USE APPLES FREELY.
Ways In Which the Unmarketable
Fruit Can Be Used.

Where apples are grown there Is
often a large waste of fruit in the
orchard because the windfalls and
understandable stock are allowed to
decay on the ground. This is habit
peculiar to the northwest, where the
waste on the farms, If saved, would
equal the entire income of some Sec
lions of the world. The frugal New
Highlander and his family make use
of large proportion of the culls and
windfalls from the orchard. A cider
press will make it possible to convert
much of this waste into vinegar which
is in demand in almost every family.
Small green apples also make most
excellent quality of fruit jelly which isl
relished by all and as a spread for
bread is much superior to some butter
we have sampled.
Apple butter is cheaply prepared
from the small stock and should be
made by the gallon where there are
children in the family. "Pie timber"
is usually store product on the farm,
but the orchard should supply material
for such pastry during the entire year.
The Duchess apple makes splendid
filing for pies and dumplings when it
is fresh, dry, or canned. The Hibernal
is not good seller on the markets but
the cooks prefer it to many other va
rieties for pies.
Small fruit evaporators are now OBJ
tainable which may be heated over
the kitchen range where apples can
be dried very quickly and cheaply.
They are entirely practical and worthy
of place in every household where
fruits and vegetables are grown.
Apple preserves and pickles make
dainty dish that young and old
relish. People in the cities often pay
two dollars per bushel for crso apples
which they use for pickles and pre-
serves, while the farmers family, with
the apples going to waste in the or
chard, is entirely without these luxuries.
Baked apples and Jersey cream is
good enough for king. Apple sauce
plain or spiced-should be on the
farmers table three times day when
the fruit is wasting on the ground.
Keep plumb full Of apples while they
are ripe.

SAMPLE OF BRITISH RED TAPE.
May or May Not Be True, but II
Makes Good Story.

At dinner in New York during his
disastrous American visit, Henri Far
man, the aviator, complained of the
American customs regulations.
With their affidavits, declarations,
examinations and what not" said Mr.
Farman, there is too much red tape
about your customs. A man gets lost
in all this red tape, as they say a for
eigner was once lost in the red tape
of the British post office.
This foreigner stood, one luckless
evening, before the newspaper box in
the London post office. The box has a
huge mouth. Newspapers are thrust
into it In bales. AS the inquisitive
foreigner bent over 1t bale of news
papers struck his shoulder, and with
dull thud he fell into the box.
His friends ran around to the coun-
tiers to rescue him. The clerks, how
ever, paid no attention to their de-
mands. The foreigner was In the mail
box. Accordingly they would treat
him as mail matter.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In gardening it often pays to buy
considerable quantities of potash, nj
trogen and phosphorus.
Continue to hoe and cultivate the
strawberry bed, but do not let the rum
ners set too thickly. Treat all surplus
plants just as if they were weeds.
No combination of chemicals will
exactly take the place of stable manure
since the latter supplies vegetable
matter and certain bacteria The
chemicals and green crops provide a
good substitute.
The little kingdom Of Belgium is
something of an apple orchard. There
were exported last year 36,472,779
pounds of apples, valued at $S15,914.
An abundant crop Is reported this
year, selling on the tree at 4S to So
cents per 100 pounds.

Of scores Of the most daring train rob-
berries and other wrong-doings that
have ever come to light in America.
On a recent Saturday afternoon,
when the clock in the big tower of the
Los Angeles county courthouse stroked
two, there was witnessed a scene the
like of which has not been enacted
in this country since the death of
President Mckinley. AS the body of
Walter Auble, oldest member in point
of active service in the Los Angeles
police department, was being borne
to its last resting place, every man,
woman and child in the angel City"
stood with bowed and uncovered head,
that fitting tribute might be paid to
the memory of an officer who died
while in the performance of his duty.
1t was such a scene as Broadway wit

Modern Dick Turpin.
But to return to the life of Carl d.
Sutherland, scion of honest middle
western parents, who turned BLACK
sheep" and died laughing, jeering,
cursing his ups and downs, relating
his attempts at REFORM" and, finally,
the change in the tide-the turn of
the card-that ended his meteoric
career. 1t is story that is none the
less frank than thrilling, yet one that
almost curdles the blood and leaves
the impression that, after ALL Robert
Louis Stevenson was, perhaps, milder
In his treatment of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde than human nature itself.
Were Jesse James and the score of
other outlaws of his ilk, who robbed
pillaged and murdered in the early
days, alive, they might marvel at the
story OF Carl ID. Sutherland, a modern
Dick Turpin, written before he en-
countered Capt. Auble, laid the fear
less officer low with six shots fired in
rapid succession, then ran away to die
few hours later by his own hand.
1t was addressed to Jack Henderson,
private detective and guardian of
Westchester place, fashionable resi-.

began:

Plaque Taxicab Drivers.

