tions better in this market than in
points in the East that he recently Wis
tied.
Apples Cleaned Out.-H. s. Emerson
Co. reports the market as cleaned OF
apples, with but few more to come,
mainly Winesaps. First shipments of
apricots and plums are arriving.
Prices of local cherries are reason
able and the supply good. Potato
demand is light for old stock, new po-
tatoes being plenty and relatively
cheap. Berry supply is increasing
and prices are declining. The crop
will be abundant. Some of these will
be shipped to Alaska points as the
season progresses.
Vashon Island Berries.-W. H. Jones
& Co. is handling berries from Vashon
Island and Lake Washington growers.
They will be plenty but he predicts
a short, hustling season. They are
well matured and will soon get their
color this fine June weather. Very
few local cherries are to be had as yet.
PineappIes Coming Forward.-Wm.
Meister reports the receipt of Florida
pineapples and 300 crates from Homo
lulu. Also some Logan berries. Ma
tive asparagus brings good prices, but
the demand will soon cease. Native
cherries are not yet ready to ship free
ly. Berries are now mainly OF the
home supply.
Veal Calves DuII.-Miller Bros. re-
port an over supply of veal calves,
with many arrivals in bad condition;
therefore the market is slow and drag
gy, and they are difficult to handle.
Poultry is between seasons and dull,
which helps depress the market for
veal. There is a limited demand for
young ducks.
Egg Market Strong.-The Reynolds
Produce Co. reports the egg market
strong, with a considerable demand
for Eastern eggs. Potato crop pros
poets are considered excellent by this
firm.
Potatoes Wanted.-James A. Riley
wants potatoes. He has last chance
for Burbanks of good stock. There
are lots of cheap spuds, but few good
ones are to be had now, and 1t is
this class that is wanted. Hay is
quiet at the present time.
Prices Some LoWer.-J. r. Burch, OF
Burch Bros, reports that prices OF
poultry are somewhat lower than a
year ago. The supply has been good
and the demand active for the Alaska
trade. Broilers have been in active
demand at good prices. Capons have
good but limited demand at about
one-third higher rates than other poul-
try. This market has not been well
worked up for this class OF poultry.
The home supply of eggs is not equal
to the demand.
dollhouse Tomatoes.-A. d. Blowers
& Co. handle some dollhouse tomatoes.
The market is short on Florida and
Mississippi tomatoes, owing to the
washouts on the railroads. Some cars
have been taken over by the railroad
companies because of damages sus-
tanned in transit. Floridas are In far
better condition than Mississippis this
season. The heaviest crop OF berries
from this state is now coming FOR
ward. There is an over supply OF
cherries for the market. California
apricots, peaches and plums are ar.
irving in excellent condition and good
supply for the season. There will be
more fruit sold for less money this
season than last.

MEMORIAL DAY.
How IT is Observed in the South.

n N the North they sometimes call
1t Decoration Day, but in the
South it is always Memorial Day.
Both have the same meaning,
however, to the old soldiers of the
country, who remember the dark
years of the early part of the six
ties, and Memorial Day In the South
is being more generally observed
each year, for the custom is being
handed down from the veterans
themselves to organizations of
their sons, who join in the process
ions and take their part in the beau
tifying of the cemeteries. Each year
finds thousands of those who wore
the gray uniforms falling in line on
Memorial Day, to tramp perhaps
three or four miles in order to pay
this annual tribute, not only to their
dead comrades, but to many of the
men in blue who were buried near
the scenes where they fought.
The United Confederate Veterans,
which is the main organization of
the old soldiers of the South, still
number about 10000 in camps scat
tered all the way from Maryland to
Texas. In recent years many of the
largest camps situated near burial
grounds of Union soldiers have re-

For number of years past the
hundreds of graves of unknown dead

In Forbidden Places.

A very large mastiff at one end
of a leash and a very small girl at
the other end formed combination
which attracted the attention of q
casual pedestrian in a quiet side
street.
The little girl doubtless thought
that she was taking the dog out for
an airing, but the big animal himself
appeared to have the impression that
he was the leader of the expedition,
and, beyond question, the balance Of
power was entirely on his side. He
dragged the girl along. despite her
scolding and expostulation, at pace
which kept her breathless.
Suddenly, either from whim Of
his own or because somebody had
been in the habit of taking him there.
he darted through the swinging doors
OF a corner saloon. The girl look
ed Mortified, but, clinging determined
ly to her end of the leash, she fol-
lowed her charge. and as the doors
swung shut behind her the casual
pedestrian heard this exasperated re.

A LITTLE STUDY IN TIPS.
Young Men Going Counting the Bar

Young Men Going Counting the Bar
ber's Best Customer.
More from young men before they
are married than after" said the COM
municative barber, talking about tips,
"and most from young men who are
going counting. This doesn't mean,
you understand, that single young
men are more generous with tips than
married men are, but simply that
they come In oftener when single and
so leave more money.
"A young unmarried man who Is 60
Ing counting goes to see his girl two
or three times week, or very likely
oftener, and of course he must always
go spick and span and clean shaver.
Now very probably this young man
shaves himself and does this common
ly after he gets home at the end Of
the day before he goes out In the eve
ming.
But now suppose he should be de-
tanned at the store or the Office so
that he wouldn't have time to shave
at home before going out, for it
wouldn't do for him to be late where
he is going. He knows how his work
is running and whether he is going to
be detained at that OF not, and IL he
finds he is going to be, why then, he
sneaks out In the course of the day
when things let up a little, time
enough to run in to the BARRIERS AMI
get shaved before he goes home. Or
for that matter 1t may be that he is
going out with mis- girl that evening
and so wouldn't have tried to shave
after he got home even IL he got there
at his regular time.
$50 the young man who commonly
would shave himself may, when he is
going counting, run In to the BARRIERS
to get shaved two or three times a
week, and of course he leaves tip
every time, but after he's married he
doesn't come In so often. Not that
he takes any less care of himself then,
is less careful about his appearance,
but then he is going to his own home,
where 1t is permitted to him to shave
at such hour as may be most conven-
lent to him.
"Of course whether single or mar
ried a man can't cut his own hair
and so the man married still comes
in regularly to get his hair cut, but
not nearly so often as before to get
shaved, and so 1t is from the young
unmarried man, and this when he is
going counting, that we get the most
tips."-New York Sun.

tumultuous rout. Blazer, of course,
had to go with them. He made an
attempt when he reached the village
of Myerstown to rally the fugitives;
but in vain; they kept on in head

"Blazer rode a feet horse and was

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

He crossed Potomac's raging flood
And rested midst the Frederick farms.
But Barbara Frietchies palsied hand
Meier waved a Union flag that day;
And jackson, leading his command,
Passed through another street and way.
Where Fredericksburg lies on the plain
He dealt swift and deadly blow,
And drove an army back again
Whose blood encrimsoned winters snow.
Then came the fatal Tenth Of May;
And as he rode outside his line,
A hasty volley from the Gray
Came e'er they heard the countersign.
Wounded to death, yet patient, calm,
They bore him from the battlefield;
He blessed his baby with the arm
That nevermore a sword should WELD
A Christian pure, a hero strong.
