How Matthew Pelgrove transacted
his business next day he does not per-
fectly remember. Even in the days of
his apprenticeship he never glanced so
many times at the clock. But with
how different a motive! Then it was
with the longing that some invisible
agency would push on the slowly-mov-
ing hands and bring release from the
irksome bondage of the office-stool;
now that time might stand still, and
that dreaded outbreak with his wife
fade into unreality. All his self-pos-
session fed as he thought of the even
ing hour.
If only he could frame some plausi-
BILE excuse for his appearance at
Hastings! Matthew, however, was not
an imaginative man, and, rub his wits
as he might, he could find no reason
calculated to bear the faintest inspec-
ton. 1t would be too transparency
thin to sus sest that another man of the
name of Matthew Pelgrove had beer

BARREN ORCHARDS.

1 have been many times asked why
certain orchards do not bear fine crops
Of fruit more frequently. Occasionally
an orchard will be found that is Drac.
tically barren, but there are few such.
II the ground is low and wet an apple
orchard cannot be fruitful. Fruit trees
do not like wet feet, but there Is an.
other reason why some orchards do not
bear as much fruit as they should II
the orchard is planted entirely to one
variety the blossoms Of that variety
may not become fortified as perfectly
as they would If several varieties were
planted in the orchard. In planting
an apple, pear or plum orchard We
would advise that through the centre
Of the orchard row composed Of va
rious varieties be planted in order that
the blossoms of one variety may help
TO fertilize the blossoms Of another.

MAKING TREES FRUITFUL.

l have in my garden several trees Oh
the Hale plum. This variety is mol
productive on young trees growing
vigorously, therefore last year | twist
ed copper wire around one branch as
an experiment, expecting that this
wire, cutting into the bark would cause
that branch TO bear fruit. earlier than
the other branches of the same tree
This year all Of my Hale plum trees
are bearing a moderate amount OF
plums, but the branch wired has ten
times more fruit than any other
branch ON the same tree. Those WHO
desire to fruit a young tree early can
DO so by twisting a copper wire aroma
branch during the growing season
say In June or July. There is danger
mat the wire MAY cut too deep as ihe
branch increases in size, and that the
branch may break off. Anything that
retards the growth Of a tree VIII tend
to bring 1t into early fruiting. Trees
that have been glrlded By mice IN

season. You can twist wires about

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR HAIR.

Mrs. Amelia Weed Holbrook's lecture
on THE Power and Possibilities of
Music, which was recently delivered
in New York, has aroused great inter
est, and she has been besieged by per-
sons wanting to know more about the
application of music as a remedy for
mental and physical ills.
Mrs. Holbrook said that it was as i'm
passible TO prescribe the kind of music
that would make the hair grow as to
prescribe for any other physical condi-
ton.
Generally speaking. piano music is
good for the hair" she said. land the
music of wind instruments is bad, but
the kind of compositions to be used
cannot be set down for definite guild
ance. No one should undertake the cure
rashly, however. for the very tune that
will promote growth on one bald head
viii cause the hair to fall out on an
other.
I'm the treatment of the insane music
has been used with astonishing success
was told today of patient in a hos
pital who had resisted all efforts TO
rouse her from her apathy. a concert
was being given one day, and when
certain tune was prayed the SOuA5
woman left her room. came into the hall
and stood by the piano, the first time
she had left her room except under
eompulsion. since she had been affiict-
ed.
In the treatment of criminals and in
raising the moral and civic standards
music is a remarkable agent. The
spread of the musical artistic spirit
would accomplish more in a commu-
nifty than the millions spent in punish
ing criminals. In the Whitechapel dis
trict in London reforms have followed
the establishment of halls where good
music is produced. New York Herald.

EXCLUSION
ACT TRIAL
Chop Tins Petition For
Fiabeas Corpus
Submitted.

Some pleasantries of the bar We're
evolved out of the habeas corpus case
of Chop Tin before Judge s. b. Dole in
the United states District Court yes
terday.
C. W. Ashford. replying to Assistant
District Attorney j. J. DUNES open
ing speech against the granting of the
writ, claimed that instead of Chop Tins
having been only 'sporadically'' con-
nected with the mercantile business in
which he was interested. he was zen
demicaIly" associated with the man
agement of the store at Kapaia. With
regard to the contended absence of
proof that Chop Tin was not laborer
or at best rice planter, Mr., Ashford
said:
Il happen to know that Mr.. Dunno is
a lawyer and a very able lawyer. Yet

shoulder to work in the sugar cane or

6elving with a spade in banana patch.
At the same time would not take a
great risk in swearing that Mr.. Dunno
is not addicted to the vice of manual
labor. 1 suspect him of other vices,
but not of that one
Mr.. Ashford argued from the statute
and decisions that a man need not
actually sell goods over the counter to
constitute him a merchant doing bust
ness in his own name. For example he
asked if a contrary rule would apply
to the manager of such a large Chinese
firm as Wing Wo Chan Co., or to the
heads of the Hackfeld and Irwin cor
porations.
Mr.. Dunno, in closing reply for the
immigration officers, answered many
questions from Judge Dole. He con-
tended that the point of view was the
Chinese exclusion policy of Congress.
The statute was to be construed strict
ly in favor of that policy. 1t was not
that all Chinese who were not specif1-
cally excluded from the country should
be admitted, but all Chinese should be

quirement for their admission which the
statute provided. The statute required
that two white witnesses must prove
that the subject was a merchant. doing
business in his own name. So far as

made by c. w. Spitz and E ]. Nor
gan We're concerned they proved moth
ing more than that Chop Tin was man
ager of a rice plantation
As to the claim that Chop Tin had
not been given an opportunity to pro-
duce proof that he was a merchant,
with the plea that thereby he was being
railroaded out of the country without
due process of law, Mr.. Dunno quoted
the Treasury regulations that gave him
three days wherein TO produce such
proof. Besides. it was provided that
on request the time might be extended.
Yet Chop Tin had frittered away his
three days without doing anything, and
when the time had elapsed neglected his
privilege of asking for an extension.
Referring TO one of the authorities cited
on the other side. he pointed out that
it was a case of claimed American citi-
zenship. whereas Chop Tin was admit
tedly an alien.
Judge Dole took the case under adj
visement, requesting counsel to furnish
their authorities within twenty-four
hours.

Small articles, of small value. as

tallest shark story of the year, was in

his eye on him and in making one sale

to house the biggest shark on the Kona
