"What sort o. work do you think yoC
would like, Bob?" Hillyer could not
suppress the round note Of sympathy
that dominated his voice.
ut may seem very silly to you." Bob
! declared slowly, "but l am just as sure
that could run a business for myself
as l am that I'm sitting here talking
to you. To make a clean breast OF it
for l know you will understand my
fix-I was on q trade with A. C. Sand
ford. up the street, for his grocery
store. Sandford's wife has got Indian
blood in her an she's entitled to land
in the territory. He wants to move
out there and quit here. I've looked In
to his books an his trade, an he's got
good thing-a thing that could be
built up till it would pay big. He's
got old fogy ways an hasn't kept up
to date, an / believe money can be
made in this town according to late
methods. Well, when l heard he was
thinking of selling out | had talk
with him. I told him l had no money,
but if he'd sell the stock to me on time
I'd pay him. Well, that pleased him
and his wife, too, for they are anxious
to get away, and we even took stock.
1t invoiced about $4,000, an he doesn't
owe a cent in market, but somehow my
father got wind of It, an, Lord, the
row he raised over 1t! He made me
go out in the yard an cut wood all that
morning, an he went down to Sand
ford and said so much against me that
Sanford backed clean out"
Hillyer stared for a moment at
George, who was listening, and then
he looked at Bob. Are you twenty
one?" he asked.
II was last July, Mr.. Hillyer."
"Then you are yore own bossf"
II reckon l am, as far as age goes,
said Bob, with a good natured smile,
but my credit doesn't seem to amount
to much"
"Bob"-Hillyer was not looking at
him-"you must not lose that chance.
It's a good one, and l believe you can
run the business. believe it's in you.
You are interested in 1t, an that's the
chief thing"
THANK you, Mr.. Hillyer. 1 IKE to
hear you say that, but / don't much
blame father. l haven't been living
just like he wanted me to, and have
thought seriously of getting away from
this town. It's pretty hard to do the

The 'sTaiI Enders'' That Follow Genu-

It is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy limitations Of genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there is a splendid opening to fix
up something like Postum Coffee and
advertise the same way and take some
of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant Of
food values and how to skilfully make
a cereal coffee. on scientific lines.
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original, with no knowledge Of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starehy part
is transformed properly and the valu-
able nourishing elements made diges-
tible.
Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for a short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
business.
Something like 400 of these little
factories have been started in various
parts of this country in the past nine
years, and practically all of them have
gone the long journey" Just lately
a new one has come to life and evil

FRUIT CROP RUINED.
Unanimous Opinion Of HorticuIturists
ut Wichita.

Wichita, June 8-The twenty-ffrst
semi-annual meeting and fruit display
Of the Kansas State Horticultural sccie-
ty is in session here.
This is the second time the society
has held meeting in Wichita, the
first one having been held nineteen
years ago. in 1886
The season was opened by a call to
order by President Major Frank HoI-
singer Prayer was said by Rev. c. S.
Sargent of Plymouth Congregational
church. An address of welcome to the
visitors was delivered by Ex-Governor
". E. Stanley.
The unanimous opinion of all the
delegates is that the fruit crop of this
year is ruined. In an interview with
President Frank Hoisinger that gentle
man stated that the peach crop was ut
terly destroyed while the cherry crop
would scarcely average 10 per cent.
I never saw anything worse in my
life and I have been in the first bust
ness nearly fifty years. said Mr. HoI-
singer. @The crop will not run more
than / per cent and as to apples I do
not know what to say. There will be
a small crop, of course, but in some
sections the loss will not be as heavy
as in others. The frosts nipped the
blossoms and what the frost did not
destroy the rainy spell did. I think
there will be perhaps a little less than
20 per cent Of an average crop of all
apples"
When asked about the strawberry
market he said that it did not pay to
raise strawberries this year He would
not allow his men to pick any more

Three boxes for a quarter made it i'm
possible to make any money out OF
the business in this state.
I fail to see where that much talked
of prosperity is" said Mr.. Holsinger
The facts in the case are that the
people have no money and cannot af-
ford to pay for 1uxuries this year, con-
sequently they are buying sparingly.' -

HE GOT 20 LAsHEs.
Wife Beaten Punished Under Whip
ping Post Law.

Portland. June 8.-The whipping post
law, passed at the session of the legis-
lature January last. was carried into
execution for the first time today upon
Charles McGinty. convicted of wife
beating.
McGinnity was sentenced to receive 20
lashes, the maximum punishment. The
lashing was performed by Jailer Graf
ton under the direction Of Sheriff Thorn
as Word and under supervision of As
sistant County Physician c. c. Nc
Cormaek. The whip was a braided
blacksnake, made of rawhide, with four
lashes. McGinty after receiving the sen
tence was hustled to jail where he was
stripped to the waist, and his manacled
hands tied to a door in the jail corridor
high above his head. The beating was
as severe as the powerful jailer was
capable of administering. Blood was
drawn at the fourth blow from the lash
es McGinty writhed and groaned and
strained at the manacles binding his
wrists. When the punishment had been
concluded McGinnity was released and
a few minutes later left the Jail unas-
sisted.
McGinnity was punished for having
repeatedly struck his frail wife and for
having blackened her eyes because she
refused to pay over to him her earnings
for him to squander.
