Old Times.

Ed. RegiSter-I have read in a num-
Der of newspapers, of late, how par
tridges drum; but not one said anything
about catching them. Down at my old
home, in the Connecticut river valley,
there are large tracts of sandy land
back against the mountains, where the
ocean has, at some time of the world s
history, beat up against those noun
tains, and left large tracts of white
sand, where nothing will grow but
white pine and white birch. | have
lseen tracts of that sand covered with
young pine so thick no bush or weed
or grass could grow-the pines SO close
together they grew up almost like cane
bra kes. We would go to those thick
cts to get our fishing-poles. The trees
G rev SO thick together that you could
not see the sun through the thick tops,
they were so matted together. The
with the brown. dead pine needles or
leaves. The only things that could
grow were wintergreens and partridge
berries and little vine called ground
p inc. In the spring of "the year, as
soon as the snow has disappeared, you
can see millions of little pale red things
pushing up through the brown pine
needles, with three leaves about half
inch long and a little narrower, the
leaves folded fiat against each other
the stem about three inches high when
W ell up. These little leaves are very
tender and delicious to eat, with mild
wintergreen flavor. After few weeks,
they have attained their growth, about
one and half inches by one inch.
They are then very tough. Under each
leaf you will see beautiful white
flower, with a faint color of pink
shaped and looking like the lily of the
valley. After a while, a pale-red berry
takes the place of the flower. These
berries are very sweet and nice to eat.
Every boy and girl in that country will
gather their hands and pockets full to
eat.
Our old Westinghouse On the hill
was surrounded by these pine groves,
and every Sunday noon, between the
morning and afternoon service, every
boy and girl would be found making
their way among the pines gathering
wintergreens. And such time eating |
them during the afternoon meeting! |
shall never forget one Sabbath. All |
the young folks had been out in the
woods and had filed their pockets as
full as they could stuff. Every boys
and girls jaws were just going, eating
those delicious leaves, and they made
such noise the minister could not
preach. He stopped in the middle of
his sermon and requested the tithing
man to 60 through all the pews in the
gallery and gather up all the things the
boys and girls were eating. Such a
scene | never saw before. As each boy
his pockets and handed them
over to the tithing man. he would pile
them on his arm ntilthey were all de-
livered up, and then deposit them on a
vacant seat. You should have seen the
smiles on the faces of the congregation.
All this time the minister stood with
his arms leaning on the desk before
him. After all the green's were gath
cred in, he said, s.If you have got them
all in, we will proceed with the SER
mon.'' And didn't those boys and
girls faces look rosy! I think that.was
the last time I ever saw wintergreens,

DO Farmers Want Direct Taxation?
When the tariff question was being
discussed in Congress, and the Demo-
Gratis were loudly condemning import
duties, Representative Mllliken, of
Maine. put some questions to the sup
porters of free trade which they de-
clined TO answer. Among other things
he said: Whatever our people pro-
duce to sell abroad goes out to our for
eign customers free of any export tax.
But why should we levy import duties?
Well, il cost during the last fiscal wear
S:i65. 600 900 to carry on our government.
We raised Sl45, ,G00,oo0 by our internal
revenue taxes upon alcoholic liquors
and tobacco. Si.oo0,000 by the sale of
public lands and S23 ,00O.UO0 from mis-
celIaneous sources. These sums left
Sl93, 900, 900 10 be raised IN some other
WAY.
How should this be done BY di
rect taxation on property Have our
farmers, who are more heavily taxed
than anv other class OF the community,
considered what would be the furden
upon them? What would be the con-
dition OF that great INDUSTRY which pro

An article entitled "a California Farm

the largest OF the California beet sugar
