A Bag of Beans.
There was a time when vegetables seemed a matter of course. For din
ner it was only necessary to step into the garden, pick a bucket of beans,
gather some corn and tomatoes, pull up a few onions; and in a short time a
fine dinner was under way. When I moved to the city things were some
different. A handful of wrinkled and careworn beans cost a dime. A quart
(short quart) of tomatoes cost fifteen cents, onions were high and roasting
ears came only in nubbin sizes, and the prices charged invaded the realm
of larceny. So it was that every trip I made to the old home I was glad
enough to bring back a supply of vegetables. Now there is a prejudice among
city folk against carrying bundles in the street. In the average sized city
a small army of men and boys are employed delivering purchases But I had
not learned this. I had a gorgeous lot of vegetables to bring home with me,
and had nothing in which to bring them except a flour sack. It was a nice,
dean fifty-pound sack. It was white and glistening except for a line of let
tering on one side to the effect that the sack had originally contained “48
Pounds of Near-Snow Family Flour.” That sack was packed full and tied
with a cloth string of many colors. To begin with, there were two gallons of
beans. Then a dozen of roasting ears. Then some tomatoes and squashes;
then a few peppers to fill up the cracks and on top some of the little red
apples from the tree in the corn patch for the baby. I was proud of the sack.
It was heavy to carry, but my heart was light, as I pictured the welcome that
gorgeous, prodigal horn of plenty would receive from my little family. I
remember I even felt like Santa Claus a few times, and the birds were cer
tainly singing in my soul "when I got off the train in the city. Some news
boys ran up, crying the morning paper. I had the sack on my shoulder, and
an umbrella in my hand. I motioned the paper away and walked on, but they
seemed very persistent. They circled around me and new ones joined the
throng. They insisted on my buying and I refused more positively. Then they
fell in behind me, and followed along, laughing about something. The people
I met seemed in fine humor, too. They looked at me and smiled, then looked
at one another and exchanged smiles. I could not understand all this good
will on earth, but simply pursued my way. After going about a block the
newsboys began to thin out. I stopped on a corner and lowered the sack to
the pavement to rest a moment. Some of the passers-by looked at me so at
tentively that I felt sure something was wrong with my apparel. A close ex
amination showed that my clothes were all on right side before and no but
tons missing. The car seemed slow in arriving, so I decided to take my sack
to the office and not go home until time for lunch.
So I shouldered it and started, the squashes and ears of corn proclaiming
themselves by large bulges in the sack and the onions giving notice of their
presence in another manner. Crossing the street a passing car stopped me
and a lady sitting by an open window almost brushed my sack. She gave one
look at the sack one at me, and burst out laughing. Others on the ear joined.
This universal merriment was getting a little monotonous hut I passed on,
st I ’]! proud of my sack.
At the office I called up my home, and was requested to bring a loaf
of bread, a dime’s worth of potato-chips and a pineapple when I went to
lunch. When I had added these bundles to the umbrella and my sack of veg
etables, I had almost as much as I could carry with convenience. I boarded
a crowded car, experiencing some difficulty in squeezing through the door—
and just as I went to sit down we rounded a corner and the pineapple fell
out of its sack into a lady’s lap in the seat ahead. Trying to catch it I swung
my umbrella around and knocked a lady’s hat sideways in the seat behind.
All this would have been embarrassing enough, but as a climax, that cloth
string broke and a squash, two ears of corn, the little red apples and some
onions gushed forth into the aisle. The people fairly shouted. New people
came running to board the car, and they in turn joined the merriment. Ev-
