This Encouraging Report Is Made at Horticultural Meeting. FULL CROP OF CHERRIES. ALTHOUGH FROST INJURED BUDS THERE IS LITTLE FEAR FOR FULL CROP TIME OF SPRAYING CONTINUED. Horticulturists of the county reportd at the meeting of the Horticultural Society Saturday afternoon, that about twenty per cent, of the buds on the cherry trees have been killed. Although this represents one fifth of the apparent production, no fear is expressed for any but a full crop. There was overblossoniing of the trees this year and a consequent lack of vitality to mature all fruit. Enough is expected to remain uninjured to equal the capacity of the trees when the time to ripen comes. No Berious damage to fruits of any kind was reported. Too much rain mas reported as havlne; retarded farm work and farmers and gardeners are at least ten days behind in their work for the seafion of the year. Some wheat was reported to have turned yellow from the effects of the continued rains and hail. The jreneral topic for discussion hy the society members yesterday afternoon was "fruit tree spraying." It was Bought to ascertain by discussion the moat advisable time to apply the applications of poisonous solutions to fruit trees, vines and bushes. It was agreed that immediately after the fall of the blossoms, the bordeaux solution with arsenic added, is the most advisable. This is to be followed by a second spraying in ten days and a third about the first of June. This solution will destroy the attack of the coddling moth, curculio, scales, rusts and Injurious insects and diseases that hamper the production of good fruits. As the preparation of solutions is attended with some trouble and.' difficulty, an arrangement was made for the preparations that will be used by the members immediately. The next meeting of the society will te the "strawberry meeting". It will be held at the home of Frank Clark, 321 North Eleventh street. Mrs. Mattie King will read an essay. There are indications for plenty of berries and no chance of any cause for a failure of the supply of this fruit. NOTICE.

May 190S, at 7:30 p. m. for the purpose of electing directors to serve the ensuing year, and the transaction of any tther business that may properly come before the meeting. K. G. HIBBERD, Secy. dly7-S-9-ll-12 BREAKING IN NEW MEN. On Corporation Publishes a Text Book For New Employees. A large corporation has lately shown Its appreciation of the value of giving new employees a thorough genera) knowledge of the business by publishing a book describing iu an Interesting fashion all the details of the company's work. It is a volume of over 200 pages, illustrated with facsimile cuts of various reports and other forms used.

"When a tuna enters our employ he Is told to read this manual and do nothing else until he has thoroughly mastered It This gives him a general knowledge of the business, and if there are any points he does not understand ' they are cleared up before he begins work." System. AN ANECDOTE OF KEAN. How One Aetress Won and Another Lost His Good Opinion. Kean possessed an inordinate love of praise even from his humblest worshipers, says the London Tatier. During his brilliant management of tho Trlncess theater one of the ballet girls who sometimes was given a few line to speak and who knew her manager's failing used to haunt the wings and go into audible raptures over the tragedian's acting. He was playing with great success a rathetlc part, and tears flowed down the cheeks of the cunning girl, who eventually attracted personal notice from the actor. Soon she found herself promoted to a superior position. Her advancement of course was noticed by her companions, and to her greatest friend among them she told her secret, advising the girl to follow her example. Nothing loath. No. 2 appeared at the wing and almost howled with grief through Kean's chief scenes, when, to her amazement, he strode angrily by her: then, pointing her out, exclaimed, "Who is that Idiot?" She did not improve her position, for since the advice of her knowing friend the bill had teen changed, and her man ager was appearing in one of his most successful comic parts.

Horton Could Not Countenance Divorced Wife's Acts.

