Her Congratulations

From the Youths Companion.
 If Alan Fairlee had had any detractors-. and he had none-had carping criticism ever dared to raise its head. it might have been suggested that he was just a wee bit too perfect.
 As 1t was he was young, handsome, with a fair income and very good temper And now Dorothy Fowler, engaged to this paragon nearly a week. was sitting at her desk, busy sorting out and answering notes of congratulations. Everybody she met had seemed to murmur, Such v splendid fellow, dear! You're so fortun- ater' until she was beginning to feel q very small and unworthy person, indeed. | She took up her Aunt Maria's letter with weary sigh she knew what to expect Aunt Maria was plain spoken by naturei also she believed in the pitfalls that iay ready for every young persons feet, and what she thought she wrote. But her let- ter ended with the now almost too familiaN phrase:
 Marriage is lottery. my dear, but you have drawn a prize, and I do hope you will know how to appreciate him ~prop- erly."
 A little hastily Dorothy broke open the seal of her cousin Grace's note-Grace ana she had been chums since the world be- gan for both of then--and ran her eye along the even lines.
 Dear Old Dolly: All my congratula- tons, of coursei Your usual luck, my child, for he's dear-I don't need to tell you that-good- looking, with future and such lots of money. You'll be quite grand"
 F Dorothy laid down her letter. She was very much in love with Alan; she knew and honestly valued all his good qualities; but-could not some one just once say somthing nice about her?
 The door opened suddenly, and Emily Jennings, little Emily, whom she had seen grow up and about whom she had never thought seriously. was shaking her gently by the shoulders.
 "Tve just come back; I've just heard of it. Oh Dorothy, dear I do think he's the lucksest fellow in all the world! wish I could say what feel tell things 70 badly, you know" ~4i
 Dorothy drew the small, impulsive face very near her own.
 .'Emily' she said. tremulously It's it's the very incest congratulation that's been talven me-"

through that whole range. running from New England as far south as Georgia. There are fine apple lands in the Alleghenies and thousands of acres of trees are now being set out in different parts of the Blue Ridge In Albemarle county, about Charlottes- ville where Thomas Jefferson lived they raise the famous Albemarle pip pins, which bring from s5 to $1o bar rel the greater part of them being shipped to England. That was the fa- vorite apple of Queen Victoria. King Edward ate it before going to bed and Fling George has been brought up upon 1t. They are now using Albemarle pip pins In Windsor palace, and I have bought them in Covent Garden market at something like a shilling a pound. This apple is fastidious as to soil and climate. It grows best in the coves of the mountains and of late it has been thriving in the Shenandoah valley. I know of men there who are netting from s10, 900 to $20,0o0 year from their pippin trees and there are numerous farmers who make more out of their orchards than from wheat, corn or live stock.
 In the Valley of Virginia
 Another favorite apple is the York i'm perial, and others are the Grimes golden, wine saps and mammoth black twigs. Take Frederick county, Virginia, of which Winchester is the capital The apple in dustry there is in it's beginning, but they are setting out trees by the hundreds of thousands and lands are jumping in value. The country is only about six years old as a marketing region. It was in 1895 or 1903 that the commercial or chards began to bear Since then the bank deposits have trebled and this last fall that county alone shipped about a million bushels of apples. The apple lanos are far cheaper than those of the west, selling for from s75 to $20s per acre. the latter price being usually for land OH which trees have been planted.
 The same might be said of an extensive region of apple country in the mountains of West Virginia, where large orchards have been set out and from where annual shipments of many carloads are made. There are big orchards in western Mary land. and In southern Pennsylvania, re-

Pussy Summer Boarders

From Youths Companion.
 Early in the season man applied at a farm house for board, but the farmer slowly shook his head. 'Id be glad to keep you" he said. "but city people are too hard to please"
 q am not at all exacting," the applicant replied You will find no difficulty in pleasing me-
 That's what the last man who came along here said. but 1t wasn't so Fact Is. nothing pleased him. First he com plained about sleeping in bed with q hired man. and when we give him bed to himself in roof with four of the chil- dren he was s.i:i d.ssaisne1
 Then he didn't like to use the towel we all used. and he wanted a wash basin In his room, Nothing suited him at all don't know whether you would be so hara to please or not"
 Well" the city man said, perhaps rl better not chance it.r

gions in which thousands of trees are now being planted.
 Money in Southern Orchards The profits of the. southern orchards are so far nothing like those of the far west, but the scientific fruit men tell me that the lands in many of the eastern sections are just as suited to apples and that proper cultivation, spraying, packing ana marketing should make them pay quite as we'll Many of the western fruit grow CTS realize this, and know personally a number of orchardists who have sold out their lands in Washington and Idaho anu are now buying southern lands and set ting them out. One such man recently bought over 200 acres right on the rail road within half mile or so of the fine old town of Leesburg. He paid some thing like $50 or $60 an acre, and he ex- poets to raise as good apples within about 40 miles of the national capital as can be raised in Colorado or Washing ton. That man bought apple lands in Ore eon for $3Go an acre and sold them for s7O0 Another young fellow of the Lees burg neighborhood has bought $50 acres upon which he is starting with an orchard of 5000 trees, one-half of the profits of which he expects to give to foreign mis- sions.
 What One Girl Did
 There is an Albemarle pippin orchard on the Fairfax estate, formerly owned by President Monroe, that is paying exceed
 ngly well, and near there is little or chard of less than 600 trees which has been so well managed by a young lady farmer that it Is an object lesson for miles around. In the latter case the trees were set out in 1890, 21 years ago, and 1t was 16 years after that before they be- gan to give crops commercially profit able. One can plant 600 trees on 1e acres of ground and have room to spare This is what that girl did with her trees In 1866 her net profits were sl612 in 1907. sS62 in 1908, $1227 in 1909, s32is, and in 1910 she had gross receipts of over $5000 yield ing her a net profit of $3S62. Moreover. her trees have begun to show what they will do and there is no reason why her crop should not be greatly increased as the years go on.

recruit his favorite play. The hardest
thing a first saclSer has to do is to set
a thrown ball that comes a little wild
and inside the bag toward the plate.
The base runner as rule can knock
the ball from the hand of the first
sacker and be called safe; but the peer
less leader has little scheme so that
he is in no danger of losing the bail
and in no danger of being run into.
He puts one foot on the sack and then
steps back into foul territory as far as
he can. He is way out of the reach
of the base runner and can take the
throw at his leisure.
