UNAPPRIECIATEID.

"When back east few weeks ago, in the state of Missouri, on business, |" said Seattle merchant, q had occa- sion to visit a town near St. Louis, and one morning, having an idle hour, strolled into the country courtroom, where I witnessed an amusing scene. The justice, big pompous official, with a voice like a trombone, took it upon himself to examine a witness-a little withered old man--whose face was as red and wrinkled as a herring.
 What is your name?' asked the justice.
 Why, squire said the astonished witness, you know my name as well as I know yourn.'
 Never you mind what know or what I don't know was the caution given, with magisterial severity, I ask the question in my official apacity, and you're bound to answer it.

With a contemptuous snort the witt ness gave his name and teh question: ing proceeded.
 Where do you live?"
 Wal, what next? calculated the old man. Why he continued, ap- pealing to the laughing listeners, I've lived in this town all my life, and so's he,' pointing to the justice, 'an', by George Washington, to hear him go on you'd think
 'Silence!' thundered the irate mag istrate. Answer my question or I'll fine you for contempt of court
 Alarmed by the threat the witness named his place of residence and the examination went on.
 What is your occupation?'
 "Huh%
 "What do you do for living?
 70, git out, squire! just as if you don't know that I tend gardens in the summer season and saw good Win ters!"
 'As a private citizen I know 1t, but as the court I am not supposed to know anything about you" explained the persisting justice.
 Wal, squire, remarked the puzzled witness, if you know somethin' outside the court room and don't know nothin in it, you'd better get out an let some body try this case that's got hoss sense
 "The advice may have been good, but it cost the witness ten dollars. Seat tie Post-Intelligencer.

Governor Woodruff keeps persistent ly after the bad lobby, and those who know what it mas been and still to some extent may be will commend his attitude and his attacks. They are cer- tainly most direct, vigorous and uncom- promising. He tells the bad lobby that 1t must go, and he is going to use all his power to make it go. Perhaps neither he nor any Governor can abol- ish, or get abolished, the whole of the bad lobby. But it can be made disrep- utable, and it can be so disorganized and reduced in numbers that it won't be bold and even brazen, as it has sometimes been. More power to the Governor in this crusade. It is a wor- thy one, and worthily undertaken.

The Old Orchard.

When looking backward to the haunts
 Where boyhood's days were spent, There's one that always thrills me Wlth
 A tender sentiment It is a hillside orchard, filled
 With gnarled old apple trees; Knee deep the sweet red clover grew,
 A lure for thieving bees. In springtime twas a picture, with
 Its wealth of snowy bloom, The air around was laden with
 It's fragrant, fresh perfume These were its charms in early spring,
 But I'll admit we boys Deriv'd greater pleasure from
 Its less aesthetic joys. And when the golden summer days
 Drew out their lazy length, Twas then the orchard held for us
 A charm of magic strength. For rosy apples, ripe and sweet,
 Bent low the parent stem, And all our boyish interest
 Was centered upon them Tho many times we had been whipp'd d
 When captured with the prize, This only made the apples seem
 More precious to our eyes. And often, now, when city streets
 Stretch round me everywhere, I'd love to smell the clover and
 The apple bloom out there. --Aline H. Triplette in Kansas City

HE,KE GOT FEM RACK

A few years ago we of Connecticut were troubled because there were no pretty, harmless deer wandering about our State and looking too good to eat. Now. it appears, we are troubled be- cause there are too many pretty, harm ful deer wandering about our State and eating what looks good to them. At the hearing on deer bills Wednes- day some surprising facts were brought out. J, H. Hale said that deer had killed five hundred young apple trees for him. and had also eaten green plums of a certain kind. He told of nclghbor of his who had set out large peach orchard, and was then taken sick and died. while during his illness he saw his young plantation wholly de- stroyed by deer. Actual damages of $500 were paid by the State to his fam fly. but MT, Hale thought constructive

 damages of ten times that amount should have been paid. Several others told of serious damage done by deer, any many advocated the repeal of the law making a close season. It was urged by several speakers that if pro- tection of deer is discontinued the use of rifles in killing them when the open season arrives should be absolutely prohibited on account of the damage to human beings,
 Evidently some change in the present programme is needed. To put it mildly, deer can be too dear, and it is evident that they already are so in this State.

SOME GOOD REASoNING.

