Missouri Fruit Crop Report.

State. The average size Of the
apple crop is estimated to be be-

two hundred per cent over last

A NICE LITTLE GAME
A Good Many LeXingtOnanS Realize Now
That They Bit.

That They Bit.
About two years ago there
drifted into Lexington a smooth
young gentleman with stock to
sell. He had the endorsement
of several leading business men
of Kansas City, one, very APP
propriately, a prominent dealer
in talking machines. This stock
which was for sale was a sure
money maker. The article
which it was to develop would
fill a long felt want and would
rake in the shine as soon as it
was put on the market. 1t was
a great opportunity the men of
Lexington had to clean up a for
tune. Think of how telephone
stock went begging for so long
and then scared to the sky.
Here was a parallel instance.
AS usual a goodly number of
lucre- seeking men Of Lexington
partook of the delectable bait,
Their segacity and a%lacrity in
going in on this marvellous
wealth producer was highly
commendable. There were so
many stockholders in Lexington
that it would be an excellent
precautiOn to have a citizen of
the town on the board OF direc-
tors. Would not the stockhold-
ers select someone? The fall
guy was duly chosen and he fell
to the extent of 200 simoleons.
We're the gentlemen through
buying? All right, the company
would now start out to make its
stockholders wealthy. The
smooth young gentleman after
selling one or two patches of
stock also cents instead of a
dollar a share, thereby losing
two thirds of his commission,
left town.
Very unfortunately the direc
tors could not see their way
clear to letting the prominent
citizen Of Lexington in on their
deliberations; for said p. c.
had invested only two century
slips, which was not quite
enough to justify his being
among the members of the
august body.

good cheer, sell not to the
swindler that was offering 10
cents on the dollar for the stock
and have confidence in the value J
of their shares which were {

were. Very true.) {
June 20 the stockholders re- .

stating that the directors had |
