APPLE EXPORT TRADE
Better Packing Wculd Reultin Larger
and More Pr.fi able Business.
Mr. Blytho W. Branch, writing from
Paris to The Times-DlBpatch regarding
an "editorial which recently appeared in
this paper on the prosperous condition,
of the. apple export trade of the United
States, encloses the following extract
from a letter received by the American
Chamber of Commerce:
Our attention has been called to the
low prices realized for American apples
arriving in European ports, owing to
the bad condition in which they are re?
ceived.
The trade In this article Is very se?
riously hampered by present methods of
packing, und we are assured that if this
evil were corrected It would result In
Increased and more profitable business.
At present, apples ure packod In bar?
rels for ovor-soa transportation In the
most careless tnnnner, no special precau?
tions being taken in vlow of the very
rough handling to which such shipments
are exposed. As a result, thoy arrive
In foreign ports In exceedingly bad con?
dition, fully thirty per cont, being lost
through bruising and decay,
Those familiar with tho trade assert
that fully double the present prices could
bo realized if the apples arrived in proper
condition. It Is urgently suggested thnt
apples for export be carefully packed In
layers, between sheets of suitable pro?
tecting msTrittl, In such manner that,
whilst not being so tightly packed aa to
produce bruising, all chance of shifting
rn routo' will be prevented. At the same
time ventilation should be most care?
fully provided for, and this may readily
bo done by boring holes in the hoods and
staves of the barrels.

A FOOD RESCUE.
What a Physxian's Wife Found Out.
The wife of a well known physician of
Oakland, Oal., was brought back to

time, when she had prepared to die.
Sho says of her experience; "I am the
wife of a physician, and Rave suffered
from catarrh of tho stomach more than
ton years, during which time I Buffeted
untold agonies of mlnrt and body, for I
4 could not eat solid food, and evon liquid
fods gave mo great distress;
"I was brought at last to confront the
crisis of my life. I actually mado ready
for my departure from friends and hus?
band, for I oxpeoted to die. When In

GYPSY JACK IS
IN DURANCE VILE
Broke His Pledge and Got the
Limit on His Own Sug?
gestion.
"Six months In Jail at last," muttered
Gypsy Jack, as he meandered bade to the
pen.
"Six months, and it might have been
freedom. Freedom like that of the rab?
bit, who goes forth, only to fall by the
wayside from shots."
It was freedom like this, and Jack fell
from shots. He was not half shot, and he
had promised to go forth to a place where
Jobs awaited him. Jobs of trading horses
and getting the best of It.
This much he had promised Justice
John, and he went forth In Capitol Square
end sniffed the breeze like the frisky
squirrel. Then ho cut loose down Frank?
lin Street and Scale-House Corner, and
Captain Shlnbergor's men knew him
again.
"Six months, sure," said Justice John.
And not until tho beautiful May days
onco more show themselves will Gypsy
Jack be on deck.
The other cases were not blase. Per?
sons of convivial habits, with good char?
acters, stood up In lowly meln, and were
permitted to elude the rough grasp of
tho wary Robins, who is always on tho
alert.

Important cases for Justice John to-mor?

lodge at night, such as editors, report?
ers, printers, musicians, etc. The new

The mechanical execution of the work Is
excellent, and altogether the volume is

THE MAN
ABOUT
TOWN
-BY?
Harry Tucker.
If we could only dance like little Bobby
Barry we'd be in a position to accept
all the Invitations we get to go to
parties and parlor socials.
But we can't and there Is no use car?
rying around a lot of regreis with us,
for we can enjoy Bobbys dancing and
his acting, and wo feel that that alono
Is worth the price of admission, and we
don't say so because Bobby is a friend
of ours, aa we can prove by hundreds of
people who have seen him at the Bijou
this week.
But Bobby, isn't the whole show, for
a melodrama, with-the streets and shops
and tenements of New York in It, has
to have a villain or two, and Arnodl
Alexander makes one of the best we
ever saw. He Is, however, one of the
itnest fellows In private life we know of,
and ho is far from being a real villain.
Another thing to make a melodrama
successful Is the hero, the Johnnie on
the spot, who always rushes to the
rescue, and Harry De Vero Is Just as
handsome and accomplished a hero on
the stage as he is a good fellow off.
Air three of these teilows and oursolf
got around tho supper table at Camp
Dell's lost night, and we told them we
were going to size them up In the play
and glvo them a roast. But we couldn t
do It, for the Shop Girl Is too much
after the heart of the people, and Is too
well acted for us to go Into a roast.

Our friend Joe West and some other
fellows, whose William Henrys we could
not remember, have returned from a
hunting trip to Stafford county.
We asked them how much they caught,
and Blair Meanly, who was In the bunch i
asked us to go Into the Auto for a min?
ute and talk It over before a cup of
coffee and a "Man About Town" cigar.
Then Joe and his ? friends looked at
each other, and their faces relaxed Into
meaning smiles.
"We hate to say," snld one of them,
as he contemplated tho country mud on
his boats.
"The new game laws prohibit us say?
ing a word aixiut It." said Joe, as he
picked a. feather off his coat sleeve.
"But If you como up to my home I'll
show you one of the boat game dinners
you ever saw."
"We'd rather take clams at the Law?
rence, where Sparks puts up the real
stew with real rabbits.and things," wo
replied.
The conversation lagged, and as wo
went over to Gonnella's for a coca cola
we told Joe we wouldn't say anything
about it, until we got back to Johnnie
Doyle's. H. T.

