NAMING THE JONATHAN.
Story ct the Origin of the Name of Those
Well Known Apples.

} In 1897 when the Platte Purchase
was thrown open to settlement, the
Todd brothers settled four miles
north of st. Joseph, Mo. They were
nurserymen from Kentucky and
brought apple seeds along which
they at once planted to start nursery
in the new country This they did
successfully and the second year
brought them buds from their Ken
lucky home which they grated into
their seedlings. These became the
first trees and were sold to the set
tiers all about the vicinity. There
were varieties of Ramboes, Genitans
and other popular ones of the time.
In few years they had planted an
orchard of their own. In grating
Rambo buds on seedlings and trans
planting, one tree was winter killed
below the graft but was left stand
ing as it was a thrifty tree. When
the tree bore it was unlike the Ram
boas, from whose seed it sprang and
from whose bud it could have sprung
but for the winter killing. The fa-
Their, Jeptha, was for cutting it
down, but his boy, Jonathan, liked
the flavor and persuaded his father
to leave the tree standing. Mr.. Glib
bons was at the house, in fact help
ing at a saw mill for the elder Todd,
and at night after supper, Mr.. Todd !
asked some of the children to bring
up some apples for the hands to eat,
adding that they might bring up some
from Jonathan's tree. This was the
first one he ate Of this variety. Mr..
Todd had in the meantime found out
the virtue of the apple and had
grated hundreds of its buds into
and sold them to his trade.
This was in the fifties.
In the early seventies this same old
gentleman was making a display of
apples at a Kansas City fair. He
,ook, among others, some apples
rom his son Jonathan's tree and
meant to enter for premium fall
yariety. The secretary of course
lsked the variety, but Mr.. Todd told
lin he had never named it. The
secretary said of course he must
lave name for it or it could not be
uttered for premium. Mr.. Todd re-
,lied that he always called the tree {
jonathan as he had given the tree to
lis son by that name. That is all .

Mankind is nomadic. end while the
sweetest poetry in the language is in
spired by the old home, the monumen'
tai work in the world haS been accom-,
plished in the main by those who left
the parental roof to pursue elsewhere
the quest for fortune, fame and high
success Nevertheless the love for the
old home abides. The reunion of those
who remain and those who have de.

pulse OF any community in which such
a soulful event takes place. The pref
ty announcement was made by a news
paper in little New England town
which was about to celebrate its old

A little waif of news like that revives
