A 'roothpick Adventure.

Went down to Smyrna last week to
look at house. As was riding along
the road with Maj. Barry we passed
couple of fields that were filled with
such wild, tangled confusion OF BUSH
es that they resembled a jungle.
s.That,' said the Major, lis Merrl-
hew's Toothpick Plantation
81 don't understand.
s.You see, Merrihew owned that
farm, and he got along we'll enough
until one day an idea struck him. He
came to me and he said: Barry, Zee
got just the biggest idea you ever heard
Of. Barry says he, there are about
eight million men in this country ,ain't
there? Well, how many toothpicks
does each man use in a year! Say
four month on an average; that's
about fifty a year apiece, or four hun
dred million a year for the whole ma
ton. Now what is the best tOOthplck
in the world? It's thorn-say two
inches long, hard smooth, with 4 sharp
point, and not likely to break. I've
got bush full Of them on my place,
and going to grow 'em, fill the whole
farm with 'em, introduce 'em to the
trade, and make my fortune
$50, sure enough. Merrihew went to
work and sewed about It's acres in
those thorn bushes, and the next sum-
mer he had the awfullest crop of 'em
you ever saw. Filled the whole place.
When the thorns were grown Merri-
hew employed twenty men to pick EN-.
1t took 'em about month at two dol
lars day for each man. That was
one thousand dollars. Then he got the
toothpicks tied up in bundles, and he
sent 'em up to the city. After shin
ming around for five or six weeks, tly-
ing in vain to sell 'em, a man offered
him forty dollars for the lot, and he
accepted the bid.
The forty dollars just paid his board
bill and carried him home. Two days
afterward the man had him arrested
for fraud, because the toothpicks
poisoned the mouths of his customers,
and the court made him refund the
money and pay the costs. By the
time the case was settled the thorn
bushes had grown SO fast that an ele-
plant clad in sheet iron couldn't have
made his way through one of the
fields, and when Merrihew got some of
his friends to come out and advise
him what to do, they decided that it
would cost more to clear off the land
than the property was worth land they
counseled him to let it alone. So he
did, and now he is driving a mule
team for a man in Smyrna for dol.
, lar and half day, and the toothpick
plantation is going to seed, The very
sight of toothpick sets Merrihew
crazy, and it s no wonder, is it?'
, Any man who feels an interest in
, toothpick culture can find a good open
ing down near Smyrna. Merrihew
wants to sell out.
