BURGLARS WE'RE HUNGRY.

Thursday night about l o'clock two
burglars broke into the residence of
W. II. Irwin of Austell, entering the
dining room and eating the provisions
that Mrs. Irwin had prepared for break
fast They then came out on the front
porch and made an effort to enter
other rooms. One of them opened the
blinds and raised the window of the
room where Mrs. Irwin was sleeping.
Mrs. Irwin reached for her pistol and
shot three times, one shot taking effect,
but the man fell over the steps and
made his escape. 1t was too dark for
Mrs. Irwin to ascertain whether the
men were white or black. Drops of
blood We're found on the porch and
steps this morning, and a shirt was
found nearby with blood stains on it.,
and a hole the size of bullet in the
right shoulder. Parties are looking for
the burglars. but have not yet found
any trace of them.

to Foster Interest in Horticulture.
From the Denver Republican.
An eminent German botanist who
visited this country last year was
heard to exclaim Indignantly:
You people are barbarians. You
recognize neither the rights of the in
dividual owner nor of the plants and
shrubs
He was referring to the vandalism.
which he witnessed in one of the large
factory towns, where fruit tree, which
overhung q much-traveled highway,
was so broken by the passersby in their
effort to obtain the half-ripe cherries
that it had to be cut down.
Any dweller in the suburbs of the
large cities. or the more country dis
tricts reached by the network of troll
ley systems, might be inclined to echo
his remark. They have had a favorite
rosebush uprooted by the clutch of
greedy hands, a wistaria vine torn
from ito trellis, or a dogwood tree
broken in the time of it's snowy bloom
ing. In almost every case the destruc-
tion was the work of childish hands In
cited more by the desire of possession
than by real love of flowers
The German botanist was shocked
for It is not so abroad In Germany
the roads are shaded by fruit trees.

The mississippi Controls the Grain
Trade.

New Orleans is justified in aspiring
to be an active center of the grain
trade, and not merely a port through
which corn and wheat are shipped on
through bills of lading, for great vol
ume of traffic from the West and
Northwest, as well as the Southwest,
is tending her ways, says an exchange.
Already she leads New York in the
volume of those two cereals exported
from her docks, though in breadstufts
as a whole the Atlantic port is still
ahead. New York is visibly losing
ground in the export grain trade.
month by month, because more and
more it is dependent upon railroads for
transportation from the interior to the
sea coast. The Gulf ports are also
reached mainly by rail, but they have
the Mississippi river as a rival, and
regulator of charges, and New Or
leans has the advantage of position
in getting the benefit of continuous
traffic and low freights. There can be
no combination to deprive her of it by
giving differentials to help Galveston
and Mobile on account of the water
communication.
A study of the shipping statistics of
Ceylon for the past two decades fur
nishes interesting matter for thought,
says the Times or CeyIon. There mas
been progress in every direction, and
the shipping of all nations has from
year to year made greater use of the
island ports. The most remarkable
feature, however, of the shipping sta
tistics, viewed comparatively, is, of
course, the extraordinary progress re-
corded by Germany. 1t is far ahead
of that of any other country, and is a
wonderful testimony to the enterprise
and energy which has been Characters

Pleased.

When II. Woods was doing a commits
sion business in Denver some years ago
no enjoyed a reputation for unques;ioned
honesty and for possessing tho ability to
manage his business in such way as to
give his patrons tho highes, euuen,
prices. His removal to Chicago has no,
In tho least changed the snyiable repu,a-
ton acquired In tho pure air Of Colorado.
Tho returns thus far received by his ship
pcrs In tho valley this season make a
splendid showing topping tho market.
This Chicago business is the result Of
hard work and good management. Four
years ago Chicago was the poorest mar
kst In tho country for tho Rocky Ford
ean,aloupe. But Mr.. Woods made the
Chieagoans acquainted with tho Melted
Cons and ,hey have been in active de-
mand ever since.
Ono fact which has Contributed 20 Mr..
Woods success in handing tho eantaloupes
Of tho valley Is that he has secured a
competent first lieutenant. Dodge Hale
is known as a rustlcr in whatever he un-
dsrtakes and having charge Of Mr.. Woods
business In tho valley has been strong
point for tho success Of tho Chicago sales,
Mr.. Hale lets others business alone but
attends strictly TO having shipments 20
forward in good shape and in caring for
tho growers interests in every way. Tho
result Is that car load lots sold by Woods
arc bringing very fino prices.
