Speaker Cannon, Representative Taw

times in their lives that they were r. allg
scared, says the New York y orld
"Uncle Joe" told of AN experie .ce on
the prairies of Illinois in the early days
and said he guessed that was the occa-
sion when he wasPmore frightened than
on any other.
"Possibly so,' said Tawney, "but if
you were ever any worse scared than
you we're the other night when I raked
in that juicy jackpot with bobtail,
don't see how you survived to tell
about it,

an expert on appropriations could have

Past Nazareth and Across Cali
lee" by Rail.

The Hamidieh Hedjaz Railway re-
wives the sacred memories of the Holy
Land and also of the prophet Mahomet
Its real starting place is at Haifa, the
Mediterranean port under the lee OF
.convent-crowned Mt Carmel, where
Elijah gathered to him all Israel and
the prophets of Baal and confuted
their false gods by himself bringing
down lire from Heaven. Here, too, is
the brook sKishon where he slew the
priests of Baal. The railway route is
through the plain of Esdraelon, past
Nazareth and across Galilee and along
the sweet and tranquil waters of Lake
Tiberias with the Mount of Beatitudes
IN the background; through the canyon
Of the river; Hieromiax and up into the
cultivated plains of the Hauran the
scenes are still scriptural, except that
the uniformed boatmen of the excur.
sion companies and the steam launches
on the sea of Galilee have a moderniz.
ing effect which is not entirely atoned
for by the fishermen fishing from their
boats as in the time of the Saviour.
| took this journey starting on a black
winters morning and finding place in
the third class passenger coach among
the Bedouins, Arab pilgrims, Turkish
officials and army engineers, Syrian
traders, French train crew, dragomen,
and mail sacks. The promise of tourist
travel had not then become sufficiently
alluring to secure better accommoda-
tion. But though the car was uncom.
fortably crowded by the mix-up of the
Arabs and. Bedouins with their guns
and belts, their turbans, their striped
blankets Of black and white and their
tunics, they made room for the stranger
with all the formal courtesy of their
traditions The railway may trans
form the deseret; the railway coach
does not destroy the desert dweller's
sense of hospitality.
The maildistribution was primitive;
long waits of the train while the car
riers from beyond Lake Tiberious re-
ceived their packets, receipted for them
by aftixing their signet seals and ex.
changed gossip. There were packages
even newspaper bundles, and letters

Urge your readers to plant apple
trees. Especially the farmers plant fol

of the palate Have them in the cellar
SO the children can run to them daily
so the wife can have them for pies, fol
baking and for sauce. Did you ever
see an apple in any form that it was
not good, except rotten? The success
of apple growing in this section ought
not to carry one off his feet. Let no
one think that we can set out anything
that comes along and be sure of sue.
cess and that if it is good thing to
set out a few that 1t is better to set out
many. l doubt not that one having a
good locality can make a success OF
even a commercial orchard if he will
make it study, will give it care, con.
tining himself to a few we'll known
varieties; and if disaster overtakes him,
as it has at times in the past, hold up
his head and reset. We hope those
times are past, but they may not be-
But with the farmer, he cannot afford
to neglect to set an orchard for family
use and let it be ample. If he has more
than he wants and can't sell perhaps
some more unfortunate neighbor would
appreciate donation, if not they are
valuable even to feed hogs on so raise
them. There are legions of delicious

scan the winter varieties and plant but
lightly of each variety, but plant even

him put out few every year trying
and noting results. | am sure no crop
will pay him better in the long run.
If he is interested in grating let him
do some top working and raise some OF
the semi hardy winter varieties that
he can raise in this; way and get the
best. 1t is interesting and for home

and would we'll repay for all trouble. II
