This Hen a Wonder: Red Bank

Red Bank. Mrs. Applegate was as
founded to find twelve eggs in the
hens nest last Thur ~ shutdown.
Mrs, Apologize, gasping, stared at the
hen; the hen looked at Mrs. Apologize
as if saying, Tn rather fruitful, eh?'
Mrs. Apologize began to laugh and she
laughed until she cried. Then, laugh
ing and crying alternately, she got hys-
terical and her family called in Or.
Sayre, who Quoted her with bromides
of sidium and potassium.
No collapse threatens the
hen. She preserved her mental poise
and, attending to business strictly, laid
seven more eggs during Thursday
night. She kept up a continuous per-
Torrance during all day Friday;
twelve eggs were the outcome.
The hen has no pride of ancestry.

Declares Stage Today Worse
Than 1t Was in Period
Before Christ.
RI. REV. JOHN M. FARLEY
DEPLORES THEATRE VOGUE
Asserts that Cider People Are
Leading Younger Ones Into
Wicked Influences.
Especial to the Evening start

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-"The stage is
worse today than it was in the days Of
paganism," said Archbishop Farley in
his sermon in st. Patrick's Cathedral
yesterday. He preached on the infu-
ence of bad example, and deplored the
habits of older men and women who
inspired the youth to follow their lead
We see today men and women-old
men and old women-who ought tc
know better, Bringing the young to
these orgies Oh obscenity," he said.
Instead of that they should be exer-
cising a supervision over the young
and should look carefully after their
companionship.''
The archbishop took for his text The
words concluding the morning Gospel.
Many are called, but few are chosen .
and he gave al Interpretation OF une
sentence that differed somewhat from
the old accepted meaning.
1t is a warning and not a menace
exclaimed the archbishop. TT is not
intended to drive to despair, but to in
spire to love. While love is a strong
motive for mans faith, he, neverthc-
less, requires the spun of fear to keep
him in thf right path.
The old preachers taught us that we
must work out our destiny in fear and
trembling" he continued. "They wanted
us to believe that we must live unde-
flied, if we are to be saved. But whore
are we to find any who have lived in
accordance with the precepts of God?
All about us we have the men and
women who are setting evil examples.
Men hoary with age are often found
inspiring with evil the minds of the
young. They go to the public places
and to the theatres in shamelessness
n they bring with them youngsters
who cannot escape corruption"

What's the Use

Il was scared one alright enough"
said o. n. Morris the driver of the big
freight team that makes regular trips
over the summit and down Smoky
valley Il had on ton of giant
powder, fifty cases of gasoline, several
boxes of caps and a lot of fuse. Just
the other side of Spencers, there came
up one of the hardest thunder storms
that ever slid off the Toiyabes. I, with
ain Irishman. who was beating a ride
with me, had to stop the team and find
shelter under the big wagon.
"The lightning was ripping the pine
trees off the mountains and the thunder
we'll nigh stampeded my fourteen horse
team. Ny mind was on that ton of
power and with every lightning flash,
felt like a sailor OH battleship that
had just been torpedoed. Pat was
silent. I could not make out what he
was thinking about and was too scared
to ask him. Finally bolt of lightning
plunged from the clouds and struck in
the valley not 500 yards away. The
sand and gravel was thrown into the
air as if dynamited The crack of the
thunder shook the wagon and split our
ears
I was just turning to Pat to ask him
what he was thinking about, when our
eyes was blinded by another fash.
This time the gravel and sagebrush
were kicked up not more than $50 yards
away. The thunder clap that followed
made it impossible for anyone to think,
so shook Pat by the shoulder and
cried out: pat, Say your Prayers"
What's the use, replied Pat. Saint
Peter is busy with the range finder.
It will be center shot next time I'm
obliged to you for the ride. Reese

Very Sad Accident

Joe Taber received letter Friday
afternoon from NJ. W. Conway. his
clerk, dated at Twin Falls, Idaho, con.
veying the sad news of the death of his
brother, J. w. Conway, near Contact,
Nevada, May 31st.
The letter stated that his brother was
kicked in the chest by one of the horses
and instantly killed Chris. Schoerer
who was with the brothers helped put
the body of the unfortunate young man
into the wagon and it was taken to
Twin Falls, Idaho, for interment.
u. w. Conway came here from Utah
about the 18th of of last month to visit
his brother and to make a prospecting
trip with him through the Contact dis
trict. He was young man of splendid
physique, about 81 years of age. The
brothers bought a fine team of. Bert
Rockwell ind fitted out prospecting
outfit. and on the 9th of May started
out with high hopes Of success. Chris.
Schoerer, u tailor, accompanied them
from Contact and was with them at the
time of the accident.
During his brief stay here, the young
man made many friends whose hearts
are breaking over the news Of his I'M
timely death and the great sorrow that
came so suddenly to the brother and
other relatives All of them tender
their sincere sympathies to the bereaved
family.
The sudden death of this young man
brings forcibly to mind the uncertain
ties of life. A few days ago he was
among us in full vigor of his young man
hood; few days later death overtakes
him on one of Nevada's lonely deserts
and today the clods of neighboring
state cover his remains. Verify, death

orchards in Washington, Idaho, Ore
gon and British Columbia. When
this export trade is firmly establish
ed, as 1t will be in a few years, the
demands upon the growers will be
largely increased. This means more
new orchards, and better care of the
older ones.
That apple-growing in the north
west has passed the experimental
stage and is already a factor, may
be gathered from official statements.
More than 100000 growing trees
were reported by the horticultural
inspectors in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho at the close Of the season of
1908, and of these 6,744,161 bore
fruit that year. The total crop
reached an estimated value of from
10000 900 to 2o,ooo,ooo Wash
ington, with 2,925,824 producing
trees, was seventeenth in the list in
number Of trees and second in pro-
ductiveness. Oregon had 2,825,98S
bearing trees and Idaho reported
982,349 trees in fruit When the
| other trees now growing come into
| bearing in 1912, it is estimated the
yield will be about 100000 BUSH
els, or 100000 bushels more than
the total crop of the United States
in 1908, equal also to the wheat
yields of the three states that year.
Washington had 5,332,097 apple
trees at the beginning of the sea-
son, during which 100000 were set
out, with more than 100000 con-
tracted for to be planted In 1909.
Oregon had 100000 and set out
1000, 900 more, while Idaho report
ed 100000.
THE APPLE IS THE NATIONAL
FRUIT OF AMERICA. This can
| hardly be questioned in face of the
fact that in hotels, restaurants, re-
sorts, trains, steamers and homes
the fruit is served throughout the
year. But while there are apples
everywhere apparently, the supply is
not sufficient to go around, and, as a
result there must be many places
where an apple is regarded more of a
luxury than it should be.
Ambitious apple growers in the
northwest and elsewhere saw more
attractions In the National Apple
Show than the premiums offered by
the management They believe 1t
will prove its greatest success from
an educational viewpoint.
One or two Of our prominent We
natchee citizens have volunteered a
list Of names Of those who are cap
able Of buying. OF course, this list
| Is not at all complete and omits
many, but we hope to add them from
time to time nevertheless. However.
