have been a repetition of the cowardly murder of Bill Poole, who was assassi- hated by Lew Baker and a mob in a Broadway cafe years ago.
 When Jack Dempsey was returning east after his first trip to the Pacific coast. his train stopped at a water tank station in Montana, and wild western bull puncher swinging a big cannon, hopped aboard demanding to see the pu- gilist. Jack tried to he himself from the desperado. but the gun man dug Jack out and asked him to leave the train to have a ball. At first Dempsey refused, but after the bull puncher held his cooked revolver at Jacks head he con- sented. It was tough looking bar and the booze was still tougher. so Jack thought he'd have some soft stuff.
 Not on your lifei It's red eye or diep yelled the desperado. While Demp- sey kept on making excuses for not drinking the fierce liquor. the bartender suddenly grabbed the gun and struck the bull puncher over the head with it. Then he jumped over the bar and threw the would-be man-killer out of the joint. Dempsey laughed then and said he only got off the train to save trouble he was one fighter who would not back water for any gunner, and I've seen him in some very tight fixes, but he was always dead game.
 Fitz Met Tartar.
 "One of Bob Ftzsimmons' little jokes is to get some friendly fellow to box with him for the fun of the thing, shoot over a punch on the point of the jaw and put his man partially to sleep. He has worked this gag many times and has en- poyed it hugely. But he ran up against a Tartar one time in Capt. Joe Early. who was Cal McCarthy's old packer and man. ager. Fitz, in rare good humor one day, invited Early to put on the gloves with him, and the nimble little captain agreed on the condition that the Cornishman would not hit hard.
 After boxing bit Fftz shot over a rather stiff left and Earlys brain became so rattled that he heard a million birds singing in his ears. It was what Fitz called a mild knock out but when Early came to in about three minutes, he whipped out his gun and Ruby Robert took to his heels with the littN captain In full pursuit Fitz was the faster runner, but he didn't escape before two bullets whistled within few inches of his top piece.
 These bloomin' guns are too fast for me, said Fitzsimmons day later; be- sides. when they land it's a real knock out with no come back!

My experience in the treatment of chronic diseases has been extensive and varied. have been in general practice since 18S0 q United States pension exam finer for a number of years health of- fcer and member of municipal board of health and president of County Medical society.
 My treatment is not a patent medicine or a cure-all, but 1t is 2 treatment that will be prescribed especially for your particular case after careful diagnosis of your condition.
 True, it will contain oxygen to kill deadly germs that infect your blood and tissues. It gives vitality to the red blood corpusoles and fills you with vim and vigor. but 1t Is death to bacteria and disease germs.
 My treatment will contain artificial nerve force. which is the nearest ap- proach to natural living nerve force that ever has been discovered. It is truly marvellous how this artificial ,nerve force takes the place of the natural nerve force and gives you wonderful strength and power. My treatment will also contain special remedies carefully prescribed to suit your particular condition.
 In my varied experience in treating chronic diseases, I have had every op- portunity to study various methods and kinds of treatment, and I can honestly and conscientiously tell you that I have never seen any treatment which l. be- 1ieve compares with the treatment which | am in position to offer you I do not feel that it is fone word stronger than the absolute truth.

 Didn't Like Gunsmiths.
 Sullivan like all fist fighters. never liked gunsmiths. When he fought Mc- Caffrey in Cincinnati, he might have knocked Dorninick out had not the lat ter's brother threatened to shoot him several times during the six rounds. It was only the assurance that Billy OBrien gave Sullivan that no harm would come to him that kept John in tho ring, for every time he got peep at the gun McCaffrey's brother had he wanted to call the fight off. At one time the gun man jumped Into the ring-I think 1t was in the third round-and, holding 1t under Sullivans nose, threatened to blow his head off, This little gunplay. of course. was dead wrong, but 1t surely took all the fight out of Sullivan, who was afraid to sail In with his usual heavy punches.
 There was another time l saw Sulll- van sidestep a gun fighter. It was the night that Charley Mitchell made his first appearance here by outpointins Mike Cleary Sullivan sat near the ring and kept catching Cleary. A man named Kenny, who sat in front of Sullivan, ob- jected to the latter's subcellar voice. which was ringing In his ears. and sev- eral times he asked oJohn to keep quiet Sullivan's answer was finally swing at the jaw Kenny quickly jumped out of harms way and whipped out a gun. Billy O'Brien, who had saved John at Cincinnati, jumped between them and gave Sullivan a chance to run out of the hall.
 Billy Tracey. who killed Kid Miller on Broadway many years ago, once got on Sulivans trail, and if he had over- hauled the big fellow he'd have put him away as sure as you're alive. Tracey stood by Sullivan the night he fought John Flood on a barge in tho Hudson river opposite Yonkers. The New York gang were all with Flood and they didn't intend to ses him walloped. There was job framed up to cut the ring ropes and throw Sullivan in tho river in case he was too much for Flood.

chagrin of Two Young Women Whs

From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
 It isn't always safe to trust appear ances, as two young women learned to their chagrin on a trolley trip
 Two other young women with a man between them were seated ont the op- posite side of the car. They were a silent three; the young women and the man, but they talked excitedly-with their fingers, Deaf mutes, evidently. the other young women thought, and after they had got a little used to the novelty they began to talk out loud about the young man and his companions.
 Isn't 1t pity" said one, that such a nice young man should be deaf and dumb ?"
 The other agreed audibly and the talk went on As is the way with the sex, there was little commiseration for the young woman afflicted as the young man was.
 The young man got his revenge for himself and his friends. Arriving at the point he wished to debark he raised his hand to the conductor and said in . loud voice:
 Stop at - street, please"
 The young women who trusted to appearances looked mighty sheepish as the three left the car The young man wasn't deaf and dumb at all. His companions were, and he was simply talking to them in their own lan- guage, which he knew.

