A PIKETOWN ROMANCE
Old Peter Cu rani ins was "deown with /the rbemuatiz." Consequently he was 'very peevish.
Ho fcadjjeretl and bullied all who came within hearing of his stentorian voice, fpom hia youngest daughter Martha to pin meek, pdo face! old wife.
Ho found fault with hia ono hired man to such on extent that the latter "quit," paving the plow in the furrow in the back lot, and went in acarch of a place ^where, as ho expressed it, he could fj'chaw bis hash in peace, an' not be cussed at w'enever ho went in ear shot of tho house."
The hired man had not been a rapid worker, and as Peter had been ailing for Weeks his farm work was in a very /backward and chaotic condition.
Tho plowing was no more than half dono, tho potatoes were not planted, the corn ground was not "fitted," and it was already tho middle of May.
Tho farm hands for miles around had all secured situations, and had been at work for weeks. There was not ono to be had for love or money.
It looked as though Peter Cummins would have to worry through tho season as best ho could without a hired mau.
Under tho circumstances Peter did not improve either in health or temper "Drat tho rheunmtfor cried he. "If 1 could only ,git ubou I'd hitch up ole Jerry an' drivo till 1 found a hired man —an' one good for suthin\ too. But hero I am tied down—bound an' gagged —with this peaky rhmimatiz. Ow, wow, wow! wot a lingo thet air was."
Although Peter was, in a certain sense, bound to his chair, ho was very far from stating tho truth when he said ho was gagged, as lria wife, his daughters and every chance passerby could havo testified.
Although plowing and planting were at a standstill on tho farm tho dai^y work went on as briskly as ever, with Miss Susan Cmnmins as general manager and Miss Martha an able assistant.
Thoseveuteen cows were milked bright, and early every morning tho milk was "set" in large, shallow pans, and the cream, at tho proper time, was churned, salted and "worked" into the sweetest of golden butter.
This was not considered hard work by tho tall, broad shouldered, rosy cheeked, blue eyed, flaxen haired Susan, who at 10 years of age was us strong, healthy and cheerful as a girl well could be.
Martha, two years younger, although equally as light hearted as her sister, was •d (Torch in many ways. She rosem bled her mother, who, when a "gal," as she often told her daughters, wws considered a Jreafc beauty,
JSIartha had inherited her mother's coal hpek hair and eyes, creamy complexion -Cud nliui, slender form. She was very pretty, and not a fanner boy for miles around but loved the ground she walked op—especially when she lightly tripped oVer a portion of her father's fertilo soil.
Tho Cummins homestead would have been fairly overrun with admirers of the two girls (for there wore many who ed tho robust Susan's stylo of beauty) for ono thing. They one and all had wholesome fear and dread of Peter's taping, ear piercing, foghorn voice. He mo, when not down with "rhettmatia," elded with much dexterity and accuracy a No. 10 cowhide boot.
Vk
So, because of tho voice and the boot, girls, though greatly admired, had ,o "steady company."
The nearest approach to it was the mree calls Hiram Stubba had made on Btunn.
On his first visit Hiram was very anxious, apparently, to secure Peter's ^dvico as to what he had bettor do with hi* "nine acre lot—eeed it down ear plant it ag'in."
Peter, being in a cheerful mood, for a onder, expatiated And dwelt on the delightful subject at such great length, and Hiram, to propitiate him, gave him each marked and undivided attention, fhat Susan remained unnoticed, save at such rare intervals as Peter went to the door to expectorate. On these occasions Hiram rolled a prominent pewter eye toward the damsel, and made a horded and whispered observation on the state of the weather or solicitously inqui ml as to her health.
The youth's second visit, ostensibly for the purpose of procuring a recipe for a spavin liniment, passed off in much the *&n»e way.
When Hiram, in his stow* clothes, presented himself at the kitchen door of the Cummins homestead for tho third time there was a coolness in the reception tendered him by the old husbandman that should have warned him of breakers ahead.
Peter, being tired and crews, retired early, and the young tam, not to lose any predoss time, at once commenced edging Ws chair toward the Washing and ^peetaei damsel.
He rtsaehed Iter side as eooa as coald be expect e»l under the drwtmstanoai, and had just succeeded in partially