They have their problems in Kansas, and some of them are perpleXing enough. One has recently been solved in Topeka in a way that reflects credit on the reasoning of the solver, who, al- most, of course, is of the female sect. A poor working girl of Topeka, noted for her prudence and practicality, has lately been pondering the problem of whether to buy an umbrella, which she needs very much, now the rainy sea- son is coming on, but doesn't at all want, or an Angora kitten which she doesn't exactly need, but wants so much that 1t keeps her awake nights. The other day she settled it to her own satisfaction by deciding on the kitten, which she thinks is ever so much more practical than an umbrella, because you can only use an umbrella when it is raining, but a kitten you have with you always. Besides, you can borrow an umbrella, but nobody would lend an Angora.
 Well reasoned, isn't 1t? Perhaps some sensitive and sensible person will now give that girl an umbrella, and then with the cat and the umbrella she will have some happy hours.

The Japanese government is making all kinds of efforts tc develop the com merce of it's country. For instance, bae papers of Rio de Janeiro say that quite recently the Japanese legation has inti- mated to the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, Baron de Rio Branco, that there would shortly arrive in Rio a large liner belonging to Japanese shipping company, fitted up as a floating exhibi- tion of Japanese products. Certain ex- emptions from dues are asked for, as well as facilities from the health de- partment, etc

SPRAr. SPRAY. SPRAY.

A good many people in Connecticut are trying to have peach orchards again. and they seem to be succeeding pretty well. But if the San Jose scale gets to doing business here. there will be long farewell to peaches. During the ten years ending 1900 there was an increase of S5 per cent. in the number of peach trees in the United States but recently, according to information made public by the Department of Ag- riculture. there has been a marked de- cline in peach culture in New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. The tender, juicy shrubs provide good material for the pest to feed on, and it is said that it was first brought into this country on peach trees imported from North China. Every person having peach trees is urged to spray them thorough ly before the buds swell
 Spray, spray, spray! Peaches are good, and human beings are perhaps as we'll entitled to them as the bugs.

There can always be exceptions to rules, and so it is not surprising to read that the War department has de- cided to make an exception in favor of the annual military tournament at the Madison Square Garden. New York city, in the execution of the newly adopted rule which limits the partici- patton of regular troops to celebrations of purely patriotic nature or in com memoration of important historical events and in expositions to which gov ernment aid has been extended. The military tournament at Madison Square Garden is regarded by authorities as of much importance, as it brings crack army commands into public notice and acts as an encouragement to the enlist ed men to compete for the distinction of appearing in that competition. The troops will not take part in any other tournament, unless 1t is shown exclu- siyely to the War department officials that such tournament is a bona fide military affair. There is an end to the employment of the regular troops in State and county fairs carnivals and festivals. It is considered that there is other work to be done besides lending the army to celebrations of purely To- cal or commercial character.

It is related that newly elected justice in Wisconsin was much elated by his honors, but was not sure that he could carry them gracefully. So he haunted the court house for weeks that he might gather up crumbs of wis dom from the judicial table of the high CT station. Finally he sat in judgment on his first case and when the testimo- ny was all in and the arguments made he said: "The court takes this case un- der advisement until next Wednesday morning, when 1t will render a ver- dict in favor of the defendant"

A remarkable case of trichnosis is reported from Roumana. Dr. Babes of Bucharest recently made an autopsy of a man who twenty-one years before, after having eaten fresh pork, had suf- fered from a sickness diagnosed as ty- phoid fever. After his illness the man remained weak, and often complained of muscular pains, mostly in the legs
 The patient died after an attack of asystolia. Animals which were fed with a part of the muscles died of trichi- nosis eight Or ten days later. The trich- inae were therefore alive, and Dr. Ba- Jbes is convinced that the infection was twenty-one years old and that the original sickness was really trichinosis.

A iTiddiers' Convention.
(Anuerson Intelligencer.) }

What about a fiddlers' convention
for Anderson? They have held them
in Georgia and North Carolina and
large crowds have attended and en-
joyed the music. When we say fid-
dlers we mean fiddlers, and not rio-
linists, these bestarched fellows who
cannot hold a fiddle unless they have
a shoulder rest. They also call their
instruments "violeens," with special
emphasis on the last syllable, 70
fear that some one should think they
had fiddle. There are two dozen
or more fiddlers in the county. Abb
beville, Pickens, Oconee and Green
vile counties could send over some
of their best players, and there would
be good old time and lots Of real
fun and enjoyment. What do the
fiddlers have to say about the con-
vention?
(The Courier takes especial plea
sure in referring the above to Capt.
S. X. Dendy. We would be glad to
have his views on the matter.)
