 And you really mean that Lucy Drakes cold storagin' mince pies against next winter?" demanded the captain incredulously.
 "Yes; so she says. She showed me a batch yesterday. There was seven of lem. She has to put in an extra allowance of brandy sos they'll keep She pours melted parafeen all over the crust and everything to seal it tight Then next fall when she takes lem out all she's got to do is to lf9t off the parafeen cover and there's her pies. Of course it's only one of Orville's ex- periments. I guess it come about be. cause he had a dreadful fit of indiges- tion, and Lucy shut down on pies. Said he couldn't have another one till next winter. Well, guess them dish es won't wait any longer. I'll leave you and Miss Pelham to talk scandal captain" <
 Something's the matter, Captain Barnabas," hinted. What was that you meant about seeing Orville Beers eating mince pies?"
 "I did see him-seen him every day." stoutly asserted the captain. ''You see, he's sort of cuttin' into my fishin' busi- ness, and I've made 1t my duty to keep a watch on him and his doings and keep count of how many fishes he ketches and so forth. So the other day I got out my spyglass and looked at Orville. He was way down the bay in his boat, and declare if he wasn't ,eatin' a pie-a hull pie! Yes ma'am, Miss Pelham. He took it from outer bag, took something off the top and flung it overheard, and then he jest waded right into that mince pie" I ."How did you know 1t was mince?' l queried with Quince Harbor ipquisi- tiveness.
 q smelled the clovesw and the cap- tain winked blue eye at una,

 followed him willingly down the front walk and across the road to the boathouse on the beach. He opened the door, and from within he brought a clam basket in which was some thing hard and white and. brittle and round.
 "What is it?" I asked.
 "It's parafeen coverings for cold storage mince pies,' he said solemnly,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-08-02
"I found lem fIoatin' down the bay"

"I found lem floatin' down the bay" exhibiting them to my amused gaze 'T found 'em4 foatin' down the bay where that deceiver flung em before eatin' the pies. See his gamer

 \ f'Well, this is the way it looks to me: Lucy, she cuts Orville short on mince pies. He's a-terribly greedy fellow, and he fixes up plan where his wife will be persuaded to make a lot of pies and parafeen them and store them against next winter; that's the expert ment on her part. Now, Orville puts the pies in the icehouse and helps him. self to lem whenever he wants one or two or three, am he eats lem down the bay, throwin' the parafeen tops overheard, forgettin' they're evidence of his crime. Now, I'll bet you that if Lucy Beers was to count her cold stor- age pies today she'd find out that there wasn't many left against next winter. This pie eatin' trick is Orville's exper- imentp'
 "How dreadfulp' I exclaimed, even as laughed at the thought of fat Or vile Beers guiltily devouring mince pies down the bay in perfect uncon- sciousness that his peridy was wit messed by Captain Barnabas Fish.
 What are you going to do, captain? It doesn't seem right that Lucy should be so deceived by her husband
 ''I'm goin' to protect Lucy because she was Drake, an if you was born in Quince Harbor you'd know that the Drakes are some kin to geese an ducks. bat nearer geese. Pm goin' toI protect my fshin' business, too, an see| that Orville gets his potaters into the ground over at his farm by the 18th. Excuse me, ma'am."
 Captain Barnabas shot toward the house, and followed sim slowly to take in whatever comedy might be played before me.
 I knew that Orville Beers was miles down the bay. I could see his boat with its patched sail white against the headland. "I suppose he is eating mince pie, I unused.
 Then events moved rapidly, as they usually do when Captain Barnabas sets them in motion.
 Maria emerged from her back door and entered Lucy's kouse. I heard Lucy's shrill exclamation and saw her dart from the horse, followed by Ma ria, both heading for the icehouse. Lucy's thin arms dragged at the heavy door, and Maria helped. The two were gone five minutes. When they emerg- ed Lucy was sc0'ding shrilly, and in her arms she carried a pile of empty pie tins.
 "Only eight pies left out of four dog en-" she was saying angrily.

Orville z.odded in his customary churlish way.
 Where are they going?" I asked Maria at the breakfast table. "And where is Captain BarnabasY A
 "Orville Beers has gone to his farm to plant potatoes, and Lucy's gone with him. Captain Barnabas has gone down the bay a-fshin'" "So Orville Beers won't eat any more 'afterc1aps' in solitude down the bay,'' I smiled over my coffee cup.
 ''No more he wdn't,'' commented Ma ria dryly. There were aftercIaps to spare when Lucy got to talking to him when he got home last night.''

