A Cold New Years.

"Talkin' about New Y'ars,"s said the
old hunter as he knocked the ashes out
of his corncob pipe, reminds me of
Janiwary 1st, 1872, when 1 sot all day
In the top of pine tree"
Were you admiring the scenery of
the countryg' innocently asked the
city chap
"waal, skassly, stranger, skassly,'
he chuckled. Il wuz squintin' right by
all the scenery, hopin' to see my son
Bill come along with his gun an
knock over big grizzly that war sit
tin below me-"
"Treed by a bear, eh?"
"Ye,ve guessed it, stranger. Long
about sundown 1t got so cold that II
brought tears to my eyes, an as them
tears drapped they formed into an ici-
Gle that reached from whar cot cpar
down to the bar. That war all that
saved my life, I reckon"
why, how did that icicle save your
life?" the city chap wanted to know.
1T war this way" replied the old
hunter as he winked at the others who
were listening to the story. "The bar
thought I was lettin' ladder down to
him an begun to climb II, but when he
war fifteen feet from the ground the
icicle busted, an he fell an broke his
neck. You don't want to git scairt,
sonny. when yer treeed by a grizzly,
but jest hold on tight an leave the rest
to Providence. II the icicle hadn't done
the. trick I'd have probably fell down
on the bar purity soon an killed him
that way"

FOOLS AND THEIR MoNEY.-A stout
woman rode up to the White street en-
trance Of the criminal court building
on a bicycle, says the New York Sun.
Sitting on the steps outside were half
a dozen men talking about the election.
BEG pardon, gentlemen, I'm palm
ist." said the woman, land for rs cents
apiece I will, without a doubt tell you
in advance the returns Of the election,
and who your next president will be-
One man thought she was dement,
ed and moved away. Another said he
would like to know, and proceeded to
produce a quarter. Another man add
ed a quarter. When she saw no more
coming, the woman opened small bag
she carried. Handing a card to each
of the men, she said:
Gents, look them over and I'll re-
turn for them in five minutes. Please
don't lose Them"
Tie men looked the cards over.
They gave figures from various states
which the card said Parker would car
ry. Then one of the men happened to
turn the card over. On the other side
II said:
I'm a fool, amt -"
They waited nearly an hour for the
woman, but she hasn't come back yet.

RATHER PREHIsToRIc.-In Virginia
village, the pastor Of small coloreo
congregation was giving a series Oh
sermons on miracles, says Snort Sto-
ries. In the rear seats Of the little
church were five or six young people
who had recently come back from q
college in a nearby state with very cif-
ferent views on religion than when
they left 1t. Therefore they were very
critical Of the old preachers religious
explanations.
On this Sunday he arose and all
nounced his theme as follows:
"Breddern an slsIern, I shall dis
course dis morning on the power OF
de miracle, as announced proceeding
ly, an am gwine ter take as example
de chillern Of Israel acrossin de Red
sea. Der wus Moses on de brink OF
de sea, and right benin him was de
army Of Pharaoh. An all at onces ST
breddern, de sea froze over es solid
es a rock, an de chillern and Moses
walked across"
At this moment one Of the young
men In the rear rose up and said:
why, parson, that can't be possible
water don't freeze at the equator"
The old man hesitated q moment, and
then replied, scornfully: Il just
knowed one Of you young niggers wus
gwine ter dispute de work OF de
Lawd. Young man, when the Red sea
froze der warn't no geography and
der warn't no equator

WHO SAW IT F1RsT.-Jim and Fred
brothers Of six and four years OF age
were fond Of arguments between them
selves, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid. They were arguments that never
went beyond the wordy stage, but on
occasion became somewhat heated.
They were out one day with their
nurse when they happened to pass an
old house that was a landmark in the
neighborhood. Instantly the spirit of
dispute was aroused. Said Jim the
elder: II saw that house first"
Fred picked up the gage of battle
promptly and replied; No, you didn't;
I saw it before you did"
mo. you didn't" persisted Jim. Il
saw 1t before you were born. cause I'm
older than you and passed by here
fore you were born."
This was convincing, even to Fred's
infantile mind, and for some time he
was silent. Then after a pause he an
nounced triumphantly: Il don't care
IL you are the oldest, I saw 1t before
you. When / was dust l blew by this
house and saw It,"
Jim was silent.

LORD KITCHENER DID AS HE WAS
ToLD.-From an Indian correspondent
comes the following amusing story OF
Lord Kitchener and a determined lit
tie lady Of three or four summers. It
happened on board the ship conveying
Lord Kitchener to India. One after
noon *. of K" was doing In his
deck chair, for even Homer mods
awhile, when the small maiden In
question, playing with her ball, per-
haps by accident, perhaps by design
let 1t fly into his lordship's face whence
II rolled to his feet. Lord Kitchener
woke up and turned upon the child,
who by this time had approached him,
that basilisk gaze before which the
hearts of strong men have often turn
ed to water.
But the child was in no wise abash-
ed. Pick up my ball." she said I'M
peratively. Lord Kitchener frowned
and answered not.
"Pick up my ball. reiterated the
small damsef insistently.
Haven't you got nurse?" said
Lord Kitchener in an awful voice.
The interrogative mood was an
swered by the impressive:
"Pick up my ball!"
Lord Kitchener looked around des-
pairingly, but reinforcements were not
In sight. Where Is your motherE
he said weakly.
"Pick-up-my-ball! The ulti-
matum was delivered in crescendo
tones which suggested the imminence
of something worse to follow, and
Lord Kitchener meekly complied.
Then he fed incontinently to the
smoking room.-M. A. P.

ORCHARD PLAN TING.

At a recent meeting Of the New York
Fruit Growers association, there was
found among the commercial orchard
lists present considerable difference OF
opinion In regard 10 the proper dis
lance Of planting apple trees for COM
mercial orchard, varying from l5xl5 to
30x30 feet. In the experience OF the
dlffe ent members, those who would
plant more closely were sure that the
trees helped to protect one another, that
trees so planted frulted at younger
age than trees widely planted, The
whole question devolyed on the nerve
Of the orchardst. Those who favored
close planting urged that the COM
mercial planter was In a sense n manu-
facturer, and should be expected to
have decision enough tn cut out the
alternate trees at the proper time. This
work II not q matter OF sentiment
hampered by q regard for the tree,
but business proposition. II was con-
ceGed that the farmer planting n family
orchard would not cut at the proper
time. Therefore the family orchard
must be planted with ample room. A
number OF the orchardists present
better by reason OF the protection af-
forded by the alternate trees, In add
ton to which the orchardsts secured
several crops Of apples from the alter
nate trees before time for removal Re-
moyal of alternate trees may be de-
layed by shortening their limbs, and
thus allowing proper development Of
the permanent trees.
