A RAILROAD INCIDENT-As the
night team on the Rutland & Washington
Railroad was running out of this place
for Troy, on Friday night last, curious
and amusing incident occurred. The
train was running between thirty and
forty miles an hour, when the engineer
discovered calf or yearling on the track
Immediately. ahead of the train. The
signal for braking up was Immediately
sounded, and to the surprise of the engine
man the animal disappeared. Conductor
rolhurst was attending to his duties,
when he heard the quick, sharp signal
from the engine. With his mind full of
land-slides and wash-outs, Dave" took Il
seat, and prepared for the worst. Again
came the signal from the engine, quick
and sharp, as before. The shudders of the
passengers, and the grating of the brakes
kept the "gentlemanly conductor" in an
extremely agitated frame of mind, until
the train came to "a stop. Then rushing
out to ascertain the cause of the stoppage,
David heard the voice of the engineer
calling from the front of the engine, and
supposing some unfortunate had met an
untimoly death from the rushing train,
and expecting to find mangled corpse
wedged in among the machinery, our
conductor went forward, preparing his
mind for the horrid sight. lie was, how
ever, mvch relieved upon arriving at the
front of the train, to find the "bossy" that
had caused the stoppage, lying quietly
upon the front of the engine under the
head light, and winking ut the assembling
humans as though she had causedzRhe
whole disturbance for practical Joke
Bossy was helped off, and quietly trotted
from the road. apparently much pleased
with her part of the affair. The conduc-
tor laughed, the engineer declared that
no engine but the Horace Clark could
pick up passengers in that way, and the
train moved on.

The Siberian winter Apple.

We have received from c. Andrews o
Marengo, Illinois, circular on the Sibe
rian species of the apple, which contain,
information on the history and botanical
characteristics of the apple, of interest tc
fruit-growers generally, and announcing
that he is prepared 10 furnish trees of the
ce ebrated "Marengo" Siberian Winter
Apples in limited quantities.
The Editor of the Omaha Republican
in speaking Of these fruits says:
These trees are new and mammoth va.
rieties Of the Siberian apple, which grow

are .over two inches in diameter The
common Siberians are excellent fruits for
sauce and preserves and are very popular
with the housewives, but thee new sorts
are described by such high authority a.
Elliott and Warder, as being superior
fruits for all culinary purposes, besides
possessing fine qualities for the dessert
adding TO this their quality of keeping
through the Winter aud Spring, aud they
are at once seen 10 be acquisitions of ma
tioml importance.
The Siberian is known TO be more
hardy than any other apple tree, standing
the severest climate and the most violent
changes of weather without the least in
jury to the tree or its capacity to produce
fruit, of which it bears an astonishing
abundance every season without fail I; and
Is also capable of the same Improvement IA
the other varieties OF the apple We hay
cultlvated 1t for five years, and can attest
from our own experience that this Is the
precise character of the Siberian apple
tree.
And such being It's character. we regard
it as eminently the apple 10 cultivate in
the region of country west of the Missouri
river. 1t i an admirable apple for
Nebraska. where we believe it can be
brought to its highest degree OF perfec-
ton. Its cultivation can be- made very
successful speciality in this State, and We
hope that all who contemplate cultivating
fruit-as all should-will give it a pro-
minent place in their orchards.
We advise all such to send for the

i liz Is worthy of mention, Mr.. Speaker,
that Congress then acted upon the susges-
tion of President Monroe and passed .
law with stringent provisions against
expeditions leaving our ports To engage
in ho-tilities against nations with which
I we were at peace. Whatever sympathy the
/ people of this country then had with thu
struggling patriots of South America it
did not find official expression in either
House of Congress.
la April, 1920, Mr. Clay moved TO pro-
vide by law AN outfit and salary for
ministers to such South American prov
inces as as Ind established and acere min
tanning their iHdependehce" In the debate
| upon this motion, Mr.. Clay said:
1.-TWO questions only were necessarily prelimin-
airy 20 tn. cogniton of the Independence Of the
people of the South; first, to the fact II their
independence and second y. ns TO their capacity
for self government. IN The first point not doubt
eeists on the second, there was every evidence
Its favor"
The resolution was .2dopted by vote
of so to 20, but no appropriation was made
and no further action was taken at that
session of Congress.
In February, 1921, Mr.. Clay moved a.
an amendment to an appropriation bill, To
insert provision making an appropriation
for outfit and salary to any South Amer
lean government which had established and
rs maintaining its independence of Spain
This motion failed by vote of 10 TO SO
During the same month, Mr.. Clay offered
this resolution:
Resofred, That the House Of Representative
participates with the people Of the United stztes,
in the deep interest which they feel for the sue
of the spanish provinces Of South America, |
which are struggling 70 establish their liberty AND
independence; and that II viii give its constitu-
tional support To the President whenever be may

and Independence Of any OF said provinces"
The motion to lay this resolution upon
