The Apricot Season.

The apricot season in southern Cali
fornia furnishes most picturesque
scenes, especially in the family orchards
of the small growers. Many OF these be-
long to frugal Europeans, who are scat
tered thruout the fruit region. The tiny
houses are usually surrounded by few
big trees and the whole family aids in
the harvest. Here and there the peas
ant woman who has worked among the
groves Of old Italy may be seen with a
basket poised on her head filed to the
brim with golden fruit which she is TAX
ing to the children. They will pit it and
spread the sections in the sun to dry.
Another characteristic side of this work
is seen in the small private canneries
among the country people. These little
institutions are busy places that fill or
ders by the car load, but most Of them
have their start with some housewife
and her kitchen stove. These are the
places that make a speciality OF "home-
made goods, and turn out preserves
whose merits are known in far-distant
sections of the country. They sell only
to private families, never to the trade,
and each year regular patrons from far
and near order their winter supply
put up.
To stray abroad in the early morning
during the apricot season is to find the
shady highways and byways alive with
men, women and children, on wheels. on
horseback, in carts. buggles and farm
wagons. all hurrying to be swallowed up
in the green depths Of groves. They are
of no distinct class. They are the daugh-
fArssof rich ranchers, the country SON

TWO OR MORE POLITICAL PARTIES.

Professor Goodwin Smith, perhaps one
of the greatest living authorities on
British and American constitutional his
tory, contributes an article in the North
American Review. under the title of
The Political Situation in England" in
Which he analyses very carefully the
question as to whether representative
government, controlled by party of
ms" guided by a party of "ins" and
checked by party of "outs'-represen
tative government consisting OF gov
eminent and oppostion"-is likely to
endure much longer. The present gen
GRAFTON has become so accustomed to the
existence of two parties that it does not
appreciate the fact that such form of
government exists, merely because the
political exigencies of the hour demand
it, and that it will only obtain so long as
those exigencies exist 1t is very vital
matter, and that such government is
disappearing is witnessed by the fact
that French, Italian, Spanish and even
German legislative chambers consist
now of from ten to forty parties, with
the consequent result that the conduct
of ordinary business is immeasura bly,
retarded and measures, in order to be-
come finally passed have to be so
changed in order to secure majority.
that they are apt to be Impossible jun
bles withot efficacy. Following his line
of argument, Professor Smith says:
Those who fancy that the party sys-
tenn of government is or ought to be uni
yersal, resemble the British footman
who said that everybody knew that blue
was absurd for uniform except in the
artillery and the horse guards blue. The
party system of government prevailed
no doubt in the days of the Guelphs
and Ghlbellines, when the political DOM
ination OF the Guelph party was consti-
tutionally recognized at Florence 1t
may: be said to have prevailed in Hol-
land in the seventeenth century. But in
recent times 1t islittle more than an ac-
cident Of British and American history.
In England 1t had it's origin, its life, and
something like a rational Justification

FUTURE OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

1t is more than probable that the new
carriage propelled by steam or gas will
become of great commercial Importance
hereafter. People who dislike the care
or cost of horses are looking forward
hopefully to that era. In an article on
Automobile Making in America by j.
A. Kingman, in the Review of Reviews
for September, says:
The bicycle was at one time novelty
and luxury, but the high price was not
due to the fact that the manufacturers
desired to make excessive profits. Spe-
cial machinery had to be purchased in.
order to make the machines at all: and
the starting of an entirely new industry
would have been impossible unless such
prices We're charged. 1t seems evident
that the present prices of the automobile
prices of the early bicycles. 1t is always
possible to make a cheap automobile.
but this intention is not held by any
reputable manufacturer of automobiles
today. Cheap automobiles will not last,
even in the hands of person who
knows how to give them proper atten-
stand, not only the wear and tear caused
by the rough roads, but the abuse which
it is almost sure to receive when it gets
into hands which will not operate it
carefully or give it the necessary atten-
ton.
1t is hardly necessary to predict the.
future of the automobile and the ques-
ton as to whether it will supersede
h,
The automobile is not fad or play
thing. altho probably large percentage
of the present owners have merely taken
it up on account of it's novelty. There
is no doubt that the bicycle was largely
used at one time as a fad, but it has
now come to be the boon of millions of
workingmen. 1t appears that the de-
mand for bicycles is as strong as ever,
only different class of people are en-
ploying them.
As time goes on automobiles of all
| types will undoubtedly show material
improvement, altho radical changes are
hardly to be expected. 1t must be re-
membered in this connection that altho
the automobile is novel; it merely con-
/ sists of the application of well-known
and tried devices to road carriage, the
combination forming, indeed, strict
| innovation. The first few years of the
automobile industry in this country
! have shown a remarkable demand for
motor vehicles. So far, the greater part
of the machines have been for pleasure
purposes. This demand is not likely to
/ decrease. for with the Improvement of
| the roads automobile touring will be-
come even more popular than it has
been.
AS to the commercial Importance Of
the automobile, it can be said that it is
already a boon to physicians and ne
cessty to many business houses. AS a
method of transporting passengers or
/ freight, it has unlimited possibilities.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON ROOSEVELT.

