AT O'BRlEN'S.

Oliver and Kate Byron, with strong
supporting company, presented at O'Bri-
ems last night 1.-THE Ups and Downs OF
Life" a splendid melo-drama In four
acts. The plot Is strong, and the lines
forceful While deep-laid and carefully
worked out, it is supplied with a suffi-
cheney of humor to make 1t doubly APP
preclable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Byron are naturally the
centers of attraction, though Miss Ma
gill and Mr.. Fred Warren are very much
in evidence and proved excellent sup
port. Miss Beaman Is also very clever.
The others in the cast were fair.
Louise Valentine, with her bangs and
nimble feet, captured the audience.
COMING. -
Charles Hoyt has written many farce
comedies, but none more irresistibly fun
ny than "a Texas Steer, " which comes
to the opera house next month for a sim
gle performance. 1t is one continuous
roar of laughter from the rise Of the cur
tain on the prologue until the final fall
at the end of the third act. This satire
on a phase Of American life so familiar to
everybody and the objects that fill the
pathway of a victorious politician, are SO
skillfully worked out and such humor-
Gus vein that mummy could scarcely
refrain from laughing. The company H.
promised as the best yet seen In the
play. and q side-splitting perfotinancec can
be safely anticipated.

Mr.. e. st. John, president of the

as taking most hopeful view of the bus

a marked change in sentiment Is now
apparent. IMPROVEMENT can be seen, but
the greatest gain is in the confidence for
the future. Il do not look for any great
or sudden stride to be made" he says,
'as the new administration must be seat

tied first and people will wait before tax
ing important steps. But the whole
south is on the eve of prosperity. The
past depress;on is row to be followed by

We had some little chaff over 1t, and
the game went on. didn't know till
next day how near ruin had been just
then. When 1 went to my Office in the
morning I found that my cashier had

having several thousand dollars In

count rs overdrawn. That does not
sound like ruin, 1 confess, but was the
trustee of certain funds amounting to
about $4,000, and was called on for n
settlement that very day. If it hadn't
been for my winnings the night before
/ wouldn't have settled, and If 1t hadn't
been for winning that pot on pair of

game, for / was q loser before that
hand. The consequences would have
been frightful.
Another narrow escape l had was
from being a married man. was en-
gagged to be married to q lady who
broke the engagement because she
had learned that 1 had played poker.
Perhaps I ought not speak of this as
an escape, but know that she made the

erably unhappy. What would have
happened if 1 had married her cant
say, and I don't enjoy thinking about

"The most wonderful piece of luck
that ever happened to me, though, was
in poker game ir San Francisco, when
the stakes were net particularly heavy.
In fact, we were playing five-dollar

than q couple of hundred in the game.
The men in it wcrc all members of my
club and were supposed to be gentle
men, though one Of them, rs it proved,
was not. We had played till after mid
night, and there vas nobody but the
five players In the room when we
caught this fellow cheating.
"The accusation made row, of
course, and the fellow drew revolver
and attempted to slipot the fellow who
had accused him. Another man struck
ut the pistol as he fired, and the bullet
grazed my temple. That was as close
call as anybody conld want; but the
luck of it lay in the TACT that was ris-
ing from my chair Us the shot was fired,
and my foot slipped as was in the act
Of rising. This caused me to lose my
balance and in falling back, my head
just moved out of range, so that I had

stead of bullet i'll the brain, rs would

"In order to save scandal we al
lowed the fellow to resign from the
club, and the story was never made
public. 1 thought the thing over pretty

concluded that poker was rather too ex-
citing for me. L think got supersti-
tious about it; But anyhow, 1 have

THE WOOLLY-APHiS.
Different Modes Of Killing This Very
destructive Insect.

Destructive iESect.
The Missouri experiment statiro has
made extensive experiments with diff
ferent methods of killing the woolly-
aphis or apple-root plant louise. Follow
ing is q summary of the discoveries
made:
The limb form of this insect can be
readily killed by one or two thorough
sprayings with strong kerosene emul-
sion. Apple seedlings, buds and gratis
should be planted in SINAI! trench
filled with finely powdered tobacco or
tobacco dust and lightly covered with
earth. This will keep the woolly-aphis
away. Apple nursery stock should have
liberal supply Of tobacco dust applied
to the roots every spring in order to kill
the woolly-aphis and prevent it from es-
tablishing itself there. 1t should be APP
piled by removing some of the earth
from around the roots, filing the ex-
cavaton with tobacco dust, and lightly
covering it with earth. Newly cleared
timber land should be cultivated in corn
or other crop for two years before the
apple trees are set out, in order to kill
the woolly-aphis that may be on the
roots of the wild crab and allied trees.
Apple nursery stock should have the
roots cleaned and dipped for minute in
strong kerosene emulsion, in order to
kill the woolly-aphis that may be there.
In planting apple trees tobacco dust
should be freely used among and over
all the roots, and close around the trunk,
In order to kill and prevent the wooily-
aphis from establishing itself there.
Every spring, as soon as settled warm
weather appears, each tree should have
liberal supply of tobacco dust applied
to its roots by removing the earth from
around the trunk for distance Of two
feet and four inches in depth. evenly
filing this with the tobacco dust and
covering it with earth. The root form
of the woolly-aphis may be cheaply and
easily killed and kept away from an
apple tree by the liberal use of tobacco
dust. About five or six pounds of this
substance should be applied as above di-
rected to the roots of every infested tree,
and half this amount should be applied
in similar manner each succeeding
spring, costing approximately two
cents per tree per year. This insect
may also be killed by injecting one fluid
ounce Of carbon bisulphide two feet
away from the trunk on two sides of the
tree, but the use of this substance is not
advised except in extreme cases, since a
little carelessness may irjure the tree,
and it is always necessary Immediately
