been actually adopted in some Of the

objection is made that there Is no

well in many OF the northern states

That there Is no fruit SO erratic in its

no one variety which any grower is
willing to recommend for all locali-

The method of few growers is to
plant very profusely Towering vari-

much better plan would be to plant

Bartender's Suggestion to Rough Look
ing, but Wealthy, Patron, Was
Meant to Be Kindly.

Tetlow is a man of substance and OF
some standing. He even lays claim to
some literary ability, but he has care
less habits. If his wife didn't watch
him closely he would wear the same
suit of clothes from one years end to
the other. He never thinks of getting
shaved until some one asks him If
he is trying to raise a beard. Natu-
rally, he is apt to be misjudged by
those who have nothing but his ap-
pearance to go upon.
Drinking whisky is one of his fads
He takes a drink when he likes It,
and that is rather frequently, and he
gets 1t wherever he happens to be.
The other day he was in front OF one
of the new palatial hotels and thought
he would see what sort of refreshment
was served there He asked for his
.favorite brand and the bartender set
the bottle before him. Now Tetlow
is not heavy drinker. although
frequent one, so he poured out very
moderate amount
The bartender looked his Ill fitting

She waited quietly while couple
passed lis and sought seats nearer the
door.

gently.
AS quickly as possible l reviewed
the salient events which had occurred
since our last meeting. Without deny

Through the Camr of the Enemy.
A glance at my watch told me that
it was already within few moments
of midnight. There was, however. no
diminution in the festivities, and
waited in silence until heard the
sentries calling the hour, and then
pressed my way back into the noisy,
crowded ballroom. l was stopped
twice by well-meaning officers whom
| had met earlier in the evening, but
breaking away from them after the
exchange of a sentence or two, l urged
my course as directly as possible to-
ward where the spectacled brigadier
yet held his post as master OF cere'
monies.
We had been conversing pleasantly
for several minutes when Mrs. Bren'
nan appeared. Standing SO as to face
the stairs, l saw her first coming
down, and noted that she wore he-
hat, and had a light walking-cloak
thrown over her shoulders. My heart
beat faster as realized for the
first time that she intended to be my
companion.
"Oh, General, l am exceedingly glad
to find you yet here, she exclaimed
as she came up, and extended a neat
ly gloved hand to him. Il have a
favor to ask which am told you alone
have the authority to grant"
He bowed gnllantly
II am very sure, he returned smil'
ingly, that Mrs. Brennan will never
request anything which would not
gladly yield"
She flashed her eyes brightly into
his face.
Most assuredly not. The fact is,
General, Colonel Curran, with whom
see you are already acquainted, was
to pass the night at the Majors quar-
ters, and as he has not yet returned,
the duty has naturally devolved upon
me to see our guest safely deposited.
We are at the Mitchell House, you
remember, which is beyond the inner
lines; and while, Of course, I have
been furnished with par-" she held

Large business organizations have

competition. Large concerns can pro

corporation doing a large and legiu-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former
governor Of Massachusetts,, In the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm-
er. They give opportunities to smah
Investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made SO clear.
plain and definite that It could not be
misunderstood It should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public ac-
couutant. There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records CT all the direc-
torates of these companies.
