That 5000 Exemption.

The recent published opinion of
the state attorney-genera that the
personal property exemption law
passed at the recent session at
Olympia, will not take effect until
ninety days after its approval, says
the Spokesman Review, has result
ed In some confusion of the public
mind. Many have thought that
by the failure of this law to apply
to the present assessment, there
will be no personal property ex-
emption whatever.
Such is not the case. Wearing
apparel, bedding and household
furniture will be exempted up to
$500, but no other personal prop
erty.
We are working under the old
law, under which we made the as
sessment of last year. The same
exemptions will be allowed this
year that were allowed last.
The law in question is the gem
eral revenue law of 1899. 4Subdi-
vision Z of session of this law
provides the following exemptions:
The personal property of each
head of family liable to assess
ment and taxation under the pro-
visions of this act, of which such
individual is the actual and bona
/ fide owner, as follows, o-wit: All
necessary wearing apparel for him
self and family; one bed and bed
ding for himself, and one addition
al bed and bedding for each addi-
tional member of his family; all
necessary household and kitchen
furniture, including stoves, cooking
utensils, and all necessary tools of
trade, not to exceed 5000 in value.
The law passed at the recent SEES
sion differs from the old law in al
lowing 5000 exemption on any class
of personal property. To some
families the distinction is without
difference, since they own bed
ding, wearing apparel and house
hold furniture valued at more than
1900, and therefore are not allowed
the full exemption. But under the
present law families having lees
than $500 worth of exempted per-
sonal property must pay taxes on
all other personal property. A
poor man, for example, having but
800 worth of wearing apparel bed.
ding and household furniture, is
taxed on his horse, COW, wagon,
watch. etc.

OUR FRUIT IN DEMAND.


"The prospect for an unprecedented
export of American dried prunes. april
cots. peaches and pears, as well as
evaporated apples and raspberries to
Germany the autumn and winter of
'O1 is exceedingly bright, provided
the crop in the United States is sutfi-
ciently plentiful to furnish large sup
ply at reasonable prices" Thus writes
Consul General Frank H. Mason at
Berlin. This seems to be the general
opinion of those who are in "A position
to study the tendencies. The Paris ex-
position has done much to open the
eyes of Europeans to the fact that
America is a great fruit producing
country and n great increase in the de-
mand for our fruits is confidently ex-
pected. Many American merchants,
combining business with pleasure,
have visited the Paris exposition and
taken the opportunity thus offered to
see personally many of the dealers in
the principal German cities and offer
their products to them.
In Berlin, a wholesale dealer in
fruits has informed the consulate that
his customers, largely grocers and
provision dealers in other cities and
towns, have been giving larger orders
than ever before for American fruits.
The excellent flavor of the American
products, both fresh and dried. to-
gether with the reasonable prices.
makes whatever competition there is
largely in our favor.
California fruits are making their way
into Siberia. Canned goods are in great
favor. But excessive freight rates. de-
lays in forwarding and bad packing
are great hindranccs to the develop
ment of trade in that country. Prop
erly grading and packing fruit Is one
of the mos, important questions con-
nected with the foreign fruit trade.
Information from commercial agents
indicates that the trade is very seri-
ously injured by improper packing.
This Is equally true of fruit for do
nestle markets. and accounts for
many Of the disappointments in fruit
growing. The growers do not intend
to be dishonest in their grading, but
their standards are not high when
compared with the standards required
by q critical market. Oftentimes when
that market is glutted, the shippers
ideal is far below that of the market.
The experience of the past ought to be
guide for the future. The only way
the demand for American fruits can
be upheld and increased in foreigi
markets is for the packers and ship
pers to place before those markets
first-class product. so picked that
will reach the consumer in first-class
condition.-Prof. II. p. Gould. Mary

as permanency now for over five
years." writes John Gould, of Ohio,
to Rural New Yorker.
ITO my mind one of the greatest
benefits of the centralized schools is
in abolishing the ciass-ship incident to
the division of rural schools. Each
neighborhood thus becomes q class,
with but little interest in the COM
munity at large, and the matters of
acquaintance of children in different
parts Of town are slight. Now all
community, and merit wins. One
scholar is as good as another, and
talent and department are the only
avenues to merit.
1T is not here contended that the
centralized school is yet perfect. 1t
is in a state of evolution, but each
step seems the better move toward
solving the question of better ed
ucation for the rural boy and girl.
In average attendance the new plan
far exceeds the old. In some towns
the attendance is 25 per cent. better
on the average. II is fully that in
one township. Then it promises to
add at least two years more school
Ing to the school life of the pupil.
To be taught along ever unfolding
and new lines in study inspires,
where the ever going back to re-
traverse old study byways causes
listless and lifeless ways, even to de-
sertion of school life.
"The cost is less in most instances.
The transportation of school dis
trict to a central point is less than
the cost of its separate maintenance.
In some towns the centralized plan
saves hundreds of dollars. In some
the cost is about the same. In a
few, where causes have been beyond
the boards control, the cost is more,
but in all cases the instruction vast
ly compensates for slightly increased
cost"

PROTECTED FROM REPROOF.
ChivalrOus Act Of Male Medical
student Toward n Feminine
Classmate.

