BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

The figure of Jonathan Chapman,
whose story has just been told by
Eleanor Atkinson in her book, John
ny Appleseed," is so much a part of
the early frontier life of the Middle
West that it seems difficult to realize
that there may still be a few persons
alive who remember him. Only last
year a centenarian died in Ohio who
had known him, and who loved to
talk about the life and character of
the gentle Johnny Appleseed." Sew
eral societies ara now in existence
which are honoring the memory of
the man who made orchards of the
wilderness.
Elizabeth Jordan, author of MAY
Iverson's Career" recently received the

founding of st. Margaret's Free Hos
pital, now grown TO a beautiful, SYM
pathetic woman, goes back as nurse
to care for the cripples there. The
trustees decide to give up the in
durable ward. and the plea of the
nurse and the house surgeon to retain
it is in vain. Then the fairies play
their parts. From a bunch of prim-
roses one of the little 'incurables"
made a magic ring. How she trans
ported the rest of the children to the
Land of Hearts Desire, and how they
found there what each most longed
for; how the trustees had disturbing
dreams, and how the nurse and house
surgeon started on the road to Fairy
land is told with humor and pathos
in this grown-up fairy tale.

AN OBLIGING PASTOR

One of the wealthy members of a
fashionable church in Boston approch-
ed her pastor with the complaint that
she was greatly disturbed by one of
her neighbors.
IT'S positively unbearable" said she.
THAT man in the pew in front of us
destroys all my devotional and pious
feelings when he attempts to sing.

The good pastor was soreIy perplex-
ed. After a few moments reflection,
he said:
well, I naturally would feel a little
delicacy on that score, more especially
as | would have to give reason. But
! Will tell you what I might do" Here
the pastors face became illuminated
with a happy thought "I might ask
him to join the choir.''-Harper's Maga-
zine

Last night I had a frightful dream;
/ thought we had a war,
And all the land was bracinB up
To floods of fire and gore.
Musing on this went to stroll
Along the sandy shore.
And there I found a soldier lone,
His brow was knit with care;
And ever and anon he grabbed
And fumbled at his hair;
Yea, oftentimes he swore ana stamped
And ofttimes stamped and swore.
He was we'll set-up galoot
As any Jack or Jim;
His kit was clean, his eve was keen,
He's young and strong and slim.
He'd made a husky regiment
Had there been more of him.
Friend, why the tangoT'-thus I made
At converse mine essay.
He spat with fury on the sand
And threw a scowl my way,
"Aw, hell" said he, why, don't you see
am the U. S. Al"
''You. all alone?" Not quite" said he,
Though. honest. I'm some peach!
There's thirty thousand men to guard
From Maine TO Key West beach.
That figures to- calculate
About Ave miles per each.
.But that's not half our proud array!'
Ouoth he. "You don't know beans.
They slide the long Pacific coast
Mid California scenes.
They dog and bun the Sandwich Isles,
And FIJI the Philippines.
"These Mlishers when a crisis comes
Is mostly on the queer,
So ours is trippin' on their swords
And fallin on their ear,
And singin' patriotic songs,
And sendin' out for beer.
That's why we scanty regulars
Must hump ourselves to keep
Our five-mile sections of the coast;
We seldom feed or sleep.

TAFT AND WILSON

tFrom the Indianapolis News.1
Had Mr.. Taft been member of the
Wilson Cabinet, he could not have sup
shown greater confidence in him. For
tunately the support is due, and the
confidence deserved. The country,
therefore. is to be doubly congratulate
ed. For in Mr.. Wilson it has precisely
the sort of President that 1t should
have at such time as this, and in Mr..
fairly earned their gratitude and re-
spect by his wise and patriotic words
I'm these critical days. Both men are
ing the duties that their positions i'm
pose on them. A nation, like a man,
ought to be able to feel sense of out
rage and anger without at once rush
ing to arms. The war now raging in
Europe ought surely to have taught us
that lesson-as we believe 1t has.

AIN AFTER YEARS.

Weary and heavy laden,
Through the city's crowded streets,
Bent meath the weight of sorrow,
An aged woman creeps.
Once was her gray hair golden,
Now whitening with many SHOWS,
1.-the and erect that figure
And her cheek the blush OF a rose
Somebody loved and was happy
When the sweet eyes met his own,
But he went at the call of his country
And she has been left alone.
oh, youth with ambition teeming,
And maid so sweet and fair,
Brush not roughly past her,
Nor gaze with naughty air;
For a smile from your Joyous coun-
tenance,
And help to the faltering feet.
When the years have treated you thus
dear,
Will oft be a memory sweet.

WHERE THE LAW HITS A sNAG

IF it is true that at Erie twenty for
eigners employed on fishing boats
have been discharged at the order
of State fish warden since the act
prohibiting foreigners from fishing in
the waters the State became law. 1t is
altogether likely that trouble is in store
for both the law and the warden.
1t is one thing to discriminate
against the unnaturalized foreigner in
the matter of taking either game or
food fish for personal consumption,
but it is quite another thing to legis-
late him out of job on the pretext of
conserving natural resources for the
benefit of citizens.
Viewed from any angle. this kind of
legislation is contrary to the spirit of
broad federation and equal opportuni-
ties and blessings which has been the
boast of Pennsylvania since the days
of William Penn. and If it is going to
have the effect this report from Erie
