' WyOU know," T. Paer mused "half to

whale of a difference which queen tibcks

' "Wbaf're you thtnkln about now?"

"1 don't know as they do," T. Paer
answered, "but yo can't '"help thinkln'
on Columbus day what a big-mistake old
Chris made when 'he kidded that Span
ish dame Jnt soak in" her sparklers to
but him, a boat' to hunt ' America in." -"I
don't see why he did," Ma said.
"They ain't many queens would a done
it."
, "Oh. I don't', know." T. Paer philoso
phised, 'Jrou can't tell much., difference
between -a queen 'nd a kitchen mechanic
if you dress 'em both in dish aprons."
"That -ain't, o," s Ma objected. ; "A
woman's . grot to have brains to be a
queervnd she don't much to wash dishes
'nd mop floors."
"Then," TV- Paer answered, vnf- some
of the history I've read about's true
they's been, a lot of dishwashers wore
crowns." "-. .
"I ain't , denying that?" Ma retorted,
"but they.'s- been a lot of good ditch
diggers . spoiled by putting 'em oh
thrones" ,t - -
Sure,'' T. Paer admitted, ",'nd. I've
saw some queens with ' brooms for a
scepter- in my time." - .
"I've seen you looking at 'em' Ma obv
served -caustically.' "1 don't know any-
oooy more ooserving'n" you are in some
things."
"I didn't start out to do any brag
gin',"- T. Paer grinned. ."I was just
thinkln' what, a big difference it mad
because a Spanish queen instead of a
China one got stuck on Chris 'nd bought
: nis boat.""
"X don't see as It could- of made much
difference." Ma said doubtfully; "unless
he'd a got one of them junk ships they
have over in China Instead of one of
them Spanish gallons like he did get."
"That's Just it." T. Paer insisted earn
estly. "If he'd got' a junk he'd got it
in China Instead of over In Spain 'nd
that'd sure raised hell with New York."
"I don't like that language," 4 Ma
snapped. "If your can't talk decent you
need'nt talk at all"
"I didn't mean to," T. Paer apologized,
"but when I get to thinkln' of what -a
boob of a queen picker Chris was I
kinda get excited." .
Farmer Brown'

' Knner Brown's Boy-. -
FARMER BROWN'S BOY. perched in
a treetop, was so interested watching
- the Bear family in the berry patch that
" he forgot all about the two pails of ber
ris he had left there the day before
. when , those Bears .had frightened him
tway. They didn't enter his head until
ntji nonceu inai . rsusier Dear whs very
. near the bush Under which one of those
1 pails had been hidden.
;' "Gracious." exclaimed Farmer Brown's
Boy. "I hope that black rascal doesn't
.find those berries t"
But Buster did. He poked his head
- under that bush, then abruptly backed
away. It was plain that he was suspi
cious. He walked around that bush two
. or three times, and then sat up and
. ulared at it. He looked carefully in
every direction. He stretched his nose
out. and tested the air. Then once more
: he walked around that bush, only to sit
up aain in the same place.. Once, long
ago, Buster Bear found a pail of ber
ries and It got him into a great deal of
trouble. The handle of the pail taught
over his head and frightened him half to
death. He was suspicious of this pall.
But the temptation of those berries
" was too much for him. - He went near
enough to reach out and touch the pail
.with the claws of one paw. Then he did
the same thing with the other j paw.
' Nothing happened. He cocked his head
con one side and studied the pail. Then
' he tried touching it again. This time
: he pushed the pall over and jumped bacrc
V with a funny little growl. But the pall
Vjy there on its side motionless and
"erned harmless. Buster ventured 1 to
1 eat some of the berries that had rolled
- out. The pall remained harmless. Bus
ter gained courage. He fairly gobbled
up those berries. There were- no sticks
and leaves to get in his mouth, aa there

