In reality, d< ing the dime novel an Injustice. In monetary If not In literary value. For the old ten-cent thrillers which were devoured, swapped ahd secreted by'the boys of 40 years ago and which were then considered the source of all juvenile crinio have In late years become eminently respectable and extremely valuable possessions to have. Remember the t days when you spent your whole v. ;ili< v, :,. e,for a copy of “Deadly Eye”; or “Tpe Prairie [Rover.” by Buffalo 818 (William F.l Cody); of “Arkaisaw, the Man With the Kijiife"; or "The Queen of Fate’s Revenge.” by T. C. Harbaiigh, to be read surreptitiously behind ydur “joggerfy book” at school or Ip the home when you were certain that dad would not appear unexpectedly? After yoa had read this treasure to the-last hair-raising page, perhaps you traded It off to'a crony for his copy of ' Arizona Joe, the Bov Pard of Texas Jack” or “California Joe; or. The Angel of the Wilderness: A Story of the War in Virginia.” For all of I • . re’titles hi Beadle's Dime library or B>«ndle's Hqlf Dime library. pobUsbed by those emliiant Instructors of American youth in the ways wild and woolly West—Beadle and Adrjtis of Newi Y<»rk.

At least. If the prices paid for Dr. Frank P. O'Brien’s library of dime novels In New York only a few years ago Is any criterion., you could. Hir collection of «U 0 volumes of thrillers, which represented 20 years of searching through 30 states tn order to secure these rapidly disappearing little books and pamphlets relating to pioneer American life, were auctioned off for a tptal of $3,198.20. Individual volumes brought various prices but the top price w-ua ,31.025 for 28 volumes of Beadle 4 Co.'a weekly magazine, the Saturday Star Journal. It Is not likely that another such collection will ever again appear in the auction rooms but from time to time individual volumes b<b up somewhere and they ate quickly snapped up by collectors who know their value. Other ech »ejt of the jrdd dime novel days are heard occasionally to recall to the boys of yesterday the favbrlte literature of their youth. One of them wa<| heard a year or sO ago when press dispatches carried the news that T. C. Harbaugh had sold oft] bis meager possessions and entered an Ohio poOrhouse. there to s|>end hla declining years. This] T. C. Harbaugh was one of the most prolific of Beadle’s dime novelists and between ISt® and jsty" he wrote nearly a thousand volumes of this type of fiction, or more than 5.000.000 word* of thrills, of which It was once said, “There are ten th<wjsand shudders In writings, but not one blush." , Harbaugh was paid 3250 each for the dime novels and 3150 for the halt-dime novela, and he made a fortune at the Worley only to end “his days in poverty. Other echoes were heard In tnore recent press dispatch*- when the original ■‘Deadwood Dick." whose real name la Richard Clark and who Ilves near Whitewood. S. D.. was quoted as protesting against tbei news that he waa dead, as it had been reported from California, and when, from Norfolk. Neb., came the news that the' original “Diamond Dick" was still living there. He’s not known as Diamond Dick, howeyer, by the people of Norfolk, but as Dr. Richard J. 'Panner, one of the foremost physicians in the bounty. Although neither iMdwood Dick, nor Diamond Dick, had one-tenth of the thrilling adventures credited to them in trfe dime novels, both have lived sufficiently interesting lives and had more than their share of narrow escapes from ideath. Deadwood Dick was a miner and stage driver In the Black Hills of 50 years ago. Diamond Dick also had a varied carver in that country in the old Indianfighting dajrs but he was best known for his later career as [a fancy rifle and pistol shot with a circus until he gave this np to study medicine. In fact, h great many of the <Btne novel heroes were real persons and in some cases the events narrated lt| the books were autobiographical. since the authors themselves had Heed on the frontier and had their share of thrilling experiences. Certainly Buffalo Bill (Col W. E. Cody). who was both a dithe novel hero and author, was a real person, as will testify. Otlier heroes who are not so well known were California Joe, Texas ■ l ' I ' '

