 In from two to thred weeks cut the strips of mating and remove them. thus giving all chance to expand. In the spring If your buds do not winter kill, as peach buds sometimes do. they will shoot forth and. weather and in- sects permitting. in due time will bear you an abundant harvest.

MISSOURI RATE CASE.


 Kansas City. Dec. 14-cailing up ths Missouri passenger and freight hearing today after . four weeks recess, Judge Smith MePherson, of Red Oak, Ia., se- vereiy scored the attorneys in the case for their tardiness and declared that he would not tolerate further delay.
 The lease has been on the docket for three years.l Part of the States issue is to decide whether or not the rail. ways operating in Missouri can afford to carry passengers in Missouri for two cents a Riie on trunk lines. The law does not apply to short lines.
 Two witnesses-W IT Whitenon, su- perintendent of the. Rock Island lines in Arkansas. and R E. Kimball, auditor of the Cotton Belt Railroad. testified today. In depositions given previously the railroads had set tip that 1t cost more to carry intrastate passengers than 1t did interstate passengers.
 Attorney Lehman, for the State. made both witnesses admit that through trains carried both State and inter. state passengers; that sometimes State passengers rode as far on their respect i've trains as interstate passengers did; that the same train hauled both; and that 1t cost no more for the hauling the State than lt did the interstate pas sengers on these trafns.

TROOPS HOLD TRAIN
UNUSUAL CONDUCT OF SOLDIERS
 IN ALGERIA.
Motion For The Escapade ls c Mystery But ft Haa Created Pre- found SensafiOn--SevePaI
 Captured.

Oran, Algeria. Dec, 14--Soldiers of the foreign legion, numbering about fifty. with fixed bayonets held up a train recently on it's way to this city.
 General Charles L. Viry, the French eommandant of infantry who was aboard the train alighted and address ed the men. urging them to remain loyal. No attempt was made to rob the train or modest the passengers and the motive of the strange escapade is a mystery.
 The men listened to the words of the general and then took their departure. Some of them since have been arrested and others are reported to be wander ing in the country districts.
 Further advices regarding the hold ing up of the train state that the mutinous soldiers forced the engineer to take his train back some distance. They meanwhile guarded the doors of the cars. threatening the passengers with their bayonets f they attempted to move. When the train came to a stop the soldiers jumped off and marched away in perfect order.
 Those who have been captured say that their comrades are making for the Moroccan frontier, that they have plen- ty of ammunition and will sell their lives dearly. The French troops are now in active pursuit and 1t is likely that there will be serious fighting when the two columns meet. The af- fair has created a great sensation throughout the colony.

a Eittls Card trick.

'NLaaI -. Hstg - - ~ lt,e ~
a Russian priest was SO devoted to
the amusement Of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
tore commencing the church services.
On one occasion, having q particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re-
turn and finish the game after the
service. ,Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor, to- the extreme
scandal Of the congregation. The wit.
:W priest, however, was fully equal to
the occasion. AT the conclusion of the
service he beckoned up n of the
choristers and asked him the names Of
several Of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name of the. next
saints day, which the. child could not
tell
"see!" cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. "You teach your
children the names of every card In
the packsSsand leave them ignorant Of
their religion Let this be the last
time am compelled to bring playing
cards into the church to shame you.''
And picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.-London Answers.
