The evolution OF the Iltne' IS Il 500
Of itself Less than Two months ago,
the first small five passenger touring

G!ty streets. offering rlde tor fht

small touring ears We're in operation
over fixed routes taking as much
business from the street railway com
pany as the iitneys could handle.
Then appeared the first automo-
| bile with the bus bodv, With large
! carrying capacity Jitney drivers
were quick to see that the increase
| in carrying capacity was far ahead
of the increase in cost Of operation
! Soon many auto delivery wagons
made their appearance with seats on
both sides Instantly they became
popular both with the jitney fans and
with the drivers. The latter discoy-
cred that a light speedy truck stood
up better under the wear and tear
than the converted pleasure cars.
| Then, too, the purchaser of truck
| ran no risk in his investment should
the jitney business prove failure.
They reasoned they would still have
a serviceable car for delivery work,
! A further development of the jit-
ney truck was the scheme of several
| drivers to use their cars as buses dur
ing the rush hours and contract for
| delivery work for some large firm
from 8 a. m. to p. m

sheep, minus the cost of caring for
them, had been promised him when

. An Artists Criticism.

Falguiere, the sculptor, told a capital story of Henner, the great artist, who although he lived in Paris all his life, never lost his Alsattan peasant ac- cent or his country manners. But Henner was very keen critic and had a clever way of showing his dis like of wordy enthusiasm. Fa1guiere, whose talent as a sculptor is known all the world over, was very fond of paint ing, but he did not paint particularly well. One day Henner was in his studio, and Falgufre showed him some of his pictures.
 What do you think of this one?' asked Falguiere.
 "4Superbp' said Henner, with his AL sation accent. ''Marfelous!'
 @sAnd this one?''
 'fBrodftchousP
 'tAnd this one?
 ''Suplime!'' 7
 Then the old man picked up a little bust which his friend had just finished:
 'tAh:' he said s.Now, dat's good!'
 'I never painted after that,' said Falguiere.

Trick of the Lenot, Brewers.

By an interesting yet simple method two crops of lemons are obtained fn Sicily during the year. though the sec ond is in every way inferior. The abnormal fruit is known as the Vet delli lemon and is marketed during tile summer months. The Verdelli lemon, green in color, grows contemporaneoud- ly on the same trees with the ordinary or yellow lemon of commerce and Is obtained by the following method: THe lemon tree, which flowers in April, Ss kept without water from that period until July, when the roots are heavily flooded for a time This results in second set of blossoms, from whica will come the Verdelli lemons. The ordinary lemon crop is picked in the months beginning with October but the Verdellf lemons do not mature until the next May.-Argonaut.
