A great many California oranges are
shipped east in what are known as
tramp cars. There is no fruit the
price of which fiuctuates as much as
does that of oranges, and thousands
of carloads of oranges are. therefore,
started east with some uncertain des-
tination. The car may be consigned

there are agents watching in the east

Reporters are often m 1rc active and
more gifted with an instinct for de-
tail than the officers, says Charles E
Grinnell in the Atlantic. Together
they make a formidable combination.
But they are often divided in opinion
and yet oftener in their sympathies.
Reporters, like the average citizen, are
more apt to pity the prisoner, if for
nothing else for the very reason that
the police are down upon him. 1t is
an ambition OF reporters to unearth
more facts than the police. Newspa-
pers print news from a prisoners
friends as readily as news from his
prosecutors. Nevertheless, they spread
abroad the charge against suspected
person more than he or his friends
wish. Since the newspapers begin
long before a trial to work up popu-
lar interest in all the persons con-
cerned, the results cannot be other
than an exaEgeration of the impor-
tance to the public of what stimulates
and gratifes curiosity, whether or not
it affects the question of the prisoners
guilt.

A curious case came up the other day
before the court in Caroline county,
Md, when an ancient resident was
charged with the larceny of nine eggs.
Extra jurors had to be summoned, and
it cost the county $3.50 to try the case.
The accused was 73 years old. His
counsel said he had known the de-
fendant for 40 years, and it was in
credible that he would steal eggs. He
argued that anyhow the state had not
shown that the eggs were sound and
nine rotten eggs would have no value
at all. The jury staid out Is minutes
and returned verdict of not guilty.
