J. w. Francis, who likes to dabble , in things horticultural, says that 2
 fine quality of dried apples can be obtained by planting the apple trees
 where no moisture can get at them. : in perfectly dry, grayelly soil mixed f with an equal portion of kiln-dried , sawdust, to be reinforced by heavy , dressing of plotting paper whenever ! the apples show sign of swelling Or 7 rust. It was of apples grown in this
 manner that cur old-fashioned pies
 were made in those good old days 1, when everyone was too well-bred, too polite and too thoughtful to ask for
 the second piece.
 Once in while in the desert sand
 We find a spot of the fairest green; Once in while from where we stand The hills Of paradise are seen; V , And perfect joy in our hearts we Fl hold
 Fl A joy that the world can not defle.
 We trade earth's dross for the purest gold
 Once in a while.
 4 3 f d w. D. .Draine and L. w. Cress went J Nout to Rogers Lake the other day , to shoot doves, and, incidentally to [ try Lew's new shotgun. Everybody r was having good time until Wid Raudebaugh, deputy game warden, l hove into view, and without any pre-
 liminaries e&cept sly wink at W. D., s which L. w. didn't see, accused the : latter of shooting ducks out of sea : son. A hitherto perfect day began to I end right there. L. w. knew he had s not shot any ducks, and he said so !, with plenty of emphasis in-exactly the t right places. He told Wid where he l could go to and where he could alight t when he got there, and was just going ? at his fluentest, when old W. D. gave n the joke away by lying down or the 2 ground and kicking his heels in the !, air; whereupon serenity resumed it's B heneficient reign. Some men try advertising as the ln- dian tried feathers. He took one feather and slept on it all night; in the moining'he remarked; "White man say feathers heap soft; ; white man heap big dam fool" Are you an aborigine? "Dad''> Powers was standing near the post office the other day when a |. horse became badly frightened by a passing automobile.
 ~~"Queers how horses are scared by
 those things" observed bystander.
 "Queer, nothingw "Dadp retorted. , "What would you do if you should
 see my pants cornin' down the street
 with nothin' in them? 2"
 Any man, in any walk of life, who , puts jealousy, hate and fear behind him can make himself distinguished. | A dog bit a man. Man met dog's owner next day and said to him: Flows your dog ?' q did" the owner replied. Fl B. L. Hilburn, the Royal Duke oil man. says the discovery of oil in such widespread areas in Texas created overnight a great many millionaires, many of them men who before that had a pretty hard time making a living. The sudden change in fortune
 brought about many funny situations One chap, just discharged from the
 navy, was informed that he had re- s gently become millionaire, and then
 some.
 E ".Gosh!" he exclaimed. Them he
 went to the nearest telegraph office
 and wired home for $50. "I'm going
 to New York and paint the old town,
 red" he said.
 Don't you wish now you had saved
 your money so you could sit around
 and watch the other fellows work 7"
 asked Frank Livermore, the one;time
 Flagstaff cow man, who is staying at
 the Weatherford for few months,
 taking it easy, of John Hamilton.
 "Oh, don't know,' John replied,
 eff I had wouldn't have had so much
 fun or seen SO much of that thing we
 call 1ife.'p
 Some philosophy in that, too, isn't
 there?
 Some young ladies saw the flag be-
 ing raised at Babbitt's the other day.,
 and asked Henry Aphold, deputy
 county assessor, what it was being
 raised for.
 "Why. that's because Carranza has
 been killed" he informed them.
 John Metz, one of the facial artists
 at. Falder's has way all figured out
 to partly beat old H. c. L. He be- 4 lieves that in these days every fam

 "There are many ways of accom- plishing this," he says. Every home, f6r instance. should have a rubber
