Congressman Drove Mule and Was Proud of It

VT IS not often that mule will help q man to get into congress, but this very thing happened in the case of William N. Baltz, who represents the Twenty-second Illinois district. He is the man who succeeded Representa- tive Rodenberg.
 Baltz is a farmer. and he is proud of it. in his youth he was offered an opportunity to obtain a college educa- tionv but he declined. saying that he preferred to devote his time to his farm. So he went to work and farmed right up to the minute that it became necessary for him to come to con gress. Furthermore, he will farm some more, whenever congress ad- journs.
 There were those people in his dis trict who were politically opposed to him that thought 1t would be a fine scheme to expose the fact that he drove mule around home, and they spread this scandal" far and wide.
 After the story had been going the rounds for two or three weeks Baltz was called on one night down at Belle vilio to mako his first political speech.

LITTLE THINGS TO
 DO IN AN ORCHARD
Norway Spruce, Scotch and Aus trian Pine All Make Excel
 lent Wind Breaks.

Peach trees under four years old discolored wood must be cut off be low tie snow line and allowed tc sprout again.
 Very often trees that have passed through hard winter show no indi cations of freezing in the bark, but an examination may show that the wood is injured.
 An orchard on high ground should always be protected by wind break of other trees planted on the north side.
 Norway spruce, Scotch and Aus trian pine, planted about 15 feet apart, make excellent wind breaks.
 Now is the time to remove all dead branches and those that are weak, and which interfere with other healthy branches.
 Do not allow sheep to run in the young orchard They are very apt to nibble the tender sprouts and even bark the trees.
 A few years ago eastern peach grow CTS extensively tried out the use of crude petroleum as an insecticide. But while 1t kills the bugs 1t often causes great injury to the trees.
 If used at all, it should be applied in the late fall or very early spring and never during hot weather.

One of the best authorities on horti- culture says that where tree started in to develop 4,000 apples, 2.000 of them should be pulled off In order that the remaining 1000 may reach per lection.
 The advantages of thinning are so many that they are hard to enumer- ate. Thinning of fruit is advantage ous to any variety of fruit tree, as the tendency of nature is to crowd a numerous number of fruit buds on trees in favorable years.
 When you pull half or third of the young fruit from a tree you save the energies of the tree, writes a Missouri Man in the Farm Progress. On a good many occasions experiments in the amount of potash required on thinned and unthinned trees have been made. Trees that have been thinned correct ly require just about half as much of this form of plant food as the tree that is permitted to go ahead with the en- tire complement of fruit buds.
 Color sells apples. There is no doubt of that in the mind of anyone who has watched the apple-buying public. An enormous percentage of the worlds apple crop is sold from fruit stands and from peddlers' push carts. The color is the most desirable fac tor for such sales. Unfortunately the great mass of the apple-buying public has not yet learned that color Is not always an indication of quality
 If you want color, deep, gorgeous color, thin your fruit Let the sun shine hit the cheeks of the apple. The more nearly the sunlight can play up on all sides of the apple the better the color is going to be. The same thing is true of other varieties of fruit When you thin apples the ripen. ing is going to be very uniform and complete, and the colors and hues will run from stem to tip of the apple. The apples will not be green on one side and ripe on the other.
 Examine a fruit spur, and you will find that it usually has three, four, five and maybe six small fruit buds. The accepted rule for thinning is to remove all small fruits until no apple, pear or peach is closer than six inches to it's nearest neighbor
 After the small fruits are taken off the remaining buds start vigorously on their development. They are get ting the energy that would otherwise have been distributed through three times as many growing fruit. They cannot help but develop more quickly and more vigorously.
 When I thin fruits I wait until the baby apples, pears and peaches have had time to show defects in the in ferior ones Take off the wormy, the one-sided, the small and the twisted

Hidden Wealth Lost; Stove Is Worst Offender

either lost or hoarded up by curio collectors
 Dogs, cats, pigs, goats and calves ap- pear to be the chief offenders when it comes to eating paper bills. Re gently the redemption division was compelled to examine the stomach of dog that had swallowed $20 bill dropped by his owner. The bill was thought to be worth more than the dog, so the animal was killed. Calves mutilate paper money worse than any other animal Goats appear to give 1t Tick and a promise" and swallow the whole roll.
 Men in the redemption division as- sert that in cases where animals swal- low bills the proper course Is to get the bills as soon as possible and to ship the whole mass to Washington to be unfolded and tested as to it's gonuineness.
 Decidedly the larger part of money sent to Washington for redemption is said to have been mutilated by fire. The parlor stove is great source of loss. During the summer months money is concealed in the stove and in the fall is sent up in smoke in the first fall fire.

