GETS 2-CENT MONEY ORDER
Two-Cent Balance is Paid Through Ex-
press Company by Kansas
Woman.

The smallest money order ever made
out by the agent for the local express
company was given to woman to pay
on an account owed to mail-order
house, according to a Blackwell story
printed in the Ardmoreite. The wom-
an had received letter from the mail
order house notifying her that she
owed the firm two cents. Indignant
and unable to realize the spirit that
would prompt anyone to mail bill
for two cents, the woman decided that
a post office stamp would not suffice
and that only money order would do.
The fee for the order was three cents
and the postage stamp necessary to
carry it cost two cents more, so that
with the two-cent postage stamp that
carried the bill to the woman seven
cents was expended in collecting a
two-cent debt.--Kansas City Journal.

SUMMER SPRAYING is URGED
Among Pests to Combat Are Cooling
Moth, Plum and Apple curculios
and Tent CaterpiIIars.

BY summer spraying is meant ap
plications during the period of foliage.
The work is directed principally
against bud, leaf and fruit-eating in
sects, and an arsenical is chiefly used.
Contact insecticides, exclusively used
in dormant-tree spraying, are also en-
ployed in dilute condition in the con-
troll Of certain insects, as aphides, pear
psylla, leaf-hoppers, etc., but by far
the largest part of summer spraying
consists in the application of arsen-
icals, either in water or more general
ly in bordeaux mixture, effecting in
the latter case, combination treat
ments for fungous and insect troubles
Two arsenicals ARE chiefly used,
namely, paris green and arsenate Of
lead. The aim is to use these about

as strong as the foliage will stand
without injury, though well-made ar
senate of lead may be used in unnec-
essarily large quantities without injury
to most plants. The foliage of some
fruits, as apple, pear, ounce and grape
is but rarely injured by effective
strengths OF paris green, and perhaps
never by well-made arsenate Of lead.
But the foliage of stone fruits, as
cherry, plum and peach, is on the
whole quite tender, and arsenicals
must be employed with caution.
The principal pests to be controlled
are codling moth, the plum and apple
curculios, and the lesser apple worm,
which affect the fruit; and the bud
moth, canker worms and tent cater
pillars, which eat the foliage. While
these several pests exhibit individual
peculiarities in feeding, system of
spraying can be followed which will
greatly reduce them.

Lamps Of Early Times.

Lamps were in general use among
the Jews, Greeks and Romans, and
the other great nations of antiquity,
but they were Of the rudest descrip.
ton. and consisted for the most part
OF a simple vessel which held oil,
grease or wax, from the surface Of
which projected wick.
The light obtained was Of the fee
blest description. the flame had no
protection whatever from the wind,
and the smell which arose could only
have been rendered endurable from
the fact that use is second nature"
The Greeks and Romans lavished
much artistic excellence upon their
lamps, making them with one wick,
two wicks, or 30 or 40 wicks. But
they did not improve their construc-
ton one step. and to all practical in
tents and purposes they were no bet
ter than the saucer Of tallow with its
floating cotton which may yet be
found faring and guttering and smok-
ing In some OF the out-of-the-way cor
ners of our own far western land.

STONY SOILS AND ORCHARDS
Stones Do Not Necessarily Imply That
Land Is observation-disclosures No
Peculiar Advantage.

A stony loan is often recommended
as desirable fruit soil, but stones are
advantageous only in that they may
help soil that is too heavy or clayey
or too impervious. by making 1t some
what more pervious to water. The
fact that soil Is stony does not neces-
sarily imply that 1t is productive.
II apples are to be grown with prof
1t, and competition Is keen, the soil
must be productive or at least capable
OF being brought to productive state
and 30 maintained.
Much of the current belief that
"stony" soils possess some peculiar
advantage for orchard fruits has un-
doubtedly arisen from the success Of
many orchards located on stony hills.