Jack, Arizona Joe, “The Evil Spirit of the Plains." Rovirtg Joe. Buckskin Sam. E'uncy Frank, the Iron Facte; Old Grizzly, the Bear Tamer; Bruin Adams, Captain Jack, the Poet Scout, and Ned Buntltne. California Joe is often referred to as a num. “the riddle of whose identity.. like that of the man in the iron mask, is still unsolved.” As a matter of fact. It was solved long ago and whatever mystery there was about it arose from a confusion of two men—a member of Berdan’s Sharpshooters in the Civil war. who bore the name of California Joe, and Joseph E. Milner, the real California Joe, who was a native of Kentucky, a scout for Generals Sheridan and Custer during the plains Indian wars after the Civil war and a miner in the Black hills where he was assassinated in 1876. Texas Jack’s real name was J. B. Omohundro, a Virginian who emigrated to Texas at an early age where he distinguished himself by extinguishing several bad men who made the mistake of thinking that this quiet young fellow wouldn’t fighi, He served in the Confederate army during the Civil war and was a guide, rancher, mustangbreaker, hunter,scout ahd Indian fighter afterwards. He and Buffalo Bill were the guides for the earl of Dunraven when that adventure-seeking Englishman penetrated the Yellowstone country t!seventies and the earl speaks highly of the character and ability of both men. Texas Jack is said to have died in Leadville, Colo., in 1880. Wild BUI i» also a historic character, ns any number of authoritative works will testify. His real name was James Butler Hickok and he was born in Illinois in 1837. He was a scout for the Union forces in the Clyil war, an overland stage driver and a scout tor Custer in the Indian wars but be won his greatest fame as marshal of Hays City. Kuns., and Abilene in the days when they were typical of the wide-open and roaring frontier town. Like his friend. California Joe, Wild Bill was also assassinated, shot down from behind, In the Black hills, in 1876. Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill and Texas Jack are the triumvirate of heroes in Col. Prentiss Ingraham's * “The League of Three; or, Buffalo Bill’s Pledge," which gives an • interesting and accurate picture of the city of Omaha as It was in the sixties. Colonel Ingraham was also the biographer of Bruin Adams, who was the nephew and biographer of the famous “Old Grizzly” Adams. James Capon’* Adams ("Old Grizzly”) was one of the most remarkable characters in the history of the West. He was born in New York but went West at an early day. Os him Doctor O’Brien has said. "In future milleniums the quaint figure who went about the country riding an enormous grizzly bear, with a second similar beast for a bodyguard, will probably become a legend and finally a myth." But be was a real person, all right, even though It is difficult to pick out the truth from the fiction in the accounts of his life as written by Fancy Frank, the Iron Face (Dr. D. Frank Powell, who was alto known as “White Beaver” and who was associated with Buffalo Bill at one time) and his nephew. Bruin Adams, who joined him in the Rockies at an early age. Arizona Joe’s real name was Capt Joe Bruce, and Captain Jack tbe Poet JScouL was John Wallace (.Yawford, who fought In the Civil war as a l»oy and later became noted \as a scout tn tbe Sioux Indian wars, a miner In the Black hills and a friend of Wild Bill.

