ELEAZER 4 WIDE, WONDERFUL WORLD BY FRANKLIN J. MEINE Editor, The American Peoples Encyclopedia A LIMfeRICK, as most people know, is a humorous verse, form supposed to have originated about 1700 in the barrack room dit ties of soldiers of Limerick, Ire land, returned from duty in France. As made popular by Ed ward Lear in his “Book of Non sense,” published in 1846, the limerick consists of five lines, rhymed a-a-b-b-a. The third and * fourth lines have two metrical feet, and the others three. Per haps the best known of all modem s.±Vt' . limericks, according to the Ameri can Peoples Encyclopedia, is the anonymous “Young Lady of Ni ger”: There was a young lady of Niger Who smiled as she rode on a tiger; They returned from the ride With the lady Inside, And the smile on the face of the tiger However, the people of Limerick haven't devoted much of their time to verse. They find it more profit able to care for the great herds of cattle and the flocks of sheep and goats, and to growing potatoes and oats.

And those things vary a lot, you know. Hardly any two of ’em are just alike. Guess each started from a stray seed being dropped. And all that came from that bush to make the thicket were alike. We had yellow ones, red ones, and one thicket of a sort of or chid or purplish plums. This last one was our favorite. It was la ter and came after the others were about gone. And it was far better eating than the rest. So we let 'none of them go to waste. One June day I ventured back there across the hills to see how that favorite clump was coming along. Much to my sur prise, they were ripening, and I was hungry for plums. So I lit in on ’em. The first juicy one I bit started a tooth hurting. But I ate right on until the pain overcame my appetite and I headed home, holding my jaw. I found the remedy for tooth ache there on the medicine shelf, carbolic acid! I wonder now about our using that dan gerous stuff. But it was our standard remedy. We’d dip a smatl swab of cotton on a straw in it, and then pack that down in the decayed and hurting tooth. The pain would usually ease right off, and it did that time. Anywhere a bit of the acid would touch the mouth, the skin would later peel off. But what was that compared with toothache? I left that cotton in there, returned next day, and feasted on that delicacy of the Stone Hills. I’ve never seen a wild plum just like it, before or since. It should have been pre served. this weeksA< i ?: >/' patterns..^ ^ ^ SY AUDREY LANE "V 1526 12-42 PILOT QUITS . . . Capt.
