Just then the door opened, and in marched
Miss Sampson Savage But before go on,
had ought tell you something about her. She's
oic of the big buys here-thatis, she's got more
than a most anybody else in town. She was a
tailoress when she was gal, and they say she
used to make dreadful sight Of mischief among
the folks where she seewl. But that was when
she lived in Varmont. When Mr.. Savage mar
ried he, he was one of these ere SPECTATORS -
Wonderful fellers to make money, them Var
monters Husband says they come over the
Green Mountains with spelin-book in one hand
and halter i'll tother and if they cant get a
school to teach, they can steal hoss. When
they first cum to our place, he was folleriH the
tin-peddlin business, he used to 20 rumblng a.
round in his cart from house to house, and the
rich folks ruther turnnd up their noses at him.
or he conceited they did, and it made him ay-
full rathy; so he determined he'd be richer fli3tn
any on EN- and pay thcni off III their own coNi.
Old Smith says he's heard him time and again
make his boast that he'd ride over all their heads
some day--ddent seem to have no higher cend
in view than to be the richest man in Scrabble
Hill. He sot his heart and soul and body on t
and KNOWN how to turn every cent to the best
advantage, and bcin wonderful sharp at a bar
gain he succeeded; everything he took hold OF
lprospercl, and without actually bain what you
could call dishonest, atore many years every
body allowed he was the richest man iii the
place. So he built great big stun house and
furnished it wonderful grand; his wife wouldcnt
have bit of furnitewer made hsre-Nothin
would dew but she must send to Philadelphia
fort.
And such furnitewer was never seen in the
town atore. Such elegant sorys AMI cheers and
don't know the name Of and | guess she don't
neither. So she sot up for laly. She was
always coarse boisterous, high tempered crit
ter, and when her husband crowd ridh, she
crowd pompous and oyerboarin. She made up
her mind she'd rule the roost, no matter what il
cost--she'd be the .frstin Scrabble Hill. She
knowd she want lady by natur nor by eldi-
cation but she thought manny other folks wo'd
be fools enough to think she was, if she made a
great parade. So she begun by dressin more,
and givin bigger parties than anybody else
OF course, them that thinks moneys the main
thing (ani thers plenty such here and every
where is ready to hatter her and make fuss
over her, and approve of al her dewins
theirs anybody that wont knuekle tew her tel
ye they have to take it about cast She abuses
EN- to their faces and ISLANDERS EN- to their backs
Such conduct wouldn't be put up with in poor
woman; but them that would be for Gruii;mr
me out O. town if should act so, is ready tC
uphold Miss Samson Savage and call it inpe,
pandence and frankness in her. She's got 81
she prides herself on it,. She says she aint
afeard to tell folks What SHE thinks Of em-i
she don't like anybody theyknow it purity soon
Husband says he wouldn't think it no harm tC
set her ncighbors house a fire IL she done it il
the day-tinse. She shows her independence il
another way sometimes, by riggin out in ole
duds that would disgrace washerwoman, ant
trainn roun town, maxim calls and SO fortf
sometimes man old wagin and sometimes foot
Ittickles her wonderfully to hear folks whisper
as she goes along-"Jest see Miss Savage
that Ii do for her but twouldnt do for every body.
When she goes out in company, she nopolizes
the hull o the conversation. She's determined
that everybody in the room shall have the ben.
eft Of all she has to say. So she talks up SC
awful loud that she drounds everybody elses
voice, and they have to listen to her whether q
no. was to a party spell ago where she was
and from the minnit she came in-- thank fortin
she never comes early-always keeps the tea
waitinfor her)-I say from the minnit sht
come till it broke up, she talked without cessa.
