department desired was some new
fruits intermediate between the grape
fruit and the orange which would pos
cess desirable market qualities, fruit
having the agreeable acid flavor of the
grape fruit with the bitterness reduced,
and the loose, easily separable rind
Of the mandarin or tangerine orange;
a hardy orange which would endure
the occasional severe frosts which visit
the orange growing sections, and
which, if possible, would be sufficiently
frost proof to be raised further north
than the present citrus belt, and some
fruits having the loose, easily remov-
able rind of the mandarin or tanger-
Inc orange, combined with the quality,
flavor and size of the ordinary sweet
orange.
Having thus decided exactly what
was wanted. the Investigators, who did
not hesitate to usurp the creative func-
ton of nature, began their work by
picking out plants that would serve
suitably as parents. So far as the
first item was concerned, the theoret-
ical part of the problem was not diff
ficult. 1t was a question of crossing
the grape fruit (Which is rather too
bitter and not easily peeled with the
sweetest and most peelable orange in
sight. The tangerine orange filled these
requirements best, and IL was prompt

with the grape fruit as mother, by
transferring pollen from the flowers OF

he escaped into side street and watched the
engines put out the fire, and he swung around
with his trunk and his tusks and wouldn't let
anyone come near him but pa with the hook,
and he seemed to enjoy the prodding, but I
guess that gave him courage to keep on doing
things.
The principal proprietor of the show came
along, and when he saw pa with watermelon
and bluing all over him and perspiration roll
ing down his face, he said to pa: "Why don't
you take your elephant back to the lot cause
the afternoon performance is about to Begin"
and that made pa mad and he said: "You go
on with your afternoon performance and I
will have Bolivar there all right" and then
everybody laughed, but pa knew what he was
about.
Pa dropped his hook and went to hose
cart and took Babcock extinguisher and
strapped it on his back and went up to Boil
var, who was tipping over some dummies in
front of clothing store and pa said: Bolivar,
you lay down" but Bolivar threw seven-dol-
lar suit of clothes at pa and beloved, as much
as to defy pa. Pa turned the cock of the ex-
tinguisher and pointed the nozzle at Bolivar's

OF vastly more Importance than the
"tangelo," however, is the "citrange,"
already mentioned-a newly created
fruit which seems destined to revolu-
tionize the orange growing industry in
the southern states. While most
agreeable in flavor, it is hardy
enough to endure the climate of all the
gulf coast region. There are, in fact,
two citranges, representing distinct
species, which are totally different
from any citrus fruits hitherto known.
One of them is the result of a cross
in which the frost proof japanese or
ange was used as father, while in the
other case it was made to serve as
mother.
The japanese orange in question is
worthless little fruit, though pretty to
look at, only an inch and a half in
diameter and full of seeds. But its
frost proof quality, the experts we'll
knew, would be worth untold millions
of dollars If 1t could be bestowed upon
a satisfactory hybrid. To accomplish
this proved an immensely difficult
task, for while a great many seeming
ly successful crosses were made nearly
all of them turned out false ones
closely resembling either one parent
or the other. but not both. Neverthe-
less the work was patiently pursued,
the idea being that If nothing more
could be accomplished a species Of or
ange might be secured which would
blossom later in spring and thus es-
cape the nip of early frost. Beyond this
II was hoped that a hybrid might be
evolved which would be at once frost
proof and good to eat
The experiments. made at the gov
ernment's sub-tropical garden at
Miami, Fla, were at length wholly
successful. and. as reward. the ex-
perts OF the department of agriculture
now enjoy the pleasure of presenting
to an appreciatve world new group
OF citrus fruits, to which the name
"oitranges" has been given. Though as
yet the group comprises only two fruits
eventually there win be many.
The ''citranges" are about midway
between the two parents. combining

Bolivar was as meek as lamb, and he got UP
with pa on his back and the fire extinguisher
on pas back, and marched back to the tent
through the hole he had made coming out.
They Cheered Pa
Thousands of people followed and cheered
pa, and when they got in the tent pa said to
the principal owner of the show, who had
made fun of him: Here's your elephant and
whenever any of your old animals get on the
warpath and you want4'em rounded up don't
forget my number, cause | can knock the
spots out of any animal except a giraffe" The
crowd cheered pa again and he got down off
the elephant, took off his fire extinguisher and
handed Bolivar piece of rag carpet and said:
Cat it, you old catamaran, or I'll kill you,"
and Bolivar was so scared of pa he eat the car
pet, which shows the power Of brain over
avordupois, pa says.
The regular keeper of Bolivar heard he was
on the rampage, and he came back on the run
to conquer him, after pa had got him back in
the tent, but Bolivar looked at him with a
faraway look in his eyes, as much as to say:
Seems to me l have met you somewhere be-
fore, but new king has been crowned" and

