The Story of Lost Pocketbook-How
a Colored Man Found 1t and "Sported"
on the Money three years ago Miss
Ella Bowen, of Towson, who is teacher in
the public schools of this county, received her
quarters salary in Baltimore and came home
she missed her pocketbook, that contained S56,
and supposing she had dropped it in the car,
made every effort to recover it, but without
success and she finally gave it up as gone "for
good"
During the last Christmas holidays an aged
colored man from Charleston, w. Va, came
to Towson to visit the family of the late Rev.
John W. Jones, he having been in their en-
ploy many years ago as servant. While
there he told story that solved the mystery
of the pocketbOok that had been lost in Tow
son about two years before.
He said that one day young colored man,
whose home was in Charleston, but who had
been away for some time, suddenly made his
appearance in that town and cut wide swath
by spending money very freely among his
colored friends. Finally the old man, who
knew the fellow well, insisted on knowing
where all the money came from that he was
"blowing i'm SO lavishly. The sport" in a
confidential way, let the cat out of the bag
He said he had been working on a railroad in
Towson, Md, and that late one afternoon he
saw young lady step off street car and just
as she did so she dropped her pocketbook in
the street. He waited until she had gotten
some distance away and then went and picked
it ND and slipped it into his pocket. When he
had chance to examine it and saw how much
il contained he went to the Office of the rail
road company, drew the So that was coming
to him and at once started for his home in
Charleston. And that is how the story of the
lost pocketbook got out. OF course Miss
Bowen never recovered a dollar of her lost
money.

SPRAYING Fruit Trees.

Apples at So so to S. barrel last fall
and twice that this spring are apt to
make folks interested in fruit trees.
Many farmers who have never paid
enough attention to their trees to know
whether they were bearing apples or
bananas, are now looking up on such
matters as grating, pruning and spray
ing.
The experienced fruit growers of course
are all looking out for the spraying at
this season OF the year. The Vermont
Experiment station says that the mail is
flooded with inquiries on this subject,
and in response to the general interest,
they have sent us the following intorma-
ton. Questions on other points may be
addressed by letter or postal card to Ex-
pertinent Station, Burlington.
The first requisite is a good spray
pump with the necessary rigging. The
outfit can be bought of the manufacture
ers or of the implement dealers, and will
cost anywhere from $40 to 5000. A
frst.class outfit costs SIS to S25.
lust at this time OF year the spraying
needed by fruit trees is chiefly for the
prevention of fungus diseases. For this
purpose a plain solution oil copper sui
phate, one pound in 10 to 20 gallons of
water may be used. Bordeaux mixture
is equally as good, but it is more bother
to make. The first spraying should be
given at once, before the blossoms open.
A little later, Just after the blossoms
fall, another spraying should be given.
This should be bordeaux mixture in every
case. Bordeaux mixture may be made of
varying proportions and strengths. The
standard mixture consists OF l 1SpOundS
copper sulphate, pound stone lime, 10
gallons water (6 pounds sulphate, 4
pounds lime, / barrel water.) Dissolve
the suIphate and slack the lime in sepa-
rate vessels, dilute each with about halt
of the total water to be used and then
pour the sulphate solution into the lime
water while stirring vigorously. Con
tinue the stirring for a minute to insure
perfect mixture. 1t deterates on stand
iug and should be used soon after made.
Keep tie mixture clean to avoid clog
ging Of pump and nozz!es Strain the
solutions and have Strainer on suction
tube of pump. A quick, convenient way
to dissolve copper sulphate is to suspend
it in a cheesecloth or similar bag just
below the surface of the water.
A third spraying two weeks later, with
bordeaux mixture. will be a paying IN
vestmtnt. Even a fourth and fifth spray
ing, at intervals of two weeks, will some
times pay handsome dividends.
In all sprayings, except the first, some
paris green should be used. Add one
pound paris green to 200 gallons OF
water, or four ounces to the barrel. II
there is danger of bud moth the paris
green might better be used in the first
spraying also.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
There is difference between vain rope
titions and importantly. Repetition is
not always vain; when it is the result of
our earnestness of desire, then God will
hear us for our very importantly.
God does not give just what we ask ;
he knows our needs better than we know
them ourselves, and our asking must
always be in humble reliance upon his
better wisdom: Not as | will, but as
thou wilt"
Gods power alone can enable us to
overcome tempt ations; in ourselves we
are utterly h lpless,-we may have his
strength for The asking.
SELECTIONS,
Profitable prayer has its foundation in
Bible kuowl, dye. Its wa Is are love for
Gods service. Its doorway is thanks
giving Its windows are petitions. Its
roof is alteration. There are as many
rooms as there are experiences and needs
in life. Every room is furnished in a df.
terent way. If we are hungry, it is a din
ing room; if in doubt, library if weary,
a bedroom; if lonely, parlor. For ev-
cry Christian, this house is the home Of
the soul
When thou prayest, rather let thy
heart he without words than thy words
without heart, and remember emphati
cally, either prayer will make thee cease
from sin, or sin wi rtainy entice thee
from prayer.
l know Of no nob'er picture of prayer
than Philip Brooks; Prayer is not con
quering Gods reluc arce, but taking hold
upon Gods Willingness.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
IT'S the hallowed hour of prayer
Lord. at thy mercy seat.
Hear u.s. o Savior, while we pray.
Oh, I love to talk with Jesus.
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer.
l bring to thee, o Master
