 Uncle Alex Sigman has in his yard somewhat of curiosity in the shape VI aA WIIlCD btdlS HUH different varieties of apples, viz Ben Davis, Mammoth Blacktwig Red June and some other variety the name of which the writer does not remember. The Ben Davis and Mammoth Blacktwig are good speci- mems of their variety. This tree bears history Of it's own. The seeds from which this tree sprang was brought from Texas in big yellow sweet apple which was gathered from a seeding tree which had sprung up Tn fence corner and how it came there probably no one knows. This apple was eaten by Uncle Alex Sig man and his wife and as it was such fine apple the seeds of 1t were saved and Mrs. sigman, hopeful that from some of these seeds might spring tree which would bear fruit similar to this apple, she planted the seed near the front yard fence But con. trary to expectations it sprang up and made beautiful tree, but when 1t be- gun to bear It bore a little knotty bitter apple the hogs would not eat. Then Uncle Alex climbed up the tree and set under the bark of some water sprouts buds If the f0rendmed varie- ties and turned the growth ot the tree into these buds by cutting off the other limbs until he acquired the above results.

Shops for Hereford.

The citizens of Hereford have,
this week, closed a deal with John
h. Ransom, a capitalist and rail
way promoter of Boulder, Colorado,
for an extension of the Rock Island
from the coal mines of Colorado,
via Hereford, to the town of Sweet
water on the Texas Pacific.
Mr.. Ransom'S proposition, &C
cepted by Hereford, covers the
right-of-way through Deaf Smith
county, depot, machine shops and
round house sites and $4,000 in
cash This much Hereford by
written contract, valid in law, has
bound herself to give, receiving IN
exchange therefor or to receive,
within a limited time, the railroad
as stated, division and machine
shops.
The people of Hereford seem per-
fectIy satisfied that Mr.. RanSom's
proposition is bona fde and that he
is in position to carry out his end
of this contract and The News
hopes, for Hereford'S good, that
such is the case. The News wants
to see Hereford grow and prosper
and in this friendly feeling it feels
sure that Canyon City people join.

Fine Ca ndies-Best in town

ly were hardly surpassed In later and
more pretentious courts. There was an
indescribable quality about these early
administrations of law and equity that
somehow make them Of untold interest
to-day.
Abraham Lincoln appeared In the
Sangamon County about 1881 and the
broad footprints he left during his so.
1ourn of thirty years may easily be
followed. For six years he was, by
turns, clerk In country store, mer-
chant, soldier, postmaster, student, ora
tor, and last full-hedged lawyer. Bit
by bit, as the artist designs a choice
mosaic, this man was developing a
character whose bold outlines were to
stand out, an Illuminating beacon to
all mankind. In 1887 Lincoln became
citizen of Springfield and began the
practice of law. He was elected the
same year to represent Sangamon Coun-
ty In the legislature, and was also at
the head Of a project to remove the
capital from Vandalia to Springfield
As every other town in the State was
DESTROYS of the same distinction the
scheme seemed doubtful of realization !;
nevertheless 1t was accomplished.
While the delegates In convention as
sembled were here and there discussing
merits among themselves, Lincoln gain
ed the floor and called for a vote of
those In favor of the removal of the
capital from Vandalia. There was but
one dissenting vote-vandalia's. Then,
without delay, or discussion, he called
for the vote desiring to remove the cap
ital to Springfield. He was answered
by such a majority as gave the legls-
lature the prompt duty of passing a
bill for the removal, and thus Spring
field carried off the prize, as some rus
tic beauty has been known to do In a
social contest where dozen bellies were
concerned.
The pleasant hunting ground of John
Kelly became in those sixteen years a
capital destined to be the guardian of
those sacred treasures of our Nation,
the haunts, the home, and the tomb of
the illustrious Lincoln.-L. K. Becker,

Diet.

