MUST PAY FOR PAPERS TAKEN

During the last term of circuit
court of Atchison county, Mo-, the case
of H. f. Staple VS.. Charles Traub was
tried. The suit was brought on long
standing account and among other
items was 16 years subscription for
the Atchison County Mail. Mr.. Traub
refused to pay for the Mail, claiming
he did not take the paper, and that he
had refused to take the paper from the
postotfice and mail box a number of
times. The plaintiff proved by post
masters, deputy postmasters and Others
that Mr.. Traub did take the paper dur
ing all the 16 years. In the case it was
shown that according to law even if
subscriber does occasionally order a
newspaper discontinued or refused to
accept it, he cannot get out of paying
what he owes for the paper, and the
subscriber must pay the arrearage be,
fore stopping the paper.
Tho jury in the case was out only a
short time and brought in a verdict for
the entire account-l6 years at $1.50
a year, of $24. The costs in the justice
court and the circuit court amounted to
about 800 besides the attorney fees.
A similar case has been decided by
the court of appeals and it was held in
that case that anyone taking news
paper must pay for it as long as they
take it from the postocice.- Boulder

Artificial Sapphires.

The chemical composition Of the
synthetic sapphire is the same an
that of the natural sapphires. The
only difference is that the real sap
phire is crystalized, while the artii-
cial sapphire is fused alumina or al
umina glass. Between artificial and
real sapphires there is just such q
difference as there is between potato
sugar and rock candy.-Harper's

HOW To PRESERVE
FRUIT FOR FAIRS
Suggestions to Housewives Who
May Wish to Exhibit
Fruit at Fairs

The matter of preserving fruit fol
exhibition begins to engross the
mind of the housewife. The prepara
tion of fruit in glass for exhibition
purposes is only successfully accom-
plished by few who have made a
study of it. There are certain fixed
formulas in use, and practice makes
perfect.
The essential requisites to success
follow
1t is very necessary that the fruit
be first properly prepared. Do not
handle the fruit with the bare hands
clip the fruit from the vine or tree,
leaving the stem. Wash it under a
spray Or hose of cold water to re-
move all dust or foreign matter
hang by the stem until thoroughly
dry. Be sure to select perfect spe-
cimens placing them in the preserv-
ing liquid "a to As hours. Before
thoroughly ripened have your jars
cleaned and ready also preserving
liquids properly prepared before
gathering your fruit. After fruits
are prepared set in cool, dark place
always using distilled or boiled water
but never rain water.
Don't get discouraged if the first
aatempt does not prove successful,
but keep experimenting until you do
succeed. Don't fail to properly label
he specimens, giving name, variety,
where and by whom produced.
The formulas follow:
For berries and all fruits.-Clear
@ater-whitel kerosene is frequentl
usad with good results with straw
berries, blackberries, raspberries
and currants. Be sure that no drops
If water remain on the berries.
All fruits and vegetables.-To ev-
cry gallon of water add one-half
ounce corrosive sublimate. This has
given good salts. action with nearly
all kinds of fruit and vegetables and
should it become clouded or dim can
1e renewed Must be handled with
caution, as it is rank poison. Peas
paced in jars with pods cracked
opn make a nice display.
For firm, smooth-skinned fruits
70 every gallon of water add one
quart of glucose and one-half ounce
f0rmaldehyde. This does well for
pears, peaches, prunes, grapes, cher
ries, currants and gooseberries, but
not for logan berries, blackberries
or raspberries.
For light colored fruit.-To every
gallon of water add two ounces car

For dark colored fruit and berries.
