The Simple Dish That Keeps One

When the Doctor takes his own med

the observer.
A Grocer of Ossian, Ind, had prac-

During these two years have never
missed a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and

Peculiar Steed.

At little dinner the other night the
statement was made that the colored
race had longer memories than white
folk. Mark Twain, who was present,
agreed with the remark. and to prove it
told the following:
Some years ago, when south, met
an old colored man who claimed to have
known George Washington. l asked
him if he was in the boat when Gen.
Washington crossed the Delaware, and
he instantly replied: 'Lor', massa,
steered dat boat Well said l, do you
remember when George took the hack
at the cherry tree?' He looked worried
for a minute, and then, with beaming
smile, said: Why, suah, massa, drove
that hack mahself' IN. Y. Herald.

WHO IS MORE ouLLIRLE?
The City Man Is Not Bit Behind His
Country Cousin in This
Respect.

"IS the man Of the country more guilt
BILE than the man of the city," asked
an observant man, in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. There is suspicion
that an answer in the affirmative would
fit the case. Yet, it may not be SO.
An interesting experiment has recently
been made, according to story that
comes out of New York, and the result
seems to have been little disastrous
According to the story this attempt to
prove that the residents of the country
districts are more gullible than those
of the city has nearly resulted in Jail
sentence for college student employed
as a street car conductor in Brooklyn.
He is said to be member of we'll
known family in Maine, and was
student at Brown university in the class
of '06.
Financial reverses sustained by the
family compelled him to seek work ir
the city, and he became conductor not
long ago. In July friend of the con-
ductor residing in Maine received
letter offering to sell him, at low rates.
COuuISIISlI IuOuGy mdQ0 III MSAlCO
The Maine man turned the letter over
to the secret service officials and the
conductor soon after was arrested. He
was indicted and has been in jail since
July. The prisoner explained that the
letter was only a joke and an expert
ment in sociology, finally giving the
district attorney his true name, which
he formerly had concealed. Investiga-
ton proved the story to be true, and
when the case came before Federal
Judge Holt the district attorney ex-
planned. The judge ordered the joker's
plea of not guilty to be withdrawn,
entered one of guilty and then suspend
ed sentence. He warned the student OF
sociology, however, to be more careful
in his future experiments.
But this does not by any means SET
tie the important question, and despite
the common belief in the gullibility OF
the man from the country now and then
we run across happening which shows
he has an element of shrewdness which
will often put the city man to hard
test of his wits"

HERE AND THERE.

1t is said that newly-laid egg
will keep fresh for many months in
ten per cent solution of silicate, and
will then be indistinguishable from a
fresh egg. 1t has been reported that
chickens have been Matched from pre-
served eggs for IL months in this way.
A Kansas farmer, being asked
what he did to get rid of the weeds
on his farm, said that he sold most
of them as mutton at three to four
cents a pound. A contemporary adds
that goats are the best brush-cleaners,
and sheep are the best weed-cleaners.

Much is frequently lost by hesi-
fancy in trying the new varieties Of

Ben Davis apple, the Keiffer pear and
the Elberta peach have made fortunes
for not over-cautious planters; not that

they proved the money-makers.

New York state, can SEE more older
orchards giving out and going out Of
existence than new ones started. We
here, with our high-quality, long-keep-
ing winter fruit, have little to fear
from the competition OF the Ben Davis
regions. The life Of an apple tree in
Missouri, Arkansas, ETC., is only Is or
20 years, while New York trees give
good crops for a period Of 80 years.
The advantage is largely with the
northeastern grower. Mr.. George T.
Powell, before the Western New York
Horticultural society, pointed out that
the price Of New York apples has
steadily increased during the past 80
years. As long as this increase is
maintained, 1t will be safe to plant APP
pies. Prof. Bailey notices q decided
and increasing tendency of grain grow
crs, and even dairymen, to abandon the
hill-farms for the more advantageous
locations in the level lands. What
shall we do with our hill-farms? The
crops most promising for these lands,
he thinks, are foIArt trees, sheep, and
especially apples. What better could
be suggested Farm and Fireside.
