SHORTY M'GOVERN, BURGLAR By Frederick White Copyright, 1902, by McClure's Newspaper Syndicate Shorty McGovern was a good burglar—from a business standpoint. His victims would probably have admitted as much had they been called upon to testify, but they never had the opportunity, for Shorty always succeeded in getting away safely. From the ethical standpoint, it may be presumed that he was a bad burglar; but, being human, it may also be presumed that there was still some little good in his makeup. And good there was, as the few who knew him well were willing to swear. A master craftsman, a stanch friend and, outside of his profession, a man of quiet, simple tastes. A reader of books between jobs, and not too diligent at his work, which in his case was more to be commended than deplored. Shorty often strolled about uptown—sometimes with an eye to future business, more often because he liked to feel that he was part of the everyday, respectable life of the city. Sometimes he regretted that poverty prevented him from being respectable all the time; but a man must live, and he was too good a burglar to be anything else. Today Shorty was only half way up town; likewise he was only half way respectable, for, seated on a bench in the square, he could not help noticing that the brownstone house opposite looked prosperous—and easy. That balcony, screened by vines from observation below, was accessible, and the window behind old fashioned and not difficult to force. Shorty possessed a nicely trained eye and often saw things that would have escaped an ordinary observer. As he sat there going over prospects and possibilities the door of the house opened and a child ran down the steps and, crossing the street, stepped quickly this. Somehow it seemed almost like robbing the dead. Yet it was so easy, and he was in need of the money. Shorty did not know it, but he was afflicted with a vivid imagination. He saw the mother's grief at losing the last gift of her dead husband. He saw her apprehension when she discovered that her son had taken the jewels even in play. He also saw the boy's terror when the case was taken from him. And yet it was so easy and the opportunity had come without his seeking. There was no one near them. He stopped suddenly and grasped the boy by the shoulder. The child's eyes opened wide in fright, for he saw that he was in danger of something. The man looked very cross and different now. "Don't you open your mouth or I'll kill you!" said Shorty savagely. "Now listen to me." "You're a thief an' I'm a liar an' a thief. The goldfish don't know or care anything about diamonds. I told you that to get you over here so I could get that thing away from you. I know all about diamonds, an' I care a lot for 'em too." The boy, too frightened to stir or cry out, trembled in the clutch of the man. "You've been playin' a bad game," Shorty went on. "an' you've met a real burglar, one who really steals things an' scares people half to death. Now, listen to what I tell you, an' don't you ever forget it." "You go straight home an' put that thing where you found it an' never you understand me—never play that kind of a game again. You needn't tell your mother, because she's got troubles of her own, an' it would only make her feel worse if she knew you took it. Do you understand, an' will you promise?" The boy gulped and nodded his head quickly. All he wanted was to get home; but, young as he was, he realized that he had done something very wicked. Shorty smiled at the forlorn, frightened little figure. Then his face grew red, and, bending over, he hurriedly kissed the boy's curly head. "Gift," he commanded, "an' don't you stop runnin' till you're inside that door." The boy brushed the tears from his face and started. "Hang them kids!" said Shorty, FOREIGN FRUIT AND NUTS U.S. Consuls Make Reports For Guidance of Local Producers According to government consular reports from Italy, an average lemon crop and a fair walnut yield is expected. The bulletin issued says: “This summer’s crop will be a good average one, larger than that of last year, but the fruit leaves something to be desired as regards size and appearance, and the quality not being up to the usual standard for keeping, which not permit of more than one-half bushel shipped to places like the United States, where a long voyage is necessary. Therefore, it is quite probable that shipments to America will be short of usual. “I should judge the yield at about eighty thousand boxes, of which one-third will be available for shipping to the United States; the mainder will be disposed of in European markets. As I have already mentioned, the quality of the lemons somewhat below the average, but portions shipped to America will specially selected and of the usual grade. “I estimate that the price will be about $2.75 per box f.o.b. Rates freight may be taken as 10d. per box by the ordinary steamers and 1 shilling per box by the fasteners, as against 1 shilling and one-third shilling respectively last year. “As to walnuts, it is yet much early to give any definite idea as to the prospects for the new crop. Trees, however, gave a good blossom this would point to a good average crop, provided of course, that we have good weather between now and October when the shipping season begins.” From Hungary the following report is made on the net yield by Con Frank D. Chester: “This year a good home crop of nuts is expected in Hungary, as this has been no damage caused by elements up to date. The home usually amounts to 150 to 220 caries of 10,000 kilos, say ten tons each. Materials are usually cash against billading. Delivery takes place after terminated by seller from the place.” Today Shorty was only half way up town; likewise he was only half way respectable, for, seated on a bench in the square, he could not help noticing that the brownstone house opposite looked prosperous and—easy. That balcony, screened by vines from observation below, was accessible, and the window behind old fashioned and not difficult to force. Shorty possessed a nicely trained eye and often saw things that would have escaped an ordinary observer. As he sat there going over prospects and possibilities the door of the house opened and a child ran down the steps and, crossing the street, stepped quickly behind a tree trunk in the park. Shorty glanced up at the house, expecting some one to follow, but the door did not open again. The boy, for it was a boy, slipped over to another tree, bringing him near the bench upon which Shorty sat. Shorty grew interested. The boy was evidently hiding from some one. Shorty was fond of children. He liked to talk with them, and in this case perhaps the boy might say something worth hearing. "Hello, kid!" he said. "Playin' Indian?" The child looked up shyly. He saw a pleasant faced young man smiling at him reassuringly. Evidently he was a man worth cultivating, for he understood the art of playing "Indian." Strange men usually embarrassed him, but there was something very companionable about this one. He did not look just like the men who came to his own home, and this fact interested him also. He leaned against the tree and pushed back the disordered hair from his face, regarding Shorty gravely. The observation was apparently satisfactory, for after a moment's hesitation he answered cheerfully: "No, I'm a burglar." The smile left Shorty's face at this startling piece of information, but he recovered himself at once. One of the boy's hands was thrust in the front of his sailor blouse, and Shorty noticed this. "Get anything?" he asked. The boy looked a little doubtful. "Yep," he answered, but his hand remained where it was. "That's good," said Shorty. "I used to play burglar myself when I was about your size. Good fun, but we never had much worth takin' where I lived." "We got lots of things at our house," said the boy, "an' they're worth a lot too. I guess some of 'em's worth as much as a dollar." "Maybe," said Shorty doubtfully, "but you can't always tell." Well, I guess what I got now's worth it," said the boy, his pride aroused. "Let's see," said Shorty carelessly. "Sometimes things look mighty pretty that ain't worth much after all." The boy hesitated. Something warned him to be careful, but the desire to prove his assertion was too strong. He drew a small morocco case from his blouse and opened it. There! he exclaimed triumphantly. The sunlight fell upon something that glittered brightly, and Shorty realized that he was looking at a cluster of jewels of great value. His first impulse was to seize them The boy gulped and nodded his head quickly. All he wanted was to get home; but, young as he was, he realized that he had done something very wicked. Shorty smiled at the forlorn, frightened little figure. Then his face grew red, and, bending over, he hurriedly kissed the boy's curly head. "Gift," he commanded, "an' don't you stop runnin' till you're inside that door." The boy brushed the tears from his face and started. "Hang them kills!" said Shorty. "That's the second time they done me out of a good thing; but I'll bet that one don't play burglary any more." With a pleasant, respectable feeling under his coat he watched the boy mount the steps of the brownstone house. Then he turned away and resumed his walk upown.