The result of Vice President Roose-
velt's visit to Springfield Friday is re-
ported to have been that he captured
the affections of Illinois republicans to
an extent that while no word was
spoken TO indicate the possibility of his
idea was in the air and met with warm
approval. There is no Disgusting the
fact that Col Roosevelt is destined to
he a formidable candidate before the
next republican national convention.
Attic an eastern aristocrat and New
Yorker Col. Roosevelt is a man whom
all westerners admire fully as much as
they do any of their favorite sons. If
the colonel can hold down the vice presi-
dency and continue to make speeches for
four years without committing any seri-
Gus blunders he will go into the next ma
tional convention with a large eastern
following and such warm friendship and
admiration from all western states that
he will be simply irresistible.
AT Springfield the colonel said, I'VE
need reformers. but they must be men
of sanity and common sense" He was
trying to and did express the sentiment
of republicanism in the United States,
but in SO doing he simply spread open
to the public page of the Roosevelt
character. A man of original ideas, a
man of high ideals, reformer, yet he
of sufficient common sense to meet prac-
tical conditions face to face and accom-
plish something. He was elected gov
ernor of New York as a reformer.

to yield when he had to and how to

Governor Roosevelts career was char
acterized by his ability to accomplish
things in the face of seeming impossi-
h:lity. He was reformer with common
sense and when the multitude applaud

the fact that a large proportion of the

those OF the absolutist house of Stuart.
In the United States party had it's
well-knoWn origin in the antagonism
between the tendency to federal central-
ization represented by Hamilton and the
opposite tendency represented by Jeffer-
son. 1t is not recognized in The FEEDER
alist.' nor was it recognized by Wash
1ngton, who regarded it as transient
ailment to be cured by combining the
representatives of the two tendencies in
his government. The system, however,
has since established itself with ven

practically overridden the constitution.

be shared by three or more almost
equally strong organizations, but it will
not come until some of the minor fac
tons of the present acquire more econo-

esAu BUCK AND THE sucksAw.
Hartford Daily Times.l

u
An old farmer of Kansas whose sons
had all grown up and left him hired
young man by the name of Esau Buck
to help him on his farm. On the eve
ming of the first day they hauled up a
small load of poles for wood and un-
loaded them between the garden and the
barnyard.
The next morning the old man said to
the hired man: "Esau, am going to
town today and while I am gone you
may saw up that wood and keep the old
ram out of the garden.
When the old man had gone Esau
went out to saw the wood. but when he
saw the saw he wouldn't saw 1t. When
Esau saw the wood he saw that he
couldn't saw 1t with that saw. Esau
looked around for another saw, but that
was the only saw he saw so he didn't
saw it. When the old man came home
he says to Esau: "Esau, did you saw
the wood?" Esau said: l saw the
wood but wouldn't saw. for when saw.
the saw saw that couldn't saw with
that saw so didn't saw it, The old
man went out to see the saw and when
he saw the saw he saw that Esau
couldn't saw with that saw. When Esau
saw that the old man saw that he
couldn't saw with that saw Esau picked
up the axe and chopped up the wood
and made a seesaw. The next day the
old man went to town and bought new
bucksaw for Esau Buck and when he
came home he hung the bucksaw for
Esau Buck on the sawbuck by the see
saw.
Just at this time Esau Buck saw the
old buck in the garden eating cabbage,
and when driving him from the garden
to the barnyard Esau Buck saw the
bucksaw, and Esau stopped to examine
the new bucksaw Now when the old
buck saw Esau Buck looking at the
new buck saw on the sawbuck by the
seesaw, he made dive for Esau,
missed Esau, hit the seesaw, knocked
the seesaw against Esau buck, who fell
on the bucksaw on the sawbuck by the
seesaw Now, when the old man saw
the old buck dive at Esau Buck and
miss Esau and hit the seesaw and
knock the seesaw against Esau and.
Esau Buck fall on the bucksaw on the
sawbuck by the seesaw, he picked up.
the axe to kill the old buck, but the
buck saw him coming. and doged the
blow and countered on the old mans
stomach, knocked the old man over the
seesaw onto Esau Buck, VINO was get
ting up with the bucksaw Oil the saw
buck by the seesaw. crippled Esau
Buck, broke the bucksaw and the saw
buck and the seesaw.
Now when the old buck saw the COM
pleteness of his victory over the old
man and Esau Buck and the bucksaw
and the sawbuck and the seesaw. he
quietly turned around, went back into
the garden again and ate up what was
left of the old mans cabbages.
