LAKE CITY'S LIGHTS
AND SHADOWS.
HORTICULTURAL HINTS--TEACH-
ERS ELECTED-AUTO RUNS INTO
BUGGY--PERSONA

Ruth Burns, whose home is IN
Charleston, visited at Mrs Maria
Sutcliffe's last week.
Miss Kate Burch, daughter of Mr.
ES Burch of Florence, returned
home Saturday from a visit to her
Auncle, Mr. J f Burch. She was ac-
companied home by her cousin, Miss
Katrine Burch.
Mr. H P Epps is catching on to
the right way to treat peach trees,
if one wants to have nice fruit.
Last winter he scraped the soil away
from the roots and stumps of the
trees all around. Every worm re-
yealed on the trees or roots, or IN
the earth, was destroyed. Then
ashes, hardwood preferred, were
poured around the trees and this
covered nicely. In addition to this
close pruning was practiced. The
result is that he has as fine peaches
as can be grown anywhere. We
say this from personal inspection
and 'introspection-" They are hne
to look at and fine to feel within.
His trees produced some fruit that
weighed as high as ten ounces each,
and four weighed together tipped
the balance at two pounds-one-hait
pound each, and not a worm or
blemish of any kind.
Mr. DR. Gregg came. over from
Hebron, Florence county, Thursday
and spent the day in town on busf-
ness.
The rains, which have been paying
almost or quite daily visits to this
section. have played somewhat un-
usual freaks. The crops Of certain
neighborhoods have been drowned
out while other communities near at
hand have received but little rain in
comparison. This difference is mark
edly noticeable on plantations sepa-
rated by only a half-mile in some
instances. We could name farmers
>who will make almost nothing, while
heighbors who live almost in rifle
Arange, will reap fairly good har-
vests. And this situation exists IN
instances which cannot be attributed
to anything else than the discrmina-
tan practiced by the watery clouds.
MrJE Burch treated us to bot
tie of that nice homemade, sealed
while-hot. ribbon cane syrup a few
days ago. 1t was as fresh as If put

FRUIT NOT DESTROYED.

Door County Escapes Entire Loss
from Recent Cold Spell.
Door County, the greatest fruit-grow-
ing center in the State of Wisconsin,
its cherry orchards being the largest
in the Northwest, escaped any serious
damage by the recent storm and cold.
D. E. Bingham, member of the exec
Society, and A. w. Lawrence, Jr., pres
ident of the Door County Fruit EX-
change, unite in this statement: THE
recent severe storm that swept over
the State, injuring the fruit in most
all portions, has not caused any injury
in the Sturgeon Bay region, the late
ness of the season in this region caus-
ing the buds to be not far enough ad
yanced for any injury to occur. Straw
berries are entirely safe, the buds not
showing up enough to cause any dam
age. Cherries will not be in bloom
jured. Apples are safe, not being far
enough advanced; even the Japanese
plums escaped Although the storm
was very severe, the thermometer did
not register below 26 degrees. The
cold, cloudy weather following the Sc
we're storm, and the heavy rains fol-
lowing the snow, is what saved our
fruit buds. The prospects are as good
as ever for good cherry crop and ber-
ry crop, and Door County exf ~sss to
harvest as large as usual"

TRACING A LOST DOG.


