Terms cash or any equivalent." At the begining of the editorial col umn was the following: "The City Journul. Rev. Eral. editor. "Those were great times when the good gray poet was a fron tier lawyer, lutor a county judge. but always a poet. Tradition says he was a good lawyer.a good Judge dis pensing even-handed justice with a draco or six-snooiers in one hand, a copy of Shakespeare in the other and a bible in bis desk. It needs not the evidence of tradition to prove that he was a good pout. And yet the city journul of the day and date above mentioned is a revaleut and material document to show that the poet of the Sierras when before he saw the Stor ms when ins visual nonson was bounded on one side by the heaven climbing llliie mountains of Baker county and the other by the vast plains of Harney, was a poet. Road hero his greeting to the new year: "Now year's Eve," it begins. "An other peiu'l, the Persians say lias dropped from the horn of time Into the ocean of eternity.

Caldwell (Idaho) Rural. "Most of onr readers have studied the article relative to the seedless apple. This tree will not be for sale for two years from this spring, when the de mand will probably exceed anything hrtifrr known for nursery stock. The company has a large orchard and nursey at Lee's Summit, Mo., and this fall will set out a few million more trees. The apple was exhibited at the Ht. Louie Fair and will also he exhibited at the Portland Exposition. We are in hopes to have one on view at the Gazette otlice this fall, although as yet they are as scarce as Queen bees." Kendrick Gaz ette. That "seedless apple," Brother Mac intosh, has been getting a whole lot of free advertising of late, nd a good deal of it is not very Battering either. Here, for example, is one from a prominent horticultural journal, under the cap tain " Seedless Apples in History." "Surely it is to the shortness of the public's memory that gives fakirs and their grafts life and prolit. Fifteen years ago, tho press was nearly as full of the seedless apple as it is today. At that time Prof. L. II. Bailey punctii'rd the claims of its promoters by saying: "It apiears to possess no value asiile from its curiosity." H. E. Van Heman, then United States Pomologist, said of it : "My opinion is that the variety is practically worthless asa fruit, but Is quite interesting as a curiosity. Anvone who plants trees of this variety will be disappointed except in Having meir curiosity bbubucu. Going further back it is found referred to in this country in 18iiH, '(i!) and '70. Then takinn a long look back a seedless and coreless apple is found described by a French horticulturist. Lclectier, in KI28. Surely if the great possibilities of the fruit claimed by its present discover ers were really there, they would have asserted themselves long ago. If a seed less apple tree agent strikes you, start him on an endless walk. In addition to the above, several other agricultural papers and fruit experts have exploited the "seedless," and they have practically all of them said "don't except you want the satisfaction of seeins a sort of freak curiosity, of lit tle or no practical value, and at best fur below, in size and quantity, many well tested and popular apples of today. It's all right to give the "seedless" a trial, but the advice of the Gem State Rural is to go slow on it at a financial ven ture. Roosevelt's Old Buggy. Richard JohiiHon of Minot, N. D., owns a buggy which waB used by Theo dore Roosevelt on his Maltese (Irons ranch in North Dakota nearly twenty five years ago. The buggy had been in use for fifteen years prior to the time young Roosevelt used it. Mr. Johnson will send the old vehicle to the Lewis and Clark exposition. Many of the trap pings used bv Koosevelt during his two year's sojourn in Dakota have been pre served by his admirers. One of these relics is a dinkv little old straw hat which looks very funny now, but it was the New Y ork city Btylo when the young man wore it out to Dakota in 1XHI.

"I have been using Chamberlain's Cough remedy and want to say it is the best cough medicine 1 have ever tak en," says Geo. L. Chubb, a merchant of Harlan, Mich. There Is no question about its being the best, as It will cure a cough In less time than any other treatment.
