American Diner in Paris Restau-

In Leaving Portion of Fine
Fruit as Guerdon.

Roland Morrill, of Benton Harbor,
Mich, has a peach orchard of 5000
acres in Texas. This is probably the
largest peach orchard in the world.
When l went to Texas Mr.. Nor
rill said recently, "they raised only
cotton there. But soon found that
peaches as fine as CALIFORNIA; could
be grown in Texas, where they would
ripen nearly month ahead of all 9th
ers. and accordingly l went in for
Texas peach-growing, and my fruit
fetches the highest price on the mar
ket. So rare are peaches when mine
appear that they command a rate al
most as high as fruit brings in Paris
The best and also the costliest fruit in
the world is to be found in the Paris
ian restaurants. I know a man who
lunched at the Cafe de la Prix one fall
day and noticed with surprise some
superb strawberries on sideboard.

When Cleopatra Lived and Reiened

Who lolled upon the deck and shamed
The naughty sun that famed.
The languid air was like kiss
On lips enchanted in sleep.
A 1anguor full of heavy bliss
Around the barge a-sweep.
And art and nature were in tune
And all the world was noon.
Along Egyptian skies
The silken barge to urge
Beneath the twinkling eyes
That semmed the vaulted tent Of blue

But still they swear the yellow Nile

Result of the Memorable ERUPTION
of May. 1902 Prof. Heilprin
Deeply Impressed by Its Ap-
pearAnce.

Prof. Angelo Heilprin has written
monograph on that remarkable freak
OF nature, the tower which appeared
on Mont Pelee after the famous erup-
ton of that volcano. The outbreak of
Mont Pelee and the obliteration of st.
Pierre, Martinique, occurred in MAY
1902. In a little more than year
thereafter the volcano had formed a
new cone, through the apex of which
it had pushed what Mr.. Heilprin calls
tower. This was "a gigantic core
of rock, nearly 1000 feet in height at
the time of its greatest development
and $50 to 500 feet thick at it's base
The cone and the tower were about
1850 feet high and the apex of the
latter was 5000 feet above the sea.
OF it's appearance Mr.. Heilprin writes:

Deserted Bride.

This is the second season of that
powerful melodramatie success, en-
titled "A Deserted Bride" So far
it has repeated its last seasons bus
iness, crowding the theatres to their
utmost capacity. Surely there must
be a reason for such large audiences.
The secret of its great success
lies in the fact that both the author
aud manager have put forth their
best efforts to please and supply the
demands Of amelodrsma-loving pub
lie. Fhe box office returns show the
wisdom of their judgment.
This is pure American play de-
picting love and pathos, hate and
passion, a play that troubles the
heart. There is one way, and only
way, to appreciate this great play,
and that is to see it. For nearly
three hours intense dramatic scenes
and many laugh provoking comPli-
cations follow each other in rapid
succession. An unequalled company
of artists has been engaged, each
one for his or her special character,
and a wealth OF beautiful scenery,
startling mechanical effects and mys-
terious electrical devices, has been
provided. "a Deserted Bride" will

Value Of Sugar Beet Growing.

It has been estimated that the
farmers in the country about Gree
10y have planted $4,000 acres Of
of sugar beets, from which they they
expect to gather 100000 tons Of
beets, worth in the aggregate ST.
100000.
Although the estimated yield per
acre seems to be smaller than one
would look for in the vicinity Of
Greeley, it is q notable fact that
crop of such recent introduction
should be worth to the farmers Of
one section of the state so large .
sum a. . million dollars. Undoubt-
edly the area devoted to beets could
be greatly enlarged, thus adding to
the revenues of the community.
Sugar beet growing belongs to the
class Of what is called intensive
farming, admitting Of the cultivation
of but q small area by each farmer.
and thus opening the way for the
maintenance Of a large population.
It is by this means that the iIrig sted
area Of the state may be put to the
highest and most profitable use, not
exclusively IN the production of beets
but in the cultivation of that and
other crops which require close at
tention.
It should be considered that it is
but little over five years since the
production Of beet sugar was begun
in practical way in this state. The
industry is comparatively new to
Colorado agriculture, and yet it has
made such rapid progress that it has
become in some locacities the chief
factor of prosperity.