Do you understand, an' will you promise?" The boy gulped and nodded his head quickly. All he wanted was to get home; but, young as he was, he realized that he had done something very wicked. Shorty smiled at the forlorn, frightened little figure. Then his face grew red, and, bending over, he hurriedly kissed the boy's curly head. "Gilt," he commanded, "an' don't you stop runnin' till you're inside that door." The boy brushed the tears from his face and started. "Hang them kills!" said Shorty. "That's the second time they done me out of a good thing; but I'll bet that one don't play burglary any more."

Home Sanitation One of the first things for us investigate in ordering our house the condition of the soil abode place. If it is damp and sour fit for vegetation, it may not be "Well, I guess what I got now's worth it," said the boy, his pride aroused. "Let's see," said Shorty carelessly. "Sometimes things look mighty pretty that ain't worth much after all." The boy hesitated. Something warned him to be careful, but the desire to prove his assertion was too strong. He drew a small morocco case from his blouse and opened it. "There!" he exclaimed triumphantly. The sunlight fell upon something that glittered brightly, and Shorty realized that he was looking at a cluster of jewels of great value. His first impulse was to seize them and run, but he checked himself. The risk was too great. The boy would cry out, and pursuit was certain. He must use strategy. "Pretty, ain't it?" he said calmly. "Shouldn't wonder if they were the real thing." An idea flashed into his ready brain. "By the way," he resumed, "did you ever hear that goldfish was crazy about diamonds?" "No," said the boy wonderingly. "Well, they are. I've tried it my self. You just hold a thing like that over the water. an' they come right up an' make eyes at it. Want to try? pointing to the fountain across the park. The boy could not resist. Such an experience was too novel to be lost. He nodded his head. "Well, tuck it away," said Shorty "an' come on." No one was in the immediate vicinity of the fountain, and the opportunity of escape was better there. Shorty held out his hand, and the boy took it confidingly. He was very young and had never been imposed upon before. Shorty knew that there was great risk of being seen from the house, but should any one appear he had decided to take the case from the boy and make a run for it. He was all professional now. Once on the other side of the square and he would be safe. "We must be sure not to let the fishes get it," said the boy, "'cause my mother thinks a lot of it." "I'll see that the fishes don't get it all right," replied Shorty. "You see," the boy went on, "my father gave it to her just before he went away. My mother says we won't never see him again. It makes her cry to talk about him, an' she says I must be a good man like he was an' take care of her now." Shorty began to feel uncomfortable. He was sorry the boy had told him firm at Rocky Hill Station, Ky., writes: "We were requested by Dr. G. B. Snigley to send for Herbine for the benefit of our customers. We ordered three dozen in December, and we are glad to say, Herbine has given such great satisfaction that we have duplicated this order three times, and today we gave your salesman another order.