Years ago. when the medical pro.
fession was not made easy for .wom-
en-, as IL is now. one woman was
studying the eye, in Vienna, says an
exchange. The men who were her as
sociates were very unfriendly, both
professors and students. They lost
no opportunity of criticising her, and
she was conscious that any mistake
she might make, either in a profess
sional or in social way, would be
laid up against her.
One morning events were all un-
favorable, and she was late in class.
Knowing how fatal such lapse
would be, she tore along the streets,
and arrived, hot and painting, just as
a. delicate demonstration was about
to begin. The students were stand
ing in semicircle about the profess
sor, and she slipped in among them,
hoping not to be noticed. But mis-
step brought her plunging forward,
and her watch leaped from her belt
and fell, with clatter, at the pro.
fessor's feet. He glared; but now
came an act of chivalry.
Another man, who had always
shown the greatest enmity to wom-
en- students, stepped forward, coolly
picked up the watch as II it were his
own, put it in his pocket, and thus
drew upon himself the fire of disap.
proval. After the lecture was over
he restored it to it's owner with a
gentle courtesy quite removed from
his professional rudeness.

bark, which sometimes has flattened

and the presence of sawdust-like cast

are seen, the insects should be dug out

APPLE TREE BORERS.
Best Time to Combat These Pests,
Says Prof. w. g. johnson, Is
in the Fall.

Apple growers through the country
lose annually many trees from the
ravages of the apple tree borer. There
are two species, one of which is known
as the fat-headed borer and the other
the round-headed borer. Both are
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion. By taking proper precaution
many apple trees could be saved if
watched carefully.
All trees should be closely exam
ined early in the fall, when the young
larvae or worms, if present. may be
detected by the discoloration of the

cations of wife and took possession
of him.
He was sick and tired. He was
"gone." The actors all know what
that means. He had lived too fast,
yielding too readily to the seductions
of flattery and ease. And when the
doctors came out, and Kate met them
with that imperial demand q wife
may make, they told her:
"He will die"
She knew it would take all the
money she had scraped together in
these years of teaching. in these
years Of writing, in these heroic years
of fight with fate. But she met IL
without q murmur. She would at
tend him to the end, and she would
bury him as the husband of an honest
woman should be buried.
And there was wonderful yelling
up of all the old love as she bent
above his pillow--the old thrill as she
touched him, the old wave of emotion
at his remembered caresses.
And two hours later he reused and
called for the manager. He was quite
calm now-and very white.
"You have my papers," he said.
"My will and all the rest. This is my
wife. She gets everything"
They were serious. He gasped, laid
back and whispered: "She gets ev-
erything." Then he wandered, and
seemed counting again the Lady
Palline,' for he told anew Of the
glories of Como. And in the splen.
dor of It he was still.
They buried him, as she had
planned. They took all their orders
from her. But when she went to pay
the manager protested.
"He left money. will turn IL
over to you"
HE left money!">she exclaimed. II
had never occurred to her.
"Certainly-thousan
And he had. There were the shares
Of stock in good companies. There
were the deeds to houses. There were
the treasures in safety vaults, and the
cash in the managers hands.
Prodigal, profigate, bad-if you
will--he had saved fortune.
And little Kate Raymond, dropping
at last her maiden name, came from
the cemetery rich woman.
And her heart was breaking, for
the man who had won her fancy IL
years ago had won her woman's love
anew. And she bowed her head in an
guish that she had lost him.

Natural Affection Not Universal.

Natural affection is by no means the
possession of everybody. Not every
mother loves her child, and not every
child loves its mother. Sin is in the
world, and the effects of sin are to be
seen on every side. Everybody ought
to have natural effection. Every moth
er ought to love her child, and every
child ought to love its mother. On this
account, therefore, every child of God,
and every man of God, ought to strive
to cultivate and develop natural af-
fection, and more than natural af-
fection, in the young and the old. 1t
will never do for us to act on the false
supposition that natural affection is
already universal.-S. s. Times.

he exclaimed, as he stumbled toward
her. Come out and walk with me.
I'm brute, and don't deserve IL,
but I'm tired. Be good to me-"
All! it was the same old challenge,
the same old way to her heart. She
held him at arms length for Q mo-
ment. Then she surrendered. She
tried to ask him = sharply = who
shared his home. But she could not.
The charm of the man she had loved
was about her. And she was steady
ing his steps before they had walked
q block.
Come into Michigan avenue" he
said. "It's the nearest quiet we can
get afoot By Jove, I'm glad to And
YOU"
"You haven't troubled yourself to
hunt much," she said, but was sorry
before the words were uttered.
He didn't defend, nor even reply.
When he spoke again it was to re-
peat:
"I'm sick. I'm glad found YOU"
In front of the Art institute he
staggered, and she half carried his
awful weight to the stone steps, so
he could sit down. He was half uu-
conscious, but he reused as the cab
man came to help him.
Take me to the Lexington" he
said.
1t would consume q half year Of
her savings. She knew that. But
she could not leave him.
And he reused again at the hotel.
