Not long azoja letter reached the York
general post office seemingly addressed
to no one in particular. JButon its: face
was a capital picture of a big rosy-cheek-
ediupple, stemiand all. Underneathg it
was ‘¢ York City”. It was, to usea
postal phrase “iced’’—that is, laid aside
among other missives destined for the
dead gletter office. ;Nobody expected
that a claimant’would turn up, but one
did, and on the very ‘day the letter
ar rived too... He asked if there was any-
thing - for Andrew Appel. At first the
clerk said ‘{N6”, but upon freflection
concluded that perk: ips she wasir in the pres
ence owner ot the missive, In
enquiries, Mr. Appel said he was expect-
ing a letter from, his brother. , Sure
enough the letter bore the postmark of
the city named, and the clerk gave it to
the expectant man. ‘Yes that’s for
me,’ heremarked, ‘* Thatllooks like an
apple, don’t it? “Well, ’'m,;‘An.2Appel.

Sayings Of The O&P’s Funny Man.
My First Days Collocting

I well remember the first day I ever
went egg collecting. I was somewhat
younger than 1 am now, and had_per-

‘haps « little less experience and more

money. I had heard of a boy who had
a collection of fifty kinds of egg, blown

in the end; and thought I might possi-

bly work up to his station (he was a
sheep herder) by getting mea evllection.
One bright morning in May I started

out although I hadn’t the slightest idea |

where to look fora nest. I hunted in
the brush, on the ground, and every-
where, but invain. Asl happened to

remember of reading about birds laying

in chimneys, I started up to examine
ras that
IT had singed my beautiful, hoary mous-
tuche. Way olf in the distance I saw ‘a

clump of dark trees, that looked as if

they might be full of nests, but to my
great horror I found to be cherry trees
loaded with ripe trait. I stood on. the
other side of-the fence for a long time
and wondered if there were any nests
there, also if the -owner was any where
near. At last I summoned up .courage
und went over the} fenee. I had eaten
as many cherries as T could and had

justtilled my. pockets to” féed. to my:
grand-children-at home, when the owner
‘came around and after

several gentle
questions, made the violent wish that 1
was in the equator, or some other
ival climes? 1 don’t seehow he knew 1
had been eating cherries, unless he
noticed a stray stone that had lodged
oyer night in my Whiskers; as it
was, he promptly seized me by the collar
and took me up to the house to intro-
