udNc bSCn HE H4A SutA'At'> VI ' . The soil has been improved to q remarkable degree by the ashes and the humus crops turned un- der. The trees have shed their rough bark. not through applica- tions of I've washes, but by natural process of growth result ing from renewed vigor, the bark of the trees being now smooth and healthy looking. The annual growth is from 12 to Is inches on the bearing trees and from IS inches to , f-2 feet on the resets. The latter have, as a rule. become fair sized four year old trees. The old trees now hold their foliage till November 10 each season: and there IS no tendency toward fall blooming as is so often the case when trees shed their foliage in August. The general results of spraying have been from % to 9s per cent of sound fruit each season. The oldest part of the orchard has been the most fruitful. This part, ten-acre block, nearly solid, in 1900 yielded 1900 out of the 2000 barrels placed in storage, as we'll as 9S per cent sound fruit. The fruit from this part of the orchard. which has had the largest allowance of potash and lime in wood ashes, was un- usually firm and oi superior flavor, as well las much iuieier than average Ben Davis-so much so that the difference was noticed readily. when barreling the apples, by the harvest hands who were ignorant of any cause for the difference.
 Perhaps the most interesting thing to record k tile fact that there have been no"off years i'll tletime. One of these years was an of wear in tie average orchard. That year an orchard of g acres on similar soil pro duted 70 barrels. This was l905. In our orchard the=erep> Were as follows: 1e05. 5S4 barrels; leo6. coco barrels: 19e7. l5ao barrels. Prior to DOS the record of the orchard had. been Itwo=crops in nine years: fs97. 5000; 1qof. s26oe, an average of about 5555 q year. In the past three years there have been three crops. For barreled apples, not counting dried fruits. vinegar. or other farm products. the gross returns have averaged some $500 a year, from the twenty-seyen acres of bearing orchard. Storage eXpen- Ses. barrels and cost Of harvest inghave made large hole in the income. All the work has been done by unskilled labor at good wages. Expenses have been somewhat larger than the ex- penses of maintaining an orchard already in good condition, but the orchard has paid all its own expenses, allowing s per cent in- terest. and somewhat over 25 per cent profit.
 Not merely good crops have been secured each of the three years. but the orchard k in ex- cellent condition 10 last and pro- duee for d number of years ten or fifteen at least. I should judge. At this writing the fruit buds promise another crop next year, but o4 course one should never count chickens unti the eggs are matched.

 There are many orchards which are probably too far gone to ever do much with. They are old and the trees scattering, II too far gone to make care worth while they should be cut down.

THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times Be a "Livable"
Room.

What to do with the living room Is
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours We have for
leisure, the time We have for play,
the place where We entertain our
friends and 1t is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color. suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting. and
indicate a higher degree OF taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which We paste on when We
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet. that is what We
suggest to the Imagination when We
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full. but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form OF a tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately 1t is
the only permanent way: the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor In the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 15Te.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use OF darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light;
light yellows reflect It: browns mod.
ify 1t. and so on, through the scale
OF colofs. The color scheme OF a
room not only is dependent upon the
color OF the carpetings but II Is also
dependent upon the light OF the room.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be Wk:te Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead. little drops Of bright. pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tience the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company. Wood
bridge Building. New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case Of Scabies-Body a Mass
Of Sores from Scrstching-Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"A young woman came to our city
mission In most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch), /,
incipient paresis. rheumatism. etc.
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day | bought cake OF
Cuticura Soap and a bottle OF Cuti-
cura Resolvent. and we bathed our
patient well and gave her full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day | got box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for
position. and sheis now strong and well.

FORTUNE WAITS LOST BOY.
Supposed to Be Penniless Orphan. But
Rich Father Suddenly Appears.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Detectives who
for the last four weeks have been
searching through this portion of
Pennsylvania for Paul James, a young
man for whom parents and a fortune
wait in New York, although he be
iieyes himself penniless orphan.
have discovered a clew which they
are confident will result in his dis
covery.
The boys story is most romantic.
Seventeen years ago his father disap-
peared from New York. II was
thought he had been murdered. but in
stead he had been shanghaied and
shipped on a long voyage. A short
time ago he returned to New York
and found his wife.
When he disappeared they were
poor. and the mother placed the boy
in an orphan asylum and went to
work. Circumstances were never
such that she could take him out of
the asylum until two years ago. Then
she found that he had been put out
with farmer. but had run away from
the farm in September. 1905.

