to gather fruit from trees at an Gle

three ladders, hinged at the top, which
when spread affords a much safer
perch than the delusive stcp-ladder,
and at its apex very convenient sup
port is formed for "holding the bag"
into which the fruit may be placed
without bruiSing. Mr.. III. is also the
owner of patented automatic car
coupler, a model of which works to
perfection.

There should be no obstacle placed in
the way, real or imaginary, of any

When he came to. everything was

asked if he knew different ones with
whom he had associated replied he
had never seen them before. His
father said, I" Had we better 60 homer"

Henry Williams is the only son of a
wealthy farmer, young man of more
than ordinary talent who has had the
best of educational and social advan-

the young men of Olympia will take it
as warning against one of the most
dangerous habits. H.
