1 A Misunderstanding.
“Thi late Dudley Buck,” said a
Brooklyn musician, “taught music as
well as he rendered and composed it.
“He had an odd, vivid way of driv-
ing home a lesson with a story. Thus,
in a smyphony I hod written, he ob-
jected to a picolo solo. It was as
ludicrously out of place, he said—it
destroyed the effect as completely—
as the interruption at a street meet-
ing.
“He said there was a corner meet-
ing in Brooklyn one night, and on his
way home from choir practice at Holy
Trinity he stopped and listened to the
speaker.
“There 11 be a grand clearin’ out on
the last day,” the speaker cried. We’ll
all be divided off then—the £heep on
one side and the goats on the other.”
“He paused. Then he went on im-
pressively.
“Now, who’s goin’ to be the sheep
and who’s goin’ to be the goats?’
“There was a silence. He glared at
his little audience and repeated:
‘“Who’s goin' to be the sheep and
who's goin’ to be the goats?'
“Another pause, another silence, and
in a louder and more vibrant voice
he shouted:
“ ‘Again, and for the last time, I ask
you. Who’s goin’ to be the sheep and
(who’s goin’ to be the goats?’
“A man stepped forward impatient-
ly-
'“Well,’’ he said, Til be the goats.

NEWS OF DEATH.
Of Judge Green in Levingston

The sad news of the death of Coun-
ty Judge A. B. Green of Levingston

Saturday and J. R. Turnbull, son-in-

the purpose of establishing a uniform
rate for fire insurance for the city,
effective January 1st, when the new
law with reference to fire insurance,
passed at our last legislature, will go
into effect.
Local insurance men are in the
dark as to just what their rates will
be under the new arrangements, al-
though they do know that rates charg
ed by one will be charged by all, as
failure to do so means a charge of
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of
not more than $100, or 90 days in
prison, or the infliction of the pun-
ishment of both fine an<j imprison-
ment.

Japanese Sensitiveness.
Sensitiveness exists in the Japanese
to an,((extent never supposed by the
reigraers who treat them harshly at
the open ports. In Izunto I knew a
case of a maid servant who received
a slight rebuke with a smile, and then
quietly went out and hung herself. 1
have notes of many curious suicides of
a similar sort. And yet the Japanese
master is never brutal or cruel. How
Japanese can serve a certain class of
foreigners at all, I can’t understand.
Possibly they do not think of them
(the foreigners) as being exactly
human beings—but rather Oni, or at-t
best Tengu.
Well, here is another thing. My
cook wears a smiling, healthy, rather
pleasant face. He is a good looking
young man. Whenever l used to

smile, I saw a mask before me merry

Macon, Ga., Dec. 20.—Practically a
uniform fight, with all interests work
ing together, against .the illegal sale
of intoxicants in Macon, is to be made
at least for awhile. The peopje who
operate sof% drink places and dispen-
sate light beers have been called upon
by Mayor John Moore and promised
their support in rooting out the “ti-
ger.”
“We want a calm, steady fight to bo
made that will prove effective,” they
have declared. "Our business,, to be
conducted in a strictly legitimate way
and run within reasonable bounds,
cannot prove the great destructive
force in the community that the “tiger
must be.”
Mayor Moore, before election, told
the beer saloon operators that they
need not expect leniency from him if
they set in to violate the law, and
since, in two o three cases, he has
had opportunity to verify this asser-
tion.
But few of the saloon people are
hostile and arbitrary with the admin-
istration. So high is their regard for
the new city government, even the
worst person would go very slowly
in making trobble A rather
situation has developed with

Washington, Dec. 21.—The oft-dis-
cussed proposal to change the date of
inauguration of the president of the
United States from March 4 to a later
date and one more liable to produce
suitable weather for the proper ob-
servance of such an event was be-
fore the House Committee on elect-
ions. It was presented in the shape
of a constitutional amendment offered
by Mr. Gaines, of West Virginia, at
the special session.
The last Thursday in April is pro-
posed in place of March 4. It is espe-
cially provided that the sixty-second
or next Congress, and the terms of
office of the present president and
vice-president shall continue until the
last Thursday in April, 1913, in order
to cover the intervening time between
the present and proposed periods.
The sentiment of nearly all of the
committee is said to be favorable to a
change in the date.
The Senate committee on privileges
and elections will also give a hearing
on the subject.
conversa
tion witji a Leader representative to-
day said that owing to the fact that
Orange had been a cut rate town, he
believed the rates, with reference to
business structures, would be raised;
that there was a probability of a de-
crease in the rate applying to resi-
dences. Each .agent engaged in the
fire insurance business has already
been furnished with a copy of the
newly enacted law referring to rates
with an explanation of the rates to be
effective January 1, 1910.

no intermediaries between God and
tr.an, none to whom by self dedica-
tion and long ministration, the h-'.bits
of self-sacrifice, of aspiration, of will-
ing-unworldly things, 6f obeying high
impulses shall have become a power
and an authority fit to help those

Changing Ways of Nature.
Coreless as well as seedless are the
apples produced on a single tree of
unknown variety in an eight-acre or-
chard at Moran prairie, five miles
north of Spokane, owned by H. K.
Short, a ranchgr. The largest of the
fruit is three inches in diameter, the
coloring being a yellowish green,
streaked with red. The apples have
deep pink cheeks and the flesh is firm
and of excellent flavor. The tree is
growing in subirrigated soil at an at-
titude of 2,225 feet. Short does not
claim credit for developing the core-
less and seedless apple, declaring it
to be a freak of nature.
Seven of the new apples were
brought to the offices of the National
Apple Show, Inc., in Sqokane, and
quartered in the presence of Ren H.
Rice, secretary-manager, Professor
August Van Holderbreke, formerly
state commissiones of horticulture of
Washington and several growers from
varioifs parts of the Northwest, but
none was able to classify the fruit.
Profesaor W. S. Thornber, horticul-
turist at the State college of Wash-
ington, has been delegated by J. J.
Browne, regent of Spokane, to make
a thorough examination of the tree to
determine its origin.
Short has engaged three watchmen,
each to work eight hours a day as
guards in his orchard, to prevent in-
jury to the tree. He intends to graft
the scions on other trees the coming
spring. Expert pomologists say if the

yesterday afternoon for Kirbyville,
where he goes to look after another

ably be at Kirbyville or San Augus-
tine.
During l»'s stay in the city, Dr.
Peck has made a winning with the
people, all of whom seem to appreci-
ate the exhibit and lectures to the
fullest extent and the probabilities are
that there will be considerable chang-
es n.ade in the manner of living with
reference to sanitation since the visit
by Dr Peck and his exhibit.
