Dancer in Handkerchief.

DIR. F. Robbins, a well-knOwn ply,
stefan, urges the abolition OF the peck
ct handkerchief, because he firmly be
lieves it to be a source of infection
long after a person has recovered from
such diseases as infantile paralysis
and even common colds. 1.-The day

tomary cotton rag is replaced by the
cheap and clean japanese paper nap
kin which is burned after it has been
used. Infants and children are help

handkerchiefs over their perspiring
and grimy faces. The public roller
towel of the past was innocuous as

and twenty-in fact it had been the re-
faction from this which was the deter
mining factor in his life.
He had wronged one of his boon
companions. The mans wife, who had
a poor reputation, had become infatu-
ated with the young fellow, and they
had gone away together. They sep
arated week later. She had spoken
of Il divorce and asked him to marry
her; but somehow the judge found that
he was of finer caliber than he had
thought. They separated, and he
never saw the woman or her husband
again. Years later. however, he heard
that she had died.
! 1t troubled him, but after all a man
must live down his past and not brood
over it. The judge was an exemplary
husband and father. His little daugh-
ter ran to kiss him; he folded his wife
jim his arms.
what will they do with that poor
fellow, Symons?" asked his wife later
that evening.
If | had my way" answered the
judge. 'he would go TO the electric
chair. l don't think there is much
chance of that, however. Second-de-
gree murder, if l can swing it,"
''The papers think he will be ac-
quilted"
THAT depends on whether the jury
are honest men or sentimental FOOLS"
"Rut, my dear, he shot the man who
had run away with his wife. Surely
that is not a crime that deserves severe
punishment
Il do not think it does" answered
the judge. 'My function. however, is
not TO pass upon the abstract right or
wrong of case, but simply to admin
ister the law. What that law may be-
is laid down by the legislature. I aim
ITO keep my court an honest one, and to
fulfill the law scrupulously."
His wife said no more. She knew
her husbands feelings in the matter
and, while not sympathizing, recog
lnized his integrity.
On the next day there was another
painful scene in court. The wife OF
nhe prisoner stood up at the back OF
the courtroom and interrupted counsel

DO you believe in the unwritten
Jaw" asked counsel Of the juror
The judge raped his gaveI upon his
desk. "There is no unwritten law ex-
eept the common law" he announced
and the juror will take his law from
the court, not from his conscience. The
duty Of the juror is to bring in a YER
dict upon the facts. If man shoots
another it is murder or mansIaughter.' .
The counsel bowed, the juror sat
down in the box, accepted. Only the
prisoner eyed the judge and smiled
cynically. Hardened as he was to his
duty, the judge felt Disconnected by
the prisoners gaze.
The case was simple one. The
prisoner had shot the man who ran
away with his wife. He was willing to
take the woman back, and she had al
ready created a scene in the courtroom.
But the Judge was a stickler for law,
and everyone knew that, If he could
help 1t, the universal sentiment in ia
yor Of the man should not permit the
jury to bring in any lesser verdict than
murder in the second degree.
The judge went home that night, to
be greeted by his smiling wife and lit
tie girl. The judges home life was ex-
emplary. Nobody dreamed Of the
Judges past, least of all the woman
who shared his home.
Until the age of twenty-five the
judges life had been anything but ex-
emplary. He had run away from
home, loafed, drunk and generally been
"a good fellow" What a singular
Dhrasel However, there had been
good ct the bottom, and at twenty-five
somehow the judge changed. Perhaps
the change had been working in him
for years, subconSciOusly. At any rate,
he threw off the old life, settled down,
studied law, became a famous lawyer
and was nominated to the bench amid
universal approval.
1t must be confessed that the Judge
was not greatly troubled about his
past. He thought that it was the aver
age past Of young man. He had
never been in prison, be had never
stolen. The thing that sometimes
caused him bitter regret was an event
which had happened when he was four

SMALL FRUITS NEED
WINTER PROTECTION
Should Be Bent to Ground and
Covered With Earth-Pick
Warm Day for Working.

(By E. F. MKUNE, Colorado Agriculture
al College, Fort Collins, Colo)
In climate such as ours, there is
always more or less Winterkilling Of
raspberries, blackberries, Logan ber-
rIes, and blackcaps, so, in order to in
sure a crop for the following year, it
is almost always necessary to protect
the bushes in some way from the cold
and drying winds. Sometimes the prac-
tice of merely tying the bushes with
strong string and bending them over
is enough to protect Them but this
method often fails. The cheapest and
best way is to cover them with soil
to the depth of three to four inches.
This should be done as late as pos
sible, but before the ground is frozen.
Some time before the bushes are to
be covered, the old canes should be
cut, leaving a few more canes than
are needed for the next years crop.
The extra canes are to be used in
case any should be broken during the
covering process. All. the old canes
should be burned Immediately, to get
rid of the different diseases that they
may have on them.
The covering should take place on
a rather warm day, as the canes will
bend easier and are less apt to break.
With bushes that have strong and
brittle stems, it is often necessary to
remove q Spadeful of soil from the
side of the bush toward which the
canes are to be bent Use only enough
soil to cover the canes thoroughly.
Straw can be used in place of the dirt,
but it affords a good home for mice,
and they are apt to destroy the canes
by eating the bark.
The covering should be left on the
canes as late in the spring as possible
in order to protect them from the late
spring frosts, but do not leave it too
long, for it may injure the new growth.
Usually the covering is removed when
the buds begin to swell. When uncov-
ering, always level the ground off
well. If this is not done, after a few
years the bushes will be standing on
a ridge, making it hard to irrigate
them.
After removing the covering, cut
out all the broken canes and thin ont
the extra ones, leaving the desired
! number.

