WORK IS HIS WATCHWORD
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
 Stepping from the obscurity of his mod estly furnished law office Charles Augus- tus Peabody will on January 1 enter upon his duties as president of the Mutual Life Insurance company. When he takes his place in the sumptuously appointed office recently vacated by Richard A. McCurdy there is little doubt that most of the em- ployes of the company will be surprised methods.
 They will discover that their new presi- dent lacks that aggressiveness which characterizes most insurance men who have reached high office. They will see a man of quiet manner of speech and decidedly n thodical processes of arriv- ing at conclusions.
 MT. Peabody's reserve is So marked that it has long been the subject of remark by his friends who meet him in the several clubs of which he is a member. It is not to be understood that he is taeiturn or difficult to approach. He is good listen CT and is ever ready to answer questions. His replies, however, are terse and to the point.
 His extreme modesty when it come to talking about himself made it particularly difficult to obtain from him material suf- ficient for a pen picture All that Mir Peabody himself would say was:
 "I am a lawyer and have practiced in this city for about thirty years. There is nothing very exciting about by profess sional career. The only break in it is a short period during which l served in the state legislature. The story of my life is just like that of hundred other lawyers who work all the time at their profession and take an occasional day off in which to play"

CHESTER COUNTY PEANUTS
An Exhibit Of This Years Crop Shows
They Are Growing Well.

A specimen hill of peanuts raised by
Samuel o. Fernwalt. on Ia Grange
farm. in West Goshen township. is
exhibited in the window of a Cay
street place of business. Many people
stop to look at IT with interest, as they
have never seen peanuts growing, and
many were not aware that they could
be grown in this latitude.
AS a matter of fact there has been
quite a revival of interest I'm peanut
culture in this section the past year.
Charles IL. Burns of West Chester,
offered a prize of $40 for the best bushel
Of peanuts grown in Chester county
this year. About two dozen persons
undertook to raise peanuts for the
prize. The crop is now maturing and
should be gathered as soon as the vines
are killed by frost. In the meantime it
is impossible 10 tell how successful
growers have been.
The vines have grown very vigorous
iy and are of large size. The open Fan
we are having is favorable to maturing
the crop. as many of the nuts are
formed late in the season and are not
yet matured. If frost keeps of a couple
of weeks longer Il will be a great
advantage, as in that time real pro-
gress win be made in maturing the
crop.-West Chester, Pa, Local News.

MARX TWAIN
An Enslishman Took His Book For a
Guide to America.

Coming over" said the noted
Englishman. 81 discovered a most re-
markable thing in one of your guide
books. I wish you would explain to
me its meaning. Perhaps it was a
guide book j thought, when / pur-
chased Il at the station just as 1 was
going to the whariings, that IL was.
The keeper Of the stall recommended
it highly. 1t was called Idle EN-
cursions of an Idle Fellow or some
thing of that sort, you know. 1t re-
minded me of our own Jerome, you
know. 1t was the effort of one of your
own Americans. though. / think his
name was Clarence or Samuel Clemens.
He had a pen name. too, of Haines or
Plains. with the queer word of Mark
before II. did not notice particularly.
But what has amused me was his
manner of writing. He says in this odd
book of his some queer things-some
exceedingly queer things. All right I
cannot understand them. If you viii
be so good l win read you this most
peculiar book-thank YOU"
The waiter and bell boy came back
with dozen books. After little
trouble the English visitor found Mark
Twain's "reminiscences Of an excursion
and read aloud this most remarkable"
paragraph. IL went something like this:
''This is a fine place for vacation.
The Bermudas are hoping Soon to have
telegraphic communication with the
world. But even after they shall have
acquired this curse IL will still be a
good country TO go to for a vacation.
For there are charming little islets
scattered about the inclosed sea, where
one could live secure from intrusion.
The telegraph boy would have TO come
in a boat and one could easily Kill him
while he was making his landing
"I wish to find some explanation of
this" continued the Englishman. Il
know that some years ago your princi-
pal diversions were killing Indians and
buffaloes But / had understood that
all this was gone, and why should a
man sit beneath his own hatch and
