A Butting Property.

William Jennings Bryan tells the fol-
lowing story on himself:
Once out in Nebraska, I went to pro-
test against my real estate assessment,
and one OF the things OF which | par
ticularly complained was assessing a goat
at S2s. | claimed a goat was no real
property in the legal sense of the word,
and should not be assessed. One of the
assessors, very pleasant faced old man,
obliglngly said | could go upstairs with
him, and together we would go over the
rules and regulations and see what could
be done.
We looked over the rules, and finally
the old man asked:
Does your goat run loose on the
roads,
Well, sometimes said !, wondering
what the penalty was for that dreadful
offence
Does he butt?' again queried the old
man
Yes, answered, he butts
Well said the old man, looking at
me, this rule says-tax all that certain
property running and abutting on the
highway | don't see how | can do any
thing tor you. Good-day, sir

crease as the season advances. The de-
sign here illustrated is one of the pret-
test ye. shown. 1t is collarless, and fitted
to shape to the figure, and has the popu-
lar elbow sleeve. 1t is delightful model
for separate coat of black or colored tat
teta, or as part of a costume. When
made OF linen or Shantung silks it is
usually left unlined Many are wearing
white linen Eton coats this season. They
supply all the demand for wrap that
can be easily carried or worn and as
less bulky and warm than the longer

generally worn. The pattern No. 2ooS is

One thing is entirely overlooked in
these schemes. Many of the men who
are buying these ready-made orchards
at such high prices are business and
professional men in Seattle and other
cities. Now, l know that no man can
run an orchard at long range. 1t re.
quires the personal supervision of an
experienced owner to make it pay.
You can not depend on renters or
hired help unless you can give it your
personal attention. If | were not afraid
of gaining the everlasting i'll will of
q certain prominent professional man
il Seattle l would like to refer some
of these inquirers to him. He can
tell how it goes in running an orch
ard two hundred miles away when he
could scarcely visit it once a year
and then only long enough to see that
it was going the wrong way. 1t is
true that l have 12O acres in fruit in
the Yakima valley. But 1 have two
married sons who live on this fruit
ranch and they are trained to the
business. If it were not for their help
| would have to stay on the ranch or
give up the effort and sell out. AS it
is, sometimes l spend weeks there
managing and giving advice. A man
might just as we'll expect to carry on
some business in the city and spend
most of his time in his orchard, as to
expect success when it is worked the
other way.

Then on a young orchard a man
may have no pests whereas in few
years he may have to fight the scale
by spraying every spring with the
lime-sulphur wash and may have to
spray five times each summer to con-
troll the cooling moth and then may
lose part of his crop. The blight may
be carried to his pear trees and he
may lose them entirely. Some years
a freeze at blooming time may shorten
his crop so that he will do well TO
get out with his expenses paid. To
make any one believe that he can have
the same crop every year and can
sell at the same price is to deceive
