OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
: In Memory of Martha ;
N BY Paul Lawrence Dunbar d

- NOC may talk about banjo playing
if you will, but unless you heard
old Ben in his palmy days you have no
idea what genius can do with five
strings stretched over the sheepskin.
You have been told, perhaps, that the
banjo is not an expressive instrument.
. Well, in the hands of an ordinary player
it is not. But you should have heard
old Ben, as, bending low over the neck,
with closed eyes, he made the shell re-
spond like living soul to his every
mood. It sang, it laughed, it sighed;
and, just as the tears began yelling up
into the listeners eyes, it would break
out into merry reel that would set feet
a-twinkling before one knew it. ..
Ben and his music were the delight of
the whole population, white and black,
master and man, and in, the evening
: when he sat before his cabin door, pick
! ing out tune after tune, hymn, ballad
{ or breakdown, he was always sure Of an
audience. Sometimes it was group of
white children from the big house, with
row of pickaninnies pressing close
to them. Sometimes it was old mas
and mis- themselves who strolled up to
the. old man, drawn by his strains.
Oft ten there was company, and then Ben
would be asked to leave his door and
play on the veranda of the big house.
Later on he would come back to Martha
laden with his rewards and swelled
with the praises of his powers.
And Martha would say to him: ''You,
Ben, don you git conceity now; you
des' keep yo' haid level. I des' mon
low you been up dab playin' some O.
Z dem ongodly chunes, lax Hoe Con an
Dig Tates.'"
Ben would laugh and say: "Well,
den, TEX de wickedness often de ban
jo. Swing in, OF 'ooman!" And he
would drop into the accompaniment of
one of the hymns that were the joy of
Martha's religious soul, and she would
sing with him until, with a flourish and
thump, he brought the music to an
end. ..-.,..,....... .-s- -'1=,F.,sg -"

The Story Questioned.

EDITOR OF REPORTER:
felt somewhat amused while reading
in the REPORTER the account of one
David Decker, now buried on Sugar
Town hill in Moscow. From my earliest
recollection | well remember one D avid
Decker living in Pleasant Ridge planta-
ton, Just across the river west of Mos
COW. As first remember him he was
living alone in small log house about a
mile and a half from my fathers. Have
been to his place several times. He had
a small clearing In the woods, raised a
few potatoes, little corn, beans and
vegetables, hunted, and fished on Rowe
pond, and worked some for the neigh
bOrs.
In the winter of 1884, father logged
on Pierce Pond, the crew being made up
OF neighbors, and amongst the number
was james Andrews, who came from
Essex, Mass, who was sailor in his
Younger days, having sailed around the
world, and |, boy, looked upon him as
hero. Some time in the winter, help
getting short, father hired Mr.. Decker.
Now am coming to the tea story. 1t
was impossible for the cook to make tea
strong enough to suit Mr.. Decker, and
Mr.. Andrews commenced tn joke him
about his tea, Offering to wager a cnd Of
tobacco against a peck of CLANS, that
Uncle David was one of the fellows that
threw the tea into Boston harbor, and
that WAS where he got the habit of
drinking such strong tea. ! was ten
wears old at that time. Father took me
into the camp where | remained three
days, and | remember Mr.. Andrews and
some others of the crew joking Uncle
David, rs they called him, about throw
ing tea into Boston harbor.
few years after working for father
he was poorly and went to Moscow,
became a town charge and died there.
Now perhaps Moscow had two David
Deckers, but never knew or heard of
but one, and the one that | knew was
Lot born until after Boston commenced
wetting tea. He was not over fifty
years old in 1894 and the tea was thrown
in the harbor on December l6 1773, not
l775. CHAs. G. WHITTIER.

till they shall have enough with which
to procure a cabinet in which to keep
their collection.
Only the older residents of this place
are much aware of the fact that the site
of the present village was for the most
part marshy land at one time, and that
beavers had their abodes within the vii
lage limits. This was evidenced the
past summer when w. K. Huunewell
was having quantity of muck removed
from place but short distance from
the mill of Bryant q Co. When the
workmen had dug down several feet
into the soft earth they found block
of wood several feet long that had been
gnawed by beavers, both ends of the
block showing the prints of the animals
teeth very plainly. d. NJ. Parks states
that on the Hobrook brook, short dis.
lance west of the village, are to be
found no less than four dams built by
these animals, one or two of them a
number of rods in length. OF course
these are old works, but are of deep in
terest to the naturalist even now, says
the Pittsfeld Advertiser.
The saw mills at Shawmut of Law
renee Newhall & Co. have shut down
after an excellent seasons business.
They will remain idle for three weeks
when one mill will be started up again
for the winter, one band saw and a
gang to operate, about 100000 to be
handled. Logs will be obtained for
this saving from all parts of the
surrounding country, some coming
from points along the Somerset Rail-
way, some from as far down the Maine
Central as Monmouth and more from
near Foxcroft and that part of the
state. In addition to the above re-
sources for logs, the company has
purchased the Leonard woods, so-called
situated about a mile east of Clinton
village, a tract of 600 acres wooded
mostly with pine, some cedar and per-
haps from 100000 to 100000 feet of
spruce. From this tract near 1000, 600
feet will be cut this winter, operations
soon to commence. This haul will be
made directly to the mill, distance of
between five and six miles.
