Vermont Apple Farm.

With his crop of apples for this
year sold for $4,000, one farmer at
Charlotte, VT, reads the accounts of
Western apple fevers with complacen-
cy. He has only a 100-acre farm.
Some OF that is not set to apple trees.
He has employed sixty men this fall
picking the 5000 barrels of apples.
Thousands of people have ridden to
Charlotte in the past few weeks to
see the immense orchards of Charles
T Holmes there, near the shore OF
Lake Champlain, and it is place Of
beauty that improves the scenery
about the lake. Still, it is only an
ordinary farm. The elder Holmes
began planting apple trees forty years
ago and his son is getting the best Of
the yield, though there has been an
income for years. Each tree is at
tended to and fertilized as though it
were a prize beauty. Men from the
West have offered Mr.. Holmes $780,
600 for that farm to sell again. New
England would be richer if all the
farms were bearing that class in value
because of definite work in produc-
tion.-Worcester Telegram.

OUR DONKEY DANDY.

Our uncle has just given us love-
ly little donkey. He is gray, and has
a black stripe from the forehead
down to the very end of his tail, and
another stripe across his shoulders.
He is two years old and has never
been trained. My brothers and I
have ridden him when some one was
leading him, as he won't steer at all
yet.
He was tied to a stake in back OF
the house and my brother went to
pat him, and as he came away the
donkey DANDY put his feet on Don
AIDS shoulders and knocked him
down-trying, 1 suppose, to get an
apple Donald had. No harm was
done and Donald crawled out from
between his legs and ran away
One day when he was being led
past the front of the house he took a
sudden idea that he wanted compan-
ionship and thought the house was
tie place to find it, SO he quickly
walked up the steps and looked in the
windows. When he was through he
jumped to the ground again and went
on to the tub to get a drink.-Molly
Hart, in the New York Tribune.

They Considered it.

In Illinois there is an old law on
the statute books to the effect that
in criminal cases the jury is Judge
of the law as we'll as of the facts"
Though not often quoted, once in a
while a lawyer with desperate case
makes use of it. In one case the
Judge instructed the jury that it was
to Judge the law as we'll as the facts,
but added that it was not to judge
of the law unless it was fully salts
fed that it knew more law than the
Judge. An outrageous verdict was
brought in, contrary to all instruc-
tions of the court, who felt called
upon to rebuke the jury. At last one
old farmer arose. 'Jedge," said he,
weren't we to jedge the law as well
as the facts?" "Certainly," was the
response; hut I told you not to
Judge the law unless you were clear
ly satisfied that you knew the law
better than l did well, Jedge, )"
answered the farmer, as he shifted
his quid, I'VE considered that pint. !"

LITTLE DOCTOR PHIL.

"Say, mamma it just makes me sick
to see the poor stray cats about the
streets and to know that the boys
mistreat them so cruelty" So spoke
little Phil Downs to his mother one
evening on coming home from school,
"And I'm wondering if something
cannot be done for the poor dumb
creatures that have such battle for
life in a heartless CITY,"
Of course, Phil's mother was eager
to encourage her little son in his de-
sire to do something for creatures in
distress. I'VE might open a hospital
for them," she said. 81 had not
thought of it before, but now that
you bring the matter to my attention
I feel it would be worse than wicked
for NE to turn a deaf ear to the walls
of the poor starving cats, so to speak.
And we might not only do something
for the homeless cats, but for Phil as
we'll"

thing except for a feeling of content
ment after being of assistance to the
hapless creatures of the streets that
are at the mercy of cold, starvation
and wicked boys"
"Well, I'll explain my meaning
after a WHILE" said Mrs. Downs.
"But now we must do some planning
Let's see, where could we make a
suitable hospital for our cats, any,
way?"
We've no use for the old stable, p"
said Phil, 'since we sold the horse
and carriage in order to get an auto.
Papa said the other day that he
meant to sell the stable for whatever
he could get for it, as he didn't want
it taking up the room on the grounds
But while we are waiting for the sale
to take place we might use the stable
for our cat hospital"
"a capital idea" said Mrs. Downs.
"And if we find good use for it papa
will allow us to keep it, am sure
Then trip was made to the stable
and the building was gone over care
fully. "You see, the place is roomy
enough to accommodate large num-
Der Of cats, and we'll have our man
John divide both the first floor and
the loft by wire partitions. We shall
have to keep the cats apart for few
days-those that show a disposition
to fight After they are well ac-
quainted they will live together on
friendly terms"
''And while John is fixing the par
titions I'll be bringing in the stray
cats" said Phil. 'I'll make a trip
about the streets every evening after
school and pick up a cat and carry it
home in a basket. After the place is
full, what shall we do?"
Mrs. Downs smiled. ''Wait till we
have the place full" she said. We'll
find solution to the problem of over
crowding our. hospital.
Put why should we call it a hos
pital, mammal" asked Phil Why
don't we call it an asylum for home
less cats?"
'Well, most of the cats you will
bring here will be in need of hospital
attention. They will be starved,
some of them i'll from hurts and cold,
and none in a perfectly healthy con-
dition."
You are right, mamma agreed
Phil "It will be a cat hospital"
"And you will be the doctor-Doc-
tor Phil" said Mrs. Downs. "Asd a
better or more sympathetic doctor
than my little Phil has never yet been
found" .--~~-

