TELLING ALL
Or, Rutber, Referring to It Occasionally at
Lone Intervals, When Other Topics Have
Been Exhausted—Doing the Midway
I'laisanee and Spending a Pleasant Day.
[Copyright, ISO 3, by Edgar W. Nye.]
Chicago, Sept. 12,1893.
My Dear Henry—You will no doubt
be surprised to know that your mother
and me has been to the World’s fair for
a plumb week, seeing it and being seen
of it, as you might say.
I had no idoar of going all summer ow
ing to the scarcity of stringency here,
but by a lucky turn of stock I made S2OO.
1 made a bet with an "educated farmer”
at home regarding the height of the full

grown peanut tree by which I made
above amount. I bet my stock against
his is why I refer to it as a deal in
stocks. I sold the beef on the hoof for
two hundred dollars and some cents.
So he will remain at home, and I will
tell him about the fair, which is a suc
cess.
I bought excursion tickets on the rail
road at a scandalous low price and got
here fresh and comfortable, with several
doughnuts over and above what we need
ed. I have et doughnuts soaked in coffee
now for most a week, and I shall never
care for them again. Mother cooked a
pillercase full before we started, and I be
gin to yearn for vegetables, to tell the
plain truth with the natural finish on it.
I suppose you are having a good time
at New Roshell, and I send you what 1
X'an spare, but hope you will not tell
your artist friends how I made the raise.
I was bluffed into it by a man that came
to our neighborhood and begun to farm
it with a high hand and tell about “in
telligent farming.” He called on me
when he first come to borrow some sweet
potato seed, and I was not at home at i
the time, being away pricing a bull that
I heard was for sale down the river, so
he left his card.
I’ve got it yet. What should Ido with
at, lleusy? Uwe no place to keep it
tind hate back to him,
.: ■ ■
■ 'k.e it.
W Afterward he sent over for mefocome
find see him awonce if I could. He want
ed to have me sit up with him over night,
as he was confined to his bed, he said, and
"suffering intensely with some terrible
eruption.” I made what’s called an ex
amination and found he had been chawed I
up with what we call “jiggers.” Jiggers,
you rickolect, is a red bug about the size
of a grain of red pepper and can hardly
be seen with the nakid eye. But the
place he soon makes on the surface of
an “intelligent farmer” can be seen
across the fair ground easy.
This man—his name was Bertram
Whangleathers—had jigger terraces all
over him and welts of hectic flushes and
nice red? gopher holes and perara dog
villages till the cows come home. I never
saw such a sight since I was born. His
back looked like the fortifications around
Vicksburg.
He would talk with me in a lucid way
for a few minutes, and then ho would
leap out of bed and back up aginst a wall
of what he calls “lincruster waiter” and
agitate himself with a look of deleerious
joy.
Yon know a jigger that even hears a
rumor that an “intelligent farmer” is in
the county will travel night and day to
find him, and then there is an erie of
good feeling and a barbecue right after
ward. Bertram said he had been paint
ing a picture of a heifer all the day be
fore, and I found that while ho was
doing it he had been setting on an old
dead log. Old dead logs is where jiggers
in good standing holds their conclaves.
A water color girl from Brooklyn, E.
D., painted a self made bull of mine last
year, aiming to exhibit the painting at
one of the saloons in New York, she said,
and she set on a nice mossy log too. I
told her that a mossy log was pizen for
insecks; but, no, she allowed that she
couldn’t see any, and, in fact, she couldn’t j
see anything smaller than a trestle, for
she had been mellowed some by age.
There was sounds of revelry by night
after that for several moons, and your ,
mother says that since you had the hives
she has not saw anything like it. She i
was a slender girl —so slender that a jig
ger bite on the shin made her seem to be
going the other way.
Oh, how she murmured!
I see no ill feeling or resentment south
toward the northern man unless the
northern man sits down on a dead log
to read “Lorna Doone.” Then there is
something steals up his trousers legs
which arouses the old party spirit.
I auctioned off some extra furniture
the other day, especially yours, as I do ;
not look for you to come home much
more. Mother says you have mostly |
outgrown the home nest and will soon
catch on to some other birdling and make
a nest of your own.
You are old enough now to breatne
words of love of evenings and wait for
some celestial restaurant to come and
take your order for meals. I shall al
ways take an interest in you, Henry
—you know that —but while there is no
confidence shown in the stringency of
the times I wish you would borrow most
ly of people you are visiting at New Ro
shell.
Among other things I sold at the auc
tion and fire sale was the heavy mahog
any bedstid. which I thought that some
lover of the anteek would run up to a
some nice heavy brass castorT so’s that
it could be jerked around easy and swep
under. So I got a big set at Brightly’s
place for $2.50 and put them in that
night, boring holes in the bedstid to sock
them into. You know old xvcod like
that is pretty middling hard, and our
auger was injured 18 years afjo by my
eon when ho bored into the pasture eleven
or nine times for kerosene oil.
I put in the biggest part of the night
boring four holes, your mother trying
to hold the old quail trap stiddy whilst
I worked, and in the morning it was auc
tioned off for $1.50. This is a fact and
shows how stringency is here on the farm.
I reserved the castors while the bed
stid was in transit and drove some nails
in the auger holes to teach future gener
ations that an old man like me cannot
be ground under the iron heel of capital
and then fed to the hogs. It may not be
