THE COUNTY CLERK GOT MAD.
The True Story of an Fntortunate Rupture
in a Pike County Fire Department.
Ed. Mott tells this ftinny story in the
New York Sun :—Tlie County Clerk has
resigned as a memlwr of the Milford
Fire Department, of which lie, together
with a fit tv-foot hook and ladder truck
and the ex-Discrict Attorney, had long
been an important appurtenance, fie
was led to sever his connection with the
department by wbat be alleges was a
piece of deception on the part of the ox
District Attorney, by which deception
his usefulness and two panels of board
fence were simultaneously impaired, and
and his dignity as a citizen, a man,
a grandfather greatly injured. of
the According to the accepted account oi
affair, it seems that at a session
the boys at the Crissman House the
athletic exercise came nji for discussion,
and much difference of opinion wasfound
to exsist as to the individual merits of
certain pedestrians, This discussion
grew warm, and the ex-District Attorney
was finally prompted to remark that
when it came right down to pow ers of
endurance as a pedestrian, he felt that
he himself would never be called upon
to take a hack seat for any one, where¬
upon the County Clerk, who had failed
to agree with the ex-District Attorney
on any point during the evening, ejacu¬
lated rather contemptuously that some
people could do more wonderful things
with their mouths in ten minutes than
they could perform with their hands and
feet in six months. This was taken by
the ex-District Attorney as a direct per¬
sonal allusion, and he obtained the
floor to remark that if some people
whom he might mention would mix
more water with what they drank they
would probably be better qualified for
steady pedestrian exercises themselves.
The County Clerk replied with some
heat that, water or no water, he would
bet $5 with the ex-District Attorney, if
the latter thought he could borrow the
money to put up, that he (the County
Clerk) would walk the shoes off of him
(the ex-District Attorney) the best day
he ever saw, and do it easy. The ex
District Attorney said that was all right, gei
and if the County Clerk wanted to
mad he could get mad and be blamed to
him; and as for money, he could show
just as much as any one in the crowd.
The County Clerk said if that was tin
case it might not be a bad idea for the
ex-District Attorney to show a little, ns
they had been sitting there all the even
It fa not
known what the ex-District Attorney in
tended to reply, or what the resiflt of
this bandy ing jrSt of pleasantries might have
been, for then Jake Schorr, the
stage driver, who was returning from a
late train at Port Jervis, came dasSing
down the road, with his team and crying
“Fire!” “Fire !” at the top of his lungs.
Then there was a hurrving to and fro
among the boys. The hook and ladder
truck was housed in the Crissman House
barn. The County iushed Clerk for and it the ex
District Attorney at once,
The former seized hold of it at the rear.
while the latter handled the tongue.
The night was very dark. The truck
was quickly taken out, and the Count.

Clerk shouted:
. “Now <vr , let . , her go , boys , ! Tni 111 push , , be

Then he added to himself: “111 see how
much pedestriamsmthereis in that Dis

to be a good one if I don t wind him be

Away they went. The fire was up

went right on. He rushed through
space for fifty feet. Then he met a
board fence. He took two panels of it
with him as he went through it As he
rested in the middle of a five-acre potato
patch he said:

twenty miles an hour and that the ex

to run a Fire Department on such pnn
ciples they could, but as for him.no.
And he resigned.

IS A BEMtl SWAMT.
Making a living Among Snakes and Lia>
arcis Picking Huckleberries.
On the “wild lands” of the Delaware
Peninsula—that is, on the lands of farm¬
ers where the swamps are located—if the
owners do not interfere, hundreds of
men, women and children, barefooted
and bareheaded, invade the swamps and
manage to eke out an existence and selling during
the summer berries by picking picked ber¬
ries. The are first into
tin pails, strawberry baskets or any
small article that can be conveniently
handled and dumped into an ordinary
water-bucket, which when full, will hold
eight quarts of berries. These are cov¬
ered with a piece of moistened canvas,
in order to preserve their healthy ap¬
pearance, anil set away until anothei
bucket is filled. About sundown, along
the main roads and by-paths ramifying
from the swamps, men with bhekets on
their arms, women, sometimes carrying
babies who keep np vociferous squalling,
trudge wearily along with a bucket, and
little barefooted boys and gills follow
behind with tin pails, alien their way to
the nearest store in town.
There the berries are exchanged foi
dry goods, groceries, tobacco and snuff,
or, in some eases, cash is paid for the
berries, from forty-five to fifty cents pei
bucket being paid. Four buckets, 01
thirty-two day’s quarts per day, is regarded
as a good work, but sunrise must
find the pickers in the swamp to accom¬
plish this task. The store-keeper, if he
thinks there is no profit in their shipment
to the markets of the larger cities, has
them peddled about the town, and the
thrifty housewife uses them for jelly,
sauce, or dries them in tbe sun and puts
them away for future use.
Just back of this little village rejoic¬
ing in the euphonious title of Blades
ville—a sort of detached surburb of its
more enterprising rival across the river,
Seaford—is one of these swamps a full
half mile long and perhaps a trifle wider.
On a recent hot July day the writer,
after journeying through blinding hot
sand almost knee-deep, the arrived at the
entrance to swamp, The tall
shrubs, rising fifteen feet high, grew so
elose that their numberless branches
overlapped each other, forming an ap¬
parently impenetrable thicket. A wag¬
on-way led through the swamp, so
there was no adherence possibility of l>ecoming
lost, if a strict to the admoni¬
tion of the popular song of “Keep in de
Middle of de Road,” was maintained.
