others who play SO skillfully upon the chords of ones soul possess. that power because their writings are but the reflection of their own most pure and virtuous lives"
 Isn't it true, dear?"
 Not within 40 rows of apple trees. It's rubbish. That fellows a S3d de- gree chump Most pure and vir,uous lives, indeedv' with snort. How about Byron. Goldsmith. Johnson and that old squad of ale-guzzlers that the latter had about him? They jingled the soul chords, didn't they? Look at Lumpley on the Evening Twospot. He can write the most refined senti- ment, the most exalted views of life. the most touching pathos, yet he never shows the possession of a good moral impulse, much less a pure and virtuous life. And there's old man Blinker. He can set the whole crowd weeping at prayer-meeting and pie. ture an existence that would leave the recording angel to make all his entries on one side of the ledger. And what's Blinker?'
 Don't now, Gollicky."
 "I will, too. Blinker is wolf that bleats like lamb and wears sheep's clothing. He's white sepulcher He draws beautiful thoughts from the fountain of corruption. He wrecked bank, swindled widows and orphans, worked rotten land boom and bea. me in horse trade. A man can be demon and yet write or talk like saint"
 "Why don't you take to writing, papa?" innocently asked the youngest, and Gollicky went grumbling to bed, wondering whether she regarded him as a demon or saint.-Detroit Free Press,
