Mr. LOrillard's IrOquOis. and his own

though Orby was by an English sire

Apple Tree Johnny Has Successor In
Nut Planting Hobo.

The story is told Of a Pennsylvania
tramp who in his ~wanderings up and
down on the earth carries his pockets
full of nuts, which he plants as he
goes. For three years he has followed
this practice, says the Virginia Pilot,
and during that time is said to have
planted thousands and thousands of
nuts, always seeking the out-of-the-way
spOts-rocky h. .ides and abandoned
lands at the edges of creeks and
streams-so that the chances OF the
trees being de royed before they
grow up and mature will be minimiz.
ed. This old tramp is doing something
more than guaranteeing the future
youth of Pennsylvania against the
loss Of the joy Of nutting. He is set
ting an example in tree planting which
the farmers throughout the land may
well follow with profit to themselves
and to the country. This nut-planting
tramp recalls another member of the
wandering tribes. He was known
throughout the country as Apple Tree
Johnny from his habit of planting ap.
pie seeds in fence corners and other
hooks. Many a wayside fruit tree 10
said to owe its existence to Apple Tree
Johnny.

BACK TO CANAL DAYS.

An index of the intense interest
which the business world is taking
in the utilization of the water ways
of the country is to be found in the
multiplicity of projects that are un-

canal routes, of which the Erie, up
or which the state of New York is
spending $1Oo,OOO,OO is an ex-

MAY FIND TREASURE SHIP
Fishermen While TRAVELLING Bring W
Wreckage Of British Vessel Sunk
in War Of 1872.

1t is thought the paymaster's
scuttled ship Ensign, which vas
sunk with her crew of 80 souls in
Chippewa bay, in the st. Lawrence,
near Brockville, during the war Of
1912, has been located by fishermen
near Dark island, the summer home
of Commodore F. C. Bourne, of New
York, says the Ottawa correspondent
of the New York Sun. The discov-
cry, if true, means great wealth for
the lucky finders
Odd pieces of ships rigging and
rope ends characteristic of 100 years
ago AID the cover of a sea chest with
the word Ensign laid in pearl have
come to light where the treasure ship
is supposed to lie.
The disco> cry was made lately
while two fishermen were out trawl-
ing. A heavy deep-sea lead was
taken along and between hauls the
lead wa sunk by the men to satisfy
their curiosity as to the depth of
water. The chest cover was brought
TO the surfa"e trailing two pieces of
rope and a broken bar.
A close inspection revealed the
nature of the junk and the fishermen
angled around for four hours with
out anything further coming up. A
later venture proved that the sunken
ship was lying in 100 fathoms Of
water.

For Sheriff.

To the Voters of Lafayette Parish:
I hereby announce myself as a can
didate for the Office of Sheriff of the
parish of Lafayette, subject to the
action of the white democratic voters
of the parish at the primary election
to be held January %, 1908.
If elected 1 pledge myself to donate
two thousand five hundred dollars
(25OO.OO) per annum to the public
schools of the parish. The announce
ment of my purpose to do this was at
first qualified by the provision that
| would donate this amount until the
Legislature enacted the laws necessary
to reduce the executive salaries OF
sheriffs. The legislature in special
session has recently enacted n law
which reduces in some these
these executive fees, but |
believe that the fees of the office as
fixed by that law are excessive and
under its provisions I still
pledge myself, if elected, to give the
sum of two thousand five hundred
dollars (25OO.O0) per annum to the
public schools of the parish.
l further pledge myself to the con-
scientious discharge of all the duties
of said Office and the thorough execu-
ton of all laws.
