10 cents yesterday at Uncle Sam q

a horticultural. Hero.

Many years ago a man was wan.
dering around in the Massachusetts
woods with an apparently aimless
step and careless vision. He was,
however, a close observer and had
the Ben Franklin eve for the prac-
tical and useful. He was not with
out appreciation of the beauties of
nature, enjoyed the foliage and
flowers that appeared before him
and listened with pleasure TO the
songs of the birds. The Yankee in
stinct to look for something that
would bring profit was nevertheless
predominant, and under it's guidance
be found a grapevine. II was Just
wild, struggling thing. creeping
up the tall oaks or choking the pas
sageway between the dogwoods and
redbuds; the fruit it bore was acid
and gave little promise of CONNER
cial value. The wayside wanderer,
however, dug it up and transplanted
it TO his yard. 1t was nursed ten
derly, cultivated with care and, like
all things in animated nature. even
tually responded to kind treatment.
BY and by the wild vine was bear.
ing delicious grapes, With a flavor
all their own and fecun dity that
ranked il above all known varieties.
This vine, planted some seventy.
five.or eighty years ago. is still
growing and is celebrated all over
the world as the father OF the Con
cord grape.
Now il is proposed to erect a
monument to the man who discover
ed and planted this bearer of good
gifts. An humble man with home
ly name, nothing was farther from
the dreams of Ephrsim Bull than
the obtaining Of fame. he was not
conscious that he possessed the ele-
ments OF greatness, but meekly did
the little duty that lay next to his
hand. did it well. enjoyed doing il.
got his rich reward in the grapes he
grew and lived and died content.
Not much of the popular hero about
plain old Ephraim Bull. His CON-
ings and goiugs were attended by
no brass band; he excited no cheers
and no press agents glowingly de-
picted him in print. And yet this
Ephraim Bull was one of the great
est, because one OF the most useful,
men that the world has known.
Compared with him the noisily ador-
ed heroes of war and state craft are
but glistening tinsel beside the dull,
true gold. The statesman may de-
vote his life to a principle which be-
fore his generation passes proves to
be false. The resplendent hero OF

While monument Of marble may
beautify Concord and possess artis-

OF Ephraim Bull. His own grape
vine does that far beyond the feeble
power of man to oimitate. Long after
the stone has crumbled, when the
corroding tooth of time has eaten
up the brass ornaments. when the
very pedestal is but a pile OF sand
there will be abundant monuments
to Bull not made by mortal hands.
In every arbor, on every farm, by
the borders OF the garden, in the

for they are modelled by Nature her
self. They curve in graceful W wreaths
around the trellis or the tree; they
make hedges through the vineyard
in thousands OF rows filed with
clusters which produce the nectar
that Jupiter sips. Nor do they per-
ish with the seasons, as is the case
with all the works of man. They
are perennial. blooming with the
regularity of the earth S revolutions,
never failing, meyer disappointing
suggestive of peace and plenty, EN-.
blems of agricultural prosperity and
homely happiness. No shaft by the
cunningest sculptor, no column,
however skillfully rounded, can
equal in grace and beauty the trail
ing grapevines which through all
the ages shall silently sing the
praises Of him who rescued them
from obscurity TO bless mankind and
teach them the lesson of "a real bene.

Through the courtesy of Stephen Warehouse, one. of the. oldest men in Washington, and man of keen in- tellectual vigor and sound business knowledge, THE BEE prints, this week, an interesting historical document, a copy of the original survey of the old Woodbury and Washington Turnpike. Jonathan Farrand was the last man to work this highway under the turnpike company, MT Warehouse says, the toll houses being located where Simeon Johnson now lives and in the white house north of Thomas Galpin's place, just above Hotchkissville. The Turn pike Go. stopped doing business about 1850, MT Morehouse says. MT More house secured the copy of the survey of Harmon Eastman of Roxbury, the father of the late Judge Eastman.
