His Capacity.
I'nt FInnegan had left his wife In
Ireland nnd gone to America to try
his fortune nnd establish a home for

Borne two or three weeks after Pat's
departure that bis wife stood In the
meager gnrden in front of her home,
looking down the road her man had
gone, and moodll.v speculating on his
success. She wns rudely startled by
the harsh voice of Mrs. O'Leary call
ing her over the fence.
"Have you heard the news from
America, Mrs. FInnegan?"
"Faith, an' Ol have not."
"'Tis In the paper this maruln'.
Iteaa it fer ycrsilf. 'America gone
dry. Last alcoholic drink sold at mid
night, Juno 20.' "
Mrs. FInnegan looked doubtful for
a minute; then, swelling with pride
and casting a triumphant glance at
Mrs. O'Leary, she shouted back:
"Faith, an' Pat nlways said, give him
two weeks an' there was not a country
in tho wourld he couldn't drink dry."

Unfortunate Arras.
Arras, on the Itlvur Scarpe, was the
capital of the Gallic tribe of Atrebates
In the time o Cnesar. Later the capi
tal of Artols, Arras Is now tho chief
city of the department of Pas-de-Cnlals.
Since the fourth century Arras
has been famed for Its woolen cloth,
and particularly for fine tapestry hang
ings. Arrns was invaded In 1014, when her
grand palace and petit palace were de
stroyed by bombs. The grent cathedral
was. absolutely shattered, as well as
the railway station. Not one house
was left Intact. Just one of the former
Inhabitants, nn old woman, was left
there. Although It teemed with mili
tary life, beautiful Arras became a
corpse a dead city.

TREATMENT FOR CANE FRUITS
As Soon as Fruiting Season Is Over
Old Canes Should Be Pruned
Out and Durned.
Cnno fruits, Including rnspberrios,
blackberries nnd dewberries, growing
under normnl conditions, produce
strong, vigorous shoots from tho
crowns enrly in tho spring, says V. It.
Gardner of the University of Missouri
college of agriculture. These become
the fruiting ennes the following year.
When they get to be about two and
one-half to throe feet high they should
have their terminals pinched back an
Inch or two to stlmulnte the formation
of lateral or branch shoots. This
makes a more compact bush thnt Is
less subject to winter injury, nncV
thnt, under ordinary ctrcumstances, Is
more productive. The cane fruit plan
tation should be gone over several
times, .pinching back ench time the
shoots that have reached u height of
two and nnc-hnff or three feet since
they were gone over before. The lat
erals yshould then be nllowed to grow
as long as they will, no heading bnck
being afforded them until the begin
ning of tho following season, when
they may be shortened to a length of
12 to 18 inches.
If for nny renson the new shoots of
the cane fruits have been allowed to
become four to six feet tall without
pinching, they should not be headed
buck during the summer. Such late
heading would be liable to force the
production of laterals that would not
mature well before winter, and thnt
consequently would be more subject
to winter Injury.
As soon ns the fruiting season is
over the old canes that have borne
fruit should he pruned out, carried off
tho patch or field nnd burned. Many
growers neglect to remove these old
enncs until the following spring; but it
Is importnnt that they he removed
promptly. If left during the summer
nnd fnll months, they harbor Insects
and dlscnses that spread to the new
growth, decrease the next year's crop
nnd shorten the life of the plantation.
As n matter of fact, the best and most
effective way to deal with the Insect
nnd disease problem in tho cane fruit
plantation Is to cut out nnd burn tho
old canes Immediately after each fruit
ing senson. They hnve to be removed

anyway nnd, It Is no more expensive
or troublesome to remove them then
than later. When this plan Is followed
spraying seldom need be resorted to
foi the cane fruits.
Commercial plnntlngs of the cane
fruits should receive thorough culti
vation throughout the growing season.
In the case of small home plantings,
heavy mulching with straw, leaves,
corn stalks, lawn clippings, etc., may
take the place of cultivation. This
helps keep down weeds, conserves the
moisture, keeps the soli cool during the
hot summer months and otherwise pro
motes tho health and growth of the
plants.
CHEAP FORM OF INSURANCE
Appropriate Music.
"Cnn't you play something else than
that everlasting 'March' from 'Lohen
grin' nt my wedding?" asked tho sev
eral times grass widow, who was ar
ranging for another of her mntrl

"Certainly, mndam," responded tho
courteous orgnnlst,, And ns the bridal

A Compliment.
Simon Wolf, the Jewish leader, Is
eighty-two years old, and he Is a
great friend of Chauncey Depew, who
has just turned eighty-five. On the
dny that Depew was eighty-live Wolf
sent him n telegram saying. "You are
thteo years my senior in years and
fifty years my senior In Intellect."
Which Is a rather neat compliment.
Value of Orchard Is Greatly Increased
by Spraying Cost Is Compara
tively Small.
Although spraying Is one of tho
most expensive of orchard operations,
the value of the crop Is so greatly In
creased thereby, that It Is n compara
tively small Investment, tho expense
amounting to merely a fraction of re
turns directly due thereto. Orchard
spraying Is very chcup form of Insurance.
