MASSACHUSETTS MOTIFS

When Eben Small was eighteen years
old
God told his mother he must nsvcs
go out-of-doors again.
So he stayed inside until they took
him to tho asylum
At the age Of forty-five.
A neighbor, half In fun and half to
test tho Smalls' sincerity,
Told the mother he would give them
cord of wood II Eben would
cut 1t.
She, agreed, and the wood was dumped,
four foot lengths. In the yard.
Mrs. Small lugged it all into the
kitchen, where Eben sawed it.
When his mother died, Eben told the
neighbors, who called the under
taker.
He entered the house, the first stranger
over the threshold In twenty-sevsn
years.
Eben had tho exact amount Of the
burial expenses ready In roll of
bills. He scarcely spoke until his
mother was laid away.
After the police had taken him to the
asylum, they found four and a
half tons Of jellles and preserves
in the cellar-Eben's life work.
These were sold at auction in the
midst Of the sugar famine.
So perhaps God had a reason for
speaking to Eben's mother.
Old Nick Goodwin was the rich man
of the Baptist church.
He thought a good deal OF Parson
Tinkum,
Which was perhaps tho reason the
Parson stayed as m: mister.
When Old Nick died he willed an an
nuity Of $500 a year to the
Parson,
"As long as he shall remain in Dingle-
ville."
Undoubtedly Old Nick intended to say,
LAS long as he remained as pastor of
the church,
Soon after his death the Baptists
chose another minister.
But Parson Tinkum still resides in
Dingleville,
Drawing his $500 yearly under the law
And has been preaching in nearby
For some fifteen years. W. We.
A bartender told an Evening Post
reporter that he could always tell the

in pairs,' he said. Obviously. A Pro
hibitionist never travels without a

the impression from recent opinion
of Attorney General John G. Price
that all barberry plants are menace,

are digging up beautiful hedges of

belief that they spread wheat rust.
"The purple-leaf varieties of the bar
berry are the ones that are pests and
should be destroyed" MI Cotton said
yesterday 1.-THE varieties that act as
host for the rust which plays havoc
with wheat have clusters of berries
and three-prong spines. The ha rmless
barberries have individual berries and
