The Democratic Maple.

A southern editor says this in praise
of the apple: THE apple is the most
democratic of all fruits. The pome-
granate is priestly, the grape is royal,
the orang is luxurious, the peach and
pear are %plutocratic, but the apple be-
longs to the populace. 1t is symbolic
of the country store and the + gro.
Gerry. 1t breathes the free spirit, of the
American township and village. 1t
has a flavor of old New England and
yet a pungency as Of the south and
middle west. 1t is mild, palataDlc,
nourishing and promotive of good fel-
lowship and long life"
