it was the only enc upon the tree and
it was the first apple this tree ever
bore. The apple is a rich red in color.
Mr.. Spaulding has several trees Of
this variety and in earlier years some
of them have been loaded with these
great apples. In shipping a barrel OF
them last year it took but Ia of them

A local critic says: w y. Patton
IS indeed peculiar comedian. lie
IS often compared with the late Sol
smith Russell frequently with Tim
Murphy and others of the droll lam
guage type, but he is pretty much
alone. however, for he is Just like
himself, and handles his plays with
an ease that is peculiarly his own,
and BY presenting such plays as
The Slow Poke he will increase
his popularity as long as he conti1l-
ues to. make US visits. To begin with
he writes them himself, and his man
ager does not spare expense to get q
good background in the shape Of
stage settings, which are not only
elaborate but appropriate, and the
supporting company is excellent.
There were times last night when
tears rolled down stern faces, when
tiny handkerchiefs found way to
dropping eyelids, and then just as
the faint flush OF shame at the
thought of tears, while real, came
from an unreal scene before them,
no, not unreal, but acted-Patton
would surprise you with something
that would change those tears to gilt
tering, sparkling beads of laughter,
and we were once again in the midst
of comedy, rich, rare, rolllicGing
comedy.
1t was clean and refined through
out, and the fun was innocent,
and instructive. 1t taught
a moral, and Patton was the teacher
