A GOOD SIORY
 PASSED ALONG

arV 8, and as we also think 1t is a good story, We will give it to you for what it is worth:
 The congress of bishops met in St Louis, Mo-, some weeks since, and Bishop Rowe was there. To 9 re porter of the Post-Dispatch he told one of the best stories of the north we ever saw in print, and we give it. No matter what you. think about it, you will have to confess hat it is a good story:
 '@The hardest man in the house c' bishops of the Episcopal conven- tion in session here is the Rt. Rev. Peter T. Rowe, bishop of Alaska He is 59 years old, and for 2l years has prayed the elements of Arctic winters covering the 6OO,OOO square miles of his diocese, the whole of Alaska, once every three years on snow shows and by canoe, ministering to whites, Indians and Eskimos. He is known from Sitka to the shores of the Arctic ocean as the ministering brother of the lonely prosOector.
 "Tc be bishop of Alaska, Bishop R.. we says, one must have cast iron digestive organs. The bishop of Al aska frequently finds it is necessary to sit down In a blizzard to nor sel of raw whale for luncheon, or, if hard pressed, raw dog, in orde! to sustain life. He must make forced marches over icy wastes win the mercury 50 to so degrees below zero.
 "Bishop Rowe related to 9 Post Dispatch reporter that a year age last winter he stumbled upon mem bers of Stefansson's Arctic eXpedi' ten, near Point Barrow, Alaska groping their way back to civiliza' tion The men had been separated from the main expedition and were in a Ditiable plight.
 .Bishop Rowe is stocky and pow erfuuy built and has sCant iron gra hair and steel-blue eyes. Tears cam to his eyes as he spoke of his frs l wife. who. he said, died of lonli lness and anxiety for him. He ha' married again, but his present wife resides in Seattle.
 "BishoR Rowe was a clergyman at Saulte Ste Marie, Mich, wheI he was consecrated bishpo of Alas 1 ka, ia 1875. He reached Alaski two years before the rush of pros lpectors to the Klondike and was on Of the first Americans to go ove1 l CNilcoot Pass, where a snowslid' kille: 7S men. He was one of thu rescuing party that helped dig th' bodies out of the snow. Ill all hi' years in Alaska be never got th' geld fever
 "The results of that memorabl' craze made other work for me- ht said, and l never had time to ge the fever. l was at Skagway at thu time.
 There was an epidemic of men inaitis, and many who did not dit of that disease succumbed to shoot ing afrays. During a period of two months I conducted almost daily tn funeral of some murdered prospect or or gambler
 "A+ that time a gambler called 'Soapy' Smith headed a gang tha infested the Klondike and mulctet prospectors. The activities of tht band grew to such a menace thai tBishop Rowe and others organized a vigilance committee, which wa! sent after the gang. Smith was killed and others were driven out Of the country"

WONDER OF SCIENCE
Biology has Proved that DandruR Is
 Caused by a Germ.

Science Is donig wonders these days in medicine as well as in mechanics. Since Ndam lived, the human race has been roubled with dandrufr. for which no hair preparation has heretofore proved a sue :essful cure until New-bro's HerpIcide was put on the market. It Is a scientific prep lration that kills the germ that makes !andrufr or scurf by digging into the scalp to set at the root of the hair, where | saps the vitality; causing itching scalp, falling hair. and finally badness. With out danGrufr hair must grow fururiantly. It Is the only destroyer of dandrufr. Sold by leading druggists. Send loc. in stamps for sample to The HerpI- eide Co.,. Detroit. Mich.

Plumbers.

