to men
only. He invited them to lay off

his.coat.
He preached an excellent sermon
that was full of warnings against
bad habits, but said nothing tbat
ladies and ehidren could not hear.
The sermon was bitterly opposed to
the cigarette habit, and several
incidents were related to show the
folly of the practice and the de'
structive results that are almost
sure to iollow the excesssve use of
them.
He referred to tho railroad iu
their refusal to employ men or boys
who smoke cigarettes, and he inti
mated that other businesses might
do woll to follow the example.
On strong drink lie related several
incidents of a serious nature resulting

SEEDLESS APPLES
Sharing honors with the wireless
teb graph, smokeless coal and
miorobeless water at tho World’s
Fair is an exhibit of seedless apples.
California contributed some seedless
oranges and Florida seedless pears,
but it remained for Colorado tu
produce the apple without core.
Not only has this fruit an absence
of seed, but thj tree upon which it
is grown is blossomless. Mr. John
F. Spencer of Grand Junction is
father of the speoics and he says
that the seedless appleisalso immuno
from the ravages of insects.
Horticulturists who visit the
World's Fair are greatly interested
in the exhibit, as the culture of tho
fruit is regarded as an important
discovery. Mr, Spencer is now
experimental with the various
varities of apples and be believes
that he can develop' a seedless
Winesap, a seedless Gano and
other favorite species. If ho is
successful it is likely that other
fruit growers will follow his ex
ample.
It is claimed that the seedless
apple is not hurt by the frost be
cause it has ho blossoms. It ip a
hardy grower and thrives abundantly
m the Colorado climate. These
advantages in its behalf rccoomcnd
it to all orphardists.
The Spencer display is mado in
the Colorado .exhibit in tho Palace
of Horticulture. Several bushels
of the fruit are in cold storago and
the supply ib constantly kept fresh.
