THE STORY OF JOHNNY APPLE
SEED
(Columbia Dlspatch)


BY many Johnny Appleseed" is
regarded rs a myth The pioneer
work in Ohio that is attributed to him
seems such vagary that to them II
Is improbable that any rational person
could have engaged in it, Not so.
Such a man lived. and through a long
life established nurseries of apple
trees In the wilds Of Ohio, and cared
for them in a manner.
His zeal name was John Chapman.
He was born at or near Springfield
Mass. in 1775. lie died near Fort
Wayne. Ind, May II, 1S47. The grave
could not be identified now. for IL was
not marked. So much Is known def
initely Of him. Tradition has II that
an unfortunate ending OF love affair
led to his life OF celibacy and virtual
hermitage lie was Of deep religious
nature and felt that he had IA mission
III was to provide nurseries from
which the pioneers of the Ohio coun-
try could stock their farms when they
came.
1t was not wholly a labor OF love,
however, for he did accept eonsidera
tion for trees sometimes, though he
gave most OF them away. The little
that he received was sufficient TO
support him, living as he did in the
most primitive fashion. lie rarely
wore shoes. A coffee sack with open
ings cut for armholes served for a
coat. and when travelling a mush-pot
inverted over his head, served for a
hat He was a Swedenborgian, and
while he was not obtrusive with his
religious views. did missionary work
as occasion presented itself. He was
a strict vegetarian, and killed moth
ing.
In all wanderings through the In
dian wilds he never carried a weapon
of any kind and the Indians regarding
him as SORT OF medicine man never
molested him. He first visited Ohio
about 1900, and for some time lived
in Richmond county. In recognition
of this fact a monument to him has
been erected in the public park in
Mansfield dedicated with formal ex
ercises November s, 1900.
Weak from advancing years, Chap
man had set out on a twenty-mlie
walk TO protect a nursery into which
cattle were reported to have broken.
and on the way fell i'll at the house
OF William Worth near Fort Wayne
Pneumonia developed, and he died in
Worth's house.

While Thomas will he remembered
chiefly by this amazing farce. there
stands good round number of plays
To his credit. Some of them were
moderately successful, while others
We're flat failures.
/ The profession chosen for Thomas
by his parents was that Of civil en-
/ gineer. but he had little taste for this
and enlisted in the marines when he
was II years old This experience
was OF brief duration, however. az he
was promptly bought out and appren-
tIced IN shipbuilding company At
one stage of his career he seems to
have been a clerk-a position which
/ he lost through his violent attack up
on the American evangelists. Moody
and Sankey. In like manner he lost
position on n newspaper by publish
/ ing a speech which he had obtained
surreptitiously and which was never
delivered owing TO the illness OF the
speaker.
Made Debut With John Hare.
/ His taste and abilities pointed 10
the stage as the most suitable profess
sion for him A letter OF introduction
brought him into touch with the Ken
dals, who Offered him "A part In ''rhe
Queens shilling" which was about To
be produced by Sir John Hare at the
I old Court theater. There he re-
manned for some time gaining val
liable experience. After short trip
TO America he made his temperance
in London at the Princess in Henry
IIamiltons striking play Harvest"
But II was not until two years after
wards that his talents as an actor re-
ceived the recognition they deserved
through his pleasantly sympathetic
study OF Godfrey Wedderburn In Sir
Arthur Pinero's comedy Sweet Law
ender.' lie later appeared at the
Court theater IN pinero's "The Cab
met Minister" in which he made a
distinct hit.
These and other ventures in acting
ana playwrighting served their pur-
poses more or less effectively at the
time: but all his achievements pale
before the unprecedented success Of
the hilarious "Charley's Aunt" Inn

this piece, and everyone connected

NAY CURE ITSELF.

About the most hopeful thing that
has been said of the present war sit
uation was by the japanese premier
who expressed a hope that by the
very violence and destructiveness Of
this war there might he possibility
that war itself might be destroyed.
The nations may bee driven to see
that they are cutting their own
throuts, 50 to speak, and SO begin
to take measures 10 do away with
war itself OF this idea The Hague
and What 1t stands for was weak
beginning in an almost hopeless era,
hut It WAS beginning, nevertheless
and stil stands for an idea that may
yet bear fruit
The gloom and apprehension that
now hung over the minds Of The
peoples Of AN nations are not light
ened by the thought that the need
less slaughter. possibly of millions Of
men, ana the vast destruction Of
property as well. are due to the pas
alons and the folly of men themselves
aud are preycntable Yet the major
tg Of the people caught in this ca
tastrophe seem to be as helpless as
tine thousands who persisted on the
Titanic and the Empress OF ireland,
Also through the carelessness and
folly Of man.
Ia this age no one can say That
an accident like that of the Titanic
or situation such as the nations
now find themselves caught in is,
lether Of them due eto an act of
God, as the old jury verdict ran.
They are clearly due 20 the acts 81

In the meantime, stands also the
cid word Of doom that they who
take the sword must perish by the
sword. which remains true of ma
ltion, whether it win or lose.
We may we'll pray as lincoln

There recently died In London a
man who for the last twenty years
had made more persons laugh than
any other one man; and even after
his death he will continue TO throw
thousands into paroxysms of mlrth.
This man was Brandon Thomas. the
name itself 10 not familiar to the mil
Hons who have been amused by him,
Tor Il Is only as The author OF char
leys Aunt that Mr.. Thomas achieved
such widespread fame.
No other play has ever achieved
anything like the success enjoyed by
this famous farce which brought its
author fortune and which. after
more than twenty years, II still pop
uar. II has had more than three
hundred thousand performances.
When IT was first produced at the
Royalty theater In London II ran four
years. being played 1850 times con-
sccutively. This record has not been
surpassed By any play. II has been
played all over the world including
South America. China and Japan. and
has been translated into eighteen
languages. At least eight hundred ac-
tors and actresses have acted In the
play in England alone. And since w.
>. Penley first appeared IN the u.le
role there have been innumerable
charley's Aunts, including some Of
the most famous comedians on the
stage.
Thomas Also Played In IL.
/ Mr.. Thomas himself played the
part Of sir Francis Chesney when tho
play was first produced, December q,
l1Ss2. and he played the part at the
/ christmas revivals in London an
nualy until year or two ago.
Many STOKES have been told about
/ the origin OF "Charley's Aunt" But
this Is the account that Mr. Thomas
himself gave as to how II came to be
written:
At was in 1891 that Mr. Penley
asked me to write a play for him. II
happened that he had seen my one
act piece. 4 Highland Legacy Its
sentiment pleased him, and he sug-
gested that ! write him something on
similar lines. but with big ludicrous
