to the Sugar-pole, yet doing nothing,
the day before. But it is one of
the best established traditions of

stock he is invariably attracted to it
every time afterward that it shows
signs of frothing. More than all, I
had one Of those strong nowhere-born-
nowhere-cradled intuitions common to
those living in the stock-gambling
world, which made me feel the creepy
shadow of coming events.
AS on that day few weeks before,
the crowd was at the Sugar pole, but
it's alignment was different. There in
the center were Barry Conant and his
trusted neutenants, but no opposing
rival. None of those hundreds of
brokers showed that desperate resolve
to do or die that is born of a neces-
sity. They were there to by or sell,
but not to put up life or death, on
me-depends-the-result fight. Those
who were long of stock could easily
be distinguished by their expressions
of joy from the shorts, who had seen
the handwriting on the wall and were
filled with uncertainty, fear, terror.
The demeanor of Barry Conant and
his lieutenants expressed confidence;
they were going to do what they were
there to do. They showed by their tight
buttoned coats, and squared shoulders
that they expected lots of rush, push
and haul work, but apparently they
anticipated no last-ditch fighting. The
gong pealed and the crowd Of brokers
sprang at one another. but only for
blood, not flesh, bone, heart and soul;
just blood. The first price on Sugar
was 211 for 5000 shares. Some one
sold it in a block. Barry Conant
bought it. It did not require three
eyes to see that the seller was one
of his lieutenants. This meant what
is known as a wash" sale, fictitious

Barry had tipped off Cam that all
the boys will let go their fliers, and

Bishop Luther Wilson was elected
to his new honor at the general con.
ference of the Methodist church,
which convened in Los Angeles, and
was assigned to Chattanooga as his

Der of the Methodist church of Chat

which had elected the young bishop,
fastened to call upon him. After going
through his pocket in a vain search
for card, Mr.. Patten asked at thu
desk in his peculiarly slow drawl:
"Have you any plain cards?"
Certainly" answered the clerk, and
stepping briskly to the cigar stand he
handed the astonished Mr.. Patten a
deck of playing cards.

Manure for Orchards.

On thin soils, when the old orchard
is renewed, the soil may profitably
receive a liberal application of we'll
rotted stable manure. This should
be applied only under the extremities
of the branches and worked well into
the soil. Fresh manure should not
be applied. Ashes may be used in adj
dition to the well-rotted manure or it
may be thrown near the base of the
tree to destroy many of the insects
there.

Shoot the Pigeons.

Better buy the boy a shotgun and
allow him to shoot the pigeons which,
make their homes in the barn than to

in lots where the hogs are fed and m
