trading was less than yesterday IN each

opening was influenced by the uncer-

ORANGE TREES AND FRosTs.

The closing decade of thes last cen tury proved very disastrous to Flor ida orange growers. Thousands of them saw the labor of years go to naugflt ial a night, and about half of their number retired from the fight, showing that 50 per cent of the. groves were abandoned after one of the great freezes.
 Those who have held on are trying to solve the problems of protecting their trees from a cold which may come at any lime during the winter months, and which they hope may never visit them. A number Of cX- pedients have been resorted to. Tn some groves piles of fat pine logs have been placed here and there among the trees, ready to be lighted when q falling thermometer shows that the dreaded visitor is near. Tn several instances the entire grove has been surrounded by a high fence, slats be- ing placed across the top to support a roof of heavy canvas. A tent has been. devised which can be put, over the trees when it seems necessary and this has been tried in several sec tions of the state. Another device consists of a box for each tree, a small door being cut on the south side. through which lighted lamp or stove can be put All these methods to save the fruit are, of course, enor- mously expensive, and require a larger bank account than the average grow CT can boast of Many of the groves, however, are owned by wealthy non residents and rich corDoratiOng who are making experiments which may solve the problem that presses upon them. The golden reward that comes to the orange grower after a few years of toll, provided the weather conditions have been favorable. is a temptation to continue the warfare, even after seeming defeat. There are few lines of industry pay as well, and in addition certain prestige attaches to the owner of paying grove. Their number at present is comparatively small-FIorida Letter in Country Gentleman.

GAMBLERS STOPPED FUNERAL
To Auction Feet Of Rabbit Which
 Fell Into Grave and Was Shot.

To Auction Feet Of Rabbit Which 5 Fell Into Grave and Was Shot.
 eeralking about your graveyard rab- bit superstfons and that sort of thing, there is no class of people who be Iieye in 1t stronger than the gamblers" said an old gambler, "and I saw it exemplified in the strangest way at Pfttsburg, Kan, ten years ago. Kid Jackson, one of the best known gamb- ,lerB in that part of Kansas, died of consumption, and all the gamblers set out to give him good funeral. They bought fine casket and all the flow CTS. the room would hold, and had a procession fixed up with plenty Of 1nourners, because there was cer- tainty of refreshments below after the obsequies, even if our friend was not enjoying them above. All the pallbearers were gamblers and friends of the dead man.
 Well. we started out and reached the cemetery all right, and the grave digging man was on hand with his and finally passed out of sight down down on the barriers across the grave and were preparing to let the Kids body down into the grave. Just then a rabbit Jumped out Of a thicket close by and landed right at the bottom of the grave. He was killed in a sec ond Just who fired the shot I never could tell, but it does not matter, We all carried guns in those days and were ready to shoot at the dropping of hat. But, anyway, the rabbit was dead.
 '"The graveyard rabbit, by Cod one Of the fellows said, as the rabbit was picked up. Talk about your mascots, here is one for me- and with that he began cutting off the left hind foot. Hold up there,' said another of the pallbearers, let's sell these off and make up pot for the "Kid's'' folks, if we find he has any folks to send it to them.' It was agreed, and in a minute the funeral services were forgotten and an auction bidding be- gan at $5 for the left hind foot and was promptly raised to $1O and then to S15 and to $2o, and finally the foot sold for more than $50. The other hind foot was bid for and brought $25. The other two feet are not con- sidered of such good. omen and were not so much in demand. When the auction was over we found that the proceeds were a little more than $10O. Then we turned our attention to the body and inferred it as it should have been.
 ''Two of the boys in the bunch who got foot apiece were Ed O'Con- nor and Charlie Chopper. and I have often yondered whether their luck af- ter that was good or bad But have been away from that country and I have not heard from them in years. got one of them and can't find out that 1t has brought me anything that would not have come otherwise Per haps am hoodooed Topeka Capital.

A Coli That Aasiafntl.

One rainy day a farmer opened the barn door and tried to call in the cows. so that he would not have to walk in the deep mud to drive them. One COW re- fused to come, although he called her name repeatedly. A colt, standing at the other side of the yard, watched him, as he yainly tried to drive the COW with out stepping into the mire. Then the colt quietly stepped up to her and bit her. or course she moved. He followed, giving her a nip whenever she moved in the wrong direction, until she went through the door into the barn. Then he trotted back to the other side of the yard.

 4 Bordeau dispatch says that four Russian naval officers bearing dis patches from Vice Admiral Rojestven- sky have arrived there on board the MessAgeries, Maritimes packet. Lieu tenant Nalrold of the torpedo depot ship Kamchatka was interviewed and said that he was conveying to Emperor Nicholas the reports of the command CTS of the warships that were present at the Dogger bank incident, together with Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's re- port. He also was taking for ipvesti- gation by the international commission at Paris the original tapes of the wire less instruments, showing the mes sages that were exchanged between vessels of the Baltic squadron at the time of the firing upon the Gamecock fishing fleet.

When he perceived these boats pur-, suing the squadron the order to fire was given.
