welcome Crop News.

When one buys an apple these
days it is Just like being handed a
lemon, when the price is paid. 1t
is a fact that domestic fruits are
higher than tropical. A shopper
pays just as much for an apple as is
charged for an orange. Doubtless,
1t is because Of the scarcity and all
will be glad to- know that there is
better prospect so far for a good fruit
crop in thissstate than there has been
at this time of year for several sea-
sons past. The cold weather, which
began late and has been practically
unhroken, has kept the sap of the
trees down and thus given hope for
a good crop. AS one farmer re-
marks:
THE buds on the fruit trees have
not had even a chance to swell, so
far, and if the sort of weather we
have had the past, week or so con
tinues, for even ten days or two
weeks more l predict a phenomenal
crop all along the fruit line. Peaches,
apples, pears, plumbs, cherries, and
the small stuff are all in excellent
shape, at. present, and with a little
more cold weather all will be well.
But there is another side to the
farmers outlook. There has been a
good deal of alternate freezing and
thawing, and that has been bad for
the wheat. Another thing-usually,
about this time of the year, the
farmers are able to do something in
the direction of blowing, or at least
preparing for putting their fields in
order, but so far there has been moth
ing doing in that line. That means
delay"

Rebul.es scherr,s press Rnrenn.

The Huntington Dispatch wisely
and timely dlsapproyes Of the meth
DDS employed by the press bureau for
Mr., scherr. The Dispatch says: n
X +;Generally speaking, the Repub-
.1lcan newspapers Of this state are
following a square deaP' policy,
and are not placing themselves in
the embarrassing attitude, as many
Of them did four years ago, of hay-
ing to take back what they said or
remain silent, impotent uninauen-
tial factor in working out the success
OF their partyiat the polls. Il
lit is to be regretted that the adj
vice given by the Dispatch which we
deemed good and timely, and which
was intended for the members of the
craft, was not awaiting in the case Of
Mr.. scherr's ardent and able press
bureau. We have received the lat
est pamphlet from that source, which
contains the scurrilous letters Of
Baker, Lanham, ct al, and others
material of an unworthy, untruthrul
and utterly useless sort. That sort
of stun tends to disrupt the party,
and is wholly unfair and lllegltimate.
1t can do Mr.. scherr's candidacy no
good whatsoever. In fact, 1t is the
judgment of the most astute political
managers that it will do 1t harm, and
has done it injury since that policy
was inaugurated. The fact, which
is most patent to all observing poll
ticians, that Mr.. swisher's candidacy
has not suffered an iota by these I'M
just and improper assaults, but has
steadily grown in strength, ought to
be seen, understood and needed by
Mr.. scherr himself, even II his press
agents have failed to do so. 1t is
presumed, anu naturally so, since he
has his political all at stake, that he
himself, personally directs the OPP
Grafton of his writer's and his print
ers. If so, he is committing an
egregious blunder, and The Dis
patch says 1t TO him in all kindness.
ION the other hand he must see
that Mr.. swisher's candidacy in not
relying on insulting personalities, or
upon disruptlng the party organiza-
ton, and comparison of the man
ner in which the two candidates are
being managed, is not at all compli-
mentary to Mr.. scherr. He should
stop 1T.
"The rank and file of the party is
in no mood to approve any methods
that will tend to dlsorganlze and
disrupt the party. One shining ex-
ample OF political folly, they we'll re-
member, was the methods pursued
in the Dawson-Teter campaign"

For months and months leading
Democrats and Democratic news
papers have been bowling for some
sort of an adjustment of the Virginia
debt and Democratic legislators help

have taken the notion that they might
gain some political advantage by is
suing public letter discIaiming any
responsibility for the commission.
Their desperation will avail them
nothing.

proud feature is that adjoining coun-

"a STORY OF THE REVOLUTION

gularly constructed hiding place, for such
Frances well knew it to be, she applied
her eye to crevice to examine the in
side. The blazing fire of dry wood made
the interior light enough to read by. In
one corner lay bed Of straw, with pair
OF blankets thrown carelessly over it.
Against the walls and rock were suspend
ed, from pegs forced into the crevices,
various garments, and such as were APP
parently fitted for all ages and conditions,
and for either sex. British and American
uniforms hung peaceably by the side Of
| each other; and on the peg that supported
gown of striped calico, such as was the
usual country wear, was also depended
| well powdered wig; in Short the attire
was numerous, and as various as if
whole parish were to be equipped from
| this one wardrobe.
In the angle against the rock was an
open cupboard, that held plate or two,
a mug, and the remains of some broken
| meat. Before the Ere was a table made
of rough boards. A book that, by its size
AID shape, appeared to be a Bible, was
lying on the table, unopened. But 1t was
the occupant of the hut in whom Frances
was chiefly interested. This was a man,
sitting on the stool, with his head lean
| ing on his hand, deeply occupied in ex-
amining some open papers. On the table
lay pair of curiously and richly mount
ed horseman's pistols; and the handle of
q sheathed rapier, of exquisite workman
| ship, protruded from between the legs
OF the gentleman, one of whose hands
carelessly rested on its guard. The tall
stature Of this unexpected tenant of the
hut, and his form, much more athletic
than that of either Harvey or her brother,
| told Frances that it was neither of those
| she sought.
She stood, earnestly looking through
the crevice as the stranger moved his
| hand from before his eyes, and raised
his face, apparently in deep musing;
Frances instantly recognized the beneyo-
| lent and strongly marked, but composed,
features of Harper.
All that Dunwoodie had said of his
power and disposition all that he had
himself promised her brother, and all the
confidence that had been created by his
dignifed and paternal manner, rushed
across the mind of Frances, who threw
| open the door of the hut and falling at
his feet, clasped his knees with her arms,
as she cried:
Save him-saye him--save my broth
err; remember your promise, and save
him ~
| Harper had risen as the door opened.
| and there was a slight movement of one
hand toward his pistols; but it was cool,

and instantly checked. He raised the
hood of the cardinal, which had fallen
over her features, and exclaimed, with
some uneasiness:
Miss Wharton! But you cannot be
alone?'
There is none here but my God and
you; and by his sacred name, conjure
you to remember your promise, and save
my brother!'
Harper gently raised her from her
knees and placed her on the stool, begging
her at the same time to be composed, and
to acquaint him with the nature of her
errand. This Frances instantly did.
Miss Wharton" said Harper, "that I
bear no mean part in the unhappy strug-
gle between England and America, it
might now be useless to deny. You owe
your brothers escape, this night, to my
knowledge of his innocence, and the re-
membrance Of my word. Major Dun
woodie is mistaken when he says that
might openly have procured his pardon.
| now, indeed, can control his fate, and
pledge to you word which has some in
fiuence with Washington, that means shall
be taken TO prevent his recapture. But
from you, also, exact promise that
this interview, and all that has passed
Detween US, remain confined to your own
bosom, until you have my permission to
speak upon the subject
Frances gave the desired assurance,
and he continued:
''I'he peddler and your brother will
soon be here, but / must not be seen by
the royal officer, or the life of Birch
might be the forfeiture.'
Never! cried Frances, ardently !;
Henry could never be so base As to be-
tray the man who saved him."

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup CO., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Alexander the Great was explaining to
the reporters how the story originated
that he had wept because there were no
more worlds for him to conquer.
"That ridiculous yarn" he said, was
started by reactionary who happened to
see me wiping cinder out of my eye.
But I've separated him from his job in the
treasury department, all right, all right :"
sFeeling satisfied that he could leave the
verdict to impartial history, he dismissed
the reporters with wave of the imperial
hand.
