TWO Americans Eat Appetizer in Lon

LOndOn.-That young American
dramatist, Avery Hapgood, in com

atrical star, Robert Dempster, arrived
in London the other day after a pleas
ure trip around the continent.
European customs and conditions
are practically all new to them, but
they are learning rapidly and having
no end of fun in doing it. The other
night they learned about plovers'
eggs. That wasn't as funny.
After the theater they went to the
Savoy for drink and a bite. and
joined the gay crowd at the supper
tables. Neither was hungry so they
paid little attention to the items on
the menu.
Flowers eggs to start wfth?'' asked
the waiter.
Yes, they would have plovers' eggs,
although neither of them had ever
seen one even.
He brought us a sort of a nest full
Of little speckled hard-boiled eggs, "
said Mr.. Dempster. They didn't look
very appetizing, and when we tried
them they didn't taste any better than
they looked. I'd a good deal rather

was simple, and Grohan was getting
along well with his job when he
smashed his finger.
With this handicap he couldn't hold

thing was wrong, held a nail in her

near the board and with a gentle tap

picked up another nail.
After that the hen held the nails
against the boards and Grohan drove
them home and the coop was soon

MONKEY lNVADES A SCHOOL
Escaped Simian Takes Possession of
Room and Has Much Fun Before
Captured by Student.

Portland, Ore-Escaping from his
cage at the Seven Mile house, on the
Section Line road, a monkey ran
amuck, made his way to the Buckley
school house, located a short distance
east, and took possession of the
school, ousting the teacher and fright
ening the pupils.
The simian hoped from bench to

much to the alarm Of the children.
After disporting about the room
for several minutes, the monkey
dropped into the drinking bucket, full
of water. The cold bath, most unex-
pected, did not halt the animal in his
search for entertainment Emerging
from the bucket almost as quickly as
he had dropped into it, he took a
straight cut across the room over the
heads Of the pupils.
Finally one Of the boys, drawer than
the others, caught the animal after
hard struggle, placed it in sack and
restored it to Its home, but Mr.. Mon
key had created such a disturbance
that the rest of the lessons for the
day in the Buckley school house were
called off.

METHOD IN CLEFT GRATING
Scion Should Consist of Portion of
the Previous Seasons Growth
of the Tree.

To make a cleft graft select a
branch one or one and one-half inches
in diameter and sever it with a saw.
Care should be taken that the bark
be not loosened from any portion of
the stub. Split the exposed end with
a broad thin chisel or grating tool.
Then with wedge or the wedge
shaped prong at the end of the graft
Ing tool spread the cleft so that the
scion may be inserted.
The scion should consist of a por-
ton Of the previous seasons growth
of the tree to be propagated and
should be long enough to have two
or three buds. The lower end of tho
scion, which is to be inserted into
the cleft, should be cut into the shape
OF wedge, having the outer edge
thicker than the other. In general
it is a good plan to cut the scion so
that the lowest bud will come Just at
the top of this wedge in order that It
viii be near the top of the stock
Tie advantage of cutting the wedge
thicker at one side is illustrated
showing how the pressure of the stock
is brought upon the outer growing

Great Inc. sase in Gambling Reported
to League Which Is Fighting
Eui.-Women Victims.

London Gambling is on the in
crease in EQgland. According to re-
ports to tie British Anti.Gambling
league, OrgaEized gambling Is making
gigantic stIehes, and this desp1se the
fact that tie police have made it
very difficult for one to place bets in
London and the other big cities Of the
kingdom.
It is stated that whereas q century
ago there weGa only 20 bookmakers in
Great Britai1 and Ireland there are
now some $4,000 men getting their liV-
ing wholly or partly in this way.
The turnover is estimated at about
$500, 100000 on horse racing, and $780,
100000 on football and other sports
The gambling evil, too, is spreading
aiarmingly among women aAd chill
dren and is restricted to no particu-
lar class of society.
There have been IS cases of WON
en- bookmakers before the courts in
the last year.
The league has protested to the gov
eminent against the receipt of foreign
lottery circulars and called the atten-
ton Of the police to the existence Of
many girls betting clubs.

Bella and jim, who had gone into the

I think it was just after Max pro-
posed to me. Yes, he proposed to me

illness had decided him; that any of
US might take sick and die, shut in
that contaminated atmosphere, and
that if he did he wanted it all settled.
And whether I took him or not he
wanted me to remember him kindly if

TRAINING THE YOUNG TREES
More Important Than Pruning and
Should Consist Mostly in Keep
ing Plant Balanced.
By W. J. GREEN1

Training the young orchard is more
heedful than pruning. and should
consist mostly in shaping the trees or
keeping them in form and properly
balanced Very often the side OPP
posite the direction from which the
prevailing winds come, becomes
heavier than the side towards the
wind, and the removal of some OF
the branches and heading in of others
becomes necessary.
Some shoots become too rampant
and need checking to reserve the
balance of the tree, and others can
be bent and tied to fill the open
spaces. Work of this kind and the
removal of water sprouts may be
done in the summer.
A bushy or clustered habit of
growth is not uncommon even in
quite young trees, and needs to be
corrected by the removal of surplus
branches

German Dogs UnnuzzIed.

Berlin.-After decreeing the massa-

not afford to pay the new tax OF Sc
a Year, the police president of Berlin
has issued an emancipation procIa-

The police authorities have come to
the conclusion that the compulsory

and have decided to follow the ex-
example Of London, Paris, and other
capitals which long ago abandoned it.
The unmuzzling order is the result
of persistent campaign by the So

Animals. Muzzles need in future be
worn only by dogs known to be dan
gerous or which have bitten people.
If such animals prove chronic Of

Spray for Peach Trees.

All peach trees should be sprayed
with arsenate of lead, two pounds,
and slack lime, three pounds to 50
gallons of water just as the calices
or shucks are falling off the tiny
fruit. This occurs about ten days
after the blooms fall. This spraying
will aid in preventing injury from the
plum curculio, through whose pune
lures brown rot and other diseases
enter, causing the fruit to rot later
on
