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- DR. BROUGHTON’S BOOKS. Among the Greatest Sellers in the Religious Book World.
