CROWDS AT THE STREET FAIR.

Midway Was damned For Hours Last
Night.
For five hours last night the grounds
of the street fair were packed with 9
multitude of sightseers, and merriment
ran rampant. It was almost lmpossi-
bic for one to get about the plaza, so
dence was the crowd, and the shows
evidently did splendid business. The
free attractions are Of superior order
and caused the carnival visitors to rub
Der muchly. By this afternoon and
night the fair will be in full swing and
at lite best.

tiently, you had better marry Warren
Page after ALL" Elizabeth's cheeks
were of delicate geranium pink as
she replied:
but lady can't do the asking, if it
Is the twentieth century" In this speech
the maiden was acting with not the
strictest regard for that truth which
the Father of His Country held dearer
than many cherry trees.
Mr.. Warren Page was an English art
list, the younger son of an aged family.
and his talent was surnamed genius by
circle Of admiring friends. He had
been introduced to Miss Thorne at the
New York horse show, had fallen In
love with her at the Louvre in Paris
and had endeavored more than once to
lay his heart and his prospects at her
feet, but mans desire to propose had
been foiled by his own consciousness

and his nose was crimson tipped, like
Burns mountain daisy, but there the
comparison ceased, for 1t was neither
wee nor modest. Sir Aubrey had made
known the fullness Of his heart,
though he made no mention Of the
emptiness OF his excheQuer; but Eliza
beth had deferred her reply until Octo-
Der. when she was to meet Sir Aubrey
at the Ainslees' house party. The other

vN certain confidential moments
81 when he had partaken with I'M
reserve of the beer that made Mil
waukee famous, Mr.. Hiram
TLorne would admit that lie had begun
life with lone darned dime" In other
respects Mr.. Thorne was not an Of
fensively self made man, and you heard
more in sadness than in wrath that he
was millionaire. He was not such a
very multimillionaire, for he had only
a bowling acquaintance with the steel
trust and as yet he had bestowed no
public library upon an innocent COM
munity. The source of his modest mil
lions was cheese-cream cheese-and
his daughter fervently thanked God
that she was not as other Chicago girls
were, who had to look upon breakfast
bacon as the streaky origin Of the pa
ternal fortunes. Hiram had shown
himself SO ungrateful as to refuse to
bestow thousands upon the Sanskrit
department of certain university, he
had treated ungenerously requests from
a school of practical science. and the
press Of his beloved metropolis had
limited that he was lacking in public
spirit. Therefore he decided to so to
Europe and, as he expressed it in mo-
ment of rare mellowness, elbow it all in
on castle"
Mrs. Thorne had died when the cream
cheese was in its early stages, and the
millionaire's only child, Elizabeth. was
the typical daughter of the man
who has achieved financial greatness.
She was slender. buoyant, beautiful
and certain clubman declared that
she had the air of having fed on the
roses and lain in the lilies of life"
Through acquaintanceship with GER
tain American notables and by right
divine Of grace and gold Miss Eliz-
abeth Thorne had attained unto the ex-
perience Of London season. Hiram
had been under the horrible impress
sion that America expects every won
an to demand duke, and the thought
OF confronting large band OF hungry
creditors belonging to certain ''grace"
had disturbed his peace. But lie was
spared such financial shock, for every
wearer Of the magic eight strawberry
leaves was abroad or already provided
with father-in-law, and at the end Of
the season there were but two mem
bers of the aristocracy who were any
serious annoyance. There was Sir
Aubrey Penrhyn. who was possessed of
a tumbledown castle In Wales and of
many ancestors whose deeds had been
of doubtful sanctity. The castle was
sadly In need of repairs. and its owner
had an appreciation Of maidens with
golden hair and calm gray eyes. There
fore when his monocled glance rested
upon Elizabeth Thorne he felt that fate
had been more than polite to him, and
he proceeded to compass the fair
American with floral observances. But
be was elderly and impervious to jokes,

A Natural Curio.ftv.

James Pompelly, a cobbler at 9O1
Hewitt avenue, has one of natures
curios in the shape of an endless alder
root that evidently grew around a log
about foot in diameter There were
originally several small branches, but
It is impossible to discover the point
where the ends grew together, forming
an almost perfect circle. The curio
was found by small boy-Ererett

you. The truth is that I've lost pile

town in New York state instead Of hay-
Ing high old time. But l may pick

I'm awfully proud Of you, daddie,'
said Elizabeth. with slight catch in
her voice You're hero even if you

"Well," said Hiram composedly. Il

''Have you told any one in London?"
asked Elizabeth.

APPLE PICKING.
The fiat topped or slack packed boxes
at the fair got no prizes. The bulge
packn is what takes the eye of both
buyer and awarding committees.
Some new exhibitors seemed to be
unaware of what constitutes plate of
apples. For exhibition purposes, five
specimens, all perfect - no worms,
fungus or loss of stems-constitutes
plate. For passing around before COM
pany three of Hood Rivers size are
usually considered sufficient for each
person.
In picking apples, as soon as you
find perfect specimens dropping 1t Is
time to begin to pick although many
kinds need two pickings. Bend the
apple backward from the way it hangs,
and thus avoid pulling off the stem,
which in some varieties is "a serious
loss. Notice how often, where two
apples touch each other that they are
both wormy, and resolve next year to
thin your fruit more than you ever
did before, not only to spite the worms
but to give size to your fruit and insure
a crop every year.
1t seems to take good many costly
lessons to show some folks that it pays
to spray, but most apple men are now
convinced of 1t. There are also good
many men, probably from the east,
who seem to believe that summer cul-
tlvation Is injurious to the trees, but a
few more dry years like the present
will disabuse them Of that notion,
the apple buyer comes around and
says: 81 don't want your apples at
any price. They are too small. F"
Another matter on which many are
now changing their opinion is the idea
that any,variety that is now in bearing
is good enough to keep. The mar
with a dozen or twenty varieties is
looking around to get somebody tc
help him top graft so as to reduce bis
number of varieties to five or six, anc
In some cases even to two. In abou
two years after the average man hal
become convinced on these four points
spraying, cultivating, thinning an'
top grating, his receipts will begin t.
I overbalance his expenses.
