APPLES.

Chicago Record-Herald: Rev. DR..
NJ. p. Boynton asks US to think Of
apples. 'He, says: THE ground of ev-
cry orchard is covered with the rot
ting fruit that the farmer cannot ever
feed to his hogs. Yet apples are Of
fered at a bargain on Sixty-third
street atT4rcents a pound"
Apples are also offered in Chicago
1t three for 10 cents and at IS cents
a dozen, and there is no doubt as to
the thousands that are rotting. on
farms in this state n not far from
this city a huge crop is practically
abandoned. The farmers say that 1t
will not pay them to try to market
the fruit.
( There are certain explanations that
should not be ignored These ADAM
doned apples are not the kind that
are selling at IS cents a dozen. The
farmers are more interested in corn
than they are In apples and they do
not give their orchards the care that
secures the best fruit. Nevertheless

GOVERNMENT By CONCESSION
ARIES.

III would not blame The McNicans,
said 2 prominent North Dakota MAJ
recently. If they were to cancel cv-
ery concession held by foreigners in
their country, u repudiate every
claim that the we IF these ccnces-
sions should make. I say this i'll spite
of the fact that have come small
investments i'll Mexico myself. and IN
sritc Of the knowledge that there are
persons Interested in Mexican prop
critics whose interests arc legitimate.
md who have liz desire to deal harsh
Ia or dishonesty with the people of
that country. Thc trouble is that
he whole country has been exploited
hv foreign capitalists, and m"n IN au-
~.hurity have sold concession after con-
.rssiun. until the rulintrN's val
liable have passed into the
possession ot outsiders, and the people
40 whom these valuable properties
rrall,. belong have received no hene-
iii. lnit OH the contrary. they nave
'men ground under tho heel of for
ci-,, lnonupolists who have had no
regard for their welfare. and no con-
.epticn Of any attitude toward them
except to wiring from them all in tho
shape OF labor that could he wrung.
THAT tells the story Of Mexico in y
few words. The country has been en-
pIuitcd to death. l,iax maintained
himself in power ,y means of an
arlny supported by funds paid by for
ciesn syndirates for special privileges
in oil. in orc. in everything that was
marketable. \ great deal of the dis
turbancc With which the country has
hcen cursed has been du" to the con.
tests between men who had valuable
concessions and men who wanted
them. Among the partisans in this
struggle have been the Pearson oh
interests of England and our own
Ste ndard-tJil company. If these con.
tending interests. could be eliminated

SLAUGHTER HOUSE EQUIPMENT

The matter Of selecting the render
ing equipment for the municipal
slaughter house has been settled defn-
itely. and there will he installed an in
expensive tank to serve for the pres
elt. There has been sonc difference
nf opinion on the subject, and because
of the request Of some of the resi-
ents the special meeting Of the coun-
Gil was held yesterday afternoon to
give the subject further consideration.
rho postponcIl1ent of action until aft
CT thai meeting was wise in that it
=ave 4 good many interested persons
an opportunity. to listen to q VERY inter-
csting and informative discussion, and
information ON the subject is now
more widely distributed than it was
before.
1t was the desire IF all concerned
to have the city supplied with an
equipment which would do the work
required in a satisfactory manner and
to spend as little Of the citys money
as vas. consistent with the achieve
ment: of that object. The difference
of opinion was as to whether .,r not
the tank proposed would do this work
satisfactorily. On the assurance of
the city engineer. who has studied the
subject i'm detail and obtained Il great
deal. Of information on it, that the less
expensive installment would. supply
the probable need of the city for a
year or two. or possibly longer, the
council adhered to it's original deter
mination, and the tank a: first decided
on will be installed.
1t is not the part Of good citizenship
to quarrel with this decision. 1t was
proper to seek to have it changed SO
long as there was Il possibility Of do
Ing so, provided those making the ef-
fort were convinced, as they undoubt-
eddy were, that the proposed plan was
not the best, Now that the matter
Is definitely settled the thing most
eerviceable will be for all concerned
to cooperate in any further steps to-
ward making the new plant of the
highest possible use to the city. This
part Of the subject is closed, not to
be reopened.. until actual experience
shall warrant its reopenins.

by. who a moment before had been
cooling and laughing in his very face,
was pinned under; the wreckage. All
thought Of the %penitentiary vanished.
Billy plunged at his task Of rescue,
working %furiously. yet careful not to
dislodge any Of the timbers in such q
way that. they would fall OH the little
prisoner.
1t was a hard task and not q short
one. though other willing hands soon
had Joined to Billy's. But in the end
both the plump baby it, young
mother were extricated from the
wrecked q In the a were dead
and badly injured. but the baby and
its mother were unhurt, except for a
few bruises. When the car had ca
reened to one side the back Of the
seat on which they had been sitting

imprison both Of them, but also to
protect them from the broken glass
and timbers. But il it had not been

work there was a chance that they
would not have. been released until
the flames. which now were sweeping
through the mass of wreckage. had
rendered 1t too late.
When. Billy realized that the plump
baby and its mother were safe ne
drew a long breath Of relief. Then he
suddenly realized that among the
men who had been assisting him was
Sheriff Wilson. The sheriff had been
only slightly injured, and as soon as
he regained his senses. regardless OF
the blood which was pouring from the
cut in his forehead, had rushed to
help in the work Of rescue. Now he
turned to Billy.

whose gruffn5ss tried IN vain to con.
ceal Its kindness.
He glanced sharply at Billy as he
spoke. But it. was not the look OF a
sheriff toward his prisoner. but such
as n brave man gives another. Billy
met it with as straightforward q
glance. For a moment he was no
longer the convict. but a man who
had made his choice bravely and we'll

Billy looked at the plump baby and
its mother. She was weeping. but her
tears were not those Of grief. And
Billy did not regret his lost chance to
escape nor the choice he had taken.
Even without the sheriff's last words
he felt that it had been a good one.

came groans. shrieks, calls for help
and all the leart-brcak king accompani-

turned the balance. Even as Billy
stood undecided he heard a frightened
