that Edwin Weaver, of Myrtle
Creek, Oregon, has contracted his
orop of prunes to T. N. Segar, of
Eugene, on the basis of 44 cents for

prunes are wanted for a foreign
market.
T. Greiner, the well known horti
cultural writer, finds that it pays
woll to thin fruit. In the case of
Bartlett pears saleable fruit oan
only be obtained in western New

they refuse to louoh small pears
The enormous scale on whioh
frozen meat is shipped from AtiS'
tralasia to England is shown by the
fact that one steamship recently ar
rived at London whioh unloaded
8,000,000 pounds of frozen mutton
15,000 poundB of frozen rabbits and
10,000,000 pounds of frozen beef,
oheese, etc.
In densely settled portions of New
England eleotno railroads are be:
ing extended through the country
in all directions. Many of these
roads carry passengers by day and
freight at night. In some oases
farmers drivo their loaded wagons
onto flat oars and thus renoh the
oity in time for the early market.
Pears draw very heavily on the
potash in tho soil. In orchards

for using it, Actual experimental
t ats are the only satisfactory
method of determining whether the
use of potash or of phosphate will
pay.
No person who is raising winter
apples for market in Oregon and
Washington oan afford to forget the
importance of tbe late sprayings for

spraying of all to be the one given
about the end of August.
Home California paper tells a
pretty big story about canning as
paragus. It is alleged tbat the as
paragus from 80,000 aores of rich

quin County, was this year put up
by one cannery at rermlnous In
that county. When one begins to
figure up the amount of asparagus
that oan be grown on one aore he
soon wonders how many tralnloads
of asparagus that oannery oould
put up In a day.
Tbe ox-eye daisy is steadily
spreading in the country about
Portland. Old fields which have
been usod as pastures for a number
of years are literally taken by this
pest. It spreads rapidly in any
pasture in whioh it gets started.
The only way of getting rid of it is
by thorough cultivation of the land.
It spreads by root as well as by
seeds, hence it Is not eradicated by
simply mowing off the plants. Clean
cultivation of tbe land for two years
in succession is tbe proper treat
ment for holds in whioh the plant
has established itself.

Letter carrier No. 400 waa swinging
back to the postorflce at a fins clip. It
was late In tbe afternoon, and he had
finished bis last delivery.
Letter Carrier X bad an east end
route. It wasn't an aristocratic route,
but they were nice people, and they ap
preciated their obliging and good look
ing carrier, for carrier No. 400 was
really one of the most presentable mea
on the force. He wasn't exactly a
young man, be had stepped over the
80 line, but there wasn't a younger
man on the force who could outclass
him In any way.
In fact, he was what the feminine
lexicon would dense aa an eligible par
ty. Be was quite alone In the world;
he had a tidy amount In the bank; be
carried a goodly sum of life Insurance;
he had no cause to fear for the future.
Added to this be waa sober, faithful.
Intelligent and hadn't a vice worthy of
the name.
' Possibly hie only defect was an en
tire Indifference to the Improving sex.
which certainly waa not their .fault,
for be was, as has been emphasised, a
decidedly goodly man to gaae upon.
Aa he tamed the comer on to tbe ave
nue a young woman carrying a small
handbag suddenly confronted him.
"If yon pleaaa," said the young wo
Letter carrier No. 400 stopped. She
was a comely young woman with dark
eyes and a clear complexion, and when
he had farther noticed that she had a
dimple Id her left cheek. It suddenly
occurred to him be was a quick
thinker that when you own as pretty
a dimple as that, one of them la quite
enough. Besides this, ber voice was
low and quite musical, and the carrier
who knew really nothing about such
things, felt sure that her clothes, al
though quite plain, gave her a strik
ingly neat appearance.
Be stopped short and lifted his hat
"It you please," the young woman
timidly repeated, "I want to ask a fa
vor." "Certainly," said the carrier.
And hla smile seemed to reassure
her.
'I came to the city," ahe rapidly ex
plained, "to find an aunt whom I had
not seen for years. I had written to
her I was coming and knew her ad
dress. But when I went to tbe house
I found she had suddenly moved away
out of the city, the neighbors said.
And now I am quite at a loss what to
do. I have never been In a city before,
and I do not know where to go." The
young woman's voice trembled a little.
"They told me at home," she added,
"tbat If 1 got lost or wanted to know
where to find places I must speak to a
policeman." -
"1 am not," said the carrier, "a po
liceman, but that," be hastily added,
"makes no difference." Be added It
Just In time, for the young woman
seemed quite startled.
"I am only one of Uncle Sam's post
men," said the carrier, "but I fancy I
can meet this emergency quite aa well
aa If I walked a beat Instead of a
route."
He smiled aa be said this, and bis
smile was so Infectious that he fancied
the young woman fairly echoed It
"I have It!" he cried. "Ton muat go
to Mrs. Torrena. She'll take care of
you tonight anyway. . Tell her what
you told me and say that 1 sent you.
Here he blushed slightly. He was
playing quite a new role.
"And your name!" the young woman
timidly asked.
"George," replied ' carrier 400.
"George Tolllver. Here's my card. Mrs.
Torrens knows me. Go back to the
Brut street turn the comer; it's a
white cottage with blue chairs on the
porch."
Blio thanked him gratefully and they
went their several ways.
As he strode down the street car
rier 400 suddenly noticed that he was
whistling as he hadn't whistled since
he was a boy.
Tbe next niornlug when he stepped
on the Torrens porch the, door sudden
ly opened and the young woman stood
on tho threshold. She looked amazing
ly well without her hat and wonderful
ly nf at with her white collar and cuffs.
"Mrs. Torrens said you were coming
up the street" she murmured, "and I
wanted to thauk you for your kindness.
She Is a lovuly lady, and I am to stay
! and help her with ber sewing for a

