State HOrticultura1S Society.

Senator John P. Logan, super intendent of the horticultural de- partment for Arkansas at the Louisiana Purchase exposition, who is in the city, is president of the Arkansas State Horticul- tural society. He said yesterday, says the Little Rock Gazette.
 ''The next meeting of the State Horticultural society will be held Jan. 12 i'll Van Buren, and it will be one of the most important gathering in the history of the society. The agricultural de- partment at Washington will send several lecturers of note to the meeting, and they will discuss topics of great interest to the horticulturalist of the state."
 For the past few months Sena- tor Logan has been busily engag- ed securing material for the fruit display of Arkansas at the big exposition in St. Louis, and not withstanding that the apple and peach crops were short in the state this year, he succeeded in getting together fine lot of the fruit, which is now in cold storage in St. Louis.
 "Next year, said Senator Logan, "I look fer a banner apple crop in Arkansas. AS an evidence of the shortage this year, where 1,2O0 barrels are usually shipped up in my section, only 200 barrels were sent out this year. The same per centage of decrease apples to other apple growing sections" :"

A GOOD UP-TO-DATE FABLE
The Moral of Which Presents
 Good Business Proposition.

In an early day in Kansas, when the Indian was still whoop- ing it up across the plains in pur- suit of the buffalo, a man from the East crossed the Missouri river and travelled up the "kaw," says the Mail and Beeze. The wild grass was growing 27 feet tall and some corn that had been planted by an early settler looked like a Green Forest. "Here' said the man from the east, lis the garden spot of the world. This land is bound to be worth S100 an acre within a few brief years. l"
 Then the man from the east went back home and sold all that he had and gathered his coin to- gether to the amount of 5000 plunks and, coming back to the new state of Kansas, he invested it in Kansas land, at the rate of S2.5O per acre, to the last dollar. And when the man saw that he had title to 10000 acres of good Kansas land he sat down and figured that within ten years from that date he would be worth just a million. In the meantime he figured that he could make a rattling good living from the rent of his lands and have several thousands every year saved up in addition to the raise in value of his possessions, but it happened that the next year was bad for the horny handed sons of toil, and the rent the man got from his land didn't anywhere nearly pay his taxes, and most of his land was sold by the treasurer of the coun- ty. 'sThis is hard luck" remark ed the hopeful man from the east, sbut next year l will make it back all right and redeem this land be- sides having a lot of coin to salt away. .' But the next year the grasshoppers hit that part of the Lords country, and they didn't do a thing to the crops. The man with his O.O00 acres not only didn't have any money with which to pay the back taxes, but he was shy on provender for him. self and family. In the mean time another bill for taxes piled up against the land. The third year he found a man who was willing to lend him some money on mortgage on the land at the rate of 12 per cent and agents commission in addition, but by the time the agent took out enough to pay his commission and settle for the back taxes and the interest in advance for one year the surplus turned over to the mortgagor looked like 30 cents. And for the next three y ears he dug along trying to keep up the taxes and the interest on that mortgage, but hail storms and chinch bugs and occasional hot winds knocked out most of his crops, so that when the mortgage fell due he had to deed the land to the mortgagee to keep him from getting personal judg- ment, and the amount he got out of it after satisfying the mortgage was about sufficient to pay for a team of spavined mules. So the man from the east went away busted and speaking in profane manner in regard to the state of Kansas. But the next year the land that had been taken on a mortgage produced crops that netted the owner $50, ,00O and five years there after sold the land for half a million and the buyer of tie same was convinced that he had snap"

To Morphine From Doctors Orders. Habit Worse Than the Disease. Dr. Miles Nervine Cured

During the three years l suffered from nervous prostration found no relief except when doctors gave morphine. To, get rid of suffering took morphine my self as it was the only thing that would give ease, and now you, who point with scorn at morphine using, how could you, when in such agony, knowing it about the only thing that would give relief, resist it? knew it was terrible habit and knew of its deadly grasp, but never fully realized its signif- canoe until had used it number of months. Oh, the misery of being addicted to such habit l resolved then and there to quit it and resolved 1 would never be slave to any such demon. About this time happened to notice Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine adyer- tised and ordered bottle. After using five bottles l can truthfully say am cured of using morphine.