WASHINGTON" doth w make towards of us all," re- marked MT. Shakespeare, which only shows that Shakespeare, was hep to humanity and wrote good many things that other people merely thought. This philosophy on morals may not have been written with par ticular view to janitors, but there are several cases in Washington where 1t would apply There is one widely dis cussed at the capitol, where it is we'll known that Superintendent Elliot Woods can leave jewels and precious stones or anything else he happened to have lying around with perfect 1ooseness, and there is not a laborer on the place who would not walk around the block to avoid going near them
 Quite while ago the senate labora- tory was not the commodious struc- ture it is now, but merely private laboratory and workshop for MT. Woods. He was an electrical expert

This Model Shop Was Rather an Eerie Place

M HEN the model shop of the Smith w Sonian Institution was down by the railroad tracks in South Washing Palmer, who were in the shop, had the surrounding population "buffaloed" to the extent that it was never necessary to lock a door. The model shop was rather an eerie place, anyhow, with it's atmosphere of plaster of paris, half dismembered bodies and statues and rugs and skins and almost' anything else queer that happened to float through the museum. There were a lot of life masks in plaster, and the residents of the shop were believed by all the small boys and many of the adults of the vicinity to be body snatchers and to make their living by questionable and occult arts, including Human vivisection.
 V The thing that made the place sa- cred, or rather baleful, to illiterate neighbors was human skeleton that lived in the back of the shop and that Nby simple arrangement of overhead cords could be made to get up off a chair and walk into the shop.
 There is one of the clerks up in the war department who is an amateur naturalist of some attainment. He is also a smoker and is in the habit of keeping small reserve supply of to- baco in jar on his desk, So that he ca2 replenish his pouch if he runs short during the day.

then, as he is now, and was always fooling with anything from wireless to high frequency currents. He mo- ticed at one time that good many of his small personal possessions dis appeared if he did not lock them up, and as he seldom thought to lock any thing up, the lost list increased to an annoying extent.
 One day he built a large lyden jar out of a big china bowl and little tin foil. He dropped lot of pennies and nickels and dimes into it and charged it with enough juice" to kill an OK maybe, or at least enough to make the it on a sheet of glass and walked off, leaving the door of the laboratory open.
 It was not long before one of the outside laborers slipped in and took 8 look around That bowl of small change was an irresistible temptation, and he evidently thought a few would not be missed. He ran his hand into the bowl, but before he could grasp 8 nickel he felt as though some one had hit him on the funny gone with an ax. He gave wild yell and landed in the middle of the property yard. Since that time it has been well and gen. orally known that MT Woods puts conjures" on anything that belongs to him and you could not hire anybody at the capitol to touch thing of his.

MONKS IF BRUSSELS
Priest of Belgium's Capita
 Shown SCant Courtesy.
Clerics Are Real Rulers of Land, But Supremacy Is Menaced by the Socialists of the Kingdom
 Who Seek Suffrage.