HIS IS GAY LIFE
Grocery Boy Has Charming Pros
pect. 1t Would Seem.
Lad Who Bounces in and Out of Other
Peoples Kitchens May Be Happy
Things to Divert In
curing Youth.

Life of every sort is pleasant af-
fair to those who are interested in the
people they meet, interested, perhaps,
to the point of curiosity; interested,
at least, to the point of forgetting their
own precious troubles. "A grocery boy,
who is just grocery boy ana nothing
but grocery boy, considers himself a
most unfortunate youth. He must get
up in the dark and feed and pretend
to groom an unwilling horse He must
ill kerosene cans or empty potato
barrels or grind coffee or run errandS
or deliver groceries to impatient GUS
toners the whole day long and far into
the dark of the evening. His feet get
numb and cold and he is forever carry
ing about good things to eat with his
own stomach complaining of neglect
1t is, you see, a difficult place that the
grocery boy has in life, a place that
may be looked upon as one of the most
unhappy and uninteresting variety.
Nevertheless, there is, for the gro
Gerry boy who is interested in the peo-
pie he meets, interested to the point
of Self-fOrgetfulness and a healthy Gu
riosity, a charming prospect, remarks
writer in the Indianapolis News. You
tanning it would be to go bouncing into
everybOdy'S kitchen at the most uneX-
pected times, to know whether or not
this woman had washed her last
nights dishes, and whether or not this
one had scrubbed her floor, ignoring,
scrubbed it your clumsy feet are track
ing it up again in the most awful way.
Think what treat it must be, no mat
ter how hungry and complaining a
stomach you have, to smell the vari-
ETY. of smells, to see all the pots a-bOil-
ing, to know what everybody in the
neighborhood is going to have for sup
per, to glimpse the table in the light
ed dining room all spread and
waiting for the head of the family to
come home.
A grocery boy that is in the mood
to enjoy these things is not troubled
by the fact that the other head of the
family is scolding him and the grocery
and things in general because he was
not there an hour or so ago. He is off
with q slam to the next house to see
what they are having for supper. He
knows where the good cooks live, and
where the cold boiled ham and pOta-
to chip eaters dwell. You may con-
slider 1t likely that grocery boys grow
weary of the sight of food, but food
on the grocery shelves or in grocery
wagons is never the same as found on
the stove or on it's way to the supper
table 1t may seem to you an unhappy
thing to be fed only by sights and
smells of other folks suppers, but it
is a very happy thing to go banging in
and out of everybody's back doors, be-
ing warmed by everybody'S cheerful
kitchens and by the realization that in
every house in town there is going to
be some sort of supper. And then, of
course. every grocery boy realizes that
there was never such a cook as his
mother and that after all the best sup
per of them all is waiting and warm
for him.

Playing Postum.

When caught, the possum'will feign
death, all the while looking out of the
corner of an eye, watching an oppor-
tunity to escape. And from this comes
the well-known expression, playing
possum." 1t should be said, however,
if one is lucky enough to get a Ken

there is no danger of its escaping.
1t has then arrived at period in its
career when possum play has ended.

BEGINNING to Appreciate Chestnut.

It is said that England is gradually
learning to appreciate the nutritious
value of the chestnut, where it is
chiefly used for Stuffing and in the
preparation of vegetarian dishes. In
a large quantity the chestnut does
not make cheap vegetable. but in
f1esh-forming ingredients they excel all
otter vegetables. The Italians use
the chestnut to give the flavor and
strength to Il variety of dishes.

are vigorous can be renovated, and
their usefulness prolonged number of
years. High-headed trees with their
bearing wood at the eXtremitieS of
long branches are not only difficult to
spray, but the work of picking the
fruit is troublesome and expensive.
Such trees may be headed back and
the fruiting wood brought within con-
venient reach. Trees like peaches may
be cut back to few short arms near
the trunk, and the tree allowed to
form an entirely new head. With ap-
pies and pears severe heading is not to
be recommended. With old trees,
where the head is so high that in order
to materially reduce the workable
height the branches would have to be
nearly all cut away, it is questionable
whether the renovation is profitable.
Old trees which are vigorous and
which are of varieties that are not
desirable may be headed back and the
tops grated into desirable varieties
This tOp-working is done by budding
in the case of peaches and by cleft
grating in the case of other kinds of
fruit trees. The new top is formed as
low down as is consistent with the
vigor of the tree and the size of the
branches.

Renovation.

In all renovation or regeneration of
fruit trees there is more to be con-
sidered than just pruning and top
working. Old orchards have usually
been neglected in regard to cultivation,
spraying, and fertiliZing, as well IS
pruning. After the trees have been
deheaded and all rubbish in the Or
chard cleared up and burned, a good
spraying with lime-sulphur should be
given. This spray will kill any scale
insects that may be in the orchard and
will help to clean up the trees. When
ever the season permits, the land can
be broken and clean culture given. If
the orchard has been in sod for num-
Der of years, and especially with some
leguminous crop, the soil will prob
ably contain a good deal Of vegetable
matter; but if not, then this material
may be supplied by giving the land a
good dressing of stable manure. An
application Of 300 pounds of acid phos-
plate and $50 pounds of muriate or
sulphate of potash per acre, scattered
around under the outer eXtremities
of the limbs and between the rows and
narrowed in, will be very beneficial to
the production of good crops of fruit.
