Pretty Severe, but Largely True.

There are many things that the
legislators could do that would be
of benefit to the people, but they
will be the last people to think
about it.-Durham Herald.
Yes; if members of the Legis-
lature who are capable of doing
80 would give some time and
thought to the public welfare they
could find much to do of benefit.
For instance the man who will
devise a method to secure a prop
er and just assessment Of property
for taxation-a method that will
make all property bear its just
proportion Of the public burdens
would be a public benefactor.
But the appointment Of a politi-
cal heeler to job, or the passage
of some special act for the benefit
of a favored few, will take so
much time that the problems
which call for real craftsmanship
will be allowed to go.

Ami. Trees Bloom Twice.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 20.-Mrs. c. H.
Hanson, of this city, is the owner of
apple trees that bore two crops of ap-
pies last year, blooming three times,
and this year are working out this
strange freak again. Trees are now in
full bloom for the second time this
year, and almost before the first large
crop of apples has been gathered.
These second blossoms have been seen
and present peculiar appearance at
this time of the year, with an odor
that reminds one of spring. Last year
the trees bore a large crop of apples
in August, and the second blossoms
had begun to appear at the picking.
When frost came the apples of this
second crop were as large as hazel
nuts and a third set of blossoms had
appeared This year the trees bid fair
to- repeat the continuous performance.
