Following his usual custom, the mar
ried man dropped into the Dacres lob
by this morning, was put into life
membership in the undesirable citizen
club by the girl with the dice box, and

Morning, Leo" was the greeting,
as mechanical as though produced by
the manipulation of stem winded
stem eight-day clock.
Morning, Captain; what's on your
mind besides your hat this balmy
June morning?"
did you ever stop to think, Leo,
what a difference there is in the wom-
an Of 1908 and the woman of prime
val days? These damsels did not en-
ploy every cent of their hubby's in
come to supply them with the latest
dress goods on the mart. Not bit of
it.
'"Think how different it was in
Adams time. Eve never knew what it
was to own one of those new-fangled
gowns, where the material runs Shy at
the hip hip-hurrah, and ends in a slash
or gore at the bottom. Christmas
shopping was easy in those early hal
cyon days.
"'Come, dearie,' said Eve, to her hub
by, Let's go Christmas shopping
"'All right, honey said ADAM and
thereupon he picked UP a short, stout
club and strolled out to the back
yard to the family tree. Hel SHE'D the
stick TO the topmost branch of the
faithful fig and down came one of
the latest Fall style low-cut costumes,
and Eve was satisfied. When Easter
came around Adam climbed the tree
again and brought down a light and
airy Spring suit.
For several hundred years the styles
in gowns didnt change in Eden, but
something had to go wrong and along
on the Seventeenth of March the
snake came along and wised up the
mother Of men and told her she was
two years behind the times in clothes.
If the truth were, known, Adam started
thot game because it ran up the house

came, and I'll bet dollar if Adam had
ever caught that willy serpent feeting
that Hood River Spitzenberg to Eve

Tomorrow evening the newsboys of

Square theater to witness a vaudeville,
performance, given in their honor. Many
Of the most popular vaudeville stars
OF the city have contributed their SER

Down in Wall street the Christmas
fund will be of generous proportions
and none of the great army of clerks
office boys, bookkeepers, stenographers
and other employees of the exchanges,
banks and brokerage houses will be
forgotten in ST. Nick's distribution.
Several houses, jubilant at the return
of prosperity, will make their en-
ployes present Of half years sal

appointed in the various exchanges to
solicit funds for distribution to the
employees on Christmas, and the bro
kers are responding with more than
customary generosity II is estimated
that at least $2,500,0O0 will represent
the total of this distribution. and it
may climb far beyond that figure

the various express companies, the
holiday rush is already on Thou
sands of parcels have already been
dispatched to foreign lands and to
distant parts of the United States and
its dependencies, and the incoming
mail is constantly growing heavier
and heavier with it's burden of gifts.
There is every prospect that past mail
records will be broken and the express
business will probably make, a similar
showing.
Morgan's Treasures.
One of the greatest exhibitions of
original manuscript of famous literary
works ever shown in America is that
of the J. Pierpont Morgan collection,
which has been open for inspection at
the library of Columbia university for
some time and which comes to a close
today. Millions of dollars would not re-
pay the literary world for the loss Of
these worn sheets, yellowed by time,
which are now the personal property
of the New York financier.
In the magnificent collection are
manuscripts over three hundred years
old, among these ancient works be-
ing Tasso's letters and poems, which
were written about 1870. There are
, original manuscripts of such notable
works as Milton's' Paradise Lost"
Byron's Don Juan" and Thackeray's
vanity Fair" and such modern writ

DO Not Burn Your Stalks.

AS soon as the season opens up,
do not go out and commence to burn
off the vegetable matter on your
fields. Our soil needs humus, and it
is a great mistake to burn grass,
corn stalks or cotton stalks. If you
are able, buy stalk cutter and cut
them up, so they will not be in the
way of the pillow or the growing crop.
If you do not feel able to purchase
stalk-cutter, take hoes or sticks
and break the stalks to pieces. Many
farmers think, when they can go out
some windy day in the spring and set
fire to. all the stubble and stalks on
their farm, that they are doing some-
thing and in fact they are, burning
up money--for any ton of stubble is
worth So to the soil as manure, while
the ash from this stubble would not
weigh over eighty pounds and would
not be worth exceeding fifty cents.

Clean Watches with Bread.


