 A Cucumber Fiend.

An Amerieus bailiff whose weakness is for cueumbers struck store where the innocent looking undertal,er's as sistants were on sale. Picking up one about the size of a coupling pin, he asked the price.
 Two fer nick, :" was the brief reply of the up to date clerk.
 "That's too much, " replied the bailiff. "Tell you what l Il do, though, , he added. "I'll give you dime to let me cat all want. ,
 The offer was accepted, and the bailiff lit ill upon q peck measure of cucum- bers, eating them ravenously. As one after another disappeared the grocer s boy became uneasy, and after the twelfth had disappeared offered the bailiff a quarter to stop.
 Well, l could eat dozen or two more, he replied, looking longingly at the half filled peck measure, "but being as it's you I II call the trade off. !"
 And pocketing the quarter he ambled away i'll search of another victim. At lanta Constitution.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Mrs. Morrison's Hand In tho Nomination
 of Cleveland.

of Cleveland.
 It is always Of interest to note the trail of a woman in politics. Many an office, many a nomination, has pivotsd squarely on the work of woman. Those who are informed in that behalf, and who watched the progress of the ballots i'll caucus, and remember the size of Crisp's majority for speaker over Mills, know that Mills was defeated and Crisp elected because Mrs. Mills expressed doubts ill the Fifty first congress as to the gloyelike fit of the frocks worn by the wife of well known Missouri con gressman. That Is, however, only an in- stance.
 It is decidedly to be credited that a woman had much to do with the nomi- nation of Cls@eland at Chicago in 1899. Eckels, not t1len comptroller of the cur reney, had been Morrison man. His efforts were to secure from his region a delegation favorable to Morrison and against Palmer. But at the last hour hope of success deserted him. He wired Colonel Morrison in this city that it was doubtful if he could push through a Morrison instruction.
 The people about him felt warmly for Palmer, who was their near neighbor, while Morrison lived far away in Egypt But Eekels said in his message that ho could get his folks to instruct for Cleye- land. As between Cleveland and Palm er they inclined toward the ex-presi- dent. What should he do? Colonel Nor r1son was not here when the message came, but his wife was.
 Mrs. Morrison is one of the rarest of women, devoted to Colonel Morrison. and withal of an intelligence and de- clslon of character which make her ali admirable helpmeet to the colonel. Mrs Morrison, as told to q writer for The Star, in the absence of her husband opened the telegram It was too late to get word to Colonel Morrison. She must reply herself. After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the situation, Mrs. Morrison wired Eekels, Instruct for Cleveland. ?
 It came just in time Eckels promptly acted on it. His was the first Illinois district to instruct for Cleveland, the rest followed suit, and when the eonyen- tion roll was called i'll Chicago the great state of Illinois cast her solid vote for Cleveland. Where Cleveland might have been without it is another story But there be casuists who are ready to agree that it was Mrs. Morrison 5 message to Eckels that nominated Grover Gleve. land.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE GROWERS
They Are organizing TO secure
Ue,tcr Market for Their Prod"cts'

About eighteen or twenty farmers anu
truck-growers living in the vicinity OF
Richmond met in the Office OF the Virginia
State Agricultural and Mechanical Society
for the purpose of discussing the adVisa-
bility Of organizing a fruit and vegetapie
association. the object of which would be
to try and secure a better market Tor their
produce ~
The meeting was called at the instisa-
ton Of Mr.. j. y. Watkins. Of Hallsboro'.
Mr. W. r. Hood was made chairman and
Mr. Watkins stated the object OF the
netting. affirming that 1t was very likely
that n large quantity OF straWperr'es
would be grown here this spring, and that
arrangements should be made whereby
they could be shipped to northern mar
kets, as Richmond could only consume
very small portion OF the large growth.
IL was ascortained from those present
that about one hundred and fifty acres In
this section were being cultivated in
strawberries. and that the yield would
prohably be not less than 1900 bushels.
IL was the consensus Of opinion among
those present that II would he very desi-
rable 10 make some sort Of arrangement
whereby portion of the fruit could be
shipped.
Mr. Hood was appointed n committee
TO ascertain the cost OF baskets for ship
ping and also TO see the railroad and eX-
press companies relative TO rates. and also
to ascertain II rcfrigeratOr-cars could be
obtained for use in shipping. and TO report
at meeting to be held at the same place
next SATURDAY.