He saw tbe young woman alia set ssbr

good Mrs. Torrens seemed quits kMatkt
to lot her go. And one morning oaS '
rter 400 said to her aa ha shuttled ovsty """
his letters, "You don't soein to bothasj
the postmen to any fatiguing extent,"
"No," she answered a little sadly, -"there
la nobody to writ. X am quits)
alone In the world."
And If It needed any bond of symfsv
thy to draw carrier 400 to this Tillngi
maiden here It was.
One day be boldly said to her, "Haw
you seen much of tbs cltyt"
No, she hadn't She guessed she wa
a little timid.
"May I call for you Sunday nssrav

felt waa really paralysing, "and tak

I will ask Mrs. Torrens," she salt.
with a happy smile. "I would Uka a
go ever so much."
Bo they went, aa the weather was de
lightful, and carrier 400 knew wbsa '
to order sucb a nice luncheon, and.
really, when tbey came back late Is
tbe afternoon the man of tbe party tett
that be had never spent quite such a
delightful day.
But alas, there waa a dark cloud ua
the offing.
As the carrier looked over hla letter
the next morning there was one far
'Mrs. Tom Trimble." It waa in torn
care of Mrs. Torrens, and the addreaa
was written in a stiff, vertical hand.
He read this' address to the neat
young woman at the door, and when :-
she beard It she hesitated a moment;'
and then with a merry laugh -and a
quick blush said, "Yes, that's for me."
And Carrier George walked away
with a heavy heart and the sky tost
Its color, and tbe grass seemed dull anal .
brown.
She bad told him her name waa Anna
Ha vena. And ahe looked so honest anal .
so Innocent
He came and went aa usual, but be
no longer had a smile and friendly
word for the false girl at tbe Torreno
door. He was all business now. Nev
ertheless bis heart waa bruised anal
ro.
He couldn't help but notice that she
looked at htm curiously, and almost .
appeallngly, and he even fancied ska
was getting paler.
Worrying about that brute of tv
husband, I suppose," thought Carrier
George, and be felt that tbe neglectful .
Trimble would do well to keep off tbat
particular carrier's route.
One morning sbe mustered up coaw
age and said to him: "I fear I mar
have unintentionally offended yes.
Ton you" ahe couldn't atop ber vote
from trembling a Uttle "have been sat
kind and so helpful to me that I w octal
not for the world have you think that
I am not truly grateful."
Do not distress yourself, Mrs. Trlse-.
ble," said Carrier George coldly. "It
Isn't worth while,"
"Mrs. Trimble!" echoed the gtrL
"Mrs. Trimblet Why do you call mat
that? Oh, oh, did you think I waa real
ly married r
-I had an Idea," said Carrier George
a little shakily, "that when people are
married at all they are really married.'
"But I'm not married at all!" cried!
the girl with a merry laugh. "Tommy
Trimble la only a 9-year-old boy! Ifa
all a Joke. He belongs to a neighbor
family at home, and. almost since be
could talk he haa claimed me aa his)
sweetheart It was just bis boyiah fust
putting that address on tbe envelope.
Walt! I'U show you bis letter."
"No," said Carrier George huskily.
"I'U-ril aee yon again."
Be walked away feeling be bad had
a shock. At the same time he ootlcoat
the sky waa quite blue again, and too
air fairly seethed with sunnhlne. .
Be knew Just what he wanted ta
say as be came up the street next
morning. What be did say waa thia.
and he said It very quickly:
"Miss Havens. Anna, would you be
willing to change that address to Mm.
George TolUverT Will you jilt Tom ml

"Poor TommleS" said Anna very soft
ly as she' put her little band In tne
carrier's strong grasp.
And so It presently happened that &
