this to know that he has missed Sabbath
with one of the gentlest, lovel;est characters
in history. Mr.. Barrett's house is large
ana white, and has the air of shrinking
mcdesty so noticeable in its great, but
utterly unconscious, owner.
Mr.. Robson was found at his house, walk
ing under the trees and thoughtfully eating
green apples, of which he is passionately
fond. He raises upward of (6O) sixty bar
rels of apples on his estate each year, any
one of which is fatal.
"A neighbor of mine had an odd expert
enee with his apples the other day." said
Robson. "He has some of this same breed.
1t is an apple which will turn when it is
trodden upon. Nobody but a cider press
can eat one and live. This friend of mine
went out one day and discovered boy
named James sitting up in the branches of
his apple tree eating the luscious fruit and
filling his shirt and trousers with enough to
stay his stomach when he got home. 1

soil was delivering his tribute to the dead.
But Mr. Robson could not get in. He
stated to those on the outskirts of the crowd
that he was lone of the pail bearers and
must get in"
"Oh, look at the pail bearer" remarked
the crowd. "Isn't he pretty pail bearer?"
oueried those who could not get in them
selves, as they bored holes in Mr.. Robson
with their keen elbows. He tried once more
to make it understood that he was one of the
pail bearers, but his voice split up the back
and loud round of mirth was the imme-
diate reply.
"Afterward," said Mr.. Robson, "I
learned that several others had tried to get
in before 1 arrived, on the ground that they
were pallbearers, and so the crowd was
ready for me. By that time, if had known
that by giving my name 1 would have been
carried in on bed of roses, could not have

heard man say: "He is, indeed, a healthy
looking pallbearer, is he not? He is prob
ably someone who lives here in Boston, and
has made bet that he would get in and
hear the address. Or perhaps he is man
who furnishes gloom for funerals. He
looks like it. Did you notice his sad face?"
Mr.. Robins then came away, and, taking
a slow train for Cohasset, was very soon
home.
A WARM WELCOME HOME.
Probably since the days of Damon and
Pythias there has rarely been such deep de-
votion and affection between two men as
that which existed between Robson and
Charlie Thorne EVERYTHING about the
place brings back to "Rob'' the memory of
his old friend, especially the welcome that
Thorne always had for him when he got
home. Thorne was always there first, con-
cealed behind a big tree near the door.

among others, was asked to act rs pail

that be would ieel honored TO accept, and at

"'Do not speak of it said the old man
softly. He told the doctor and me and his
mother about it last night. He was very

errand is unnecessary, however, sir, the boy

Then the man went home and did not
laugh any for two or three days. ANY bov
almost can pick on him now and he does
not resent it.
Robson tells a story as well as anybody 1
know, and wish L might do it half as we'll
in print as he does in conversation. He is
full of "reminiscences and all of them of in
terest. He tells of a little incident in the
life of the elder Booth which was not of
such great importance OF history, but 1
would have given good sum it 1 could
have been concealed somewhere so that I
could have seen the performance.
Young Edwin Booth was just then get
ting so that he could play the banjo pretty
well. He was doing so in his fathers study
one day whan the great Forrest entered.
The elder Booth had the most profound re-
spect and esteem for The genius of Forrest
and So he tried to get Edwin to conceal his
flippant banjo. But Forrest grandly mo-
toned him to 60 on with it.
"Do you play Zip Coon,' Edwip?" asked
Mr.. Forrest in deep, reyerbrating tones.
''Yes sir"
"Play it."
The great Hamlct then proceeded to
plunk the exilarating notes of the late Mr.,
Coon.
Forrest conversed with the elder Booth a
little, but he kept time with his foot to the
lascivious pleadings of young Edwin's
banjo.
do you play Gray Eagle Edwin?"
asked the great Forrest.
"Yes, sir"
"Play it."
Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Forrest still conversed
in a rambling way, but they kept time to
the melodious plunkings OF the young trage-
dian.
do you play the Sailors Hornpipe,
Edwin?''
"Yes, sir"
"Play it."

others have plain weather-beaten boards at

Mrs. CANFIELD, wife of prof. Garfield
president of the national teachers asso-
citation, was with her husband at the
meeting at Nashville last month. They
had been entertained by the best people
in the city and Mrs. Garfield returned the
hospitality by writing of the whites reluct-
ance to associate with the negroes. She
closed her letter with the spiteful wish:
May then be in some convenient corner
IN the sky to look down on the spectacle OF
black heels on white necks." The pub.
LEGATION of this letter naturally created
indignation In Nashville. Mrs. Garfield
it seems, did not associate with the blacks
while in Nashville. She chose the com.
pany of the whites and then in very bad
taste criticised those whose hospitality
she enjoyed for not doing what she failed
to do herself. There are lots of Canfelds
in the world.

HE most amusing thing connected
with the striking grand army department
commanders is the repeated declaration
that there would be no railroads and no
United States If it had not been for the
soldiers. Where in thunder would the
railroads have gone. The United States
would have been money in pocket if the
south was let go and then buy the whole
section at $50 per acre and pay $1,000
each for the blacks and the white trash.
Judging from the sectional feeling now
existing it would be blessed thing if
the south had gone bag and baggage and
have all communication cut off with the
north. II what republican politicians
say is true the south has been drag up
on US and It was sad mistake to force
it back into the union.
