HE PROVED HIS WORTH.
He Was the Right Sort for
SoM-im- Law.

"A young man of somewhat ex-
uberant disposition said an old

community the other day, relates the
Chicago Chronicle, had been hang
ing around my girl for some time
and | saw that unless something
was done before long he would soon
become member OF the family.
had frowned upon the matter right
from the start, as | didn't think he
was good enough tor my daughter.
But from the beginning I simply
constituted a hopeless minority, as
my wife thought he was perfect
paragon. 1 thought l knew better
and when one Sunday I saw him at
ball game I was sure of 1t.
II am a great lover OF the Ameri-
can game and Sunday is the only
day that l have time to attend. 1
have always been very careful to
keep from my wife the fact that
ever attended a game of ball on Sun
day, as she is very strict church
member and views with horror any
one who seeks pleasure on the Sab
bath. So when I saw the young man
there at the game | thought | had
found way to bring her over to my
side, knowing full well that if l did
his chances of becoming a member
of the family were mighty slim. I
hadn't the slightest ide. that he
had seen me there and | thought I
could startle an admission from him
that would show him up in his true
cOlors and without danger to myself.
So when he called the other night 1
said suddenly:
young man, where were you last
Sunday?"
"Oh. | just sat two rows ahead OF
YOU he answered, easily.
THAT threw explanations back on
me and left me gasping for breath.
Fine sermon, wasn't it?" he add
ed a moment later, coming to my
rescue like the trump he is.
"'Oh, you dear fellow, did you go
to church and say nothing to me
about it, cried my wife. How
lovely! What was the text?'
II was simply incapable Of an
swering and again that young man
filled the breach.
Ninety and nine said he.
"The score wasn't quite as bad as
that-almost, though. Say, he's tn.
finest young man that ever drew
breath and he can have anything
that belongs to me-

Rarely, if ever, has there been such
a superabundance of fruit as now
abounds in the New England orchards,
The limbs of the apple and pear trees
hang heavy under the weight of their
enormous yield, and the ground be-
meath the trees is covered with the de-
caying droppings. In some localities
fine apples may be had for the picking
and an offer of half a dollar a barrel
for the fruit on the tree is eagerly ac-
cepted in the rural districts. Thou
sands Of bushels are being fed to the
cattle and pigs and the cider mills are
glutted with raw material for the
presses. 1t seems a pity to see such
a large quantity of fine fruit going TO
waste. 1t is almost superfiuous to Of

of Boston when it was originally un-
dertaken. Undoubtedly a great many
bushels of apples can now be had for
the asking.

Long Distance Telephony.

Twenty-Five years now marks the
span of life of long-distance telephony.
Before 1879 no telephone message had
been transmitted from one city to an
ether and few persons at that time
would entertain the idea of transmit
ting the human voice over q wire for
thirty or forty miles.
Three years after the invention OF
Alexander Graham Bell had been ex-
hibited at the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia and had excited the curt
osity of the world, rather as a scien-
tific novelty than a practical utility,
these men in the New England COM
pany authorized the construction OF q
line from Boston to Lowell, a distance
Of twenty seven miles. When the wire
had been strung it was found that
they We're right in their expectations,
and the voice of person speaking in
Boston could be heard by the person at
the receiver in Lowell.
The first experimental line in which
copper wire was used was that from
Boston to New York. completed in 1884.
and this was in turn followed by an
extension to Philadelphia and other
points of commercial Importance, so
that the cities in the eastern section
of the country We're soon linked to-
gether. Then the lines were pushed
westward. and on Oct. 81, 1892, Profess

MESSAGE FROM THE ARCTIC.
Diary of Last Explorer, Baron Toll,
Tells of Trip to Bennett Islands.

st. Petersburg, April 22.-The last
document left by Baron Toll, the arctic
explorer, from whom nothing had been
heard directly since he left the yacht
Zaria in 1902 and started for Bennett
island and who Is reported to have per-
ished in the Arctic ocean, has been
found by Lieut.. Kolchak. 1t Is dated
at Paul Keppen bay, Bennett island,
Nov. II, 1902, and is as follows:
Accompanied by Astronomer See
berg and two traders, l left the winter
quarters of the Zaria in Nirpich bay on
June T. We proceeded by the north
ern shore of Kotelnyi and rhaddous
islands to Cape Vysod and on July Ii
we headed for Bennett island. The Ice
was rather broken on July % and we
prepared to take to two 'baydars (na-
tive boats). Here we killed the last of
our dogs.

HOUSE CLEANS UP BUSINESS.
Gives Evidence of Approaching Ad-

Gives Evidence of Approaching Ad-
journnent by Passing Bills.
Washington. April 22.-The house
yesterday gave evidence Of approaching
adjournment by passing a large number
of bills, among them one to provide
temporary government for the Panama
canal zone.
A rule was adopted after the demo-
sideration at any time OF the bin
creating a commission to investigate
The merchant marine of the United
States and the bill was then laid aside.
The substitute for the kittredge bill
for the government of the canal zone
was considered. Messrs. Adamson, OF
Georgia, Stevens of Minnesota and
Richardson of Alabama, members of
the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce which unanimously reported
the substitute, urged its passage con-
lending that it was similar to what
Jefferson had approved for the govern
ment of the territory OF Louisiana. The
bill was vigorously opposed by Mr..
Harrison of Kentucky, who character
lied it as despotisln run mad, be-
cause it gave the president authority,
greater than any sovereign in the world.
He snrcastically remarked that MEM
bers ought to be grateful that the
president had consented TO consult the
house instead of legislating from the
White house as he is accustomed to do
ing" He thought that on the eve of
presidential election this autocratic
power" would throw open to him six or
seven hundred offices.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of
the committee explained that in the alb
sence OF definite knowledge of the con-
ditions existing in the zone, the COM
|mittee had resorted to the great pre-
cedent of Thomas Jefferson. He got
into spirited colloquy with Mr.. Gaines
of Tennessee who asserted that there
already were statutes affecting the gov
ernment OF the canal, but that the
president had ridden over them rough
shod
Il doubt IL it is the idea of the best
standards OF citizenship" tartiy replied
Mr.. Hepburn, that a man shall stand
as a brawler constantly against the
chief executive of his nation"
After some further talk the bid was
passed unanimously.
