Peter Kronheim of South Africa. Aus

a spendthrfft with no friend left but his
cousin, Mrs. Ray Wotfc, who row lives at
16 East One Hundred and Thirty-tirst
street. He had been left a fortune By his
father. a Brooklyn tanner. but had dissi-
pated 1t In less than three years. Curl
ously enough, a tanning process of his own
discovery had been instrumental in accu-
mulatinS the fortune, but when he came
into his money he spent 1t with a free
hand and then dropped out of sight.
From time to time his cousin used to

from South Africa or Australia. In every
case his letters contained an appeal for
money. which she never neglected to send.
But having little she could not send much.
Ills last communication was from Jo-
hannesburg, and instead of an appeal It
contained 4 gift of a handsome pearl neck
lace. That was eight years ago. The
letter said he was Il pearl broker in South
Africa and was at last meeting with
moderate success"
Last Sunday a roughly dressed man
called at the Wolfe home. The servant
was afraid to admit him and called Mrs.
Wolfe. who at once recognized her cou-
sin. He refused to come in. but merely
asked If she was willing to help him again.

hat she was. and he left saying that he
might be back again.
He came again Tuesday, roughly clad
as before. and announced that instead of
being penniless he was a millionaire. He
tossed his cousin an envelope, saying:
I've kept track of what you've done for
me all these years. and 1t comes to about
the. Don't open the envelope. Wait till 1
get out"
He left at once after inquiring about a
brother last heard of in Washington
When he had gone the envelope was
opened and found to contain twenty-five
Sl,WS bills. The Wolfe family didn't On
to bed at all. Instead they sat up with
the money until morning. when they
placed 1t in a safe deposit vault with the
pearl necklace.

RASPBERRY CULTURE PROFIT
ABLE,


All things considered raspberries AFRO
really more probably than stray berries
and. so far as insect enemies are con-
cerfcd. are about on II par. The demand
for raspbcrries. both red and black caps
Is FAR ahead OF the supply and the prices
are better In proportion than for straw
berries. AS Il rule under normal condi-
tons raspberry plants need be renewed
not oftcner than every seven or eight
years while 1t Is rarely the case that 4
strawberry bed will be profitable after the
third year. Raspberry plantations are
much more easily cultivated than straw
berry beds and ut Il corresponding less eX-
pense. In sections of the east the black
caps have been few and far between not
because the crop was small owing to light
bearing but because the number of bearing
plants was small. The writer will show
his faith in raspbcrries. located within &C
miles OF n large city. by setting them
literally another planting season. by no
means WI! sc abandon our extensive beds
of Strawberries but will simply extend the
fruit industry by setting more raspberries
rather than more strawberries. Look into
the matter In your section and see what
the opportunities are.

respondents have asked for IL small list OF
shrubs and have invariably requested
that no classes high in price be named.
AS a matter of fact the most desirable
glasses and varieties are among the mod
eratc-in-price so there is really no excuse
for going without them. Here Is Il small
list that VIII give satisfaction anywhere,
which are inexpensive. easy to grow and
readily planted in fall or spring: Hydran-
Eea paniculata grandiflora. Syringa, For
'sythia, Cornus mascula variegata, Spirca

tho varieties of Althea all of which can he

satisfaction and which will furnish plenty
of bloom from spring until late fall az well
as giving much variety in habit of growth
and foliage markings. Send to any of the
nurscrymen whose advertisements you
may see for n catalogue and set out some
OF the sorts named this fall. If one is

why our homes cannot be heated by fur

and when he metes out punishment IL is
usually very summary II was decided
by the players who had elected Algel-
finger that partly for his sake and partly
for the sake of the game Il would be
best to keep the matter a secret.
Only two OF the regular players were
absent when Algeltnger was elected.
These were William Fisher. who had
gone to his home in North Carolina TO
recuperate and Douglas s. Carter. who
was lying in a private hospital suffering
from an injury to his spine Those who

A question that is now troubling the
minds OF the Columbians is what the
president OF the university VIII do when
he hears OF the matter. DIR. Butler left

Jamaica and Cuba. On his return il Is
expected that there will be trouble as
he is unwilling to admit that football ever
