PUMPKIN IS MONSTER.
GROWS FROM SEED. CAST AWAY
IN GARBAGE.
Shell Of Vegetable Colossus in Rhode
island Used by Hen as Breeding
Place and Fourteen Chicks
Are Hatched Out.

Providence, R. I.-Those good and
exact people who may have doubted
that Cinderella, after all, had pump
kin as chariot, are respectfully re-
ferred to Prudence island production
in the pumpkin line, which residents
of that part of the state proudly claim
was the largest and heaviest ever
raised In New England. They are sure
the princess could have ridden in it.
After rats had cleaned the shell
of the Prudence island colossus of its
contents, hen took possession and
established her nest, with a lot Of
room to spare, and Matched out o
brood of chickens.
The vine on which the monster
grew came up, of its own accord, on
a spot where Joseph Wilson, steward
of the island station of the Rhode
Island Yacht club, threw pan Of
garbage and vegetable par;ngs, which
doubtless contained the seed. The
vine was of phenomenal growth, be-
ing. by measurement, % feet from root
to tip, but was slow in maturing and
the, pumpkins did not ripen till after
a light frost had pinched the vine.
All of the pumpkins were large, but
the largest was three feet, eight inches
in diameter, and of proportionate
weight. Charles Smith, of the Maria
gansett Bay Oyster company, and
David Buffman, Jr., of the Twin Beach
Inn farm, carried the pumpkin to a
| shed near Mr.. Smiths dwelling. 1t
! was their intention TO place 1t on a
high shelf, out of reach of traits, but the
! great weight of the fruit made this i'm.
possible and 1t was left on the floor
The fpndness of rats for pumpkin
| seeds is well known, however, and il
was not long before they had gnawed
hole into the side of the mammoth
! and completely excavated the soft In
terror which contained the seeds.
The pumpkin seemed destined tie
have domestic career. Some three
weeks ago Mr.. Smith missed choice
Rhode Island red hen from his flock
and soon found her in the pumpkin
with IA chickens. When discovered
the chicks were busily consuming the
floor and wall of their dwelling, an(
the rind was SO thin in spots as tt
show that their mother had subsistet
4 largely upon 1t during the period o
incubation.
/ Thinking that the pumpkin may
have been of some unusual variety
the friends had notified the secretaf.

society, asking that a committee b!
sent to Prudence to make officia
