dent of mems club in New York
city. There were two candidates for
the place; one clerk in a New
York financial institution, whose
young wife had been a working girl.
the, other wealthy manufacturer,
with a reputation among his neigh,
bors for "closeness", The day be.
fore the election each member OF
the little club received a typewriter
letter, signed by woman whom all
knew. which began with these words:
"If what write you is not true, it is
libel" Then she said that the club
should not honor its "meanest man."
and related some amusing incidents
to demonstrate that she was not mis-
taken in her estimate of the man. In
closing she wrote. What do you
think of a man who has his barn
painted and says to his wife: That's
your birthday present. If you can
afford TO elect that kind of man for
your president. go ahead!" The al
,eged "meanest man" was defeated.

One Appreciative Reader.

Pasted on the cover of one library
copy of a certain 1907 novel Is a
circulation record that causes pro-
found wonderment. The book has
been taken out of the library four
teen times In all; twelve times on the
same card.
That remarkable record is a mat
ter for serious speculation. How
could book of that caliber convey
to any soul a message SO tremen-
dous that dozen readings were de-
sired? BY the average reader and
by critics it would be considered a
commonplace book. When publish
ed 1t created no discussion. made no
impression; 1t deserved to make
none, yet, Notwithstanding its APP
parent mediocrity, some scene there
in, some character. some human
note, went straight to the heart of
at least one reader. There has been
no skipping in reading that book.
It has been read carefully from cover
to cover; not page that shows NO
sign OF usage. This very evidences
OF absorption bear eloquent testi-
mony to the interest the story evok-
ed in its one devoted reader. If it
were another kind of book, scien-
tific treatise or text book Of some
kind, it would be conceivable that a
student might wish to take it home
twelve different times and pore over
it for a month at stretch, but how
trite, threadbare little novel can
SO stir a human soul. Verify, here
is another mystery past finding out.

CARE OF APPLE TREES.

Apple trees do best In a fertile
clayey loan or white oak" soil and
on a southeastern slope. Varieties
should be chosen which are known to
be hardy in the locality. Information
may be obtained from the State ex.
pertinent stations in nearly every
State
The trees should not be planted
closer than twenty-four feet each way.
Dirt should be well packed about their
roots and cultivation practiced for
several years.
Between the trees crops of pota-
toes or small fruits may be grown
Clean culture is essential to prevent
Infection by insects and fungous dis
eases. The trees should be. watched
carefully for borers, which eat in the
trunk. These can be dug out with
a knife or killed by poking wire into
the aperture.
The trees give best satisfaction
when headed low, SO careful pruning
is essential. 1t is we'll to see that
the trunk is shaded on the southwest
by a healthy limb, which win prevent
sun scald.
When the tree is coming into bear
ing spraying with paris green or bor-
deaux mixture is recommended. This
should be done after, the blossoms
fall and again three weeks later This
treatment kills broods of the codling
moth and keeps fungi in check

Wedding Dinner For So Cost $500.
During the forenoon of the second
day of the recent regatta, we'll
dressed man entered Commercial
Street cafe, and informed the pro-
prietor that he. was to be married
early in the afternoon, and desired
to give a wedding dinner to 80 per-
sons at o'clock. At first he was
told that the regatta rush of visitors
would interfere with such an under
taking, but he insisted that he be
given the accommodations, and the
proprietor agreed to accommodate
him. A table, beautifully decorated
with flowers, was arranged, and spec
ial walters assigned to it. The groom
had said that all would order when
they arrived at the table. and at the
appointed time, when the party had
seated themselves, the host ordered
coffee and cake for them all, which
they took one hour to consume. The
happy husband then gave the much
chagrined proprietor $3.20 and left.

COMMERCIAL GOL0Ml
MeekIy Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReDorts.
Bradstreet's says:

Business in general has expert
enced further moderate improve
ment in jobbing as we'll as in whole
sale lines. Fall trade has reached
the maximum at some cities, and
most out-of-town merchants have
left the large centers for home,
though State fairs and fall carnivals
are attracting visitors to various Sec
tions, thus enlarging the volume OF
trade On the whole, purchases
have been confined chiefly to staples.
and no more than actual needs have
been filled; therefore. sales have
been considerably below those of last
year at this season.
This conservatism, for which ap-
preaching elections and the dimin-
ished purchasing power of the pub
lie, outside of the agricultural re-
gions, are responsible, Is looked upon
with some degree of satisfaction. 1t
being felt that, inasmuch as retail
ters' stocks are not burdensome, a
constantly good filling-in order trade
should be experienced throughout
the fall and winter. Relatively. best
reports come from the larger cities
of the West and Southwest. but
Southern and Pacific Northwestern
cities also contribute good returns.
Farmers appear to be more disposed
to let go of their products, and this
fact augurs we'll for future country
trade and some activity in railway
traffic. while it will tend toward bet
terment in collections.
