INHABITANTS OF THE MIND
Always in the Child, or Youth, or
Man, Accompanied by the One He
Knows Above All Others.

Real men and women are not the
only people. Our minds are inhabited
as truly as any other country. Every
child has his invisible playmate, to
whom he talks more freely than to his
parents, and with whom he goes upon
strange adventures tiny Columbus
with whom he embarks upon the wa
tiers of the bathtub to discover new
land or rowing De Soto, with whom
he ships through the garden gate, un-
attended and unafraid, always before
he is three years old, bent upon an
excursion into the wilderness which
lies across the brook in the field or in
the woods. If you are the father or
mother of this child you never can
understand that-how the timid baby
who was never before out of your
sight could have gone so far alone.
Why, when you found him, stained
with his travels, very tired, almost
nodding, he was still confident, preoc-
cupied, and bent upon a farther pill
grimage into the unknown. 1t is be-
cause ne was not alone. lie was &C
companied by another whom he knows
better than he will ever know father
or mother-one of those companions
of his own fancy, about whom he new
er tells you or anyone else.
These people grow up like other
people. The little child has his ia
miliar, and the young man has his
ideal" always a woman-not the
one he marries, nor even the one he
might have married. but one whom he
never saw in the flesh; a yelled and in
scrutable presence who never forsakes
him. And when he grows old, and
the wife he did marry grows old, she
remains young, fairer than the lilies,
sweeter than honey-dew upon the
leaves of June.-Corra Harris, in Har-
per's Magazine.

Cut out all cracked, split and broken
limbs. Take out all dead or dying
branches and remove any dried up
fruits that may be still hanging to the
twigs. All such wood and fruit should
be taken from the orchard and burned.
Dead wood and mummied fruit harbor
insects and disease spores. The de.
struction of this source of infection
now, will materially aid in the de-
velopment of clean, sound fruit later
in the year. AS far as possible, notice
the relative position the main limbs
will occupy when loaded with fruit
and see if any crossing can be
eliminated. At the same time con.
slider what excess of leaf producing
wood can be removed to prevent too
much shading of the fruit during the
summer. Fruit will not develop fully
and open up the head sufficiently to
allow of free circulation of air
through the tree and the exposure OF
as much fruit as possible to direct sun.
light.
Head back judiciously. Heavy prun.
ing tends to promote new growth. In
some instances it may be necessary to
stimulate the development of new
wood. Trees that seem to be lacking
in vigor, that are apparently not
making much Roadway, can often be
rejuvenated and brought into thrifty
condition by severe cutting. AS a
rule, however, it is advisable to re-
move only about one-fourth to one.
third of the new wood from young
trees making normal growth. This
applies principally to such trees as
apple and pear that produce fruit buds
on old wood. With the peach, condi.
tons are different. Here the fruit
buds are developed on new wood,
hence it may be profitable to cut back
these trees more severely SO as to
stimulate heavier growth of annual
wood.

Another Way of Putting II.

In police court an inspector was
giving evidence Of the arrest of the
prisoner.
Il went to No. 81" he said, in a
dignified staccato fashion that came
from long practice, where l saw the
prisoner in bed. / said: I have a
warrant for your arrest for burglari-
ously entering the premises at -"
and so on.
At the end of the inspectors evil
dent the magistrate asked the pris-
oner:
ANY questions?"
yes, SIR said the prisoner, and
he intimated that the inspector had
not given his evidence correctly. I'm
sure" he said, "MrSJackson"-the in
spector-" don't want to say only what
is true. Didn't you come to my room"

Wise Generation.

Many are the errors which have
been committed in the world, and
which child would not commit now,
SO it seems.
The present generation sees clear
ly; it wonders at the errors; it laughs
at the lack of understanding of it's
ancestors, not perceiving that those
chronicles were writ with heavenly
fire, that every letter in them cries
aloud, that a penetrating finger is
pointed thence at it-at the present
generation; but the present genera
ton laughs and begins proudly, self
confidently, a series of fresh aber-
rations, at which its descendants will
hereafter laugh in their turn.-Gogol

Medicine Along the Nile.

