A GarbIed Message.

At the last moment Mr.. Gayley found
he could not attend the garden party
at Miss Fenton's house, and it was, OF
course, imperative that he should send
his regrets, so he summoned Michael,
the family gardener.
"Tell Miss Bessie that l am very
sorry. but business will prevent me
coming" he said.
"Yes, sir" said Michael.
"And-stay a moment" said Gayley'
"Could you remember a line of poet
ry?"
Certainly, sorr."
"Well. tell her, Though lost to sight,
to memory dear
Half an hour later Michael was dellV-
ering his message to Miss Fenton.
.SThe master said it's sorry he Is ne
can't be wild ye," said Michael, and
and. though he's lost his sight, ms
memory's clear. And may l be for.
given for the untruth I'm tellin' ye!

RED-HAIRED WOMAN
CAUSE OF DIVORCE
Mrs. SaIlie Braden Couldn't Stand
Husbands Familiarity With 9th
er Feminine Characters

Mrs. Sallie Braden's nerves were
shocked when her husband talked
about a red-headed woman who made
her home at Stockton, but when he
undertook to discuss the good quail
ties of San Francisco widow she de-
cided to write the word "finis" on the
matrimonial register, and yesterday
she asked Judge York, in the superior
court, to dissolve the alliance which
for fifteen years has served to make
her true and loving wife to w. H.
Braden, the manager of a large manu-
featuring plant at Stockton.
Braden's prolonged discussion on the
question of femininity was not all
that served to wound the heart of Mrs.
Braden, for she declared yesterday
that her husband was much given to
the consumption of alcoholic drinks.
Next to the woman with the auburn
locks, it appears that Braden's al
legged taste for liquor was the act of
misconduct which the feminine side of
the alliance objected to.
Judge York held that some red
headed women are not conducive to

HOW SUCCESS CAME TO THE INVENTOR

Just to show how some people with
OFT money succeed in business let me
tell you a story" said a New York
merchant a few days ago. He was
talking to a reporter who was inter-
viewing him on 1.-The chances for sue
cess in business"
Now here" said the merchant, pick
ing up letter, sis a note from friend
of mine. About year ago he invented
combined rocker and high chair for
babies. He didn't have any money to
push the invention and still he wanted
to keep absolute control of it. 1 told
him then that there was no more
chance of his succeeding than there
was of my falling heir to a fortune.
That didn't worry him bit. He went
around talking to his friends and ask
ing questions until finally some one
told him he had better ask Burrelle."
What does that mean?" questioned
the reporter.
well, that's what the inventor asked
when they told him. But he is a man
that never gets tired asking questions
and he found out that Burrelles is the
largest press-clipping bureau in the
world. He didn't exactly see the con-
nection between his invention and press
clippings. Then, too he lived In
western city and Burrelles place is In
New York. However, he can write let
ters as well as he can ask questions
and he simply sent a letter addressed
'Burrelle, New York. telling him OF his
invention and asking what could be
done. AS a result of that letter, Bur-
relle is now sending my friend the
name of every child born throughout
America. This information costs him
very little and puts him in touch with
every mother In the country. Then he
simply sends a circular and as he has
a good thing he is selling 1t by the ton.
After L heard of his success L went on
a little tour of my own to see Burrelle
and have found out that Burrelle can
get customers in a new way for any
sort of business. So, when you talk
to me about the chances of success In

ASK CITY TO PAY
FOR THEIR LIGHTS
SPRING STREET MERCHANTS
WOULD RIVAL BROADWAY
counellnen, Mayor and Improvement
Association Members Lunch
and Plan Illuminating
System

