APPLE PIE.

Miss Adalena f.. Dyer, SOuln JOfl-
land, Me- stated that she felt it her
solemn duty to pen the following lines
when she read a dispatch stating that
the apple pie, pride of New England,
was being attacked by women attend
ing the Massachusetts Agricultural
College Convention at Amherst. At
that meeting one women had declared
that apple pie takes time to make and
is hard to digest"
The Maine woman who read that dis
patch was especially shocked to read
that the women in the audience APP
plauded that statement, whereupon she
took up her trusty typewriter and
wrote the following reply to the
Globe:
Arouse, New England! South and West
Are snatchng at your crown of
fame;
They'd steal the jewel from your
Which gives you your undying fame
With fire in heart and blood in eye
Defend your sacred apple pie.

Her poets, sages, men of state,
Her scientists lead everywhere.
In what does all her grandeur lie?
Truth boldly answers, Apple pie"
When Mother Eve snapped Paradise
For a few nod-heads gnarled and
small
In vision she saw apple pies
In close connection with the fall;
And when her man ate his first slice
OF pie he owned twas worth the price,
Now women say they're har to make;
Outside New England, this is true;
But here a ten-year-old can bake
a pie that's nectar through and
through
It's envy in health's Turing guise
That's out to massacre our pies.
O. woman! we have borne your whims,
Your jazz, your Knockers and bobbed
hair,
But this offense all others dims
And lays our bleeding heartstrings
bare.
We balk at losing PARADISE
Through lack, not gain of toothsome
pies.

If South and West must live on pap
We leave such weaklings to their fate;
We don't intrude or care snap;
At ninety we are young and spry;
You'n find the key in apple pie.
Hard to digestH On native heath
Age mumbles them with toothless
gums,
on them our infants cut their teeth,
And invalids leave naught but

To us is any kind of pie.

And by the Scriptures we abide;

Dear NJ. b. Friends:
A day or two ago, | received a call
from an old neighbor, Mrs. E., y
who some years past used to furnish
me with recipes and nice clippings
for the column. She passed me the
poem which is in the column this
week, and as we are approaching the
apple-pie season, it is very appropri-
ate at this time.
In the American Magazine for
August is an article by Merle Crowell
relating to John j. Carly, said to be
world leader in the scientific de-
velopment of the telephone Mr..
Carly tells this anecdote:
When I was schoolboy in Cam
/ bridge, Mass, dozen of us youngsters
We're out in a back lot one crisp De-
cember day. Some one suggested that
we try seeing who could walk the
straightest line in the fresh fallen
snow. We took turns, Each boy set
off slowly, keeping his eyes on his
feet and planting one shoe in front of
the other with extreme care. Every
line showed surprising deViations. The
last youth to attempt the stunt was a
little tow-headed chap whose family
had recently moved into the neighbour
hood. Striking off at twice the speed
of any of us he walked straight ahead
until he had made the longest line of
all,
How did you do it Dave?" l asked
him.
30. it was easy" he explained. You
fellows We're watching your feet every
step you took, fixed my eyes on that
tail pine out in the field, and walked
straight toward it,"
You have asked me how men ever
managed to achieve modern miracles
of science and industry. This anecdote
