FOLLY PERSoNIFIED.

The Okapogan socialist who cut
down 20 acres of fruit trees in order
to avoid being assessed on the inn
proved value they gave to his farm
displayed degree of idiocy that will
make him the laughing stock of the
community. His action is the m ost
striking example of that homely old
adage of cutting off his nose to spite
bis face" that has come under obs etv-
alton for long time. The question
ought to,be seriously considered by the
authorities whether he is not fit
subject for an asylum.
While he was about it this man
who does not believe III paying his
fair share of taxes, based ON the pre-
sent system of assessment, ought tC
have burned his house and made 4
bonfire of his other possessions. II
he should choose to carry his dissatis
faction with the established order
of things still further he might end

The street begger with pockets lined
with money is fairly familiar figure
OF city life, but one of the free dis
pensaries reports an instance OF an at
tempt to get free medicine, on the plea
of poverty, that deserves place in
the catalogue of good stories of
graft" We read of middle-aged
woman who appeared the other day
aud got prescription, after which
she took her place in the line OF per-
sous waiting TO have their medici1e
made up by the apothecary. This
particular woman. it should be said,
had given satisfactory answers to all
the questions put to her, designed to
show whether she was proper sub
jeot for charity. Suddenly there was
cry "I'm robbed I'm robbed r.
The victim was this woman, who SO
far forgot her previous professions as
to assert that her pocket had been
picked and that the thief had got
away with 800. Then she lost the
opportunity to got free medicine,

From Maxwell's Talisman, the first
principle in the creed of the Home
crafters is given thus: That children
shall be taught gardening and home
craft in the public schools, from the
Kind ergarten to the college, and that
summer garden schools in the suburbs
shall be a part OF the public school
system of every city, and that home
craft and garden training Schools
shall be established by county, muni-
cipal, state, and national govern
ment, where every boy and every
man out of work who wants employ
ment where he can gain that knowl-
edge, can learn how to make home
and till the soil and get his living
strait from the ground, and where
every boy would be taught that his
first aim in life should be to get a
home Of his own on land.

Some Ranch Talk
{ With Apologies to Wood. J

The --latest mode of transplanting
sage brush sprouts is to wrap the roots
in a wooden cloth, saturated with
sweet milk or a pale brew of An
hauser- Bush. Take the bundle and
bury in the depths of manure heap.
Leave them heat for "a hours. Then
remove the sprouts one at time and
carry them separately across q 40 acre
field to trenches prepared in the usual
way to receive them. Irrigate fire.

evidences of growth. The following
year may be spent in grubbing them
up, raking into windrows and burn

American merchants could do 80
per cent more business in Mexico were
they to study the character and con-
dition of trade in Mexico. The main
trouble with the slow sale Of Ameri-
can merchandise in Mexico is the fact
that the merchants and manufacturers
demand that payment for their goods
be sent upon the receipt of the bill fol-
the same, and this bill arrives q
month in advance of the goods. OF
course, our merchants do not favor the
idea of paying for goods before re-
ceiving them. On the other hand
European merchants are liberal in Civ
ing time limits as high as six months,
and as consequence enjoy good
portion of trade.

One of our eastern exchanges gets
after Senator Fulton with sharp
stick. 1t says Senator Charles w.
Fulton of Oregon, in an interview
given out after his return to Portland,
accused Secretary Hitchcock Of hos
tility to Oregon because all that was
asked for by Oregon interests, in the
way of appropriations from the irriga-
tion fund, had not been granted. OF
course this is nonsense. It is unfortu-
nately true, however, that SO many
of Oregon's prominent citizens have
been caught working schemes of
graft against the government, that the
secretary has been impressed with the
necessity of caution in making invest
ments urged by them. As for SEN
ator Fulton's further assertion that
Secretary Hitchcock is lin his dotage,
the country would be very glad ii the
senator, in the prime Of his manhood,
could give evidence of the same
ability and the same courage for the
right that characterizes the brave old
man whom be traduces."

The propagation of beans requires
scientific knowledge, and only experts
have any business monkeying with
this crop. Careful selection of seed is
the principle factor in the assurance
of large yield, and Yankee should
be employed to piant and harvest the

aud marketable, a pork paekery
should be located on the ranch,
which should be situated within easy
reach of tin mine.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 30,
Birthday Anniversary of Mrs. Mary G
Strout of WOburn, Mass.

Birthday Anniversary of Mrs. Mary G.
Strout of Woburn, Mass.
Mrs. Mary G. Strout celebrated the S9th
anniversary of her birth Monday, April
Goth, at the residence of her son, Oscar L.
Strout, 81 Wendover street, Upham's Cor
ner, Mass. Her four children, Mrs. G. P
Lombard of Belfast, Maine, Mr.. Howard E.
Strout of Brockton, Mr. Charles NJ Strout
of Woburn, and Mr.. Oscar Strout of Dor
chester, all were with her. Mrs. Strout
was born in Durham, Maine, April %, 1917
Her maiden name was Mary Gerrish. She
married Merrill W. Stront of that town and
lived there till 1870, when she moved to Wo-
the evening formal reception was held, a
great many friends calling to congratulate
Mrs. Strout, bringing many presents and a
wealth of flowers, which were banked
around grandfather's clock built in 1902,
which was one of the wedding presents of
Mrs. Strout's mother. Mrs. Strout wore a
black silk dress made entirely by herself.
not use glasses, and can see to thread her
own needles. She came from WOburn to
Dorchester alone, and made seven calls the
day before she left, some mile and a half
away from her home.-Boston Globe.
This write-up is accompanied by an ex-
cellent picture of Mrs. Strout, which her
many friends here could not fail to recOg-
nize. There are some slight inaccures in
the account, as Mrs. Lombard, her only
daughter, was not able to be present, and,
as the cut shows, Mrs. Strout does use
glasses, though her sight is wonderfully
clear. She has spent number OF seasons
at the Lombard cottage on the North Shore,
Northport, where she has been the life and
center of many pleasant gatherings. Many
friends in town, also, are always glad to
hear of Mrs. Strout's arrival for visit at
the home of her daughter in this city; and,
though they be bit tardy, the congratula-
tions of her Belfast acquaintances are none
the less hearty.