it was, as he said, that there is always
something away down in the soul of
every woman which some time or an
other draws her mate to her.
He got down to the causes of the
caustic temper of Beauty when he
first met her. and learned that her soul
was asleep because there had been no
love in all her life to awaken it. SO
when they were married he just loved
her. He made his home the most
radiant place Beauty had ever seen In
all her young life through the tender
ness of his smile, and the gentleness
Of his presence. He helped her make
a garden in which the flowers seemed
only to need his touch to make them
grow more luxuriously than in any
other garden she had ever seen, and
the young wife was happy because she
spent most Of her hours in the garden,
either working among the flowers or
listening to the resonant voice of The
Second Man as he read to her from
some old and wonderful volume, of
which he had hundreds.
DCduIy was pO dUoOi Dcu III utT HcW

to look in the mirror and talk to her
self in tones of disgust. The divinity
within her had been touched by an
other divine spark, and famed by the
power Of love into a sculptor. And
this sculptor had remolded the
peaked little face of Beauty into the
countenance of woman 30 lovely
that those who laughed themselves al
most sick when Older Brother first
gave her the name Of Beauty looked
at her now with something of awe
mingled in with their wonder
But so busy was Beauty in loving
and being loved that she did not notice
them nor hear the things they said,
and when at last motherhood complet-
ed the work The Second Man had be-
gun, and he knelt beside her as she
sat in great arm chair with the little
new soul Graded In her arms, and
whispered Beauty" in a tone akin to
reverence, her laughter sounded like
the gurgle OF cooling brook, and her
eyes shone like two stars.

BEAUTY

When Older Brother first called her
Beauty the whole family laughed.
That was a rare compliment to Older
Brothers wit, for the family was one
seldom given to mirth. But when they
looked from the thin, pinched little
face, with its buttermilk expression,
down the angular young body to the
too long legs, and back again to the
'straggly hair the nickname created for
the girl by Older Brother was so in
congruous that even Mother, who had
never wanted any one Of her six chill
dren Qeast of all Beauty could not
help laughing outright. Naturally
Older Brother was much pleased with
himself and saw to it that the name
chung to the little girl all through the
days of her childhood.
The years that came and went made
Beauty no less a misnomer, for the
girls face grew smaller and more
pinched and more sour with every one
of them. The youngest and least well
come of all the unwelcome six at
home she was always pushed aside to
getting but the frazzled end Of every
family deal. In school things were no
better. Other children called her
Beauty and roared with laughter until
the girl designated by the name al
ways skunk unhappily away to some
far corner where no one would find
and taunt her.
SO Beauty grew up for all the world
like an unlovely, scraggly little weed
crowded in among harder plants which
never gave her room to thrive and be
healthy.
When The First Man met her, and
heard someone call her Beauty he fol-
lowed the earlier example Of her fam
lily. That is he aughed-almost in
Beauty's very face And whenever he
was alone and thought of the ungainly
young woman with her sour face, he
laughed again.
Then to keep up his reputation for
doing odd things The First Man paid
court to Beauty.
The girls family was thrown almost
into cachinnating fits, and The First
Mans friends said he must be crazy,
all of which made him the more deter
mined in his attentions.
One day when he was in a particu-
larly spiteful and contrary mood The
First Man asked Beauty to marry him,
and the girl, who was every whit as
resentful of the gibes and Jest of his
friends and hers said yes.
When they were married they led
cat and dog life, which was quite to
have been expected. The First Man
called his wife Beauty with sheer,
and she told him in turn that she had
married him for spite and hated him
cordially, all OF which was true enough
to be sure.
One day The First Man told her that
he was going away for long time.
He said her face had made him sick;
that he couldn't stand 1t any longer.
She spat back a sharp retort, and he
went.
After long while Beauty received
a letter from The First Man telling her
he never intended to come back. She
loked in the mirror at her buttermilk
face and told herself quite honestly
that she didn't blame him In the least,
and straightway got her divorce.
IL was different with The Second
Man. Beauty never knew how 1t hap
paned that he gravitated to her unless