Whenever you invite the plumbers
into spend the week and fix the kitch-
en- faucet you should plan ahead. Have
everything in readiness.
Plumbers are often a little hurt to
see that there have been no prepara-
tions. Plumbers take these things very
keenly.
If pipe is leaking and you are go
ing to have the plumbers come, move
everything out of the kitchen so they
will have room for their tools. With
good weather and no mishaps they
may get all of their tools around the
first day.
Getting all the tools around Is a
good days work for two plumbers and
boy. On the second day they exam
Inc the leak and make notes then get
busy planning the weeks work on it..
If the leak is plan hole then the
thing is simple and they finish it up
in smart shape within the week.
1t is best to send the children to the
country when the plumbers come. Put
lid over the goldfish bowl. If you
haven't q spare room or a stable you
might arrange to have them board
with the neighbors.-IllinOis State

ceSses," and proceeds to lament the
loss of discipline upon the Sarucen
army.
Abderrahmun was keenly alive to
the danger in the disorder which re-
suited In the possession Of so much
spoil by each soldier, yet he dared not
venture the displeasure of bis men
by ordering them TO abandon every
thing except their arms and warhOrses.
Fearful though he was, he yet trusted
to the military skill Of his tested fight
ers and to the good luck which had at
tended him since the start of his expe-
ditiOn.
Determined to have the advantage
of being the aSsailant instead Of the
defender he attacked Charles furious
ly as soon as he discovered the Frank
ish army In position. His Berber horse
charged again and again, the front
line Frank battalions resisting stub
bOrnly and dying in their tracks. Night
fall found the two armies still writh
ing in deadly grip; but the rest
| brought by darkness was only brief. Al
dawn the Saracens attacked again
some squadrons of the Berbers hewing
their way into the very heart of the
Christian host. Then it was that greed
| played its part in the undoing of what
had every promise of becoming another
MOslem triumph. Someone raised the
cry that a detachment Of the enemy
was plundering the camp wherein was
stored the rich booty taken from luck
less Tours and other victims of the Mo
hammedan march.
Instantly large part of the Berber
horse whirled off to the rescue OF
it's goods. The infantry thought
them flying in defeat. Tumult reignet
and Abderrahman, striving to rally
his forces, was cut off by we'll
timed charge launched by Charles. II
is related that the number Of spears
run through his body as he fell was mo-
less than a score.
With the death of the emir the In
vaders became completely demOralized
They rushed off the field hotly pursued
by the victorious Franks, who butch
cred them by thousands as they fled
The Turkish host was utterly dissl
pated.
Charles Martel, his son and hi
grandson, were left at leisure to con
solidate and extend their power. Eu

Before and After.

Before Mrs. T. Bone Rayer became
Mrs. Rayer she took extreme care
about what became of It's letters. If
she didn't destroy them entirely she
hid them away in some unassallable
nook, and so far as is known no out
slider ever got glimpse of her sweet
heart correspondence. This has
wrought a change, however. On his
return from his last trip Mr.. Rayer
found one of his letters on the front
porch, bearing the tOothmarks of the
puppy owned by the little girl who
lives next door. On entering the house
he found another letter from him, the
envelope to which was missing. But
on the back of it was lot of figures
in strange feminine hand, indicating
that tive" had won handsomely at
bridge that afternoon and you had

shape of framework but cut back with
Il medium degree of severity.
Sour cherries are pruned least of all
our fruit trees at the Missouri agri-
cultural experiment station. They
should have the open center and
spreading main limbs The main limbs
should not generally be cut back as
their terminal buds make the strong
est growth. If limb is in the way,
it should be removed entirely instead
Of being cut back.
From time to time during the sum-
mer, go over young trees to guide their
growth. If too many limbs are start
ing from a given point, they may be
thinned to the required number. If a
rank limb tends to fill the center or
cross other limbs, it may be removed
If the strongest limbs all grow in the
same direction, thus giving One-sided
tree, they may be pinched back, thus
encouraging other limbs to start on
the opposite side to balance the frame
work of the tree. In the case of up
right growing varieties, particularly
| the main limbs often tend to grow
straight upward instead of spreading
In such cases the tips of these upright
! limbs may be pinched back. This will
induce side limbs to grow outward
thus securing a spreading form.

