Concerning Apple plea.

II you ask man what sort Of pie
he will take, and he hesitates mo-
ment. he is pretty sure to blurt out
apple. That. is always a sure thing.
Custard, lemon. peach, blackberry,
mince, all depend; there IL always
some doubt as to their manufacture
and the quality OF the concomitants:
but with apple pie it is not so. Apple
pie is itself; it reigns in its own right;
It suggests no doubts; 1t is always
safe. Therefore it will be gratifying
news that the apple crop this year is
+ bumper. There will be a yield OF
iO5,OOO,000 bushels. That will make
about sixty pies to every man, woman
and child in the country; and this will
give an ordinary piece of pie to every
tnha bitant every day in the year.
Was there ever a nation so highly
favored that it could have apple pie
for every person every day? Thus
nature and enterprise kindly and
bountifully minister to the taste Of all
the people.-Ohio State Journal.

Two Systems Compared.

A government, says writer In the
Twentieth Century Magazine, which
tells you how to carry your umbrella.
which forbids ladies who wear long
hatpins to enter railway trains. which
fines you if you throw cigar stubs or
papers on the street, which does not
permit your children to make a noise
80 that others are disturbed such .
government does restrict individual
liberty, but just as certainly It en-
larges the common liberties and pleas
nre of everybody. The government
thus eulogized is that of Germany,
which the writer quoted prefers to our
rgo-as-you-p1ease" system.
