The Weakening
of Wildwood
By Stanley e. johnson
Copyright, by shortstory Pub. Coy

(COpyrlght, by SnOrtStOry PuD. COZ
Twenty years ago nobody went to
Wildwood, and yet, 20 years ago, its
mountains were as picturesque, Its
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 a single day than had en-
tered the township in the whole
course Of its existence prior to its
awakening. And its awakening was
brought about by the great transform
or. Death. This 10 how 1t came to
pass:
In the best room Of the lonely
hillside farmhouse of Abraham Jen-
kins-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 a covey of maiden
sisters of the deceased took the wild
over aside and said: Il only hope she
knows how yer feelin' fer her; 1T
would be a good bit satisfyin' to her.
I'm sure. She seq to M once, SEE
she, Eff l go, l know that Abe'll marry
some young thing that never'n tex no
interest in the young ones, and they'll
be left ter shift But We 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, s'long's
yer all here, that I've sort O. felt ez
eff l sh'd foller her Don So I've
bought a lot in the graveyard-to be
paid fer in instalments-and when I
die l want yer ter put me ny the side
of Marthy. Then l shell rest in peace.
Them's my final Instructions" Turn
ing to the maiden sisters Of his Ia
mented wife, he added: Il know ven
tex good care O. them thai youngsters
that Marthy sot 20 much store by"
Then he broke down and sobbed wild
ly, "Oh, Marthy, Marthy, why hev ye
gomez"
Four months after the funeral an
other Mrs. Abraham Jenkins was in
stalled in the lonely farmhouse, and
| she was all that the first Mrs. Jenkins
had foreboded. Young and frisky,
| pretty Matilda Brice had attracted
| Abraham jenkins at a Grange socia'
BILE, and his mourning had ceased from
that moment.
That there should be great indigna'
| ton among the Jenkinses and more OF
| less establishment in the community
at-large was a matter Of course, but II
was some months after the wedding
of the widower before q marble slat
mysteriously appeared in the new
Jenkins lot in the village cemetery
bearing the following inscription:

THANKSGIVING DAY.


There's plenty in the Southland,
Where in white the cotton blows,
There's plenty il the Northland,
Meath Katadin's crest OF. snow.
The East has heard the reapers' song,
Ger countless fields Of grains,
The golden grain has gathered been
In many western plains
The winter has no terrors
For the land we dearly love;
The skies that promise happy times
Are blue and bright above.
Our nation in its splendor,
Can take up the glad refrain:
"Our Father Thou Hast Blessed Us,
Let Thanksgiving come again"

Dnn,t like Idaho Land

Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Stoffle came
down from Pendleton Wednesday to
visit several days among Echo friends,
says the Echo Register. Mr. Stoffle
has just been up in the Bull, Idaho,
irrigated country. He says that while
they have good irrigation system,
they are lacking in the season and
climate. In the first place, they have
frost up to the first of July and some
times even later. The land is very
rocky and costs from $50 to s25 per
acre to clear the rocks off, and the
soil is very shallow in most places.
or course there is some good land,
but it is all taken up. He says that
the Echo country is far better COM
pared to the Buhl country, for here
We have the climate, soil and market.

was made by DR.. Cole, city physician;
Mayor Murphy; Chief Of Police Cur
dane; Fire Chief Vaughan and sew
eral members OF the council. During
the same the party discovered sew
eral places where the sanitary con-
ditions were not good, and orders

Particular attention was devoted to
restaurants, meat markets and other
establishments where perishable goods
are handled,
In general the conditions were
found to be better than in the past,
with the exception OF one butcher
shop on East Court. There chickens
were being kept in violation Of the
city ordinance on the subject and
other conditions about the shop we're
open to criticism. Orders to clean up
at once were given by DR.. Cole.