Sioux City, la., May 11. Seeing his baby girl for the first time in weeks playing on the steps of his divorced wife's home. Frank L. Horton walked into the forbidden yard. Just as he was about to embrace and kiss the child his former wife ran out and I grabbed the baby away from him. i Horton covered his eyes with his ; hands in dazed manner, then running! . . ,, . , out into the street he pulled a caliher revolver and shot himself through the brain, dying Instantly. THE COCOA TREE. This Evergraan Is Found Everywhere In the Tropioe. The cocoa tree is an evergreen and grows to a height of from fifteen to twenty-five feet, its leaves being bright and smooth, somewhat resembling; the foliage of a rubber plant. It Is very low brandling, and the biosBoms are small and pink. The blossoms and pods not only spring from the branches, but often from the trunk itself. The fruit is a yellowish pod about the size of a cucumber and is filled with seeds, all strong together In a pulpy, pinkish mass. It is from these seeds or beans, each about the size of a chestnut, that the chocolate and coa of commerce are manufactured. The trees bear from the fourth to the thirtieth year, and. it Is not unusual to see on the same tree buds, flowers and fruit. When ripe the pods are gathered by the native women and are allowed to lie on the g-rouad for a day or two, after -which they are opened. The pulp containing the beans then ferments for about a week, the astringent qualities of the beans being much modified and their flavor improved. After being thoroughly dried the beans are packed in hundred pound bags for shipment. When received by the manufacturer they are carefully picked over for quality, assorted and roasted. The nibs, as the roasted beans with the sheila removed are called, are then fed into a hopper and ground between stones similar to an old fashioned flour mill. The grinding process, coupled with the friction of the stone, which produce a temperature of some 120 degrees, changes the solid nibs (without the addition of anything) into a thick, heavy liquid. This is technically termed "chocolate liquor" and is sold to confectioners. This same liquor, subjected to hydraulic pressure, with the resulting separation Into a clear oil, gives the cocoa butter of commerce. The remaining pressate when powdered forms drinking cocoa. The chocolate liquor solidified becomes cooking chocolate, and, with sugar, vanilla and spices added. It is sold as "sweet" or "eating" chocolate. BEATING THE LAW. Sunday Travelers and Inns nd Tavrns In Scotland. There is a law in Scotland generous to travelers. That law grant9 them the privilege of all taverns and inns during prohibition hours. Thus if yon arrive in Edinburgh on a Sunday, having traveled, say, from Glasgow, your innkeeper is bound to serve you with any sort of alcoholic refreshment, albeit the native of Auld Reekie must fret and starve his Sawbath away on ginger ale, memories and the auroral promise of tomorrow. But the law is merciful. He that hath journeyed three miles Is a traveler within the meaning of the act. Consequently there is a vast array of travelers leaving Edinburgh on foot, on coaches, pony carriages, etc., for the trains run not. They all seek to constitute themselves as travelers. Just within the three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh Is concerned, lies the historic village of Corstorphine. A traveler arrives from Edinburgh. He knocks at the door of the village Inn. lie is wearied by his long walk. He Is in sore straits. The door is opened timidly, cautiously, and a voice is heard, "Who is it?" - traveler," is the weary answer. "Whaur do ye come from?" "I come from Edinburgh," is the a 6wer. "Then ye canna come in. It's against the law." The door is banged ruthlessly. The traveler thinks awhile. Tour Scotsman thinks slowly, but very surely. After deliberation he knocks again. The formula is gone through. "Whaur do ye come" "Frae Leith," answers the traveler quickly. "Then ye may come in. Why did ye nae tell the truth at first?" Dixie's Land. The phrase "Dixie" or "Dixie's Land" is supposed to be derived from one Dixy, a kind hearted slave owner on Manhattan Island in the latter part of the eighteenth century. His treatment of his negroes caused them to regard his plantation ("Dixy's") as little short of an earthly paradise, and when any of the slaves were taken away from their old home they were always pining for "Dixy's" and singing and talking of its Joys. When slavery moved southward, the same ideal of "Dixy's" was taken along, and in the course of time, its origin being forgotten, it was applied to the southern homes of the negroes. New York American. Lighting Up. "Ever notice," asked a salesman for a grocery house that makes a business of supplying the big New York boteisr "that if you stroll uptown and look at any of the big hotels yon will see them all pretty well lighted up? Plenty cf rooms occupied apparently. Well, that's sometimes a bluff. The help has orders to light up a number of tbs front rooms every evening just so that the hotel won't look like a graveyard."