compromising Southerner Mrs. Goran

compromising Southerner Mrs. Goran
was, he said to her:
MRS. Goran, owe you debt of
gratitude, for you have unconscious
1y done me great service. You
have saved my campaign papers. All
the documents General Van Dorm
wished were in the drawer in my
wife's dresser
Mrs. Goran's womanly impulse,
which prompted her to shield the
wife of a generous foe, and Van
Dorn's chivalrous Difference to her
wishes, had injured the cause for
which they were willing to give their
lives; but both acts were typical Of
the high-bred courtesy of the South
of that day.
1t is pleasant to add that General
Grant paid his "debt of gratitude" in
the Coin of kindness. When he left
Holly Springs he gave Mrs. Goran
protection papers, which are still in
possession of her eldest son. Several
times thereafter the house was fired
by Union soldiers, but the fire was
always quickly extinguished when
Grants orders were exhibited.

CHIVALRY IN THE OLD SOUTH.

CHIVALRY IN THE OLD SOUTH.
In 1862, when General Grant en-
tered Holly Springs, which from 1851
to 1865 was alternately in the hands
of the Federal forces and the Con-
federates, he arranged to make his
private residence in one of the beau
tiful homes in that little city of
north Mississippi He might have
occupied the house by force of arms;
but instead of doing so, says writer
in the Memphis Commercial Appeal,
he wrote courteous note to Mrs.
Pugh Goran, who had the place in
charge, asking the favor of board for
himself, Mrs. Grant, several Of their
children, and large military family
which included officers of his staff
and their wives
During General Grants occupan-
cy, but while he was absent on
brief visit, General Earl Van Dorm
made a raid into Holly Springs, de-
stroying commissary, ordnance and
quartermaster' stores, and other
army supplies concentrated there,
and thus defeated temporarily the
purpose of the Federal commander,
the onward march of whose conquer
ing army through Mississippi had
Vicksburg as its objective point.
Failing to find General Grants Of
fetal papers at his official headquar-
ters, General Van Dorm and some Of
mis- followers dashed down to Grants
private quarters, intending to search
his apartments. The Confederates
entered the house and mounted the
stairway, but at the head OF the
stairs Mrs. Goran, who was a beau
tiful Southern woman of the finest
type, met them.
General" she gently said, II en-
treat you not to enter Mrs. Grants
bedroom. Such an intrusion would
do for vandals, but not for Southern
soldiers -

usual practice of war to leave the
rooms unsearched However, we

Il twinkle in his eyes, 'that the doc

down the stairway and left the prem

HAWK AND SPARROW.

All but one of the players stand
in circle clasping each others hands,
which are held out at arms length.
The one outside the circle is the SPAR

in the circle. The one touched be-

the sparrow until he catches him.
The sparrow can only run around the
circle and in and out under the arms
of the players in the ring. The hawk
must follow under the arms of the
same players. When the sparrow is
caught he takes his place in the cir
Gle and the hawk becomes the SPAR
row for the next game.-Washington

WOMAN BEAR HUNTER.

Mrs. Addie Walker, prepossess-
fng little woman of Rifle, not only
killed a large bear recently with
bullet from a weapon in her own
hands, but she risked her life in an
attempt to prevent the bear from
killing one of her favorite bear dogs.
The battle between bruin and the
plucky Mrs. Walker occurred on
Mann Creek, near Rifle, and in the
section where Colonel Roosevelt
hunted bear and mountain lion four
years ago. Fred Tolland, the guide,
had shown Mrs. Walker where bear
might be found and had loaned the
Tolland and league bear dogs to her
for the purpose of cornering the ami
NAL. She did get the big brute in
a corner and thought she had ended
his troubles as we'll as those of the
dogs when she sent bullet into his
body at the point of the shoulder.
Instead of calming the animal, as
she thought it would, it enraged him
and a two-hour chase behind the
dogs and the bear through the down
timber and jungles found the bear in
the centre of the creek, where the
water is probably two or three feet
deep at this season of the year.
The dogs apparently reasoned that
he would be- easily subdued in the
water, for they plunged headlong in
after him. The bear lost no time in
graphing the first one, which, by the
way, happened to be the favorite of
the huntress. He grabbed the canine
in his huge arms, hugged him with
the affection peculiar to the type OF
bruin. and then began to show addi-
tional affection by whipping the
stream with him in about the same
manner the successful fisherman
would whip a stream for trout.
This not only angered the dog but
it was more than Mrs. Walker could
endure. She could not shoot because
the bear was so active in his oper-
ations that it was difficult to deter
mine in the confusion which was the
bear and which was the dog.
She hesitated only moment and
then leaned over the cliff, which is
about fifteen feet above the under
brush at the bank of the creek.
Alighting squarely on her feet she
plunged into the edge of the water,
and in doing so her display of cour-
age evidently attracted the attention
of the bear, for he discontinued op-
erations with the dog, reared up to
height of six feet above the water
and began to show the same signs of
affection he had when the dog in
truded into the stream.
This gave Mrs. Walker an excel
lent opportunity to display her skill,
and standing in water over a foot in
depth she directed a bullet to point
exactly between the eyes of the big
brute and he fell over in the creek
the battle ended
After getting him out it was found
that he was of the black bear species

him up he was confronted by big

was a small Fapling. Mrs. Bruin

broke.
