PAGE SEVEN They All Do, An enthusiastic citizen, on the verge of a trip to Europe, was rejoicing over the fact and descanting on the pleas- ures to come: “How delightful it will be,” said he to his wife, “to tread the bounding billow and inhale the invigorating oxygen of the sea! The sea! The boundless sea! I long to see it! To breathe in great draughts of lifegiv- ing air. I shall want to stand every moment of the voyage on the prow of the steamer with my mouth open—" “You probably will, dear,” inter rupted his wife, encouragingly, “that’s the way all ocean travelers do.” HITCHING UP With our harness is quick and pleas- ant work.

But you can't change nature by no such means as that. A woman that has a vote will be, more or less, the same as a woman without one. ! Some women with the vote will be angels, just the same as if they hadn't, and some will be the other thing whether they have the vote or not. “Now there's that Miss Abigail Per- kins you saw up here last summer. Spinster, age uncertain, temper un- safe, home, Boston. Thought she was filled with the love of humanity, when it was plain ordinary—well, you'll see what it was later. No, it didn't de- velop until you had gone home. She stayed up here all last winter, you know. Fact is, she’s staying here now, but she’s changed—greatly changed. “Well, sir, Tobias never prided it- self on being anything but just an or dinary village. No rich men, no poor, and them that's got the most money earned it honestly. Decent fishermen, for the most part, trying to make a fair living and give their wives and families the best they can. Along comes Miss Perkins, wanting to re- form Tobias. “You remember last August it was the files that bothered her. Said flies was a disgrace to san-i-tation and civil- f-zation and wanted to wipe 'em out before the spring come along. Went round about the back doors pouring kerosene on the flower beds. Ruined two dollars’ worth of bulbs I'd set out and spoiled a half ton of fertilizer in my stable. Did I say anything? No. I believe in people's motives and Miss Abigail's was all right, only the | strings got twisted. “Started a crusade against the cows along about Christmas. Said the curse of the country was the Great White Plague, coming from cows. Got a tube full of some doctor's stuff and went round pricking every cow under the ear. Few days later, sald cow would naturally go off her feed, hav- ing all that stuff put into her system. Miss Abigail says that's a sign of tuber—tuber—tubers. Wanted 'em killed. Tobias set up a holler and we saved our cows. “You remember Hiram Bliss, who wanted to charge the artists a com- mission for letting 'em paint his scen- ery? Meanest man in Tobias, most people thought. Hard old skinflint, grasping, and always ready to take Went Around Pricking Every Cow Under the Ear. advantage of his neighbor. Well, sir, when Miss Abigail got the cow craze it hit him pretty hard. He was the in- strument of our saving our cows, be- cause he had twenty-six, and Miss Abi- gall had got into his pasture and pricked every cow he had, and they all developed tubers. Well, as I was saying, we saved our cows, but when we heard Miss Abigail was starting an agitation to have half our cottages pulled down, because they wasn't san- itary, we set up another holler. Miss Abigail was fighting all Tobias then, except Small, the builder, who was on her side, being naturally prejudiced. We held a town meeting, and a few of us formed a committee—me, Joe Emery, Jim Byles and Luke Thomson. Something had to be done to stop Miss Abigail from making our lives miserable. She was here and there and everywhere. She had something to tell the mothers about the babies’ feeding, and she wanted physicology taught in the school, and she didn't think oats ought to be about when the birds was nesting. Well, sir, we were in the heat of the discussion when in walks Hi Bliss. “I hear you boys are holding a town meeting regarding that Perkins wo- maz,” he says. We were 8o surprised to see him acting neighborly that we didn’t know what to say. “Make me the chairman,” says Hi, “and I'll—I'll settle her. Twenty-six cows, and saved by the skin of the neck!” “V/e elected him to the chair unani- mously, and then he told us his plan. There wasn't no way of getting rid of Miss Abigail except by kidnapping her. Hi explained that if we'd pay the cost of the gasolene he'd get her into his 2uto, which he'd been too mean to use ever since he bought it, the, ; 3 2 year before, and run her out a couple: pear to be an incentive to learning. of hundred miles over the mountains ‘ into Shaughnessy county, in the next state. | “‘Maybe she'll come back,’ we said. | “‘No, she won't, says Hi, grinning. | ‘I'm going to make her think I'm run- ning away with her to marry her, and ' by thunder, I'll make her think she's escaped me by a meracle.’ “Well, sir, Miss Abigail, like most | old maids hadn't no use for matri- mony. Not that she refused to rec- ognize it as a divine institution, but she looked on it very much as the Apostle Paul did, and we agreed that Hi's scheme would most likely scare her out of Tobias. Hi was to start out on the follering morning and look for Miss Abigail along the shore. She'd got a scheme for putting oil on the waters of the crick, to kill next year's mosquitoes, and it seemed safe enough for Hi to reckon on finding her there and kidnaping her before anyone could come to help—if anyone wanted to. “We put up ten dollars apiece for gasolene and sundries, including wear of tires. It was cheap at the price, but we found afterwards that Hi Bliss made a good profit out of the deal, as he usually did. The next morning, sure enough Hi came spinning along in his automobile. “‘I'll be back tomorrow night, boys,’ he says, winking. ‘Have you seen her? “We had. She was down to the crick with a watering-can full of kero- sene. We tipped Hi off and sort of waited around. Ten minutes later we heard the worst yelling you ever im- agined, and a minute after that Hi's automobile come whizzing along the road, containing Hi and Miss Abigalil. She was clinging round his neck and shouting ‘kidnaper!’ in a voice that ought to have waked all Tobias. But nobody offered to interfere as the auto went by, and presently we see it whizzing up the road toward the hills, and Miss Abigail still clinging to Hi's neck. sadly agreed that there must have been some accident. We guessed the auto had been upset and both their necks broken, and nobody grieved very much as the third week went by, and the fourth came in. “About the middle of the fourth week Hi comes bowling into town, and with him Miss Abigail, looking as spruce as a new pin. Hi stops the car. “‘Boys, he says, ‘let’ me present you to my wife. We've bin on our honeymoon in New York, and there's chicken for supper and you're all welcome.' “I don't know which startled us the more, the wedding or Hi's asking us to supper. But there's been a change since then, sir. Those two sort of chipped each other’s rough edges off, and, as my wife says, what made them 8o cranky was neither being married. You couldn't find a better neighbor than Hi now, and as for Mrs. Abigail —say, my wife says that kid of theirs is being raised by old-fashioned meth- ods the same as ours was! (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) MADE THE PUN PERMISSIBLE Hawthorne's Most Clever Use of Name | of Friend Worthy to Rank as a Classic. The pun has never been considered a very high distinguished form of wit by the humorists or writers of any lan- guage. It must be admitted, however, that when employed as Nathaniel Hawthorne employed it, as a delicate tribute to a friend, the pun serves an excellent purpose. Hawthorne's pun occurs in his “Our Old Home,” in the chapter headed “Consular Experiences.” In referring to his sojourn at Liverpool as consul, during the presidency of Franklin Pierce, Hawthorne dwells with special pleasure on the visits of a young Eng- lish friend, “a scholar and a literary amateur, between whom and myself there sprung up an affectionate and, I trust, not transitory regard.” | This friend used to come and git by the Hawthorne fireside, talking vi- vaciously and eloquently upon litera~ ture and life, the difference between American and English characteristics, and many other subjects. “It would gratify my cherished re- membrance of this dear friend,” Haw- thorne continues, “if 1 could manage, without offending him, or letting the public know it, to introduce his namo upon my page. Bright was the {llumi- nation of my dusky little apartment a8 often as he made his appearance' there.” i The casual reader never suspects' that Hawthorne has accomplished his purpose, and that the adjective that | cunningly begins a sentence and thus achieves the right to a capital initial may also be read as a proper name. | Henry A. Bright was, in fact, Haw- thorne’s only intimate friend in Liver- | pool. He was a man of wealth and position, a literary dilettante. Haw- thorne gave him the complete manu- | script of “The Marble Faun,” and it remains one of the most valued pos- sessions of Bright's descendants. Youthful Dutch Smokers. A census of smokers taken the oth- | er day among the boys attending nine elementary schools in a suburb of Am- sterdam, Holland, reveals that among the six-year-olds they number ten per cent.; among those of seven years 16 per cent.; and 32 per cent. among those of eight; while in the sixth schooling year, at which the average age is twelve, the percentage has risen to 53. As it falls rapidly after the limit of compulsory attendance, the early use of tobacco would not ap- It is the cigar, not the cigarette, which | these Dutch youngsters delight in.
