lead up to the subject in hand by men

CHAPTER VIII

~ NE morning not long after the
incidents just related Brew
u ster lay in bed staring at the
~ ceiling, deep in thought
There was worried quicker on his
forehead, half hidden by the rumpled
hair, and his eyes were wide and Sleep
less. He had dined at the Drews' the
evening before and had had all awak-
ening AS he thought of the matter he
could recall no special occurrence that
he could really use as evidence Colo
mel and Mrs. Drew had been as kind as
ever, and Barbara could not have been
more charming. But something had
gone wrong, and he had endured a
wretched evening.
"That little English Johnnie was to
blame" he argued. "Of course Barbara
had a right to put any one she liked
next to her, but why she should have
chosen that silly ass is more than
know By Jove! If had been on the
other side I'll warrant his grace would
have been lost in the dust"
His brain was whirling, and for the
w
unpleasant pangs Of jealousy. The
Duke Of Beauchamp he especially dis
liked, although the poor man had hard
ly spoken during the dinner But
Monty could not be reconciled. He
knew, of course, that Barbara had suit

appreciation of chivalry, however in

years UNPUBLISHED, his coarse wit be-
ing aimed at every one who had come
into social prominence. So pungent
men feared him, and there were many
who lived in glass houses in terror Of
a fusillade Brewster's prompt and
sufficient action had checked the per-
nicious attacks, and he became a hero
among men and women. After that
night there was no point to The Cen
sor's pen. Monty's first qualms Of
apprehension were swept away when
Colonel Drew himself hailed him the
morning after the encounter and in
no unmeasured terms congratulated
him upon his achievement, assuring
him that Barbara and Mrs. Drew ap-
proved, although they might lecture
him as matter Of form.
But on this morning as he lay in his
bed Monty was thinking deeply and
painfully. He was confronted by

said, Remember, please, I don't

The baggage crew said they did.
AS the train approached her station,

conductor.
"Don't know" she replied. 'Why

"No, we didn't touch or unite him,

The trunk had to be put off, and so
we threw the dog off with the trunk. -

Fall Prune the Peach.

Mr.. H. M. Stringfellow, writing to
Farm and Ranch, gives some advice
on the subject of pruning peach trees.
AS usual he gives good reasons for
believing that the plan, which he
recommends, is the best.
After the disastrous freeze of last
spring Messrs Sam Dixon, Stanley
Watson and others from time to time
visited the peach orchards of East
Texas and. assured us that though the
crop had been badly damaged the re-
manning peaches would be of extra
bsize and quality, in which opinion we
all concurred Imagine then, the sur

The Green Fruit Question.

-
AS we said last week, the shipment
of green fruit is attracting much notice
from the editors of Our state ex-
changes. The last we have seen is an
item from the Winter Garden Rico
Chef:
About this time every year we are
treated to long articles on the subject
above mentioned We think more i'm
rortance is attached to this matter
than is necessary It is absurd to sup
pose the reputation Of the Florida or
ange is made or lost upon dozen or
two cars of green oranges shipped out
of the state early in the season, in
stead of ten thousand cars of nice
golden sweet oranges shipped later in
the season. If any damage is done,
we are inclined to believe that it does
not extend beyond the man who did
the shipping and the parties who try
to eat them.
It is of vast Importance to the Flo
rida orange shipper that he should
get to work as soon as he can to find
a crop that the trade will accept, and
the reasons are very obvious to man
Of experience Of course, it calls for
the exercise of good Judgment
The Tampa Times says:
The Times is being reinforced in it's
war on the shipment Of green oranges
out of Florida. This practice seems to
be proving worse each year, and it has
already resulted in partially destroying
the reputation of Our fruit. For the
first time in the history of the trade,
the people of California stood up last
year and challenged comparison be-
tween our fruit and theirs. When Our
green, Immature and half rotten stuff
IN the market was compared with the
california ripe and sound stuff which
had been properly gathered and pack
ed, we lost out. A continuation of the
policy Of flooding the market with this
green stuff will simply drive us out
of the markets in four or five years
and deservedly, too Already the Cali
fornia fruit ranks with our own, and it
will not be long till the resulting price
OF our fruit will be so cents on the tree.
A correspondent of the Farmer and
Fruit Grower proposes the most radi-
cal remedy that we have seen suggest
ed. We doubt if it is practical, such
law might be put on the statute.

Want your mOustache or beard
abeautiful brown c, rich black? Use

long as buyers can be found who will
pay fairly good price for green fruit,
just so long will the necessity or the
greed Of the growers flood the market
with unripe oranges and grapefruit.
The only thing that will ever check
the shipment of this trash will be an
order from the city boards of health
condemning it and ordering it dumped.
The letter to the Farmer and Fruit
Grower is as follows:
From the Fort Myers Press of the
18th inst, the Semi Weekly Times
Union takes this: palmetto shipped
the first carload of oranges last week,
but Lee county claims the first carload
of grapefruit to be shipped out of the
state this season." In the same issue
the remarks of Heard & Reynolds.
Arcadia, are pertinent
would like to know why it is that
the people of Florida will permit the
shipping Of immature fruit, both in
growth and ripeness. Why, the fruit
in this section is not near grown to
natural sige and will not be for three Or
four weeks. Is it unconstitutional for
the state legislature to enact a law
prohibiting the shipment OF unripe
fruit? | do not understand why few
individuals should have constitution
al right to do something that is in
furious to large majority, and by so
doing destroy the principal industry of
a whole state If constitutional why
not act, and make the penalty for viola
ton imprisonment only.
If made Imprisonment or fine or
both, the biggest rascal in the pile will
pay his fine then go and do the same
thing, and keep on doing so. But if
the penalty is imprisonment only,
then he will hesitate before he violates
the law. The old saying of Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none is getting stale. The man
who has money to pay his fine violates
the laws with impunity. The man
without money goes to Jail or the
penitentiary. This is not equal rights,
but a violation of equal rights
Let the next legislature go to work
and enact a law making the penalty
imprisonment and the payment of the
costs of court, for the shipment of i'm
mature and unripe fruit, no matter
what process for so-called co1oring and
ripening may be used. Let the fruit
growers petition the legislature to this
effect, and stop such unhealthful, de-
structive practice.
