People Do Like Watermelons.
It has been ever thus, since child
hood's hour that the colored man
would accept one of the tempting
uscious red colored watermelons and
whenever he had an opportunity
would swipe one of the tempting
melons. But this is not a colored
man in the case at point, but there
are other lovers of the melons, for
the field of Charles Lenker over
near the Weeping Water creek was
raided a few nights ago.
Mr. Lenker had arranged so the
field could be flooded with electric
ights in an endeavor to protect his
melons, of -which he has a large
number, and good ones, so the report
goes. However he had the melons
watched with a trusty shot gun in
the hands of the watcher, when a
crowd of pilferers, estimated from
a bare half dozen to fifteen or more
raided the field and were plucking
the nicest in the patch and destroy
ing the others, when the gun loaded
with shot happened to go off while
pointed toward some of the larger
melons, and a scatterment was at
Dnce evident, for the fences, bridges
and whatever happened to be in the
way were no barrier to the utter
rout of the thieves.
It is surmised they went to some
doctor out of town fo recover the
shot or exchanged services and none
ot the party was seen since. Well,
melons are good, but be careful not
to get too close to the bigger ones.

evening at the home of Miss Edith
Clizbe, with Mrs. II. C. Wilkinson
presiding.
The book "God in Our Garden" by
Margaret Sangster was reviewed by
Mrs. W. D. Lenker. The beauties of
this book were brought out in a
most forceful manner. This garden
on the housetop, eighteen stores
above the city traffic was started
during the saddest time of her life
and through her work with it mir
acles were performed by planting,
transplanting, thinning and caring
for the plants, while the changing
colors brought changes of feeling.
The routine work brought strength
for her regular duties of life.
Mrs. J. M. Ranney had as her sub
ject "Our Grandmother's Garden."
She quoted the beautiful legend of
the angels as the beginning of all
flowers, nad said "A garden which
is only for display can never touch
the heart.' She spoke of her recent
visit to Metamora, Illinois and of her
mother's beautiful garden and
brought to her listeners the beau
ties of the old fashioned flowers In
old fashioned gardens, as far back as
the year 1761. Vegetable gardens,
herb gardens or flower gardens, all
hold beautiful memories.
Roll call was responded to by
memories of our grandmothers gar
dens. At the close of the program Miss
Clizbe served delicious mint sherbet
and cakes, with each plate bearing
a spray of mint blossoms.

Old Time Newspapers
While at work tearing down a
wood shed on the property recently
sold by the Ingwerson estate east of
the Christian Science church, work
men were surprised to find that the
east wall was papered with three
layers of newspapers bearing the
dates of February 19 and February
26, 1S79, and April 10, 1SS0. The
papers were all copies of the New
York Weekly Sun and The Golden
Censor, edited by O. R. Brouse and
C. E. Mandeville and published at
Rockford, Illinois. The papers were
legible and in very good condition,
but very brittle and fell to pieces
when touched. It would be interest
ing to know whose hands pasted
those papers on the wall and where
the building originally stood, as it
had evidently been moved to this
location.
