that the tree bears well even when il
is still carrying the crop of the pre-

other varieties. II is also said that the
fruit can be shipped as early as June,
although it is still too acid then II Is
good in July, but better In August and
September

How To Get Fishing
Worms Without Work.

Dallas, Tex, April 27-Col w. G.
Sterrett, well-known newspaper CORE
spondent and now State game and fish
warden for Texas, to-day announced
the following method as a labor saw
ing device to get fishing bait without
digging it:
"You take broom handle three and
one-half feet long" says Sterrett,
"drive it into the spot likely to be in
habited by angle worms Leave an end
sticking up about six inches. Then
take rough board and rub it over the
top of the broom handle. This rubbing
will cause a vibration of the earth and
the worms, angry and disturbed, will
work their way out Of the ground. A
fellow can get pail full of worms in
short time"
But, Colonel" asked a reporter,
doesn't II take work TO rub the board
on top of the stiek2"
Get a negro to rub the boardl" ex-
claimed the Colonel.

died before she could get there. In the
year 1888. which was leap year, the

CONFEDERACY IS DEAD.
Mioajah Henry Clark Was Confidential
Clerk to Jefferson Davis.

Micajah Henry Clark Of Clarksville,
Tenn, who died recently, was the con-
fidential clerk Of Jefferson Davis, presi-
dent of the Confederate States Of

ices of confidential clerk to Mr.. Da-
Wis, Mr.. Clark assumed the duties OF
treasurer Of the Confederacy. With
Golfers empty Of coin and a paper cur
rency Of little value. he endeavored to
furnish the money to finance the shat
tered armies that endeavored to hold
the field against the Union forces.
Last summer the federal government
sent Gaillard Hunt Of the Congressi0n-
al library TO see Mr.. Clark at his home
in Tennessee and get from him all the
data which he had concerning the Con-
federacy. Mr.. Clark turned over to Mr..
Hunt all the relics and information he
possessed except the last official sigma
ture affixed by Jefferson Davis. This
signature Mr.. Clark gave to the Con-
federate museum at Richmond.
Mr. Clark was born I'm Richmond
Sept. 4, 1880. In 1855 he moved to
GAINESVILLE. Tenn, and engaged in the
expectation OF tobacco to England,
France, Germany, Belgium and Hol-
land.
In 1851 he married Miss Elizabeth
Kerr of Lynchburg, Va. At the close
Of the war he returned TO GAINESVILLE
and resumed his business.

FARM TRAIN BACK

From The Lexington Herald.

ing over 2, i53 miles of railroad and be-
ing greeted by about 5000 people, the
Farm Special Train. which started
from Lexington March %, under the
auspices of the State University, arriv-
ed home last night shortly after 5
O'Clock.
The train was conducted by the Col
lege of Agriculture of State University
in co operation with the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture and seven rail-
roads, and was in the charge of Super
intendent T. r. Bryant of the Extern
sion Division of the college.
On board the train were President
Henry S. Barker, of State University;
Prof. M. A. Scoville, Prof. George
Roberts, Prof. J. J.. Hooper, Prof. A.
]. Reed, Prof. c. w. Mathews, Miss
Aubyn Chinn, from this city, and the
following professors from out of the
city; T. d. Smith, of Richmond;
Joseph T. Wing, of Ohio; E. c. Mar
tindale, of Indiana; Commissioners of
Agriculture J. w. Newman and Misses
Neale S. Knowles and Eda L. Murphy,
of the Iowa State College.
A number of State University stu
dents from this city also went on the
train. Speeches were made at each
stop and practical demonstrations OF
interest to farmers were given all over
the state. The trip was a success from
start to finish and frequent repetition
of the experiment has been assured.
The railroads which contributed to
the success of the train were: The
Chesapeake & Ohio, the Louisville &
Nashville, the Illinois Central, the Lou.
isville, Henderson G. St. Louis, the
Southern, the Nashville, Chattanooga
& St. Louis and the Queen & Crescent.
1t is estimated that total of $4,000

etc.
All of the promoters of the enter
prise were we'll pleased with the results
of the trip and hope that much good
will result. In an interview about tn
results of the expedition, Superintend-
ent Bryant, who had charge of the
train, said:
1.-The Farm Special Train has been.
to the curiosity seeker and the loafer, a
disappointment, and likewise to those
who thought circus had come to town.
BY the earnest men and women, seek
ing instruction, the train has been pro
nouuced the greatest factor in rural
Improvement that has ever been
brought to Kentucky farmers.
"Other trains will be run frequently
in the future, but will be more highly
specialized, not attempting to cover the
whole scope of agriculture, as this train
has practically done. The carefully
prearranged details were followed to
the letter, all operation moving like
cockwork and the whole movement

Night, and Colonel Shows His

Chicago, June 19-Word went out
that Mr.. Roosevelt would talk to his
delegates in the national committee
room. They had literally to fight
their way to the door. There they
were held up by two uniformed
policemen, who passed no one who
could not show his credentials as a

Shortly before II o'clock Colonel
Roosevelt was rushed from his room
to the committees headquarters
through a lane made by the police
His face was hard and set and for the
first time since he arrived he had no

OF those who pressed against the
backs of the police were Roosevelt
sympathiZers and the cheering dice
away to an awed silence when they
caught sight of their leaders face.
Somebody called out, What are the
prospects, colonel?"
Mr. Roosevelt did not turn, but he
recognized the voice and shot back:
you'll find I'm a better warrior
than a prophet"
Then he passed into the committee
room, the doors of which were at once
shut and guarded. 1t had been an
nounced at first that the meeting
would be open to reporters.
