HIS NAME is FORGOTTEN.

Man Who Started Apple Culture in the
West Was Something of a Vagabond.
The history Of the apple in the
United States Is almost contempora-
neous with the settlement Of the coun-
try. 1t is definitely known that the
first apple trees planted in America
were imported by the Dutch settle
ment at New York in 1914. Apple
trees were also known to have been
growing at Jamestown, Va, as early
as 1922. Until within the last half
century apples were grown almost
solely for cider-making, as is the case
to-day in France. AS hard cider will
produce drunkenness and a horrible
katzenjammer, William Penn advised
his colonists in Pennsylvania to cult
vate Indigenous fruits alone, as apples
were then used almost exclusively for
making cider or applejack-
Many of the orchards Of the pioneers
Of the middle west were grown from
seeds obtained in a peculiar way. Some
man whose name has been forgotten,
and who Is remembered only by the
appellation of "Apple-Seed Johnny"
Travelled through the west and scatter
ed among the settlers untold quantities
Of apple seeds. He gave them away
free Of charge and he was given a
hearty welcome at every, cabin door,
The last decade or two has shown
wonderful development Of the large
commercial apple orchards in the west
and the industry has now assumed
vast proportions. Apples, for instance
are exported to England and many
foreign countries. Apple cores from
the big drying establishments are pur
chased by eastern buyers and shipped
to France to be used in the adultera
ton of wines and champagne. A large
part of this champagne and wine is
shipped back to America in wine casks
| made at Poplar Bluff, Mo-, in the
| largest barrel factory in the world.

Developing an Old Land

In the Holy Land the Sublime Porte
has purchased all the railway conces-
sions Of foreigners except the French
concession of the Beirut-Damascus
lines, which is under negotiation.
His majesty has method in his prog
ress. He will gridiron all the Holy
Land with railways for his defenses,
but he will make the foreigners, the
tourists, pay the cost by inducing
travel in his domain.
So, too, American agricultural ma
chimes, steam plows and threshers, mo-
tor mills, ETC., are allowed to enter
and crush out the last vestige of the
methods of Father Abraham, in order
that immense crops may enrich the
royal revenues. Tourists who do not
hasten will see mighty little Of the
Holy Land as described in the books.
A Turkish sultan is in power who be-
heyes in great guns, great railways,
great labor saving machines, vast
crops and grand revenues for the royal
treasury.-Four-T News.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD
I'm this section Of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame
Back there is only one sure cure and
that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This be-
lief grows from such cases as that of
Mrs. M. L. Dawson of this place. She
tells the story herself as follows:
81 have suffered from rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
1 was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since I took DoGd's Kid
ney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full were it not that others are reporting
similar results daily. Kushequa is fast
arriving at verdict that "Dodd's KID
ney Pills are the one sure cure for
Rheumatism"

STAGE Fright and selr-Consciousnes.

Stage fright is an intense form of
self-consciousness, but the man who is
incapable Of stage fright lacks the SEN
sitive temperament to achieve great
power as an artist. The man who
overcomes stage fright by getting out
of his own way, and by letting the
character he is playing, or the music
he is interpreting work through him
as a clear, unselfish channel, receives
new power for his work in the pro-
portion that he shuns his own interfer-
ing selfishness.-Leslie's Monthly.