In much that Is written concerning
the matter Of diet there are so many
sweeping statements, impossible rules
ana foolish conclusions that it is no
wonder that many persons brush the
whole subject aside as being too COM
pick for them.
The trouble Is that there are too
many persons trying to enforce their
own personal Ideas on this subject.
There are the "cranks" who must have
something to be cranky about in any
case, and crank" who has picked
up little scientific jargon and thinks
he has cured himself of something Is
very persistent person. Then there
are those who have really been cured
OF some ailment by diet that happens
TO suit their own individual cases. They
go about forever afterward finding the
same ailment In everyone they meet and
Offering the same remedy. There are
also the one-food people, who go about
seeking what not to devour, and who
would reduce every one to whole wheat
or pecans.
Whole wheat and pecans are excel
Int foods and do much good, but SO
do black heart cherries, Holsters and
corned beef and cabbage. If John dis
covers that he has a nightmare every
time he eats lobster he does well to
renounce that dish, but he need not re-
nounce 1t because Dick has the night
mare
Again, one hears much Of the good
Judgment displayed by those persons
who rest for at least half an hour aft
er eating, and it would, undoubtedly,
be well If the world were SO arranged
that we could all do So but unfortun-
ately the business of the day rushes
along, and most persons, at least I'M
til they come to their evening meal.
must go to work as soon as they have
eaten.
1t Is true that this fact constitutes a
strong plea for light and easily digested
meals In the daytime, leaving the prin-
cipal one till the work Is finished.
1t Is absurd for persons who have
not made themselves somewhat famil-
lar with the chemistry Of foods to try
to talk learnedly about their action on
the human economy, and it may be
taken as an axiom that within the in
dividual capacity (Which can be learned
only by individual EXPERIMENT. a va
riety Of diet is better than a monotony.
A diet that is too strictly limited to
few things trains the stomach to
adapt Itself to those few, and 1t is In
danger Of losing Its power to digest
outside Of that list-Youth's Compan-
lon.

JAPANIZATION OF CHINA.

Mfkndo Planning to Strengthen In.
huence on the Continent.
Japan's victory in her war with China
In 1S94-6 procured for her indemnity
In money, the cession Of Formosa and
the prestige of success, which was i'm
mense, says the World To-Day. From
that time on Japan has been strengthen
Ing her army and navy against Russia
with the object which has been
achieved. While at the same time China
has been cultivated with a keen appre-
citation Of the fact that without the
moral, II not the material, coutrol of
that country, Japan could not alone
accomplish the task she had assumed
Of directing the destinies of the Orient.
Japan has undertaken the Japaniza-
ton OF China methodically by the es-
adjustment In China and japan of
schools-military, industrial and agri-
cultural Recently twenty-five primary
schools were opened In the Chinese
provinces, with 1894 scholars.
-Four of these schools are military.
at Paoling, Outchan, Marking and Can
ton, and are modelled after st. Cyr in
France. The instructors are japanese
or Chinese educated In Japan. The
school at Canton Is administered by
japanese entirely. Every year 700
young Chinese, graduates of the schools
in Japan, are assigned with rank to
the provincial army. The student grad
yates are all exalted and imbued with
new japanese ideas. Actually there
are $500 Chinese students In the
schools and universities of Japan. The
military mandarin, once a low-grade
and despised officer, is now elevated and
honored. The literary class, heretofore
the special guardians of the honor and
dignity Of China, now recognize the
Importance, even necessity, of organic
Ing a national army, solid and united.
capable of compelling respect for the
interests and dignity of the empire.

Take Babies to Polls.

When the various provinces of Aus.
tralia were federated into one com.
monwealth and the federal franchise
was given to women the newspapers
were greatly concerned as to what
would become of the babies while their
mothers were out voting, says the New
York Tribune.
They never thought how the babies
were getting on on the 1854 other DAYS
of the year." said Miss Alice Henry of
Australia to the New York Equal Suf.
frage Association, at the Hotel Aston,
but their possible fate on that one day
out Of 865 seemed to give them great
concern.
"But the matter settled itself very
simply. We found, on the first day
when we enjoyed the federal franchise,
that there were plenty of women politi
clans ready to stay with the babies
while their mothers went out and yot-
ed. They were organized and detailed
for that very purpose But many of
the mothers did not think 1t necessary
to avail themselves Of such services,
for there was no law against taking
the babies to the polls myself saw
perambulators going down the streets
by the dozen on election day and some
women actually marked their ballots
with their babies Growing and gurgling
In their arms"

THE FARMER TO BLAME.
If His Land Suffers from Drouth or
Lacks Water for Irrigating When
Small Stream Is Nearby Says
Robert Washburn.


1t is the farmers own fault, if, in
these days of scientific discovery, he
does not reap all the returns he should
from his land, be it located wherever
or however it may, in or without the
rain belt, 80 long as there is a small
stream with slight fall nearby ;"
Such was the remark the other day OF
Mr.. Robert Washburn, a man of wide
experience in agriculture. horticulture
and individual irrigation enterprises
throughout the great Pacific Northwest,
being at present an extensive owner
and operator of Rogue river land.
Devastation to crops as a result of
droughts and barrenness of land from
lack OF water are two evils that can
easily be overcome" continued Mr..
Washburn, "if the flow of little
stream is only utilized by any one of
the modern mechanical devices now be-
ing made for just such work and al
ready accomplishing for many the de-
sired results. The simplest and most
inexpensive of these devices for elevat-
ing the water OF a stream to higher
level is, perhaps the hydraulic ram.
It is self-pumping engine that is rap
idly fulfilling the need of the farmer
and small irrigationist for a sure
scheme of getting out of their land all
those bountiful returns yielded where
water is plentiful"