A Worm Killer J. A. J. Montgomery, Puxico, Wayne Co., Mo., writes: "I have little twin girls, who have been bothered with worms all their lives. I tried everything to relieve them which failed until I used White's Cream Vermilge; the first two doses brought four worms from one of them the next two doses, twelve, one of them measuring twelve inches; the other child was only relieved of four worms.

Should judge the yield at about thousand boxes, of which only half will be available for shipment to the United States; the rest will be disposed of in Euro markets.

Hungary the following report made on the net yield by Consul D. Chester: As a year a good home crop of walnuts expected in Hungary, as there been no damage caused by the cuts up to date. The home crop amounts to 150 to 220 carloads 100 kilos, say ten tons each. Pay are usually cash against bill of delivery takes place as deferred by seller from the place of school bonds Invalid Bonds voted in the school districts of Delhi, Randolph and Pacific City for the purpose of erecting schoolhouses in those districts have been found to be invalid, owing to the fact that the notices of the call for holding the elections were not published a sufficient length of time before holding the elections. The elections were held in June, but the flaw in the proceedings was not discovered until the matter came before the supervisors some days ago for their order to advertise the bonds for sale. The defect will necessitate the holding of another election in each case. Notices for such elections will at once be published. The Death Penalty A little thing sometimes results in death.

Sketch of toe industries and Resources on this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to children’s kid-button shoes, sizes 3 to 5s, 25c to 35c values, only.

In gathering we use a three barrel galvanized tank with strainer in the top and strain the sap again when we draw it into the vat and again as we draw it into the heater. From there it is conveyed through a pipe to the front pan, and from there it flows through the several pans to the back end of the arch where we sirup it off. When our sachrometer denotes 28 degrees, we draw off the sirup, straining carefully, and let it stand in a can for twenty-four hours at least to settle and then pour it off and put it back into the back pan on the evaporator. Cook it down to 32 degrees and can while hot. This way saves all of the work of canning at the house. By using a flannel to strain sirup through all sediment and silica are removed, and a sirup good enough for the president is left. We have a bush of over 1,000 trees, and we commence to gather the sap as soon as the buckets are one-third full, as it is necessary to boil the sap as soon as possible after it leaves the tree—Cor Ohio Farmer. Forage Around Alkalil Flats. The alkalil flats of central Montana though often occurring in the Bad Lands are commonly found in the open country. They are places where alkali water collects and evaporates. Portions of the great sag south of Benton are 200 feet below the surrounding country. It contains six large lakes and several small ones. The larger ones are surrounded by bare alkalikated flats. White dry patches are to be found in little sags quite generally over the country. As we recede from the barren patch we first find salt grass and then by degrees June grass and smooth bunch grass. Depending upon conditions, we may also find rough leaved salt grass, alkalk meadow grass and squirreltail grass. In the non alkaline soil on the edge of alkalic places blue joint and blue grama are apt to be found, but these grasses can withstand that small quantities of alkalik- WOMEN'S WEAR Special—Fine white and colored shirt waists, excellent quality; a little out of style.

REINHAUS THE CAMEL'S HEAD. "Where the camel's head goes his body follows," says an Oriental proverb. It's the same way with disease. A small opening will give it an entrance and when disease once has a place in the body a large number of lilies may follow it. The opening for disease is often found in a "weak" stomach. When the stomach is "weak" the body also becomes weakened by lack of nutrition, and disease attacks the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the weak stomach strong. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and so enables the body to resist or throw off other diseases. Men and women who are sick are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free, and so obtain without charge the opinion of a specialist on their ailments. All correspondence strictly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. "For the past two years, I have been a very sick woman," writes Mrs. Chesley, of 108 Woodland Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. "I tried medicines from doctors and no avail. At last I decided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When I started I was all run-down and had a very unpleasant taste in my mouth. Was choked up, and if times was very hard for me to breathe, I had severe headaches and cutting pains in my knee joint. Was so weak I could not attend to my work nor walk up or down stairs without the assistance of my brother or some friend. I am now taking the fourth bottle, and am happy to say I feel like myself again. I can go up and down stairs and perform my duties as well as any one. Everything seems to be brighter, and I can assure you that life is worth living." Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." There is nothing just as good for dyspecla or debility. Billiousness is cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties No. Farms Acres Los Angeles 6577 895,923 Orange 2388 599,436 Riverside 2340 427,007 San Bernardino 2350 219,182 Dan Diego 2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times yet it irrigates 25,000 acres; the county on the south-cent is the former's irrigation as compared with that of almost the irrigated area Diego and Riverside comb. Orange county possesses system of irrigation, the most water rights, that exist in California. That is what said many a time and o figures prove it. It is the best and most productive city lies outdoors and is settling than any other in the Starkville.

Los Angeles...85,644 Orange...41,549 Riverside...32,947 San Bernardino...37,877 San Diego...16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster. THE SANDERS-ARNOTT DISC PLOW.
