AT Washington the newspaper cor
respondents are telling the following
story about Representative Walter
Brownlow of Tennessee: Recently he
called up somebody at the White
House. He had fierce time Central"
who tried to get the number for him,
appeared to be inexperienced or
asleep. Mr.. Brownlow, ordinarily the
most patient of men, finally lost his
patience.
Look here" he shouted; quit this
foolishness! Either get me the White
House or give me some place where
may at least talk to my intellectual
equal!'
Silence for moment, and then over
the wire came good loud "Hello!" in
a mans voice
Mr.. Brownlow was much relieved.
What place is this?" he asked.
"The Government Hospital for the
Insane, across the river" came the
answer.
Representative Brownlow is now en-
heavoring to ascertain that central's
name. He wants to have her pro.
NOTED. That's what he says to the
newspaper men.-Judge.

TeStiaE fruit.

The two prime tests are weight
and fragrance. Ripe fruit has a
fresh, ripe Odor which is easily
recognized when attention is
brought to bear upon il. Der
ries, for example, lose this sweet
aroma on growing stale, and
when found without it should be
regarded with suspicion. Ripe
peaches, oranges, lemons, pears,
cantalOupes, etc, are also subtly
fragrant.
Weight is another excellent
test. This applies to the various
kinds of melons, to grape fruit
and oranges. If light beware OF
them. They are either unripe
and pithy or dry and iuiceless.
Melons should be heavy and
not spOngy. The latter means
that they are stale or Oyerlipe.
Cucumbers-which so many
shoppers fail in buying-are new
er at their seldom edible,
in fact-if the rind yields like a
sponge to the pressure of the
fingers.
In selecting muskmelons the
sweetest ones have a roughish
rind. The smooth streaks which
divide the skin into sections
should be yellOwish, not too
green, to get the right degree of
ripeness. Green streaks are 4

A newspaper can never very
creditably represent a town
whose business men do not ad-
vertise. He may howl himself
hoarse Dragging about vim, ener-
gy, and enterprise of his town,
but if his declarations are not
backed up by a liberal amount of
advertising by the business men
of the town-the world will be
slow to take his statement as
true. 1t takes more than the
local newspaper man to prove to
the world that his town is the
financial center, the best market
and the best place on earth to
buy goods; his evidence needs