A quorum of the council, chaperoned
by the mayor and the Spring Street
Improvement association got together
informally and discussed the question
of the proposed streets lights for Spring
street at a quiet little lunch yesterday
at the Jonathan club.
The proposition which is interesting
the Spring street association is what
is to become of its petition to have an
assessment district established, as pro-
vided for in law passed by the last
legislature, taking in Spring street
from Temple to its junction with Main,
and then Main street from this point
south to its junction with Broadway.
The association has already adopted
a unique design for a lamp which, in
the opinion of experts, will not only be
satisfactory in every other way but
will in addition be extremely attrac-
tive and rival the Broadway lights.
They proposed to pay for the poles
and lights, raising the money by the
assessment district law, the same as
street improvements are made and
paid for, and the lights when erected
will belong to the city.
Property Owners Want Lights
The Spring street property owners
believe they have the same rights and
should receive the same consideration
as the Broadway real estate holders
did. and therefore expect the city to
pay for lighting the ornamental lights,
Just as it is doing in the case Of Broad
way, and in this opinion it is believed
the council agrees with them.
That the lights would be a great ad-
vantage and attraction to the city can
not be doubted, but it is a question
under the new law as to whether the
city should pay for such lighting.
The council will be asked to begin
legislation Immediately in regard to
taking the preliminary steps toward
.he establishment of the assessment
district as specified. This action may
take some time and the other ques-
tions can be settled later. The i'm
provement association is especially
anxious to get the improvement
started.
When the city attorney was asked
for an opinion on the subject yester-
day he said: "The law was drawn in
order that persons living in districts
rot sufficiently lighted could. by secur-
ing a majority of the property owners
to sign a petition, secure lights there
under the assessment law. The assess
ment district would then be laid out
and the assessments collected, after
which the lights would be installed and
lighted at the expense of the assess
ment district which received the bene-
fit.
1.-THE law was not drawn for cases of
this kind, and 1 do not see why the
city should pay for the fancy lights on
Spring street"

SOIL FOR FRUIT TREES.
The Kind Best Adapted for the Growth
Of the Plum-Well-Drained
Soil Needed.

ri
Prof. F. A. Waugh says: The notion
used to be that plums preferred a
heavy, clay soil. This is still true for
certain classes of plums. particularly
the Domesticas and Damsons; but some
other plums thrive in other soils, SO that
by choosing the varieties best adapted
to particular situations plums may be
grown almost anywhere.
Even light, sandy soils are suitable
to the japanese varieties and some hy-
brids. Taking all kinds of plums to-
gether, the best soil is that which would
be suitable for appless sand the general
rule regarding apples is that they will
thrive on any soil well suited to pota-
toes. A loose. deep, gravelly soil, with
an open subsoil, is the best for all or
cha-d trees in this climate.
This is what should be chosen where
it Is available. Where it cannot be had
almost any soil will do. providing only
that 1t is well drained It must not
hold water either in summer or winter.
II 1t is inclined to do so. it must be thor
oughly drained, preferably by closed
stone or tile underdrains, before the
trees are planted

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Give the asparagus beetles frequent
doses OF paris green; they like it.
Cast not good seed into poor soil;
neither cast poor seed into good soil.
Don't use house paint, axle grease,
tar and such materials on the tree
trunks
The greatest mistake in a garden is
crOwding. which makes everything
grow small and spindling.
Sprinkle wood ashes over the cucum-
ber and melon vines while the dew Is
on, and the bugs will let them alone
It is best to go over the squash and
pumpkin vines at this season, and cut
out all long, rank runners and all poor,
sickly-l looking fruit. This will send the
strength into the remainder, and is es-
pecially valuable where large specimens
are desired.

A large portion Of the impurities
which find their way into milk are

fore milking, more or less loose hair
and dirt falls into the milk pail. This

and then washing and drying the.

Stockmen that have large farms

It to their advantage to have separate

over the plants before they begin to
spread. The shoots as they become
heavy with fruit fall over against the
sides OF the rack and are prevented from
coming in contact with the earth. For
a kitchen garden where but few plants
are grown this is very satisfactory
plan. The plants can be set somewhat
closer than is the case where no sup
ports are provided For commercial
however, the cost OF the
frames is prohibitive. The common
commercial practice is to place the
plants about four feet apart each way
in check rows SO as to allow them to be
cultivated in both directions. Under
intensive cultivation in small garden,
however, the first method, that of tying
the vines to stakes, will be found very
satisfactory.
