The Peach State.

Georgia has held the lead in the pro
duction of peaches for the Eastern
market since 1902. and 1t is likely to De
for years to come the leading peach
state in the Union. The supremacy has
been wrested from Maryland. Twelve
years ago the order of the chief peach
producing states was: Maryland
100000 trees; Delaware. 4.52O,OOO;
New Jersey. 1900. 900; Georgia, 3'1oo'
coo. Since that time the peculiar ex
cellence OF the soil and climate of parts
of Georgia for peach growing has been
established, with the result that Geor
gia has largely increased the number
of its peach-beaTing trees. while in the
other states there has been diminu'
ton in the number of trees.
In the fall of 1901 the number OF
peach trees reported in these states,
and expected to be in good bearing in
1902, was: Georgia, 7,66O,OOO; Mary
land, 4,O15. 900; New Jersey, 100000;
Delaware, 100000. In the following
year. accordingly. Georgia had the
bumper crop. She had SO far surpassed
all other states in number of trees that
she is likely to continue to be the
peach state par excellence for an in
definite tIme.-New York Sun.

ADMIRAL scHLEY IN YOUTH.
Two Important Incideats in Life o.
American Saiior.

During the civil war Capt. Schley,
then in command of the Monongahela,
was sent up TO lombard one of the
works at Port Hudson. While firing
on the fort signals were hoisted on
the flagship to recall him. but he could
not read them and kept on firing un-
til the fort was silenced. When he
reported on beard the flagship Farra-
gut said sternly: Captain. you began
early in life to dlsobey orders; and
when Schley tried to explain about
the signals that were seen but could
not be read, the admiral said he
wanted none of this Nelson business
in his squadron about seeing signals"
Afterward, however. when in the cab
in, the admiral said to him: DO 1t
again. whenever in your judgment it
is n nacessary to carry out your conccp-
tion of duty"
Shortly before the opening of the
civil war Schley was ordered to the
steam frigate Niagara, which was
detailed to carr. back to Japan the
Japanese embassy to the United
States, after Commodore Perry had
opened the island kingdom. In her
return home the Niagara left Cape
Town in March. 1861. and she reached
Cape Cod early in May. where pilot
named Dolliyer came on board with
his pockets full Of newspapers. The
captain asked for the news with such
eager anxiety that the pilot stopped
to ask where the Niagara had come
from. Then he said bluntly: why.

It was the first they knew that civil
war was on. The officers of the Nj
agara were called upon to decide
whether they would stand by the old
flag or not. new oath of allegiance
was presented TO all the crew. Schley
was from Maryland. \ number of the
officers refused to take the new oath.
but he. with a look at the ships en-
sign. which he could see through

A Painful Obituary.

1t is always sad to see the taking
of of a strong. valuable life in its
carly vigor. If the untimely end is
due, either wholly or in part, to the
use of tobacco and alcohol, we nat
urally feel still more sorry to see such
an unworthy shipping out of useful
and potentially great life. We note
that Noah Raby, of Eatontown, n. j.,
recently died, and under circum-
stances that make his death particu-
iarly sad. Mr.. Raby. according to his
own statements. which seem to be
pretty wei! confirmed. was but 1876
years old, and there can be little
doubt that his untimely death was
due to his consumption of liqnor dur.
ing l20 years Of that time. He was a
constant user of alcoholic beverages
and tobacco, and had 1t not been for
the desdly effect of these poisons upon
his su ,ng and vigorous system. Mr..
Raby might have lived to good old
age. Too bad!-California Journal OF

Mrs. f. NJ. De Long. of No. 100
West Broadway. Council Blufs, Iowa,
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter of 1896.
She gave the doctor a chance to help
her. which he failed to improve. and
then she did some thinking and eN-

successful that she deems it her duty
to tell the story OF her escape from

SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is erape.Nu,s.

In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape.Nuts.
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre-digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape-Nuts. for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible uourishment. A woman who
used 1t says:
Some time ago | was very i'll with
typhoid fever. so i'll everyone thought
| would die. even myself. 1t left me
so weak | could not properly digest
food of any kind and also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
Il needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could. but none of the tonics
helped me until l finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that thought
delicious az could be, but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again
so | can do all my housework. sleep
well, can eat anything without any
trace of bowel trouble and for that
reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth
its weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever. like some other dis
eases. attcks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre-digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage Of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone. no matter how weak the stom-
ach. can handle 1t ans grow strong, for
all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and 10 days

TOO MANY BEARS
TERRoRIzE THE NATIONAL PARK
Man and Boy Killed at Yellowstone
Lake Hotel.-Campers and Private
Copyeyapree in DINNER

Conveyances in D1nee-.
A Cody, Wyoming. dispatch says that
man and boy employed in the yell
lowston National park were recently
killed by bears. The names cannot be
obtained, but the victims were in the
employ of the Lake hotel. on Yellow
stone lake. The authorities endeayored
to keep the matter from the public. but
the news was brought out by campers.
The authorities say the man and boy
were teasing the bears and were to
blame but the campers tell a different
story. at follows:
One dry the door of the meat house
at the hotel was left open and the man
and boy Were sent to close il. When
they reached the small building they
heard commotion inside. Before they
could escape the were attacked by two
huge cinnamon bears. The boy was
killed instantly and the man 50 badly
injured he died.
The park officials are alleged to have
done much to cover up the details of
the affair and have left the impression
that death did not occur. They now
admit that the two men wee killed,
but say they were to blame.
The time is not far distant when it
will be impossible for the poorer class
owing TO the constantly increasing
number Of bears. Many parties en-
route home from a visit to the park say
that the journey through the wonder
land was most dangerous.
1t is alleged that the park transport
alton company and the hotel proprie-
tors are doing everything possible TO
discourage campers and private con-
veyances from making the trip.
The bears nave become 50 numerous
and bold that even the park guards are
frequently compelled TO shoot the
beasts to save their own lives.
Recently a freighter from Gardner in
passing through the park was attacked
by bears and he shot one OF them. a
mounted police Immediately placed
the freiEhter under arrest, despite
the fact that the bear climbed onto
the wagon. The major in command re-
leased the freighter.
A formal protest will be made to
President Roosevelt. who will be asked
to decrease the number Of bears in the
park. have them confined in an in
closure, or make arrangements for the
better protection of tourists.

Beauty and the Babies.

As a guardian of children, no hu.
man being ever surpassed Beauty"
an Irish setter dog. says Daniel Lee
of $50 South Fifteenth street, her
owner. Lee has trained his dog to
take care of the little pickininnies
which call him pap. He says that
the dog is better than a nurse to
keep the children from harm and
would willingly sacrifice her life to
save that of his children. Lee has
one little girl who likes to play in the
street. She occasionally tries to do
this, although her mother has strict
ly forbidden It,
Beauty knows that the children
should not go out of their own yard"
said Lee yesterday. .and whenever
my little girl tries to go through the
gate she has rough and tumble
fight with Beauty. Beauty will run
in front of her and If she refuses to
stop grasps her dress and pulls her
back. She holds on in spite of any
efforts she makes to get away. Some
times the child in her innocence re-
sents the dogs actions and cuffs and
kicks her. When she hurts her the
dog whines pitifully, but still holds on.
The other day the child in her rage
took hold of the dogs ear with her
teeth and bit 1t. The dog howled in
pain, but did not offer to do her in
jury"
Beauty is a very valuable dog and
has a faultless pedigree. Some time
since she gave birth to twelve little
beauties and is not out of the yard
much now. as she has children of her
own to care for.-Denver Republican.
