MONEY IN GRAPES.
The writer has recently visited the
fruit growing districts of northern Ohio
and western New York. In Chautau
qua county. New York, on Lake Erie,
long known as a dairy region, the most
successful farmers had built up their
comfcrtable homes and had achieved
their prosperous condition by dairy
ing. The first efforts made in the
growing of the grape in commercial
quantities were a partial failure. Grow
ers now reason that In their former
work the vines were not planted deep
ly enough to have the roots withstand
the extreme cold of trying winters and
frequent failures were met with In Uie
first plantations. The varying expe
rience of a large number of planters
ultimately led to the selection of such
soils as were best suited to grape pro
duction and to such methods of plant
ing, cultivating and training the vine
as led to the successful growing of the
grape in commercial quantities.
Not all of the soil, and really but
a small portion of the land In Chau

The average cost of picking and
packing the grapes is from one to one
and one-half cent per basket. The
larger portion of the grapes are picked
by the women and girlB. The packing
of the baskets Is done by the piece.
A skillful packer can pack from 120 to
200 baskets per flay. Green and de
fective grapes, that Is, auch as are
burst by sap pressure and accident,
must be removed. The grapes carry
better and keep longer If they can be
wilted for twenty-four hours. Wilting
lessens the weight, toughens the stems
and the fruit stands up better. Each
basket to pass inspection must contain
eight pounds of fruit; the basket
weighs one pound. Until loaded in
ihe car the fruit Is kept in cool pack
ing houses.

A MERE INCIDENT.
BY JULIA TRUITT BISHOP.
(Copyright, 1901, by Authors' Syndicate.)
OFFICER O'FLYNN, whose beat
took in the park and many out
lying squares, found his soul
troubled within him because of
the Rtrbmer.ced tenth who came and sat
on the park benches when his back was
turned, in fuH view of the palaces of
the rich.
"The town's that full o' dirty hohos,"
he grumbled in bitterness of spirit,
"that they sets down in de park like
lords, an' de grass is wore off all 'roun'
the benches wid (is bis feet o' them.
An' when they see me comln' they take
a walk, an' the minute I'm gone there
they are back ag'in, setting there like
Jay Gould hisself. If I had my way
they'd be run out o' town tonight, bad
l'ick to 'em an' me gettin' raked over
de coalis all de time for not keepin' de
tramps out o' de park."
And then, going with a reserved and
dignified gait along his beat, and glanc
inn Lack as he went, he had the mor
tification to see the Jay Goulds of the
park benches lounging aimlessly in
from the adjacent streets as though
it had Just occurred to them that here
was a park where one might spend a
pleasant half-hour away from the noon
neat. or no matter what mean3
might be used by the powers that were,
the hobos were never run out of town.
llitferent parts of the park were un
der the tacit control of different groups.
Wandering Bill Wiggins held his crew
spellbound on and about the bench
near the fountain, where he told them
stories of the road and of men and wo
men, for lie had seen many lands. Fur
ther down, toward the end of the park,
were Dave and his coterie, who smok
ed and talked and watched the gay
world riding or driving by, and made
safe reflections on life and prosperity,
ana the people who had temporarily
managed to get on top.
"This ain't a good seat, Dave it's
too bunny," one of the contingent re
marked one day when the sun was at
its Lest. "Let's go an' rout Bill's gang
away from that fountain. They didn't
have no call to rush in there an' git
the best place before we foun' out what
ve wanted blame pigs!"
This place suits me," said Dave, ly
ing back on the bench and staring at
the network of blue through the leaves
oveil.rad. "You don't know when
o!T If this ain't good enough for any
hobo on earth, he ought to go to the
pen. Carpe diem, Roadsy which is
Latin for 'take the goods the gods pro
vide.' "
After that his name was changed
to "Iatin."
"You don't appreciate your priv
ileges," he moralized, gravely, one day,
as he trimmed the fringes from his
coat sleeve with his knife. "Here we.
arc facing a row of houses where live
tho truly elegant. Out in the world
they wouldn't recognize our existence,
Roadsy except perhaps to stare at us
haughtily and auk the polseman why
he didn't make those people move on.
Hpt. we have orchestra seats for every
performance. They come to the win
dow, and we look at them, and see how
they are dressed, and note the easy ele
gance of their white hands on the cur
tntn. They come oof for a drive, and
vvn mentally appraise tho value of their
horscr and carriages and estimate about
what they pay the coachman. Next
to being rich oneself this is perhaps
the greatest pleasure life gives. The
world, Roadsy, is made up of two
classes those who are rich, and those
who acquire brain fag computing how
much the rich spend on foolishness.