HOMESICKNESS OF RACHID

From Harpers Magazine
 I was awakened in the night by some one sobbing by the tent door.
 Who is that?' I called.
 There was no answer; but presently heard Aboosh whispering in soothing way. Again demanded to know the cause of this grief.
 Tt is Rachid." Aboosh answered; he is homeslck for his mother.'
 Poor Rachoidl
 ''Rachid asks me to say" Aboosh con- tinued, after an interval through which the wretched boy had sobbed and spok- en and chattered Gin the cold night air) "that he wishes the khawa1a to sleep, dreaming of him as smiling in the light of the khawaja's favor"
 I promised Rachid this indulgence.
 "He has never before been from home," said Aboosh. Interpreting, "and is much surprised; the width of these plains has frightened him, and he wishes for the buildings of some city"
 Provide him." said l. distressed, with sufficient to return to Jerusalem
 There was then a great whispering without. I detected in the voice of Aboosh a deal of admonishment: he was a person most fatherly to the unfortu- nate (because of the exhausting experi- ences of his youth), but was now hardly more than a man grown. Rachid pro- tested; he had forgot, it seemed, the wish for his mother.
 "Comef' l cried, impatient.
 He will persist" Aboosh answered.
 But why" I complained, 'if he is to continue unhappy?'
 Aboosh laughed softly Q "Well?" said l.
 q cannot tell you in English; the young man has spoken his answer in rhyme"
 You can try"
 "Ie says" Aboosh reported. labori- ously, 'that though the walls of a room are like the arms of a mother in the night a distant adventure Is like the lips of some yelled woman, observed In pass ing"

 "But why, sir" Aboosh asked, puzzled.
 I was glad to stand by the spirit of poetry and to welcome the pursuit of romance in youth; but this I could not explain.
 "He wants," said Aboosh, in bewilder- ment, ''only to see the lights of Cairo"
 Let him see the lights of Cairo" I answered. in a way to leave open no re- ply.
 That was the end of it; Aboosh went to bed, leaving Raohid to curl up under his mat again, shivering in the night air sufficiently to make any other poet, however exalted above gross comfortable things, willing to exchange a rhyme for the warmth of a rug and an enclosed room. But l was troubled; it seemed to me. after all, that the adventure of this poet-cast unknowing into the greedy world of Cairo-would result disastrously.

The FUTURE OF
APPLE CULTURE

In writing of the Culture Of Apple
Culture" Mr.. 9. S. Stowell, of lin
ber Valley, Klickitat County, says:
There Is a prevalent impression, far
more general than it ought to be,
that the large annual increase of the
acreage devoted to apple orchards
will result In over production. This,
in common with most other popular
errors, is an absolutely bsseIess as
sumption due to the statistical iguor-
ance OF it's adherents.
Modern hygenic research has clear.
" demonstrated that the apple Is not
to be classed as luxury, but as y
positive necessity, and is, or should
be, an indispensable item of the daily
food of every household, and many
people are rapidly recognizing the
fact that few dollars expended on
apples will effect saving OF many
dollars On drugs. Even amongst the
Oriental nations of Asia there is a
steadily growing demand for apple
and il the inhabitants OF these
countries, who for centuries have
subsisted mainly on vegetarian
diet, deem 1t expedient to supple
ment their own luscious tropical
products with the noblest fruit OF the
temperate zones, common sense
would suggest that the meat-gorgiOe
Amigo Saxon races should emulate
their wise example and modify the
ghastly oonglomerstion of bleacheC

we persistentiy load our unfortunate
stomachs, and not expect those muof
abused receptacles, when they finally
refuse to do the work of rocl
cIusher, to became rejuvenated by
oopious drauPhts OF dubious "dys
pepsia cures" and abominable "tab
let's"

cents for single "fve tier" Spitz-
does not seem to predicate any dan
ger of planting too many apple trees.
In 1896 the total product OF the
apple crop of this country was 69,
O70,000 barrels or 1T, ,675, 900 bushels.
Since then hundreds of thousands OF
acres have been added and methods
of fruit growing have been improved,
yet "he government reports show that
IN 1908 the aggregate crop was not
more than 25,000,000 barrels or 62la
million bushels Most of the middle
Western aud Eastern states reported
small yields in 1908 due to failures
in numerous instances, but generally y
because of insect pests
Many orchards are neglected and in
scores of places the trees were per
mitted to perish for lack of care and
attention. Had it not been tor the
enormous crops of the Pacific and
Northwestern states and provinces
last year an apple famine would have
resulted. Should this state of affairs
continue for the. next decade, bott
( the United States and Canada will
have to import apples instead of ex
porting them.

A Fortunate Surprise.

James Neal of Cohoctah, recently
killed a fox after tracking the animal
for three consecutive days. Upon
examination of the fur it was dis.
covered that the fox was not an or
dinary one and the hide was sent to
Detroit by a friend who in a few days
wrote back that he had been offered
$3.50 for the pelt by a furier and fol
Mr.. Neal to come down and look after
it as he did not like to have so valuable
fur lying around his Office Mr. Nea,
went down to the city and succeeded in
selling the skin for enough money sc
that himself and his two companions
who helped make the chase got $l5(
apiece out of the deal.
The fox was large gray one which
has a very beautiful colored fur from
which is made the most expensive
muffs and furs. The hunters did mo-
anticipate the value of their catch wher
the animal was first shot Howell Re
