"APPLE SAYINGS"
The King of Fruits Was Not Always in
the High Favor it Now Is.

The King of Fruits Was Not Always in
the High Favor it Now Is.
Apples we're at one time underesti-
mated, says a writer in Youths Com
panion; they we're scarcely consider
ed fruit rare enough for the consi-
deration of the epicure, unless, indeed
they formed part of some elaborate
dessert, compounded and cooked by
a skilled housekeeper. Apple jellies,
buildings, pies and cakes mig hit do,
but plain raw apples were fit only for
school children, vegetarians or the
poor. All this is now changed, and
the apple has come to it's own again.
But if it's flavor has been at various
times slightly esteemed or discredited
at least its wholesomeness has been
steadily recognized. apple say
ings" are frequent, both in our coun-
try and in England, all of which tes-
tify in favor Of the fruit. In the
west coountree" there are four such &:
An apple day
Sends the doctor away,
is the first and briefest. Then follow,
in the order of their vigor, three
more:
Apple in the morning
Doctors warning.
Roast apple at night,
Starved the doctor outright.
Eat an apple going to bed
Knock the doctor on the head.
A little less aggressive is one of the
Midlands:
Three each day, seven days a week
Rudy apple, rudy cheek.
But more interesting than these is
an old orchard verse which used to
be recited on certain ancient farms
on the plucking of the firstripe apples
of the crop. Misfortune was supposed
to follow it's omission, and it's utter
ance was quite a little ceremony, the
first apple over which it was spoken
being presented to a young girl, who
halved and bit it before any further
fruit was gathered, or at least tested.
Thus it ran:
The fruit of Eve receive and ceave,
And taste the flesh therein
A wholesome food, for man tits good
That once for man was sin.
And since tits sweet, why, pluck and eat,
The Lord will have it SO;
For that which Eve did grieve, believe
Hath wrought its all of woe
Eat the applet

THE WEST AND EXPANSION.
Popularity Of Philippine Annexation
Among Western People.
From The Denver Republican, silver.l

From The Denver Republican, Silverl
The West stands for the policy of
expansion because it recognizes the
greatness and is willing to bear its
share of the responsibilities of the
nation as a world power.
Men of the West appreciate that
the United States of to-day, extend
ing from ocean to ocean aud inhab-
tied by rs, 100000 people, is not the
country Of a hundred years ago.
Then the thirteen colonies, fringing
the Atlantic coast and trembling lest
they might be deprived of their new
ly acquired independence, were wise
in adopting a policy of isolation and
non-interference. But with increas-
ing strength came wider opportuni-
mites. By the Louisiana purchase
Jefferson opened before the young re-
public a career of national greatness
surprising that of any other power
in history. The West in reaping the
fruits appreciates the wisdom of that
policy, perfected as it was by the ad-
mission of Texas and annexation of
the territory acquired from Mexico.
No spirit of Imperialism finds lodg-
ment in the hearts of the people of
the West. They favor the policy of
expansion because it is the policy OF
national development and growth.
But they desire to establish no i'm
perial government, no despotic rule,
in any possession which may be
brought under the protection of the
American flag. Wherever the flag
floats there liberty and free govern
ment must prevail.
What more than all else expansion
means to the people West is the new
place to which, under it, the nation
has attained in relation to the re-
mainder of the world. By the defeat
of Spain the United States cast aside
the policy of isolation. The victo-
ries of Manila Bay and off the coast
of Santiago awakened the courts Of
Europe to knowledge of the fact that
a great power had arisen in the new
world, and there is not a statesman
of the continent unwilling to listen to
American demands whether in rela-
ton to new world aft lirs or to those
that pertain to the Orient.

and the imposition OF the war taxes
an average of 81 100000 a day was