PRUNE YOUNG TREES
IN SUMMER SEASON
Work Should Be Done From Time
to Time to Correct and Guide

Train up fruit tree in the way 1t
should 60 and when it is old it will not
depart from it. 1t is easy and cheap
to shape young fruit tree so it will
always have good form; it is difficult
and expensive to shape an old fruit
tree that has been neglected.
The main framework of the fruit
tree should be shaped in early spring.
Additional pruning should follow from
time to time during the summer to
further correct and guide the new
growth.
The center of the young tree should
be pruned out, leaving from three to
five main limbs to form the framework
of the tree. This gives a tree with an
open center, to admit sunlight, and
with broad spreading limbs. A broad
low tree is easy to handle and fruits
| better. Much of the fruit can De
picked without ladders. A low tree
is easier to prune, spray and care for,

plant, if they are to be selected from
the plant bed of a neighbOr, as is COM
monty the case.
Only plants of the previous seasons
growth should be used, and these may
be distinguished by the fresh, white
color of the roots.
Old plants which have fruited have
dark-cOlored roots, the crown being
raised somewhat above the surface.
There are perfect and imperfect
Towering varieties, and where the i'm
perfect kinds are used one must also
have perfect-flOwered ones to plant
alongside in order that all may be
properly fertilized in blooming time.
These imperfect kinds can be de-
termined only at blooming time, by
the absence of the border Of yellow,
pollen-bearing stamens surrounding
the pistil, but the nurseryman knows
the perfect varieties.
Some of the best varieties have inn
perfect boomers, and, when planted in
connection with the perfect, blooming,
produce bountiful crops. Every fourth

blossoms.
Preparing for Setting.
In preparing the plants for setting,
clip off an inch of the roots and re-
move some of the leaves If there are
more than four leaves to the plant, and
when setting make a hole in the soil
deep and large enough to allow the
roots to be spread out fan-shape.
The plant should be set so the crown
comes even with the surface, neither
low enough to allow of its being COW
cred with the soil, nor so high that 1t
will dry out.
Whether one wishes to adopt the
matted-row, hedge-row or hill, system,
depends upon the acreage, as well as
the climatic and soil conditions. The
hedge-row which allows the plants to
form a mat about Is inches wide Is
probably good system-as good as
could be adopted for all conditions.
In this case set the plants in rows
12 to 10 inches apart, with the rows
four feet apart, which will allow the
plants to be cultivated. After the run
ners start they should be laid length
wise in the rows, where they will take
root and form matted row.
Cultivation should continue, to keep
the row from mating in the middle
and if plants take root there, they
should be cut off, reducing the row
to the proper width.
Advantages of Hill Setting.
The hill system has many advan
tages, and it is said that better anc
larger berries may be produced this
way. Possibly three feet apart eacf
way is the proper distance to set the
plants, allowing only a few Of the

A grayelly soil, having red-clay sub
soil, is probably the best for strawber-
ries, and as to location, If one desires
early fruit, a south slope would be
the best, while for late ones, a north
one should be selected.
No place could be selected that
would be better than newly cleared
timber land which has been properly
broken, but If the land is old II may
he made sufficiently rich by the appli-
cation of stable manure during the
winter or early spring months.
1t would be best to have the ground
plowed in the fall, so that the plants
may be set as early as possible in
the spring. If one cares to wait an
other year, 1t would be better to plant
the ground to potatoes or some other
hoed crop which will keep the ground
clear of weeds.
Apply plenty of manure-2O loads
per acre-for after the plants have
made a seasons growth it is not advis-
able to supply stable manure on ac-
count of the weed and grass seed in it.
Early in April is the best time to
set plants, and before this time the
ground should be well prepared by
blowing, narrowing and rolling, if nee
essary to pack it.
If cavities are left in the soil and
plant should be set over one of these

should be plenty of rain during the

runners to root, and keeping the hill
trimmed so as to form a single plant
or cluster a foot in diameter.
No matter what system we follow,
the proper cultivation and preparation
and setting are by no means the end
Of the work. The plants must be thor
oughly cultivated the first year, and
all grass and weeds pulled out.
1t is also just as important to re-
move the surplus plants or runners.
I have had as good results from
plants set in June and July as from
those set earlier, and when plants
were scarce and desired to increase
the plot, 1 have taken the runners
which have rooted and which it was
desirable to remove from the earlier
settings and set them in rows in July
and August.
Plants set even as late as September
will sometimes bear good crops the
following spring if they are taken out
of the old beds with dirt adhering and
set at once, without moving a great
distance. Missing places may be filled
out in this way, too.
