Bowser and the cook came down stat 8

she sprang for Mr.. Bowser. The at

under it and pulled the photograph
after him. and for minute there was
a mix up to beat the band. Then he
rose to his feet and looked for the cat.
She had disappeared. He lifted up the
photograph and banged it and slam
med it until only splinters remained.
Then he turned to Mrs. Bowser and

arrival home the other evening there
came delivery wagon with phono-

observe that she had been expecting
him to develop a new fad for a week
past he FASTENED to explain:
Its a photograph | bought second

given to me. There can be no fad
about monograph. You just wait till

Mrs. Bowser knew all about phone
graphs, Of course, and she did not OBJ
Ject to 1t as photograph. If Mr.. Bow
ser could raise row over harp, fid-
die, fire escape, recipe for root beer
and lost dog, she felt that a phono-
graph might bring trouble. Little more
was said until after dinner. Then the
instrument was placed in the sitting

The Utility of Dog Skins.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says
that in Nebraska nowadays the skins
OF superfuous dogs are tanned and
made into gloves--a plan which affords
a valuable suggestion, inasmuch as
every large community kills OFF great
numbers of ours annually, the hides
OF which might just as well be utilized
as wanted. Dog skin. of course. is one
OF the best materials for gloves. and
for this purpose we import hundreds

las. During the summer of 1898, with
a desire to see more of the world, he
started out to peddle clocks in western
Illinois. One evening Palmer and a
friend stopped at little inn at Car
thage and were awakened at night with
the explanation that they would have
to take two men into their beds.
One of the newcomers asked the poll
tics of Palmer and his companion.
"NIy friend is Whig," said Palmer,

"Well, you take the Whig," said the
stranger to his companion, "and I'll
turn in with the Democrat"
in the morning Palmer learned that

ORCHARD AND GARDEN,

The richest soil does not produce the
finest or best grapes.
Grating wax makes a good covering
for wounds made in pruning.
There is no good reason for allowing
cherry trees to grow very tall.
a succulent tree shoot will lose nine
tenths of its weight by drying.
Small fruit culture will always be
most successful on the intensive plan.
Producing fruit tends to exhaust a
tree; hence the Importance of feeding
young bearing trees by manuring.
Flowing the garden late in the fall
and exposing it more thoroughly to
freezing will kill many insect pests.
A complete change of soil in flower
pots is sometimes necessary and will
enable plant to secure more food and
grow better.
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface. Therefore the food for
them should not be placed at too great
depth below it.
The sprouts which often start up
around the base of fruit trees, even If
they do no harm, are at least unslghtly.
They should be kept down.-St. Louis