He was, first of all, a lovable puppy,
and second, he had fine pedigree.
Either reason was enough for conster-
nation to spread throughout the house
when it appeared that he was gone.
The last person VINO had seen him, the
nurse-maid, said that he was playing
down the street with that big dog next
door. At any rate, he was lost, and it
was necessary to search A writer in
the Galveston News relates the story.
Under the house, just before we got
well started, we found the feathers of
a chicken we had long believed safely
inferred. Fragments of a napkin that
had blown from the clothes-line show
ed that the puppy had been there or
Whereabouts, but the pup himself was
not in sight
Out in the alley we found where, in
his innocent play, he had carried the
cooks best apron and made strings of
it. Poor little dog! He had to have
something to amuse himself with.
Our neighbor, Mr.. Burns, came to
the back fence and rested his coatless
arms on it.
Have you seen our dog?" we asked
him. Mr.. Burns considered.
What sort O. dog was hep" he
asked. GA little, fea-bit mongrel with
a stub tail?"
We Indignantly replied that he was
a fox terrier with a pedigree as long
as the laws of the Modes and the Per
slams.
81 saw him." said Mr.. Burns. "He
chased two of my settin' hens off tn
nest and busted half the eggs. If ever
I ketch-"
Which way did he go?" we asked.
Mr.. Burns smiled grimIy.
Last see of him." he said, che was
travelin' due west, an half brick was
follerin him pooty clost."
They had seen him at the drug store.
He had managed to get his head
caught in jar, and had frightened an
old woman so badly that the doctor
had to be called just because the dog
approached her without removing the
jar.
Have you seen our little dog?" we
asked the grocer down the street.
IF he was yourn," said the grocer,
you owe me for a whole cheese. Some
little snub-tailed beast ate the wood
off a new cheese and got into it before
we saw him."
THAT wasn't our dog" we assured
him, "Our dog hates cheese-won't
stay in the house with it, in fact. But
which way did that dog go?"
Following his directions and follow
ed by his suspicious glances, we went
down the street again. Far down the
street we beheld small and hilarious
crowd.
Approaching, we saw the cause. A
little stump-tailed fox-terrier, painful
ly like our own lost pet, had paused
at a secondhand store and pulled
down a string Of shoes that were on
exhibit outside.
These he was doing his utmost to
destroy, manifesting the liveliest sat
isfaction at the progress made.
At our approach he fed, and we
knew whose dog he was But as we
had to pass the druggists and the gro
GERS and our neighbours home we were
not sorry, for there are times when
one does not like to claim even a dog
of pedigree, and this was one of them.

CARP PROTECTED IN OHIO.
Catch from Lake Erie Melted the
Fishermen S2,0OO,OOO

Catch from Lake Erie Melted the
Fishermen S2,O0O,oOo.
The much-despised German carp of
20 years ago has come into his own,
says the Columbus News.
Last year there were 100000
pounds Of carp caught in Lake Erie
and the tributary rivers, which brought
in the handsome sum of s2,000,000 10
the lucky fishermen. Twenty years
ago the carp was despised by all fisher
men and bill was introduced in the
legislature to pay royalty for its ex-
termination. Now bill has been pass
ed to protect him. 1t was made a fine
by the present legislature of Ohio to
catch carp under ten inches in length
and the fishermen who undertake to
market carp under that length are Il
able to be hailed before court of JUS
tice and heavily fined
This law, however, applies only to
Lake Erie and the rivers which flow
into it. Carp that are to be found in
other streams in Ohio have been found
to lack the size of the lake fish.
Inc German carp, WnIcn IS the only
carp to be found in the state, was first
introduced in Ohio % years ago, and
his development was slow. 1t took sew
eral years for him to become accli-
mated to the waters of the rivers and
lakes, and only in Lake Erie and its
contributing waters has he ever de-
veloped into marketable product. He
has been found to be a prolific breed
er and in the last four of five, years has
become one of the most important COM
mercial fish along the lake front.
This bill just passed by the legisla-
ture also has reduced the size of white
bass, perch and other fish that may be
marketed, it having been found that
net fishing is materially reducing the
production of fish Of all kinds.

chief has made no arrests, however.
Prof. William Wetzel, teacher in lions
parochial school, was handed a letter
by one of his young boy pupils, which
the lad said had been given him by a
stranger. The letter was decorated
with skull and crossbones, rudely
drawn, and demanded $500 as the price
of his life. Chief Malone lost little
time in running down the writer of
the letter, who proved to be the youth
who handed the miSsive to the teacher
The lads story apparently seemed as
real to him as though some one had
