since. John being at that time boy

loved alike by teachers and compan

efforts to this one church. On the
contrary. he did whatever his hands
found to do. Especially did he labor
among the A. N. E. members While

KNEW HIS OWN TERRAPlN.

VirSinian Identified Il by Its Peculiar
Expression.
"Tidewater Virginia" said Mr. E.
L. White OF Lancaster Va, at the
5horeham recently, lis the most de-
ightful and wonderful country in the
world. Everything that heart can wish
or the appetite can fancy is produced
from the fertile fields and the great
rivers that traverse them on their way
to the bay. Nothing ever surpassed
her oysters, her fish,. her ducks, her
diamond-back terrapins.
The terrapin farming" he contin-
ued, lis a remarkable business and
very lucrative. But 1t requires large
outlay Of capital and a great deal Of
labor. Each owner Of q 'farm'-as the
little water front fenced in for the
purpose is alledzealously guards his
domain and resents the slightest en-
croachment by a neighbor or stranger.
And a curious thing about it is that
these men engaged in the business
have learned to know their own terra
pins by the expression Of their faces.
Not loEg ago negro boy was arrested
/ in one of the lower counties in the
Rappahannock river for stealing q
diamond back and he was convicted
upon the testimony Of the owner. who
swore point blank that the said ter
rapin was his, and was stolen from
his farm, because he recognized the
aforesaid terrapin by its individual
expression Of countenance, which he
had studied for years. M
S5 4 He stated also that all his terra
pins had the same smile and gentle
look out Of the quiet eyes; that hs3
would krow them at once anywhere
among al the terrapins .of the world.
