"SPUD" GROWING
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY MARGARET N. KEENAN,.

In one bend of the swift-nowing,
snakelike river Merrimac, could be
! found n little town named after the
river. The town was insignificant
enough In name, and would have been
more 50 had not nature taken a hand
In the matter. Her swaying, sweeping
| willows, radiant fields of wheat and
corn, gentle noddng bluebells; Grim
son walls Of Virginia marguerites and
brown-eyed susans were enough to in
spire, not alone artists, but anyone
going this way. In such a place one
woiNd expect to find rural people, and
such they were. These quiet, loving,
country folk were not to be left to
their own devices and theory long
once John Berry caught sight of the
little ivy-grown cottage In the valley
overlooking the river.
"Peace's throne was usurped." In
dignant farmers sought refuge in their
little town hall many an evening, dis
cussing John and his, or what they
thought prepOsterous idea of potato
growing. Yet they had to put up
| with II.
1t was a balmy midsummer twilight
| when from across the road could be
seen the dim outline of someone mer-
rily whlstllng, evidently watching one
of the farmers transplant something
Johns two eyes grew wistful when he

Don't anyone around here grow po-
tatoes? ! should think they would
grow good"
bah, potatoesw was the sarcastic
reply. A whispered, conversation en-
sued, and then a mop of dark hair
parted the raspberry bush and with
drew quickly as the blue eyes spied
John.
Many an evening John saw the
same figure peerlng, rather watching
the growth of his potatoes. So often

aged to catch her quite accidentally,
yet not without purpose, one evening
and from then on the acquaintance

| he had once known, but he dared not
ask her lest his dream DE upset.
Summer waned, autumn likewise.
His potatoes had yielded fairly good
crop for first year. Nevertheless
the farmers were just as indignant as
ever. Winter followed--a long, hard
winter Spring came at last. John
was undecided as to whether he should
| grow potatoes this year or not. His
thoughts wandered back to his "Po-
tato Girl until he finally decided he
would raise them, for her sake.
The potatoes flourished again, and

evening he boldly excl 81:

AS TO MEN AND HUSBANDS
According to This Writer There Is a
Subtle Distinction Between
the Two Species.

Immediately after the wedding cere-
mony men become dull and uninterest-
ing and turn into husbands, says a
writer In Judge. Husbands are all
just alike and can be sorted out of any
social gathering by the same set ex.
preston about the eyes and mouth.
1t is more trouble to teach a hus-
band to fetch and carry than a fox
terrier puppy, and as a rule the puppy
acts much better when there Is COM
pany around. Husbands wait until
some Sunday morning when you have
distinguished guests with you for the
week end. They burrow in the back
of the closet and pull things off the
high shelves and go through the rag
bag. Then they appear at the break
fast table in the cont of one suit, the
trousers of another and a fancy vest,
with an inch-wide tie tied In a fourth
hand as finish.
And when you advertise your hor-
ror in a frantic effort TO convince the
visitors that he is suffering from tenn
porary alteration any and every nus
band will assume an air Of bewildered
innocence and say:
"Why, what's the matter with thisi
It's just what | wear every Sunday
morning when there's no one hereW
Husbands always keep the Sunday
papers on the floor. No man ever does
this until he is married. His mother
will not let him.
Husbands read to you the printed
recipes they find on the woman's page
of the paper. They get enthusiastic
about some dish they have always de-
clared they would rather die than eat
and say:
"Now, there's an idea for you. Why
can't we ever have something like
that?"
Women acquire husband for much
the same reason that a man gets 8
cane. They are a fearful bother, but
one presents better appearance with
one in hand.
