“IF ITS GOOD WE HAVE IT’
A NARRATIVE OF NAMES.
About thirty years ago a Young for
eigner arrived at Ellis Eiland. He was
a poorly dressed Person and had a
rather Savage look on his face, which
would indicate that he belonged to the
lower class of immigrants. Indeed, he
was unable to pay the regular fare and
had worked his way over as Cole-man
for the ship that brought him across
the waters.
He wore a pair of Black trousers,
a Green tie and a Brown hat, the
Crown of which was almost gone. His
general appearance might have indi
cated that he was a loafer or beggar,
but if it did it did not reveal his true
nature, for as soon as he was admit
ted to the United States he imme
diately applied to an employment
agency for work. He gave his past
occupation as a Mason and said that
he would like to follow the same line
of business. At that time New York
was putting in her system of elevated
roads or Overstreets and he got a job
laying the foundations for these struc
tures.
The next thing was to find a board
ing place and he immediately set out
in search for one. Owing to his being
a Sengelmann he had but little to care
t for and was none too particular about
his location. Just about this time he
met a friend from ’Francisco who had
come over to that place three years
before, but finding little to do there
had come to New York.. This friend
had been in New York for nearly two
Shears and he soon found his old friend
a suitable house. While here he fell
in love with the proprietor’s daughter,
who later became his wife.
His job did not pay him well and
after about a month’s time he left the
company to take up another job his
friend had selected for him. This
second job was with the Hudson River
Subway (Holloway) Company, where
he remained for over four years. He
liked this job much better than the
first; besides it paid him more. As
he never did Gammill, he was able,
at the end of the four years, to boast
of a large account in a Nash-ional
bank.
But he soon grew tired of the city
life; besides he had married during
this time and he now longed for the
freer, fresher atmosphere of the coun
try. Accordingly at the end of four
years he moved out about ten miles
from the city to a farm that he had
previously selected and partly paid
for. This farm was known as the old
Smith farm and included about thirty-
five or forty acres. The farm had once
been a very prosperous one, but the
weeds and grass had been allowed to
grow so much that the last man to
occupy the place had left without
gathering the crop.
The house was surrounded by a
rather rude fence and Stiles had
served the purpose of gates. The
house was situated on top of a small
Hill or Knoll-e, and near it stood a
large pole at the top of which was
fastened a huge Bell, which seemed
to have served the purpose of calling
the laborers from their work. Near
this pole was a much larger and taller
one which bore at the top a small
Martin box. There were several pieces
of scrap iron in the yard. An old
double barreled shot Gunn and a few
empty Peters cartridges scattered
over one of the floors were the only
things found in the house.
A barn, which seemed to be in bet
ter condition than the house, stood a
little way back of the house, and near
it stood several Stacks of hay, dry
and Crisp. There was an old well
about half-way from the barn to the
house, and an old wooden bucket half
covered with Moss floated on top of
about three feet of water.
This was certainly a desolate place
for one to bring his bride of only
about six months, but the plans of a
future prosperity had long been laid
and the couple at once set themselves
to the fulfillment of them. The land
was found to be excellent for the grow
ing of fruits, and especially was this
true of the Cherry. An orchard includ
ing about half of the farm was planted
the third year and so favorable were
the results that Moore land was
bought and more trees were painted.
This business proved a big success
and later led to a fortune.
UNIFORM NO. 5.
How about a uniform No. 5, consist
ing of a white cap and white shirt,
instead of the hot blouse and cap, for
dress parades and social functions on
these hot, sultry days that are soon to
come?
We take it for granted that every
cadet possesses a white shirt; so all
that would have to be bought would
be a white cap. This cap would prob
ably cost $1.25, and we can see that
with this small outlay we can be cool
and still look 10 per cent better than
formerly. Nothing is prettier than a
white uniform. What’s the opinion in
regard to it?
SIREN CHARM.
The whisper of a beautiful woman
can be heard farther than the loudest
yell of destiny.
