son, and Charles Sypulski, to help dig the root. In Chinese the name, ginseng, means man's healthn and so is greatly valued by them. Armed with strong hoes the little company will hunt through shady haunts, then dry the roots and send by post to the port of Philadelphia. Such a venture will no doubt mean a business that will branch out till our friend Warren becomes the village apothecary. SEPTEMBER 13 Oh Diary, but for the bravery of one of our lads, we might have had a sad tragedy at our cabin doors tonight. Little Eleanore Trabalski, tripping down the lane with that light little way of hers saw sud- denly near some rocks a flower that did much appeal to her. As she was just about to gather it, she was seized by strong arms and rudely thrown some distance away. Angry tears dimmed her eyes as she turned to Rudolph Olund, who had thus roughly handled her. He did not heed her teary eyes for he was busily hurling rocks at a snake, pale brown with reddish bands between his eyes and nostrils. It was the deadly copperhead which had lurched at her, and but for the timely arrival of our hero, poor little Eleanore would be no more. OCTOBER 3 By the little picket fence which surrounds the cabin of the Rice family grows the herb garden of Edna, the well favored daughter. Such a fragrance as the winds waft from the little herb patches! Sage, mint, rue, lavendar, catnip and anise all grow in profusion, and when she is not tending her garden, she hunts in the woods for poke root, peppermint and sassafras which she sells to Warren Scheid to send with his ginseng to far Eastern cities. NOVEMBER 8 As the geese fly South and the first hints of winter fill the air we gather for indoor sports, Diary. 'Tis today that Dame Klemm and her daughter Amelia will entertain at an apple cutting party. All of the guests will peel and quarter apples which will be placed in the sun to dry. Later, some of these will be strung about the fireplace. 'Tis a fair place to have a party, Diary. After the bountiful supper our fiddler, Ray Walker, who does play so melodiously, will play for the dancing. DECEMBER 20 School term is closing and Master Natale is going on to the next settlement for the winter term. Each seat is filled, Diary, as the first form scholars finish the year,s work. Some of them will go East to finish their education at a Ladies' select school or academy. Of such is Elenore Thomas. Oh Little Book, if you could but hear her recite Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight. Not a dry eye was in that room, and for encore did she recite all of Goldsmithis Q'Deserted Village. I tell you truly, Diary. While Ruby Hester did add four col- ums at once, and did cube root and such problems as even the master had pause at giving, so difficult were they. They will not think us untutored when such as these we send from our wilds. V Well, it has been a pleasant year. What ho for the next one, I wonder! Page Eighteen
