RICH ROGUE RIVER VALLEY. tn-fgfMis nkny .'ruxs Ithnl Those of Italian Vineyards. A letter from Grant's, Pass to tho Chicago Pucker says: rhe Tokay grape enthusiasts of Itogue river volley and of Grant's Pass In particular, have hnd to revise their figures on vineyard acreage. Needless to say these figures will have to be In creased uh they have had to be each month since It was discovered that the climate and the peculiar red soil, found only in the foothills of Itogue River valley, are Ideal for vineyards. The Flume Tokay reaches such per fection here In color, quality and flavor that It is a marvel both to pro ducer and consumer alike. Truly this part of tho valley la "the Italy of America." The cause for recent enthusiasm is the fact that the W. B. Sherman vine yards have Just "heeled out" a car of slips containing 100,000 Tokay slips from Lodl, Cal. "I expect to plant 120 acres this siting," said Mr. Sherman to the Packer man, "and next year this will be Increased to 200 acres. "We grow other things in this val ley besides fruit." said Mr. Sherman. "I want to show you my hotbeds whore I grow my tomato plants. We grow from 20 to 30 tons of tomatoes pet acre. This year I will put out about 16 acres and, In fact, havo already contracted that amount at $10 per ton." The Sherman vineyards are ndjacent to tho city on the east, on a warm gentle slope to the southwest, amid beautiful natural surrounding. Prult growers nre not the only ones Interested In the grape Industry for you hoar It talked of everywhere at the hotels and business houses of tho city, and fully 60 per cent of tho busi ness men havo orchards or vineyards of their own. Between 800 nnd 1000 acres of ap ples and pears havo been set out dur ing the winter and spring. Grant's Pass has a climate peculiar to Itself, being a happy medium be tween the dry hot weather of some parts of California and the cold rainy weather farther north. The term "Sunny Oregon" undoubtedly found its origin In tho Rogue River valley. Grand Faster Ball.

In the days "befo' de wah" a bandy negro named Jack was saving money earned at odd times with which to buy his freedom. His master encouraged him and kept his money for him. In Ume Jack bad saved $000 and needed only another hundred to make him free. His mister told him that It wouldn't be long now until be could get another hundred. Jack went out with another slave to celebrate soma local festival. Returning along the railroad track tbey were frightened by an approacblig train. Ilotb got off the track, but Jack's companion fell and. striking bis head agalust a rock, was killed. Jack hurried as rapidly as ho could to his master's bouse. It wa a late hour, hut the master must hear blm. He said, "Gimme mah money right now." The astonished mastef remonstrated, saying, "Out, Jack, you need only another hundred dollars to get free." "I knows It, Mars' Henry, I knows it, but niggers Is too onsartlu Bill Jes' killed hhseir by bustin' his head agin a rock, an' I a in' gwlne In vea' mah money in nothln' 4s onsartlu as niggers." Washington Herald. Grieg as Schoolboy. Qrleg, the noted composer, was not a pattern schoolboy. In a description of his days at school he wrote: "Knowing that by arriving late I would not be allowed to enter the class until the end of tbe first lesson, I used, on wet morn ings, to stand under a dripping roof until I was soaked to the skin. The master then sent me home to change my clothes, .hut the distance being long this was equivalent to giving me a dis pensation. Tou may guess that I played this prank pretty often, but when at last I carried it so far as to come oue day wet through, though It had hardly rained at all, tbey became suspicious and kept a lookout. One tine day I was caught and made an in timate acquaintance with the birch." St James' Uacette.

Dickens announced this, and the announcement was received with a general laugh of incredulity. This made Dickens very angry, and he rose manfully to the de fense of tbe delinquent.