London taxicab drivers have suf-
fered considerable losses recently
through the mischievous pranks Of
street arabs. The young mischief ma
kers pull down the red flag of the tax
meter cab when the driver is not look
ing, and within few seconds 16 cents
is registered against the driver. Some
Of the chauffeurs declare that cabmen
are responsible in many cases for the
mischief. The cabmen fear that the
taxicab drivers will eventually take
away all their patronage. One taxi
cab driver had SIS registered against
him in one day by boy lowering and
raising the red flag.

I'M acters that Byron would
VIZ have put into a Corsair
poem, and around whom
Robert Louis Stevenson would have
woven thrilling romance. The young
bandit himself made a dash at both
these literary bids for fame, but fate
was closing in on him too fast. A
man who really means business about
killing others and then shakes hands
with death itself can better express
himself in deeds than in poetic num-
bers.
The strange, inscrutable, bathing
truth remains that this same despera-
do was of the stuff that genuine he
roes are made of-that his very
crimes traced their inception to qua
lities which, when developed instead
Of perverted, cause other men to be
honored, knighted, sainted and sung
about. He had heart, courage, graft
tude, loyalty to friends and chivalry
toward women. His debut as a bandit
was made out Of boyish admiration
for the train-rObber who had taken his
part against bully. His last thought
was to provide for Che wife whose
love and trust he had never for
feited.
Yes, Carl was a bad man, and de-
served to die. But he owned up to it
without a SWIVEL, and took his medi-
cine more bravely than some better
men might have done.
An amazing story of crime that re-
calls the daring escapades of Jesse
James and the coterie of bandits who
terrorized the whole country a quar-
ter of century ago has just been re-
vealed in Los Angeles, after the muir
der of brave police captain, in the
cold handwriting of the murderer
himself, who died a suicide rather
than be taken prisoner.
Stirred by Recital of Crime.
Not since the old days. when there
were no railroads and men seeking
their fortunes in the far west were
compelled to cross the plains in prai.
RE wagons and stage coaches, has
the entire stretch of country west OF
the Mississippi been so stirred as by
this astounding recital of crime by
one who, in the closing chapter of his
desperate career, penned his own cpl
taph in the following words:
The last fatal moment Is just ahead, and
the bandit knows he will soon be
dead;
How lonesome you must be, when your
finish you see, and you know you
must meet
A violent end. Your past life before you
flies. and a voice within you cries
"Oh. for another chance to mend" But

How Certain Parts of Holy Writ Looks to
One Who Is Capable of Thinking
for Himself.
(By NJ. E. Galke.)

Reading a religious paper lately, some
writer said: The followers of the meek
and lowly, yea are magazines of concealed
white lightning When people acquire
enough spiritual understanding to believe
that of themselves then they will soon be
able to believe that Thomas Paine was a
filthy little infdel, and when people reach
that stage once, then they can wiggle
around any fact and are willing to believe
that with gods help they could wiggle
through and fro the earth all around the
universe, wear the sun for a sunbonnet,
lock the moon in the bottomless pit to keep
the man in the moon from stealing their
bonnet and do all that in less time than it
takes a hen to crow
When they say they believe the Bible
they really mean the men that wrote the
Bible. They ought to try and find out who
and what manner of men they were that
wrote the Bible, since on these men rests
the responsibility as to the truths of Bible
history. Take Moses, for instance, the SUP
posed author of the first five books of the
Bible and consequently the first inspired
writer the man of all men, since on this
man or his authorized bographers state
ments, say the narratives of the creation,
the flood, the ten commandments, the his
tory of the children of Israel up to the time
of his death and burial by god, Christ, or
rather god during his sojourn on this earth
as the son of man, is quoted as referring to
Moses. Now let us see what great deeds
he has performed besides those that are
preached about in the churches.
Taking the Bible for it Num- oh 81 tells
of him as handing 10000 virgins over to
the tender mercies of 1900 warriors of the
lord to do with them they please, after
these obedient heroes had killed the fathers,
down to the little baby brothers,
Of $4,000 virgins at the express command
Of Moses. Just compare Orchards or Mrs.
Guinness records in that line. What a
divine motive for ordering the killing of at
east a 100000 poor unfortunate, helpless
human beings of all ages, just reserving
70, 900 virgins to reward the beastly brutes
hat could debase themselves to do 1t. What
slur on ones own integrity of character
o accept anything, no matter how good or
low bad. from the hands of human being
hat could do that. And yet we are asked
