Bret Harte was one day walking
along a street in New York with a
companion when he stopped to look
in the window of a booksellers shop.
1t was crowded with books, and Bret
Harte was always interested in such
things. His companion wasn't
He was a rough kind of man who
had emerged in New York on "a bit
of a holiday" from wild places where
he occupied himself no one particu-
larly knew how. 1t did not> seem,
however, that, whatever his occupa-
ton, it conduced to special expendi-
ture Of energy. There was a general
air OF taking things easy" about him.
He was not inclined to waste effort
on unnecessarily washing himself or
shaving, and his legs seemed reg.
ulated to taking him about at speed
that never exceeded mile or so an
hour.
Bret Harte had forgotten him,
when he was recalled to the fact Of
his existence by furious chuckle and
an exclamation Of amusement. He
had sighted book >the title of which
amused him nightly. He nudged
Bret Harte and pointed dirty finger
in at the window.
"See thati" he asked Harte. "See
that"
Harte followed the finger, but could
see nothing particular.
"It's plain as blind OK might see
it." declared his companion, though
you might misdoubt your blessed
eyes. Couldn't believe it myself for a
moment"
1t turned outthat the book that had
so excited him was labelled: Work
Exhaustion: How TO Avoid It." What
person could possibly be so mad as
to write book advising people how
to avoid work exhaustion? Was any.
thing easier!
Bret Harte declared that. when he
informed him that people did some
times suffer from overwork, that he
had himself once broken down from
| it, he seemed to regard him with
wonder and most irritating tender
sympathy-much as il Harte had con,
fessed to having once had a touch 'oi

Out in Woodruff place a number OF
small boys have banded together and
done what most boys have done IL
they were real-for-sure boys-built a
cave, says the indianapolis News APP
preaching this cave is long under
ground tunnel about two feet square.
What there is in this tunnel in the

fathers and mothers never will know,
but at the inside end of the tunnel is
the den, about five feet square, built
in side hill and as dark as the most
cavernous depths of Wyandotte

One of the youngsters belonging to
the band of cave jewellers hurried
home from school the other afternoon,
donned his cave outfit, and made for
the tunnel. Crawling in fiat on the
ground, he made his way toward the
den. Arriving there, he heard scram-
bling noise just ahead and two fiery
spots doomed up in the darkness. His
teeth chartered with fright. He
couldn't back away, he was too fright
ened to go forward, and there was
no chance of escape at either side.
The fiery spots became active and the
boy became panicky.

words: THE Cave" in white paint, on
a blazing yellow back ground. Gazing
proudly at the sign he explained:

Fire-blight is undoubtedly the most
serious disease that confronts the
fruit grower today. San Jose scale is

carries an annual loss of $4,000, 600

Blight is a preventable disease, and
in view of the tremendous losses occa.

be made to check it.
Blight is caused by minute germ

blight could be held in control.

Savinu the Trees.

The cementing of holes in trees is
now quite common. On old estates,
where trees have been showing holes
in their trunks for years, they are
now being cemented, both to add to
the stability of the trunks and to
arrest further decay. Huge trees with
holes in their trunks large enough for
a man to stand upright in are now
filed with cement, the cement being
painted the color OF the bark.