And when these people come out for a
walk we are the privileged class who
sit, here at our ease and see them
trip lightly-down the steps, and itemize
thel' frocks and shoes and gloves and
p.irasols, as though we were a Sunday
paper. In the evening they sit on the
porch, with all of us in our orchestra
chaira looking on; or perhaps they en
tertain, and we see the halls the halls
of feltal Joy, and fond memory brings
the light of other days around us. You
are Ignorant, Roadsy. You don't know
vhen you are in Paradise."
"Is that what you set herp the whole
hloomln' day fur?" asked Roadsy In
deep disgust "Jest set here to watch
b'okes wlri money havin' a good time?
You're gittln' awful tony all to onct,
I-atln."
"The result of association." said Lat
lu, with a smile. "When I am on the
park bench, opposite Rome, I Instinc
tively do as Rome does. And when I
am out on the road with you, Roadsy,
and with Tike and Sam there, I do as
yon all do which Is wby the officer
who Is Just coming around that corner
regards me as a hobo."
They arose with great promptness
and strolled away In different direc
tions, and Officer O'Flynn swore to
himself at the mark of the feet that
were wearing off the park grass.
When they strolled hack again, a few
minutes later, Roadzy had matured a
grlevan e; and reclaimed it grum
bling. "Talk about wo all makln' hobos o'
you," he Raid, "you wa'n't any bloom
ing' gentleman when we first seen ye,
as 1 known on. It wmn't us that made
ye drink like a fish, was It? You'd
larned that 'fore ever we seen ye. Well,
then? What ye got to say about
that?"
"Not a word, Roadsy," said Latin,
placidly, staring absently at the house
across (he way. "Not a word. You
are a pkllosophcr, Roadsy bcslde
having a pooii memory. Be sure to
make that consoling statement when
you write my obituary: 'He was bis
own worst enemy," is a gentler way of
putting it than 'he drank like a filsh"
and is more soothing to the survivors."
'Blame!" was the sole remark of
Roadsy.
"Now, for instance," murmured Lat
in, without taking his eyes from the
door of the house ocross tie way, "It Is
the hour for the afternoon drive. The
coa. hitian is at the door with the neat
and unpretentious surrey a very mod
est ecju ppage. I have noticed and in
a little while the lady will come forth
and go for her daily drive."
Latin was holding a match to the
cigarette between his teeth, but as
his eyes were still fastened on the op
posite bouse, and as his hand trembled
with, the nervousness of the road and
of that which brought him there,' the
matcn was nowhere near the cigarette.
"Them folks is real swell nabobs,"
said Roadsy, appreciatively. "When
thein winders is open you can see mar
ble Etaioos an things an books to
burn. One night I seen that woman
cryin' or prayin' or somethin', wtih her
f-ice ag'ir- a little marble statoo with
wings an' a bow 'n' arrer.'"
"Oh, Cupid, Cupid that it should
come to this!" said Lain, absently.
The match had burned out, and be
threw it away.
hpre she comes," said Roadsy,
idly. "Fust time I ever seen 'er face
good. Gee whiz!'"
The woman stepped into the surrey,
and then remembered something, and;
sent the coachman after it. While he
was gone she sat holding the reins and
looKing away down the BtreeL Even at
the distance of the park- bench one
culd rote that she did not see the
street, nor anything within the line of
physical vision. She was looking at
something very, very far away.
Perhaps it was the look on her face
that made Latin take off his hat. With
a hurried glance, Roady followed' his
example. It was so distinctly foolish
that he feigned to be looking for some
thing In the crown of it, which he failed
to find. And thus it was that for the
moment he missed what was coming.
Aroiind the curve of the park came
an automobile, its bell clanging, and
swept close by the side of the surrey.
The startled horses made a spring to
one siJe in terror, and the reins held
so ioosely were snatched from the wo
man's hands.
The surrey ran on two wheels as the
horses turned and fled, but it righted
itself and shot within a hair's breadth
of a city cart meandering around tha
roudway. The woman sat still, holding
to the stanchions, but making no out
cry, and with no added whiteness in
the face that was already white.
"This is the end," she whispered to
herself, and smiled.
Woking neither to the right nor to
the left, she could not see the flying
figure taking a short-cut across the
curve, and Just catching to the back of
the surrey. She was sensible, present
ly, that some one was climbing over
the driver's seat and out on to the
pole, with a hand on the horse's back
on either side. At the end of the pole
be did something she did not know
what but the horses were checked.
And then she saw him go down.
Other people were there then crowds
and crowds of tnem, snatching at the
bits and Jerking the trembling horses
to a standstill, but they had been there
soon enough to prevent the last few
starts and plunges. Everybody knew
beforehand how it must be with man
they dragged out from under the
horses' feet.
"Ring for the ambulance!" shouted
