LOCKED IN THE WRONG ROOM

Some one tells the following good
one: A man attended grand ball
with bis wife and had great time.
While dancing q quadrille he noticed
his pants were ripping and hurriedly
retired to dressing room with his
wife, who procured q needle and
thread and began sewing up the rip.
While the man was standing there
without any pants on he heard the
rustic Of skirts, and II appeared to
him that he had taken refuge In the
ladies dressing room. He appealed to
hts wife and she shoyed him TO door
which opened, a. she thought into a
closet. Opening the door quickly she
showed him through and locked 1t.
Then the man began pounding the
doof. "Mary," be screamed, Nm 10

opening into closet opened ino the

The PECAN TREE "GRAFTERs." !"
NOTE OF WARNING SOUNDED BY
MR.. SAM JAMES. 5sl

The letter following Is from Mr..
Sam II. James, a we'll known planter
and tree grower In Madison parish.
The Vicksburg Herald knows Mr..
James well enough to say that IL be.
lieves all he says concerning pecan
trees.
The letter follows:
For the last twelve years l have
been writing articles advocating the
planting Of pecan groves. In my own
youth / planted very largely Of pecan
trees, and am beginning to reap the
rewards. These articles have been
misQuoted and misstated so largely
by tree peddlers and men selling trees
that I deem IL my duty to enter Y
warning to the public at large. The
country is simply 0yerrun with these
sharks, making every possible false
statement In regard to pecans, In
order to sell trees, and referring to
Elc and my grove rs an example.
They have sold large numbers of COM
mon wild trees, some claiming them
TO be grafted, aud others claiming
them to be grown from the largest,
pecans In the world. In the last week
one ~ these men has been at Mound
securing the woods oyer, and filling
his orders with common trees from
the swamps. The sap has risen In all
trees, and all hnnest men have stop.
ped filling orders for the last month.
Any pecan tree reset in this climate
in that time will die.
These men have made the most pre-.
pOsterous claims in order to sell pecan
trees. They claim that by the use
Ofa certain fertilizer tree comes
into bearing at isur yeaes old and
bears many barrels at eight years.
have brought more trees from seed
to the bearing aye than any man In
America; have used every known
fertilizer, and now l give the facts as
they really are. A pecan tree comes
into bearing at eight or nine years OF
aye. 1t never becomes a profitable
investment under thirteen years old.
When ] wrote all my articles advo.
eating the planting OF pecans in.
tended to do the public u service, and
did not intend to have the way paved
for these bogus tree agents To commit
such fraud. Over a hundred thousand
common wild pecan trees have been
planted In the last three years, all
sold by travelling agents under the
most preposterous claims. Can you
imagine the feelings Of the owners Of
these trees after giving them careful
attention for ten years when they
find out what they really are? Per.
suns wishing TO plant pecan groves
should write to the directors OF the
various experimental stations and
find ont whO the honest dealers In
pecan trees are. The commissioners
OF agriculture should also be consult.
ed. Honest men should use every
cndeavOr to put stop to this whole.
sale robbery. l ask all papers inter.
estcd in the welfare OF farmers to
copy this article. l ask the directors
OF all experimental stations to join
with US in this good work.

COST OF FUCKERS CURIOSITY
for MOnkeying with a Green
Goods Firm.

]. w. Tucker. a farmer Of Seward county,
got into trouble from the same cause
which the proverb reports killed a cat,
and, according to his story in the federal
court, it was mere curiosity which lead
him to send an order for counterfeit money
to an eastern green goods hrm. The
desire to satisfy his curiosity cost him
a fine Of $50 and a thirty days term in Jail.
Judge Munger. in pronouncing sentence,
stated that he wished to give him the
benefit Of the doubt, but in view Of the
fact that Tucker confessed to having writ
ten a letter calling for a quantity OF
counterfeit money, the weight Of evidence
showed him guilty of using the mails with
an intent to defraud. As a consequence
of the farmers having a family and this
being his first offence, no heavier sentence
was imposed.