a Christian spirit, but there is about as
little of the John Rogers idear in me as
most any honest farmer you will find in
Buncombe county, N. C., U. S. A., which
is my address.
But I have wandered from the World’s
fair, and possibly you are glad of it, for
the papers are infested with it now most
all the time, but it is the biggest thing I
ever saw, and I shall be C 3 next frost.
We took a tent and picnic near the
grounds. Quite a number of the wealthy
people do that way. I stand it better
than your mother does, as I was in the
war and slept many of a night under a
rhododendron bush and had to dress and
undress for four years in the presence of
the shocked and horrified moon.
Once I was changing my shirt toward
the close of the war, for mother had told
me not to dare to return from the war
without doing so, when General Lee, a
man of good family and generally sup
posed to have as much real pollish as
ery man in the war, come in where I
was in a large cotton field and brought
80,000 men with him, and I never had
met any of them before in my life. That’s
the way a Yankee soldier was treated
time and time again.
But that is neither here nor there. It
was in Virginia. However, to come back
to the fair. I have spent most of the
time at the farm machinery egzibbit,
where I get more animation and noise
for my money than elsewhere. I also
love to strole through the pictorial de
partment and wonder what is behind
the screen that is over a big painting
there. Day after day I excuse myself to
mother and go to the dairy awhile, and
gradually so on around to where the pic
ture is that has a b’anket over it.
It was a good idear whoever thought
of it, for it brings a good many people
to the gallery that otherwise would not
come.
I was also much pleased with Eli Mus
ser’s egzibbit of buggies and phayturns.
Eli is a man of enterprise and a general
oner, as they say here. I went to school
with him.
In the tapestry and rag carpet depart
ment there is a good deal that is expen
sive, but pretty well wore out, I should
say. Our schoolteacher, Mr. Pilcher,
that you stumped on how long it would
jXtko A, B and C to get their share of
grindstone used off if A paid two
’Birds, Bone-sixth and (’ had one-sixth
.Barged, but did not pay for it, provided
B took turns turning the grind
stone and C riding on it with an - old ax,
and 6 per cent interest on money, is at
the fair.
He got our districk to believe that we
ought to send him there “to get new
idears in school govermunt and rashional
methods.” I met him hero with a big
red badge on, and he had shaved off his
John C. Calhoun whiskers, that used to
bile up over his collar like a mass of red
top busting out through a crack in the
sidewalk and kind of give mo the im
fl f 'L.
ww
IN THE MIDWAY PLAISANCE,
pression always that he had a pelt on
| him like a red Irish setter except where
he shaved.
| * Now he is all dressed up and has been
; shaved in the Palmer House barber shop,
i where they have a silver dollar in each
i square of the floor. Since times is so de
monetized they have put plate glass mir
i rors on the ceiling so as to double the
i volume of silver coin on the floor. This
j is more like congress than anything I
ever knew a barber to do.
But I am wandering away from the
; fair again.
I was going to say that Mr. Pilcher
was going to take me to see a specially
spicy dance on the Midway pleasents
Tuesday, but mother said she would not
permit me to do so. I said to her sort of
spirited and annoyed: “You read the pa
pers and get lots of fool notions in your
head, I think, for such a nice old lady-as
you seem like. Prob’ly,” I said, winking
at Pilcher, “you have made an erroneous
of yourself regarding this dance.”
“No,” she said, looking me in the eye
in away that made my wind infested
whiskers turn gray, “I am making no
| mistake, father. I was there yesterday
myself.”
There is nothing left now for me that
is interesting except the people of the
Dahomey village* who remind me of a
Republican mass meeting in South Car
olina.
Maybe I will have time to pencil off
another letter whilst here, but this one,
I know, is rambling, and I have had no
time to revise it, for we engaged meals
before we started from home, and the
man lives of course in Chicago, but it is
north of Beloit quite a ways, and our
tent is in South Chicago, which is near
Indianapolis. This keeps us on the go
except when we lunch on the grounds
and give our eggshells to the noor.
yesterday I had a glass of
beer, and the band seemed to play a lit
tle bit better than it had before since I
have been on the grounds.
A man also came near falling off the
big Ferris wheel 300 feet to the ground,
and in every way it was the pleasantest
day I have yet saw whilst here. So, good
by. Yours respectfully, your father,
P. B.—Your mother has just sprained
her ankcl, and I am with Pilcher this
p. m. Father.
His Speech.
Mr. W. M. Evarts, who has just been
celebrating his golden wedding, is a man
of wit not too often used for telling ef
fect. He flashes his steel to good pur
pose now and then. The story is said
that once at a dinner of the New York
Potters, a sort of family reunion, he as
their counsel had been asked to dine with
them all. There was a bishop, and there
was a doctor of divinity, and there were
other distinguished scions of the family
tree present, and the after dinner speeches
had all? been —very natural for such an
occasion—on the fame and success of one
another. The history of the Potters since
they first camo to this country was told
in all its glorious details. Then Mix Ev
arts was asked to make a speech, and
they say he said that he felt ho really
must be excused. In this reverend pres
ence, however, ho might bo pardoned for
uttering a paraphrase of Scripture which
had come iiitb his mind during the
speeches of tho rest—“ Lord, Lord, thou
art the clay, and we are the Potters!”—