A Theodore Thomas Retort.

A characteristic story is. told of one of the first rehearsals of the college choir (of the Cincinnati College of Mu- sic), at which Theodore Thomas had reprimanded some of the sopranos sharply for inattention. "He treats us as if we were members of his orches- tra!'' exclaimed an indignant singer to her next neighbor. Thomas overheard the remark and let it pass for the mo ment, but at the close of the rehearsal, as the performers were leaving the stage, he passed the lady in question and, turning to her. said very quietly, but with that biting sarcasm which those who knew him did not care to excite, ''Madams you will have to sing a great deal better than you do now before I shall treat you as treat the members of my orchestraY'-"Memoirs of Theodore Thomas"

If those athletic chorus women who
on Saturday evening resented the an
moving conduct of number of Yves
leyan students and slapped the faces
of their tormentors are allowed to go
unpublished, one of the most jealousy
cherished rights of the college boy"
will be endangered. From time i'm
memorial it has been his privilege TO
interrupt dramatic performances ana
tease actresses, to his own great en-
joyment and usually without very
serious protest from the orderly mem
bers of the audience Of which he forms
a part. 1T has long been a repfoach
to this community that an unfeeling
police refuses to permit the students
of institutions of learning hereabouts
to "break up shows and their re-
pressive attitude is properly con-
demned as seriously hindering the
growth of college spirit.
1t is recorded that the Wesleyan
young gentlemen maltreated by the
members of a pony ballet were
freshmen. To this fact must be at
tributed their craven conduct in leav-
ing the theatre without attempting re-
prisals for their rebuff. Had they
been of longer residence they would
not have submitted tamely. They had
within their grasp the making of a
comforting and satisfactory riot.
They failed to take advantage of their
opportunity This indicates how little
progress they have made on the road
of cultivation. That their ambitions
are awakened is proved by their cred
table beginning. however. and event.
uallv they will undoubtedly reflect
every credit on their university.
AS to the young women, their as
sau|t on the students was confession
of their ncapacity to grasp the finer
meaning of scholarly training. This
will surprise nobody. A chorus girl
sometimes contributes to college
education. but rarely profits from it.

TAKING A MUSEUM TO SCHOOLS.
l. latest Benefaction of Native OF
Beckett.

~ w. Harris, a well-known Chicaso
banker. recently donated s2JO,OOO TO the
public schools of that city. The money
is to be devoted to a specific purpose.
The amount is in securities bearing per-
cent. interest and the interest therefrom
is to be expended in carrying to the
class-rooms collections from the Field
museum of natural history, and for ac-
complaining lectures that the pupils may
be properly instructed on the subject.
The Field museum attracts but com
paratively few children. The institution.
Of course is not convenient to the great
majority of the schools TO most OF
| them a visit to the museum represents a
considerable journey. Inasmuch as the
children cannot or will not go to the mu-
scum Mr. Harris has provided the
money for taking the museum to the
children. His endowment followed a
careful study of the subject and an in
yestigation of the extension collection
system as carried on in the schools OF
New York and st. Louis. After satisfy
ing himself of the value of the work, he
provided the money with no conditions
other than that the trustees of the Field
museum and the Chicago board of edu-
cation shall direct the expenditures.

natural and economic advantages of this

Taft's Brand of Economy.

Business methods by Uncle Sam is
the recommendation by President
Taft, in his message OF Wednesday to

clans ii will sound good to the people
OF whatever party. The extension of
the merit system to include all the
administrative officers of the de-
partments at Washington and in the
field is rather startling proposal to
those who count on the patronage,
but no one can deny that the plan
would make for economy and eff
ficiency. With all the officers under
civil service instead of Presidential
appointment, and terms limited Il

preference and periodical changes. tn

Arbitration Treaties.
On. Y. Post.)


Friends OF international arbitration
will be satisfied with the Senates de-
cision to debate the British and
French treaties in open session. One
motive adduced by opponents of the
treaties. to the effect that after all
that has been said and written in
favor of arbitration, they, too. want
to have their say in public, does no,
strike the Hottest level of statesman
ship but is comprehensive enough.
In point of fact, what the friends of
arbitration desire is that the epposi-
ton shall state its objections To the
treaty in the open, and not resort to
the secret manipulation by which
measures are made and unnade In
the Senate. Also in favor of an open
discussion is the fact that We have
here something more than a specific
hit of diplomatic business, calling for
secrecy and dispatch. A momentous
principle is undoubtedly at stake. anu
it is best that it be threshed out once
for all, even at the cost of much diff
fuse oratory.
