(From Daily Statesman. June: 13.)
As the fruit continues to mature,
there is every indication that there will
bea fair jield of Italian prunes, despite
theyery damaging frost and unreason
able rains! of the spring. '
; J IL' Shepard. of 2ena, was in the
city yesterday afternoon and reported
prospects for a good, fruit crop in his
neighborhood quit avtrabl - He
says lie Expects a fair' crop of ItJ:sn
prunes,liis trees containing a consid
erable amount of The fruit- Mr. Shep
ard says something will have to be done
to relieve the Petite prune trees of the
enormous wtight 'of 4 fruit they hokl.
Prospects for a big yield of other fruits
are very good, says Mr. Shepard.
There is j less scab j than usual on the
apples and pears. J i
. While, Mr. Shepard i expects a fair
yieid of Italian orunes, he is not dis
posed to be over-confident, for last
seasontbe outlook. was most favorable
Until just before 'harvesting, when near
ly of the fruit fell; from the trees. Mr,
Shepard fears that this season may wit-
nes afe repetition oif last year's di'sap-
pMinting results, and will wait for the
harvest before venturing any predic-'
tions as to the probable yield. ,
Concerning thetork of the Cured
Fruit Association of fthe Pacific North
west, the Oregonian' yesterday had the
following: i
"The Cured Fruit Association or
ganized in Portland last .week, expects
to ship '350 !carloads, of dried prunes
from, Oregon this year, and 150 car
loads from V ashinzton and ' Idaho, ac
cording to Secretary H. E. Dosch. of
this cit.iwho says the association al-j
ready controls- 75 per cent 01 tpe out

ceed are now -writing to the secretary
for information as to terms 'of meni-Ix-rs'hipi
and" they express fthemselve's
as satisfied . that organization for the
purpose of "marketing the fruit to the
best advantage is a 'good -scheme. ;
' " 'Prune growers have heretofore
been obliged to , compete with each
other indisposing; of their prunes, Mr.
Dosch said ytsterday, 'but now each
will ship through fhe association, which
will look out for the interests of.ajl,
and at a much smaller commission than
the brokers hjave been charging. .
" 'Prune drying will begin about
Ceptcmber 20th, ( and the ; association
will have its own packing houses at
convenient points;. (The label of the
organization : will be affixed, to each
parcel, and; shipmients will be made di
rect from each district..
''A good market for the prunes of
the Northwest vhas sprung up in every
city where there is a -large German
population and when the article - has
once been introduced it holds its own
ever after, on aecbunt of its superiority.
The Oregon dned prune has therefore
become as staple f.as apples or potatoes
in many Eastern! and European cities.
and the-demand Is increasing irom year
to year. ' ; - i
"TJie prune ctoj of Oregon and
WahiJgton is lighter this year, on ac
count of unfavorable conditions after
the trees blossomed in the spring, but
in Idal.o thei yield is well up to the' av
erage. A good tnany driers are being
built in the Snake river valley, in con
sequence i of .the increased yield. W'ere
conditions as favorable in Oregon and
Washington, the three tates would
ship 1200 carloads, instead of 500. The
association will not handle green fruit.
" 'But 50O carloads of dried prunes
means $500,000 to the producers of the
Northwest, and this amount of money
scattered among the prune raisers will
eventually make itseW felt in the whole
comnmnity.' " j

