No one can be long associated with

receive placidly the most blood

cruelest OF laws In the gentlest way

TEL r f A r M
THE HOME FRUIT GARDEN
By p. o. CLARK

You may say that sounds good, but
any small farm could produce all of
these products What would be the
result. Fresh fruit six months out of
the year Nice canned fruit and
preserves the other six months.
The long period of fruiting season
gives plenty of time for canning and
drying.
We now believe that we ought to
have fruit anc the question arises,
How and where shall we raise it?
We must stacy cur soil and buy the
varieties of fruit that are adapted to
the conditions. The soil must be mod
ifec to suit the plant or the plant
must be secured that will suit the
soil. We should never buy a plant I'M
less we know that it is adapted to our
soil.
1t is a fact that some varieties of
peaches and apples will do well on
sandy soil while other varieties re-
quire clay.
In general peaches and grapes sue
coed on loose sandy soils. Plums pre-
fer clay soil while apples require
medium soil. All fruit REQUIRE
that the soil be well drained.
Many of the failures in fruit grow
.ng are due 70 the improper plant
ing of the young trees. They should
be taken out of the nursery In the
fal,, the roots kert covered during
the winter ard sci out in the early
spring.
All decayed and broken roots must
be removed, leaving only smooth cut
surfaces aud healthy roots If a large
part of the root system has been
broken off in transplanting the top
should be cut back in proportion. A
Lar &c root system aud small top
makes a quick growth which is like
water sprout. 1t Is easily broken
and bears little fruit.
A plant With "a large top and small
root system generally dies. The top
and roots should be about equal in
size.

SPOILED A GOOD IMPRESSION.
Final Act OF inmate Of Asylum Gave
Visitor Good Ground for Doubling
His Sanity.


Lew Dockstader tells In the Satur-
day Evening Post of a friend Of his
who visited an insane asylum and
came across an inmate who was walk
ing in the corridor. His friend en-
gagged the inmate In conversation and
discovered him to be most intelligent
person. posted on all the topics OF the
day, with rational ideas about every
thing and no signs of insanity.
you do not seem insane" said the
visitor.
Certainly not" replied the inmate.
Il am perfectly sane. Il am here be-
cause of a plot against me by some
enemies. II could get word to my sis.
ters and brothers would be liberated
at once. Also. would like a word
with my lawyer"
To make sure. the visitor talked for
half an hour with the inmate and. In
the end, was convinced a gross iDjus-
tice was being done. He said: Il will
gladly take a message to your lawyer
or your brother. am sure you are
sane"
IF you WILL" replied the inmate, II
shall be under lifelong obligation TO
you. I am incarcerated here for no
reason. am sane. Please say 10 my
lawyer that you saw me here and that
want him to come at once and see
me so can take steps TO regain my
liberty"
There was some more conversation
and the message was arranged for and
addresses given. After other protesta-
tons OF his sanity and assurances by
the visitor that the outrage would
soon be corrected. the visitor turned
to go. AS he was about to descend
the steps he was hoisted OF his feet
by a tremendous kick and fell into a
flower bed. He turned to see the In
mate grinning at him from the steps.
why did you do that?" shouted the
visitor.
Lest you forget" said the inmate,
shaking a finger at him-"Lest you
forget"

We people of Kentucky are a fruit
loving and a fruit eating people.
And yet we do not raise in the home
garden the amount of fruit needed.
Why do we consider fruit as a lux
ury? Simply because we have not
discovered the fact that We can
all raise fruit and make 1t an eco
nomic food.
Fresh fruit should have a regular
place on the family bill OF fare and 1t
will add greatly to the attractive
ness of the table and the helpfulness
Of the diet.
Work in caring for fruit not only
produces more profit than caring for
corn, out is a more pleasant and
healthful employment. Few of us
eyer receive any real pleasure from
growing corn and as a result we grow
the crop with as little work as posi-
BILE and get only small profit.
With fruit ones interest increases,
more thorough work is done and bet
ter results are obtained.
All farm crops are raised for one
of two purposes, to produce a sal
able product, or supply the home. II
you are raising for the market the
aim should be to produce large
amount of fruit that will ripen at
one time. 1t can be handled in wagon
and car load lots. But for the aver
age farmer the aim should be to pro-
duce q succession OF fruits.
1t is a common mistake to plant a
large number of trees or vines of the
same variety. And of course the fruit
all ripens at the same time, producing
much more than can be used. How
auch better it would be to have
three or four varieties that would rip
en- one after another. Not three or
four varieties of one kind but of sew
eral kinds of fruit.
A general scheme might be sug-
gested, Strawberries, early and late,
Raapberrles, early apples, goose
berries, cherries, early and late APP
pies, black berries, peaches, early
plums, peaches, apples, late peaches
and grapes.