THE SYRACUSE .IQFRNAL

■ Roving Joe was Joseph E. Badger, Jr., and his biography, nithough w'rltten as a dime novel: by i A. H. Post, under the title of FRoving Joe: The History of a Young Border Ruffian," is in the main an accurate historical record of Badger’s career as a hunter, trapper. Indian fighter sind miner In the Pikes Peak gold regions. Buckskin Sam was Maj. Sam S. Hall, author of “Kit Carson, p, Junior, the Crack Shot of the West” which was a narrative of events in 1860 which came under his personal observation. His recital of the canquiign of a party of Texas rangers in pursuit of Cortina, the Mexican outlaw, has been called ’’a real contribution to American history.’' “The Evil Spirit of the Plains” was Dr. William Frank Carver, noted as a crack shot, a scout, hunter and a companion of Buffalo Bill. Most Interesting of all. perhaps, is Ned Buntline tCol. E. Z. C. Judson), because he has sbm* ' claim to being the author of- the first true dime novel. Jvdson. when only s|xteen years of age, wrote his first story which appeared in the Knickerbocker Magazine in 1838. In 1848 he became editor of a magazine called “Ned Runt- I line’s Own Weekly.” He was arrested for inciting the Astor Place riots in his magazine, fired $250 s and spentto year in prison. Upon bis release from prison in 1850 he began writing mote voluminously than ever before. In 1860 he visifed Jim Bridger, the famous mountain man and guide, on Bridger’s farm at Westport, Mo. Bridger liked Judson and took llm on a trip to the plains with him. In return Judson made Bridger the hero of a series of his dime novels which brought even greater fame to this remarkable character. From’that time on Judson continued as a writer of dime novels and was soon making $20.0p0 a year with such thrillers as “The Red Right Hand,” Comanche’s Dream." “Life on the Prairies." “Wild Bill’s Last Fight.” and various other narratives of the deeds of Buffalo Bill, Wrestling Joe, Mountain Tom. Big Foot Wallace, and Rattlesnake Ned. Buntline’s great fame, however, came from his ventures in the theatrical world when he transferred the dime novel idea to the stage and brought before the American public the wild West In the form of Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack, and Wild Bill. Although Ned Buntline may be credited with starting the dime novel. It was Erastus Beadle who made them most famous and made the name “Beadle’s Dime Novel" a universally known trademark. Beadle may have got the idea from Buntline or have seen the possibilities of giving readers a new type of fiction ■ upon some of the stirring scenes he witnessed during a trip from Buffalo, Ji. ¥., to some of his pre-empted lands in Omaha, Neb., tn 1887. At any rate, the firm of Beadle and Adams began issuing the dime novels in 1859. But Jt was not until the following year, i when their noeel “Mnlaeska; or. The Indian Wife of the White Hunt«" by Mrs. Anna K Stevens, was such an enormous success, that they began production on a big? scale. Some of their novels bore the imprint of "Frank Starr & Co., 41 >, Platt Street. N. Y." Starr was a foreman in Beadle’s printing shop and the address of the Starr company was the rear entrance of the Beadle establishment Beadle and Adams ceased Issuing their dime novels in 1897, the last one being Colonel : Ingraham’s “Buffalo Bill’s Tough Tussle; or. The Buckskin Boss Boy.” , J

