Bitter Rot in Storace

Do not store apples from an or chard in which there is much bittef rot, even if the apples themselves seem perfectly clean This applies especially to Jonathan and Crimes va r'eties. It often happens that very small bitter rot spots are overlooked in culling and apples stored with these spots on them go down very quickly upon removal from storage J.

TAD SIGNED THE PLEDGE.

The artist was painting-sunset, red, with blue streaks and green dots. The old rustic, at a respectful dis tance. was watching.
 "Ah," said the artist looking up suddenly, perhaps to you, too. na- ture has opened her sky-pictures page by page? Have you seen the lambent flame of dawn leaping across the livid east; the red-stained, sulfurous islets floating in the lake of fire in the west; the ragged clouds at midnight, black as a ravens wing, plotting out the shuddering moon?"
 No replied the rustic, shortly; mot since ] signed the pledge"

A NATIONS RIGHT.

Professor Guglielmo, the noted Ital- ian historian, predicts a worldwide temperance movement as an outcome of the great world war" He says that hereafter no nation can afford to consider the prosperity of distillers and brewers above the welfare of the people. Has not the state" he in Quires. the right and the duty to ask each citizen to sacrifice his goods and his life to save his nation from for eign aggression against it's glory, pow CT, liberty or riches? And has 1t not the right to demand the renunciation of a few minutes of unhealthy, torpid joy to regenerate the citizens health and save himself and future gener- ations all the misfortunes of which drunkenness is the mother"

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

One of the prosaloon arguments in high license states is that the liquor traffic helps maintain the public schools. A Nebraskan newspaper fit tingly replies thus: Yes, that Is true. but it does more than that. It main tains a school system of it's own. While the little boys are being gath cred into the public schools where they are trained to read, to write and to think, the young men are being gathered into the private schools of the liquor traffic, the saloons, where they are trained to swear, to tell lewd stories and to drink.
 The public school takes the boy builds up his intellect and trends him towards high character and good habits. The private school of the liquor traffic, the saloon, takes that boy when he is a little older, de- bauches his intellect and trends him toward low character and bad habits. .

The movement started in Pulaski and Jefferson counties for the selection of representative business men, and lawyers, for election to the lower House of the Legislature, has been spreading to other counties.
 The theory is that the man who is busiest about his own affairs is best qualified to serve the people as a law maker for sixty days, even at little sacrifice. To elevate the standard of our lawmakers is the purpose of the movement.
 By this method three prominent cit izen of Little Rock were "called to the colors," and in Pine Bluff four were called by petition. But in both coun- ties other candidates are appearing to swell the list of aspirants, and those who have been called will not have the unanimous endorsement of the voters, by any means. The business inter- ests who are backing these movements say their only purpose is to get good men in the Legislature.

 Gen. Bill, discussing the European war with the Board of Strategy, said: "I don't understand how the Alleys can lombard Dardanelle with out hit ting Russellville.

I am in favor of referring the whole thing to the Peace Hague, in fact, 1 hope to see the day when very country will have Peace Hague of its own."

PROVED HIS THEORY.
Tragic Climax In a Murder Trial, but
It Saved the Accused.

1t Saved the Accused.
The acme OF realism was reached,
though by accident, In criminal trial
that took place number OF years ago
at Lebanon, U.
Two men had personal encounter.
One of them after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket
turned to fee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small of the back. One
chamber of his pistol was found to
have been fired. His assailant was
tried for murder.
The defense contended that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol, which had become entangled
in the lining Of the pocket, and that the
prisoners shot had not taken effect.
The prosecution contended that such
wound could not have been self In
ficted
The defendants counsel, Clement L.
vallandlgham, undertook to demon
strate to the jury just how the dead
mans pistol had hung in the pocket
and just how possible it was to infict
such a wound. Suddenly there was
loud report. and the lawyer sank to
the floor. The ball had entered the
back almost in the identical spot where
the dead man had been shot.
The defendant was acquitted Mt

CURIOUS BATTLEFIELDS.

One Conflict That Ragged to a Large
Extent Indoors.
At the battle of Monterey, In the
Mexican war, our troops were able to
command the streets Of the city with
their artillery, but they experienced
much difficulty In driving the Mexi.
cans from their houses. Accordingly,
as the city was built of stone or adobe.
the Americans broke through the walls
from one house to another, fighting
and driving out the enemy as they pro-
ceeded. Thus, It appears, the battle Of
Monterey was largely fought indoors.
In the time of William the Silent,
when the Netherlands we're fighting the
Spaniards, number of Spanish YES
sells became frozen In on the Zuider
Zee. Out came the Dutch on horse
back on the ice to attack the Span
iards. This is probably the only battle
of record wherein cavalry was employ.
ed directly against a naval force
There have been battles fought un-
der ground. Chiefest of these was the
ueTCe eucouulei eitdhiilS " ene oAc6o
of HARLEM In the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined and the Dutch coun'
termined with equal industry, and be-
low the ground terrific conflict en-
sued.
When. after the commune, the Yer.
sailles troops took Paris they chased
certain of the communist forces to the
great sewers Of the capital, and in
these more than one sanguinary battle
occurred. Exchange.
