Pawnbrokcrs and Grass Rinas.

These" said a pawnbrokcr. open

rings. There's q couple of hundred Of
them here, but they'll only last me

II hand out one gratis to every poor
woman who has to pawn her wedding
ring. They resemble wedding rings,
you see, and with their help wife can
pledge her gold circlet without the

and in those countries too, it is the

TROLLEY AS FARM AID.
Michigan Electric Lines Aided In Dis
posing of Fruit.

michigan Electric Lines biced IN OlS-
posing of Fruit
The advantage OF handling big crops
Of fruit by the uolley lines was illus
trated in the lower peninsula Of Mich
igan in 1911 TO an extent never before
realized Had 1t not been for the
electric lines OF two OF the states
handling this class OF traffic the dis
posal Of the apple. peach. pear and
other crops would have met with loss.
Only a couple Of years ego there
vas but one line Of electric railway
hauling fruit out OF Berrien county
orchards to the steamship docks At
Benton Farbor Now there are about
half dozen Some of the lines rush
trains Of fruit from points west Of
Elkhart. Ind, to the stca mbOat docks
at Benton Harbor. These points are
over 100 miles from Chicago. the great
est market Of the entire region. Con
signments OF fruit leave the orchards
late in the afternoon and are loaded
into express cars and fat cars with
Grated ends and sides. Trains are run
on fast time and stop only 10 pick up
fruit. and from certain points they do
not stop for any purpose. At Benton
Harbor the fruit packages are loaded
on great side wheel steamers and car
ried through the cooling atmosphere
Of Lake Michigan, reaching Chicago
about a N. From the Chicago docks
the big supply intended for consump-
ton in a city OF over 100000 people
is distributed early in the forenoon.
But Chicago does not begin to take
all Of the fruit produced by the great
orchards Of two states. Millions Of
packages are shipped off over most OF
the twenty-five different railroads ra-
dating from the city. They are haul
ed from the docks to the depots and
there are given 70 the express cOmpa-
MES operating OF the railroads. 1t Is
at this point that the advantage of
shipping across the lake comes in.
Had most Of these shipments been sent
by rail the cars could not have been
given to the belt line In time to con
meet with the outgoing trains in the
morning. and thus serious damage to
fast ripening fruit might have been
done. The steamboat company could
not have got the products Of distant
orchards had it not been for the rapid
electric lines. so that it is only by a
combination Of the work Of three diff
ferent means Of transportation that 1t
has been possible to market phenome-
nally big crops of fruit. The rate Of
the entire electric and lake haul is not
more than the cost Of one direct ship
ment by rail to the same point, and il
some instances 1t is less
Another advantage of shipping fruit
by electric lines is that refrigeration
is essary.-Country Gentleman.

HIS QUAINT SIMPLICITY.
IL Won John Burroughs a Place In the
Treasury Department.

h won Sonh burroughs q ri2ce In the
Treasury Department.
Early In the sixties of the Last
century, when Hugh McCulloch had
Just been appointed comptroller of
the currency to organize the new
department under the provisions Of
the national bank act, there walked
into his Office, unannounced, one
day a stranger dressed in "store
clothes" and wearing long hair.
'My name is Burroughs-John
Burroughs said the visitor. u
should like TO have a position in
your department"
'SWhat do YOU know about bank
ing?" asked the comptroller, think
ing that perhaps in the unique
stranger might be discovered some
genius or an actuary or accountant.
'Tnhappily, nothing" replied
the applicant.
"Who sent YOU here"
''No one"
well, who's your congressman?
To whom can you refer me-"
II know no congressman"
"And you expected TO get a gov
ernmcnt position without qualifca-
ton for the position and without
Endorsement or backing of any char
acter?'
II think l could learn Office worl
here, and the salary would be
great help to me in my literary ca
reer" #
ooh, you are writer, are you?'
What's your line? Poetry, per.
haps?"
I try to write poetry" confessed
the visitor.
"Got any of it with you:" askca
the comptroller, now considerably
amused. "If so let's see it
The poet-naturalist produced
song redolent of early spring. It
treated of the chewink, the oven
bird and the Carolina wren, with a
dainty reference to forest violets
and hepatica.
'EThis is great" commented the
comptroller. Its right out of the
woods"
(Which is more than can be said
of the author" observed Mr.. Bur
roughs, thinking of the world Of
finance which he was seeking to in.
wade.
The comptroller laughed. "And
is this all you have in the way Of
credentials ?"
Il have some more poems at
home," was the bland and sincere
reply.
In much merriment the comp
troller summoned an assistant.
"Here's the most astonishing in
stance Of ingenuousness [ have ever
encountered in public life" said he.
"That man over there applies for
government position, and the only
hackers he can name are the muses..
Yet this department is not polit-
ical, and somehow I'm inclined to
put the fellow to work. I am capti-
waited by the mans honest sim
plicity."
SO John Burroughs was set to
work as a treasury clerk. No ap-
pointment ever before had been Sc.
cured on such a basis, and no one
since has had the temerity in ask
ing for a government job to cite
song birds and wild flowers as his
only references.

IDEAL CURE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
Altitude Is Main Thing Says
DR. Peters, Authority
on Disease
HOT CLIMATE IS NOT GOOD
Cold Is Stimulating and Helps
Patient, While Heat Is
Enervating.

Dr. l.. S. Peters, assistant medical
director of the New Mexico Cottage
Sanatorium at Silver City, and secre-
tary-treasurer, New Mexico Society
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis. arrived in this city yes
terday and was the guest of II. r.
MacGibbon on Palace avenue. DR..
Peters left this morning for Denver
as one OF the delegates from New
Mexico to the National tuberculosis
Congress, which convenes on the Goth
instant and he will read a paper be-
fore that organization.
Discussing the climate best suited
to the successful treatment of tuber.
culosis, DR.. Peters said:
The main thing is altitude. The
German scientist who declared that
one must go mile up in the air to
get pure air explained it perfectly.
We see that in Switzerland. where
patents are treated in a damp, rainy
climate and they get along fine, be-
cause they are in an altitude of 5000
feet
What about this high altitude
hurting people?" was asked.
well, when one goes above seven
thousand feet. there is chance for
trouble replied the scientist. 1T de-
ends on the heart action. In New
Mexico We have a decided advantage
besides altitude because we have
dryness of climate"
Heat No Good.
Asked II hot weather was not dis.
advantage in the treatment of tuber-
culosis, DR.. Peters said: Most decid-
edly. All enervating influences are
bad, as experience proves. and there
fore if you get a climate which is
cold and dry and has pure air in
high altitude, you get as near the
ideal conditions as one can hope for.
Santa Fe is admirably suited for the
treatment of tuberculosis, but we
think that in Silver City with an alti-
tude of only 5000 feet we can treat
many cases which are not suited to
higher altitude"
