The New York correspondent Of the
Chicago Packer, writing under date
of November IS. said Somebody is
losing an awful lot Of money on the
boxed Oregon apples which have been
selling here at auction for the past
two weeks. Oregon apples that cost
$1.75 at conservative estimate at
shipping station have sold here at
from SOC to 81 30 per box. Some
fruit sold as low as 70 cents. A good
apple, each wrapped in paper. sold at
t1.25 per box at the auction sale.
Nearly every sale of western boxed
apples has shown extremely heavy
losses.
THE slump is attributed to inan-
cial conditions solely, as the statisti-
cal position OF the American apple
market is very good. The government
report gives the percentage of the ap.
pie crop of the country as 32. com.
pared with 69.1 a year ago; Az for
1905, with 10 year average of so. 8.
According TO this report there are
less than half as many apples today
as there were this time year ago.

SUNSET IN SPRING.

A sea of molten glass-the western
skies
Seem shot with fire.
Tc peer beyond, ere sunlit splendor
dies,
We would aspire.
Our vision may not pierce that cur
tain frail,
Yet Fancy loves to lift its crimson
veil.
The stars swing from Nights over
arching dome,
Calm, silent friends;
They draw our earth-pent spirits
nearer home,
Where longing ends.
We may not touch those shining
Spheres of light,
And yet by them we steer our course
Alright.
Beyond the sunset-aye, beyond the
stars
Some dawr will glide
And, in the light no mist of error
mars.
Be satisfied
To find the ideals we have striven
for here
Are dreams no more! Realities ap-
pear.

MAKING MONEY BY THE CLOCK,

1t has been figured out by the statis-
ticians that Mr.. Rockefeller grows
$1.90 richer every time the clock
ticks. Some men who care for money
might be tempted to oil the clock and
make it tick faster, but Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter isn't that kind of man.
Rumor hath it, too, that he can buy
his oil at wholesale rates, but that
doesn't tempt him. At his age his
wants are simple and he knows that at
$1.90 a tick he can get everything he
wants without having to buy anything
on tick.
Suppose he did happen TO see some
thing that he wanted and found him
self about $40 short. All he would
have to do would be to fool around
five or six minutes pretending to in
vestigate its merits and at the end of
that time he would have made enough
so that he could safely tell the clerk to
wrap 1t up.
However, it may have been in his
younger days, Mr.. Rockefeller does
not now find 1t Improbable to watch
the clock

SOME RARE BOOKS.

OF all the rare and costly books In
the world, perhaps the most expen-
sive are certain copies of religious
books. A copy of the Koran, now in
possession of the Shah of Persia, is
said to be worth s1,25O,0O0. Its parch-
ment sheets are bound in solid gold
cover an eighth of an inch in thick
ness, with a silver lining equally
thick. The gold cover is decorated
with precious stones in the form of
crescent. One hundred and nine
diamonds, 167 pearls, and 122 ru-
hies make up the brilliant decoration.
BY the side of this book may be
placed a copy of the Bible, as one Of
the costlcst books in the world. AT

WORLD HERO NOT WARRIOR.

Figures almost go to prove that
world heroes are not men who won
their glory on the battlefield, but on
the country the men who have
done some deed that has benefited
other men.
A little while ago a Paris newspa-
per had voting contest of the French
people to decide who was the greatest
Frenchman of the last century. More
than 100000 votes were polled and
Pasteur was the winner.
Still more recently a professor in
the Imperial university at Toxic Of
fered to give to public school the
! portrait of any man whom the schol-
ars should vote the world hero they
most admired.
Upwards of 500 boys and girls took
part in the contest, and George Wash
ington received a great many more
votes than anybody else. Lincoln was
second, Admiral Togo third and Ben
jamin Franklin fourth.
An English college professor said not
long ago that President Roosevelt is
the greatest living man. These vari-
Gus opinions are decidedly interesting.
1t is significant says the Philadel-
phia Press, when the Frenchmen of
today place a scientist and life giver
like Pasteur in a higher plane than an
empire builder and a peace destroyer
like Napoleon. Is there anybody who
will take exception to the choice of
those japanese school children in Sc
lecting Washington or Lincoln as their
favorite hero instead of a purely war
like figure, even though it be their
own immortal Togo?"

THE IDAHO MURDER TRIALS.

From a political standpoint, the
trial of Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone for conspiracy to murder ex-
Governor Frank Steunenberg of Ida
no. is far more important and far
reaching than the trial and execution
of either Guiteau or Czolgosz, the as
sassins of Garfield and Mckinley.
The assassination of the two presi-
dents of the United States was, in both
instances, the work of an insane
crank who had no plot, plan, friends
nor backing and while the acts were
abhorred and stirred the nation deep
ly, yet there was no intense feeling
in political circles. as there is today
in the trial of the officials of the
Western Federation of Miners who are
held for the murder of Steunenberg.
The cruel and dastardly murder of
Governor Steunenberg was premed-
itated and long-nursed crime and was
committed because six or seven years
before, Steunenberg had been forced
to use harsh measures to suppress a
rebellion of miners in Idaho.
1t is charged that conspiracy orig
mated with the miners to have revenge
upon Steunenberg, who was regarded
by the miners as an exponent of the
capitalism of the country which
sought to crush out unionism.
1t was alleged by the miners that
the bull pens" of northern Idaho
were the expression OF the class
hatred of the rich against the poor
and from that unfortunate day, the
Coeur dAlene strike has been looked
upon as sort of martyrdom of the
miners and revenge has been nursed
long and fondly in the breasts Of the
radical element.
Looking upon the Occur d'Alene af-
fair as an expression Of class hatred,
the socialists have taken up the cry
and today that entire political party
is aflame with indignation and anger,
