FARuERS' FRUIT OFFERING.
by the Suggestion Of Dr. Edward Everett
Hale the Farmers OF New England Are 10
Share Their Apples with the Poor OF Boston.

From The Boston EroninO Transcript.
New England apple trees have been heavily
weighted down with fruit this season. and il
they wished every farmer could find n ready
market for every apple that has ripened into
tempting beauty The New England farmer
has a big heart. however. and he does not forget
the moro unfortunate In the city who have no
apples because they have no money % bU.. and
50 the Farmers Fruit Offering has come to be
one Of the happiest of all the harvest festivals
of the year.
-Four years ago when apples were a delight
in the land DR. Edward Everett Hale made the
suggestion that il the farmers would remember
the poor of the city they would fully appreciate
every apple given them. The idea met with
instant favor and the farmers generously sent
on apples by the carload. and the good work
was helped on by the managers OF the Boston
and Maine. the Boston and Albany, and the New
York. New Haven and Hartford railroads. for
they promised to transport free all the apples do
mated To the city Of Boston SO this work came

every year when there l. an overabundance Of

Three weeks ago applications began to come
to Mrs. Bernard Whitman. Lend-a-Hand Office,

daily mails like autumn leaves. Mrs Whitman

distribution.
In order to carry on the work to the best
advantage a warehouse has TO be secured:
likewise a man with a cart. Then when word
l. received that a carload Of apples Is on the

the Associated Charities and other organizations
the poor receive car : which entitle them to a
gift of the fulness Of the land. Nearly every ono
receives a peck, and where the family numbers
many a more liberal allowance Is made. All
who are able carry the fruit home them
selves. but a large number who are age or

II was estimated that during the fret season
5,505 bushels were distributed on 5,3le orders,
which represented over $1,000 people. and
so Systematically was the work done that
all the fruit went TO the very people whom
the farmers themselves would have chosen
a. recipients. The majority who ask for APP
piles are the respectfully poor OF American
or English birth. By the last of the month
the apples will begin to come in from all the
New England farms

little white poodle came down the steps

He walked up to one of the lions, set
tied back on his hind legs, and looked
at the big stone beast Then he shifted
and glanced around inquiringly. All
at once he made up his mind. He
made a fierce rush for the lion, barking
as viciously and as loud as dog six
inches long could bark. He positively
swelled up and appeared about to ex-
plode with wrath.

When you hear young man say,
Il don't believe in a woman having
anything to do but sit and read or
manicure her finger nails all day,
don't want my wife to be busy about
anything" why, of course, you know
that the young man is simply talking
against time. He doesn't mean word
he says, and it is safe to warrant that
he is the first man who would be bored
to death by such a girl. This young
man may like to fancy that he is be-
lever in such false sentiments, and
perhaps he does believe in them for
the moment of saying But this may
Llore than likely be only his way of
protesting against the wave of energy
which the girlhood of today is respond
ing to. out of which perhaps may
come salvation even to man. Or else,
possibly, there is nothing more than sly
method in his old school assertion.
