TELLS ABOUT
HILLS FRUIT
Chris Thomson Presents In

Culture in Hills.

Chris Thomson of this city presented
a paper before the meeting of the

ciety at Yankton this week, which is
of more than passing interest to the
people of this section. He discussed
briefly and pointedly 1.-THE Best Fruit

himself and knowing the conditions
by years of experience, his recommend
ations are valuable and are offered
without the sophistry of the theorist.
He had this to say on Wednesday:

sells well as it is early, of fair size and
looks we'll; it always has brought DC.
per pound at wholesale; it retails at
&c. to SC. per pound and up to the
present time has been a ready seller.
Next comes the Duchess of Olden-
burg, which is our most numerous
summer apple and a heavier yielder
nearly every year. 1t does not bring
so good price of late years for the
reason that there are really more of
them than is necessary to supply the
home market and they are not of the
kind that can be shipped any long
distance with success.
The Red Astrichan comes about the
same time of the year as the Duchess
and as they are better shippers they
bring better prices, but are not very
profitable for the reason that they are
shy bearer.
Then comes Whitney No, 20. 1t is
profitable apple to raise in a small
way, prices fair, but is poor keeper
unless kept in a cool place.
The Wealthy has, up until now,
proven to be the best money maker
we have; it is good yielder, fair size
and good color, as well as an excellent

had we not ourselves heard the rap
ping noises, l should have felt that
Louises imagination had run away
with her. The outer door was closed
and locked and the staircase curved
above us, for all the world like any
other staircase.
Halsey, who had never taken seri-
ously my account of the night Liddy
and l were there alone, was grave
enough now. He examined the panel
ing of the wainscoting above and be-
low the stairs, evidently looking for a
secret door, and suddenly there flashed
into my mind the recollection of a
scrap of paper that Mr.. Jameson had
found among Arnold Armstrong; eff
fects. AS nearly as possible re-
peated it's contents to him, while Hal
sey took them down in a notebook.
Il wish you had told me this be-
FORE" he said. as he put the memo
randum carefully away. We found
nothing at all in the house, and l ex-
pected little from any examination of
the porch and grounds. But as we
opened the outer door something fell
into the entry with a clatter. 1t was
a cue from the billiard room.
Halsey picked it up with an excla-
nation.
That's careless enough" he said.
"Some of the servants have been
amusing themselves"
l was far from convinced Not one
of the servants would go into that
wing at night unless driven by dire
necessity. And q billiard cue! As a
weapon of either offense or defense
it was an absurdity. unless one ac-
cepted Liddy's hypothesis of a ghost.
and even then, as Halsey pointed out.
billiard-playing ghost would be a
very modern evolution of an ancient
institution.
That afternoon we. Gertrude. Hal
sey and /, attended the coroner's in

summoned also. 1t transpiring that in

SAVING Money at Home,

There's lots of wastefulness in
soap. People usually argue that a
cake of soap costs five cents and that's
all there is to it. But it isn't. Easy

the work of cheap, common rosin
soaps, and costs the same. It does the
work quicker, better and much more
easily. It's saving qualities only begin
with its price; it saves clothes, fuel
