A Homely
Courtship
By SUSAN YOCNG PORTER
It was more than half a century ago
that ?torlea of tbe tow path were cur
rent That was when tbe canal boat
was tbe chief means of transportation
In America. At one time they were
uaed as passenger boat*. Then, under
competition with the railroads, they
sank Into freighting only, and now tbey
bare almost entirely passed away.
In those freighting days a man named
Shock drove a mule on the towpath
which pulled a boat Shock was as
homely aa his name He had never
bad a sweetheart, and there was little
bope of hla ever having one, for when
ever a woman looked at him she was
appalled
There waa, some three or fonr hun
dred yards from tbe canal, at about
tbe center of Shock's route, a tumble
down bouse In a small lot. In one corn
er of which was a plasty. One day,
when Shock waa trudging along be
hind his mule, he saw at an open win
flow In the dilapidated trap a female
flgure. She waa too far off for him to
see what she looked like, bnt she wav
ed something white, which Enoch took
to be a tablecloth. Whether she wm
trying to flirt with him or was shaking
tbe crumbs out of the doth he could
not be sure. Taking a bandanna from
his pocket he returned the ware.
Now. Enoch waa cocnltant of the
fact that he was not beautiful. Ilia
hair was a flery red. his nose was a
pug tbe color of his hair, hla teeth
were mostly gone. Had It not been
for this he might hare made bold on
hla return trip to glre his mule a rest
and (rone to the house a wooing As It
was. and since this was the only
chance he had erer met. he waa wary
He thought It better to make some
headway In lovemaklng before risking
showing tbe lady his homely person st
close proximity. So. Instead of atop
ping when he passed again, having
provided himself with a boy'a blow
pin, he fired a wad of paper at her.
which being unrolled rrrealed the fol
lowtng note:
I mn you at yura winder ylstnday and 1
wood Ilk* Terry much ?o mak yur? ?c
quatntenc.
The latlx w#s watching for the boat
on Its PPttirn trip, and when Enoch
fired his note lit her she saw It tall
near her house and. going ont. picked
It op and read It But by this time
Enoch had pone on his way.
When Enoch passed the house again
be saw large letters chalked ngslnst
the boose, which, though It had been
originally white, not having been paint
ed In twenty years, was now a dull
brown. The letters were plainly visi
ble from the canal. and Enoch read:
I can't what y mi look like from
9?tai but you may be a decent lookln' fel
ler and If you ulr you kin come and aee
tfla.
This reply was rather a setback to
one who knew full well that he was
homely as a hedgehog. The communi
cation was brief, and It contained ex
?ctly what Enoch would have preferred
that It should not contain. The lady
evidently was looking for a handsome
man. The message convinced him
that be was right In not permitting her
to see him close by before he had
stirred up some sentiment which might
lead her to overlook In a measure hi*
homeliness.
Enoch's next love letter was written
In lampblack on several boards nailed
together and set up on the deck of his
canal boat facing the house of bis In
amorata. It read:
If you atr a purty woman I wood be hap
py to stop over Halnt (rot no u?? far
ugly wlmmen
When Enoch passed the house the
next time the blinds were all closed
and no living thing was to be seen ex
cept a few chickens scratching the dirt
In the yard. Enoch wns disappointed.
It was plain to him that this was In
tended for a snub On his next trip
be wrote on his boards. "Wbat'B op?'
To which was chalked the reply.
"Nothln'."
Enoch reasoned that his lady love
had been miffed at his prevlorts com
munlcatlon, thinking that he bad ac
cused her of being homely, but. hav
ing thought thf matter over, she had
seen bis note In another light He
began to think that "faint henrt never
won fair lady" and he might as well
faee the music one time as another.
80 he wiped the lampblack off his
boards and wrote again:
II* atop over nex' trip
When he passed again he was ar
rayed in a store suit that had cost him
$4- Hto hair had been greased with a
slice of fat and his boots had been
blacked. Stopping his mule? and the
boat when It had lost Its momentum?
he proceeded to the house of hla lady
love. She had been watching him
from a window and opened the door
for him.
"Laws a marsyT waa her exclama
tlon.
"By gum!" was Enoch's.
The woman had lost most of the hair
on her head, which seemed to have
gone to her face. Her nose had de
veloped abnormally nnder the effect of
aome akin dlsenee. She was alabelded
and angular
She slammed the door In Enoch's
face, who turned and. with a melan
choly step, went hack to hla boat and
started en In hla Interminable Jonr
neys back and forth The woman
heard nothing from him for several
months, nor did be bear from her.
Then they fell Into a new correspond
ence which led them on and on till
they forgot each other's homeliness
and were married.

Trade At Home
II is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, ao they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousand* of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against mail order business.
