This is n story OF a modern Ulysses
q frontier hero OF many wanderlngs,
who died without receiving the fame
which was his due. man whose sery-
Ice TO America has been but lately
appreciated by his countrymen. Jede.
dlah Strong Smith was his name, and
his contribution to history was the
rrst accurate mapping OF the great
West.
Smith was born Ia New York ia
1893. As boy he played with the
young Seneca Indians OF Chief Corn
planters tribe, aud learned their lore.
He became an expert with the bow
and arrow, which he afterward car
ried on all OF his expeditions. Once
he brought down q hawk iying about
rs yards above him. and he could
drive shaft TO the heart of a buf-
faio as skIllfully as any Indian hunter.
In years OF wandering Smith
crossed the western country on the
south from the Colorado river to the
Pacific; he crossed II midway from
the Rockies TO the Pacific. and he
traversed IL on the north from Call
fornia 10 the Rockies. He visited all
the Important streams from Arizona
10 the Yellowstone country, and he
made accurate notes OF all he saw.
This Information was used In correct
Ing the unreliable maps OF the day
and proved OF inestlmabe value 20

The quarrel ended In challenge.

Jim had been drinking heavily and
their aim WAS unsteady.
Then the dueiists retired 10 their
rooms, ioaded their guns agaln and,
taking another drink TO keep up their
courage, they opened fire once more.
The bullets few Wild. For several
hours the duel continued, each man
becoming more unsteady all the time.
At hast. hDdlng themselves unable to
hit each other. they gave Il up In

tory ended.

WHO PLANTED ORCHARDS

Not all OF the great scouts were In

10 the life Of John Chapman or
Johnny Appleseed." Chapman never
killed an Indian In his life. but he
probably saved az many white men
from death nj their hands as wetzel
did.
Chapman first appeared on the Ohio
frontier In 1905 He came floating
down the Ohio river In q canoe. tow
ing another, and both boats were load
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills Of Pennsylvania. His purpose
was 10 plant the seeds In the wilder
ness so that orchards would be started
for the settlers when they arrived
there 10 make their homes.
For the next 80 years he went every
where up and down the Ohio country,
planting seeds. going from one orchard
10 another. pruning and caring for the
young trees. He was welcome vis-
itor In the log cabins OF the settlers
for he always carried a Bible and
some books from which he would read
and preach 10 them before the blazing
freplaces In the evening.
Johnny practiced his teachings OF
humility and kindness. He never killed
anything for food. He carried kit
Of cooking utensils, including a mush
pan, which he sometimes wore as n
hat Usually he wore broad-brimmed
black hat, but a coffee sack with arm
holes cut In II 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 unharmed. for the fact
that Johnny never carried gun con.
vlnced them that he was under the
special protection OF the Manito.
During the War OF 1912 when the
British were overrunnlng the Ohio
country, Johnny Appleseed performed
his greatest service for his people. In
his wanderlngs among the tribes he
often learned OF their plans for at
tacks on the settlements. Where no
other white man could have gone,
Johnny passed In safety and more

settlers. giving them time 10 prepare
for defense before the red invaders
swept down upon them.
All this time Johnny Appleseed was
carrying out his cherished dream OF
making Ohio bloom with fruit trees
and many Of the finest orchards In
that state today owe their beginnings
tothis strange man. In his later years
Johnny left the country which he had
helped besutify and went TO live with
a relative in Fort Wayne. Ind. He
died In 1s47.
