When a man has been in Office for a

gets away from the average voter and
out of sympathy with him. Senator
Lodge does not appear to realize that

DON'T KNOW EFFECT
Or COURTS VERDICT

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Sept. s.--The
effect of the decision of The Hague
court in the North Atlantic coast fish
cries case upon American fishermen Is
still a matter of conjecture here to-
day. The State Department is awaiting
fun report of the findings before
making a statement as to the immed-
late effect of the decision. A message
was received from the American Lega-
ton at The Hague to-day but because
of errors in transmission there was
still doubt concerning some of the
findings in the case.

TWAIN's FIRST LECTURE.
Bret Harte Headed the Clsque, but the
Audience SwamPed Them.

Bret Harte Headed the Clsque, but the
Audience SwamPed Them.
Mr.. Clemens prepared a lecture for
his San Francisco audience, giving
most extravagant account Of what he
had seen among the south sea islands.
When Bret Harte ard some other of
his friends were told Of his platform
intention they agreed to go in body
to the old Mechanics hall, where
Twain was to deliver himself, and
form big claque that would insure
the success of the affair.
Mark wrote his own handbills, which
set the town agog with anticipation.
One particularly inviting phrase print
ed at the bottom of the announcement
was, "The trouble will begin at p. m"
The hall was crowded, and the claque
was uproarious when Clemens appear
ed upon the platform. The lecture was
delivered with manifest effort in a
slow, deliberate, drawing manner, and
the lecturer paid no heed whatever to
the inconsiderate demands of Faster,
faster! We can't stay here all night"
and other urgent calls.
Although Harte tried to steer the
cIaquers, they insisted upon applaud
ing and laughing in the wrong places,
which may or may not have been in
tended as joke on Twain, but at last
the audience. which began to catch on
to the unique style of the man and to
appreciate his quantity whimsical ut
terances, overwhelmed the claque and
had things it's own way.
An old timer who attended the lee
ture says of the effect OF Twain upon
his first audience: His slow drawl,
the anxious and perturbed expression
of his visage, the apparently painful
effort with which he framed his SEN
fences and. above all, the surprise that
spread over his face when the audi
ence roared with delight or rapturous-
ly applauded the finer passages were
unlike anything of the kind they had
ever known. The lecture was a great
success" = Bailey Willard In Hamp-
toms Magazine.

GATHERING PRUNES.
The Fruit Is Never Picked, but Is Al
lowed to Fall to the Ground.

lowed to Fall to the Ground.
A popularity of prunes is that they
are never picked from the trees, but
are allowed to fall to the ground The
reason is that a prune must be dead
ripe, with all its sugar developed, or it
will not cure properly. Therefore the
ground under the trees is carefully pre-
pared and leveled to make a soft,
smooth bed for the falling fruit Gath
ering the fallen prunes is a staple in
dustry in August and September. Boys
and girls and often entire families are
employed in it, camping In the or
chards.
Being gathered, the prunes are rolled
down troughs full of tiny needles that
prick their skins. They are then Dip
ped in a hot solution containing Iye,
which cleanses them, and rinsed in
cold water. Next they are put in
broad, shallow wooden trays and laid
in the sun for two or three weeks.
This sun drying practically converts
them into the staple prunes Of COM
merce and of boarding house Jokes.
At the packing house they are assert
ed as to size by q machine which
shakes them over huge sieve, The
farther the prune travels over the
sieve the larger the holes, and when
it comes to a hole little bigger than
itself it drops through into the proper
bin. 1t is then run through a vat con-
tanning hot water and finally rolls
down a chute into q wooden packing
box-the same box that you see at the
grocer's. When the prunes pour from
the chute, however. there is Il reInova-
BILE frame about three inches high on
top of the box. Box and frame go I'M
der press. which promptly stamps
down the contents so that they are no
higher than the top of the box. The
frame is lifted off. the cover is nailed
on the box, and the prunes are ready
to ship.-Will Payne in Saturday Even
ing Post.

| VIII Vaeste Aug. 31.-J. NJ Smith,
sales manager for the Moline Incan-

evening for the east on three weeks
vacation trip. He stated before de-
parture that the incandescent people
will vacate the Dimock G. Gould fac

Roses glove and mitten works will

Hearing Postponed. Preliminary
hearing of the Rock Island negro,
George Walker. charged with having
stabbed Joe Reed ,co1ored, on circus
day in this city, was postponed Sat
urday morning until next Saturday
morning at 8. There was considera-
bic stir in police court circles when
the time for the nearing arrived and
the negro, who was released recently
on 500 bond furnished by C. e.
Evans OF this city, failed to appear.
The rumor was then circulated that
it would be necessary for Mr.. Evans
to forfeit the bond. The appearance
shortly after of Walker and the an
nouneement by A. H. Kohler, repre-
senting the state that the states. at
torney would not ask Mr. Evans to
forfeit the bond, clarified the atmo-'
sphere. The continuance was grant
ed because of the inability of Attor-
ney Ben Schriver, deputy states at
torney, to be present, and because of
the condition of Joe Reed, who is not
yet sufficiently recovered to leave the
city hospital.

Justify, and was finally able to escape
it. The boy was taken to physician

Consider This Advice.

No woman should submit to srlrgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town In
the United States bear. willing testl-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are i'll, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is frees
and always helpful.
