Pumpkins Versus Squashes :
A Crisis and a Compromise
BENEZEH SINGLETON and Sural) Jane Scott wore lovers, but
parted because they couldn't agree about the earth's motion
around the sun, and each wedded a new sweet lien it.
A few years passed, and Sarah's husband and Ebeuezer's
wife died within a month of each other, and afterward Sarah
lived alone. and so did Ebenezer. Tbey had thus lived for
nearly two years wheu I'ate stepped in to work her will.
Next door to the widow was a vacant lot, the owner of which
lived a hundred miles away. Her garden was a small one,
nnd the idea occurred to tier to rent rne vacant lot mar sue nujui ihims muie
vegetables.
One day In passing along the street ICbenezer Singleton cast, his eyes upon
that vacant lot. It needed only a front and back fence to Inclose It, and there
was a spot for a fine garden. He would write to the owner and secure it. It
was nest door to the widow, who as a girl had opposed his belief and defied
his opinion, but that need not make any difference with either of them.
Ebenezer wrote to the man who owned the lot, and the reply was that he
migut go aueati. xne wmow wruie 10
the wife of tho man who owned tlio
lot, and she wns told to pro ahead.
Therefore each one went ahead. Ebe
nezer got a load of fencing on the
ground first, but he was only three or
four hours ahead of the widow. He
was ou the spot when her fencing came
up, and when she came out he asked:
"What Is your fencing for?"
"To fence in this lot," was the reply.
"But so is mine. I have rented it."
"So have I," said the widow, "and I
have got a letter to prove it."
Ebenezer also had a letter. And what
was going to be done in the matter?
It was finally agreed that each should
build a fence and each to have half
the lot.
Ebenezer was inordinately fond of
, .. ... . .. pumpkin pies. It was not strange,
The East Half and the West Half. thcrefore ,bat Ue p]anto(l bis linlf the
Jot with pumpkin seeds. The widow was just ns fond of winter squashes, and,
as was to be expected, she planted her half with the seeds of this vegetable.
When the vines began to run Ebcnezer's pumpkin vines began to gallop
over among the squashes, and the squashes Invaded ihe enemy's territory. The
middle of that lot for twenty feet each way of the line was a mixed up mass of
pumpkin and squash vines.
One morning after a night's warm rain, which made every vine grow three
feet longer, the widow and Ebenezer stood surveying the strange confusion.
She was the first to speak, and she said:
"Will you please remove your pumpkin vines from my land?"
"I was just about to ask the same question," replied Ebenezer.
There was only one way to do—to go over and see Mr. Bangs, the justice
of the peace, and have him decide what was to be done.
"Well," said the J. P., after gathering all the particulars, "this is not a •
case for law. A pumpkin vine will run where it pleases despite the owners I
of the laud, and a squash vine will do the same thing. My advice to you 5
is—er—urn"- •• |
Ebenezer and the widow both held their breath. t
"Is—er— urn," continued the J. P., "if it was my case I should let my half |
of the lot marry the other half and thus get rid of the vexed question of 3
(ownership and make the pumpkins and the squashes behave themselves." i
Ebenezer did not advance an obstinate opinion, and the widow seemed |
to think it was a reasonable solution of the difficulty. Therefore before |
the pumpkin vines bad quite reached the back end of the lot and the S
squash vines reached the front fence of it there was a marriage and a |
feast at which pumpkin and squash pies played a prominent part.
