Mr. Wilder is a bright, nervous lit- tle fellow, whose face betokens the restlesg -activity of his mind. ' His twinkling brown eyes are never still, and whatever he says is accompanied by illustrative gestures and grimaces. He is very cordial in his manner, a five minutes acquaintance with him be- ing a sufficient explanation of the fact that he numbers his friends among the A can, who is dying of thirst, on the arid glnlna. and takes him to her home until e recovers. Although he is a mar- ried man, he keeps the fact from her, and makes desperate love to her, she discarding her old lover for the new. The hate in the heart of her discarded lover prompts him to shoot the new- comer, but upon seeing their great ap- parent love for each other, decided to give up his claim and leave the coun- try. As the happy pair start off for a cross country ride, the American drops a note that he had secreted in his hat, which is destined -to reach a friend of his, and tells of the fool that he is making of the girl. This being found by the unselfish lover, stirs all the malicz in his heart, and a fierce chase is the result, in which the American barely escapes with his life, and the two Mexican lovers are reunited. This is but one of the many features, and the whale bill is most,excellent. Miss Woicott is making the hit of the season with hér splendid songs, which are daily serving to increase the already large atterdance. Vermont Apple Farm. * With his crop of apples for this year sold for $17,000, one farmer at Char- lotte, Vt., reads the accounts of west- ern apple fevers with .complacency. He has only a 100-acre farm. Some of that is not set to apple trees, He has employed 60 men this fall pick- ing the 5,000 barrels of apples. Thou- sands of people have ridden to Char- lotte in the past few weeks to see the immense orchards of Charles T. Holmes there, near the shore of Lake Champlain, and it is a place of beanty that improves the scenery about the lake. Still, it is only an ordinary farm. The elder Holmes began planting ap- ple trees 40 years ago and his son is getting. the best of the yield, though there has been an income for years. Bach tree is attended to and fertil- ized as though it were a prize beauty. Men from the west have offered Mr. Holmes $50,000 for that farm to sell again, New England would be much richer if all the farms were bearing that class in value because of defi- nite work in production.—Worcester Telegram.

WILDER. prominent people in this country and in England by the hundred, while in the ordinary social walks his ardent admirers and friends are Innumerable. Mr. Wilder says: “There is all the difference in the world in audieaces. Some time ago my New York friends advised me to go to Yonkers and give an entertuinment. They told me that Yonkers was my spot—that the people were cultured and all that sort .of thing: so I made an arrangement to appear at an entertainment. You know the Goulds live there, and Clara Morris, and a great many well known people. Well, when I made my ap- pearance I told a story, and it didn’t seem te go. Then I told another and the people were still too chilly for my comfort. Just then a kitten walked out on the stage to where I stood and looked up at me. I picked it up, strok- ed it once or twice, and said that I had one friend in the house, anyway. That broke the ice and the rest of the en- tertafhment went splendidly.”—Chicago Mail “A Southern Rose.” One of the greatest attractions of th season will be shown at tk theater on Thursday, No and night, whtn Kenna, B lard present their latest military drama “A Saquthern Rose.” The cast is well balanced and the play is of the he. stirring order.