They had heard the following
that
words, uttered in a tone of voice ccaild be heard a full mile "Hi, there, Susan Send thet air towhoaded fool hum, an* mog your boots tew bed. Dew ye heaif
It was wellmiderstood that when Peter said a thing he meant it. He was not only handy with his No. 10 boots, bnt was a very muscular man and a noted "rough and tumble" wrestler.
In fact Peter »tated no more than the truth when he said "I kin down anything within ten mile In Piketown, with erne exception—thet's the rhenmatiz."
He was also a great worker, being able to "out-hoe, out-mow, out-chop an' onteat" any man that !:e ever had in his employ. "Martha," said Susan a day or two after the hired man had taken his de parture, "we are out of sugar, molasses and spice, and youH have to go to the village with some butter and do some trading."
Of course Martha was perfectly willing to do so. She would not only have a pleasant ride, bnt would also have the pleasure of seeing Joe Smith, who "clerked if in Piketown's one store.
Accordingly, after packing' a few dozen eggs in oats and placing several rolls of golden butter in an earthenware jar, "Old Jerry" was hitched np, and Martha, with a great fluttering of ribbons and rustling cf skirts, climbed into the old buggy wagon and started for Piketown.
She reached tho village without mishap, did her trading, ood after conversing for some time with Joe Smith headed old Jerry for home.
She had left the village about two miles behind when she saw a young man trudging along ahead of her in the dusty road, dilapidated carpet bag in hand.
Ho seemed to bo footsore and tired, and cs Martha was a land hearted little thing, and as there was plenty of room in the big, coffin boxed buggy, she halted and asked him to ride.
The invitation was accepted with alacrity, and Martha found herself seated beside a broad shouldered, trim built young man, perhaps 25 years of age. His curly chestnut hair \va3 closely cropped, and his sandy mustache had been recently trimmed. His dark and flashing eye proclaimed him to be a quick tempered individual, while Ids square, massivo jaw denoted determination, if not obstinacy and pugnacity. "Have you walked far?" queried Martha after old Jerry had jogged on some distance. "Aboufc fifteen milea." was the reply. "Fact is I'm loolrin£j for job. Do yon know of any ono around here who would like to
hiro
man
for a
few mouths''"
"Why, yes," stiid Martha. Papa's hired man has loft him, his farm work is in terrible shape and ho ia sick. I am quito sure ho will hire you. You, however, will find him very cross. He is always that way when ho ill." "Oh, I shall not mind that in t.he least," replied tho young man cheerfully. "I am out of a job and out of money, and under the circumstances would work for Lucifer himself. May 1 inquire your name?* "My namo is Martha Cummins- And /yours" "Is Robert Sharp."
At that moment old Jerry turned into the Cummins door yard and sedately walked up to tho kitchen door.
Martha, with tho assistance of Robert Shaii), nnloaded her purchases, and taking Jerry by the bridle started for the bam. "Let me lie your hostler," said the stranger, stepping forward, "Yon go into the housa and I will av.end to the horse."
The young man soon returned to tho house, and was ushered into the old fanner's presence.
As Peter was greatly in need of help, and Robert Sharp was greatly in need of employment, a bargain satisfactory to both was soon struck,
Peter at once saw that his new hired man was a great worker. Within a week he had the plowing all done and a part of the ground ready for planting.
The old husbandman's mind being thus placed at rest he soon got the better of his rheumatism and went to work with a will.
As has been already stated, Peter prided himself on the Met that he had never had an employe who was able to do as much work hoi a day as could he.
It had always been his custom to "race it" with every new man he hired. When after a more or lees close and exciting contest his antagonist either tadtly or openly admitted his defeat Peter would say: "Wal, yew dew wot ye kin. Yew can't hev more uvof neat than her skin an* it hain't to be expected that yew, er any man in this part uv the ken try. kin keep his eend np with old Peter. Dew wot ye kin."
One evening, having fully recovered his health and strength. Peter said to Robert Sharp: «Tm goin' deown tew Piketown this evenin' tew buy tne a new hoe. Tewmorrer. yew know, we air tew plant the Green lot tew w^te flint corn. Yew go to bed arly an' rest jest all yew kin, fear yew'll hev tew git right tew the front tew-morrer, an" don't yew furgit it."
Bright and early the next morning the two men started for the "Green lot," the hired man carrying a beu? of sead corn, while Peter flourished two bright new hoes.
Said tho farmer as soon «s the lot was reached "fm' jcat a-going tew make this new hoe fly tewday. This piece has got tew be planted afore night.*
With these words, having fifled to overling his planting bag with o«& and hi* month with tobacco, be strock out at a twiSc rate of speed, the hired manfstowing after...

