Ready Made Clothes Statesmen,

Any man could always look neat
and tidy If he had n readymade
clothes salesman to go around with
him and pat and pull at his coat. This
always makes a coat fit perfectly.
When you get a readymade suit
home you are surprised to see the
funny Jumps and wrinkles in it, The
amusing thing Is that it didn't look
that way at the store. You point this
out to your wife and after you have
both chuckied over 1t a while you de-
eide to take the coat back and kid the
salesman about it. 1t is probably a
mean thing to do but any man with a
little fun in him can't resist ioshing
the salesman in case like this
The salesman will certainly be
fussed to see the mistake he has made,
When you get the coat on in the
store again the salesman turns out to
be a pretty good fellow and takes the
joke in the right spirit. He admits
you've certainly put one over on him
If you can prove the coat doesn't fit
a glass.
What's wrong with that fit there"
he says Then quick as a wink he
makes a pass or two at the collar In
back and yanks the lapels Il bit and
after IA few snappy jerks at the bot
tom in front he pins your arms To
your sides and turns You around to
see how swell 1t fits in the back.
That's funny! The coat fits perfectly.
When YOU get the coat hame and
put it on once more it begins to act
up again. Maybe the salesman knows
more about how a coat should be
worn. But it would be fine if he al
ways could he handy to pat and pull at
your coat so that you could always be
looking neat

Denver.-Three men were instantly
killed and two injured when a giant
Mikado engine of the Santa Fe rail-
road, hauling a freight train south,
blew up at the Orsa block house, TWEEN
ty-seven miles south of Denver, Tues
day morning, throwing wreckage over
q radius of 700 feet and causing big
property damage. Lack of water in
the boiler caused the terrific explo-
sion, railroad men agree.
Coming without warning, the explo-
sion threw the t~hirty-ton boiler $50
feet ahead, dropping 1t into a ditch, q
demolished heap of metal fit only for
scrap iron. The engineer and brake
man were hurled back $50 feet, the

Disease and Insects.
(By I. N.

By L. N. BENNINGToN)
Plant apple trees five or six inches
deeper than other fruit trees.
It IL a mistake to assume that a big
tree will always come into bearing
sooner than a small one
II too big the storms may cause
them to be seriously injured before the
roots have become thoroughly fixed.
A tree which Is infested with insects
will not thrive any better than a pig
covered with lice.
The farmer who starts al orchard
and has not studied the effects Of
spraying might as well save his tie
and expense. He will fail without
spraying.
The Ben Davis makes a brave show

It cause prejudice among the ignorant
against all applesf
An old broom from which most of
the brush has been worn of will re-
move loose bark from the trunks of
trees, and at the same time destroy
many hiding places of insects.
A tree which Is properly sprayed and
cared for, however, seldom has any
rough bark to remove.
Do not let the pears remain on the
trees until thoroughly ripe, or they will
become soft and mealy.