& Ww PEAR BLIGHT IS EASY TO CONTROL Cutting out and destroying in winter, the twigs and limbs of pear trees killed by blight during the growing season will control the destructive “fire blight" and eliminate the source of infection for the following year. “Pear blight is produced by a bacterial genu,” says G. W. Fant, extension plant disease specialist at the North Carolina state college. “This disease causes much concern to growers during the growing season, although it is during the winter months only that effective control measures can be put into practice. The disease is characterized by a death of the blossoms, young twigs and, later, the larger limbs, giving twigs of affected trees the appearance of having been scorched by fire. No method of control by spraying has yet been found due to the manner in which the disease works beneath the surface of the s hark.” Twigs affected with fire blight can be distinguished in winter by the adhering dead leaves, |and Mr. Fant states that it is a good practice to go over ail affected trees during the dormant season and cut out, as far as possible, all blighted twigs. The cuts, he explains, must be made several Inches below the lower limit of the canker in order to cut out all diseased wood. It is advisable also to disinfect the pruning implement after making each cut by dipping the implement into a solution of bichloride of mercury prepared in the proportion of one part of the material to 1,000 parts of water. This solution should be prepared in an earthen or wooden vessel. Pruning can be accomplished , more easily if two sets of tools are used, keeping one set in the solution while the other is used for cutting. Pruning during the summer months has little value, states Mr. Fant. Fire blight is not confined entirely to pears, although it is most prevalent on this tree. Apple trees are sometimes severely injured, however. Prune All Fruit Trees • During Dormant Season It is best to prune fruit trees during the dormant season any time after the leaves have fallen. Pruning done then has an invigorating effect on the trees, whereas an equal amount of pruning done in the summer weakens them, because it deprives the trees of foliage before that foliage has an Opportunity to contribute to the fruit growth of the tree, according to Prof. Joseph Oskamp at the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaqt, N. Y. (II effects from pruning when the w<f>d is frozen are usvally considered unimportant becausi the Vobd is seldom injured from it. The way the cut is made has a direct bearing on the healing of the wound. If a stub is left, decay is likely to start before the wound heals, so branches should be cut flush. Small wounds need no protection, but large ones , should be painted with a thick white lead and oil paint. Here, too, the winter is most desirable, because during the summer, the caustic action of the paint may hinder the healing of the wound. Many different kinds of tools are available for pruning, nut the most satisfactory work is done with those that are strong and sharp, regardless of the kind. Prevent Orchard Damage From Mice Gnawing Bark Where the orchard has a heavy growth of grass or some crop around the trees, there is likely to be much damage during the winter from mice gnawing the bark. The first thing to do to prevent such damage is to clear away all the grass and rubbish from around the trunk of the tree. Some orchardists put a few shovelfuls of clean cinders tn a circte of a foot or more around the base or the tree. Another method of keeping down the mice in the orchard is the maintenance of poison stations which are kept baited throughout the year, and which are examined frequently. The following special method of preparing bait for these orchard pests Is suggested. Mix dry one-eighth of an ounce of powdered strychnine, oneeighth of an ounce of baking soda. Sift this mixture over one quart of rolled nats. heat oats in an oven until thoroughly warm, and pour over it six tablespoonfuls of a mixture of three parts melted beef fat and one part melted paraffin. When this mixture cools it is ready for use. If rabbits cause much damage enclose lower part of the trunk with a piece of wire screen or wood veneer. Fruit Testing Association The New York Fruit Testing association has just held its annual meeting at the New York state experiment station at Geneva. The association was formed to test out under a wide range fit soil and climatic conditions the new varieties of fruit originated by the fruit breeders at the state experiment station and believed by them to be worthy of further test by fruit grower?. A new and promising fruit may not be a profitable fruit just because it Is new. Thousand Barrels Daily A thousand barrels of apples picked In one day was the record made In the orchards of S. B. Chute, Berwick, N. S., recently. Fifty men were enin the work.

“I Speak From Experience” Says Oscar Hurst of Princeton Well known drug clerk weak and rundown by indigestion, now hail and hearty again. Gains 23 pounds and enjoys old time vigorous life. Uses and recommends Tanlac

Mr. Hurst is a drug clerk and lives at the Pullman Hotel, Princeton, Ind- His everydav duties bring him in contact with all kinds of people and all kinds of medicine. Hereishia own story of what Tanlac has done for him: “What I went through for years,” he said, ‘T never want to endure again. My stomach seemed to go back on me altogether. First, I had indigestion, sour stomach and bad taste in my mouth. Then came attacks of heartburn and dizzy spells. I practically quit eating, for the slightest morsel of food caused palpitation' of the heart and difficult breathing. “My weight dropped from 136 lbs. to 113 lbs., was weak, listless and discouraged. I became cranky and irritable; my nerves were jumpy and I had spells of depression. I began to give up hope of ever being well again. “I tried all kinds of remedies without success. Even Tanlac at first didn’t seem to help much. But after the third bottle I noticed a marked improvement. All the distressing conditions graduaUy disappeared ana I began to recover my lost weight. Now I’m 136 lbs. and work hard every day, and feel tip-top m every way. I’m a new man. What I’m telling you about Tanlac is no hearsay:

DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE ASS OF 83

To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, HL. a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oiis.> While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even for those chronically constipated.
