That Nutmeg Story.
At the recent banquet of the New Haven
chamber of commerce Governor Cooke de
nied the old story that Connecticut once
flooded the market with wooden nutmegs.
“If we are not mistaken,” says the New
Haven Register, “this is the first time any
official attempt has been made to relieve
the state of this undesirable reputation,
and if it is properly followed up, will
doubtless assume the proportions of a
public service. Wo must confess that un
til now we had never regarded the tradi
tion other than a fiction. The humor of it
has appealed to us, and as we have imag
ined our ancestors busily employed
throughout the day, fashioning out of the
hearts of old oaks counterfeit nutmegs, it
has seemed that their hard, severe life
must have hud a lot of unsuspected humor
in it. ”
As Usual.
to had been particularly obstreperous
that day, and being at all times a particu
larly obstreperous little boy it meant more
than it did where ordinary individuals are
concerned. “Now, Reggy,” said his moth
er at bedtime, “I’m going to have visitors
tomorrow, and if you’re going to act like
this wo might just as well give it up first
as last. Won’t you try to do better, dear?
Do for once behave yourself and be a dear,
sweet, good little boy. Be courteous and
respectful and considerate, and"— “I
know,” he interrupted sympathetically,
“just like lalwaysact. ” —New York Sun.
