DETECTIVE oALToN's STORY.

'I had the very great pleasure"
said Detective Dalton. "of running
down about the last of the important
red-pepper sneaks.
'I saw the two messengers about
three hours after the robbery. They
were in a terrible condition. Their
minds were IN such shape that they
gave me half a dozen different YER
sions of the way the robbery hap
rened, and as many descriptions of
the thieves. I could sympathize with
them, and knew that 1t would be
hours, perhGos days, before they
senses to tell an intelligent story
About the only thing which they
agreed upon in their delirious rawlings
was that there were two thieves.
Knowing that 1t is customary for
thieves before carrying out robbery
of this kind TO study the situation
carefully and lay plans for the at
tack and escape, I hunted all over
the nj ighborhood OF the bank to find
some one. II possible, who had seen
any suspicious-looking persons I only
learned enough to confuse me, as so
many people had seen men who
might have been the thieves. If all
their stories were accepted there
lower Broadway several days before
the robbery. It is remarkable how
little evidence can be picked up about
an occurrence which. in the natural
order of things, ought to have been
seen by at least fifty men. The rob-
berry occurred in broad daylight at an
hour when the street is most crowd
ed. Yet after a long search I only
found one person. who had seen any
thing which might be of value. I ran
across a street vender who must have
been within twenty-five feet of the
messengers when they were attacked.
"He did not see the assault, but
second later, and before he under
stood what had happened. he saw
two men, very well dressed. hurry
across Broadway and turn down Ce-
dar street toward th4> North river.
That was the natural course which
thieves who knew their business
would have taken. The vender had
a pretty fair idea of the appearance
Of the two mel and their clothing.
With that as a guide went through
Cedar street. I traced the men to
West street by witnesses who had
nottced them moving quickly as If
they were In hurry to catch a train,
but lost track of them in West street
until reached the Liberty street
ferry. Then l picked up the very
clue was after.
"The ticket agent had seen the
men, and his attention was attracted
to them particularly because in buy
ing ticket for Scranton one of them
took some money out of bag. This

LITTLE NEW IN LINE OF FUR

Worth Mention, and It Promises

1t may seem trife premature to
talk about furs; but, although the
weather is still quite summery, the
large shops already have begun to
display fur garments of every de-
scription, suitable for the chilly days
of late fall and even for the regular
winter season.
So far as can be judged at this
time, there will be little new In the
fur line during the coming season.

The "change of life" is most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ianged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation Of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

SKETCH OF H. G.. KELSEY.
MERGED FALLS, Cal, Jan. q.
There are three reasons why H
G. Kelsey is a distinctive man:
First-He was named for Hor-
ace Greeley.
Second-He grew to be 6 feet 8
inches high.
Third-He is the Fig Kink" OF
America.
He owns the biggest black fig
plantation in the United States,
and is the first man to successfully
market black figs in bulk. They
are known as Kelsey Figs" He
got his start as a fig farmer at col
lege. This story tells how he made
good.
Kelsey graduated from the Agri-
cultural College of the University
of California in 1891. When he
came home, the barn door was left
open by accident and let the stock
in to feast upon hay. His father
discovered it.
my boy" he said, sorrowfully
you have been clear through col
lege and haven't learned enough
to close a barn door.
But the son has since proved
that his father was wrong. What
he didn't know about practical
farming experience taught him.
A large portion of the Kelsey
ranch is situated in the MERGED
river bottom. The soil is a rich
alluvium. On this section of the
farm Horace Kelsey settled down
to horticulture. After about five
years experimenting, he decided
the fig culture was most profit
ably adapted to the soil.
He started an orchard of 65
acres from 1900 clippings from IL
trees planted by his father.
Those who knew him called him
a book farmer and said he had got
full of flumadiddle at college.
This didn't discourage him. He
was figuring on the time he had
to wait for results.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-01-29

Pioneering an industry is no
cinch. Here are some of the trou-
bles he went up against.
He had to make trees grow from
$500 twigs. The clippings were
hard to start.
The trees require deep soil with
plenty of moisture. He had to
build an expensive irrigating sys-
TEN to get the moisture.
He had to wait six years for a
profitable crop. Then he had to
make a market for black figs be-
fore he could sell the crop.
He had to fertilize 65 acres. He
did it with sheep. Grazed them
and sold the wool. His band grew
to 10000. 1t got to be sheep or
figs; the sheep had to go.
When the figs ripened, the birds
ate them. The crop is so big now,
it doesn't matter. When they first
bore, it cut big ice.
The trees grew big and un-
wieldy. He had to cut them all
back to rs feet height and 80 feet
spread. 1900 of the; some job.
The crop grew large. TO handle
it profitably became a problem.
The simple and natural way prov
ed best.
The fruit is allowed to ripen on
the trees. When it reaches ma
turity, it withers and drops. Then
the fig pickers come; all sizes and
sexes. They swarm under the
trees like ants and pick up the half
dried fruit by the pound. L. is
placed upon trays in the sun.
When it is graded and sacked and
is ready for market.
Then, foot! loot! in comes the
train, away goes the figs and Kel-
sey goes to the house to count his
money.
Figs yield two crops year. An
average crop at the Kelsey ranch
is 1875 tons. This sells for $50 a
ton. When you have figured this
up, of course, you will buy fig
ranch.