Perhaps the most novel use to
which bread is put may be seen in
the great watch factories at Elgin,
ILL.,, where more than forty loaves OF
fresh bread are required each day.
SuDt. George E. Hunter of the watch
factory is quoted as saying:
From the earliest times in the his
tory Of Matchmaking it has been the
custom of watchmakers to reduce
fresh bread to the form OF dough.
This is done by steaming and knead-
ing. They then use this dough for
removing oil and chips that naturally
adhere in course of manufacture to
pieces as small as the parts of 4
watch. There are many parts of a
watch. by the way, that axe so small
as to be barely visible to the naked
eye. The oil is absorbed by this
dough, and the chips stick to it, and
there is no other known substance
which can be used ASA wiper with
out leaving some Of it's particles at
tached to the thing wiped. This ac-
counts for the continued use Of bread
dough in the Matchmaking industry"

a WRAPPING MACHINE.

A fruit-wrapping machine has been
put in operation in California. 1t re-
quires practically no attention, and
entirely automatically wraps the
fruit. The fruit rolls down slight
incline to the operator, turning slowly
over as it approaches him and giving
him an opportunity to renaeve defee~
tive specimens. Tie fruit is lifted
AZ placed, stem up, in rubber cups,
which carry it to mechanism oper-
ating much as the human hands. 1t
is carried to the paper being cut and
printed from the roll The twist of
the paper is made over the stem end,
thus cushioning the stem and pre-
venting puncture injury. If the ma
chine becomes clogged it is stopped
by a clutch operated by electricity.
A counting attachment registers the
number wrapped. The capacity OF
the machine is said to equal six good
wrappers Country Gentleman.

HOW TO GROW DAHLIAs.

There are few flowers more pleas
ing than the dahlia. 1t is particu-
larry useful for cut flower purposes,
as it continues to produce beautiful
flowers longer than most plants. The
tubers of a hundred different vari-
cites, each with charm of it's own,
may be purchased, or the plants may
be grown from seed. The tubers are
separated into several pieces each,
leaving one eye for each piece, and
planted in yard or field like pota-
toes, except that the planting must be
delayed until all danger Of frost is
past.
The tubers should be planted about
four inches deep and given a good
watering Immediately on planting.
They grow best in very rich, heavy
soil and should be planted two or
three feet apart. They should have
plenty of light and air, but should not
be exposed to the direct sun. They
will not long endure hot and dry
weather. All but the strongest
shoots should be removed as they
appear, and the plants should be tied
to stakes four feet high, the tying be-
ginning when the plant is about a
foot high. In the fall when frost has
killed the tops, take up the tubers
and store them in dry, cool room or
cellar. It is a good plan to examine
the tubers occasionally during the
winter to remove any decayed speci-
mems. The varieties which the anna
teur may grow are numbered by the
hundred and every year new varieties
are added to the list. indianapolis

ENDIVE.

Can you tell me something apou
the endive? How closely is it re-
lated to the lettuce? The imported
leaf is good used for salad in our
leading restaurants and | don't see

market gardens to grow it in this
country. 1t makes delicious salad

name, Chicorium endivia, implies. is

widely appreciated in this country: if

received, especially as it is of easy
culture and naturally follows lettuce

salad plants are at their worst II
can be grown in any good garden
soil, seed being thinly sown (about .
quarter inch deep in drills which
need not be more than a foot anart
and the plants should be PROMPTLY
Trimmed to the same distance in the
rows and kept free from weeds, and
also well cultivated and hoed. If not
picked till full grown, endive should
be blanched, as otherwise it is bitter
and slightly tough; but the young
leaves do not require this. To blanch,
when the plants have attained nearly
their full growth, gather up the
leaves and tie them lightly at their
tips. In from one to three weeks the
heart will blanch beautifully and the
plant should be promptly marketed
as decay quickly follows. Country

ROTATION FoR PEANUTS AGAIN.

ROTATION FOR PEANUTS AGAIN.
In regard to the rotation for pea
nuts, the vetch will be an excellent
crop on the peanut land if the crop
is off early enough. Then the next
spring NOV it for hay after few
seeds have ripened and plant to corn.
After the corn is laid by the vetch
will be coming stronger than ever
and can be pastured in winter and
turned in spring for cotton. Or peas
may be sown among the corn and
then the vetch will take the land in
winter and the two together will
make a fine crop of cotton if all the
manure of the place has been put on
the corn, and after the cotton the
land will be in fine shape to grow
peanuts with good application of
acid phosphate and potash. Pro
