Entertaining SQuirrcls.

Alive in his native woods the squirrel
is an amusing little fellow, and he will
entertain you by the Lour if you will
let him.
You probably become first aware of
his presence by his dropping things on
your head. Then he plays hide and
seek with you as he Zigzags up a tree.
While he pauses for thought or pos
sibly to wash his face, another squirrel
comes scudding along the branches of
q neighboring tree. and Away they go.

down the trunk and making the bark

and falls headlong 20 or 80 feet to the

makes him bounce. You think every
grain of sense must be knocked out Of
the small body, but he only blinkS a
bit. and. after a moment spent perhaps
in letting til" stars set that must have
suddenly risen before his eyes. he
streaks it up the nearest tree after the
other fellow. Long after they have
disappeared from sight you hear them
chattering together up among the
leaves like two watchmens rattles.-

the question of rational dress the Chi

American clothes are not made for the

nestle gymnastics, but the Chinaman
in his loose. easy fitting clothes, is as

Owing to the mildness Of the climate
In Portugal heating stoves are rarely
used in that country.
Heating and cooking stoves are both
used by the upper classes In Greece,
but the lower classes still live without
Very few heating and eookins stoses
are used in Paraguay. All the houses
have brick stoves built In them. SO that
iron stoves have little or no sale.
Stoves made Of thing are in general
use in Austria. They are said to be su-
perior to iron stoves on account Of the
great economy Of fuel possible by their
use.
There Is In the Mediterranean coun-
tries widespread prejudice against all
artificial heat, and consequently not
more than one house in six Is ever heat
ed during the winter time.
Iron cooking stoves are almost an
unknown luxury among the people Of
South America and the West Indies.
They still cook in open fireplaces and
by other primitive methods.
The cooking stove. as 1t is known in
the United States, does very little serv'

cooking is done In a large open FIRE

The Attack on the President.

The attempt on the life of President
Mckinley Friday has revealed many
things to an observer, One of these
things is the intense patriotism of near
ly all our people. Such calamity as
this is not needed for that purpose,
owever, but it does one good to wit
ness the action of our people on such
an occasion. Here and there is stray
man out of harmony with his country,
man who has failed TO get the inspira-
ton Of this civilization and of this age
who says ''the President got what he
deserved. There was one such man
in this county that we have heard of,
but only one. Such men are stunned
as traitors. All our people, those of
German or Danish descent as well as
native Americans vie with each other
in expressions of regret at the terrible
event. These expressions also come
alike from democrats aud republicans.
At such time Mckinley is our presi-
dent.
This attack has demonstrated anew
the very high regard in which William
Mckinley is held as man. 1t is not
only the head of our government that
was attacked but it was the man Nc
Kinley whose home life has been ideal
and whose public life has been free
from all faint or stain.
This event has also demonstrated
anew the odium in which anarchists
are held. The country is surely now
ripe for some kind of action that will
control these dangerous, disloyal and
detestable people. Anarchists desire
to destroy in day what the race has
been centuries in building up, govern
ment. Their leaders are enemies to
our nation and their teachings have
been the direct cause of not only this
attempt on the presidents life but of
many assassinations. Emma Goldman
and the whole vile brood ought to be
doing time in penitentiaries during
their natural lives. They have failed
to appreciate the liberty of this
country. They have had it only to
abuse it, and they should no longer
have it.

Fruit In Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City, o. 7.
September |, 1901.

September |, 1901.
E. N. Taggart,
Audubon, Iowa.
Sir AS | promised to write you
when I came down here, will try to do
SO today. We are enjoying good health
and find plenty to do. am nearly
through blowing for wheat Wheat
was good crop but oats were almost a
failure.
As you are interested in fruit and
fruit growing will confine my letter
to what have seen of Oklahoma's
fruit. In the first place it has been too
dry to be good fruit year, never-the-
less there has been lots of fine fruit
here this season, such as strawberries,
cherries, blackberries, dewberries,
plums, apricots, peaches, grapes and
apples. To give you an idea of the
extent OF the same will tell you what
l know of Stevenson's fruit farm which
is three-fourths of mile north of us.
He had one and one-half acres of straw
berries (Crescents Seeding, Lady
Thompson, Grander's and some other
varieties.) Well, they commenced to
ripen about May and their last pick
ing was June T. Well, he took from
3S to 60 crates to town every day for
three weeks. Now you know what that
means in the way of work and money.
Said berries sold from 800 down to
$3.50 per crate. He hired his pickers
for % cents crate. A good picker
could pick four crates day.
This same man has blackberries.
cherries, plums, peaches and the finest
eight yeas old apple orchard l ever
saw. He thinks he will have about
800 bushels of apples this year.
Now, the black berry crop was d
partial failure this year on account of
dry weather but Laurence, a fruit
farmer who lives two and one-half
hihco thiS Siuc VI ohlhHOluh Sity, nuS
twelve acre patch of black berries
from which he sold $4,000 worth of
berries this season. He has ten acres of
grapes from which he has picked tons
of grapes which he sells at two and one
half cents pounds. don't see why
the raisin grape is not grown here as
ayery -athar- rariaty- -Ieyer heard
1 of is grow to perfection here.
- Now, this is only two fruit men that
/ have told You about but l could
name dozen others. Nearly every
farm in our vicinity has we'll Guilt
waited orchard" and fruit patch. !"
The southern farmer puts as much
care and work ON his orchard and
small fruit as twelve Audubon county
orchards get in one season. The care
and mild winters are what make the
fruit here. The borers work some on
the trees here, but have never seen a
tree yet that was ''sun scalded.'
Peaches grow here like willows in lows
and there are peaches by the loads
here from July till October and they
are so common that l will not write
any thing about them except that my
Duroc Jerseys are getting fat on q die
Of peaches. Well, no more. Answer
