Laws for Fruit Growers.

Orchardists in Tasmania are subject
to fine of from $3.50 to $500, with
costs. If they fail to bandage their
trees to keep down the coddling moth,
or II they fail to gather and destroy
any infested fruit. Wormy apples sent

destruction, and the shipper can be
prosecuted. In New South Wales all
infested fruit coming from other col
onies may be seized or destroyed, or
returned to the shipper at his own
expense. Fruit growers are generally
assisting the government in enforcing
these laws Similar laws in this coun-
try for few years would see q hard

country If they were strictly enforced.

Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics.


One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. It can, be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Pernna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
. multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.

What's in this bag?" He felt of it.
"Peanutsl" he exclaimed in ecstasy. Il
wonder if they would spoil my dinner?
| III risk it
He sat down on the step-ladder and
gave himself up to the joy of peanuts.
There came a knock on the door at this
point; but the child was reveling in fancy
and paid no attention. But an impor-
tunate knock rudely reused him from his
rapturous dreams "Well, why don't you
come in?" he yelled
There came through the door a vision
in velvet and furs and lace, a vision with
blue eyes, pink cheeks and prematurely
white hair browning young sad face.
Bobby's knowledge of women was
| limited to Bridget, who washed for the
miners, and Flossie and Tessie, two
| dance-house girls who had tried to shield
| him from the blows of Dutch Pete. But
/ this woman, this beautiful vision, was
of a world apart. He gaped admiringly
at his visitor, who stood staring at him.
what is your name?" he heard her
ask. Her voice struck some strange
response in the childs mind He put
his hand up to the chain around his
throat as he replied: Bobby Stuart
The woman sank back in a chair and
closed her eyes. Bobby went down the
ladder. g Are you sick, ma ann" he gently
asked. "I'll get you some water.
Dear little boy" she said as she re-
turned the glass, " am so disappointed!

quired Bobby.
Il lost him many years ago when he
was such a tiny chap" her voice
shook" and I've looked and looked ever
since. l traced him across the continent
and finally to Red Hot Camp, away over
the mountains yonder."
Bobby looked at her curiously. YES,
l know that camp" he said gravely.
Il found that his father died there
and that he went to live with man they
call Dutch Pete"
Bobby gave great start. He went
step or two nearer her. His hand still
chung to the chain about his neck.
He is a very cruel man, | should
judge" continued Bobby's guest.
He is no good on earth!' interrupted
Bobby.
My boy ran away from this person,
and l was told came over the mountain
trail in the dead of winter alone" She
stopped. Bobby stared as if hypnotized.
They said kind-hearted miner took
him in and sheltered him"
What was your boys manner" asked
Bobby in queer voice.
Bobby Churchill, said the woman,
wiping away her tears.
The boy came close to her and looked
steadily at her. But thought-you
were dead" he whispered. "He-said
! -you-were-"
He? Who?"

"Who-who are you?"

Santa Claus moved slowly forward like
one in a dream. He put the turkey on
the table and mechanically handed the
sled to Bobby, who shrieked with delight
as he bounced upon it.
