Stood By His Friends.
An editor died the other day. The
doctor said the cause of death was
mental prostration produced by over
work. The editor's wife knew it was
worry over financial matters as well as
work that finished his earthly career.
He hadn’t been to church for seven
years. The last time he went he saw a
man teaching the bible class in Sunday
school who owed him niue dollars on
subscription and heard him sing,
"Jesus Paid it All.” When he died the
preacher looked grave and shook his
head and all the good people of the con
gregation took up the refrain and
looked grave and shook their heads also.
The editor boarded the lightning express
flashed his mileage book and went
straight to heaven. “Who’s there?"
asked St. Peter in response to his rap.
“An editor from that little ball called
World, western hemisphere, state of
Nebraska. How are you this morning,
Peter?” “Well, quite well, thank you.
Walk right in. The best in the shop is
yours. Select your own seat. I have
two splendid jobs waiting for yob. See
that crowd down below? They are the
fellows who didn’t subscribe for their
local paper, those who did subscribe but
never paid and those who were always
kicking on the paper. I want an reli
able hand to drink ice water and throw
coals of Are on their heads. Then
there’s that crowd up to the right.
They are the men who never kicked,
were always ready with a helping hand
and a word of encouragement, paid
their subscription promptly, advertised
liberally and consistently and never
went from home for their job work. I
want an reliable hand to see that they
get the best there is a going. They
may be a trifle unreasonable at times
but when on earth they treated people
fairly. Which place do you want?"
“Thank you, Pete, old boy, since 1 am
to choose I’ll go up with my friends and
leave those fellows down below to the
devil. They won’t be lonesome in his
company—Stanton Picket.

Vanderbilt'* Neighbor.
In the center of George Vanderbilt’s
beautiful estate of 9,000 acres near
Asheville, there is a little plot owned
by an old negro, which no money can
buy. Within sight of the palatial
house the old man sits by his door
contentedly smoking his corncob pipe,
unmoved by entreaty or offers of fab
ulous sums for his log cabin. He in
variably makes the same answer:
"Now, look here, sah; all my life I'se
been bothered with bad neighbors.
Dey comes home drunk an’ dey smash
es my fence and dey steals me bacon.
Now, Col. George here, he treats me
square. He leaves me bacon alone, he
don't abducklate no chickens. Now,
I'se got a good neighbor; I'se going to
stick to him.’’—New York Telegraph.
Th« Apple** Hardiness.
Thousands of little apple trees, some
already five Inches high, have been
found growing on the westera shores
of the Islands of Mull and Iona, on the
Scottish west coast, just above high
water mark, and the crofters are trans
planting them to their gardens. The
seedlings have grown from the apples
cast ashore from the Dominion line
steamer Labrador, wrecked last fall.
The London Daily Chronicle calls this
“a practical demonstration of the
hardiness and vitality of apple pips,”
but whether the hardiness consists in
resisting the sea water or in enduring
the climate of Scotland it does not say.
* Th* Largest Tree.
New York Tribune: Kent County,
Md., has a peach tree that is believed
by State Entomologist W. G. Johnson
to be the largest tree in the United
States. The tree is on the farm of Al
len Harris, on Eastern Neck Island,
and is of the Crawford variety. It has
a full crop of peaches this year, and
has never failed to bear a crop since
it began growing. It measures 87
Inches in circumference and 22 Inches
in diameter. Three of the limbs are 22
inches, 29 inches and 30 Inches im cir
cumference, respectively. It is seldom
that the large trees are the best bear
ers, but the case of this Maryland
giant proves to be an exception.
