STORIES ut BY Elmo
Scott
Great Scouts ws,on
q. Western Newspaper Union.
JOHNNY APPLESEED." SCOUT
. WHO PLANTED ORCHARDS

Not all of the great scouts were In
dian fighters. In contrast to the ca
reer Of Lewis Wetzel, who was some
thing of professional Indian killer,
is the life of John Chapman or
Johnny Appleseed." Chapman never
killed an Indian In his life, but he
probably saved as many white men
from death at their hands as Wetzel
did
Chapman first appeared on the Ohio
frontier in 1906. He came floating
down the Ohio river in canoe, tow
ing another, and both boats were load
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills of Pennsylvania. His purpose
was to plant the seeds in the wilde1-
for the settlers when they arrived
there TO make their homes.
For the next 80 years he went every
where up and down the Ohio country,
planting seeds, going from one orchard
to another, pruning and caring for the
young trees. He was welcome Wis
itor In the log cabins of the settlers
for he always carried Bible and
some books from which he would read
and preach to them before the blazing
fireplaces In the evening.
Johnny practiced his teachings OF
humility and kindness. He never killed
anything for food. He carried a kit
of cooking utensils, including a mush
pan, which he sometimes wore as
hat. Usually he wore a broad-brimmed
black hat, but a coffee sack with arm
holes cut in it was his only coat.
White men called him queer" for
he often went barefoot in winter as
well as in summer, but the Indians
said, "He has been touched by the
Great Spirit" He went everywhere
among them unframed, for the fact
that Johnny never carried a gun con-
WINGED them that he was under the
special protection of the Mantle.
During the War of 1912 when the
British were overrunning the Ohio |
country, Johnny Appleseed performed |
his greatest service for his people. In !
his wanderings among the tribes he |
often learned Of their plans for at |,
tacks on the settlements. Where no |
other white man could have gone, 1
Johnny passed in safety and more
than once he carried warnings to the
settlers, giving them time to prepare
FOR defense before the red invaders
swept down upon them.
All this time Johnny Appleseed was
out his cherished dream of
making Ohio bloom with fruit trees |
md many Of the finest orchards In
hat state today owe their beginnings
o this strange man. In his later years
Johnny left the country which he had
lelped beautify and went. to live with
relative In Fort Wayne, Ind. He
lied in 1847.

Acts Deaf to Escape Agents.

The young. housewife whose home
was in the suburban village was too
kind-hearted to turn away peddlers.
Gradually she acquired a great supply
Of things that she had bought but
didn't want. Her husband devised
remedy. "Jack told me to pretend
that l was deaf when agents Called"
she explained. 1--WE done it ever since
and they haven't been able to sell me
thing No peddler can put his sales
arguments across by writing his
speech out. After shouting at me for
a few seconds while 1 shake my head
they give it up in disgust and go to
the next house."
