tention or aroused so much interest
as the one to Bend representative ex
hibits of Western apples to Chicago.
He said:
"Districts where the growers for
merly felt they did not ' produce
enough apples to warrant making a
showing, have engaged space this
year, because the crop gives promise
of being an unusually large one and
the 'live wires' In the various com
munities see the opportunity for ex
ploitation to thousands of eastern peo
ple who cannot attend the apple show
In Spokane, but who will visit the ex
hibition In Chicago, the center of a
population of 14,000,000, within a rad
ius of 150 miles."

A MEXICAN FIRE BRIGADE.
Loisursly Way They Fight the Flames
at Matamoraa.
It might be thought that such an ex
citing thing as a fire would startle the
Mexicans out of their habitual Indo
lence, but such is not the case.
The alarm of a fire at Matamoras.
Coahulla. Mexico, was given by, the
discharge of uumcrous pistols and
guns, says a writer in the Wide World
Magazine, and I hastened to the scene,
thinking at first that a battle was
raging.
After a long Interval, during which
the people watched the fire wltb In
terest, chattering among themselves
meanwhile, there appeared placidly
trundling along the road the Matamo
rasan equivalent of a fire engine, a
barrell rolling along the ground, drawn
by a reluctant burro.
A swivel pin in each end of the keg
permitted It to roll freely, and ropes
attached . If to the animal. Behind
walked the fire brigade, a solitary
peon, bearing a bucket. Arrived at the
scene of the conflagration, the water,
in tne Darrei was poured into buckets
and bauled to the roof of an adjacent
bouse, whence It was flung on to tbe
flames.
Everybody was greatly excited. The
calmest thing of all was the fire, which
burned steadily on till there, was noth
Ing left to consume. Then as the spec
tacle . was over tbe people dispersed.
Every one was satisfied except per
haps the unfortunate owner of tbe
house that had been destroyed.

A LAND OF LEISURE.
Th Ptopi. of Guatemala Like to Take
" -1 Thing Easy.
Just as Spain is the land of "maim
na," Guatemala bus been called the
land of "no hay." Tbene worda uiouu
"there is none,", and one bears them
wherever one goes. If the people do
noi want to bother. wir
Winter In "Guatemala a lid Uer People
of Today," that will be their Invariu
ble answer. ?
You might go up to a bouse where
the yard was full of chickens, the wo
man engaged In making tortillas and
fruit trees loaded with fruit In the
yard and yet have a conversation
about like the following:
"Have you any meat?"
"No bay" (pronounced eye). : .
"Have you any eggs?"
"No hay." . ,
"Have you a bouse?" :
"No hay." - ' : ' .
Id such a case the best way to do Is
to enter the house and bunt round for
yourself and blandly order the woman
to prepare whatever you chance to
find. .Then. If you leave a small sum
of money with ber on departing, sbe
will not take any offense, but will po
litely thapk you.
Time Is the only thing wltb which
they seem to be well supplied. - It I
equally bard to get anything done, for
unless the party Is willing to do the
work requested be will find some plau
slble excuse. An American traveling
across the country a few yean ago
round it necessary to have his horse
shod at one of the small towns. .There
were three blacksmiths In the town.
Of these one was sick, but had sup
plies, a second bad no nails and the
third no charcoal. As there was no
lending among the craft , the horse
could not be shod.
v Bill Langa'a Long Hit
In to article on "Batting" in the
American Magazine Hugh 8. Fuller
ton describes as follows the longest hit
ever recorded: .v
"Lange, who was of the middle ages
of the game, made a bit in Cincinnati
which Is regarded by many as the
longest hit ever made. The ball clear
ed the centeMield fence, which was
on top of a nigh embankment, sailed
across Western avenue, went through
the . window of a saloon J and was
found behind the bar. The hit made
a fortune for the saloon, as big crowds
went to see the ball on exhibition."
BURKETT IN BIG LEAGUE.
Former Great Infialdar Slatad to Man
aga St. Louia Browns.
Jesse C. Burkett, the greatest base-
ball general that the New England
league ever had, in that he has won
four successive pennnnts for Worces
ter, is going to quit as a minor league
baseball manager. Burkett made this
very plain in an interview recently.
For several weeks there has been an
Inside story going the rounds of the
New, England league landing Burkett
with a berth in the major leagues as
a manager as the result of his phe
nomenal work In Worcester.
When asked if he Is considering an
offer to manage either the Cincinnati
Nationals or the St Louis Americans
Burkett said. ,"Wont be in . Worces
ter." ...
This is taken as an excellent hint by
Burketfs closest friends that the for
mer major leaguer will succeed Jack
O'Connor as manager of the St Louis
Browns, .
Burkett signed with Worcester In
1006 after purchasing his own release
from tbe Boston Red Sox. to which
club he was traded for Outfielder Stone
and a cash consideration. , Entering
ueiuuu league, Burnett rap
idly pushed himself forward as a great
baseball general. One of the first play,
era developed by Burkett . was- Harry
Lord, the Red Sox's third baseman and
captain. Burkett has developed a host
of other players who are norr doing
brilliant workjn the njanra. ; .
