said:

Asiatic labor

years Of precedent to guide my action.
Nor would the Kaiser strike us in
the back but would meet us on lever
ground on even terms. But we cannot
tell what this new nation will do. We
must be patient, and | will endeavor to
negotiate treaty with Japan under
which Japan viii herself hold back her
people from our continent"
TOXIC, Feb. l2.-Lengthy cables con-

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
BEGINNING ANEW

the most disreptaible part OF the city
very near his home-he was arrested
by the sound of singing. Just now
was a great revival season, and noon
services were being held in most OF
the churches.
Some feeling which he could not
throw off impelled him TO enter, and ne
sneaked into a seat by the door. He
was too wicked to be here, he mutter-
ed to himself-in a minute he, would be
moving on-but he would walt until
they had finished singing. His eyes
grew moist as he listened to the hymn.
How many times in his boyhood had
he heard his mother sing THE Ninety

and honorable. What would she say
If she could see him now? 1t would
break her heart, that he well knew.
The tears fell now upon the ragged
coat, and at that moment Pickert reg

as quickly the answer st won't make
no difference what he Says-or what he
does. I'm dead tired Of doing wrong"
He started to leave the church, but
he stopped suddenly, petriied with
amazement. The captain stood by the
door, When he had recovered himself
he walked up to him.
I'm through doing your dirty work,
he whispered hoarsely in his ear. You
can do what you want to mel don't

Pickert was astounded. What had

He had put his hand into his pocket
and as he finished speaking he thrust
something into Pickert's hand. Before
the latter had chance to say word
the captain turned on his heel and
walked away In the opposite direction.

For THE BEST PUBLIC SERVANTS

In the west they are discussing the
scarcity of real business men and of
the great captains of industry in pub
lie life, because q senator from Ne
vada affirmed that the executive work
of the government should be in the
hands of Americans who have achieved
great success like j. ]. Hill or our
own Mellen and the idea found inn
mediate opposition, and Tillman said
an emperor was necessary first before
the plan could be endorsed.
Nothing came Of the suggestion and
nothing is likely to come OF it for the
present, for it must be thoroughly dis
cussed and brought to the attention
of the Pc pie.
The Kansas City Journal declares
that the ablest and most capable men
in the nation should be in the nations
service. But as a consequence of dis
trust and suspicion taught by dema-
gogues the great corporations have al
most a monopoly of the best brains of
the country while the people must con
tent themselves, as a rule, with the
services of the second rsters, men of
mediocre ability who have never been
able to achieve any great measure of
success in their own affairs and who,
obviously. are unable to render any
better service for their country. This
is. manifestly. poor policy for the
people to pursue, They ought to have
the best public servants that can be
had and they would have them but
for this absurd prejudice which we
have alluded to and the picayunish
parsimOny which is practiced in pub
lie affairs, Of paying such poor sala-
ries that the best men cannot afford
to accept the offices. Uncle sam
should be at least as wise and alive
to his interests as the corporations,
which employ the ablest men to be
had and pay them adequate salaries
such agitation does no harm. The
people know what they want, and in
due time they win be very likely to

Johnny APRLEsEEp.


1t is probable that the trees credited
to John Applsseed were those planted
by the Jesuits.--From a popular article
on apples.
Poor Johnny Appleseed, an humble
missionary Of civilization. founder Of
scores upon scores of orchards, lover
of the wilds and the sky and the stars,
sorrows are yours, indeed, If needless
writer's seek now to rob you OF your
just famei Not the Jesuits, certainly,
would attempt to reduce you to a
myth, or anyone born and raised with
In the parts of Ohio where every
spring your trees cast their treasures
upon the gardens and every fall weight
down sthe branches with fruit.
Johnny Appleseed was very real
person, uncouth, careless and simple.
but indefatigable in the labor he inn
posed upon himself An old pioneer
OF Jefferson county described him to
Henry Howe. who wrote the Histori-
cal Collections of Ohio:
Johnny was going down the river
in 1906 with two canoes lashed to-
gether and well laden with appleseeds
which he had obtained at the cider
presses of western Pennsylvania.
Sometimes he carried a bag or two
OF seeds on an old horse. but more
frequently ne bore them on his back,
going from place to place on the wild
frontier; clearing little patch, sur
rounding it with a rude enclosure, and
planting seeds therein"
II was said Of Johnny that he could
not bring himself to kill or do injury
to any creature. An anecdote which
may be a mild exaggeration tells how,
as he was lying by his camp fire, he
noticed that the mosquitoes blew into
the flames and were burned. Johnny
rose and filing the tin utensil which
served him in turn as hat and mush
pot, quenched the fire.
Says Mr.. Howe This simple
hearted, virtuous, self-sacrfieing man
deserves enrolment in the calendar of
the ints."-Toledo Blade.
