Early the past spring it is said that
the head of the family in an East side
household had a lot of fun at the ex-
pense of his better half because while
she was planting her sweet peas she
had made a mistake and used some
Portland cement under the peas in
stead of the fertilizer which he had
bought for her and furthermore he
thought the joke was so good that he
had to tell it to his friends and
even, have the incident recorded in the
Gaily paper. The story went the
rounds and for awhile caused some
amusement, but later it was forgotten
and went out of circulation as any bit
Of neighborhood gossip is sure to do in
time. It turned out later however
that there was another side to the
story about the peas, and this week
that other side came out when the
Young man of the house called al the
Journal Office to see a friend and also
to say incidentally that notwithstand-
ing his fathers joke the mothers gar
den was full of sweet peas prettier
than it ever had been, no matter what
she had put in the trenches when
planting the peas. The head of the
family knows. that the sweet peas
have come along in great shape. but
upon the question as to whether his
wife did really use cement in planting
the peas, or whether she didn't. 1t Is
said that he is very reticent.
