VOL. XXXVIII---NO. As.

the familiar refrain, "COue, go long,
ye'Ye got to harrerr -
During the afternoon Bill often
looked across at the deacon and horse,
and expressed, sometimes to himself,
sometimes to the nigh OK, his belief
that the deacon had met his match.
Then, as he looked again, and remem-
bered how determined Deacon Moses
always was, he would change his
mind and say, WAL, by back, the
old man'll fetch him yit.''
By and by the horn was blown for
supper but the deacon little needed.
He only called to Bill and told him
to see to all the chores, as he couldn't
leave the field yet awhile; then he
tapped the reins gently and repeated
the well-worn formula, Come, go
long, got to harrer!''
Bill ate his supper, did the chores,
and prepared to go to bed. Then he
thought he would just look to see how
the deacon was getting along with his
job. So to the field he went in the
darkness-it was now nine o'clock in
the evening-there to find the trium
plant deacon riding on the harrow
across the field as fast as the horse
could haul him.
They did not stop as Bill approach
ed, but the deacon shouted as he went
past, Had to harrer, didn't he p
1t is worth recording that ever after
ward tie horse remembered his lesson
and never showed any symptoms of
ballliness. AS the deacon would have
said, He knew he'd got to harrer.n
WHIT 4 SPANISH LADY BROUGHT
TO ENGLAND.
Harpers Young People.
When the unfortunate Katharine of
Aragon, who was the wife of the
brother Of Henry VIII. himself, first
came to England she brought with
her from Spain an article which was
quite unfamiliar to English eyes.
This small but necessary article had
been manufactured in France, and
was sent from that country to Spain
as part of the elegant outfit prepar-
ed for the bride of the king of Eng
land. Walking down Broadway you
might pick up thousand, perhaps, and
a goodly number on the common road
side, but in the days of Henry VIII. it
was an expensive luxury. And what
do you suppose it was Only pin!
Previous to that time the fastenings
in general use consisted of clasps, rib
bons, strings, loop-holes, skewers of
bone, silver, gold, brass, or wood, and
crudely formed hooks and eyes but
the simple pin, with its solid head and
sharp point, was unknown.
France claims that all new ideas
which come into the world come
through her, however well they may
be developed and perfected by other
nations In the evolution of the pin
France deserves the credit. She made
the best pins long before they could
be made in other countries, and it was
a Frenchman, Fourier by name, who
went TO Nuremberg and taught the
wire drawers and makers of that city
how to improve their machines, and
thus draw the wire finer for the manu-
facture of pins with solid heads. This
improvement was a much-needed one,
for an act had been passed in England
prohibiting the sale of pins unless
they had solid or double heads which
did not come off. For a long time,
then. pins in England belonged to the
list of imported articles, but in 1926 a
mandatory was started in Glouces-
tershire by man named John Tilsby,
who operated so successfully that he
employed as many as fifteen hundred
people.
