Lightning and blackberries come
together In the coast region of Texas.
The people there, as a rule, are more
partial to the latter than the former.
An exception to the rule exists there
to-day, however, in Mrs. Pennington, Of
Plum Creek, who says that one timely
stroke of the lightning has done her
more good than all the blackberries III
creation could possibly accomplish.
Just behind the Pennington home is
small clearing, in which the black
ries grow, large and sweet ann III
abundance. One day Mrs. Pennine-
ton went there to pick some bcrr.cs
for supper. and took her little baby
girl with her. The baby grew tired
