PRUNEs WORD AT BALLsroN
Well Known Farmer Has Faith in
Fruit.

0. E. Focht. one of the county IS
farmers who really farms for pro-
fit and understands what profit means
to the farmer, lives at Ballston which
is in Polk county and is said to be
surrounded by the best of soil for
the culture of the prune, is putting
out the modest little number of 1000
prune trees this month on his prop
erty there, according to a small item
which appeared last week in Yam
hill county paper. 1t is probable that
the prunes will find their way from
that ranch to the Dallas packing
plant and the fact that Mr.. Focht has
made a success of farming and fruit
raising may open the optics of some
less progressive men who will later
have fine orchards in the vicinity Of
Ballston and other communities
where the prune has proven a mort
gage litter

His Good Eye.

A man who bad lost the sight Of
both eyes trained his hearing until he
could tell by the sound of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as he made his way
about town whether he WAS IN the
middle of the walk or at one side.
whether he was walking past IA brick
or frame house or fence or open
ground. He knew in what part OF the
town he was not only by his memory
or sense of general direction. but by
the difference in the tones OF his
footsteps. and he walked about freely,
seldom running into anything or any
body. Some one in his presence once
called In question his total blindness.
Which eye do you think | can see
WITH" he asked the sGeptic.
The left one. OF course was the
reply. Il can see that the right one is

In reply the blind man merely

BOUND over ON
LARCENY CHARGE
Foreigner Accused by Saloonist
Discloses Sunday Selling of
Booze.

Magistrate Gustafson this morning
held Justin Damaszavsh to the grand
jury under $500 bond. on the charge
of stealing a watch and $12 from the
saloonkeeper, Bronislaw Aikocaitis,
1902 Third avenue. The defendant de-
MED the theft which is alleged to have
been committed last Tuesday, and in
cidental TO his defense, put the saloon
keeper in bad with the authorities TO
the extent that he will be compelled
! TO pay a fine for selling liquor on Sun
day. DamasZayski swore that while
he was in the saloon that day he had
never been in the second story room
/ from which the property is alleged to
/ have been stolen, except on the three
/ Sundays preceding the theft, when he
went there for the purpose of buying
beer. However his testimony was
contradicted by Charles GTammat, the
saloon porter, and Mary Zukosky. a
friend of the saloonkeeper's wife, who
swore that when she went upstairs
Damaszavsh jumped off the back
this. On the day of the theft, Aikocaitis
and Grammat went in search of Da-
masTasski, and finally saw him on
a passing car. They called to him
TO get off. When he complied with
their request, they taxed him with
the theft. Upon his denial, they at
tackled him, in order to wiring a con,
fession from him, and when the police
re-ched the scene, the twain were Civ
ing him an unmerciful beating, q con
sequence of which was one badly in

Il Would Take 10000 Sheets to Make

Gold beating is one Of the Oldest
trades in Birmingham. The work is
done entirely by hand. The leaf is
hammered out in small home work
shops from tweIty-four carat gold. but
is first sent to the rolling mills. whence
it is returned in long. thin ribbons
one and quarter inches wide and a
thousandth part of an inch in thick
ness. Then it is ready for the beater.
The ribbon is generally cut off into
small ia inch squares. weighing
about six grains.
The thin square is placed in the CEN
ter of a vegetable parchment pad, con-
siSting of 100 sheets on top and the
same number beneath. This is beaten
with a fourteen pound hammer, and
the gold. when considerably reduced in
thickness. is placed between leaves OF

Eight hundred pieces of the ham
