Prairie SchOGne-a.

A common sight III Texas is TIC prat
.ie schooner bound west The prairie
schooner of today is little more yacht
ike In It's build than the typica! wagon
in which the earlier eInigrents navigat
ed the west. The modern manufact
urer who turns them out by the thou
sand makes the lines little finer, and
while they may not sail any closer to
the wind or any faster than the old
time schocners did they look trimmer
and more in keeping with the times. Ina
growing state like Texas dealers in farm
implements keep wagons on hand just
as they do plows, and it is not unusual
to sec packed alongside store in
small town where there is plenty OF
room outdoors forty or fifty wagons,
comprising half dozen different styles,
each as we'll known TO wagon buyers
by the brand Of its maker as sewing
machines are known by their names.
Prairie schooners under sail in Texas
are seen sometimes singly and some
times in small fleets, showing that four
or five families in Il neighborhood had
come to the same conclusion at the
same time and had decided to move Ii
company. In such climate there Is
no great discomfort liz this kind Of NOV
ing in dry weather. Of course stores
and cooking utensils are taken along,
and the camp at night Is made II pos
sible on running water and running
water is at all times refreshing Incl
dent of the travel to the horses.
You may see fleet of perhaps four
schooners in procession, with men, wo-
men, children and dogs alongside or be-
hind the wagons On the march, when
stream is approached, the men, wo-
men and children Chamber into the
wagons. You see the horses OF
the leading schooner when the cool
water washes their feet bend their
heads and drink deep. Then they tug
the schooner up the opposite bank and
move on. Each following team does
the same and closes up again OH lts
leader.
Some of these schooners carry the
household effects of immigrants from
other states moving into Texas. More
of them carry the goods of farmers
who are moving from the more thickly
settled parts of Texas into the western
and northwestern parts of the state,
where they can get more acres for their
money. Still, in keeping with the gen
eral advance of moderp comforts, many
of these outfits carry small tents The
tent will serve as dwelling place until
the house is built at the new home,
and II the family is large it adds to the
comfort en- route.-Philadelphia Tele-

Children wants work, mercy knows
there is plenty of it in New York and
Brooklyn. Last week l took a stroll
through Italy, which is section of
Mulberry Street running from the
Five Points to Canal Street. There is
no other street scene like it in Amer
lea. Within ritle-shot OF the Bowery
and Canal Street, two of the greatest
thoroughfares in New York is sec
ton of the town almost as unknown
to the great body of New Workers as
the shores of the Congo or Zambesta
In five minutes after leaving the
Bowery you feel that you have passed
into another land and are among an
other people. Beetle-browed rufiians
from Sicily and Corsica, murderous
looking banditti from Calabria and
the Pyrenees, lazaroni from Naples,
wharf rats from Genoa, hangers on
from Venice, Pisa, Palermo and Rome
crowd the rickety tumbledown tene-
ments on either side. Every pato;s
from Rome to Malta can be heard and
bad types OF every Romish province
can be found. Low drinking shops
abound, the street is filled with hux-
ter's carts and is strewn with refuse
and decayed vegetables. The rules
that apply to the streets of New York
are completely ignored here, for
Paddy Diver or Fatty Walsh, who di-
vide the political honors of this baili-
wick, would have the policeman broke
who attempted to enforce them.
Children unkempt, ragged and dirty
swarm in the streets like the locusts
OF Egypt; peace is unknown, violence
is the rule, and little gamins and wild
street Arabs of eight and ten carry
their stilletos always ready for use in
case of brawl Here is work for
Brother Gerry. Heather darker than
Africa's night, fallow ground for mis-
sion effort and the Christian ploughs.

were going any distance this way it
would be more pleasant for you to get
into the buggy and ride" With many
thanks, and may truly say heart
full of gratitude, l declined her very
kind offer, only having short distance
further to go. With a graceful wave
OF the hand and genial smile she drove
away at lively pace. l involuntarily
stood there looking after the buggy
until it was almost out of sight. Then
l trudged slowly along rejecting upon
the widely different effects upon our
emotions and other natures, for good
or for evil, for pleasure or for pain, for
happiness or misery, the general con-
duct or manners of those whom we
casually meet in our daily intercourse
with strangers, have upon us. This lady
was an entire stranger to ME, but that
kind and benevolent face, genial yet
dignified tone and manner-a small
circumstance truly but not easily to
be forgotten. 1t came like bright sun
shine upon a cold, dark and gloomy
day, an oasis upon the dreary desert
plain of my existence which will ever
remain, beautiful green spot in
memory, and carry with it the hope
and wish that l may some time again
be blessed by her presence. After
these pleasant reflections another
widely different experience comes I'M
hidden to my mind, and the one, and
only, pleasing feature in it is that it
did not occur in Olympia. l recall
the meeting of two ladies, not very
long since, seemingly would-be leaders
of society, with locked arms upon a
sidewalk only wide enough for two
the mud and water off the walk more
than shoe deep. I saw they had
no intention of separating and passing
" by file" and SO | stepped off into the
mud and slush over my shoes to allow
them to pass, and instead of manifest
ing the slightest token or acknowledge
ment of the favor or gallantry, one
turned her face partly toward me ex-
hibiting distinct appearance of frown
or scowl, as if to say, "Why didn't you
get off furtherw while the other elevat-
ed her Il will no. say pretty nose at
an angle of forty-fve degrees and tried
to look dignified. And SO they passed
on. Well it was but a small matter,
trifiing circumstance, but oh! how
different the state of feelings the train
of reflections suggested, from the
other little incident. These also left
their record deeply and painfully en-.
graved upon the tablet of my memory
which gladly would erase and for
ever forget the actors if I could.
And such is life.
Yours for small as well as great
things. OBSERVER.

THE diversity of opinion about the
first apple-trcc grown in Washington
shows how important it is for the
present generation to leave in some
definite and indisputable form, inn
portant facts relating to early settle
ment and pioneer life. Many of these
matters can be ascertained with GER
tainty now, from living witnesses,
which little later on will become sub
jects of doubt, to be settled at la st
probably erronously by an apparent
preponderence of testimony. 1t seems
that the apple-tree controversy which
finally settled upon the Spaulding tree
OF 1887 as the true pioneer, is again
opened by reference to passage in
Bancroft's history, which antedates
that event ten years. 1t says, AT a
dinner in London, lady ate an apple
and slipped the seeds into the coat
pocket of Capt. Simenson, an officer OF
the Hudson Bay Company. This Of
ficer proceeded to Vancouver, the
Hudson Bay Company's headquarter:
on the Columbia river. He had the
gardener plant the seed there in 1927
and under the mistaken notion thai
apples could not be grown in the open
air at that place, he propagated tn,
first Seeding under a glass" The
foregoing is. the Washington FdrmeI
claims, the true story of the first ap
ple-tree in the State.