Miss Florence Wayland, In a letter
from 1608 Aldrlch Ave.. Minneapolis,

"I can honestly give Peruna the high?
est endorsement, for I have used it and
found It has special merit. During tho
early part of the winter' I caught cold,
being exposed to a draught at the opera,
and the next evening I attended a danc?
ing party and caught more cold, and
soon found that Influenza had me In lis
Iron grip. I was then dosed with liquids,
.powders and pills, but found no relief
until a friend who called brought inc a
bottle of Peruna and Insisted that I dis?
continue the use of everythlrg else nnd
give this an honest trial. I did po. .and
feel very glad Indeed that I did. Within
ten days I was convalescing and In t-.vo
weeks I felt myself once more. P-sru- a

' "Pen and Ink never can tell it the
good Peruna has done for me after
severe suffering from congestive ca?
tarrhal troubles In my stomach and
bowels. I realized the cause had to be
removed, and as I had your medicine
recommended to me by a friend who

Miss Mary Kemkemer, 44 Raynler St.,
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: ?
"I am glad, to advise you of the very
satisfactory results I have experienced
through the use of Peruna. I contracted
a severe cold at an evening party which
settled' on my lungs most persistently.
No medicine helped me until mother gave
me Peruna, which quickly caused a com?
plete change for the better and cured me
In three weeks.' I have had no bad after
effects nor recurrence of the trouble and
am truly grateful to you for your won?
derful Peruna."?Mary Kemkemer.
The society woman Is very prone to
catch cold during the nodal season. Low

so the society woman especially ndaria
protection In this direction. They should*,
have somo tried remedy tor colds n.i\S

symptoms of catching cold.
That Peruna Is exactly such a remedy
the accompanying testimonials prova.
Peruna prevents colds by strenirthenlng
the mucous membranes; It cures colds
by beallnt; the cata-rhal mucous muin
branes. Society women find It a pro?
tection and a oure. All classes of wo?
men find It Invaluable for. the many
catarrhal derangements of winter.
Miss Margaret Hueston, 1127 Linden
St.. Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
"Peruna Is Indeed a household bless?
ing., Last- fall I caught a severe cold,
which developed- Into a most unpleasant
catarrh of tho respiratory organs, and
for over two weeks I ?ou!d neither enjoy
my food nor secure restful sleep. I be?
came nervous and Irritable and nothing
looked Just right to me. A good neigh?
bor advised me to try Peruna and I Im?
mediately sent for a bottle. I am. very
glad Indeed thnt I did. I began to feel
relief In a week and soon felt better,than.
I had In two years. I do not dread a'

FINE FISH GO

(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
HBATHSVILLE, VA., October 81.?The
fish factories In the lower part of this
ccunty aro doing well now. The steamer
W. G. Brusstar, belonging to Messrs.
Snow and Fallln, returned Thursday la?
den with over four hundred and fifty
thousand menhaden fish. Mr. Morris' two
steamers also caught all the fish they
cculd handle. The owners of these boats
declaro that the fish now being caught
are the finest that have been seen hers
for years.
The farmers of this section are now try?
ing to pick a time in which to dig their
potatoes, but on account of the weather,
which continues to hold bad here, It Is
almost Impossible to pick a time when It
Is dry enough. Some few crops, however,
have been saved, and these are reported
to have turned out remarkably well, con?
sidering the season.
The farmers are slow In getting their
corn In here. Only one crop In this im?
mediate vicinity has been shucked. This,
It Is reported, turned out twelve barrels
to the acre. Should all the corn around
here turn out as good as this crop, the
farmers will have all tho corn they can
handle next year.
Last Sunday night one of the finest lec?
tures ever heard here was delivered by
Rev. J. XV. West on the subject of temper?

sympathy shown any arraignment of any
party In this section Just now.
In the lean years It Is the other fellow
who has wrought the damage, but this
year we aro all so well to do that nono
has causo to coniplnln.
It has not been a bumper year, but tlie
General crop yield has been good, and
almost every one has plenty to oat.
The furmers nro busy housing their
corn, nnd the fattening of the lowly swine
?Is next. There are lots of ucorns and
chestnuts, an but little corn will lie needed
to "make the hog," and cosoquuntly cheap
meat is evident.
Many farmers are still plowing and sow
lug their wheat, while others have theirs
up. For some seasons past the wheat In
this section, as In others, has boon a short
crop, and In consequence the seeding this
season la In niany cases reduced. Tobacco
has been also cut out ot rotation on same
farms, and In some Instances the crop
has been corn alone.
When our farmers awnken to the possi?
bility of theso river farms iw llelds for
vegetable culture, It Is probable that earn
may follow the wheat und tobacco.
Tho number ?f partridges tills w.ison Is
greater than for years rust, and ^thero
seems to be a general observance of the
new game law. Heretofore we havo le?
gally killed birds after October 16th, but
the additional two weeks of closed season
is thought to be a good thing, In that it
allows the young birds moro opportunity
to mature, and also gives the late Ooto
ter frosts a chance to kill the lingering
vegetation that Is so baffling tu even tho
best of dogs.
Itoad mending has lately been In order
near this .station, and a. njeau Improve
