A woman living on a large farm in
the vicinity of Bath has one garden
allotted to her personal use to raise
just what she pleases to plant and to
receive the returns of her own. This
year she has planted among other
things watermelons, citron melons and
IA rows of peanuts, When she sent
away to procure the seed peanuts, she
did not inquire how she should plant
them. whether in or out of the shell,
ard as none of her acquaintance had
any knowledge of the manner In which
the seeds should go into the ground,
she experimental by planting one row
with the peanuts shelled and the next
row with them in the shell. Those
shelled did not come up, rotting in
the ground, but the alternate rows
came up bearing the shells upon the
stocks, like squash seeds or the acorn
shells of oak sprouts. The peanut
plants are now thrifty and about half
foot In height. She calculates to send
peanuts of her own raising to the
Topsham fair.

A remarkable relic Of Portland's
earlier history and unique piece Of
furniture is the Lafayette chair, now
on exhibition at the Portland Veteran
Fremens Association building on
South street. This chair was carved
by former chief Nahum Littlefield
from the trunk of a giant elm which
stood in front of the State Capitol on
the site of the present city building,

Vacation,

a. H. Robbins in Judged
"a vacation is lazy thing.-Thomas A.
Edison)
Vacation Is lazy thing.
There's naught to do but row the boat
And climb the tree to fix the swing,
And scale the mountain like goat,
And clean the fish and fry the same,
And forage food to feed the fame.
And dig a county DER for bait
(The while the farmer sits and grlns),
And glide and dip and hesitate
With schoolmarms at the country inns,
And walk an hour TO town for mail,
And brace the tent against the gale
And spend a morn to mend a tire,
And toll and tug like any team
To pull the auto from the mire
OF some pellucid, purling stream;
And carry tons of picnic lunch
For chipnnunks and for ants to MUNICH
And bail the ship with can and hat,
And take the engine all apart,
And fight the skeeter and the gnat,
And medicate the sunburn smart.
All. yes with Wizard Tom l sing,
Vacation is a lazy thing!

 But there was never fine lady who could have carried off the trying incident with sweetness and composure than did the little chorus girl.

 And truly it does seem strange.
 Why should players be called upon to dress most expensively to live at the costliest hotels to nit extravagancies which they often ill afford, and then be obliged to enter the theatres by cheap dngy passage opening, frequently upon some dirty, objectionable alley?

Just how long we will remain heer depinds upon the movemints of the Gurman Army. The Cur man Army is regarded with grave suspis- .sion and evvery time it makes a mooye it is regarded as extremely significant. What am trying to do is to make at leest two mooves to evvery one maid by the Gurman Army So far I am lives mooves ahed, and l am manuvverlng sklllfully so as to keep the Allies between myself and sed Gurman Army. The allies air now about sthree jumps ahed of the Kysur, and air dis playing wunderful agility. When one per mits his mind to dwell upon the grate feer- W

 The Frinch Guvvermnt and myself left Paris becawse our Doctor told Us that its climmit was no longer condusslve of peese of mind and general all round equinim- mity. Perslmelly I would have liked to have remained and witnessed the seege. I slonged to phase myself on the ramparts and hurl defianse at the assenbulled hosts, but I pulled myself to gethur and suppressed this desire, becawse I was told that defianse had absolutely no impression on the Cur man s, the most of whom do not understand defianse when hurled at them in the Eng .lish langwage. That's the trouble in get ting mixed up with lot of forrainers, when one wants to swear at them in pure east side English, 1t falls upon unappresiative ears. So our little colony of innosint by standurs held meeting and dispassionate- " discussed the questsion as to whethur we would leeve Paris with the Guvver- mint In an elloquint address I favured safety furst."
