can be just as brown as brown can be.
That will mean that little Boys and lit
tie Girls can eat all they want, for as
long as the seeds are brown they can
never do any harm. And, you Apples.
you must be very sure that you turn
around and have the sun warm you
and make you bright and red
AS the old Apple Tree was talking,
l noticed that the Apples just grew a
little bit bigger, and redder and fatter,
and looked as though-oh-they were
so juicy and wonderful inside. l was
certain, too, that the little seeds were
growing browner every minute.
But still the Apple Tree didn't seem
satisfied. For he began to wave about
and scold a little bit more.
"'You see,' he continued, it's such
an honor for us. You know that on
the day we're ripe the Fairy Queen
brings all the little Fairies to admire
US, and they sit on the boughs and
wave about with us. And more that
that-you know the Apple that is ripe
first goes to the Fairy Queen and then
some more go to the little Fairies"
But said Nancy, Il should think
that if the Fairies ate all the apples
there would be none left for Grownups
and Boys and Girls"
NO" said Daddy, that doesn't hap
pen. It's a special scheme they have.
You see the old Apple Tree has a lot
Of Apples that the grown-ups can't see
that aye for the Fairies-and the Fairy
Queen is given one of the real Apples
for the Grownups as a special honor.
"The Fairies are too kind to take
away the Apples that real People like
to eat-and so the old Apple Tree has
arranged to have a great many more
that we can't see-they're called the
Apples of Fairyland.
And the Tree still went on talking.
81, too, am working hard. ! am
practicing my best bow to make to the
Fairy Queen when she arrives the first
lay all the Apples are ripe. She is to
come very, very early in the morning
while everyone else is sleeping. And
when the Children get up and find the
Apples are ripe SO quickly, won't they
be delighted!
Now. get around so Mr.. Sun will
help you along. He's the greatest help
in the world to us-such a dear old
soul,
"Of course that flattered Mr.. Sun SO
he helped still more, and just as l
could feel him shining down with all
his might woke up.
Il moved away from the Apple Tree
then-for it was no longer shady-the
Sun had come around and told me to
get up! But as ! walked away and
saw the Apple Tree waving around /
knew 1t was practlcing for its bow and
making the little Apples hurry up and
ripen."

Hughes from the moment the first
state-Alabama-was called upon. He
was given 949h; Roosevelt, 1914; Du,
Pont, 5; Weeks. g.; Lodge, Z, and La
Toilette, 3.
The nomination of Hughes came
after the Republicans had turned
down the proposal of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt that United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge be named as a
compromise candidate.
1t preceded by a few minutes the
the nomination Of Roosevelt by the
Progressive party national convention
in the Auditorium theater.
John NJ. Parker of Louisiana was
named by the Progressives as their
candidate for vice president.
BY the time New Jersey was called
on the roll of states, Hughes had

Nebraska was the next state to re-

Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indi-
