Nor AN APPLE LEFT

Fred Welhouse, owner of more apple
trees than any other man in Kansas,
said this week:
''The apple crop is completely ruined,
There will not be single apple in my
orchards, 1 had $4,000 trees which
show, as fine promise for a crop as
/ ever saw in the state. But there is
nothing left there now. 1t will be the
first time since 1880 that will not
raise a single apple. have had short
crops but not a complete failure. :"

Tree advertising at the Normal lately.
a Supposedly on account of a
0> personal grievance, Principal
~ \Picken, in chapel, knowing
those present had to swallow
= " the dose he prepared, unfor-
tunately took the Baseball advers as
his subject, forgetting he had failed to
make his word good, and told the stu
dents what a naughty paper the Free
Press was for not longer publishing
free the Normal Baseball adver, and
another paper will be secured.
But the Free Press has been pub
lished "a years and is used to these dis
plays of temporary insanity of some
fellow who feels bad over the way the
paper is run. But Mr.. Picken was
not honest enough to tell his audience
that he had contracted with the news
paper for $5 in advertising and to give
them couple season tickets same as
the other subscribers. That he had
given the other subscribers their tick
cts so they could see the Plainville
game but forgot his word to the papers
and sent them none That the baseball
manager and editor were notified yet
he still failed to make his word good
But when the Free Press got tired
of the Free hobby-horse and left the
adver out the awful squeel came. Not
honorable enough to acknowledge to
those teachers and scholars his mistake,
but ranted hoping to hurt the paper
But everyone who has heard the facts
concede the papers should have had
their tickets, and the baseball boys
want the papers to boom them.
The Free Press was run long before
Mr.. Picken was known here; helped
our citizens get the school here so he
could get his present position; it will
be running long after he and it's editor
have passed beyond. Now it is this pa
per that he snarls at; few weeks ago
it was the citizens who failed to come
to his meeting, build houses or take
Normal boarders forgetting that these
citizens saw he didn't put any of his
money in houses or take any students
in his home; and his ranting is wasting
of his time and strength. Far better to
study the Golden Rule and make ga
promise good as a bond''

Special to The Herald.

VANCOUVER. B. c.. Jan. 30.-I
might get four or five dollars out of the
$S0O,O0O,OO0. I'm not losing any sleep
over the fortune we're entitled to-"
So spoke DR.. William Comm of San
don, B. c., when shown a dispatch say
ing that Mrs. L. M. Comm of Savan-
nah, Ca, and other heirs are entitled
to property worth the sum mentioned
1t is said the lawyers are trying to
find the heirs. Perhaps DR.. Comm is
hiding from them, in the Selkirks, whose
snowy peaks Sandonites sees all the
year round. DR.. William Comm is the
son of the Mrs. Comm Of Savannah.
"Shucks, 1 know just what you're
going to say" he remarked when shown
the dispatch. 'I'm not losing any sleep
over that Trinity church property in
New York. My mother is a direct
descendant of the Bogardus family, who
several generations back owned the
ground now known as the Trinity
church estate, in the heart of the busi-
ness quarter. The lease for ninety
nine years given the church people
has expired, and all this valuable land
reverts to the Bogardus family. But
there are other heirs besides my mother.
There may be thousands. 1 might get
only four or five dollars if there are
lot, of heirs; but If there are only a
few, I won't do thing to my portion"

DEAD MAN RETURNS
TO CLAIM LIVING CHUM
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MIDDLETOWN, Jan. 30.-A bond so
strong that death itself could not dis
solve it united Ward Edwards, a vet
eran fireman of the Ontario & Western
railroad, and Thomas Mickens, the en-
gineer who ran the engine on which he
worked. Mickens died less than year
ago, but Edwards loyalty to their
friendship has never faltered. No other
replaced his comrade in his regard, and,
in the opinion of their associates Mick
ems has returned to claim him.
Edwards, grievously i'll, was taken on
Monday to Thoalls hospital, where for
many hours he lay unconscious. Sud-
denly he revived. Half lifting himself
in the bed he cried out in clear, ring
ing voice, I'm coming, Tom." Then,
with smile, he fell back dead. No one
doubts that he saw the engineer by his
bedside awaiting him and went gladly
to join him.

falling became known to the woods
men, and one night they decided to
give their comrade a good tickling.
Five or six men got him in a. corner
and the tickling began. At first Blank
purn laughed and yelled as he tried to
Dreak away, but suddenly he Topped
over in what appeared to be a sound
sleep. The men left him lying on a
lounge. and when at O'Clock, the
camp bedtime, he had not awakened,
they covered him up for the night.
Next morning when Blankburn could
not be aroused the lumbermen became
frightened and sent several miles for
q doctor He had no success, although
ne tried all the means at his command.
Hypodermics were administered, the
man was pinched, slapped and cuffed,
and finally strong ammonia was placed
under his nostrils
The fumes had no effect other than
to make the sleeper cough, and in des-
peration the doctor tried tickling.
Bearing Blankburns feet, he took
hen feather and applied it gently. The
man half opened an eye and rolled
over. This satisfied the physician that
he could be awakened by the same
means that put him to sleep and he
left the loggers to complete the job.
Little by little the tickling took ef-
feet and at the end of three more days
Blankburn was able to sit up and eat
a hearty neal He appears to be none
the worse for his extended sleep.

MAN OUTLINES OWN COFFIN

Ready to Use the Case
He Made

COLUMBUS. Ind. JAN 3O.-The re-
mains of the late John Burke. who died
at indianapolis at the age Of S5 years,
arrived here yesterday for burial. With
the exception of the last two years the
deceased spent his life in Bartholomew
county and in his early manhood he
owned farm in Jackson township, on
which he planted walnut tree.
In later years he, with his own hands,
built coffin from the lumber of the
walnut tree and requested that he be
buried in it, but his request will not be
granted for the reason that he outlived
the coffin.
The coffin was built thirty years ago
and was placed in vault in Garland

"All right" said the hog owner,
come right this way" and he stopped
piling brush to lead the way to the
piggery. AS the men were nearing the
building the owner remarked, "Spose
I'd oughter tell you thet I charge 10
cents to see the critter."
Mr.. Begin fshed dime from his
trousers pocket and handed 1t out.
Then he turned on his heel without
word and started for his wagon. Mr..
Jeffries, who had been too astonished
at first to speak, called out:
Amt you goin' to look at the hog?'
With snort of contempt Mr.. Begin
climbed into his wagon and as he
gathered up the reins he looked JEFF
fries over from head to foot and shout
ed: mo, thank ye! I've seen as big
hog as I ever saw or want to see

Along the last of it, when the callers
became so frequent that Mr.. Jeffries
could not do any farm work, so fully
was his time taken in showing off his
prize winner, he concluded that he
would charge an admission fee and
make a little on the exhibit. So he
set the price at 10 cents, and for a
time every one paid and all seemed
we'll satisfied with the return they re-
ceived for their money.
Just about an hour before the an
imal was slaughtered Jerry Begin from
Newry drove into the yard. Jeffries
was busy piling brush against the
house and did not like to leave his
work. Mr.. Begin drove up, stopped