All children-and most grownups-
object to medicines in general, and
bad-tasting doses in particular. I'M
agine the feelings of the little Egyp-
tian boy in the year 800 B. c., who
had to swallow this favorite prescrip-
ton of the physicians along the Nile:
Take a great scarabaeus beetle, cut
Off his head and wings, and boil him;
put him in oil and lay him out; then
cook his head and wings, put them in
snake fat, boil and let the patient
drink the mixture" The modern
Egyptian uses almost precisely the
same recipe, excepting that the snake
fat is replaced by modern oil.

MOTHER HAD FoREsEEN 1T
Sammy Was There With the Ex-
pected "Break," Just as Had
Been Looked For.

Upstairs in the nursery Sammy
was receiving final instructions from
his earnest young mother as to his
behavior at the dinner party that eve
ming.
Sammy was not going to be present
during the whole of the feast. His
activities were confined to the latter
coffee-and-fruit part of it. Neverthe-
less, his mother knew from past ex-
perience that this would give her
young hopeful ample time in which
to disgrace the family.
Remember, DEAR" she said, CDR.
Pung Sang Haug is a Chinese gentle
man and your fathers friend. He
may be dressed in a way that you
will think funny, but, Sammy, you will
be good little boy, and not stare at
him or say anything, won't your"
Sammy vowed that he would be a
model of virtue and politeness.
When the time arrived, he was ush-
cred into the dining-room, and beheld
the worthy Chinaman in all the mag
nificence of silks and pigtail. For a
long time he confined, by a mighty
effort, his attention to an apple, but
at last he just had to speak.
Mother" he said, in a penetrating
whisper, eff the gentleman wasn't a
friend of daddy's wouldn't he be
funny?"

suez Canal ! plsappolntment.

In some respects the Suez canal was
a disappointment. 1t was to cost eight
million pounds, and be wide enough
to take two vessels at any point The
bill at the end of ten years actually
come to 16,633,00O pounds and the
canal was only wide enough for the
passage OF single vessel except at
certain sidings. For political reasons
De Lesseps avoided the direct route
and gave his canal an eastward turn
when few miles from the old town
And many visitors expressed surprise
that the "Suez" canal never went to
Suez at all!

Ancient Servants.

Francis Grierson, the English mu.
stefan and author, writes Of the French
composer Auber in the Century for Oc-
tober that "if ! were asked to name
the most typical Frenchman / ever
met ! should not hesitate to name
Auber." The composer at the time
spoken of was eighty-five, and among
his idiosyncrasies was his preference
for servants of equally advanced years.
He had five domestics, "the youngest,
whom he called the baby, being the
coachman, who was seventy-five."

RULES TO OBSERVE IN DEVELOP

Is, 1914.
One of the biggest difficulties in UNI
dertaking to develop or build up a
market by parcel-post is to find your
customer. AS the old darkey's recipe
for chicken pot-pie ran First get your
chicken" SO parcol-post marketing is
contingent upon first getting your GUS
toner. The impression first made
with your customer largely determines
the continuance of the business, and
right here, | might as we'll speak Of
quality. If would hold him, don't try
to market anything you would not be
willing to use yourself. Study the
wants and desires of your customer
and supply him with what he wants
and is willing to pay for II after
studying this matter over and perhaps
after making a trial, you decide that
it is too much bother, would then
say to you, IF you are not willing to
hustle for better market than you
now enjoy, don't kick about the re-
turns you receive" The only way to
secure business is to go after it, and
once you have it keep it by all proper
means.

The great success of the Weeks
Short Course in Domestic Science at
the Agricultural College last winter
was due in a large measure to the
charming and effective way in which
lIrs. G. M. Foulke, lecturer from the
Ohio State University. handled her
commonplace. everyday subjects.
Her talks on 1.-THE Kitchen" and
"The Cuts and Uses Of Meat" were
filled with practical helpfulness for the

The Bed Hour.

