TWO OF A KIND

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, while
driving his coach from London TO
Brighton one beautiful June morning,
talked to a compatriot about the New
York horse show.
81 remember country fair at New
castle,' he said, ''where the judges
decisions were not so uniformly unchal'
lenged as they at our horse show.
'sOnce an old farmer, hearing a de-
cision uncomplimentary to his favorite
COW, rushed into the ring, waving his
arms furiously and attacked the judges.
3" Why amt my COW first? why
ain It my COW first?' he shouted. What
are her faults, l d like to know?'
"One of the judges, approaching the
abusive contestant, answered dryly:
Her faults, my man, are some
what akin to your own. She lacks

ORIGIN OF THE JONATHAN APPLE

Not many people who grow or enjoy
the luscious Jonathan apple have any
idea of its origin and we want to give
the story in a few words; In 1873,
when tine Platte purchase was thrown
open to settlement, two Todd brothers
settled four miles north of st. Joseph
Mo. They were nurserymen from Ken
lucky and brought some apple seeds
along which they at once planted to
start a nursery in the new country. This
they did successfully and the second
year they brought out buds from their
Kentucky home which they grated into
the seedlings. These became the first
trees and We're sold to the settlers all
around the vicinity. There We're varie-
ties of Rambos Ben Davis, Rome Beau
ty, Genetons, and other popular sorts
of the time. In a few years they had
planted an orchard of their own.
In grating the Rambo buds on seed
lings and transplanting, one tree was
winter-killed below the graft, but was
left standing, as it threw its own
sprouts and was thrifty. When the
tree bore it was unlike the Rambo,
from which seed it spraug The father,
Jeptha, was for cutting it down, but
his boy, Jonathan, liked the flavor Lni
persuaded his father to allow the tree
to stand. This accidental sprout de
veloped the fine apple that we now call
the Jonathan and to our notion it is the
best allaround variety grown.-Field
and Farm.

TWO WAYS OF SAYING IT

There is a Persian story, % centuries
old, that one of the Magi came to a
king and said, 81 have read it in the
stars that all the members of your fam
lily shall die before your reign is hat
completed'' The king was so angry
that he had the fellow s head cut off.
A few days afterward another of the
Magi came and said, "Victory, o King!
1t has been revealed that your gracious
reign shall continue until all the mem
bers of your household have been gath
cred into the World of Light; and that
still you shall live and reign most glor
iously for a yet longer period.' The
king was so pleased that he made the
prophet ruler over great city.
They said precisely the same thing,
but they said it very differently.

WRONG SIDE OF THE FENCE

An office seeker was pleading for
votes at picnic adjoining the Osawato-
mie asylum grounds. "The trouble is
you farmers are not getting enough for
your products,' said he. "You are
entitled to get more.' Then turning
to bunch of laboring men from the
town, he said: Something must be
done to bring down the cost of living
to you. I promise to help make life
easier for you"
An insane man standing on the asy-
lum grounds over the fence from where
the spellbinder was holding forth took
a hand in the conversation.
"You expect to bring down the cost
of living to the laboring man in town
by raising the prices of farm pro-
ducts?'' he asked.
Well-er-that's the idea,'' replied
the spellbinder
"Better climb over this fence" said
the crazy man. You belong on this
side. kansas City journal.

uiated her upon her enterprise.
Will dogs be allowed in the build

Will children be barred?o
"No, indeed,'' was the quick reply,

ON CONCLUSIONS

1t doesn't pay to jump at eonclus-
ions Once we had dog that had
bad habit of jumping at conclusions
When he had no other animals con-
clusion to jump at he would go around
and round in a circle for an hour at a
time trying to reach his own conclusion
That puppy would wait until a COW
had gone past and then jump wildly at
her conclusion. AS is the custom OF
people similarly afflicted, once he
reached conclusion and hung to II
till he was kicked loose. AS usual also
with people of similar proclivities, he
was q dash gummed nuisance.
But one day that hasty pup jumped
at a big, thoughtful bay mules con
clusion, and the next day we had to gel
a brand new dog. The old one WASH 7

No; it does not pay to jump at con

and interrupting the rehearsal. "Halt

you to pull down your cuffs? Doesn t
