The old lady went to. the cellar and when she came back her gold-rimmed spectacles were gone. She said to the tramp:— "You've got my specs." - He denied it, andi quietly , laying down the plate, she went to a bureau, took a revolver there from, pointed it at the tramp, and. told him if he didn't lay thoie specs on the tab:e, she would shoot him where ho stood: The 'tramp took the spectacle from his pocliet and mildly laid them down. "Now," said she "eat what I • , have brought you and get out." He ate and departed. When her son Augustus appeared the old lady, again taking the revolver from the bureau, said to him: "Augustus, hbw do you cock this weapon ?"

It is a grand sight to ride from Norfolk among these big garden,. While the land is saffiniontly elevated for drainage, there are stretches seven or eight lapel oog almost as level as a Soot. The soil is wonderfully rich, and though it luta been worked for a hundred years past, it is only here snd there , that, a spot-needs compost to renew its vigor.

Every truck farmer pets aside a certain number of acres each year for the growinglof this fruit. Georgia is too far away, i to Bend us ripe melons, and the distance makes the price too high. Virginia can pick melons one day and have theni in -the - Northern . market the nei', and at suck_ prices as will `give them a ready sale. The rule with some is seven hundred hills to the acre, while others crowd iri eight hundred.; If each bill returns ono - good melon, the yield per acre is $64; but each bill returns from one to four . melons, which sell from seven to nine cents each, and it easy to see whist profit the grower mikes. • Nearly every melon reaching Norfolk comes by water: Such growers as do not bring them in their own boats, sailed - by their own crews, are furnished trans portation by steamers which run up and down in the season for the express Pulse. A great feature about this truck busi ness is that every pentium is paid for in cash as delivered. Every box of ber rips, crate of cabbage or dozen melons delivered at Norfolk is paid for on the nail, and in return all farm bands and berry-pickera aro certain of the money the hour it is due.

This was the, inter- view: 'We own some big farms up; there. gentlemen. •A friend of mine owns one which he had to give a mortgage on, and I give you my word, the mortgage was due on one end before they could get it recorded on the other. You see; it wee laid off in connties.' There was a murmur of astonishnient, and the Dakota man continued: 'The worst of it is, it breaks up families so. Two years ago I saw a whole family prostrated with grief; women yelling, children howling and" dogs barking. One of my men had his camp truck packed on semen fonr•mule teams, and he was bidding everybody good-bye.' 'Where was he going ?' asked a Gravesend man. 'He was going half-way zer oes the farm to feed the pigs,' replied the Da kota man. 'Did he - ever get back to his family ?'
