Yours Truly. “By this time the tollkeepers saw something was up, for the pedestrians on the bridge began to run, drivers YfriUpped up their horses and men and women with blanched faces declined to set foot on either end of the structure. A messenger {there were no tele phones then) was dispatched for the superintendent, and’he came running. The old fiddler was ‘pointed out, and a constable was ordered to arrest him: but, there being no suspicious person law then In existence, the officer shook his bead. The bridge was cutting up all sorts of capers, swaying back and forth like a swing, until at last the su perintendent in desperation ran to the fiddler and promised never to demand toll from him. An agreement was en tered into, the fiddler pledging to keep secret to his dying day the keynote, so that no revengeful musician ever again could place the structure in Jeopardy without studying out the keynote him self.—Pittsburg Gazette. PUMPKINS IN QUANTITY. The Xe*» laduatry of ftrowSn* Them Cnnainic FnctaiWea. lu northeaster* Ohio lanr** quantities of punipkina are raised for canning purposas. Tuls Is especially true in the vicinity of Csnneaut, where Is locat ed one of the largest canneries for ponxpklns on the Ametlcan continent. More than 2AX) tons of this product are ftftnn used at a cannery in one season, stud this quantity is equivalent to about 1.&& wagon loads, says a writer in 'Ohio Farmer. -A field that will yield twenty tons of pumpkins to the acr» Is considered ex cellent. T^ie pumpkin field shown In Tthe cut was an unusually productive •one. Pumpkins only were raised in stead of <00111 and pumpkins together. PART or A PROLIFIC PATCH. Most farmers raise pumpkins In the midst of their corn and cannot, of course, expect so large a pumpkin crop. The size of the annual crop also de pends a great deal upon the weather at the time when the vines are in blossom The yield may therefore vary from year to year, and on this naturally de pends the price which Is paid per ton, it ranging in different years from $2.50 to $5. And when the crop In the vicini ty of a canning factory Is small it is necessary to ship pumpkins in from other parts of the country in carloads. Pumpkins are being grown In much greater quantities today than they were a few years ago. States like West Vir ginia and Arkansas, where the agrlcul turlst has given little attention to them in the past, are finding that under cor tain conditions they are a profitable crop. Michigan, where so much atten tion la being given to firults, sugar beets and other products In recent years, is giving increased attention to this crop too. A ton of pumpkins will make about 1,200 pounds when canned MRS. W. A BLAGK. ALL SERVICE RESUMED.
