Autumn Days.

An editorial writer on the New York Globe
who evidently had spent his boyhood days in the
country or in a small town, grew reminiscent the
other day, and typed an editorial that is worth
while thinking about. He said:
A mellow haze is on the hills. The air is
sweet and cool and invigorating Blackbirds
piping up from the fields at dawn begin their
journey southwark. Wagons creak along the
roads laden with their orchard treasures. Farm
house and barn are at peace under the bright
sunshine that gilds but no longer warns. 1t is
that sentinel period dreaming between the out
posts of retreating life, which is summer, and
advancing sleep, which is winter. Autumn days !!
On the air is wonderful fragrance COM
pounded of all the joys of this fruition period Of
the year. In it are thousand scents sweeter
than any perfume Of Araby, purer than any in
cense, except the smoke of wood fires spiraling
above the hills, spicy, aromatic scent. 1t comes
from a little red outbuiding whence sounds a
crunching and steady pounding 1t comes from
the cider press.
Apples-they belong to autumn days; of all
things autumnal they are the essence. Baldwin,
brave name; Winesap the mouth waters at the
sound; Grimes Golden, sturdy words; Pippln,
York Imperial and Ben Davis, Jonathan Green
ing and Rome Beauty-cognomens all that have
a wholesome ring, apples that crush fruitly upon
the tongue.
It is autumn in the country. Autumn. But
this is the CITY, Oh, well, there is no ban on
dreams.

Dishonest Dealers.

We have heard of dishonest dealers feeding
chickens gravel to increase their weight, but
feeding chickens pepper and keeping them
thirsty until they drink pound of water is a
new one on us. Joseph Hartigan, commissioner
of weights and measures Of New York city found
that tricky dealers in that city were using this
means of defrauding the public. The scheme of
increasing chickens weight is substitute, he
said, for the old device of feeding them gravel
used by dishonest dealers and abandoned after
an exposure.
Practices Of this kind bring the honest
traders into disrepute. Scores of honest mer-
chants in the city of Richmond find that they
must give considerable of their valuable time to
dissuading patrons that they are not trying to
cheat them. Because few men resort to sharp
practices all their associates in business are
forced to suffer with them. Honest merchants
deplore dishonest methods in merchandising, for
they know that evil is always found out and that
it pays to be good.

was busy doing her housework, and
just as he slipped back into the door
of his house Kitty came along. But
she missed Billy Mouse by just the

asked Kitty, trying to make friends
with Billy Mouse.
Eyes, l live here" answered Billy
Mouse; isn't It a nice place to liver"
yes, 1t Is a very nice place, but not
nice enough for such a nice fellow as
you are; you should come with me
where there is much to see and q
much nicer place to live.
And you better tell your mother
about it. am sure she would like to
live there. Why, there is a cheese as
big as your house and other things,
too.
Come out here and let me tell you
about It," and then you can go and
tell your mother what a nice place
you know about" said Kitty.
Wait minute and l will come
out" said Silly Billy Mouse; and of
he ran to find his mother.
"Oh. mother, mother, he said, do
hurry. Kitty is out here and she
knows the incest place for us to live;
she was so kind we should not be rude
to her. for she invited you as well
as me, to come along.

And then something came after him,
and Billy Mouse ran down again, and
this time he ran right into big pipe
on the ground.
But, alas! for Miss Kitty! She ran
in one end, but she could not run out
of the other, for 1t was smaller at one
end than the other, so Billy Mouse
ran out, and back he flew to his home,
all out of breath, and frightened all
but to death.
He fell right over on the floor and
his mother had to pour water on him
to bring him to his senses again.
"Oh. oh, oh, OH" cried Billy Mouse,
thinking Miss Kitty had him sure

Then Billy Mouse had to tell her all
about how he ran out to find Miss
Kitty and how she chased him and
nearly caught him, too.

knew more than he did. and he at
once began to study the book and
learn all about the tricks of bad kitty