Drawing Room Tactics*

Harry—Quite a military establishment
over there at Miss Bruyn’s, but their tac

His Preference.
The varying schemes under which high
priced hotels exact the largest possible
amount of money from their patrons
were fully investigated by Uncle Jede
diah Hawkins of Hawkins’ Corners dur
ing his recent visit to the World’s fair.
Qn his return he talked learnedly of the
American and the European plans to his
neighbor, Mr. Tudelsack.
“Und vot,” asked Mr. Tudelsack, “ish
dot American blan mit a hotel?”
“The Amerikin plan,” answered Uncle
Jedediah, “is a scheme in a hotel ’cordin
to which ye li:ivo"?b~r?f!, I wir.wwi wuu'b
as ye want in order to git your money’s
worth.”
“Und vot is dot Eurobean blan?”
“Tho European plan is jest the other
way around. Ye have less’n ye want to
eat by payin fer twiced as much as ye
git.”
“By shiminy!” said Mr. Tudelsack, “I
like potter dot American blan 1' Youth’s

Professional Instinct.

—Come, Rosa, there is a gentleman in
the drawing room who wants to marry
one of our daughters. He is a wino mer

WHY HE STAID.
Under No Obligations, but Couldn't Get
Rid of Him.
One day on Powell’s river in the Ten
nessee mountains I rode up to a com
fortable looking farmhouse to inquire
the way, and I ran plump into a one
sided scrimmage between a sharp vis
aged woman and a measly little man
at a wood pile.' She was scolding him
right and left, and he was taking it si
lently.
“Hello,” I broke in. “How far is it
to Tazewell?”
She looked up and stopped scolding.
“Fourteen miles, the way you’ve got
ter go,” she replied.
“Who lives here?”
“I do.”
That wasn't very definite, but I didn’t
let it bother me in tho slightest.
“Thanks,” I responded. “Could I get
my horse fed and a snack for myself?”
“No. But you kin half a mile furder
down the road.”
By this time she had come nearer the
gate.
“You seem to be having some trouble
with your farmhand,” I said, at a ven
ture.
“Yes, he’s the laziest, orneriest white
man in these parts.”
“How long have you had him?”
“About four years.”
“Why don’t you discharge him?”
“Can’t do that very well, mister.”
“Why, is labor scarce?”
“No, not skeerce, edzactly, but I'm
kinder use ter him, an he don’t give mo
no back talk.”
“But I wouldn’t be annoyed by such
help.”
“Well, mister, yer can’t quite call him
help. I reckon he’s too ornery fer that.”
“Then why not send him off?”
“Didn’t I tell you I couldn’t?”
She was getting hot again.
“Why not?” I persisted, “Are you un
der any obligations to him?”
“In course I ain’t. He’s my husband ’’
“Oh,” I laughed, and I got away in
time.—Detroit Free Press.
