“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 a professional Indian killer,
la the life of John Chapman or
“Johnny Appleseed.” Chapman never
killed an Indian in bis 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 lXOti. He came lloating
down the Ohio river In a canoe, tow
ing another, and both boats were load
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills of Pennsylvania. His pitnuise
was to plant the seeds In the wilder
ness so that orchards would he started
for the settlers when they arrived
(here to make their homes.
For the next MO years he went every
where up and down the Ohio country,
planting seeds, going from one orchard
to another, pruning and curing for the
young trees lie was a welcome vis
itor in the Jog eahins of the settlers
for he always carried a Bible and
some books from which he would read
and preaeli 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 tnitsh
pan, which he sometimes wore as a
hat Usually he wore a broad-brimmed
black hat, hut a coffee sack with arm
holes cut In It was bis only coat.
White men called him “queer." for
he often went barefoot In winter as
well as In summer, hut the Indians
said, “He has been touched by the
Great Spirit.” He went everywhere
among them unharmed, for the fuel
that Johnny never carried a gnu con
vinced the... that t.e was under the
special protection of the Manito
During the War of 1X12 when 'be
British were overrunning the Ohio
countrj Johnny Applosecd performed
his greatest service for his |.,-o|.i. It
his wanderings among tile trit.es he
often learned of th.-lr plans for at
tacks on the settlements. Where no
other white man could have gone
Johnny passed it. safety and more
than once he carried warnings to the
settlers, giving them time to prepare
for defense la-fore 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 statP today owe their beginnings
to this strange man In hts later years
Johnny left the country which he had
helped beautify and went to live with
a relative In Fort Wayne, Ind He
died in 1X47

HORSE’S TAIL PRIVILEGED
Can Switch It When Where and How
He Pleases, I* Decision of
New York Court.
New York.—A horse's tail Is privi
leged. That was decided In the Tombs
court hy Magistrate Corrigan. It cost
Mike Huccarelli $10 to learn that about
his equine employee.
Buccarelli, a driver, was huied into
court hy an agent of the Humane so
ciety, who accused him of heating his
horse. The beating was eatised, he
told the court, because the horse with
one magnificent swish of the tall had
knocked a perfecto out of BaccarelU’a
hand.
“A tall belongs to a horse," decided
the magistrate. “He can switch It
when, where and as much as he
pleases. That’s what It’s for. Ten
dollars or five days in jail.”

AMERICA GETS
SILVER BACK
Stream of White Metal Flowing
to This Country After Help
inc Win the War.
BAFFLED FOE IN THE FAR EAST
Offset German Propaganda and Up
held Confidence of the Natives
During Critical Period—Treaa
ury Restoring Supply.
New York.—Silver, like gold, la
trickling toward the United Slates. It
Is coining to Its best and readiest
market in a stream that, of course, Is
not comparable to the amount of gold
Imported, hut yet in sufficient volume
to present unmistakable evidence that
nooks and crannies are being searched
for himrderl silver, that bank vaults of
Europe In Which silver has been col
lected for months arc being emptied,
1 and that our own cheat, depleted by
war needs, is being refilled to its nor
mal brimming level. The silver now
coming to tlie United Stutes was most
! ly mined in tills country, or at least
exported from here, and cornea back
with a service stripe.
Used in the War. ,
Silver was used In Ihe war to off
! set German propaganda in the Far
| East. While troop- were holding hack
the Germans in their drive on Paris in
| the spring of 1918. a Hood of silver
offset completely the efforts of the
, Germans to stir up trouble in the Far
East. Silver dollars. Idle in Ihe vaulta
of the United Stales treasury rlepnrt
I ment. were melted down into bars and
hurried across the Pacific to provide
additional cover for paper money,
about which the natives of India had
lierotne alarmed.
The importance of dispelling dis
quieting reports in. the Far East
about tiie reserves, is indlculed by
the lui|Hirtance of silver in the econom
ic life of tlie Far East. It is the
money of the bazaars of India. It Is
tlie coin in which bills are paid and
purchasi - made, and is the coin with
which tlie native bus been familiar
since childhood and the one bullion
i in which lie place- implicit confidence.
The -ize of this outflow of sliver
from the United States in the days
when it was considered a necessity
to aid in winning tlie war may he
judged from the tigui-es of the direc
tor of tlie mint. in the six years
from mis to l!l2ii. inclusive, imports
ol silver into tlie United Stales
amounted to $868,933,478, while ex
ports totaled $815,806,586, alt excess
! of exports over imports of $444,875,
058. Production of sliver in Ihe
! United States in the same period watt
$.'!.'!2.st;7,5»Hi. From 1915 to 5919 In
clusive the amount of new silver
consumed in the arts in Ilie United
Unite- was valued at $05,769,681.
Shortage Made Up.
The following table of imiKirts and
exports indicates why it wus neces
sary to draw »i«in the stuck of silver
in tlie United State- treasury to make
up the shortage, including the melting
of 27o.12l.155 silver dollars under the

BEAVERS SAVE PEAR CROP
Dams Opened and Lots of Irrigating
Water Supplied by Industrious
Animals.
Orondo, Wash.—Water from two
beaver dams saved the pear crop of
growers In the Entla district recent
ly. There has lieen a shortage of wa
ter for irrigation purposes because of
the drying up of Kutla creek. De
spite rigid enforcement of the users’
right* law, the supply dwindled until
drought threatened the pear harvest
within three wt*ek* of marketing.
Horace Maun, the district gauger,
went up into the mountains to inves
tigate the source of the creek, and
discovered that I leavers had flammed
the water by erecting two large ob
structions across a flat valley.
The dams were Opened and enough
water was released to save the entire
crop and then again closed to save
the lives of the little builders
