It la Wednes
day morning In
naradlse. The
tbslr opening place nor the flsh take
their first swim until the following
Friday. The solar and lunar lights
did not break through the thick, cha
otic fog ot the world's manufacture
until Thursday. Before that there
waa light, but lt -was electric light or
phosphorescent light, not the light of
sun or moon. But the botanical and
pomological productions came on
Wednesday, first the flowers and then
the fruits. Tbe veil of fog is lifted,
and there stand the orchards. Watch
tha sudden maturity ot the fruit. In
our time pear trees must have two
years, before they bear fruit and
peach trees ' three years, and
apple trees five years, but here
Instantly a complete orchard springs
Into life, all the branchoa bear
ing fruit. The lnsectlle forces, which
have been doing their worst to destroy
the fruits for 6,000 years, had not yet
begun their invasion. Tbe curculio
had not yet stung the plum, nor the
caterpillar hurt the apple, nor had the
phylloxera plague, which has devas
tated the vineyards of America and
France, assailed the grapes, nor the
borer perforated the wood, nor the
aphides ruined the cherry, nor the
grub punctured the nectarine, nor the
blight struck the pear. There stood
the first orchard with a perfection of
rind, and an esqulslteness of color,
and a lusclousness of taste, and an
affluence of production which it may
take thousands of years more of study
of the science ot fruits to reproduce.
Why waa the orchard created two
days before the flsh and birds and
three days before the cattle? Among
other things, to Impress the world
with a lesson It Is too stupid to learn
that fruit diet is healthier than meat
diet, and that the former must precede
the latter. The reason there are In
the world so many of the lmbruted
and sensual is that they have not im
proved by the mighty, unnoticed fact
that the orchards of paradise preceded
the herds, and aviaries and flsh ponds.
Oh, those fruit bearing trees on the
banks of the Euphrates, and the Gihon
and the Hlddekel! I wonder not that
the ancient Romans, Ignorant of our
Qod, adored Pomona,, the goddess of
fruits, and that all the sylvan deities
were said to worship her, and that
groves were set apart as her temples.
You have thanked God for bread a
thousand times. Have you thanked
him for the fruits which he made the
first course of food In the menu of the
world's table the acids of those fruits
to keep the world's table from being
insipid, and their sweets to keep lt
from being too sour?
At this autumnal season how the
orchards breathe and glow, the leaves
removed that the crimson or pink or
saffron or the yellow or brown may
the better appear, while the aromatlcs
fill the air with Invitation and remi
niscence. As you pass through the
orchard on these autumnal days and
look up through the arms of the trees
laden with fruit you hear thumping on
the ground that which is fully ripe,
and throwing your arms around the
trunk you give a shake that sends
down a shower of gold and fire on all
sides of you. Pile up In baskets and
barrels and bins and on shelves and
tables the divine supply. But these
orchards have been under the assault
of at least 60 centuries tbe storm, the
droughts, the winters, the insectlvora.
What must the first orchard have
been? And yet lt is the explorer's ev
idence that on the site of that orchard
there is not an apricot, or an apple, or
an olive nothing but desert and deso
lation. There is not enough to forage
the explorer's horse, much less to feed
his own hunger. In other words, that
first orchard Is a lost orchard. How
did tbe proprietor and the proprietress
of all that intercolumnlatlon of fruit
age let the rich splendor slip their pos
session? It was, as now, most of the
orchards are lost namely by wanting
more. Access they had to all the fig
trees, apricots, walnuts, almonds, ap
ples bushels on bushels and were
forbidden the use of only one tree In
the orchard. Not satisfied with all but
one, they reached for that and lost the
whole orchard, do right down through
the business marts of the great cities
and find among the weighers and
clerks and subordinates men who once
commanded the commercial world.
They had a whole orchard of successes,
but they wanted just one more thing,
one more house, or one more country
seat, or one more store, or one more
railroad, or one more million.
They clutched for that and lost all
thoy had gained. For one more tree
they lost a whole orchard. There are
business men all around us worried
nearly to death. The doctor tells
them they ought to stop. Insomnia or
indigestion or aching at the base of the
brain or ungovernable nerves tell them
they ought to stop. They really have
enough for themselves and their fami
lies. Talk with them about their
overwork and urge more prudence and
longer rest and they say: "Tea, you
are right. After I have accomplished
one more thing that I have on my
mind I will hand over my business to
my sons and go to Europe and quit the
kind of exhausting life I have been
living tor the past SO years." Some

looking at the death column, you find

lantic and Pacific passenger train No. 2
from the west was held up by four men
near Orants station, 9o miles west of
this city. After blowing open the ex
press company's safe, the robbers
wrecked the train, which ruught fire,
the express, baggage and smoking cars
being totally destroyed.
It Is not yet known whether they
were successful ln obtaining booty, but
It In thought a large amount of money
was carried by the train.
The robbers had boarded the train
at some point farther west, and when
near Grants one of them boarded the
engine and, covering the engineer with
a gun. ordured hlsk to stop the train.
The coaches were cut off and left at the
stockyards. The rest of the train was
then taken out a mile and a half from
the station, whore the express safe was
dismantled.
After robbing the safe, the robbers re
versed the engine and made thulr es
cape. The engine and baggage car ran
at a terrific rate until they struck the
coaches, which were standing near the
stockyarda. The cars were wrecked and
caught fire, four of them being burned.
Fortunately the passengers had all
left the coaches before the collision,
and none waa Injured.
A late rumor is to the effect that the
fireman. Henry Able, who wan com
pelled by the robbers to run the engine
when the coaches were loft, was killed
by the explosion when the safe was
blown open.
