Sit Down on Hiu.

Nearly every city and town has in
it one or more men engaged in busi-
ness, who seek to profit by the en-
terprise OF others, without bearing
any of the burdens they can BY
hook or crook avoid, which the
really enterprising business man
has to assume.
Manchester is not afflicted with
but few of that class, its business
men, as rule, being enterprising
in every sense of the word. But
Manson evidently is not SO fortunate,
else why should the editor of the"
Democrat Of that city been moved to
pencil the following:
sPatronize your home merchant
is the slogan Of many country,
newspaper that means well and is
endeayoring to boost for its town.
Such slogan is mighty good one
in many towns and mighty poor
one in others. By all means patron
ize your home merchant providing
he is worthy Of your patronage. IF
he is hustler who gets around
early in the morning, keeps his
store and stock clean and up to the
times, charges a reasonable price
for his goods, runs an ad in the
newspapers and pays his share to
everything that goes to help the
town, patronize him and boost for
him for he is helping to improve
the town and enhance the value Of
your property. But if he is q drone
in the hive Of industry and keeps a
dingy, dirty store, pays his help
starvation wages and works them as
many hours every day as possible,
refuses to advertise and positively
declines to contribute what he
should to public enterpriseand votes
against every measure that will help
the town in order to keep his taxes
down, sit down on him hard and,
withhold your patronage from him
until you starve him out and bust
him up in business. Such fellows
are not worthy the, name Of "mer-
chant" and are on earth to get all
the can and keep all they get. They
are curse to any town and many
towns that have good natural adj
yantages are killed off by such skim
fiints. Many Of them are continual
ly bowling for patronage because
they are ''home merchants" but
never think of patronizing their
brother business men when they can
save a few cents by sending away
for anything. They are in the same
class as the fellow who depends up
on the local community and its pros
perity for a living and then tries to
kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs by sending away to catalogue
houses for everything that lie can
scrape up the cash to pay for. The
way to .patronize" such fellows is
to carry q good, big hammer for
them" I.

A school That Was Driven Aahore

a school That Was Driven Ashore
at Cape Cod.
One dny in November, several years
ago. the good people living on tho
Massachusetts bay shore at the north
end Of Cape Cod were wrought to tho
highest pitch OF excitement by the ar
riyal OF :ssi immense school Of black
fish which were on the 1ats chnsing
halt, MS the Nnall hsh they feed on are
called. hIa fadually working inshore
The news xspread lIko wildHrn. VII
9lagc stores were hastily closed, school
boys deserted schoolrooms, and even
women il0cked to the. shore. The fiats
along the cOnst make out from hnlf to
= mile and IL half practically level and
almost dry ut low tide where ut high
tide is four to eight feet of water. No
school OF blackfish SO large ,ls this had
ever been henrtl Of And by good luck
tile tide was ebbing..
Hastily tho boats were launched,
each taking a half dozen men and
boys. those not rowing being armed
will, sticks and pieces OF l,oard. In u
4Iuarter Of an hour they were In POSI-
ton in half circle and to leewarl Of
the fish
Close in now came from tho com
modorc. land make all the noise you
can!' And they did. fairly churning
the water with boards and sticks. Tho
thousands of squid and herring on
which the blacktish were feeding as.
sisted in this movement by getting In
to shoal water Ms far as possible SO
that the blnckfish could not follow
them. The result was inevitable. The
fast ebbing tide soon began to leave
the big fish in such shoal water that
1t was difficult for tho larger ones to
swim. Gradually the circle of boats
drew nearer and nearer, and in two
hours 20 per cent OF the entire school
was stranded ON the fats. For weeks
after the villagers were engaged in
cutting up and trying one the oil. The
total catch netted some 1900, many
OF the fish weighing two tons apiece

Cherry Growing.

Iowa is making steady progress
as a fruit growing state. The
census Of 1890 reported 3,l4O,5S8
apples trees growing within hel
borders. In 1900 the number had
reached 6,869, ,5SS.
In 1895 there were 7O7 sos plum
trees in the state; in 1900, 1902
Sl7. In cherry trees the increase
lis even more striking, there beine
100000 trees in 1890, against 800.
GOO in 1900.
While the climate of the north
ern part Of the state is no doubt
too severe for successful cherry
growing with any except the hard
lest varieties, this delicious fruit
can easily be grown in the central
and southern parts. The tree is
handsome and ornamental and is
appropriate for lawn and garden.
Some work recently done by
Profs. Price and Little at the ex-
pertinent station at Ames furnishes
valuable information upon cherry
culture. This material is being
given to the public as bulletin "a
of the station.
A brief historical note on the cherry
is given, followed by discussion
