really suppose we were-foolish In the
first place to fall in love; foolish to gel
married, and, lastly, foolish to spend oui
honeymoon in the Yosemite
Yes, they declared that to be the crown
ing act of all our foolish deeds, and they
washed their hands and cleared theil
skirts Of us entirely But, bless them, We
didn't care Alicia and l had fallen In
love with each other Just because W,
| couldn't help IL, and we didn't want &c
either-that is, we didn' { want TO "helI
It. " And we cared not straw what ouI
| friends thought or did so long as they LEI
us entirely alone.
And at the end of the week, when the
others started for the return trip, we proved
the integrity OF our intentions by remain
ing behind It was then late In Septem
Der, and soon. the guardian OF the valley
told u.s. the first snowflakes would fly and
not long after the Yosemite would be
closed entirely to the outside world
Yes indeedy, he said, there won't
be nobody In here except now and then q
logging team and whoever's left over So
I'd advise you two to get out mighty soon. "
But we don't want to get out" ex.
affrmatively 'We want to stay here all
winter, all alone"
"Yes, and don't you know Of some nice
little cabin we can hirep" asked Alicia.
ANY kind of hut will do, 80 long as Il
can be made warm and comfortable We
want to stay all by ourselves"
"Shol You don't sayl Yes, 1 do know
Of one. It's that log cabin over the river.
But it'll be awful lonesome, let me tell
you There won't be nobody but me
within mile and p'rhaps half q dozen
fam lies scattered over the whole seven
mile stretch Of the valley"
WHAT DO you mean that darling little
log hut among the apple trees, with the
tiny flower garden in front and the river
flowing byP"
"That's tho one. Tho man who built IL
has gone east; staid here one winter, and 1t
was too lonely for him. II you RELY want
it, can put you in possession at once"
"If we want itl" exclaimed, ready
to hug the old man on the spot. And
Twas almost afraid Alicia would hug him
then and there, but she didn't, only her
eyes shone. and she clapped her hands for
JOY.
"why, we don't want anything else in
this wide, wide worldi" she exclaimed
1T will be perfect, just too heavenly for
anythingr"
well, guess you'll want little some
thing else,' rejoined the dear old man,
some pervisions, for instance, fuel, and
the like. F"

the study of insects. Capt. Watson was
we'll known to entomologists as student
of butterflies, end his contributions to
knowledge we're highly esteemd.
Mr.. Aultfather would scrape the trees
before washing. With reference to winter
spraying, he recommends winter spray
ign when very strong poison is used.
Prof. Taft of Michigan strongly urges
winter spraying when it is desired to use
powerful insecticides, as quoted by Mr.
Aultfather.
Mr.. Holibaugh agreed with Mr.. Bitter
as to washing the body of the trees but
would not scrape them, but would leave
the rough bark for home for the Lady
Bug, which he called the fruit growers
best friend.
Mr.. Roth would whitewash the body Of
the trees and spray the tops when the
leaves were off. Mr.. Aultfather believes
that heavy coat of whitewash protects
the tree from the hot rays of the sun
A Bulletin from the Ohio Experiment
Station says that white wash on the body
of fruit trees retards the opening of the
bloom and may thus save the young fruit
from late frosts.

QUERY
If you were planting 1000 currant
bushes what varieties would you plantI.
Clayton Holl would plant Fay.
Mr.. Holibaugh, would add the Lady
Versailles and Cherry currants.
Mr.. Faust is for Fay.
Mr.. Aultfather adds to the Fay and
Lady Versailles the Victoria.
Mr.. Bitter asks why his currant bushes
are dying.
Mr.. Faust thinks they have occupied
the same ground too long. The old
wood should be removed, and bushes
transplanted.
ON ORCHARDS:
P. J. Palmer reports orchards in good
order and peach trees in especially good
condition.
Mr.. Faust says it is to soon to predict
as to fruit prospects but if the weather
does not get too cold there is no reason
why we may not have plenty of fruit
next year.

The Natchez Democrat Don't Object.

The Natchez Democrat Of last Fri
day in the course OF an article on the
succession does not object to the ap-
pointment Of Gen. Robert Lowry and
says: -.
''The friends of Ex-Governor Lowry
are, in view of the fact that there Is
doubt as to the naming of Mr.. Money
for the place, are booming him, and
from the way the talk is going, IT is
not Improbable that Governor Nc
