KEBORA S IDEA.

“A' woman’s idee air sometimes
worth couaiderin,” .began Fisherman
Joe, tilting his chair back and giving
incessant puffs at the stem of his old
clay pipe. “I liev found thet out for
sura Now, for more years ’an 1 can re
member, we lived down on tker P’int,
Debora an me.
“We fished, raised chickens, diicks an
geese, an between ’em all, with the’r
eggs, wo made a purty tolerahul fair
livin an lied a little mite over. But
tin r mi to over went mostly for house
rent, so a mighty little was left to go
down in thcr sock for a rainy day. Hov-
sui;j or, ther little in tlier sock cum;-
lated fust straight, an we made ther
fust payment on this place. An by ther
tin. we’d saved up nigh on to or life
time we paid ther last cent ou it, an
tlier place was ours. We fixed it up
some, givin it n tneh when we could,
an fust, thing wo knowed wo lied n
mighty fine place. All it lacked was
ther house, an we ’lowed to hev thet. if
we lived long enough. An thinkiu of
diet we helt up our heads protullike an
worked ou, every now an tiieu haulin
out ther sock an droppin somethin thet
chinked into it,
“We wouldn’t count what we hod
not for months, ’cause we wanted it to
cumiiate unbeknownst to tie. but last
spring we got so cur’ns about it we
looked to see how much was ther nit
found most enough to start on onr
house. An hist then hard times set in
nit smasher tliet idee flat. Times got-
worse an w'-rser. I couldn’t sell my fish
or nuthin. People said times was too
hard to buy such things as ducks, spring
chickens an eggs, so tlier warn’t no use
for mo to fetch ’em round. But I kept
goin an kepi, not sellin too.
“From then on for about seven months
me au Debora didn’t make as much as
2 bits. An all the time rent, lied to be
paid, an we hed to have somethin to
eat. So down in thet sock we hed to go
every month. At them times wo
wouldn’t look at one ’nothor nor say a
word. We knowed how hard we'd
worked for it ail what it was for, so
We’d just use it slow au hide our feel-
in’s best way we could. Now, not far
from where we lived ther was a purty
fair lookin house. It was built after we
moved to ther P’int an was standin ther
just like it was when tlier carpenters
finished it Nobody hed ever lived in it,
’cause it was ha’nted. Everybody said
so, an it was, too, an no mistake about
it We, Debora an me, knowed it
“We lived closer to it ’an anybody
else au hed seen an heard ’nough to
know thet house was as full of ha’nts as
one generally gits, hut thcr house we
lived iu belonged to tlier man who
owned tlier ha’nted house? so it didn’t
do for us to air all we knowed about it
But this is ther way the ha’nts got in it:
“Ther carpenters was two young
men, considered well behaved an gen
teel. Tom was ther best lookin—he was
most purty. Ed was ugly as sin. Huw-
sumover, they was both well liked by
everybody. They boarded up at Miss
Biscom’s, but it was so far from 1 her
house thet to keep from losin time Miss
Bisc^m would send their dinner.» She
didn’t have no little children, but had
a grown daughter, Jessie, an every day
when ther 12 o’clock whistles would’
blow Jessio Biseom would come down
with ther young men’s dinner. They’d
spread it out. on a pile of lumber, an
while they’d be eatin Jessie would be
laugliiu an talkin to ’em. An then when
tumour whistles would blow she’d
gather up ther dishes an go on home,
an ther boys back to work. Jessie w:tsa
purtv girl—plump as any partridge you
ever scon an as rosy as a apple
“Ther boys hod only been to Miss
Biscom’s two days when 1’soy raid in
money could make ’em leave ti. not
long as Jessie staid with her ma. Their
likin for her was plain as daylight. They
Would watch for her at in Tan watr’i
her clear out of sight when she went
back home. An in tlier evenin’s the’d
hurry up ther as fast as they could go,
just to be with Jessie. The boys was
good friends when they fust come to thcr
P’int, but thet purty face of Jessie Bis
eom come between ’em. Debora an me
could see thet before they could sco it
themselves. We lived so close we could
tell by their looks, first at her, then at.
themselves, an more’n once Debora said
ther was tronble ahe’d for them very
same young people.
“Every Sunday ther three went out
walkin together, Jessie in their middle,
Ed on one side, Tom on ther other.
Thet was all right, but when a dance
come erlong one was sure to get lettTSn
thet was generally Ed. Tom kept his
- ears open for everything come along an
would ask Jessie to go with him, an of
course she’d say yes to the first one thet
asked her. So things went on, an by
the time ther house was done things
was gettin seri’us with ther boys, spe
cially with Ed. They was up to their
ears in love with Jessie, an she liked
Tom ther best. Tliet made. Ed mad
’nongh to cat up everybody livin on ther
P’int.
“Ono night ther boys didn’t hurry up
home to Miss Biscom’s as they hed been
doin right straight along. They hed
been quarreliu most all day au ’pcared
like they was goin- to hev it out then au
ther. Ed was doin most of ther fussin,
an Tom tryin to make him hush. Mo an
Debora sat still an listened. Ther hoys
got madder an madder, an presently we
heard a big slap iu ther face an Ed say:
“ ‘Tako thet, sir!’
“We knowed he hed hit Tom, an in a
minute more Tom hit him back. Then
such a noise you never beam. They fit,
lit, fit- All over ther room they scram
bled an whacked one ’nothcr. I got
scared they was murderin an rushed over
to save ’em, but 1 got there too lata As
I teched thcr door Ed stuck his knife in
Tom’s heart, an ther poor boy staggered
across ther room an fell dead. Ed slipped
^through ther door, on' before I could
li him or even say a word he had
gona
“He left ther place for good tin
night, an nobody round ther P’int ai:i
laid eyes on him siuca Of course it
went hard with Jessie, ’cause she liked
Tom an was by natur’ a mighty ieoiin
pirL She’s livin down there yet, an ther
P’int people say she’s takin care o' her
ma an ain’t no notion of evergittiu mar
ried.
“Well, since thet night'nobody would
move into thet housa Mr. Hackney
put ther rent down low—mighty low
for such a house as it was—but thet
didn’t rent it worth a cent. Every night
after thet one we could hear a clatter,
groans an then a fall. It never missed a
night. This went ou for years an years.
So ther home set thar goin to rack.
“Well, last year when times was so
hard Mr. Hackney said he’d like to sell
it. We hed an idee he would too. But
who was goin to buy it? As ther sum
mer went by an times got harder Mr.
Hackney would come down in his figers.
He did this reg’lur every month, an yet
nobody would bay. In September me an
Debora got mighty blue. We hedn’t

