TWO WINTERS

The story Of "Two Winters" Brown
storm items.
The real name of 1.-TWO Winters
was Neil, and Neil had a propensity
for corn whiskey. The mere mention
of that fiery beverage, of course, iden'
titles Neil as resident of some part
of that country down Kentucky, Vir-
gina. Georgia or North Carolina way.
Neil attained his lasting fame and new
name in this way:
1t was the week before Christmas
and one of those light snowfalls, pc
culiar to the highland south Atlantic
states, had fallen. Neil had gone to
town for Christmas shopping and had
invested too well but not wisely in
corn whiskey of high proof. The north
wind was nippy and he pulled fpe-
quently at the bottle. At some point
en- route home he toppled from his
mules back into the roadway. The
night passed and no Neil appeared at
the home fireside. His family became
alarmed when the old mule appeared,
and neighbors were dispatched in
search for the missing man. He was
soon located, apparently lifeless in the
corner of an old rail fence. Forum
ately the cold was not severe enough
to freeze the drunken man. and his
rescuers shook him into sensibility.
What you doin' out here, Neil,
holing up for the winter like a ground
hog?" asked a neighbor.
Neil felt his frosted fingers and per-
ceived the numbness of his limbs.
'Umph," he snorted, "done been
here two winters already. "

They are good berries and are eaten
at the Smith town house with much
relish. One evening the Smiths were
to have company and the caretaker
had neglected to bring in the usual
consignment from the farm.
"Pll walk down to one of the
stores and get couple of quarts"
said Hoke Smith. The grocer's
prices seemed extremely high and
Hoke Smith frankly told him SO.

how little profit make on them,''
said the dealer.
'Then the man who raises them is
getting more than his SHARE" de-
clared Smith. "It's an outrage that

And they are not half as good as
the berries we've been getting.
Where did they come from, any
how?"
"To tell you the truth, Senator"
replied the dealer, "they came off

Hunting the Corn Pepper

'HERE are easier things to find in
New York than common, old
fashioned corn pepper. At least,
that is the conclusion reached by
Bronx resident since long and vain
quest for such an article.
Some Western relatives were re-
sponsible for bringing the deficiency
to light. They sent along some pop
corn as a gift-popcorn on the ear,
just as it had come from the fields.
Naturally there were visions of
freshly popped corn after the ap-
parently simple formality of buying
pepper had been gone through
with. The first thing was to de-
termine where the pepper could be
put in the five-room fiat. Parking
space was finally reserved for it in
the kitchen, and the head of the
household economic department went
forth on the shopping expedition
with no other thought than that the
corn pepper could be secured at the
first place visited.
"But dc you know" she said a
little while afterward, when she
came back, popperless and peevish,
they don't seem to know what a
corn pepper is.

WHEN it comes to condolences,
Joseph r. Folk has a little
tale that he will put up alongside
Of anybody's.
When Folk was Governor of Mis-
souri, he made quiet little trip one
day to St. Joseph for the purpose of
comforting with a man whom we
may call Herman Ross, simply be-
cause | cannot now recall what the
mans name really was.
AS Folks train was nearing st.
Joseph it was wrecked. He escaped
unhurt, but the engine and cars were
all mussed up, and h. saw that he
could not depend on the train to take
him the rest of the way to St. Jo-
seph. He trudged across the field to
the nearest farmhouse, hoping to
hire team to take him into town.
And what do you suppose?

flscated, or nearly so, he could save
enough to pay part Of the expense
OF his trip abroad. So he went to
the most famous tailor in London
and had him make him about S1,15O
worth of clothes. Even aside from
the money he would save, Copley
thought it would be lot of fun to
be real sport and know that his
clothes were put up by the worlds
best.
Well, about month later Con-
ley picked out one of the milder
patterns from his London-made
| wardrobe and ventured forth to
show the Aurora folks the Very

lie looked as if he had taken his
own measure, then dictated it from
memory and sent it off to one of
those correspondence school tailors,
who had carefully fitted it to Cop
ley's figure "from description. His
friends laughed so heartily, not to
say boisterously, at the outfit that
Copley denied having bought it
abroad and insisted that it was
simply an $11 hand-me-down that he
was wearing to pay off bet on
baseball game.
When he got back to his home
Copley gave the suit to the man
that looked after his furnice. The
next day he picked out an even
costlier one and made a present of
it to a colored barber. A week
later he inquired of the barber why
he never wore it.
II wo' it once" the man said.
"but the boys made so many re-
mahks about it that I been savin'
it."
1t seemed to Copley that it was
a shame to have clothes made by
the worlds greatest tailor being
eaten up by the moths, and when
ever he gave one away after that he
exacted a promise that the clothes
would be worn. Many promised be-
fore they thought. Copley's chauf-
feur demurred, but gave in when
Copley agreed to xaisa his salary.

~ more widely observed
to-day and more gener-
ally enjoyed in this city than any
other Easter of recent years." said
a newspaper writer in New York
twenty-five years ago.
'sThe show of beauty and fashion
in the neighborhood of Madison
Square has been greater and more
attractive than usual, while the
flower venders have multiplied and
profited as WE'LL"
To each Easter, to each spring, it's
"show of beauty and fashion" sur
passes any that has gone before. In
that parade of twenty-five years ago
women's skirts were voluminous and
trailing; waist lines retained their
normal location, but~were abnormal
ly small; sleeves had names reminis-
cent of the housewives dinner order,
"leg of mutton" Color was more
pronounced and more varied even
than in these days of "henna," {"
emerald" and "fame" hats.
Although the variations were diff
ferent from the simpler, more daring
motifs of to-day, the accompaniment
of morning clothes and high silk
hats was much the same. Mems
clothes change more slowly than
those of women, and their stability
offers something of a solid back
ground against which women's styles
may show their bright colors.

Shopping during Holy Week had
been gay with shoppers on Fifth
Avenue. On the East Side the shop
ping was confined almost entirely to
confirmation outfits. Little girls
went with their mothers to select the
dainty white things. What matter if
only the cheapest cotton was within
the. reach of mothers pocketbook?
The dress was new and symbolical of
something that made its value ines
tlmable. And safe to say few little
