Perfection is Seedless.

Perfection is Seedless.
Gradually the world is attain
ing pleasures that have no alloy.
Roses without thorns, the dream
of the poets, may be given us by
matter-of-fact science.
Darwin's discussion of the ori-
gin of species has borne fruit of
practical value in stimulating
breeders to experiment in the
production of new varieties of
plants and animals, some OF
which have great economic i'm
portance.
The seedless orange is a famil-
lar fruit which has made big mo-
ney for enterprising growers. A
breeder in California has pro-
duced a great variety of new
fruits and berries, some of which
promise to have extensive use.
Now we have a seedless and
coreIess apple. Being seedless,
the coreless apple is also worm
less. The tree that bears it is
also blossomless, a circumstance
that further discou1rages the cod
ling moth from depositing its
eggs. The want Of blossoms ex-
empts the crop of apples from
the bad effect of frosts.
Surface thought would indl.
cate that cunning science is al
last conquering nature even II
her most secret methods.
But nature is not so easily man
aged as it might seem. Her laws
of reproduction are inexorabl'
and violation Of them is death.
The seedless orange and tn
coreless apple are at the end o
their species. They cannot re
produce.
Is death, then, the result Q

UOFuOH ySSCSI udJ'
Our village was surfeited last
week with public functions, etc.,
among which was concert CIV
en- by L. N. Reed & Co. for the
entertainment of his patrons and
a lecture by Clinton N. Howard,
the subject of which was adam
and Eve and the Baby" The
latter part seems to be an mex
haustible subject, as Mr.. Howard
announced after he had spoken
two and one-half hours that he
was not half through his lecture
and thought he ought to return
some time and give the remain
der of it. What he gave was
good and seemed to interest his
audience.
1t seems that the Turkey trot
is quite a popular exercise a.
mong some Of the belligerents
across the branch.
Well, tomorrow's action will
determine who will be the choice
of the people for president and
other offices of the nation and
state. If the claim of Wilson's
adherents is taken as an indica-
ton of the result his election will
be unanimous, or practically 50;
and if the claims of the Progress
sive party shall be accepted as
the result then Col. Roosevelt
will have at least 297 electoral
votes, giving him the election by
thirtytwo majority of the elec-
toral vote; and if we take the
Democratic and Progressive es-
innate of the Taft strength he
will be practically out of the race.
Large claims are usually made
on the eve of the election, but
the result of the ballots cast to-
morrow will be far more reliable
than any of the wild prediction
assertions. Somebody will be
disappointed by the result. One
thing we may all be sure of and
that is the contest for election
has been waged with an unusual
furiosity and with an aggressive
ness not indulged as a rule in
such elections heretofore. We
will see what we will see and be
more able to talk in the light of
events.

A. MUSICIANS ROMANCE.
FanelIis Triumph, That Came After
Thirty Years of Misery. E

The life story of NJ. FaneIli. the com-
poser Of "Tableaux Symphoniques,"
reads like a romance. How easily II
might have read like a tragedy this in
cident will show.
In his youth Fanelli had been cour.
ageous and ambitious, full of dreams
of the music he was going to write for
the world to hear and admire. But
misfortune followed misfortune. He
found 1t impossible to get a hearing
for his compositions, and one by one
his dreams began to fade.
Ten, twenty, thirty years went by.
Fanelli, all hope crushed by continued
adversely. was earning a pittance by
playing night after night in an orches-
ira. Non of his colleagues suspected
his genius, for he kept his ambitions
locked in his heart, as he kept the
symphony, the masterpiece Of his
youth, locked In his desk.
Then one day Fanelli, in search OF
work rs a copyist, called upon Gabriel
Pierne, one Of the great musical celeb
rites OF Paris. Asked to show a sam
pie Of his writing, Fanelli produced
the symphony, which he had brought
with him. Pierne looked at it and saw
that the writing was clear; then he saw
something more, for he continued read
ing the music eagerly.
"Who is this Fanelli?' he asked ut
length.
Myself" answered the composer. II
wrote 1t nearly thirty years ago"
Leave this with me and come again
In a few days"
So Fanelli went out, while Pierne, too
enrapt to say goodby, stood by the
window, porting over the music. A
few days later he announced to the de-
lighted but dazed Fanelli that he was
going to produce the symphony at n
Of the Concerts COlOnne.
On the eventful night Fanelli him
self took a seat with the musicians.
Tears came into his eyes as he heard
the first strains Of his work, neglected
for SO many years. He was not alone
In his emotion, however, for as the
music proceeded tears came into the
" % vi lhC lllC bAho1N III LII VI
rector, the audience. The music took
them by storm. When it was over a
burst Of applause broke out, rose and
swelled and would not die away. The
composer alone sat quiet, as if in deep
thought. Finally he got up, walked
over to Pierne, and with q full heart
expressed his gratitude.
again I thank you. NJ. Pierne," he
said, taking his leave, Good night,
and a good appetite to you"
Pierne wondered at this strange fare
well, but at last the meaning dawned
on him. The applause that was still
ringing through the hall had brought
to Fanelli not only fame, but what for
the moment was of eve more impor-
lance to him, the promise Of easier liv-
ing. The composer Of "Tableaux Sym
phoniques" had left the scene of his
triumph to enjoy a much needed and
rare treat-a good dinner.-Youth's
Companion.

THE ELEVATOR BOY.
In Chicago He Made Rapid Progress
In Becoming an Expert.

~ 1S~S 0h s~Fcie
The first day he is occupied mainly
In learning how TO run his elevator.
The second day he is SO delighted
with his position that he makes every
effort to give all the information asked
Of him.
The third day he gets his uniform
and begins accustoming himself to
telling the passengers to step lively.
The fourth day he learns how to
advise anxious inquirers to look at the
bulletin board or ask the starter.
The fifth day he Is so thoroughly
yersed in the duties of his position
that he can run the car past people
who are yelling Down. or 'Up!" and
three floors away from them watt
back the gentle admonition to punch
the button. Also, he Is now able to
carry the nervous passengers two
floors too far and then refuse to go
back.
The sixth day he is an adept and
demonstrates it by sliding the door
quickly in the face of the man who is
a second late. also by stopping the car
and dropping a couple Of floors to take
on the stenographers with huge blond
rats, who haughtily omit pressing the
button.
He Is now a real elevator boy and
wonders what right the public thinks
II has anyway.-Chlcago Post.
