Charlie Pattison's Experiences in :

Congress, Colo. That was a boom
mining town in 1888, and miners
Aocked in there by the hundreds on
account of a strike Claims were
gobblcd up like hot cakes.
Under the mining law, after 5000
worth Of work is done on claim it is
necessary to insert legal notice in a
newspaper Of general circulation for a
period Of three months. My father
held an Office in San Juan county,
and while out visiting him saw an
opportunity to lease a newspaper
plant and make a lot Of money rum
ming legal notices. | did So For
several months | did land office
business. 1t was a thriving little
town.
"The business Of the town enabled
the postmaster to make about $l,5oO
a wear. A few months before there
was to be another read ustment Of the
postmaster's salary things began to
drag at Congress. The mines were
not panning out very well. There
was strike made, at Telluride, and
all Of the miners picked up and went
to that place. They were followed
BY the merchants, saloon men, gam
blers, dance hall people and all.
Within a week there was no one LETT
there but the postmaster, James Ed
wards, and myself Edwards did not
care to give up his postotfice as long
as it paid SO well. He was from Ohio

publications. | was certain to gel
my money for the notices as soon as
they had run the required length Of
time, SO could not leave. We had
everything our own way. woulc

would help me write hot stuff, set II
up, and pull the lever to an ole
Washington hand-press. Inc post
Office business was confined almos
wholly to handling the circulation o
my paper-the Red Mountain Pilot
about 30 copies.
"rhe day that the legal notice
las. appeared told Edwards that
was going to pull up stakes AM
leave. His big salary ran anothe
month, and he wanted me to stay
offering to divide up, but that was n
inducement. When he found that

was II IL inches against 8 IL inches
for the unpruned tree. This year the
twO-year experimental peach orchard
planted in dibble holes, will now
average twelve to fifteen feet in height
and bore an enormous crop the past
summer.
1t has been claimed that the short
root pruning, la Stringfellow, might
do for the warm sandy soils and coast
country of the South, might do for
pears and peaches, but was not practi-
cal in colder countries and harder
soils, but the above experiment would
seem to indicate it's practicability gen.
orally.
We would ask Southern Ruralist
readers who have occasion to plant Or
ange or deciduOus trees this fall to
give the Stringfellow method of remov-
ing all but 1 IL inches of the roots,
cutting the slant from the inside to
the outside of the root; or those who
have tried the method in the past to
report the result to the Southern Ru-
ralist If the Stringfellow method is
safe and practicable, vast saving
in digging, packing and boxing nurs-

rage.
The long agony of the drive seemed
lnterminable, and yet at last when the
carriage stopped she sat quite still for
moment, unable to nerve herself for
the next move. Then the door was OPP
ened, and, as in dream, she passed
up the steps, walking firmly, her face
white and her eyes set and hard. Her
apparent heartlessness was silently
noted at the time and afterward free

hail. .
Had they brought him-it-hOme?

She was in the hall now and some one

She was not surprised to see himthere.
In her dreamlike state nothing seemed

she was annoyed by his hushed tone.
Her own voice was unnaturally shrill
and strained, and the doctor raised his
hand in protest.
What heartless creatures these pref

unconscious echo of the servants Opin-

One hand lay outside of the coverlet.
Her own stole out slowly, hungrily, to-

her. She bowed her head over the
bandaged hand and knelt on motion

forgetting his scathing condemnation
of a moment before, thought with a
swift contempt Of certain reports con-
