A Woll-knoWn newspaper man OF this

walks in the country was out one day,
says the Washington Star. AS he
passed an orchard he noticed all the
trees but one we'll filled with apples.
'That's strange" he remarked to his
companion.
whats the reason, do you imagine?'
asked the other.
Here comes boy. I'll asked him, !"
and the journalist tackled the boy.
Zine apples you have for an of
year." he said, with an air of freedo m
and acquaintance with the facts.
Kinder" replied the boy.
"Where do you sell them mostiy?"
MOSTLY don't sell 'em. Make cider. !"
"Ah. are they cider apples?''
course; couldn't make cider if they
wesn't.''

notice one tree over there by the fence
hasn't an apple on it. Do yon know why
that is?'
II reckon"
well, my friend here and are lit

Certainly. It's cause it's a plum

A Colored Wharf Hand Talks Philosophy

A gentleman who has the manage.
ment of business that requires large
number of negroes, said to one of his
employees recently: "Sam, the colored
people are wonderful people, are thoy
not?"
1t was dinner time, and Sam looked
up from his tin dinner kettle and re-
piled: "Yes, sab. They can get long
with less money, and have more loafing
time than any people / know of. They
are heap better off than white folks.
They don't have any thing to worry
them. You know, boss, colored people
get their eating for almost nothing,
