practice was confined to a half mile on either
side of the quarters. Early in the morning the
varsity crew received a thorough pair-oar drill.
and the mems watermanship in he shell at noon
was excellent. The freshmen, while not owing
as perfect as Capt. Biiley's men, appear to good
advantage, and send their craft ut a rafting

make a squirt. The stroke of both crews this year
is different from that of former crews seen

Tonight the varsity oarsmen are sleeping on
the steam yacht Peerless, which came up the

Even trade has its romnnces. The other day
Some merchants who have grown gray In the

"While l was still attending school my father
was compelled to suspend business. He and
another man owned u mill up In Now England
and o little retail dry goods store in Brooklyn.
My father attended TO tho mill and his partner
to tho retail business. One day my father
learned that his partner had absconded, after
raising all the money he could on tho firms
name. My father came to New York. and found
that after using every dollar ho had in tho
world he would still owe $500. lie turned his
assets over to his creditors, borrowed the $500
necessary TO pay his creditors dollar for dollar,
and went to work on a salary. After several
years Of hard work he paid back the $500, and
was free from debt once more.
AT that time my father was superintendent
OF a big Sunday school in Brooklyn. One OF the
women wit took an interest in the school was

capital, and banded him the $500 he had adj

My Orchard Experience In Fergus County.

What l did right; what 1 did
wrong and what / could not help.
My ground was a strong clay soil,
full OF lime on the open prairie, with
out protection. My trees were from
different nurseries and planted in
different years. My first and second
lots We're from the Geneva Nurseries,
New York, and were in all respects
satisfactory. My last were from the
Fayette Nurseries, Idaho, and were
in no respect satisfactory or accord
ing to order. All were planted
according to instructions, including
mulching, tieing the young trees to
stakes, leaning them a little to the
west and south. protecting the body
from the sun, hoeing, irrigating, cut
ting back the longest branches in the
fall Sd the rest would mature better
before cold weather mulching, wrap
ping the trunks with tar paper to
keep the rabbits and mice from eating
the bark, soaking the ground with
water late in the fall and thinning out
and trimming the tops in the spring.
This constituted the bulk of my
right doing. Where l did wrong
was in trimming them u little too
much and not putting pitch or salve
over the wound. This was the
greatest drawback of all. Next the
pocket gophers eating the bark OFF
the roots; next the clay soil crack
ing open i'm dry winters and pulling
the roots i'm two. These form the
bulk Of my wrong doing. The result

The total membership is 90, which

"Whereas, The extremely low

King George Of Greece Declares That lie Was
Anxious to Maintain Peace.

PARIS, April il2l.-The hecorrespondent
Of the La Journal at Athens had an
interview with King George of Greece
at the epalaceyesterday. His majesty
is quoted as saying he had believed
to the last moment that peace would
be maintained and did his utmost to
bring about pacific solution of the
matter in dispute. The king denied
that Greece commenced hostilities
against Turkey and argued that Tur-
key was not compelled to go to war
because of the incursion of a few in
surgents whom nobody could have
restrained.
Continuing, King George said:
1.-The truth is, we were attacked be-
cause Turkey was ordered to.attack
us. There never would have been
war but for certain intrigues which
will appear later. All the powers
are more or less against us. II they
wanted war they have got it. Such
is the result of the European concert.
Europe must understand that after
forcing us to war there can be no
question of limiting it. Our fleet is
destined to take an important part,
as will soon be learned. Greece un-
derstands that she must either be
victorious or disappear. The war
may be prolonged and bloody, but
it is now to late to stop. A great
crime has been committed against
the right and humanity in the Cretan
question and chastisement has now
commenced"
