Fred Donner, a California ranch-
er, rained a $f 0,000 crop of beans
in 1910, but before he could mar-
ket thern the price fell to a figure
that gave him nothing for his la-
bor. He had seen other growers
get rich on beans in war time, hut
guessed wrong on his* enterprise. _
Last year he planted fifteen acres
of watermelons and got $1,000 for
melons and $2,000 for seed. Now
he is going in for production of
seed of varieties which are in de-
mand at a price of f>0 to 7f> cents a
pound. Last, summer he invited
tourists to come and eat melons so
he could save the labor of extracting
the seed. Melons weighing eighty
pounds have been grown on his
ranch, "as sweet as honey," he
claims, and he aspires to the distinc-
tion of melon seed king of the State.
Poultry man Out $10 for Pulling
Roosters' Tails
New York.—Hatmakers who pay
$15 a pound for the long tails of
roosters for millinery purposes
probably will find a shortage in the
market after the experience of
Morris Cohen, poultry dealer's
employe, in Jefferson Mnrket Court.
Cohen was charged with cruelty to
animals. An agent for the S. P. C.
A. said he caught him yanking the
tail feathers from roosters he was
unloading from a truck. The ajfent
stated that the birds eventurlly
die from the acute pain caused by
pulling their tail feathers from their
bodies. Cohen explained he had
pulled the feathers in fun. but he
had to pay a fine of $10 for his
diversion.
Now they
stopped at. old Linda's cottage. David'*
face hunted angrily. Linda was a dis-
approved resident, who thrived h.v telP
lug faked fortunes to summer guests,
especially. She lived In the shabby
tving of a house wlilcli had been re-
moved town ward, the wing left In half
decay. And here Kahla entered, the
smiling l.'iaI ai her side—to have their
fortunes told undoubtedly.
Looking hack presently, David dis-
covered Dal Hemming walking along
the patli. Kahla had evidently decid-
ed fliat she would prefer to hear the
' fates" unattended. The fine looking
man, In Irreproachable attire, waved a
greeting to the doctor, "Wonder," he
asked pleasantly, as lie came along-
side, "If you would pick me up? Miss

David was too honest to veil his un-
friendly spirit. "I stop at a near
house," lie answered, abruptly, aim
drove on. __
Dal Hemming smiled; It was an
amused, patronising smile.
David reached home later than usual

made to any one willing to take a
chance by two Belgian travelers
who have just returned from the
wilds of India.
There they were told hy natives
that the bodies of dead elephants
never are found and that since time

been escorted to a secret burying
place by their kind. There they are
allowed to die and then covered
with soil, according to the natives.