THE RHYME THAT
- CAME
NEVER
' Pennington Bardslcy. the poet, sat
fn his study, thinking. He had just
Written the line,
Man. if thou didst but know thyself,
and was trying to find something be
sides shelf or pelf that would rhyme
with it. After he had struggled ior a
long time he became conscious of the
sound of voices in the parlor, flis wiie
was entertaining a caller, and, without
intending to do so, he listened to what
the ladies were saying, says the Chi
cago J imes-Herald.
"By the way," he heard the visitor
say, "I saw a book the other lay that
was about the unhappy wives of men
of genius, and I have often heard that
geniuses are so erratic, so peculiar in
their habits, don't you know, that living
with thorn becomes almost impossi
ble' ; -
"Yes.' Mrs. Bardsley sighed. "It's a
good deal that way. or,, at least. I have
found it so. The woman who is wedded
to a, genius onay smile when the world
sees her. but back of -it - her heart is
oiten breaking. - -
The poet drew a long breath, and
brushed the tumbled hair back from
his marble brow, resolving the while
to try to be in future more considerate
of his darling than he had been in the
A pa?t.
"Poor, bruised bird! he said to him
self. "'With my fancies in cloudland. I
have failed to see her wistful looks. l
have broken her heart -by my neglect. I
must make amends. I will bring myself
down to her level again and cheer her
up with words of love. -'
Then the caller exclaimed:
"I'm so surprised to hear that you
and Mr. Bardslcy are not happily mat
ed. Everybody thinks you are such a
contented "couple." -
"Oh, we are!" was the reply. ."Dear
old Pennington is the easiest man in
the world to get along with. I was
thinking of my 4irst husband. Your
reference to men of genius carried me
back lo the unhappy hours he gave
me. You know it was through his in
vention of clothes-wringer that we be
came wealth- -"
A jarring ncjise as of someone falling
in .-her husbatid's study caused her to
break off suddenly and run to sec what
was the matter.
. Pennington Bardsley had ' -fainted,
and in his hand, as he lay on the floor;
was clutched a sheet of paper with this
line written across it:
"Man if thou didst buf.fcnow thyself.

GRAND ARMY SOUVENIRS
FROM CONFEDERATE GUNS.
Union veterans -of the War of the
Rebellion and victors . at the thirty
fourth annaaf encampment of" the
Grand Army of the Republic, whijh
will convene in Chicago August 26th,
will have a treat in the way of dele
gate and souvenir iadg"es. Two ' con
federate cannon have been donated by
act of congress. These will be melted
and out of the molten fluid will be
.coined the souvenirs emblematic of the
occasion of this ye.ir and the four
years cf lighting between- the North
and the South of forty years ago.
Recently when th cannon arrived in
Chicago ' Columbia post provided , a
strong escort- and paraded the guns
through the downtown sjreets. Then
they posed for Gibson, the . photo
grapher, who succeeded in obtaining
an almost perfect negative wherein
every veteran's face i easily recog
nizable. " '
To the old soldiers who in their youth
artwered. their country's call in- the
early 6o's the badges which will be
made from these guns will have a spe
cial significance and value. They know
that in those days guns were not cap
tured from as toraire fighters as were
the southrons without the spilling of
blood. They appreciate the fact that
some of their comrades laid down their
lives that the lives of thers might be
Spared from their deadly tire. . - .
One of the guns- was captured by
Meade's men in one- o the - "jlouHlicst 4 ,

SAID IN SHORT WORDS.
A Strong Talk in Monosyllables Made,
- by an Ohio' Man.
In these days of turgid eloquence,
when public spea-kers seem to vie with
one another to see how many triplc
jotntcd words they can lug into .1
speech, and s-'c-cm to scorn the strength
and beauty of hort words, an address
delivered many years ago by A. P. Ed
gerton, of Ohio, has -peculiar weight,
and is an eloquent -.argument in favor'
of short, direct; metli ol s of speech. Mr.
Edgerton is farmer member of con
gress, and was civil service commis
sioner under President Cleveland. Thc
address was delivered in 1KS2 at the
commencement of the Fort' Wayne high
school, in Indiana, and while it was
impromptu and not at all a studied
effort at monosyllabic diction, each
of the words it contains is.a monosyl
lable. Not only that, but a an orator
ical effort it ranks high. The address
is as follows: - ' " :
"This day we close for the year the
Fort Wayne free school., and we now
part with you., the girls and boys we
are no more to teach.