These new orange-tangerines differ

earlier and more highly favored. They
are of brilliant color, and so hand

and Travelled thousand miles. and il seems
as though there is nothing doing but putting
up and taking down tents and going to and
from the cars, and you can't be tough cause
there is always some boss around to tell you
to look pleasant if you are cross, and to tell
you to change your shirt or get out of the
show, and if you swear at anything you are
called down.
Had a Good Time
Pa and put in good deal of time during
the afternoon and evening performances in
the dressing room near the door leading to the
main tent. That is the nearest to being in an
insane asylum of any place / was ever in. The
performers get ready for their several acts in
punches or families all in one spot and they
act serious and jaw each other, and each
bunch acts as though their act was all there
was to the show and if it was cut out for any
reason the show would have to lay up for the
season, when in fact each one is only cog
in the great wheel, and if one cog should slip
the wheel would turn just the same. These
people never smile before they go in the ring,
but just act as though too much depended
on them to crack smile When bunch is
called to go in the ring they all look at each
other as though it was the parting of the ways,
and they clasp hands and go out Of the dress
ing room as though walking on eggs, and
when they get in the ring they look around
to see if all eyes are upon them, and bow to
people who are looking at something going
in another ring and who don't see them,
and then they go through their performance
with everybody looking somewhere else.
Glad It's Over
When the act is over the audience seems
glad and clap hands because they are polite,
and it don't cost anything to clap hands, and
the performers turn some more hiphaps and
go running out to the dressing room and take
peek back into the big tent as though ex-
pecting an encore but the audience has for
gotten them and is looking for the next mess
of performers, and the ones who have just
been in go and lie down on straw and wonder
if they can hit the treasurer for an advance on
their salaries, so they can go to a beer garden
and forget it all.
An average audience never gets its moneys
worth unless some one is hurt doing some dar-
ing act. Pa suggested that they, have sonies
one pretend to be hurt in every act, and have
them picked up and carried out on stretchers
with doctors wearing red crosses on their
arms in attendance giving medicine and re-
storatives. The show tried it at Bucyrus, O.,
and had seven men and two women injured
so they had to be carried out and the audience
went wild and almost mobbed the dressing
room to see the doctors operating on the in
jured. 1t was such great success that next
week we are going to put in an automobile am
bulance and have an operating table in the
dressing room, with gauze screen so the au-
diences can see us cut off legs like they do in
a hospital. Maybe we shall put in dissecting
room if the people seem to demand it.

MAY Owe had the worst time at Akron
last week and pa proved himself hero,
though he was swatted good by the rogue ele-
phant before he got his second wind and
for the animal
We have male elephant that is almost
human, cause he gets on a tear about once
month like regular ugly husband. You can't
tell when his mind is in condition for running
amuck, but suddenly he will whoop like a
drunken man, strike his poor patient wife
over the back with his trunk and grab her tail
and try to pull it out by the roots, and jump up
and crack his heels together like drunken
shoemaker, and below as though he was say
ing he was bad man from Bitter creek.
Well, at Akron the keeper of this elephant,
Bolivar, had to go and see girl that he met
when the show was here last year and settle
case of breach Of promise before justice of
TIE peace, and the boss told pa to look after
the elephant for an hour or so. So pa took
pole with a hook in it and sat down on bale
OF hay to watch Bolivar. 1t was one OF those
hot davs, and Bolivar stood dropping and
perspiring, and wishing the show was in
Alaska, and pa was kind of sleepy, like every
body in the show when suddenly that ele-
phant whooped and swatted Jeanette, his wife,
couple of times and she cries pitifu and pa
put the hook in Bolivar's hide and gave jerk
and told him to hush up that noise but Bolivar
Just reared and pitched and walked right
through the side of the menagere tent and
seemed to say to the other animals: Come
on, boys there is going to be something do
ing" and the animals all set up howl in their
own language as though they were saying:
"Whooper up, old man, and don't let them
monkey with you"
Bolivar Moved Swath
Bolivar went out in the street and moved
a wide swath, with pa after him, hooking him
all the time, but he paid no attention to pa.
He put his head under the side of a street car
loaded with negroes that had come to see the
show, dressed in their Sunday clothes, and
tipped the car over on the side and the negroes
crawled through the windows and went up
town yelling murder, while Bolivar went in
front of grocery store where there was pile
of watermelons and began to throw them at
the people in the street, and the negroes
thought an elephant was not so bad, so they
came back and had feast.
Pa tried to head off Bolivar at the grocery,
but Bolivar took half watermelon and put
the red side on top of pas head and squashed
it down so the seeds and juice and pulp run
down pas shirt and neck, and he looked as
though murder had been committed but pa
wiped his face on his shirt sleeve and showed
game, because he kept mauling Bolivar with
The hook Bolivar broke up millinery store
by throwing tomatoes at the women in the
and he went into yard where a wo-
nan was washing and squirted the bluing
water all over the woman and all over pa, and
hen he chewed the clothes on the line and
lrove the family over the fence.

More Bad Stories About Florida Or
anges.

The Florida orange market was
completely demoralized this week.
Receipts We're heavy and a larg por-
ton OF them We're very wasty, and
much of the remaining fruit was I'M
attractive. Large quantities were Of
fered through the auction, and these
sold at a wide range of prices.
Brown & Seccomb sold 10,500 box
es, including a few boxes of grape
fruit and the Fruit Auction Co, had
three or four carloads of oranges and
grapefruit. The range of prices was
40 cents to $3.50 per box; the lowest
and highest prces, of course, being eX-
treme; but most of the fruit was sac
rificed and did not pay for shipment.
The condition of the oranges was
so bad that a couple of carloads were
disposed of at 80 to 40 cents, respec-
lively. per box, private sale This
fruit. OF course, had an abnormal
amount of rot.
The condition of the Florida Or
angeS was never worse than this
week 4 fairly good demand for fine
fruit of desirable size sprang up to-
wards the close of the week which
gave some encouragement to receiv-
ers. The market is glutted with large
sizes; small fruit is in limited sup
ply and wanted, that is. sound stock.
