The bill seems designed to cure all
the Ills that man is heir to- said MIR.
Baker And from the title which Mr.

FRUIT FOR THE FAMILY.
How to Have q Fair Variety All the Year
Around.


1 The question is often asked: What
| shall I plant in order to obtain IL full
supply Of fresh fruit for a family the
year round22' 1t is difficult to give ~
precise list, Is in some seasons the crop
may be many times greater than i'll
others; and again, some will bear abun-
dainty and others fail in the same sea-
SON. The following, however, Will
serve as an approximation:
The earliest fruits, about the hrst
of summer, will be the strawberries.
A selection of the most productive
sorts, well cultivated, with the runner
kept cut off, will afford about n quart
a day from each square rod for a month.
Three or four square rods will, there
fore, give an abundant supply for u
family. -Four or five hundred plants
will be sufficient for this extent Of
ground. These will be followed by the
earliest cherries, and by currants, rasp-
berries and g~ooseberries. Two dozen
bushes of each of the four best sorts OF
currants, the same number of raspber-
ries and two dozen of gooseberry will.
il well cultivated, furnish an abundant
supply. One dozen cherry trees will be
enough. Two OF three dozen bushes OF
the blackberry will supply a quart a
day for some weeks toward the close OF
summer. Apricots, early apples and
early pears, and a few of the earliest
pIunls, will commence the Isl of
abundance which, with the later varie-
ties of these fruits, Will last till lear
winter. Winter apples and pears, and
all the good keeping varieties of the
grape, will continue the supply until
spring. L~ong-keeping apples. if placed
in a good, cool fr~uit-roon or cellar, will
continue until the commencement OF
the new supply of strawberries

lected by the sheriff was an aged In.
dian who mad acted in that capacity
for 40 years and had grown gray in his
CORY work. When he stepped out in
front Of the man TO be shot and drew
his pistol the heartbroken wife wept as
few Indians yer weep. Kneeling be.
side her condemned husband, she was
soon clasped in his arms for the last
time in life. The two little children,
without realizing the awful situation.
sobbed and cried most bitterly because
their mother was weeping, and the hus-
band and father. whose impending fate
had not moved him. and who, Indian
like, had shown no emotion, was forced
to give way to his feelings. No longer
able to u troll himself. his tears min
glcd with those of his loved ones. To
the few spectators of that scene the
situation vas one neyer to be forgotten
The sheriff was finally forced to tear
the weeping wife from the arms Of her
husband; then, with one last. lingering
look, she clasped her baby closer to her
bosom, took her little boy by the hand,
and hurried away through the woods
to be nut Of hearing of the fatal shot.
The sheriff unbuttoned the coat and
vest OF the condemned man, barring his
left breast: then, feeling for the beat
ing heart, he pressed his finger for an
instant on the spot to give the execu-
tioner g mark at which to shoot. This
done, be held n ofJames' hands while
y deputy sheriff held the other. The
old exccutioner sat on a stump 90 feet
away and as soon as the officers
stretched out james arms he raised his
