in planting her flag on the pole and
was presented with a medal of dis

by ice foes were compelled to plant
theirs in the most convenient places.
Some of these proved to be at a

The guests were then conducted
into the uniquely decorated dining

large round table most suggestively
arranged. The north pole, sur
mounted by Old Glory, in the midst
of mirror sea, filled with icebergs,
formed the center piece. The places
were marked by cards, ornamented
with Peary's picture, and north

served, followed by floating island,

MISSED IT A NICKEL

Two little girls entered a florist
shop. So near each other in size
were they they would have been
taken for twins. They had 20 cents
10 cents apiece and with this
sum saved from pennies for some
time back they were going to buy a
plant" for mamma. One stepped
out little in advance of the other
when the door closed behind them.
The other was shy, looking timidly
but confidently at her sister. The
woman in charge of the small shop
looked up as the two mites of hu-
manity paused In front of her.
"Well?" she said, encouragingly.
We want to buy plant" said
the little spokeswoman. Then she
added in order to avoid later embar-
rassment-"the cheapest one you've
got"
"Ah," said the florist, going to
the window, here is nice little
plant-for Is cents"
The little sister turned quickly to
the other, but still smiling bravely.
Baby, we've just missed it a
nickel" she said.
Yet not three minutes later they
issued from the shop bearing the
plant between them, and as the wo.
man deposited the two silver dimes
in the cash drawer her eyes must
have caught their CLEAN. for there
was something shining there.

as greatly delighted with the eve
ning's entertainment. After the
business meeting, the third vice
president took charge and a splen-
did program was given, consisting of
readings by Miss Anna Brier, Miss
Hilda Perkins and Miss Evelyn
Gardner. After which Mrs. Andar-
san introduced the study of the
geography of penny by the entire
company, which was entered into
with zest that brought some very
remarkable discoveries to light con-
corning the topography of the
smallest coin in the realm; any and
everything known from a tulip to
the mouth of mighty river was
discovered upon the surface of the
the coin. The preacher said the
most interesting thing he discovered
about it, was the game of (chess)
chase, because he had to chase
around so to get one. After the
contest was over refreshments were
served, consisting Of fruits, cake
and chocolate, and at late hour
the company dispersed to their
homes. Mr.. and Mrs. Andarsan,
the host and hostess, are royal en-
tertainers, and it is hoped that
many such evenings may be spent
in their beautiful home.

was found neatly wrapped and
tucked under a small culvert, and
white silk veil roll, representing the
north pole, with a miniature flag
in the end of it, was found by Miss
Mae Dowdle under some dried
leaves. Polar animals were found
in every conceivable nook and cor
ner.

had retired to the house, the ami

learned that Miss Dowdle had won

wolves claimed 269 as their prey.
"Other animals" killed CSC.
But the ravages of the man eater
were as nothing compared to those of

the latter put an end to 1878 lives.
To cattle, leopards were by far the
most destructive Their kill was 42,427

TO REGISTER APPLE TREES
Farmer Has Plan of Growing Orchard
of Pedigreed Stock-Produce
Prize Winners.

Spokane, Wash.-Growing thorough.
bred apple trees, to be registered the
same as live stock with pedigrees, is
an innovation in eastern Washington.
II. NJ. Lichty. an orchardist in the
kimaSunnyside district. west OF
Spokane, has perfected plan TO
place the science of growing CONNER.
cial fruit of the highest quality and
color and uniform size upon prac-
tical basis.
Explaining his plan, Mr.. Lichty said
that in every thoroughly cultivated
apple orchard there are trees which
stand out for yielding most Of the
prize winners at national and state
shows. Scions are taken from these
and transferred g other trees by
budding and grating, thus raising the
quality. The trees are recorded upon
an orchard plat then registered and q
pedigree is issued to the grower.
'T do not claim that all trees so
grown will produce premium winning
| fruit" he added, las that cannot be
said OF pedigreed live stock; but the
experience of the foremost growers
in the northwest and other parts OF
the United States and Canada will
show that a greater percentage OF
high grade trees is raised by following
! a common sense system than by or.
charding in the old haphazard way
My own experiments prove these are
superior strains Of the several varie.
ties of standard apple trees"
Prof. w, s. Thornber head of the
horticultural department at the state
of Washington college, Pullman. and
growers in the apple belts in eastern
Washington and elsewhere, approve
the Lichty plan, the former saying
that the products of healthy trees may
be improved by budding and grating
from superior stock. He added there
is just as much difference In apple
trees of the same variety as there is
in horses of the same breed. The
plan OF registering trees and keeping
record of yielding performances Is
also Endorsed.
