Oranges Seen in Topeka Now
Are Beauties.
NOT LIKE THE OLD.

Poor Quality.
Delicacies to Be Had in Topeka
Markets.

You get your moneys worth
when you buy oranges nowadays They
are not little fellows in the last stages
of dyspepsia but full grown ones with
good complications.
1t wasn't the case 20 years ago or
even a shorter term of years than that.
One of the prominent growers said Sat
urday: sI remember when I was in
business 20 years ago that the oranges
we got in those days were all speckled
and bHghted. They were black with
the blight and not the beauties which
we have today. There was no differ
ence in the price either, they cost just
as much as what we pay for them
now
Fifteen years ago oranges did not
have to undergo the careful scrutiny to
which they are subjected now before
they can be disposed of to the COM
mission houses and shippers prepara-
tory to their disposal to eastern con-
sumers. In the selection of "frsts'' ev-
cry orange which can't come up to the
Venus de Milo requirements is cast
aside. No blemish, however slight be it
IN the form, color or texture can Occu-
by the boxes which are reserved for
the nrSts' and which command the top
prices in the markets. The inferior or
anges are relegated to lesser gradings
but it is safe to say that there is not
al orange QIIeI6Q IoQSly WnlCn IS not
far superior to the best of the oranges
which were displayed for sale in fruit
stalls of Topeka 20 years back.
Competition and the association of
the packing firms which buy up fruit
are possibly most largely responsible
for the encouragement towards better
grading. The growers of California
have also learned from experience how
to cultivate properly their orange
orchards.
Right at the present time the Florida
has the entry on the fruit stands of
Topeka. The Florida season is earlier
than that of California and it will take
several weeks yet before the shipments
will commence to be trained eastward.
Florida oranges are selling in Topeka
now for 80 cents a dozen. They will
disappear as soon as the shipments are
received from the west and the Cali
fornia product will supplant their
eastern rivals. This is not only true
of the western markets but also of
those farther east, even to New York
itself. The severe frosts which have
swept down along the Atlantic coast
and penetrated down into Florida have
done untold injury to the orange groves
and they have not entirely recovered
yet from that blow.
Apples are a luxury. They are in
] fact as dear and dearer than oranges.

Her employer was we'll satisfied with

Berlin. Oct. 2S.-The mystery of a
young woman who for a long time led
double life has just been solved by
the Berlin police. She is &c years of
age, and was formerly employed as a
stewardess on an ocean steamer While
in America she made the acquaintance
of a man, whom she married, but
shortly afterwards he deserted her.
She returned to Europe, and went
to Norway, where she resolved to pass
through life as a man. Dressing her
self in male attire, she obtained en-
ployment in a factory and worked con-
tentedIy for some time. Then the long
ing to see her mother, who resides in
Berlin, seized her, and she returned
to the capital. Here she again dressed
in the garb of woman and has re-
sided since February of the present
year. Three weeks ago she rented a
room in Kastanienallee. There she
had her hair cut off. sold it for six
marks, and again put on male gar
ments. For a week she worked in a
factory. She did not like the labor,
