A BOSTON WOMAN TRANSFER

An intelligent young woman of Chel- sea- Mass, Miss Annie Allyn took up her fathers business at his death, three years ago, as naturally al a son might have done, and has carried it on suc- cessfully. Her father was in the team ing business, which in Miss Allyn's hands has more than doubled. She keeps eight horses and thirteen men busy, and attends to teaming and ex- pressing for MT Cabot, one of Boston's rich manufacturers. During the recent strike her men quit work in obedience to their union. Miss Allyn decided that certain goods must be delivered and she hired other men to drive one of her teams. They became frightened and deserted while on the ferry-boat. Miss Allyn then took charge of the load, mounted the wagon, and drove to the wharf of the Merchants and Miners Transportation company, and delivered the goods safely under the escort of four policemen.-Wom Journal.

HOW RILEY WON FAME AS A POET

Hoosiers ought to everlastingly be
grateful to Lie Halford.' said the soap
man in the hotel lobby, who was dis
cussing TIE coming of James Whit
comb Riley to st. Louis under the
cHspices of the Indiana society, for
bringing Riley into prominence by
dismissing him from his job as writer
for the indianapolis Journal" OF
course, they all wanted to know how
it happened, and the soap man told
the story. Riley was getting a few
dollars c week from the Journal for
original poems, when Lie" Halford,
afterwald private secretary to Presi-
dent Harrison and now paymaster in
the army, came to the paper as manag-
ing editor. Halford at once decided
that expenses should be uHt down, and
picked upon Riley as the irst victim
He told Riley that the poetic DEPART
ment would be continued if Riley
wanted to furnish the poems without
expense to the Office.
The blow was a hard one on Riley
and he was ready for time to give
up in despair While things were look
ing decidedly blue for him conyen-

the men nominated was big fellow

in straight line the whole length of
one boundary of the site. At right
angles to this and side by side the
watercress bitches are cut, narrow
gress walks of from 10 to IS inches
wide being left between them. The
beds vary in length from $50 feet to
half a mile or more, but in width are
always about is to 20 feet. The
watercress is set at two seasons of
the year-during the present month
for the winter harvest and during
Marcn for the summer crop.
Two wholly different methods of
gathering the watercress are
! overwhelmingly, picking and
cutting" A fertile ditch can be
picked about every fortnight
through the season-say from the end
of September, whereas when the
watercress is "cut" it takes not less
than six weeks to grow again, so that
approximately one cutting is reckoned
to equal three pickings, but the loss
of time thus entailed by the former
for by the size of the crop obtained
and by its more valuable character.
For 'cut cress" is far more tender,
and consequently fetches a much
higher price than picked cress." The
watercress, when gathered, is sent to
London in flats" large square lidded
baskets, each capable of holding about
80 pounds weight of the weed, and
nothing gives so vivid an impression
of the Importance of watercress farm
ing as the sight of thousands of these
fats pouring in Covent garden each
morning from all directions.
! A good ditch in a favorable year is
proftabel possession. One measur-
ing, say, $50 feet Ly Is feet will yield
at least so flats in season, fetching
on an average 5s. apiece, or $40 in
all. In the spring, when the young
watercress is at its best, the price
J will range as high as 15c. or los. a

WATERCRESS FARMING.
How the Herb is Grown-A Profitable

London Mail-Watercress farming
is an industry of which few people
outside those whom it directly con-
Germs know anything. Yet it is one
of the Oldest forms of suburban enter
prise; at the same time it is one of
the most up-to-date and scientifically
conducted business in the country.
and one of the most remunerative and
prosperous departments of agriculture
1t is safe to say that of the tons or
watercress, which the Londoner de-
YOURS each year, scarcely a single
spray is of wild growth. The sue
culent little weed must reach it's COLI
sumner in the first flush of freshness,
and as it does not flourish in the
native state near enough to the capital
to render this possible, the great
watercress farming industry has
sprung up all around the outskirts of
London.
But the watercress farmer is a cul-
tivator, not a grower; he merely beus
out and improves the wild herb; he

Wiltshire and Hampshire, where for
mile after mile the little water weed
grows in its natural state.
A watercress farm presents a spec
tacle wholly different from any other
form of land culture. On hot sum-
mer's day there are few sights SO
refreshing. Acre after acre of
smooth, dark-green beds close as the
thickest velvet pile, level as a billiard
table, stretch out on every side far
the neat, trim houses of the farmers
stand out, white and glazing, against
the lush growth. Dotted about at in

most part men, but some of them
women in large, old-world sunbonnets,
kneeling with barred arms on the mar
row foctways, and garnering the
generous harvest. A strange silence,
intensified rather than broken by the
unceasing ripple of running water,
broods over the whole scene. For
running water, and an unfailing sup
ply of it, is the prime essential of
watercress cultivation Standing
water, in no matter what volume, is
useless. 1t is a comforting thought
that the vast quantities of watercress
London eats are raised under con-
ditions of idyllic cleanliness. For not
only must the water be ever moving;
it must also be of perfect purity.
A site, then, has to be selected
close beside some untainted stream
or else where springs bubble in
pristine freshness to the surface. AS

called-are then laid out as the space
