He was gone for several hoars. The
Judge scanned hUn closly whea he

"Something to say to yon. Joha." he
observed in a confidential way. "My
poor girl. Ivy "
"Why. what about her?" Inquired
Johi. wonderlngly
"I see she Is mourning for fear you
may desert her. Why don't you tpeak
out and get the engagement ring at

"You think she would have me?"
asked John with a peculiar expres-
sion in his eye
"I do." assured the lawyer
"Perhaps not when I ell you what
I have done." spoke John cooll ' I've
be- to see the executor of my uncle's
estate Why. his son left a widow
with three little children unprovided

"What's that to us" demanded the
Judge
"Kverj thing to me It Beems that
my cousin Randal was estranged from
his father through a mistake. I have
lrarnd that on bis death bed my uncle
wished to change bis will for he had
learned of tbe wrong be had done bis

"Well he didn't change It" re-
marked 'be Judge.
"No but I have. Vou think I'd rob
those dear little children of their
rights' No sir' I've seen thvm I've
made over all my claim to tbe es-

"Hah'" shouted the Infuriated Judge
and strode from tbe room baSled Miss

temptuous sneer an hour later
John did the right thing He has-
tened back to Vera and told bf every-
thing. She called him a noble man
for his great unselfish sacrifice and
blushlngly but gladly ald "Ves" to a
certain very imperative question.

The First Tumbler
The glasses we now know as tum-
blers differ widely from tbo drinking
vessel to which tho name was first ap-
plied These appear to have been of
metal or wood and from their peculiar
shape seem to have served os. per-
petual reminders to pass tho bottle.
Ono authority says they were called
"tumblers" becauso they could not bo
set down except on the side when
empty and at.'jther derive their namu
from th'T original shape rounded at
Ibn b '"m so tuat they tumbled over
unless they were carefully set down.

fruit tres such as apple cherry
plum and peach but the largest
number of the "flies" sojght hiberna
:lon in the rough bark of pear trees
During the spring as a result ol
constantly increasing temperaturei
and the dally effectiveness of sun
light a few hours of time proved
sufSclent to induce great activity
among tbe adul's. It was not uncom
mon to see them fly or Jump directly
after emergence from their winter
retreats.
If moderate temperatures prevailed
ggs were largely deposited within a
few days after tho emergence of the
hibernating adults In tho spring.
Ovlpositlon continued for several
weeks especially If the weather was
variable but usually most of the eggs
were deposited before the last of
April. Some ova were laid on foliage
but It appared that these normally
tre comparatively few in numbers
md result In llttlo or no serious In-
festation of tho foliage.
The practice of clean culture and
tho removal and destruction of the
rough bark left tho flies with few
opportunities of escape from applica-
tions of contact mixtures Miscible
dIIs. nicotine preparations and soapy
solutions were effective sprays against
the psylla adults Homemade oil
emulsions were less satisfactory
which may have been owing to vary-
ing percentages of oil In the mixtures
caused by imperfectly prepared t-mul-lions
RASPBERRY iS MOST POPULAR
One of Best Known Brambles and
Belongs to Family Consisting of
Many Hundred Species.
The raspberry Is one of the best
known small fruits. In Its wild state
It bas been used as food since the be-
Sinking of history This fruit be-
loigs to tliri family of brambles con-
' listing of many hundred species.
! Tho raspberP.es of commerce are
mostly Included in three species dl-
i vlded into two quite distinct types
the reds and blacks. The Kuropean
red raspberry Ilubus Idaeus Is little
grown In tbls country The fruit Is
similar to the American red rasp-
I berry In appearance but while of bet-
i ter quality the plants are lesa hardy
i The early attempts at red raspberry
culture In this country wero largely
-onflned to the development of this
(pedes but theso have never suceed-
k1 here In the West because It Is not
idapted to our climatic conditions The
American red raspberry Ilubus strlgo-
ius Is of comparatively recent domes-
tication. In the wild stato It Is found
tnoro or less over tho northern and
saltern United States.