in froot streamed ont behind like the tail of a kite. His long gray hair was blown about his swarthy face, his bine checked shirt, filled with wind, puffed out lite a balloon his tan colored overalls bagged at the knee, and his mammoth boots, pushed along through the soft, sandy soil, made & shallow canal on each fade of his row.
Firmly grasping in one big hand his new hoe and in the other no less than a half pint of corn Peter, puffing and blowing like a locomotive, worked him self across the field at a high rate of speed.
Looking behind him occasionally the exulting husbandman would yell "Come on. Come on. Thought yew knew heow to plant corn. Git a gait on ye. Git a gait on ye. Haw! haw! hawf
At the end of the first "bout" the hired man was several yards behind, and Peter, in a high state of exultation and perspiration, took a double shuffle on fence board which chanced to lay upon the gronnd near by. He then took a "chaw of terbacker," refilled his planting bag, spat upon his hands, and, seizing his new hoe, struck out with renewed vigor. "I guess 111 let ont a link or two this bout," said the sandy mustacbed young man to himself, f*
He did so, and not only4 passed the hitherto invincible one, but kept the lead until the dinner hour sounded.
Yes, Peter had at last found his match —and a little more. Although he struggled manfully and well, and received the assistance of many chews of tobacco although he shoved his sleeves far above his elbows, removed his boots and rolled up his tan colored overalls although he wielded his new hoe with a desperation bom of despair, and paid no attention as to whether he dropped one or twenty kernels in a lull, he at fength had to own himself out-planted, beaten, vanquished. He did it in these words: "This tarnal new hoe hangs" out te'w much."
Robert Sharp could not only out-plant Peter, but he could, and did, out-hoe, out-mow and out-chop him.
One would naturally suppose that the farmer would have been greatly pleased with so able an assistant. He was not, however. He disliked the young man because he had taken from him his prominence as a worker.
It was known for miles around that Peter Cummins had at last found.a man who was his superior at all kindsjjf husbandry.
The old tiller of the soil grew to hate his vanquisher. The young man's presence was a constant reminder to Peter of the many defeats ho had suffered at his hands.
And so ho began to cast about for an excuse, good or bad, for discharging him.
He found one sooner than he expected. One moonlight evening in August Peter paid his nearest neighbor a visit, and coming home through his back lane at about 9 o'clock came spat upon a couple seated on log beneath the wide spreading branches of a chestnut tree.
The young man's arm encircled the maiden's slim waist, her head rested on his broad shoulder, and their hands were clasped.
As they were deeply absorbed in taking an nstronomical observation the presence of a third p^rty was

"Martha!" roared the irate husbandman as though hia daughter was a mile away, "you ciog your boots tew the house tuij minute. Come, neow, git. As fur yew (turning to tho hired man) yew come with

xmthin' but a pesky, no-

Why didn't ho do
BO?

Perhaps he sa%y a glitter in Robert's dark eye, and an ominous clinching of his sunburned hand that convinced him that "discretion was the better part of valor."
Robert Sharp went to the farm house, received his wages, and thrusting his few belongings into his old carpet bag left the Cummins homestead, as Peter thought, forever.
Before taking his departure he asked to see Martha for a moment, bnt the request was greeted with a stentorian "Nor
Susan, however, bade Mas a cordial farewell, and slyly slipped into his hand a tightly rolled piece of paper.
The next day after dismissing his hired man Peter went to Piketown, and falling in with some old cronies did not leave the village till nearly 10 o'clock at night.
When within about a mile of his home he meta rapidly driven wagon in which were seated a man and woman.
Although the woman was heavily veiled and the man polled his hat well down over his eyes the tdd farmer at once recognised his younger daughter and his former hired man. "WboaF roared Peter, swinging faja horse across the road, thna_ stopping the farther progress of the evidently eloping