Berlin.-A priest comes down the street, in low-topped, broad-brimmed hat, flowing black robes reaching to his ankles, and wearing low-heeled half-shoes. Halfway along the block we meet another, then a pair, then a tensured cleric of a different order, in a gray robe with hanging hood. We are in a Catholic country, but not a hat comes off as the somber figures French or Flemish equivalent of the top iv tn mornin' to ye, father" With markedly pugnacious features, under shot jaws, determined, clear eyes, these militant churchmen go their un- perturbed away, regardless of those they meet.
 The street scene is Brussels. When I made the acquaintance of these real rulers of the land their supremacy was being contested by 100000 Socialists, who had abandoned mine, quarry and factory throughout Belgium to en force their demand for revision of the electoral system of the kingdom which gives to some men three votes but only one to the ordinary laborer The strikers won a partial victory Word comes of the appointment of 8 commission to which is to be entrust ed the desired revision How far this revision will go cannot, of course, be predicted, and the Socialists triumph may turn out to have been illusory, but I do not think it will. King Albert secretly favors a change, and the re- sponsible leaders of the government. Catholic though they are, know that to disappoint the workingmen again for they have been disappointed a number of times-would mean another strike, and that strike would not be a peaceful one It would make all Bel gium run blood.
 Brussels has much to interest the tourist Next to Antwerp it possesses the finest Rubens, it has a splendid statue of Godfrey de Bouillon, the cru sader, who was born in the province of Brabant, and it has probably the most beautiful gothic tower in the world Ii crowns the Hotel de Ville in the Grande place, and rises into the air as

THE United States has made mill lions of dollars through the efforts of thrifty people to place their sur plus wealth beyond the reach of thieves. Goats, calves, dogs and other animals have eaten hundreds of rolls of bills that would have been far safer in banks Parlor stoves also appear to be profitable source of loss,
 But for the work of the redemption division of the treasury department the loss in many cases would be total. As it is much of the money is re- deemed, but to date Uncle Sam is $14,000,000 richer than he would have been had he never issued paper money. Millions of the fractional currency notes have been offered for redemption and together with later issues, are

 At night we sit at one of the little tables which fill the sidewalks in front of the cafes and hotels and drink beer and the beer tells us that we are not in Germany, for 1t is very bad. We miss another thing to which we are accustomed in Germany. Nobody says i: You're foreigners, ain't you?" But an English girl, passing along the side walk with a basket on her arm, picks us out, approaches and offers for sale some post cards. We are not especial ly moral, but we don't buy them and one of the younger men in the party blushes redly as he looks them over. Some of the least objectionable we shall see later in shop windows. It may be only matter of taste, after all, but it doesn't suit our taste. How ever, "the matter of morality is judged by the locality. Other countries, oth- CT customs"

He found, finally, that it was impos sible to keep any tobacco on hand and whenever he wanted it in hurry the jar was sure to have been emptied. The inhabitants of Ireland have noth- ing on the sons of Ham when it comes to dreading snakes. All snakes look alike to them and they are all deadly, merely because they are snakes, quite regardless of the species. The clerk knew this quite well and, carefully washing out the tobacco dust from the jar, he one day dropped perfectly harmless grass snake into it and put on the lid.
 That afternoon he stayed late with a draftsman who was working over. time in an adjoining room. About 5:30 there was an agonized yell from the neighborhood of his desk and one of the janitors passed through the room in a blinding cloud of dust and took the stairs three at a time without waiting for the elevator.

Thirteen-Year-Old New York Girl Gains Speech After Long State

New York.-Jeanette Guttman, the thirteen-year-old Bronx girl who has been lying in state of coma at the Hydropathic institute since July 30, attracting the attention of specialists throughout the country, was pro- nounced fully recovered.
 The girl does not recall anything that transpired since July 90. In the period of trance her pulse ranged from 1G0 to 120, and at times slight tenn peratare changes indicated the pres ence of fever, which passed quickly.

ones. They are hopeless, anyway. By doing this the tree Is rid of great number of infested spots, fungous and otherwise.
 When young orchard Is starting in to bear, thinning Is an absolute requirement, if there is any great amount of fruit on them. In the first place, they set far more fruit than they can possibly develop without ac- tually hurting and stunting the future growth of the tree. Then, too, if the fruit Is permitted to stay on the tree, the overladen limbs will begin to bend, snap off and twist down as soon as the fruit is three quarters grown.
 Peaches, plums, pears, quinces and other fruits cannot be matured as they should be without proper thin ming. Pears require less thinning than the other varieties mentioned. So far as cherries are concerned, I rarely bother with them.