questioned. ' "I don't see as it affects
you none."
"Itan't, don't It V T. Paer exclaimed,
."if Chris'd coaxed a few Jade necklace
off n some Chinee charmer out :. lot out
on the east side d been worth norn a
million dollars." - " 1 . .
"Dream on,"' Ma smiled, "."you'll wake
op with a headache sooner or later."
."Well," T. Paer argued, "when Chris
got his boat started he Just headed
straight west, didn't her' . ',
"Yes. ; Ma answered. The - couldn't of
gone east without putting his ship on a
wagon." -
"That's Just It," T. Paer agreed, - 'nd
if .he'd started from China he couldn't
oft gone anyway but east-'nd cross the
ocean, could he?" .J.... v
."NO," Ma admitted, "but what' of
thatr
"What of itr T. Paer repeated. ."Lota
of It. If he bad Portland'd be New
York now, 'nd .Washington'd be where
Salem is, 'nd . they'd have ' the Palm
Beach hotel down at Shoreacres 'nd in
stead of it beLn Plymouth Rock in all
the histories it'd be Rooster Rock 'nd
we'd eat duck on Thanksgivtn' day in
stead of turkey."
"My sakes." Ma exclaimed, "I had'nt
thought of it that way."
"Of course you hadn't," T. Paer re
torted, "but if s a cinch I'm right just
the same."- ' .
"I wouldn't be surprised," Ma. conced
ed. "I've thought lots of times, it was
too bad our ancestors didn't know about
our part of the country first"
"They'd been nothin' to it," T. Paer
enthused. "If Chris'd only had the right
hunch they'd be givln monkey dinners
over to our Newport Instead of the
other one, 'nd Coney laland'd be at Sea
side nd they'd be pushin' them grown
up- baby carriages along a board walk
over to Tillamook. Columbus sure was
a nut like they Bald he was when it
come to drawin' to the right queen."
"I wonder," Ma mused thoughtfully,
"what'd been where New York is now
if he had a done it"
"Woods," T. Paer . answered. "If
Chris'd discovered us first I don't think
anybody'd ever been stingy enough to
want to take that part of the country
away from the Indians.""
"I believe you're right," Ma said.
"They wouldn't be much reason to want
to live there if they'd move Coney Island
away."
s" Boy's Berries
was when he stripped the berries from
the bushes.
In leas time than it takes fo tell it all
those berries that had rolled out of the
pall were -in Buster Bear's stomach.
Then he hesitated. He wanted the ber
ries in the pail, but he wasn't quite cer
tain of the harmleasness of tlfat pail.
Very gingerly he put in a paw and
scooped out more berries. When these
He finished bjf' sittiug . up with the
pail In one, arm while he tried to
scoop out the "last of the berries
with the"oUcr paw. '
were gone he tried again. After the third
time he made up his mind that that par
ticular pail was harmless, and he tin-
ished by sitting up with-the pall held
In one arm while he tried to scoop out
the last of the berries with the other
JFarmer Brown's r Boy,' watching frorn
the treetop, saw. all this. When Buster
ifrst found the .pail of berries Farmer
.Brown's Boy opened his mouth to yell
at him. -But he closed it again without
a ' sound. "What are .a' few quarts of
berries to the fun of seeing what he will
do?" muttered he. "This is better than
a circus.- Besides, there - is : that other
pailful of berries. I'm willing to divide
with Buster Bear."
So he 'said nothing and was glad of
it, for he, almost laughed aloud as he
watched Buster Bear's antics. Buster
didn't make much of a success in scoop
ing the last of the berries from the pail
as he held it with; one arm around It,
and lie began to lose patience. Then the
pail slipped from, his grasp and spilled
the last of .the-berries on the ground.
Buster licked these up and then looked
in the pail. Of course, it was empty.
This seemd to anger him.; He appeared
to think that' somehow it! was cheating
him. j Anyway, he suddenly struck it
with a big paw and sent it flying. It
landed -with a clatter close to Mrs. Bear
and- frightened her so that she jumped
and ran a short distance. It was all
very funny and quite -. worth the loss of
those berries. At least Farmer Brown's
Bay thought so, and they were his ber
ries. ; :
