Not a Question of Location.

Well, I took Mrs. Arp down in the lowland wheat this 1 evening, where it is thick and green and tall, and I explained to her all about the wheat being first in the boot, and then in the milk, and then in the dough, aad as we walked along in the water furroi 11 said that it reminded me of the old' long of “Coming Through the Rye,’ that I would change it a little, and say: "If a body meet a body coming through the wheat. And a body kiss a body wouldn't It be sweet?” And she smiled and said the rye of the poet was not a field, but a rocky branch named Rye, and the lassie was wading through it when her lover met her on the rocks and kissed her. So that knocked all the poetry out of the situation and I said no more on the subject, but I’ve seen the day when that wheat field would have been as good a place for the business as a branch, and, if anything, bqtter.— Bill Arp, in the Atlanta Constitution.
