1t is needless TO say that when Mr.,
Londoner's store opened i'm the morn
ing an ever increasing cloud Of dusky
humanity, with teeth that glistened
with the Juice of anticipation. gathered
about the entrance. business in the
store was at standstill, and travel on

that dark multitude 1t was melons or

Mr.. Londoner was az his wits ends.

sidings. and Londoner and the Repub-
lican party were saved. Nobody ever
knew how or whence that pink heart

rhn nInnin For nIoner.

A man whose cardinal goal in life Is
to make money will steal. To such a
man stealing Is a fine art upon the
possession, OF which talent he congratu-
lates himself. Getting more than be-
longs TO him he considers thrift; caus-
ing one man to fail that he may rise he
considers self preservation. He is not
exactly a highwayman-no, he lacks
the criminal chivnlry and physical dar-
ing Of that class Of robber He prefers
to be a genteel scoundrel and so works
the wax Of his egotism into being
whom he esteems TO be exempt from
the Ten Commandments and immune
from criticism. He is encouraged in
this hallucination by his fellow towns
men, and as his wealth expands he
rises to a loftier plane in society, in
commerce. IN politics and in religion

The Ruling Passion.

The ruling passion is often very
strong in death. A senator from
Tennessee discovered this some years
ago. Among his constituents was a
certain man who came to him regu-
larly twice year 70" the purpose OF

man and his family had served the
senator when he was first making
his way up the ladder of politics and
as a result Of this he always obliged
him, and had, moreover, a soft place
In his heart for the man. He OBJ
tanned for him a position In one OF
the departments at Washington; but
this did not seem to be enough, for
regularly at the end of six months
he applied for the ticket to Balti-
more. One day he sickened and
was reported to be dying. The sena-
tor, very much grieved. Immediately
called upon him.

Care of RasnherrY Pntch.

Very few people know how to
properly care for a red raspberry
patch or they do not do as well as
troy know how. AS one rides through
the country he sees many an un-
slightly briar patch which Is q nuis-
ance, Instead of a source OF pleas
ure and profit. The trouble lies In
the fact that red raspberries in
crease or make new plants from the
roots, unlike the blackcaps or pur-
pie raspberries, which increase from
the tip ends of the canes when bu-
ried. A grower may set out 100
raspberry plants and In few years
have thousands of them but the more
plants the fewer berries. The secret
Of getting good crops is to treat the
young plants that come up outside
the hill like thistles or other weeds
and cut them off with a hoe. The
red raspberry is the most popular
cane fruit. 1t commands ready sale,
because of the exquisite quality.
When we learn that with right cul-
ture they are nearly, If not quite as
productive as Strawberries we can
readily see that they are profitable
to grow. Knowing that the red rasp-
berry yield Is in inverse proportion
to the number of canes, the grower
should see to 1t that he gets just the
right number and length of cane ne
cessary for maximum crops.
