"There," says Jeb, "is nature's noblest creation fifty years, and bearm still the finest eider apples ' ill the county!" But last fall, when a group of M was there, Lad Denny points across the river to his grain fields and says! "There's an even finer sight! Acres and acres of golden grain yon can make dozens of appetizing things with including wholesome, sparkling beer." Both of them got so eloquent on the subject, that the rest of us worked up quite a thirst; so Jeb goes to the icebox for beer and cider. And when the refreshments come, Lad chooses eider, and Jeb takes the beer! From where I sit, that's the answer to most disputes. Yon can talk all yoa want, but when it comes to tastes and preferences, there's jwt no argment.
