Best Fruit Crop in Five Years

East Lansing, Sept. 27.-"It hss.
been at least ten years since there
has been such an excellent crop al
plums, pears and peaches" said PYNS
l.. X. Taft this morning in reply to an
inquiry as to the condition of Mich5-
gan fruit the past season. ''ThR
grape crop" said Mr.. Taft, has neye
er before been equaled in the history
OF the state. The southern part or
Michigan had fine crop of cherries.
but in the northern section, where
are located the largest orchards, the
crop was injured by the early frosts
The summer and autumn varieties OF
as a whole the crop of winter apples
is very light. Very few trees in the
uncared-for orchards blossomed anS
the character of the fruit that vas
produced was of such low quality
that it did not pay to harvest. With
tie exception of the northern spy ale
varieties in the sprayed and culti~
waited orchards have given fair
crop, and where grown under the
best possible condition the trees are
very heavily laden with fruit. AS
q rule there have been very ,satisfac.-
tory prices received where well
grown and prime fruit has been
raised, but in many sections the drt
weather that prevailed the pSs.
summer caused the fruit to be OF
such inferior quality that it was
hardly a paying proposition to take
from the trees. The price of fan APP
rles has been also below that of for
mer years and although the crop OF
winter apples is fully 25 per cent less
than full yield, the buyers are tax
ing hold very slowly"

Tho Sale Of Indecent Post Cards.

A Kalamazoo news item reports the
arrest of dealer in that city for sell.
ing obscene post cards, states that he
plead guilty and was fined $50. 90. The
post Office department is taking radical
steps to free the mails from this class of
cards and has recently broadened it's
edict against them by adding to the list
of those to be excluded cards that are
suggestive even if not really obscene.
1t is really surprising to note
the seeming desire of certain peo-
pie to make use of this class of cards
right here in Owosso and If the senders
of the same knew just how many of
them were withdrawn from the mails
and destroyed they would cease to won
der why replies were not received to
messages sent on the same. A number
of such cards have recently been for
warded to the authorities at Washing
ton and in each instance have been
declared unavailable, and in at least one
case the mailing of the card has been
referred to an inspector for investiga-
tion and probably prosecution. That
any dealer in the city should handle
this class of cards is equally surprising
and possibly the only way to stop it is
that employed in Kalamazoo. To avoid
trouble don't sell this class of cards and
do not deposit them in the U. s. mails.

Under the present game law it is a
misdemeanor to hunt or kill fox. black

offense for the violation Of this law is
punishable by fine of not less than $40

costs of prosecution, and by imprison-
ment in the county Jail or the Detroit
house Of correction not exceeding ninety
days, or by both such fine and impris-
onment; the second and subsequent
convictions carry fine of not less than
$50 and not to exceed 5000 and costs, or
by imprisonment not less than sixty
days nor more than one year, and in
case the fine and costs are not paid the

One of the problems that confront
the naturalist is that of accounting for
the distribution of identical forms OF
life through widely separated localities.
Investigation frequently shows that
this has been accomplished in many
ways that appear quite simple when
once discovered, although one would
hardly have thought Of them. Some
interesting facts have been Cleaned
concerning the dispersion Of fresh wa
ter mollusks, accounting for their ap-
pearance in remote and isolated ponds.
Waterfowl play an important part in
this work. Ducks have been known to
carry mussels attached to their feet
a hundred miles or more. Bivalve mol
lusks not infrequently cling to the toes
of wadlng birds and are thus trans
ported for considerable distances. Even
aquatic insects have been known to
carry small fresh water mollusks at
tached to their legs.-Harper's Weekly.

DUMAS AND HIS BARBER.
oriain of the Practice of Speculatlns
In Theater Tickets.

Origin Of the Practice of speculatlns
In Theater Tickets.
The practice of specializing In thea
ter tickets, strange as it may appear,
was started by the elder Dumas. He
patronized a Paris barber named Por-
cher, and one day this worthy while
shaving the novelist asked him why
he did not sell the tickets given him
by the managers of the theaters where
his plays were produced.
ITO whom could sell themw asked
the author Of the Three Musketeers."
"Why. to me, If you like" replied Por-
cher. "And what would, you do with
themT" asked Dumas. A'Thats my
business" replied the barber, contin-
uing to lather the bronzed face of the
famous story teller.
But I give you tickets whenever
you ask for them" said Dumas. "Ahi
One or two are not sufficient for my
purpose" responded Porcher. IL must
have all your tickets. and every day
too" "And you viii pay for themT
said the dramatist. Cash" was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment was very
badly in need OF money. so he at once
concluded the bargain. Porcher. who
shortly afte' this gave up shaving and
cutting hair, made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly be-
came rich

A SWORD OF HONOR.
IL Was the Means of Betrayine Mar.

IL Was the Means of Betrayins Mar.
shall Ney to Death.
A saber of honor brought Marshal
Ney to dishonor and death. When Ma
poleon entered Cairo on July %,
1893, he was presented with three
swords Of honor richly inlaid with pre-
cious stones. He brought them back
to Europe, and in 1902 he gave one to
Ney and another to Murat, keeping
the third for himself.
Ney received his at an imperial re-
ception. The sword passed from one
to another Of those present, among
whom was young subaltern OF the
Auvergne regiment. When Napoleon
escaped from Elbe Ney left the king
and took sides with his former chief.
After the allies entered Paris Ney
made preparations to get out of the
country, but his wife and friend per
suaded him that there was really no
danger, and he decided to remain In
France. Then came the order for his
session of some friends and succeeded
In reaching 1t without his presence be-
ing known.
One day, feeling tired, he threw him
self on couch, first taking off his orr
entail sword, which he always wore out
of affection for the emperor. Hearing
voices. he spTang up and hurriedly left
the room, forgetting his sword. A min
ute later party of women and men
entered the room, one of them being
the young subaltern Of the Auvergne
regiment, now n colonel He at once
recognized the sword and, calling in
some gendarmes. proceeded to search
the premises
Finding that he was discovered, Ney
gave himself up quietly. On Dec. 7,
1915, the marshal, whose sobriquet was
the Bravest of the Brave, the hero OF
hundred battles, was shot. Scarcely
two months after the owner Of the
second sword, Murat, had met his fate
in the same way.
