a veritable "old maids paradise Is
located i'll Scituate. That ancient South
Shore town bears the distinction of pos
sessing a fund of which the proceeds
are devoted to the care of dependent
maiden women
So far as the Scituate selectmen
know, there is not a life fund under
the State. More than quarter of
century ago Miss Eliza Jenkins de-
cided that women approaching the sere
and yellow leaf of life, who had, like
herself, remained single from choice or
otherwise, should be provided for when
they became dependent wholly upon
themselves. The idea of an old folks
home in Scituate was at that time en-
tirely out Of the question. Miss Jenkins
straightway did the next best thing and
which Is yearly distributed among the
worthy maidens of the town.
The Jenkins fund has always been
In charge Of the selectmen. In the last
few years they have placed about $40
each in the hands of half a dozen per-
sons. This odd fund has benefited per-
sons in Scituate for SO many years that
the townspeople have come to regard
it as a very common Institution; 1t Is
available only for native born women,
and this is about the only restriction
its donor made.
Many person has been helped in
the last twenty-five years to pay Off
mortgage, buy fuel for the winter
months or purchase seeds for the spring
planting through this fund. The Sc
lectnen know pretty nearly every one
in the town, and it is comparatively
easy for them to discriminate between
the worthy and unworthy.
Soon after Miss Jenkins thoughtfully
provided for the "old maids" another
maiden woman, Miss Lucy Thomas,
originated the idea of a similar fund
for widows. She left $1,000 also I'M
der the care Of the selectmen, for ma
tive born widows. Interest has been
drawn from this fund nearly as many
wears as from the jenkins fund.-Bos-

Fishing In Motor Boats.

Automobile fishing boats are plying
the brine off Great Britain. Compe-
tition among the fishermen on the east
coast of England and Scotland has
resulted in motor fishing boat OF
eighty tons displacement, 70 feet long,
% feet wide, and fitted with gaso-
line engine Of twenty four horsepower
running 300 revolutions per minute.
The engine. which is used only when
winds are adverse or lacking, can
give the craft a speed of five miles
per hour. 1t does not interfere with
either the storage Of fish or the man
ipulation Of sails, and replaces in its
weight merely the extent that the bal
last previously earrieds The idea is
to allow individual crews to get their
catch to market as soon as do the
present fleets of "drifters,' who en-
plov a steam craft to collect fish from
each member of the fleet in turn. The
entire catch is then hurried to port,
while the fishermen remain on the
ground and continue their work. II
the pioneer boat fulfills its anticipated
destiny a number of similar craft are
expected to be built.

Richard Merrifeld, though not until
after Lacey's graduation did 1t become
manifest to Alice's father that the
seed of interest had brought forth the

And then the city chairman lost no

Parasites Fatal to Horses.

The Kansas State Veterinarian re-
ports several outbreaks of trouble In
horses in different parts of the State
which was caused by parasites describ-
ed as the Palisade worm (Strongyius
armatus). Each outbreak has caused
a loss to the owner of nearly $1,000
worth of horses. From the fact that
the trouble does not always manifest
itself IN the same way it frequently
puzzles the local veterinarian for some
time.
This worm may be found in any part
of the body It's natural habitat, how
ever, when full-grown is in the intes-
final canal, usually the large bowel
In it's immature state is migrates into
the blood vessels, sometimes causing
rupture of large vessel CT an obstruc-
ton of the flow of blood, and in this
way has lodged III the arteries of the
brain, causing the animal to show brain
trouble Again it has INSTRUCTED al
artery leading to a portion Of the in
testne, causing some Of the most seri-
Gus cases of collie, iinpaction, paralysis
of the bowel and frequently death. Be
ing located in different parts of the
body, attacking different organs, ac-
counts for the different symptoms In
different horses.
The life history of this little worm
is very interesting 1t passes the great
er portion of it's life in the Intestine
of the horse; a part of it possibly, in
the arteries another portion In the
outer world. Here it may be found in
stagnant water, in meadows, in any
damp place. If there is sufficient mois-
ture present and the temperature not
too cold it may live for months. In
dry weather or In absence OF sufficient
moisture the parasite soon loses its
vitality and dies. The source OF infec-
ton IN the horse, it may therefore be
seen, is stagnant drinking vnter, moist
pastures or green foddea

he succeeded in business, but also had
earned quite a reputation as a public
speaker.
Owing to this reputation and an I'M
foreseen emergency, it was that Jim
was designated by the State chairman
to be the orator of the evening at the
Yalegreen rally.
This fact was both surprising and
discouraging to Merrifeld, for he held
but a poor opinion of the young mans
ability.
Is it any wonder that the fireworks
music and cheers failed to enliven the
city chairman and his guest?
The rally was late in starting, but
the immense crowd took the delay
with unusual good nature. The chair
man as he entered the hall felt that
a golden opportunity was lost, but had
succeeded in hiding his chagrin.
Lacey. on taking his seat on the
PLATFORM gazed over the audience ana
his eyes met those of one in the gal
lery. Eyes of blue that had filed the
hopeful fancy Of his. youth and the
sweetly, sad, retrospective thoughts of
later years. Yes, they We're in the gal

look cold or repelling; no, but sweet
and invitingly smiling, and they seem
ed to send a message of recognition ana
solicitude! For Alice's father had told
her Of his Interpretation OF her am
bieuous remark, and she understood
Jim's silence and absence.
After that inspiration Lacey felt en-
couraged and stimulated to do his best.

looked dark, those same eyes had often
incarnated within him an invincible
strength and courage, SO did they af-

How to Grow Dexyberries
In the Fruit Grower J. NJ. Austin
gives his experience in growing dew
berries He does not believe. in the
trellis system, but treats the plants in
way to make bushes of them, so that
they become self-supporting. The first
year The ends are clipped off when
about foot long, being done from time
to time all summer, as needed. This
makes a round, bushy plant by the end
OF the season. Then when blooms are
dropping and fruit begins to form, the
new growth is clipped off at about to
5 inches from the ground.
This Is done twice while the fruit Is
growing and ripening, as it keeps the
growth away from the pickers and
sends more sustenance to the fruit. AS
soon az the fruit is gathered clip out
all shoots that bore the fruit close to
the ground, that the growth which Will
bear the coming year may be stronger
Should the bushes be too thick in
spring, thin out by cutting away some
of the growth. Mr.. Austin has found
that rather heavy soil is preferred,
but it is true that in their wild state
they are found in soil not at all heavy,
and thriving we'll, too.
Cultivation is a great help to the
dewberry, and as the roots are of
penetrating nature they are not apt to
be broken by the harrow when working
the ground, as happens with black
berries.
Growing of Too Many Varieties.

remember that they can call to mind
readily a dozen articles of merchan-
disc selling at good prices simply be-
cause the consumer has been made fam

backing, clothing linens, dress goods
and many other articles. Fruit growers
seem to have an idea that consumers,
and especially those who live in the
city, have 10 particular care about any
certain variety; this is a serious mis-
take for once let a consumer get

time lie buys it he will ascertain. II
