Real Forbidden Emit

In some countries there grows a
kind of fruit belonging to the shaddock
family and which is commonly called
forbidden fruit" 1t is similar to
grape fruit, but is larger, and the inside
is somewhat coarser than the delicious
acid delicacy of which we are so fond.
The name forbidden fruit was given
on account of three dark brown stains,
like finger marks, which invariably
show on this variety of the shaddock.
The stains are close together on one
side and are believed to be the marks
of Ewes fingers left as a brand on
the apple whose eating caused 50 much
trouble in the world. Forbidden fruit
IS much liked by people who are able
to get 1t fresh, but so far 1t has not
been shipped abroad as extensively as
its cousins, the grape fruit and shad-
dock.-New York Herald.

LEGEND OF THE BOUNTY.
4 British Brig Whose Ghost Sill Sails
the South Seas.

the South Seas.
So famous has become the Flying
Dutchman and the story of the punish
ment visited for impiety upon her cap
tain that the yarn has oyershadowed
Vlany others equally good. There Is,
iot instance, the tale still told In the
atoils of the south seas concerning the
brig Bounty, of mutiny fame, which.
for dramatic intenseness, far out
weighs it.
AS a tale of adventure few, If any,
stories of real life can exceed in tragic
detail the story Of the mutiny of the
British brig of war Bounty Her men,
disheartened and oppressed by tyran-
nical captain set upon their officers
and, numbering some, set the rest
afloat in open boats. Then the mutt
neers sailed to a deserted island, first
taking unto themselves wives of the
daughters of the islanders, and their
descendants still live on rocky island
In the south Pacific. For years after
the mutiny the whereabouts of the
ship and her crew was unknown, and
she was supposed to have foundered
at sea. Naturally stories, weaving
themselves from the phantasmagoria
of the sea- were told concerning her
at the wharves where seamen congre-
gated and finally crystallized into one
grewsome yarn which might have
served Coleridge as the framework for
his rhine of the Ancient Mariner.
ANY old whaler in Frisco can tell the
lend which is the white mans con-

Ancient Mariner, comes sweeping down

though she had come in physical con-
tact with the thing that had been her
idol and who had become a loathsome.

Then her thoughts softened. Her
visitor had been right. Sam had been

tive men with whom he lived They

their future-and disappointment had
taken the heart out of him.
A dreamer, men called him; a vision
airy, who preferred the pen to the plow
1t was for this reason that her father
had withheld his consent and had fore
ed her into hateful marriage with
Condor.
She sat with idle hands staring across
the fields. with eyes that pierced the
veil Of years. Her eyes were dry. Her
tears were long since shed, but the old
wound bled afresh.
For years her heart had been as a
stone within her breast, but now 1t
softened under the influence of her
grief The sinking sun shot its beams
slantwise across the porch and warmed
afresh her benumbed sensation. At last
she stirred.

The porch was pleasant place in the
quiet of the summer afternoon. Mrs
Condor rocked slowly back and forth,
pausing now and then in her sewing to
look across the broad acres to the
wooded patch on the ridge that marked
the horizon. 1t was all hers, the rich
est farm In Liscom county, and yet she
sighed softly as she took up her work
again.
Mar Mrs. Condor looked up with
a start. Her thoughts had been far
back in the past when she was young
and as pretty as the girlish figure that
stood In the doorway.
Henry Griswold is coming to see
you this afternoon" went on the girl.
''He wants to ask you-for me-"
With cheeks aflame she leaned for
ward and buried her face on the elder
woman's shoulder. Mrs. Condor push
ed her gently away and the gaunt,
tired face grew hard.
Does Hank Griswold want to marry
you or the farm?" she demanded blunt

