A New Whittier Story.

In the description of Whittier's house

Famous Americans" Oliver Bronson
Capen relates most interesting incident
Of how Mr.. Ordway. a HaverhiH shoe
manufacturer. photographed the old
Whittier kitchen before the birthplace
had been purchased as a memorial 20
the poet. Mr.. Capen says:
AT that time the tenants on the un-
kempt farm used the mothers little bed
room as a potato bin, and the front
room. in which the poet was born, as a
storeroom- Across the center OF the
kitchen a partition had been built. di-
yiding ii into two rooms. To photograph
the kitchen as IL was in Whittier's boy
hood. il was necessary to take back 70
It the old furniture and TO remove the
unsightly partition
Mr.. Ordway carted the furniture to
the farmhouse all the way from Ames-
bury. eight miles distant. The armchair
that Whittier and his father and grand
father had used was found in the wood
shed. The simple, round. baady-legged
kitchen table was taken from the attic.
The poet told him minutely where every
thing belonged"
