A care rful picker can fill the basket direct the tree, but the usual plan is K.o piek into large receptacles, then, carefully sorting the plums, place in packages ready for market.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1900. When a preparation has an advertised rep utation that is world-wide, it means that preparation is meritorious. If you go into t store to buy an article that has achieved universal popularity like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for example, you feel it has the fndorsement of the world. The judgment of the people is infallible because it is im personal. The retailer who wants to sell you "something else'' in place of the article you ask for, has an ax to grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's trying to sell something that is not what he represents it to be. Why? Because he expects to derive an extra profit our of your credulity. Don't you see through his little game? The man who will try to sell you a substitute for Cascarets is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to steal the honestly earned benefits of a repu tation which another business man has paid for, and if his conscience will allow him to go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats his customer in one way, he will in another and it is not safe to do business with him. Beware of the Cascaret substitutor! Remember Cascarets are never sold in bulk but in metal boxes with the long tailed "C" on every box and each tablet stamped c. c. c, lit- Wouldn't Tell. The argument by analogy or hypothetical case is often dangerous. A very stately and dignilied clergyman used to tell a story illustrative of the risk of this method. One of his parishioners was much addicted to drink and one night the vicar met him coming home in such a condition that he remonstrated with him on the spot, and by way of clinching his argument, asked: "What would you say if you were to see me reeling down the street in a state of hopeless intoxication?" The offender ap peared to be deeply impressed and an swered. fervently: "I wouldn't tell a soul, sir."—San Francisco Argonaut. Wonderful Cures are effected by Palmer's Lotion.

Immense precautions did he use, yet with that terror throbbed. He thought thieves might take anything— his folks, his goods, his life—so when lie went away from home he always wired his wife. He pursed his lips to keep them safe, he used to hide his son; he always kept his books well bound; he liked tied games alone. Of course he'd lashes on his eyes, and, as it sometimes rains, he took in all the shows each night. His arguments had chains. He wouldn t buy a chainless wheel, although the neighbors laughed; and when he died he left a wish they'd sink liis marble shaft.— Yale Record.
