in short. and when that is said no
other description is needed.
By one of the windows pleasant
faced woman was seated in a low
rocking chair, that gave out cosy,
cheerful little squeak as she swayed
to and fro. She was sewing busily
on a long-sleeved bingham tire,
and listening at the same time to the
sing song of high pitched, childish
voice.
1t was the voice of Mary Ann, her
only child, practicing the piece she
was going "to speak" in school the
next day.
Mary Ann was sitting on low
cricket, with yellow kitten asleep
on her lap. She was solemn look
ing little thing, with apple cheeks,
clear gray eyes, and straight, brown
hair parted exactly in the middle,
smoothed behind the ears and cut
very straight around the neck. She
wore over her plaid wool frock ging-
ham tire, like the one her mother was
at work upon.
In the days when Mary Ann was a
little girl all children had to "speak
pieces" in school, and the piece Mary
Ann was reciting was very popular
one. The fathers and mothers OF the
children who may read this little
story will certainly remember "The
Blackberry Girl" 1t began as fol-
lows:
".Why, Phoebe, have you come so soon?
Where are your berries, child?
You surely have not sold them all;
You had basket Piled
".No. Mother; as climbed the fence.
The nearest way to town,
My apr, caught upon stake
And so tumbed down.
~ scratched my arm and tore my hair.
But still did not complain
AMI had my blackberrles been saved,
Should not have cared grain.
. But when / saw them on the ground.
Al scattered by my side,
picked my empty basket up
And down sat and cried.
q 'Just then pretty little miss
Glanced to be passing by,
She stopped and looking pitiful
She begged me not to cry"
On and on went Mary AIMS voice
through the pathetic story to its hap
Ply ending, how Phoebe had longed
to go to Sunday school, and how her
father, a poor laboring man, had
promised that if she could earn the
money for bonnet and shoes hewould
'stry to buy the gown" and now there
lay the berries she had picked on the
ground call mixed with sand and
dirt" whereupon the pretty little
miss" had given Phoebe the bonnet
from her own head, saying:
1 have another ons at home.
And ones enough for me-"
and Pbebe's tears were dried, and
she had gone home as happy as pos
sible.
Mary Ann knew the lines perfectly,
and her mother, after telling her to
speak up loudly and not too fast, de-
cided that it would do very we'll in
deed.
Mary Ann drew her cricket nearer
to the big alright stove, dropped
her round chin into her plump hands
and fell into one of her thinking
spells"
For some time nothing was heard
in the room but the ticking of the tall
clock in the corner, the swapping OF
the fire, the purring of the yellow
kitten, and the squeak Of Mrs. Glenn
ents' rocker. Suddenly Mary Ann
drew long breath, as she always
did when coming out of one of hel

SOME SINGULAR IDEAS.
CATTLE COMMISSIONERS ONLY MONEY
GRABBERs.-sTATE COMPENSATION
PROFITABLE.

At recent meeting OF Rockingham
(Vt.) patrons of the Boston Dairy com
pany a representative OF that nrm ao-
dressed the farmers. Upon being ques,
toned in regard to tuberculosis ne SAID
that the city milkmen suffer the most as
so much agitation Of the subject made
customers little scary Of using milk.
This fear. he was sure WAS entirely
vrouudless. He said his diet had always
consisted chiefly of milk and In his busi-
ness he had probably sampled more
milk, and that from more dlfierent
sources, than any other man OF his age
and he had never been sick day In Ms
life. He thought further agitation OF
the subject by the Boston papers should
be suppressed by law.
He believes that many farmers OF
Massachusetts, have q lot OF old, broken
down. worn-out cows, almost worthless,
and that the compensation when the
commissioners give for such animals,
when slaughtered by them, Is the most
remunerative way the farmers could dis
nose of them. The officials, and those
connected with them, come from class
of people who desire TO get living
without working for it, and are willing
to cater to this idea Of the farmers and
create all this agitation for the sake ol
the money. This class comes, ne SAID
from the farmers making college men ol
their sons.
In his opinion the tuberculin scare
would end when the legislature ceased
making appropriations, but the farmers
know they can get anything they wan
from the legislators.

they coincide with our own, but TO snow
