Apples at $2.5O-Others at $500
Rutland News.)

| NcWsJ
An apple story comes from Dorset
which illustrates great truth, as show
ing what might be the condition every
where throughout the state. An apple
buyer from the city went into that town
to buy quantity offruit and was direct
ed to Ernest Fl. West as man who knew
the apple situation. Mr.. West accom-
panied the man to various farms where
there were apples for sale and the fruit
was bought all the way from 81. rs to 81
| so a barrel. 1t was the average grade
OF apples put out by the average YER
mont farmer and the price was the aver
age price paid.
Concluding his negotiations, the apple
buyer asked Mr.. West himself if he did
not have some apples. He was told that
he had, but that the buyer would not
want them. Insisting, the buyer was
shown Mr.. Vests apples, and asked the
owner what he would take for them.
He was informed five dollars barrel"
'I'll take them, they are just what have
been looking for" was the quick reply.
MIR. West had raised his apples under
the same conditions that other farmers
had; the fruit were of the same varieties.
He had simply sprayed his trees, had
taken care of them, had graded his fruit
and they were topnotch quality, just as
the fruit of all of the rest of them would
be under the same treatment.
The proposition before the Vermont
orchardowner is plain one. 1T is SIM
ply as to whether he wants to get double
the price for his apples. 1t is up to every
one of them to decide the question for
himself

SOUNDING brass and tinl1ling cymbal,
~ He that made me sealed my ears,
And the pomp of gorgeous noises,
Waves of triumph, waves of tears,
THUNDERED empty round and past me,
Shattered, lost forevermore;
Ancient gold of pride and passion,
Wrecked like treasure on a shore.
PUT l saw her cheek and forehead
- Change, as at a spoken word,
And / saw her head uplifted
Like a lily to the Lord.
NAUGHT is lost, but all Transmitted,
~ Ears are sealed, yet eyes have seen;
Saw her smiles 20 soul, be worthyD,
Saw her tears 20 heart be cleanD.

r MET a woman on the way,
Her smile was sweet, her hair was
gray,
u Her dress was dear and nifty,
Her face breathed forth such rare
content,
I asked her what such radiance meant.
She said, "Sir, am fifty"
I knew somewhat the life of care
That dimmed her eye and grayed her hair,
l knew that she was thrifty.
thought of battles hardly won,
OF work from dawn till set of sun,
From twenty up to fifty.
And then thought of daughter fair,
And knew the love they both would share,
Till daughter, too, was fifty.
I thought me of her sturdy son,
Whose work in life was well begun,
And wished that were fifty.
If we could, like this woman dear,
With radiance crowned, give all good
cheer,
The years when we were fifty.
If we could see, through good work done,
Our lives prolonged in maid and son,
Dear God, we'd all be fifty!

MAGNANIMOUS.

TRUE worth is in being, not seeming,
l. IN doing each day that goes by
Jome little good, not in dreaming
OF great things to do by and by,
For whatever men say in blindness,
Or in spite of their fancies of youth,
There is nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
WE get back our mete as we measure;
w We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and feel pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow and
straight
For the children of men.

More important than any signif-

the actual effect they are almost sure

the Republican camp, between this