The last decade of the nineteenth cen

tory of the American seed trade, in that
It has witnessed the general introduction
of bush f irms of the favorite Limas, pre-

THE FOUR BUSH LIMAS,
viously known only as pole beans. In
order to properly present the four varie
ties together, an illustration made of
ripe beans, averaging. natural size, is
here reproduced from Burpee’s Farm
Annual.
Burpee's Bush Lima originated in
Pennsylvania and is conceded to be a
perfect bush form of the true large white
Lima. It is an immense yielder, each
bush bearing from 60 to 200 of the hand
some large pods, well filled with large
beans, which are identical in size and
flavor to tne well known large pole
Limas. By the introduction of this most
valuable novelty, the largest and best
Lima beans can now be raised in quan
tity at" small cost, without the expense
and labor attached to the use of poles.
Henderson’s Bush Lima appears to
have originated simultaneously in sev
eral southern states. It is an early and
prolific true bush form of the sieva, small
Lima or “butter hcr.ns.” While the
beans are small t cy are ready for the

and he won’.give it up.”
“Oh, well, let the little darling have it,"
replied the fond mother.
"But he’s brandishing it about, bis head
and chasing the other children around the
yard.” . ’
“He’a crying*'Ugh! Ugb! Whoop!’isn’t
he?” •
“That’s excctiy what iu ’ ; doing.”
“Yes, my pet likes to play Indian. Does
he cry, ‘Me scalp paleface?’ ”
“Yes, yes; but don’t you see”
“Ob, let tlie little fellow enjoy himself!
He takes such pleasure in the sport,” said
thefoud mother.
“But he’ll bit one of the others!” cried
the indignant neighbor frantically.
“Not intentionally,” returned the fond
mother. “He never means to hurt any
one."
“No, but he does sometimes, ar>d it’sdan-
gerons, madam—T’s dangerous.”
“Perhaps it is,” said the foud mother
thoughtfully.
She went to the window and called out:
“Willie, if you hit any of the chiid -en
with that hatchet, I’ll whip you and put
you to bed.”
As she resumed her seat she said to her
indignant neighbor:
“You need have no fears. I hate to pun
ish Will, but I promise you that I will if
he hits one of the children.”
And she cannot understand now why the
neighbors will not allow their children to

The author of “Lorna Doone”" has a

savors of pe- oual advertisement. Only
one portrait of him, that which appears

greatest difficulty that he could be in

Ing the late war he was a member of Co. M

We have none but words of praise for them,
They are the outgrowth of a new principle in