For moment the girl paused rebel
liously, but habit was stronger than
this new mutinous feeling, and slowly
she went inside. Mrs. Condor picked
up her sewing again, but her hands
lay idle in her lap, and tired eyes look
ed out across the fields. She had paid
a bitter price for those broad acres,

his tiny farm, should never be their

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 4.-King
Frederick of Denmark is engaged
in a fine royal rumpus with the
kaiser over the part played by the
garter of the bride in all German
royal weddings.
King Frederick's daughter, Prin-
cess Degmar, is shortly to marry
the kaiser's favorite son, Prince
Adelbert, and the Danish monarch
declares that his daughter shall
not follow the German custom of
removing her garter and distribut-
ing 1t in bits to the guests at the
marriage ceremony.
Frederick has written a strongly
worded letter to the kaiser calling
the custom "barbarously indeli-
cate" and expressing surprise that
the kaiser should countenance an
ordeal so lacking in taste. The
kaiser has replied that for centur-
les the custom has continued, and
has never before been criticised.
He has told King Frederick that

be considered indicate. The

If it can be proven that bruce
really died in 1864, the case of the
present claimant falls to the
ground. The bruce company de-
clares that bruce did not die, but
that his name was used in mock
burial. Many people declare they
saw the man known as bruce later
than 1864, while it is a fact that
no death certificate was issued and
no declaration was made of the
ownership of the vault in High
gate cemetery, where the inter
ment took place. The bruce COM

LA WSON PROPOSES REMEDY

Thomas w. Lawson has issued a
long public statement, addressed to
Pres. Roosevelt, in which he gives
his views on the present financial
condition, the cause of it and his
"cure,' which he asserts will re-
store public confidence and place
the blame where it really belongs.
The statement contains at the
opening a set of 20 items of infor
nation, in which Lawson charges
that the system" Is responsible,
and that it is now planning the
downfall of the president by fore
ing him into an untenable position
He declares that the people of the
country will demand the reelection
of Roosevelt, and that the "sys-
tenn wishing to defeat this, has
decided upon a wholesale discharge
of labor. and will give as a reason
their inability to finance business
because of the lack of confidence
which the president has caused by
reckless acts and talk
He declares that the System"
was forced to ask his cooperation
and reveal its plan to him upon his
own terms. He says that the "sys-
tenn has loaded up the bands and
trust companies with worthless, or
partially worthless, securities and
Is compelling banks to carry them,
but that the disaster, which can
only be delayed by the new cur
rency move under consideration,
will 'Ge all the greater when it does
come. as it surely will. The peo-
pie will demand to know exac:
conditions, he asserts, and inn
mense sums will be withdrawn
from the savings banks when the
go days rule against Withdrawals
expires.
In the third part of his state
ment Mr.. Lawson cites several in
stances in support of his charges.
One of these is that on the sec
Ond day of the panic $15000,000 in
currency was taken from con-
sentative New York bank to a
trust company and paid out to de-
positors in one day.
Toward the end Of his statement
ne gives his cure" which he de-
clares is the only way to restore
confidence. 1t is as follows:

! the assumption of these losses now
by those who are morally respons-

if not, by those legally responsible

There is but one practical way
for this to be done, and that way
is for you, the one man in whose

people of Europe have unbounded
confidence, to appoint. in your ca

ly for public opinion will over
whelmingly support you in such a
move-a board or committee of five
or six men of unQuestiOned char
acter and intelligence, such men
as Gov. Hughes of New York and
Gov. Johnson of Minnesota, and
+, have these men at once hold public
: court on two questions;
First, the actual condition of the
great banks and trust companies
of the country; and, second, wheth-
er the controllers of the great in
stitutions, such as railroads, steel
trusts, Amalgamated copper trusts,
. beef trusts, etc, and which are
/ owned, not by the few, but by many
hundreds of thousands of investors,
shall turn over such control to new
boards composed of representative,
public spirited men.
IF those controllers whom your
beard will certify should be dis
missed refuse to resign they will
| be deposed by the courts on the
evidence submitted by your board
or dismissed by the stockholders of
the corporation. and the substitutes
recommended by your board will
be at once put in control"
This course, Lawson argues, will
not only be of vast benefit to the
people but to the honest bankers
and capitalists who, he says, are
vastly in the majority but are now
