Man. "Risht." in 1881

"The point as 10 whether men can
be forced to work at fire, when they
are not firemen, is knotty one" COM
mented the Arkansas Gazette on Feb
ruary ID, 1881. "At the recent fire on
lower Markham street, several men
were arrested for refusing to pull on
a rope.
'If they had been asked to take
pull on a glass of beer, or on the riv-
er, it would not have been so insulting,
but when they were asked to take their
hands out of their pockets and actual
iy pull on a rope, all the pent-up prin-
ciples of American liberty and free
dom caused their bosoms to swell. No.
sir; the great American citizen does
not need to pull on ropes. What is
the good of being an American citizen
If we can't stand around and look at
fire without being forced to help save
another free American citizens prop
erty from destruction? Did we sever
our connection from England TO come
to this? We may stretch hemp, but
we will not pull on ropes"

"Johnny Appleseed"

John Chapman, who was born In
Springfield, Mass, in 1775, claimed that
his mission in life was to have apple
trees growing in the western wilder
ness when the settlers arrived. 1t is
believed that his first nursery was in
narrow valley along the Ohio river,
opposite what is now Wellsburg, w.
Va. 1t is estimated that he set out
more than 100 nurseries in the forests.
Many of the finest orchards in the
early days of Ohio and Indiana were
composed of trees bought from Johnny
Appleseed. He would dig the soil and
plant thousands of apples. peach and
pear seeds. When he had built fence
of brush around the spot to keep away
grazing animals he moved on, and the
arriving settlers would find and use
the trees they could buy for practical
ly nothing.

Fish to Tell Weather

Columbus, Ohio.-Warden P. E.
Thomas. who often sits in his office
at the Ohio penitentiary and gazes
absently at the antics of goldfish in a
huge bowl in the prison yard, has
reached certain conclusions about gold
fish and the weather.
He calls his fish bowl, the goldfish

Months of observation has brought
him to the conclusion that:
When the fish are on top of the pool
and scattered it's going to be good
weather and splendid for fishing.
When the fish are on top. but

When the fish are below the top and
scattered, cold weather is coming.
When the fish are below the surface

Salvaging Mail Matter

A great many letters would reach
the dead letter offices If there were
no postal directory service. How
effectively this service performs its
task is seen in the fact that during
the fiscal year ended June 80. 1929,
only 29.079.619 unbelievable letters
were received in all the dead letter
which the postmaster general points
with considerable pride. Consider
ing the billions of letters that are
handled by the post office each year
the New York post Office alone de-
liyers 100000 letters every day
the dead letter Office figures seem
slender, indeed.
