Years ago, before that good fell
low, practical angler and acute
stream observer, Seth Green,
passed away, it was my privilege
to spend many days with him on
the stream, particularly Caledo.
MIA creek, on which the New York
state hatchery then stood and
now stands, says Outing. The
value of an angling commission
with such a man is beyond esti-
mate. A quotation from a letter
he once wrote me will better and
more tersely answer the query /
recently received from a young
angler who wants to know show to
fish for trout" than any words of
mine can possibly do.

"All this talk about pennies re-
minds me of a funny experience l
had about u years ago, when j
was working on the Elizabeth
line" said the trolley conductor,
according to the Newark News.
cone Saturday morning about al
dozen boys, all Of EN- in the neigh
bOrhOOd of ten years of age, got
on my ear in Elizabeth. They
were bound for Newark, and l
found out from their talk that they
had been to a football game be-
tween their school and one in Eliz-
abeth. Their side had won and
the whole bunch was feeling es-
pecially good.
"When / collected their fares
one boy passed out five pennies.

morning, for / got a little huffy,
and let the kid know it. He didn't
say anything, but l noticed him
some time afterward talking to
some of his companions. What he
said or did was evidently a good
joke, for they all began to smoker
as if there was something doing.
Well, sir, you know we take up a

gers near Waverly, and when /
reached that gang of boys to col

out the dingy cOppers. Igrew hot

me his little pile of pennies, and
the whole outfit almost passed
away with glee as they watched
me stack them up and put them
away. l was pretty sure that the
lad who had given me the pennies
in the first place was the one who
put up the job, so I went up to
him.

The Outlook for Apple Growing Ia Miss
Ouri.

Weekly letter from the state Univer-
sity College OF Agriculture.
OF the total fruit product of the Uni
ted States, the apple comprises eighty
three per cent. A consideration Of the
apple growing area OF the state Is,
therefore, an important index to the
horticultural ~interestO of the state.
During the past ten years the apple
orchards OF Missouri have been in
creasing enormously IN area. The
state now holds first place in the ex-
tent OF It's apple orchard area. The
census Of 1900 credits Missouri with
having over twenty million apple trees,
the number having been more than
doubled in a single decade. This is
one third as many again apple trees as
are grown in any other stale IN the
Union. Illinois taking second place
with about fifteen million trees. The
apple orchard area in Missouri, Illinois.
Kansas and Arkansas has increased
enormously in The last ten years but
there is no danger of apple growing
IN the United S ates being overdone.
A study OF the conditions in the va
rious orchard states shows that in man
y of the older states apple trees are
dying out faster than new ones are
being planted. The apple production
of the entire country then is hardly
keeping pace with our increase in pop
nlatlon. During the last ten years the
fruit production of the United States
he's only increased fifteen per cent,
while the population has increased
about twenty ore per cent. The enor-
nous increase in fruit growing in this
section Of the C untry is then only
local condition aud shows that our
extensive orchard growing area is being
moved from the northeastern states %
the central west.
While II fruit production is increas-
ing less rapidly than our population,
our market Is broadening. In former
years the fruit of each locality was
consumed locally. An over produc-
ton in one section often led to low
prices and the spelling Of great quanti-
ties of fruit in that section while 10
some other localities there might be a
dearth Of the same kind OF fruit. With
in the last decade, however, rapid
transit, refrigeration and improved
methods Of handling, enables the grow
er to ship fruit from airy state to the
most remote sections Of the country.
The introduction c cold storage ena-
bles the dealer 10 carry the apple crop

stead of having to be consumed during
a few months of autumn and early
winter. Within the last few years a large
foreign demand for American apples
has developed. In some Of the
important European markets the re.
ceipts of American apples have on an
average practically doubled each year
during the last five years.

WHY REMEMBER
THE LEpERS ?

Editor Advertiser: Not because they
have always been remembered-thoug
that is something of a reason. These
strangely pathetic people-living yet
but half alive-are not so far from us.
Is it from this fact that our interest
has worn off? And yet the tenderness
of our warm-hearted community has
not infrequently overfiowed in rich Of
ferings = sometimes incongruous it
must be confessed-to the lepers at Ka :
laupapa. 1t could be aroused again,
We're it not for the fact that the govern
ment "a kindly nursing mother) is sup
posed to be doing, is doing, good deal
for the lepers. The crumbs that fall
from our table, however Chat is about
all we ever give, isn't it?), are still well
come to them, especially when accom-
panied by a loving communication from
the outside world-that world that they
| will never see again. After all, the
chief reason for remembering the iepers
| is, that is eminently a Christian thing
| to do. What is Christmas without the
| Christ, who gave much loving ninistra-
| ton to this very afflicted class,-hope-
| less We're it not for Him?
! AS has been said in these columns
| before, little money will go a great
way, with the skiiful purchasers at the
command of the Hawaiian Board A
few gifts of SIS, still more of s4, SO and
81, will bring the sum up to say 500,
which will be more than ample. This
money should be left at the Board
rooms, 400 Boston block, within a day
or two. Remember that the box will be
| closed on Saturday Che 19th) of this
week as it must go on Monday follow
| ing. x. Y. II.

OUR AETHoDs IN MORO LAND.

Let it be trusted that General Weyler
Manila Cablenews. else he might run
across this account of how General
Leonard Woods prosecuting his cam
paign against the Moros:
The Moros are implacabie.
| They demand revenge for an Insult to
/ their creed which resulted from an or
der of Lieutenant Colonel Rodgers of
| the Fifteenth Cavalry, which regiment
was recently relieved from garrison
duty at Jolo.
A "juramentado" was shot to death
on the streets of Jolo after he had par
TALLY disembowelled a member of e
| Troop of the Fifteenth Cavalry.
; One of the bullets ranged upward
through the fanatics body and killed
/ the chief bugler of the Fifteenth.
Colonel Rodgers ordered the dead
fanatic buried with pig.
I No greater insult can be shown the
pork stunning Mohammedans.
| A deep grave was dug just outside
the walls of the City at Jolo.
| Stark naked the "juramentado'' was
thrown into it.
| Above the grave was placed der
pig.
The animals throat was cut and the
blood allowed to fall upon the Moro S
body.
The burial rite began at high noon
The event had been advertised and
more than 2,0O0 fully armed Moros Wit
messed it.
Near the grave was drawn up dis
mounted squadron of the Fifteenth
Cavalry.
Close behind the Cavalry the grim
faced soldiers of the First Battalion OF
the Seventeenth Infantry stood ready
for instant action.
A short distance across the plain
from the troops crowded the sullen
Moros.
Many of their kris blades We're bare
and many "a long-unused Remington
loaded.
The Infantry and Cavalry carried 260
rounds to a man and all magazines and
chambers were loaded. ts5
Colonel Rodgers superintendent the
giving of the lesson. ~
No details tending to impress itIup
on the Moro mind We're omitted even
if they did smack of barbarism.
There was not moment during the
event that the soldiers were not ex-
pectant of instant attack from Etfre
savage horde about them.
The suspense was thrilling.
1t was like the campaigning days.
The shades of evening We're beginning
to fall when the bugle sounded and the
troops marched back to their quarters.
