OOD RIVER, Or, Dec 31 (Spe
cial.) Through Anthony H.
Euwer, who spent last, Summer
in the Upper Hood River Valley on
the farm of his brother, Eugene C.
Euwer, painting pictures of Mount
Hood landscapes, the Bohemians of
Greenwich Village, New York City,
have heard of the Hood River apple.
A clipping from the New York Even
ing Mail, sent by Mr. Euwer, the artist
and author, to his brother, tbe orcbard
Ist, tells the story.
The Mail story was written by Zoe
Beckley, who prefaces her article with
the following:
"Lower Fifth avenue, when it goes
a-walking, has fallen Into the habit of
stopping before a certain black bulle
tin board at No. 10. This b. b. belongs
to the Little Thimble Theater a
theater without money and without I
price. It has the thrill without the
shudder, as Anthony Euwer would say.
Tou choose what interests you most on
the bulletin board, make up a theater
party, go in your limousine or your
uppers, whichever is most convenient,
and charge the expense to Charlie Edi
son, son of Tom."
Applee Foraa Topic.
The writer declares that on the
evening when she went to the Little
Thimble for a visit she found Mr.
Euwer dispensing "art with apple
sauce on a Greenwich soul menu.
"I have seen the name of Ant.iony
H. Euwer on the covers 'of books and
at the bottom of poems and at the top
of children's stories about fishes and
cats and icthio-osso-megaphon-dilluses.
I knew he was all kinds of draughts
man, painter and humorist. But It
seems apples Is, or are, a different side
of his nature.
- 'Do you city folks have any idea
what it costs those boys out in the
valley to All the fruiterer's shop with
luscious Spitsenburgs, Winter Bananas
and Gravenstelnsr Anthony was say
ing as I riffled into a rear seat at The
Thimble.
"And soon I found he was talking
about the Hood River Valley out in
Oregon, where the apples come from,
and that he had written some rather i
wonderfully thrilling verses describing
the cost' In human strength and sweat
and patience and hope and tears to
produce Juicy, nectarine, fat, round ap
ples of crimson and gold that' you set
your teeth in so carelessly.
Word Picture la Drawn.
"Here is one of the pictures Mr.
Euwer draws in words a picture you
will not find In any of the real estate
catalogues setting forth choice apple
ranches:
Eight-Inch dust and five-foot snow
Tou set them both where the apples grow,
Toppling hopes and cank ring- fears
To boost you along for seven years;
Blight snd plaru. and withering frost
Just reckon thrs. when you count the cost
or that wonderful fruit you saw today
As you stopped st the window along
Broadway.
"Someone in the audience wanted to
know whether Anthony was knocking
or boosting the Northwestern apple
country. They call right out the
speaker if they want any point cleared
up; its one or tbe beauties of The
Thimble, this Greenwich Village infor
mality.
" 'Neither,' answered Mr. Euwer good
naturedly. 'I'm simply trying by oral
presentation of "Rhymes of Our Val
ley" to interest an uninitiated public
In a new spot of this earth that de
serves their attention.
" 'As for inducing anyone to go there,
far be it from me to assume any such
responsibility. But if I can transplant
a bit of Hood River Valley atmosphere
and project a few things into that at
mosphere that will give people some
thing to think about and amuse and in
struct, I will have done what I wanted
to.
Bfea Are Indomitable.
Tou can't live on euthusiasm and
scenery altogether, but if you could 1
think you could do it better in our val
ley than anywhere else in the world.
Men are there who have been through
the worst and their Indomitable, un-
squelchable pluck and enthusiasm are
things to marvel at.
Were I to work out my salvation
on the soil I d take our valley before
any other place in the world. I'm par
tial. 1 love the wonderful color, the
very moisture in tbe air, wrapping and
wreathing the mountain peaks from
dawn till dark, that gives cloud settings
to the rugged world that are a Joy forever.
Then he paid some more things
about apples thst actuated the salivary
glands of the audience. And some more
things about the ranchmen who raise
tauae trues laat bear taose apples. Ami
between the two I'll bet not a person
there will ever aain bite a pippin from
a fruiterer's window heedlessly and
without reverence."
NANNY HAD BAD TEMPER
Long: Island Police Learn All About
Fruit-Dealer's Goal.
NEW YORK, Dec 28. When Gerer
anao Franzino, of No. 100 State street,
Jamaica, L. L, lost his goat he thought
practically nothing of it. He keeps a
fruit stand and shoe polishing empor
ium and therefore knows and- tolerates
the police, and he was certain that if
he failed in his dignified effort -to lo
cate the goat the police surely would,
find and recognize it.
When the police of the Jamaica pre
cinct found the goat, which they did.
they, too, thought but little of it, but
since tr.ey got to know it and returned
it to its happy owner hey have thought
of nothing else. The goat, which
bears the novel name of Nanny, makes
them considerably tireder than usual.
It appears that about a month ago
Nan ate some automobile accessories,
on the half tonneau, and they went di
rectly to her horns. Since then she has
been in the habit of taking a 60-foot
run and nudging Mr. Franzino's fruit
and boot emporium so that the swell
dressers of Jamaica could hardly re
main seated during the glistening
process within. The goat ran away
from the shine parlor yesterday at
top speed, and upon reaching the end
of the 60-foot tether snapped the chain
and continued to run at will.
The first person to encounter Nan
after she became a free agent was
Alexander Monize, a fireman attached
to Hook and Ladder Company No. 77.
For a moment their eyes met, and then
Mr. Monize received a communication
just under the rear of his waistcoat.
which sent him half way to work. Ho
called a policeman, waved once in the
direction from which he came, and
continued along the line of resistance.
The policeman summoned, whose
name Is George Mahoney, went right
up to Nan and told her it was all riarht.
He patted her head and used all the
wiles of. the outdoor genius to reas
sure the uniform wrecker. Then he led
her with pleadings and promises to the
station-house.
Policeman Mahoney was in the mid
dle of his recital of how he had found
the goat and how tame she was when
he disappeared through a rear win
dow. Six policemen, who were watch
ing a checkergame, followed the play
ers through a rear door, and then Nan,
making 90 miles an hour on a straight
course, hit the front door and went out
into the open, accompanied by a large
panel.
It must have been 20 minutes before
Mr. Franzino appeared and asked if
the police had seen his goat. He said
later that he never heard such lan
guage in his life, in the old country,
on the way over or here.
Nan was found at home, gorging
an anchor.
TOKIO "COPS" ARE SMART
Capital Has 509 9 Policemen,
Sub-Inspectors, 108 Others.
159
TOKIO, Dec. 30. On the police force
of Toklo are 5099 policemen, 159 sub-
inspectors and 108 inspectors. Since
they serve more than 2.000,000 citizens,
each policeman then has to provide
protection for 400 persons. Despite the
fact that their pay is considered very
small, the number of applications for
joining the force is increasing each
year.
At police headquarters qualifying ex
aminations are given twice a week and
there are more than 20 applicants at
each examination. Among those who
took the last examination were two
graduates of the Imperial University.
Only 20 per cent pass the examinations.
Then it requires three months' military
training before they are eligible for a
position.
Surprise of aa Editor.
Illustrated Gossip.
The editor handed the manuscript
back after hastily scrutinizing the
sheets, and said in a lofty manner:
'We don't print any such stuff as
that."
"Well, you needn't be so haughty
about it. ' retorted the Spasmodical
Contributor. "You're not the only one
who won't print -it." -