BEREA's MUSIC DEPARTMENT

One of the great advantages OF
Bcrea is its superior work in music,
AMI the opportunities, which are
given at surprisingly low rates, for
young people to become proficient In
singing and instrumental music.
Mr.. Rigby will soon begin his fifth
year as Director of the Music De-
partment. Miss Campbell, who retires
at the end of her third year of ser
vice In order to accept position
nearer her mothers home, has made
a remarkable record in her personal
popularity, and in the great profici-
ency shown by her pupils. She is
succeeded by Miss Ella G. Hill, whose
picture appears this week, and who
comes with the highest reputation as
a teacher of both talent and expert
ence.
The Music Department has receiv-
ed, since Commencement, a most in
teresting gift. Next to MIR. Sankey
and Major Whittle, the most famous
musician in religious lines was Jas.
McGranahan, of Ohio. who like p. p.
Bliss, carried the gospel of song
to all parts of our country and
around the world. The famous firm
of Estes and Co.. made for Mr.. Nc
Granular, a special cabinet organ,
the best that art and skill could pro-
duce, and now that Mr.. McGranahan
iG dead, his widow sends this organ
with these precious memories to
Berea, where it finds its first place
IN the Upper Chapel.
There ought TO be not less than
fifty persons beginning the study of
cabinet organ next fall.

IN WASHINGTON
Continued from First Pas,

At any rate II is evident that he
heard OF the narrowly averted action,
and of the willingness OF the Senate
to let the matter come TO vote. for
on Friday morning he appeared on
the floor Of the Senate and took up
the reins OF power again.
Immediately the air cleared. The
weather cooled down, incidentally.
and the Senate turned TO and did
the best days work OF the session. In
the fore part of the afternoon. Mr..
Aldrich tried to have the Senate
agree TO vote on the amendment at
one O'Clock on Saturday. When he was
resisted by Senator Cummins he took
the bit in his teeth and announced
that he would seek to pass the amend
ment at once. BY evening IL was
assured that the measure would pass
at a touch. A little more than an
hour was consumed In taking test
votes on various different forms Of
the bill. This was to enable the diff
ferent Senator's to show their consti-
tuents just what sort OF bill they
would have preferred to have passed
II their individual form OF II could
have been accepted. Finally at
seven o'clock on Friday evening the
vote was taken which actually indicat-
ed that the Senate was through with
the amendment. The vote was prac-
tically unanimous, only three Demo-
Gratis and eight Republicans voting
against the Presidents proposal.
Sen. Aldrich stated yesterday that
he expects the Senate TO pass the
entire tariff bill on next Saturday.
The general opinion is that the cor
poration tax will be accepted by the
House OF Representatives without
protest or amendment. Unless the
measure 10 repealed within n couple
of years IL seems now clear that
President Taft has scored a victory.
Senator Bradley's amendments to
enable farmers raising tobacco to sell
1t in small quantities without paying
heavy interns1 revenue duties have
not been taken up this week.

Some people find fault when eating
hash because they don't know what is
in 1t. Such souls are simply trying
to dodge happiness. Would anybody
ever start upon Journey II they
knew the cars were going to leave
the track or that the bridge was sure
to collapse? No indeed: Would low
ers OF hash ever order that most
toothsome Wand were IT not for the
delightful uncertainty attached to it
the compelling mystery in which It is
wrapped?
Why be wise when perfect happi-
ness lies in ignorance? Hash has
stood the test of time. and, whatever
1t is made of, history has yet TO place
a calamity at its door. Wine has
caused the head to rise above the
church steeples; pie has ruined the
digestive apparatus, and hot biscuits
have brought the price OF Nightmares
down to a surprisingly low figure: but
hash, plain, regular inoffensive hash.
has gone on down the ages and
left nothing in its wake but food
memory and a sweet taste in the
mouth. Why worry?-Boston Herald.

WHIRL WIND CAMPAIGNA SUCCESS

Most of the Berea teachers who
took part in the WhiFlwind Campaign
for Education thruout the state have
returned, and reported on their trips.
They all found great interest in educa-
ton everywhere on the part of the
best people, but in some cases the
officers had done little to advertise
the meetings and there were very
small crowds. In other places there
is opposition to the new school law,
and people let their objection to the
particular form OF education keep
them from getting the more important
benefits of schooling. In general,
however, the result of the trips were
very encouraging.
Reports from other speakers were
about the same. There was great
enthusiasm everywhere in the state,
and the work of the schools and the
development of educational facilities
has been greatly helped. State Supt
Crabbe deserves the greatest credit
both for having the idea of sending
out speakers, and for his tireless and
skillful work in making the campaign
success. Altogether over a hun
dred speakers took part in the camp
align, and thousands of speeches were
made, every citizen of the state
having at least one chance TO hear
speakers of wide renown.
