Tfce old Man's Threat.
A Missouri writer is lamenting the
gradual disappearance, of the p-jpaw.
“The perslmmou Is left,” he says,
“though it Is becoming scarcer with
each »uc«-<*«*ding year. Ther«> are pos­
sums yet to lie found. and quail may

there are some cultivated pa paws to

But, sp«*aking generally, the Missouri
papaw is lieconilng a thing of yester­
day.
“As a state we have gone from the
papaw to the banana stage. We buy
our fruit al street stand» instead of
wandering out In the wild woods in the
fall time aud finding It. We have
