SELECTING AnnIea-

Particular apples demand particular
places. 1t is a curious fact that out
OF al the many varieties we have to
select from there are only very few
that will do very well. that will brins
out the very best qualities Of their
fruit on any one farm. We find that
the regulations of all our leading fruit
districts have been built up largely on
the success Of one variety. Take the
Gravenstein; 1t has probably done
more for the reputation of the An.
napolis valley in Nova Scotia than any
other apple. And so Hubbardston In
the Hudson river valley, Northern Spy

mountain region in Pennsylvania and
Albemarle Pippin in the south noun
tain region of Virginia, says writer
in an exchange. Just one variety of
apple has built up the reputation of
each Of these different fruit districts.

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Practitioners Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
in the Dark.

Rev. Henry R. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and a large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits of
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli
ment, but which was put to him in
such a way that it left him In doubt
a. to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir. we do enjoy your
sermons SO much, they are so in
structive. Do you believe It, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

Many Pray for Pardons.

Governor Davidson is flooded with
appeals for pardons. The fact that 1t
is holiday season and that he is about
to retire as the chief executive of the
state apparently has inspired the hope
In the hearts Of many prisoners that
the governor might celebrate his re-
tIrement by making many pardons.
Many appeals are received by long
distance telephone and through the
mails. In not few instances a per
sonal friend of some prisoner calls
upon the chief executive. Governor
Davidson's desk is piled high with
pardon appeals, and if ne dropped all
other work he would be kept busy
reading documents relating stories OF
heart interest. In She majority OF
cases the appeals come from life

been given long terms.
