Among the visitors to the Morgan's
Grove fair last week was u. A. Harrison,
of the well-known firm of ]. q. Harrison
& Sons, nurserymen,of Berlin, Md. He
was accompanied by Jacob r. Edmonds,
their local representative, OF Hagerstown.
Mr.. Harrison is a firm believer in the
wonderful possibilities of this section as
a fruit-growing region, and talked inter
estingly about the apple orchards OF the
valley. He had just returned from an in
spection of several of the large CONNER
cial orchards of the Winchester neighbor-
hood, and said that it was a common
sight to observe trees there bearing from
eight to ten barrels of apples each. He
stated that he had seen number OF trees
that produced the enormous yield of fif-
teen barrels each. Mr.. Harrison thinks
that our landowners will do well to
plant many more orchards, but advises
that scrupulous attention be given to
their culture and protection from natural
enemies.

Since that hour he had had until noon to-day, but one hours sleep. but in the meantime all but 121 of the phones had been re- stored. Bertilson hopes to have the re- mainder in use before tomorrow morning, and will, he says. unless a heavy rain should fall, to prevent men working in the manholes. Men were called in from Danbury and New Ha- ven to assist in the work. A good deal was done yesterday to help business houses by making special connections, after the method which telephone re- eairers call gong around trouble"

The Forbidden Fruit.

l. The botanical curiosities of the is- land of Ceylon are replete with varied interest. One of them is 'the forbid den fruit" or ''Eve's apple tree" It's native name is diwi kadura, kadura signifying forbidden" and diwi "h- gers" The flower of this extraordi- nary production is said to emit fine scent. The color of the fruit, which hangs from the branches in very pc euliar and striking manner, is very beautiful, being orange on the outside and deep crimson within. The fruit itself presents the appearance of hay ing had a piece bitten out of it. This circumstance. together with the fact of it's being a deadly poison, led the Mohammedans on their first discovery of Ceylon, which they assigned as the site of paradise, to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the garden of Eden, for, although the finest and most tempting in appearance of any. it had been impressed. such was their idea. with the mark of Eyes having bitten it to warn men from meddling with a substance possessing such ncxious properties.

 Chicago, June 4-When Patten's wheat corner ended, life had no more interest for H. c. Mottached one of his chief clerks and adviser To-day he is dead, suicide. Two months ago the clerks health began to fail and his employer sent him to a sani- tarium- He showed little or no inn provement until Patterns wheat cor ner began to make history Then Mottached's melancholy began to lift. He watched the market eagerly. Last Saturday Patten closed his corner and retired a victor Saturday Mot tached rejoiced with him. Sunday his old melancholy began to return. Tuesday and Wednesday he wandered about disconsolately, unable to occu- py his mind. The wheat market was featureless. Yesterday Mottached went to his room and shot himself dead with one bullet.

humor In Advertising.


 It is agreed on all sides that as a rule humorous advertisements are to be avoided Business Is business, and the businesslike ad. is the one that counts. Nevertheless it is interesting to come upon an odd, amusing or out of the ordinary specimen-for instance. that of the photographer who made a spe- cialty of baby photographs. His ad- vertisement read:
 Bring your dear little babies. If they don't sit still I won't get cross. I was a baby once myself.-
 What is especially rare is to find an advertiser who will exhibit any candor about the negative qualities of his goods. It is all the more refreshing, then, to peruse the announcement of an innkeeper in one of the smaller states who was evidently burning with a desire to tell the exact truth about his establishments:
 Mot the largest hotel in the town not newly furnished throughout, nc free bus to train, not the best grub the market affords, but simply clean beds and good food, 25 cents to sleep, 2E cents to eat. Toothpicks and ice water thrown in.. Try us. Pay up. And ii not satisfied keep mum!.-London An sWers.

His Advice,

A young genius named Mccarthy went to Commodore Vanderbilt and gave him a suggestion which led the commodore to organize all the little railroads between New York and Chi cago into one. Before Mccarthy went to Vanderbilt he went to a friend for advice Here is what his friend told him about the commodore:
 Don't let him scare ye. He's as full of power as a turbine. Has q good deal O whir in him. Likes re- sistance: so does every great force. He's fought a thousand difficulties. He'll take you for another an pitch into ye, like as not Don't let him scare ye. If he jumps on ye, jump on him. He'll enjoy 1t an begin to re- spect ye. It's like putin a belt on the turbine-you1l take off bit of his power and ease him down."-Denver News.

CIRCUS IS COMING
 TO THIS TOWN WITH PAGEANT AND CLOWN
Billers Today Proclaim the Glad News With Posters of Color and Marvellous Views
There are @ Who Walk Upon Feet in
 the Air and 50 Who Ride in a Man' z ner to Scare Every Small Boy and
 Matron With Money to Spare to Reach
 tife Big Tent and the Elephants There

Save your pennies Willie Smallboy. a circus is coming. Not one of those dyspeptic affairs, but a six-fold az gregation that requires S5 double length railroad cars to transport.
 And there will be 40 big, good natur- ed elephants. a family of giraffes that are tall enough to gaze in the second story window, a chimpanzee that smokes a pipe and slaves in front of a mirror, and goodness knows what else.
 The first brigade of billers arrived in town last night in a special car and this morning busted themselves dec- orating the bill- boards with posters that elicit the marvels in store for those who visit Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows" Friday, June 20.
 This season the quintet of brothers have the largest circus in the world They employ 1,2s0 men. women and children; carry $50 horses, 1OS cages of rare wild animals and exhibit in the largest tents ever constructed. The programme is one of originality, nov city and artistic complet eness. All of the 375 performers were picked from the foremost talent of the old world
 The sixty riders are headed by the Hodgini; the sixty aerialists have as their feature the ten Jordens, whose act fairly fills the arena with flying forms; chief among the trained anil
 mai acts is that of the Schumann horses, six of which drink from large
 glasses, smoke pipes and roll each other about in huge beer casks; Kea- ley's elephants that telephone, talk ing with one another. from the front to the rear end of the big tent. From Germany have come the Ar thur Saxon Trio. These giants of muscle do everything from juggling 25C pound weights to lying on their backs and supporting huge structure over which is driven an auto car carrying six passengers.
 And, above all, for the limit of dar- ing, is the double somersaulting auto mobile. This act consists of a me- teor-like descent of ponderous ma chine in which Mile. La Belle Roche is carried into space, where her char ger turns two complete revolutions be- fore crashing upon the hfppodrome track and spending it's mad race. The parade. too, is pade up of feat ures novel to circus pageantry. There are over three miles of it, and the investment represented by the cost ly dress and trappings would buy the entire outfit of any other show.

Danger In Eye PouItiess.

Do not poultice an eye tn any cir cumstances whatever. Binding wet application over an eye for several hours must damage that eye. the as- sertions of those protesting to have personal experience in this to the con trary notwithstanding. The failure to aggravate an existing trouble by bind ing moist application over an infiam- ed eye, which application is supposed to remain for an entire night, can only be explained by the composition that a guardian angel has watched over that misguided case and has displaced the poultice before 1t had got in it's fine work All oculists condemn the poul- tice absolutely, in every shape and in every form. Tea leaves. bread and milk, raw oysters. scraped beef. scrap ed raw tuEnip or raw potato and the medley of other similar remedies popu- larly recommended are one and all ca- pablo of producing irremediable dam age to the integrity of the tissues of the visual organ.-Famfly Doctor.
