meet the expenses of his next term at
college, are mates.

Of daylight slip by in lettering. Most OF
the pickers are boarded and lodged by
their employers, and on large farms the
choppers boarding houses" are some
times quite important structures, with
separate dormitories for the men and
women. On smaller farms less care Is
taken with these places. All, men and
women alike, are expected TO make their
own beds. The food in most cases Is
abundant and good and includes lib
eral allowance of pie. The tableware is
not of the most delicate china, but IS
usuaIIy chosen because of its solidity.
Sometimes the plates and cups are of tin.
Bat nobody minds that. Nobody goes
hopping for style. Money and fun are

what they are after. and the fun comes
after supper. Then the dances, then
the moonlight walks, then the drives
about the country IN buggies these
for the young folks VINO are inclined
somewhat to sentiment. For the men
aud boys who don't want 70 be bothered
with the girls there arc wrestling
matches and stories and pipes, and some
times little hard cider for n change, but
not often any disreputable proceedings.
y hop dance IS a social function that
possesses its own forms Of etiquette, al
though these vary with the locality. Is
IL possible, by the way, that dances OF
another grade were first called hops"
because the terpsichorean festivities OF
hop harvesters are called ''hop dances?'
Usually the hop dance IS held in the
barn. The floor is swept clean. and the
tanning mill is set outside along with
other agricultural implements that are
usually stored there. The light Is fur
nished by kerosene lamps-sometimes
by candles.
Most Of the girls attire themselves in
white for the occasion. The young men
used TO wear their fine boots, TO their
great physical torture, when was IA
miliar with hop dances, although they
were sometimes content with CREASED
stogas. do not know whether the fine
boot habit still prevails among them or
not, but it is likely that it has succumbed
to the march Of civilization together
with bears grease for the hair. The
music used always to be brought from n
fiddle. The instrument is now more often
n mouth organ. Moneymusll is still a
fayorite dance, and so is the Virginia
reel. In some places they waltz even as
do their fellow dancers at Newport and
Bar Harbcr.
There is n certain awkwardness about
the making up Of the sets that is quite
offset by the vigor Of the dancing when
everything is ready. If the music be
that of the fiddle, the musician calls off
the figures; if a mouth organ, there is a
special caller" and in either case the
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-11-18

| calls are apt to be pitched in the key Of
the music. / remember one old chap
who used to fiddle for so cents dance
and sing his calls in sort of improvised
doggerel to the air he was saving out on
his fiddle. Another would keep up a
running comment in sort of nasal
monotone which he would interrupt at
the proper moment with the words Of
the calling:
'''Step-right-along-the Van-Bus-
kirk. Don't-get-on-the-lad ys-dress. All
sashay! Well-done, fust-rate-Robert-
Johnson-you-are-keeping-step-A-1. La
dies changer And so on.
In the meantime there would be such
lively swinging of partners at corners,
such cutting of pigeon wings at oppor-
tune moments and such eccentricities
generally on tho part of the experts as
greatly delighted all present, but would
fill the breasts of the dancers at fash
ionable city assemblage with the most
profound dismay.
The hop dances of today do not greatly
differ from those of other days, though l
have heard of a series that was held in q
mid New York state village in a rink
this year where an earnest attempt was
made to conform to urbap ideals in
dancing and etiquette. THE result was
interesting :. sometimes dudes from the
to .s- - invade the hop dance and try to
mouopolize the attention of all the pref
test girls. When that happens, look out
for storm. 1t won't do, however, to as
sumo that it is always the dudes who
get the worst of it, although that is usu
ally the result of n contest between them
and pickers, owing in some measure pos
sibly to the superior numbers of the
picl1ers, who generally stick by each
other.
With variations the hop pickers of the
east and west and of merrie, merrie Eng
land are alike. Coin 'oppin" they call
it in the tight little island, and the ranks
of the "'oppers' are largely recruited
from London and other cities as they are
from cities here. In the state of Wash
ingtOn Indians have done most of the
picking till lately, when the Chinese be-
gan to take the places Of the redskins.
The hop picking Indians came from
British Columbia and as far north as
southern Alaska. crossing the straits of
Fuca and the gulf of Georgia TO get to
the hopfields.
In their way they fill the hours of
night with merriment the same as the
white picl,ers of the east. but when the
Chinese pick hops by day they sleep and
smoke by night. Chinese hop pickers
are not popular save with the owners of
the yards.
Hop picking is healthy employment,
and many persons engage in it for
season or two simply as a recuperative
measure. AS manual labor goes it pays
we'll, and there are probably in every
hop raising neighborhood whole families
who earn almost all the money they ex-
pend during the entire 10 months at hop
picking time. /. d. MARSHALL

simple Words the Best.

The following little story is told of a
citizen of Port Chester, n. Y, whose ed
ucation was somewhat superior to his
wife's, fact regarding which she was
very sensitive.
On one occasion the man drove over to
White Plains to inquire regarding the
health of his sister-in-law, who was dan
gerously i'll. Upon returning he was
met by his wife, who asked Of her sis
ter's condition.
''She is convalescent." replied the man.
Immediately and in the most emphatic
manner the woman cried out: Il want
none of your soothing words. I want
facts. You tell me this minute, Is my
sister dead or alive::"-New York Herald.

MURDER BY A MOTHER.

Mrs. Philip Kerch, the wife of a we'll
to-do farmer near Pleasant Hill, this
county, murdered four of her children
yesterday and then committed suicide.
MIR. and Mrs. Kerch had lived on the
farm for sixteen years. and moved there
from Ohio. They had eight children.
the oldest of whom, Mollie, was seven
teen years old For some time Mrs.
Kerch had been melancholy, and fire.
Ouently said that she was afraid she
would die and leave her children. She
seemed to be in good health, however.
except that she sometimes complained
of trouble in her side. After dinner
Mrs. Kerch went to Mollie and quietly
said to her. who was at work Ill the
laundry:
Il have given Johnnie and Freddie
poison, and We will all jump into the

MoIie remembered that bottle of
strychline was in the house, and she

the crazed mother threw three-year-
old child after the infant and was in the
act of seizing boy eight or nine years
old, but Mollie rescued the child. A
desperate struggle then began between
mother ana daughter, but the infuriated
women broke loose and jumped into
the well, which had eight teet of water
in it. Freddie, who had been given the
rolson. was found lying dead on the
floor of the house, and Johnnie died a

But on her return, although her nest
was stuck against the red sash, in strong
contrast, in plain sight, she seemed un-
able to recognize it. She had been ap-
preaching it at point where the NOV
able Stats were tilted downward (When
cloSed); but of course, now that the
blind was open, these all inclined up
ward. On the other leaf, however,
though much lower down, were some
Stats tilted much as the others had
been. and through these she made
repeated entrances, only to crawl out
into the open light some distance
from her nest, though she always start
ed in the same relative direction that it
lay from the other Stats when in place.
She was evidently much confused and
distressed. She would fly out little
further each time, seemingly to think
that she had not made the right ap-
proach. sometimes going out from under
the porch and returning. At last
she dropped her pellet and began
crawling investigation, passing
often within few inches of

to have never seen 1t. After much OF
