HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF. "A
\ SMALLPOX PATIENT.
His Fellow-Laborers Run from His
Presence and, Denied Asylum Every

the ''Pest House, Persons Exposed
May Have Come to Minneapolis.

Herbert McMann had an experience
yesterday which doubtless increased
his sympathy for Jean Valiean--if he
ever read the story of that unfortunate
mans life-in the latter's distressing
search for asylum after his release from
his long term in the galleys.
Early yesterday morning when Nc
Mann, who is employed with gang of
railroad laborers near Hopkins, was
performing his meager and hasty. toilet
he saw in the reflection of his face in
the broken mirror that hangs in his
bunk house, the horrible spots which
told. him certainly that he was af.
which the, sudden realization Of his
plight caused he uttered hoarse curse
A companion asked the cause, and at
the same moment beheld the small
blotches which he, too. Recognized. He
darted out of the bunk house like light

Mr.. Mann followed him, but every

do, he started off towards his regular
work, but the other laborers broke ant

apolis, leaving their small quantities
Of supplies in the clubhouse, which
none of them dared enter. -
Left alone Mccain did not know
which way to turn. He wandered
about in the neighborhood, but nobod,
would take him in. A man who ap
preached near to him saw the blotches
turned and ran some distance and ther
shouted back for Mccain to leave tn,
town-to go go out into the country
anywhere so as not to expose the men
women and children.
Then McMann began a long tramp
alone. After several sickening expert
ences with farmers whom he encoun
tered on the highway, he CONSIDERABLY
avoided passersby. Late last night hi

securing satisfactory railroad rates to

SOIL FOR FRUIT TREES.
The Kind Best Adapted for the Growth
!. Of the Plum-Well-Drained
Soil Needed.

Prof. r. 4. Waugh says: The notion
used to be that plums preferred q
heavy, clay soil. This is still true for
certain classes of plums, particularly
the Domesticas and Damsons; but some
other plums thrive in other soils, so that
by choosing the varieties best adapted
to particular situations plums may b
grown almost anywhere,
4 Even light, sandy soils are suitable
to the Japanese varieties and some n.y.
brids. Taking all kinds of plums to-
sgether, the best soil is that which would
be suitable for apples, and the general
rule regarding apples is that they will
thrive on any soil well suited to pota-
toes. A loose, deep, gravelly soil, with
an open subsoil, is the best for all or
schard trees in this climate.
This is what should be chosen where
1t is available. Where it cannot be had
almost any soil will do, providing only
that 1t is we'll drained. 1t must not
hold water either in summer or winter,
II 1t is inclined to do so, it must be thor
oughly drained, preferably by closed
stone or tile underdrains, before the
trees are planted.
