BROUGHT HOME
AFTER LONG SLEEP
w. F.. Little, Who Fell i'm Battle
Forty Years Ago, Buried
at Presumption.

AS result of secret mission to
Arkansas last week by Mrs. Lucinda
Armstrong of Presumption, and DR.. A.
unique and interesting funeral service
was held at the little home near
Presumption Sunday morning
The service was over the remains
of w. +. Little. who marched away
from the home at Presumption just 40
years ago Sunday to the day, and
who fell in the first engagement in
which his company participated after
he joined the army. Private Little
received his death wound at the bat
tie of Prairie Grove in Arkansas.
December z, 1862, and died three days
later. He was buried by his COM
rades and description of his burial
place written home to his relatives
That letter was all the searchers
had to go ON, when il was decided a
few weeks ago by Private Little's sis
ter, Mrs. Armstrong, to hunt up the
grave and remove the body to the
family cemetery at Presumption.
The mission was kept secret until
the news "successful' was flashed
over the wire to Presumption friends.
The searcherS had found that the
body had been removed from the or
iginal resting place and buried in the
National cemetery at Fayetteville,
Ark.
The funeral services were held at
the home where Mr.. Little was born
and raised and were very largely at
tended. The pallbearers were chosen
from among his comrades and boy
hood friends. several of them men,
bers of Company c, 37th Illinois in
fantry, which was Mr.. Little's com
pany. Two of them were men who
had dug the grave and assisted at the
| burial after the battle at Prairie
Grove. They are old men now, but
they were boys then.

In Coal it's quality that makes
heat, it's quality that retains it, it
is quality that makes possible
consumption of 90 per cent of
the combustible part of it, leav-

quality that lessons your fuel

that every stitch of scenery used in
its presentation is carried, the cos
tuning correct, and the company a
very caable one, and all tend to make
it one of the most satisfactory pro-

POOR ENGLISH NOBLEMEN.
Many OF the Titled Gentry wAo are
Unsb1s 60 AttsAd the CoP0-
nation Of the Mag.

It must be borne In mind that the
peerage of England are not, Oumula-
lively speaking, a wealthy body. A
goodly throng of them are extremely
poor men. All over Great Britain and
Ireland are scattered earls, viscounts,
bOronA, who will feel themselves sum
moned" TO the coronation, who pride
themselves on dating back" either to
William the Conqueror or the still
more ancient Saxon kings, and yet
whose incomes are in some cases even
less than $1,000 or $4,000 year. This
is the pathetic side Of the grand ma
tional demonstration, says Woman'S
Home Companion. We Americans think
Of it as a gathering of commingled
birth and wealth. Butin reality il will
be nothing of the sort. 1t will be
pomp and splendor masking in the
main much ardent and pitiful struggle.
Heart-burnings innumerable will
smolder unseen during the enactment
Of this demonstration. The smart set
and the landed nOblemen who choose
rarely to come up to town, yet who
own lordly halls in the country, with
troops of servants and well-filled
stables-these will treat the whole gilt
tering manifestation with an easy at
titude of Difference. But these will
be mere comparative handful, and
hosts of their equal in birth" and
rank will suffer torments of the most
pinching economy to achieve what they
carelessly and iauntily carry of.

Professor AldrIeh of Moseow Here.

Professor ]. M. Aldrich, entomolo.
gist Of the experiment station at the
state university at Moscow, Idaho,
spent last Saturday and Sunday visit
ing Hon. II. l.. Smith, president Of the
state board of horticulture, and investi-
eating the methods of the Hood River
fruitgrowers in fighting the Goblin
moth.
"The methods of the Hood River
fruitgrowers in dealing with the Goblin
moth are very effective, said Professor
Aldrich. 'They are probably more ef-
fective than the work done at any
other place, especially In localities with
the same climate. In our country the
orchards in the higher attitudes enjoy
a greater immunity from the ravages OF
the Goblin moth than the communities
that are less favorably elevated. The
principal orchards of Hood River are
at comparatively low elevation, hence
the small percentage of wormy apples
gathered here must be due to the excel
lent methods of spraying employed by
the orchardists.
In Southern Idaho, near Boise, the
United States department of agricul-
ture has had man experimenting on
the Goblin moth for the last three
years. Spraying has been carried on
very effectively by the use of q gasoline
engine, and the experimenter reports
that this year his orchard will have but
one per cent of wormy apples"
Professor Aldrich was driven around
the valley by Mr.. Smith. He expressed
himself as much delighted with the
valley, and thinks Hood River one of
the best little fruit communities In the
Northwest. He left Monday morning
by boat for Portland and willamette
valley points and will visit the Oregon
experiment station at Corvallis, where
he will confer with Professor A. b.
Cordley regarding some chronological
experiments. Professor Aldrich also
occupies the chair of Biology at the
University of Idaho. He will return
to Hood River next week to visit Cloud
Cap Inn and gather some insect speci-
mems
