because you are a princess said
the sentry briefly.
A wave Of discomfort swept over the
face OF the Princess Susette.
II don't want to be a princess" she
walled. 'They won't let you do nossin'
when you are a princess"
The sentry sat in frozen silence.
The eye Of the princess wandered
back to the lodgekeeper's children
making mud pies by the creek.
II wish 1 could made mud pies" said
her highness wistfully.
The Princess Susette came timidly
out from the gateway and touched the
sentry's hussar boot with a tiny dim
pied hand.
"Mr. Soldier" she said softly, II
wish 1 could make mud pies"
1.-The orders are that nobody can
pass the gate" growled the sentry.
The sweet lips Of the Princess Su-
settle quivered, and the big blue eyes
Of the Princess Susette filled with
tears.
ooh, Mr.. Soldier she sobbed, I'm
such a lonely little girl! l wish l had
some one to play wiz"
The heart Of the Princess Susette
overfowed with woe. Her highness
leaned heavily against the shoulder Of
the big war horse and wept bitter
tears on the sabertache Of the sentry.
The boot Of the sentry was streaked
with royal tears, and the black from
the sentry's stirrup strap begrimed the
face of the princess.
The sentry glared straight out to
the front and center through a
strange mist that dimmed the outlines
of the gatepost opposite.
The gray troop horse bent his head
and softly nozzled the plump, heaving
shoulders Of the unhappy little Prin-
cess Susette.
The light Of an inspiration came In
to the tear stained face of the prin-
cess. She sat down in the middle of
the road and peeled off her shoes and
stockings. The little barelegged maid
in stiff white lawn presented a queer
figure Of a princess as her highness
padded back to the sentry.
Mr.. Soldier" she began tentatively,
but the speech died on her lips. She
had just discovered that making fig
ures in the dust with ones bare toe is
the most, fascinating amusement in the
world. She was recalled from her alb
sorbing occupation BY the distant rat
tie Of pony hoofs. Her nurse was in
pursuit.
The princess looked up eagerly at the
sentry.
"Mr. Soldier!'' she said.
The sentry looked straight out to the
front and center and paid no heed.
mfr. Soldierv!' this in a breathless
panic.
Still the sentry would not look, SO
she gave his leg a vicious pinch.
The sentry's saber. flashed again to
present arms"
"Can l go now?' asked the Princess
Susette.
Nobody can pass" said the sentry
grufly.
The princess looked up at him slyly.
"Mr. Soldier, nursy wouldn't let me
go barefooted because she said only
little nobodies went b~arefooted. I'm
nobody now"
And the Princess susette held up

THE BARRIERS BILL

If lank faced, rawboned, red headed
visitor from the country had been as
green as he looked the above is what
it would have cost him for shave at
the tonsoral emporium at 1S East
street conducted by w. f. Sipes, a
diminutive barber with big financial
ideas.
The visitor, who refused to give his
name to the police, deposited hlmselt
yesterday afternoon in one of Sipes'
chairs and asked for a shave. He was
given the most ceremonious scrape that
he had ever experienced and all was
lovely until with one hand wiping the
surplus powder from his chin and his
other in his pocket he inquired:
How much?'
without the culver of an eyelash the
barber, holding out his hand, replied:
Five thirty"
The visitor refused to pay. and de-
manded specifications. A bill as above
was made out. There was an error of
81 in the addition, but the barber
claimed that also. The customer still
refused to pay and started to leave the
shop. Then three BARRIERS jumped on
him. The visitor was good for six
BARRIERS, and when he did emerge the
were in heap on the floor, the glass in
the front door had been broken and
the shop was IN considerable disorder.
Word was sent to the harbor police
station and there a few minutes later
Sipes was marched by two bluecoats.
At the police sta ton the barber,
against whom there have been other
similar complaints, decided that he did
not want the $3.50 and he was allowed
to go with the warning that his place
would be closed if he was reported
again for overcharging.

FERRY DEPOT DEBT
CAN BE LIQUIDATED
Already Enough Money in Fund
to Clear Building

One of the reasons for the strength
of the state of CALIFORNIA; IS credit was
made manifest yesterday when it was
announced that although the bonds
sold in 1893 to provide funds for the
construction of the ferry depot do not
expire until 1912, there is already
more than enough money in the sink
ing fund to liquidate them. 1t is pro-
posed by the state treasurer, if the
board of examiners will permit and the
holders of the bonds are willing, to
take up the bonds at once.
The bond issue amounted to $500, 900
Every month since they were issued
$4,631 a month has been paid
from the harbor revenues into a sink
ing fund. This sinking fund has been
invested by the state treasurer, and
with the interest earned is now suffi-
cient to retire the bonds. This can
be done, it is believed, at financial
profit to the state, and if it is done it
will relieve this polr of the monthly
payment into the sinking fund.
The state treasurer's report means
that California bonds are better than
gold and that the ferry depot, which
never looked better than it does. to-
day, has been paid in full.

occasion to visit some Of the fruit stores
in Philadelphia and found that the best
grades OF Delaware apples were selling for
better prices than those from Oregon or
from New York. A friend Of mine who
is interested in apple culture in Colorado
advisedlme TO invest in raw land in that
state at 500 per acre, with water rights
to cost another 500. When I told him
that Delaware orchards sometimes yield
from 5000 to $500 per acre in a single year,
he said: "That is as good as we can do

situated as to markets, far ahead Of the

USE BOW AND ARROW
TO HUNT CHESTNUTS
Women and Boys Adopt Prlml-
tive Methods,

Greenwich. Conn, Oct 20.-Hunting
with bows and arrows which has been
unknown in this town since the days
when the Indians flourished here, has
been revived within the last week,
and it is not an uncommon sight when
passing through the wooded sections
in the outlying sections to come upon
hunting parties of men and boys, and
even women, armed in the fashion OF
the aborigines.
This reversion to the primitive has
been taken up for practical purposes
of hunting the shy and elusive chest
nut
The method consists of attaching a
light string to the arrow and shooting
it up over the high branches. At the
END Of the string is attached a rope
When the arrow falls the string is
pulled and the rope drawn over the
branch. It is then easy to shake the
highest boughs Of the tallest trees.

That Delaware leads in apple culture is
attested by Professor c. B. Close, for
merly professor of horticulture of Della
ware, now Maryland's horticuturist. He
says:
Before coming to Delaware l thought
that apples could only grow on clay soils,
and when I saw the Delaware sands l
thought they might do for peaches, but
not for apples. But after a careful study
and observation of what is actually tax
ing place in Delaware, we must admit
that Delaware can produce as good apples
as can be found in any portion of the
country. The greatest surprise Of all is
to see what can be done on the light
sands of this state. You get the flavor