1t does not matter what time you
go to bed so long as you have regu-
lar hour and stick to 1t. The old
saying that an hour Of sleep before
midnight is worth two after Is not
true. but it has this much truth in
1t: That the early hours of sleep
are worth more than the later The
man who remains healthy goes to
bed about the same hour every night,
and 1t makes little difference whether
the hour be nine p. m. or three a. m.

Traffic Congested at Third Street


The congested traffic condition at
Market and Third streets has bobbed
up again. On New Years Day the
driver of the United Steam Fire En-
CINE Company averted serious con-
dition in turning into West Third
street by running the apparatus to
the sidewalk. But for the drivers
presence of mind serious damage
might have resulted.
For the past two years traffic con-
gestion at Third and Market streets,
Fourth and Market streets and Fifth
and Market streets has been the cause
of no little trouble to members of the
city police force and city officials.
Owners of teams stand the vehicles
at right angles with the curbs, leav-
ing only a small space in the center
of the street. Besides blocking the
street, this condition is dangerous to
traffic.
Mayor Fraley said last night that
the question would be threshed out at
the next meeting of the Board of AL
dermen. ut must be settled this
time," declared the Mayor. For
months we have been worried over
this very question and have secured
only temporary relief Many residents
have filed complaints.

Better Roads at Less Cost.

A saving of several thousand dol
lars in the county's road system is
likely to be reported when the County
Commissioners have completed the
work of settling with road supervisors.
Yesterday the commissioners settled
with supervisors of Liberty district
and re-appointed them. Three super
visors were not heard from. 1t is be-
lieved that this district will show
saving of more than $50 over last
year.
One of the commissioners said yes
terday afternoon that this saving is
likely to continue throughout the dis
tricts of the county. He declared that
although not as much money had been
spent in Liberty district the roads in
that section were in better condition
than they have been for years. Bet
ter roads at less cost is the aim of this
board" said the commissioner.
The supervisors for Liberty district
are: Amos Warner, of Union Bridge;
Richard H. Norris, George Nice. Nus
baum, Raymond o. Young, Milton M.
Nash, Daisey E. Smelser, of Liberty;
John D. Smith, James W. Appleby, of
Union Bridge; Charles w. Smith, of

James F. Haifeigh, Liberty.
new road was granted in the vi
entity of Emmitsburg. The road is to
be more than mile in length and
will pass through the property of AL
lison, Ohler, Hobbs, Fuss, Troxell and
Mrs. Mead Fuss.

up Braddock and Frederick districts.
The supervisors are required to file a
list of all tools and materials on hand.

Branches.
S. B. SHAW,
Maryland Agricultural College

Begin planning now for next sea-
sons fruit crop Every effort put
forth at this time means more fruit
of better quality next fall. Many OF
the trees need to be pruned. A sharp,
wide-set hand saw and good hand
pruning shear will greatly facilitate
this work. In removing branches
from the main limbs or body of the
tree, make smooth, clean cut with
out leaving any stub: If the cut sur
face is over an inch in diameter, apply
a coat of paint to protect the wound
until it has become covered with a
natural growth of bark. Any color of
any brand will do, so long as it ac-
complishes the purpose for which it is
applied.

DUCKTOWN ON THE MAP.

Not since the Polk COUNTY REPUBLICAN
put the Ducktown Basin on the map has it
been so signally recognized until the State
Bankers Association elected Chas. E. Tay-
lor as its treasurer.
This association met at Nashville, last
week and bankers from almost every county
in the state we're present
It is a big institution, this association,
but when it came to Ducktown for its
treasurer for one of its most important of
fcials, it proved its right to be SO desig-
mated.
Mr. Taylor as cashier of the Ducktown
Banking Co., has shown himself to be
man of unusual ability and his election
shows that this ability is known and recog-
nized throughout the state.
He bears his honors. with becoming
modesty, but he is busy receiving the con-
gratulations of his many friends.

much of team, had several players that

Third base is a hard position to play and
it is going to be a problem to find player
who will fill Hunnicutt's place. The only
thing that is in sight is to play Cabe at
third and let Spargo play center This he
can do, when not pitching, and his hitting
is needed in every game.
The score was II to E in favor of Duck
