Adew-years ago a town in southern Kansas iacaie by English- men, was Known on both sides of the sea. To-day nothing remains of it save the beautifulchurch. When last heard from a farmer had fenced in ‘the publi¢ square as a pasture and pen for his hogs. A century henee the traveler will hunt Harper county:long before he finds the town of Rnmymeds, «In the first volume of his : memoirs Senator Sherman gives an account of his ancéstors; and particulatly of Ed- mond Sherman, a cloth manufacturer and grim Puritan of considerable repu- tation, who once lived in Dedham, Es- sex county, England, where he'was born in 1585, and who died in Dedham, Nor- folk county, Mass...He came to this country in 1654. The senator adds: “When in London in the summer of 1889 I concluded to make a visit to the graves of my ancestors. I examined Black’s Universal atlas to locate Ded- ham, but it was not to be found. I made inquiries, but could discover no one who knew anything about Dedham, and concluded that there was no such place, although I had often read of it. I was compelled, therefore, to give up my visit.” But Senator Hoar, through Lis mother, a descendant of Roger Sher- man, “more fortunate, or more persist- nt,” found the place, ‘and verified the accounts we had of our common ances- ter.” Dedham is “two or three miles from Manningtree, a more modern town on the line of the railroad, which has sub- stantially obscured the ancient and de- cayed village of Dedham.” Manning- tree, as. shown by the atlas, is near the mouth of the River Stour, and the. bor- “der of Essex and Swioll:.

Tt is tho capital | of Norfolli county, and, as one may see fav ia Postal Guide, there is a Dedham in liancoek county, Me.; in Douglas county, Wis., and Dedham is the capital of Carroll county, Ila, The name of all these placés can ‘be traced beck through New Englanders to that ancient and de- cayed village of Essex, and yet one of the foremost American statesmen, whose grandfather and grandmother were Connecticut Yankees, could not SHAY from, any. bok or person in Londee that such a place as the English ham existed. . It. was Senator Hoar, a Massachusetts _mnan,, through, fortune ., or either persis- who his if it should be lost again it might be identified. It is a curious comment on the Londoners that they did not know of the existence of a village whigh cuts soimportanta figure in the history of English-speaking men until it was pointed out to them by an inquisitive old Yatikee.—Pittsburgh ng, "SCOTT.

Uncle Moses and his wife, Aunt Dilsy, both being very old and afflicted, were allowed to occupy.a little old cabin and je | use whut land they could tend, rent free. # Uncle Moses requested that he be per- mitted “to cut de trees offen dat ar 1i’l branch, what runs ‘from my bac yard, please, sah.” Permission granted, Uncle Moses didn’t look as if he eould fell a sapling. He was so afflicted that he couldn't plow. It was Aunt Dilsy that plowed, But he displayed an ability toeut down trees that was truly astonishing. Soon he had-a long, narrow strip of rich, low ground, and Aunt Dilsy plowed it with the cow, She plowed with the cow be cause she was of a timid natur be- sides being afflicted. She would have been afraid of any other beast, even if she had had one, which she nadn’t. And| = now, behold the corn! . Such a pile of corn had been raised on “cat ar ti’ branch Lottom,” that its fame had spread abroad over the plantation. Very proud and boastful was Uncle Moses, ind great was the crowd at his corn shucking. Old and young, rent- ers and hired hands, and even Uncle Bristol Tfunt, who owned seven acres of land, were all there. As it was not a “licker corn shucking,” but a ‘supper corn shucking,” the ladies were out in full force. Conspicuous among them were the Conitchee girls, in red skirts and new shirt waists, the belles of the evening. Running them pretty close, though, were the, Turner girls, who wore only gingham dresses, but had side combs in their bangs and their back hair ar- ranged in Psyches. The boys were numerous and jolly, several from. “over the erick” being. present. Jimmie Goode, the crack banjo player, was also there, . “You, Jimmie, dar!” cried Uncle Moses. “Don’t you shuck none o’ my corn; you pick dat banjo, so dese nig- pers can wuk fast. Dis ain’t no one- horse corn pile!” “All. right, | Jimmie, readily. | pick it ut supper time,” and the fasei- nating strains: of “Georgie es filled the air. The shucking went on briskly with increasing hilarity. “Hi, dar, you niggers!” interrupted Unele Moses. ‘Don’t you ‘dassen't ‘play baseball wid my years o’ corn,” and “You stop dat rasslin’, you Sam Jones en Kiah Hawkins! Miss Pattie Belle Conitchee ain’t lookin’ at yer en yer ain’t got her ter study.” The task of preserving order kept Uncle Moses busy and gave him little time, for telling any of his stories of “de good old time befo’ de war.” When the huge pile of corn was get- ting low, the magic announcement of “Supper!” was made—and such a sup- per! Fax roasted pig, luscious chicken custards and the most wonderfu! cakes. Aunt Dilsy was a cook “shore nuff.” The compliments she received from the appreciative consumers were fairly overwhelming. was the cutting of the “live bird cake.” It was a veritable cake, brown and de- 4.licious, in the eenter. of which was a bird, alive and’ flutteri vote was “taken to decide welch Gene younp’Ta- dies should have the honor of cutting the cake and liberating the bird. Exeitement ran high, and through } the enerretie efforts of Siah Hawkins, Miss Pattie Belle Conitchee came very near being elected to that Lonor. But Miss Ginky Turner received the most votes in the end, greatly to the elation cf the Turner faction. Miss Ginky Tur- ner was led up to the cake table by Jim- mie Goode, his banjo swung jauntily over his shoulder, and she sliced the cake with much grace and dexterity. The live bird hopped out, and after - ing abont: the room in bewilderr. sage and red peppers, from which height it seemed to view the proceed- ings with a quizzical cye. The banjo being again called into requisition, Jim- ‘nile Goode played “Bird in a Cage, Love,” all singing with him. This was pp llownd by “Dat. Yaller Gal, She’s! Pi "a solo by Kiah Hawkins. Jim- hen played his inimitable “John- | nie, Cyarn’t Yer Cum?” but it was to the dulecé strain of “Greasy Bread” that old Uncle Moses went to sleep under the table. —N.Y.Sun. .
