"PEA-TATo."

An Alabama Man Has q New Garden
'Tll tell you OF a queer experiment
neighbor OF mine made with a pea
and a potato. said native OF the
sunny south.

works in a small foundry in our town
and Is a core maker by trade. That
fellow is always scheming around

to invent something. l was looking
over his garden fence one day last
spring while Simpson was planting
potatoes and he came up to where I
was standing. holding potato In his
hand.
See this potato he said ~
II said Yes
We'll he said I'm going to get
a pea and force it into the heart Of
this potato. Then we will watch and
see how 1t comes up -
He took the pea out of his pocket
pushed hole into the potato with
his lead pencil and then pushed the
pea into the center. Thon he took
the pea to the center OF the garden
and planted it. For months visited
the garden daily and watched the
growth OF that pea. tato. it came up
most remarkable plant can
hardly describe it to you. 1t was a
commingling Of the two with the po-
tato dominating the pea. The potato
plant looked like sweet potato vine
and ran along the ground, throwing
out shoots that took root The flower
Of the plano was not the ordinary
cream yellow one OF the potato. 1t
was mixture OF the Same shape as
the daisy with white yellow and
pink petals OF a very pale hue. The
fruit OF the plant was much like the
ordinary potato only IL was much
smaller with skin OF cream color.
1t did not taste much different from
the ordinary potato although there
was just smack OF pea soup about
it. The plant fiourished we'll enough
and did not require much care. Simp.
son says that next year he will plant
several rows In this manner. as no
seems to prefer the new kind to the
old. rather think that the new plant
is good one although some other
vegetable might do botter."

Mrk +. w. Giersch. who resides near
Tannersville, Pn., lnl an experience
week or two ago that would have
caused most ladies to die with fright.
While going to tie corn-field near the
house she unexpectedly found an old
bear and three cubs helping them
selves, without any authority what
ever, to their winter supply of corn.
Not being prepared for such IN ener-
yency, and knowing that discretion Is
the better part OF valor, Mrs. Glersch
returned home for achievements. A
dog that was with her tackled the bears
but, after tussle, found the contest
unequal and also withdrew. When
the linen folks" returned home q hunt
was organized, bus the bear family
had moved.

Only a Small Favor.

Although it is familiar saying that
an Irishman is always spelling for a
fight, still there is one kind of fighting
to which even the brave sons of Erin
are sometimes averse; this is dueling.
A story well illustrating this fact has
recently come to us.
A certain .Irishman having been
challenged to fight duel accepted the
conditions after much persuasion on
the part of his friends, who felt conf
dent of his success. His antagonist,
lame man, walked on crutches.
When the place for the shooting had
been reached the lame mans seconds
asked that b. be allowed to lean against
milestone which happened TO stand
there. The privilege was allowed and
the lame man took his stand.
The Irishman and his seconds drew
off to the distance agreed upon, 100
feet. Here Pats courage suddenly fail
ed him and he shouted to the lame
man:
"Pve small favor to ask of ye, sor.
"What is it?" asked the cripple.
Pat answered.: 81 tould ye that ye
might lean agin the mile-post and now
1 would like the privilege of leanin
agin the mkt one."
The laugh that followed spoiled
every ybody's desire for a fight and the
whole party went away without shot
being fired. = Youths Companion.

MY House In the Air.

notice the house that built in the air,
With clapboards of clouds and with shingles
of mist
And with paint of aerial amethyst,
Stands more firmly the shock of Times ruoe
wear and tear,
And is not so like TO get out of repair
AS my house with foundation of granite.
And though scoffers may jeer at my house in
the air
With the gibes that are glib and sarcastic,
Those hard-headed fellows of dollars ana
cents,
Whose whole life consists in collection OF
rents,
Have never yet been in my parlor up there,
And sat in my easy and dream-haunted chair
In the waving cloud turrets fantastic
No mortgage, we thrifty collectors of rents.
Can clap on my cloud-bosomed mansion;
No real estate broker can enter Its walls,
For the drawbridge comes up and the portcul-
lis falls;
pretense,
No welcome for you; so arise and go hence,
From this home of the souls expansion.
Then stay with your ledgers, and cipher and
plan,
And jeer at the house of my vision;
T. suugly enscOnced in its vapOry walls,
Or walking entranced in its shadowy halls,
Can laugh in my turn at your ctpher1ng clan.
That has made such a tragic distortion OF
man,
And hold your whole tribe in derision.

Smith, after many years of missionary
service in that country, to writer Ior
the Youths Companion. To shut the
door is bad sign. "What is going on

low townsmenP" people are likely to
say. There are no newspapers, no
objects of general and human interest
to attract attention, and as men and
women must be interested in some
thing. it is natural that they should
be fond of neighborly gossip. From
Mr.. Smiths account of the matter 1t
is plain how very little Chinese and
Yankees have in common.
Every Chinese has relatives beyond
all count or remembrance. His wife
has as many more. His married chill

By the time he is 60 years of age a
man is related to hundreds upou hum
dreds of individuals, each of whom ls
entirely conscious of the relationship,
and does not forget or ignore it.
Not only do all the members OF this
array of relatives feel themselves en-
titled to know all the details of ones

do the same. If man is rich. or a

BRADHURsT's BOY.

The following anecdote is told by
Walter Camp in the Century in an art
icle on college Athletics" "WeI,
I've sent him, George; but don't be-
lieve they will have him six months
before he gets into some scrape, re-
marked General Bradhurst to one of
his old friends, whose advice he had
taken in sending a rather self-willed
bov to college. His friend dined with
the general recently, and afterward
related the conversation to me as fol-
lows:

Sunday night noticed he didn't take
any of the e'atree, and wouldn't have
any dessert and turned down his WINE
glass when the claret was passed, and
l thought something must be wrong
with the boys appetite, so l said:
"What ails you, Jim? Digestion out
of order?" "Oh, no." he said; and
that was AL I could get out of him.
When Mary brought in the coffee he

young rascal; "but I'm on the foot
ball team, and we are in training"
and bafore ten o'clock he ended oul
confab with the words: "Well, I'm

to bed he went. Now, George, begin
to believe there must be something in

What She Would Do.

In one of the kindergartens of Gin
cinnati, says the Commercial. the teach
er was endeavoring to familiarize the
children with the words cold" and
"hot" at sight without spelling them
by letters. When she asked them
what they would get if they went out
of doors in winter without their coats
and pointed at the word they caught
the cue at once and answered cold"
Instantly. But "hot" proved puzzler
for moment.
"Now, Mary" said the teacher to
the little girl in the end seat, suppose
you were standing right close up in
front of tremendously big lire, just
flaming and haring and burning and
blazing away, what would you get?"
"I'd get right away from there" re-
piled the child in matter-of-fact tone
that upset the instructor for the after
noon.

ALITTLE LOVE STORY.

Here is a story of love and court

London Queen. There was young
lover who was compound-yery rare
of high rank and great abilities, with
sweetness, great modesty, and shy
ness, Most noble lords know their
own value, and behave accordingly.
This noble lord, however, was modest.
He thought himself so far-so very
far-below the worth of the young
ladv whom he loved that he was afraid
to speak. Some women do not under
stand this modesty. Believe me. la