Martha and Robert, being leas than a mile away, heard Peter's words, and after a moment's consultation the exhired man tnmed his horse about and drove to the scene of the late impromptu wrestling match. ''Bob," shouted Peter, holding his haod out toward the young man, "yew kin hev the gal in welcome. D'ye hear? In welcome. Ye*re worthy nv her. Any man that outplants, outhoes and outmows old Pete Cummins, an'tew cap all slams him on his back the way yew hev, is worthy nv the best gsl within ten mile uv Piketown."
The week following the above related incident Robert Sharp and Martha Cummins were married.
The wedding festivities were of a high order and on a very elaborate scale. The supper went beyond anything in the calinary line that had been known in that vicinity within the memory of "the oldest inhabitants."
The Piketown full string band was in attendance, and Peter, resplendent in a white shirt with a very high collar, a long tailed black coat, bine jean trousers and newly tallowed boots, danced a breakdown with a vigor and abandon unknown to the rising generation.
The boys all "danced till broad daylight, and went home ^with the girls in the morning."
Peter is very proud of his son-in-law, and permits him to do nearly all the farm work and a share of the planning.
He is willing at any time to lay a wager that "Bob Sharp—my son-in-law —kin outplant, outhoe, outmow an' outrassel any man within ten miles nv Piketown."—Thomas Burke in Detroit Free Press.
Where She lived.
It is strange how difficult some persons find it to answer a simple question directly. Even the fact that time, other people's time, is valuable does not disturb their enjoyment in chatting of various things which have no bearing on the two or three words which their interlocutors wait more or less patiently to hear. The following conversation took place not long ago in a busy savings bank.
Said tho cashier. ''Where do you live, madam?" "Well, I just came up from the Cape. My sister's just been married, and her husband has a fine place down there. He's doing well, is Amelia's husband, and I'm glad of it. They say" "Excuse me, madam," interrupted the cashier, "I wish to fill in this blank with your residence." "-Well, I was going to tell you. She wanted me to go down and visit her at the Cape. So I've been down there a month. She wouldn't hardly let me come up today. She said I must stay a week longer, anyway. But I thought"—
Again the official protested, "What is your address now?" "As I was saying, I am going to look for a boarding placo. I don't know yet where HI stay. I want a place to suit me for all winter. And I can't decide"— She paused a minute for breath, and seemed rather surprised to be asked sternly: «'Where haV6 you be&ii'staying? That address will do." "Why, at my sister's, down on the Cape. 1 never make long visits, bnt I've been there more than a month, she being just married and thinking a sight of me."
Yes where does your sister live? Down ou the Cape'' Whereabouts on the Cape? What town?" "Athensville." ?£'r
And the cashier and four customers who had been waiting breathed a sigh q{ relief as Bpo turned away murmuring that Athensvllle wasn't really a town, bnt that her married sister liked living there very welL—Youth's ComI"""00*,
IM A Unique Fernery.
In the ttiiain glass covered building In the Botanical garden, amid all the wealth of tropical plants, Mr. Smith, the superintendent of that department of the annex to the Agricultural department proper (which is kept np as a governmental source tor bouquets and bontonaires for senators and members), has arranged a carved stone fernery that has a history, and it has also given him some trouble to explain its history, at the expense of his character for truthfulness.
When the old senate chamber doors were taken down the superintendent of the Botanical gardens had the stone arch above one of the doors removed to Ms main conservatories,where it was placed contiguous to an artificial pod of water or fountain, and toAde a mantel for arboseecent plants that for effective beauty surpasses nature herwHL Unfortunately in a Jocular moment he told some one that the stone mantel was relic from the ruins of Hercttlanssam. For months after wives£nd daughters of seaatcaa, members and othexs interested in lbs antiquaries bothered him almost unto deafii for its nnigtie history.
