of Hotel Wildwood and the tennis
courts Of the Minister, near the, Clois-

point and Lectern ledge are visited by
shoals of sightseers in buckboards, in
automobiles, awheel, on horseback and

were never finer. But the tide of curl
osity has ebbed away from the little
cemetery on the hill where the bones
OF Abraham Jenkins rest between
those of his two wives, and they and
the feuds of their families are almost

Athlete Finds Better Training Food.

1t was formerly the belief that to

wheat and barley, and cut the meat

A Mere Fad.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was talking
to member of the famous Bible class
about economy.
But economy, like everything else,
may be carried to extremes-may be
made a mere fad Of" said Mr.. Rookie
feller.
There is farmer out near Cleve
land who makes fad of economy
Every time he drives into town he
carries a hen with him tied to the
seat of his buggy.
"a friend rode with him one day
and found out the use Of the hen
When, at noon, the farmer lunched
under tree he gave his mare feed
from a nosebag. The hen, set on the
ground, ate all that the horse spilled
from the bag, and thus there was nc

HENS EAT INSECTS.
For This Reason They Are a Good
Thing on the Farm.

Movable poultry establishments are
coming into use on some of our farms.
1t is probable that they are as yet in
their infancy, and that we are to see
more elaborate appliances for utiliz-
ing the idea
L have often thought that it would
be a good thing if the whole poultry
establishment could be moved about
the farm, says a writer in Farmers
Review, so that we could have the
fowls working over a pasture one
week, plowed field next, and perhaps
worn-out meadow the next.
The amount of insects on every
farm make rare possibility for the
feeding of fowls. l notice that when
ever We plow field near the house
the hens turn out en- masse and dis
tribute themselves along the burrows
and are extremely busy pulling out
angleworms and grubs from the
turned-up soil
l can imagine that in case of a
breeding ground of locusts being
plowed up a big flock of fowls would
prove exceedingly valuable. The fowls
destroy great many insects each
every day if they are given a good
chance.
l wish some person would make n
few examinations of the crops of the
hens that have been allowed to run in
field infested with grasshoppers. l
think they would find so or more of
these insects in the crops of each
bird. AT that rate a hundred hens
would destroy 5000 insects in a day.
Insect life is very abundant on all
of our farms. If we include the angle
worms, we see that the aggregate
weight of food of this kind must be
very large.
The domestic fowls should be util.
lied more for the destruction of in
sects than they are.

The first stranger to notice the od-
dity of this bit of mortuary sculpture
was a touring bicyclist What could
1t mean, he wondered. The sexton,
whom he happened to catch on the
premises, denied all knowledge of the
Significance of the inscription, but he
grinned. The bicyclist was followed
not long afterwards by visitor in a
buggy. Soon the country swains, with
their companions, drove from places
25 miles away to read and ponder
upon the strange inscription. Picnic
parties came and gazed upon it and.
after eating luncheon in the grove of
tall pines-now known as Wildwood

crop to provide green food. If clover

The Weakening of Wildwood
BY Stanley E. johnson

Copyright, by shortstory Pub. Coz

Twenty years ago nobody went to
Wildwood, and yet, 20 years ago, it's
mountains We're as picturesque, it's
sunsets as gorgeous, the white moon
light, streaming through the tops of
its tall, dark pines, was as glorious
and impressive as to-day. But now,
from an unknown crossroads, it has
become one of the most noted and i'm
portant places on the White Mountain
map of summer travel. The little
place that slumbered is bounding with
life. From the first day of July to the
first week of October, every year,
more baggage is handled at Wildwood
Junction in single day than had en-
tered the township in the whole
course of its existence prior to its
awakening. And it's awakening was
brought about by the great transform
er, Death. This is how it came to
pass:
In the best ROOM of the lonely
hillside farmhouse of Abraham Jen-
kns-a room seldom opened except to
the minister and book agents-were
assembled, one November day, the
clans of the Jenkinses and Perkinses,
to attend the funeral of the late Mar
tina Perkins Jenkins, the farmers wife
A stalwart son, the eldest of a family
of nine children, had, after Abraham
himself, given voluble testimony to
their high appreciation of the depart
ed. The leanest of covey of maiden
sisters of the deceased took the wild
over aside and said: II only hope she
knows how yer feelin' fer her; 1t
would be good bit satisfyin' to her,
I'm sure. She sez to me once, sez
she, Eff l go, know that Abe'll marry
some young thing that neverll TEX no
interest in the young ones, and they'll
be left ter shift But ye wouldn't do
that, would We, Abe?"
Disregarding this pointed appeal,
Abraham Jenkins cleared his throat
and addressed the assembled COM
pany:
I've Jest decided ter tell We, slong's
yer all here, that I've sort O. felt ez
eff / sh'd foller her soon. So I've
bought a lot in the graveyard-to be
paid fer in instalments-and when
die want yer ter put me by the side
of Marthy. Then shell rest in peace.
Them's my final instructions" Turn
ing to the maiden sisters of his la
mented wife he added: Il know yell

Then he broke down and sobbed wild
ly, "oh, Marthy, Marthy, why hev ye
