have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. |. w. LentZ, OF Orders, Breth-

his family got instruction from a distant
physician. AntidoteS were administered
and his life was saved.

tried to cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tions over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 76 years old.

Apples At Auction.

The recently established Department
of Foods and Markets of the State OF New
York is the result OF attempts 10 lessen
the cost OF getting food products from the
producer to the consumer. One OF its
first efforts was to improve the conditions
under which the apple crop OF the State
is marketed. Under the system Of pri-
vate sales, so complicated a method OF
distribution has grown up that the fruit
grower gets too little and the consumer
has to pay too much.
In order to simplify the machinery. the
Department OF Foods and Markets ar
ranged for the sale OF apples at public
auction, as they have long been sold in
London, Paris, and Berlin, and as oranges,
lemons, pineapples, and bananas are now
sold in New York.
The plan provides that carloads OF ap-
plies shipped TO New York City shall pc
sold at the railway terminals and at the
salesrooms of the auction company that
has contracted to do the work. For that
service the growers pay the department
five per cent of the amount of the sale.
One-half OF the five per cent the depart
ment spends in advertising the auctions
among retailers and consumers; the
other half il uses to defray other neces-
sary expenses. The plan provides for
selling pears, and ultimately peaches, in
the same way.
One of the obvious advantages OF this
method is that if saves the expense OF
handling. Another is that, since the
prices are all made public, the grower
knows exactly what his goods sell for in
the open market. Moreover, his ship
ment is sold at once, and he gets the
money for it Immediately. But in carry
ing out such scheme there are difficult
ties to be overcome that have wrecked
many other well-intentoned plans. They
are the difficulties attending any enter
prise that requires cooperation on the
part OF people who, besides being widely
separated, are not used to working to-
gether. IL connection with such matters
as grading the fruit, making up the car
loads, timing the shipments so that too
many carloads shall not reach the city on
one day and too few on the next, the
growers OF New York State will find a
chance to exercise a forethought and a
patience that are none too abundant any
where. If they can learn to pull together
heartily and intelligentlY, they will justify
the establishment OF the Department of
Foods and Markets, and prepare the way
for further efforts TO bring producer and
consumer nearer together.

IT,. Story of A Long Name.

A Northern man who was visiting IN
baltimore stopped on the street one day
n have his shoes polished. A bright
eyed little black boy stepped forward 10
olive the desired shine. Becoming IN
terested in the little chap, the Northerner
asked his name, TO whichthe boy promptly
replied:
Gen, sab -
After a few moments OF silence, the
Nonherner continued, al suppose that IS
an abbreviation for General ?"
The word "abbreviation" gave the little
fellow pause; however, he was equal to
the occasion. and recovered himself.
"No. sah." he said, " faint 'xactly dat;
ma shore 'nough name am Genesis Xxx,
| 80, SO shall my righteousness answer Tor
me in time TO come Washington Carter,
but dey lest call me Gen for short.
Among the passengers on train on 9
one track road in the Middle West, was
a laxative iewelry drummer.
Presently the train stopped to take on
water, and the conductor neglected 10
send back flagman. An express came
along and, before it could be stopped,
bumped the rear end of the first train.
The drummer was lifted from his seat
and pitched head-frst into the seat ahead.
His silk hat was jammed clear down over
his ears.
He picked himself up and settled back
in his seat. No bones were broken. He
drew a long breath, Strengthened up, and
said:
"Well, they didn't get by us, anyway.
Charlie and Nancy had quaneled. After
their supper mother tried to reestabllSh
friendly relations. She told them OF the
Bible verse, LET not the sun 60 down
upon your wrath"
Now Charlie" she pleaded, "are you
going to let the sun 90 down on your
wrath ?"
Charlie squirmed little. Then:
"Well, how can stop it ?"