John ID. Rockefeller pretends that
he is not and never was superstitious !:
still he carries in his pocket an eagle
stone. II is a perforated stone OF great
antiquity. found In an eagles nest. and
is supposed to be charm against
disease, shipwreck and other dis
asters. II is of a brownish tint and
about the size of a pigeon egg. When
shaken 1t rattles as II another stone

PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think Hs
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members Of the
German-American society. tells a story
about a German friend Of his who
was taken i'll.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after time he
showed improvement in condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
Limburger cheese. and the wife. being
a generous woman and pleased at the
improvement. and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked.
When did he die?"-Hartford Post

ball. The necessary operation cost
him five dollars. but he won the one

UNUSUAL WILL LEFT
CHILDREN OF DECEASED MUST
WE'D TO SHARE IN WEALTH..
Seven Girls and Six Boys viii Have
to Marry Before They Are 30
Must Also Dig for Buried
Treasure.

ST Louis-Seven girls and six boys,
named as heirs in the will of William
Helwig, a retired lumber dealer OF st.
Louis. must marry before they are 30
years old or be cut off from all par
ticipation in his estate.
Mrs. Caroline Neubert of 4047 Clay
ton avenue, Helwig's daughter, be-
lieves that before the heirs can share
in the fortune of her father they must
not only comply with the unusual pro-
visions of the will, but they must also
dig for buried treasure in the neigh
borhood of Broadway and Sidney
street
For nearly 30 years Helwig lived at
2525 South Broadway and was pro
prietor of lumber yard at 2423 South
broadway. During the greater part
OF that time he was a widower and his
daughter Caroline. now Mrs. Neubert,
was his housekeper
She says that when he sold out his
business and retired ten years ago
he had a fortune, possibly as much as
$4,000.
In his declining years he was &C.
centric and all efforts of the family to
learn what he had done with his
money were in vain.
One day when his mind seemed un-
usually clear he called members OF
his family to his bedside and said:
It's under the ground"
As he lived at 2525 South Broad
way when he received the money for
which he sold his lumber business
members of the family think the for
tune may be buried on the premises
or near there.
Il haven't the least doubt that my
father was a rich man at the time OF
his DEATH" said Mrs. Neubert. but
believe that he buried his money. He
lived with us for four years. but two
years ago he insisted on going to the
Soldiers Home at Leavenworth. From
there he was transferred to the Home
at Danville. ILL.,, where he died Feb
ruary Is last.
His will was made IA years ago.
when his mind was perfectly clear.
He was a prosperous business man
then. and I know he had a good deal
OF money and property"

TOMORROW NIGHT
Joseph Towards Big Musical Comedy
at the Rhode Opera House

There is every indication that the
new musical piece, ''The District
Leader, which is to be presented at
the Rhode tomorrow night will be wei
coined by Kenosha theatre-go The
news of its success in the East has
evidently preceded It, The District
Leader is called a comedy with music,
and was written and composed by
Joseph E. Howard.
The Kansas City Journal in its re
view Of the piece said; THE District
Leader is the brightest and most en-
PERTAINING musical comedy that has
been seen here in a long time, and one
of the reasons for the great success of
the piece was that Mr.. Howard gave it
plot that has substance to it, In
TACT, the story is one that holds the
interest and attention Of the audience
throughout Tt tells of the fight for
senatorship in New York with Deepen
dent love stories The comedy is in
three acts, the first scene showing the
lobby of the Hoffman House, the second
a street in the Chinese section of New
York. and last q beautiful mansion on
Riverside Drive. Miss Grace Sloan has
the role of Flossie White, a New Jer-
sey innocent, and she plays the part
most admirably. There is probably no
better exponent of child Is parts ON the
stage than Miss Sloan. Her song hits,
q Heart to Let "The Same Old
Story ''Won't You Be My Grille"
were rendered with charming effect
"|What' IS the Use of Dreaming?" was
one Of the best liked of the evening
In fact, all the songs which were com
posed by the author actor were bright
and catchy, and number Of the tunes
were whistled by the gallery gods, an
infallible sign of a hit.
The supporting company in "The
District Leader" are twelve principals,
and a chorus of tbirty-eight, A feature
with any musical comedy of the present
day is it's chorus and in HfTbe District
Leader" it is said there will be found
as attractive q group Of girls as have
been gotten together in some time.
The piece is handsomely staged and
"TTbe District Leader" engagement
here promises to be as big a success as
in the other cities visited. DIV

Candidates at County Election
File Statement Of Monies Ex-

the county clerk will certify to the dis
trict attorney the list of candidates
who have failed to observe the provi-
sion of the law and the district attor-
ney will probably use his own judg
ment in regard to the prosecution of
the men. In past years the law has
been violated by many candidates and
there have been no prosecutions and it
is possible that the same plan Will be
followed this year with the change that
a. notice will be sent to the delinquent
candidates and they be given chance
to make a report Should the candi-
dates refuse to make report after
this it is probable that the law will be
given a test in the county

by the candidates show only small ex-
penditures and great number of them
state that they had no expenses what
ever.
