AND "MR. FRoHMAN" MARCHED
super's Time Of JOY Cut Short When
His "star" Appeared on
the Scene.

e. II. .Sothern tells an amusing story
OF a super who was once in his en-
ploy.
Having parted with one OF the
members of the company In Chi
cago," said Mr.. Sothern, II took
into the fold a man who was act
ing a sort of leader Of supers. I
used to hear the people address him
as Doc,' and one day asked him
why he was entitled to this distinc-
ton. He said that he had at one
time worked in bicycle repair shop.
Shortly after, asked him one
evening, while was dressing after
the play, to take my little dog out
for walk. He did not return, and
az I passed barroom on my way
home, saw my dog sitting on a
chair. I entered and found the dog
was contemplating the actor who
was leaning on the bar with his
back to me. He was surrounded by
a dozen men who seemed to be treat
ing.
"As I stood watching the picture,
one of the treaters said, addressing
my friend: Really, Mr.. Frohman,
so you think you will not bring Mr.
Sothern to Chicago again. No, sir,
said the supposed Mr.. Frohman, this
town doesn't suit me! 1t amt no
good! My star can't play to more
than twenty or twenty-five thousand
a week here, and that don't do us no
good.
while his listeners stood open
mouthed at this idea of poor bust
ness, l called out: 'Smythe! The
glass fell from his hand, the dog
jumped off the chair, and MIR. Froh-
man. the great manager, followed me
into the street."

From the General.

Rear Admiral William H. Emory,
while attached to the navy yard, New

a mess attendant while at the islands.
The admiral was busilv engaged with
a large amount of official mail when
the mess attendant came in hurriedly
announcing: "A message from the gen.
eral, sab" General who?" inquired
the admiral. General Delibery, sab,
replied the innocent looking negro,
handing the admiral a general deliv'

Soldiers in Trenches and Hos
pitfalls to Get Fruit.
Growers and Dealers Plan 70 Send I'm
msnss Consignment Of Apples 70
Soldiers Of All Armies Now
At War.

Chicago.-Every soldier In the
trenches and hospitals in Europe will
De given an apple in the near future.
II plans now being worked out by
committee of the apple trade through
out the United States are successful.
1t IL proposed to have a vessel take
over big cargo of apples to be dis
tributed free under the auspices of the
Red Cross, and efforts will be made to
get President Wilson and Secretary
OF State Lansing to have the several
warning governments permit safe pas
sage for portions of the big consign-
ment to the various fronts and hos
pitfalls where the fruit can be placed
IN the hands of the Red Cross for dis
tribution. especially among the sick
and wounded.
Apple growers and dealers who are
endeavoring to send over the big con-
signment have learned that many of
the fighting men are suffering because
OF lack Of fruit juices, giving rise to
scurvy and other disorders. Returning
surgeons who have seen service in the
European hospitals are said to ap-
prove heartily the plan to provide
more Fruit juices not only among the
wounded but also for the men in the
trenches.
We are working on this undertak-
ing purely from humanitarian mo-
tives." said one of the committee who
IL leading Wholesale apple distrib-
utor. IT'S going to cost q lot of money
for the fruit alone, and we shall call
upon all the people engaged in the
apple industry to contribute q portion
OF the expense. At first the trade did
not take kindly to the plan. as it was
feared that vessels could not be found
to carry over the apples. Then the
idea was conceived of chartering q
ship which would take nothing but ap-
Pies. and we believe that when the
purpose is disclosed to foreign govern
ments none will oppose free passage
of our ship. for it will go on q mission
Of charity"
A local apple man who has interest
ed himself in the matter, and who has
figured out how 1t can be done, says:
1T Is q big proposition and will re-
Quire skillful handling, but it can be
done. The value of the fruit alone
would approximate about 100000
aboard ship at New York. We under
stand that there are about 25,000.0 900
men actively engaged in the various
armies and navies In the European
war. and probably as many more indi-
rectly involved. To give them all an
American apple apiece would mean at
least $4,000. 900. and taking 500 apples
to the barrel, which would mean me-
dium-sizeffruit, we shall have to pro-
vide 100000 barrels or 100000 boxes.

David McCallum passed by an equine

Struck by the queer actions of the

recognized a mare which he as a farm
lad had raised but which he had not
seen in more than eight years. Those
who happened to see the occurrence
say the recognition by the animal was
unmistakable.

Mr.. Fisher was 80 years old this

married to Miss Sarah Crane five years
later. They came to Montrose town
ship 40 years ago and settled on farm
outside the village. When the Civil
war broke out he joined Co. B, 23d
Michigan Inf. and was in service three
and one-half years. His wife died in
1891. Five years ago he again married
Mrs, Arabel Payne and since then has

Beans! Beans! Beans! Who's

Unless all signs fail, beans will be
beans again this year, and if the farm
eIs are wise in their day and genera
ton, they will plow deep while the
siuggard sleeps, and plant a double
acreage of little white beans. True,
everything in connection with the bean
deal last year was disappointing and
discouraging-except the price. The
long continued spell of wet weather
raised hob with the crop, and many
farmers decided last September that
they would never grow another acre of
beans-and many there are who will
still foolshly stick to this decision. In
my humble opinion it will be found that
half the troubles with anthracnose can
be eliminated. if we have an ordinary
season-and that is the kind of season
we have ordered No matter what the
buyers may tell you, there are mighty
few beans to be had anywhere at any

Telephone Forty Years Old

In commemoration of the birth of the
telephone and its first use in Boston
forty years ago, two tablets were UNI
yelled in that city March 18th by Pro-
fessor Alexander Graham Bell, the in
ventor. The first tablet was set in a
building on Court Street, where Pro-
fessor Bell conceived the idea of trans
mission of the human voice over wire.
The tablet bears the inscription:
''Here the telephone was born June
2, 1876"
The other tablet has been placed on a
building on Exeter place, from which
Professor Bell transmitted the first
complete and ineligible message to
Thomas A. Watson, March 10, 1876.
Professor Bells words were:
Watson, please come here, want
you"
The tablets were erected jointly by
the Bostonian society and the New
England Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany.
From the feeble beginnings recorded
above. the use of the telephone has
grown until there are now more than
nine million telephones in use in connec-
ton with the Bell System in the United
States alone and the number of tele-
phone messages in this country exceed
twenty-six millions daily.
Probably no invention in the history
of the world has shown such tremen-
dous growth.
