and eggs were not fetching the price
they ought to, she was beloved.
It was, or appeared to be, a sock
dologer on the deacon. It had come
from his own hands. On an occasion
he had brought her from the village
half a pound of broken candy. There
were peppermint, wintergreen and
cinnamon pieces among the lot. There
were chunks and hunks and cubes.
Wrapped in tissue paper was a hunk
bearing the above motto. 1t was the
deacons way of declaring his love.
1t had been accepted as such, but he
had refused to follow up his good luck
and ask Nancy to name the day. Every
time he had departed she had burst
into tears of disappointment.
Her wandering thoughts had made
her mix up the sour with the sweet
milk half dozen times over and when
she sought her couch 1t was to toss
about and sigh and groan and suspect
that the deacon was q heartless vii
lain.
When her tale had been concluded
everyone in the courtroom rose to his
feet to mob the deacon, but before 4
hand was laid upon him the court dis
missed the case and assessed the costs
on the plaintiff
In legal lore he explained that the
poetry signided nothing, and that by
no possibility could Nancy's heart
have been broken in consequence of it,
I The candy might have given her indi-
gestion, but the poetry could not have
given her hold on the deacon.
Deacon Skinner stood forth trium-
plant, but his church had to take up
the matter. He passed another bad
three days, for there were those who
we're inclined to think love and broken
candy went together. But when the
affair had been concluded the verdict
was:
I'VE can't say that the deacon is
guilty as charged, but after this we
hope he won't leave any poetry with
his packages" -Amanda Clarkson in

Deacon Spooner

For two or three weeks good part
of Horton county had been holding it's
breath and waiting for the thunder
bolt to fall. It had been whispered
about that Deacon Spooner, widower,
was about to be sued for breach of
promise by Nancy Skinner, spinster.
No one could speak with authority,
but all gossiped and hoped that the
suit would materialize.
1t was known in general way that
Deacon Spooner had been paying
Nancy Skinner attentions. There
were vague rumOrs that she once rode
home with him from the village; that
he had recommended cure for tooth
ache; that she had knit and presented
him pair of blue mittens; that he
had helped her out of a mud-hole in
front of her own gate; that she had
said he was the best singer in the
church; that he had praised the color
Of her hair.
All these things were talked over
and magnif1ed, and a hundred people
were ready to take their dying oath
that there would be marriage.
AS matter of fact, the deacon
didn't want to marry. He was just
being good" to lone woman. AS a

no hopes of catching him, but she
