BARTON - AND IN PICTURES BY - A.M. WILLARD. - - BOSTON THE PILGRIM PRESS CHICAGO] - - - - - COPYRIGHT, 1898 - BY WILLIAM E. BARTON - - - - - PUBLISHER’S PREFACE - - -The author and artist of this book are so much better known in -connection with other kinds of literary and artistic work, that a word -concerning its origin will be in order. Just before Christmas, 1897, Mr. -Willard, the artist, sent to his friend Dr. Barton twenty pencil -sketches illustrating the evolution of a pumpkin pie. Dr. Barton wrote -some verses to accompany them for his own children. They gave so much -pleasure to his little people and to others, and were enjoyed by so many -older people as well, that the author and artist have consented to give -them to other children. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - -Dr. Barton is well known as the author of more pretentious works in -theology, history, and fiction, and Mr. Willard is known as the painter -of “Yankee Doodle,” the most famous patriotic picture painted in this -country. His “Minute Men of the Revolution” is hardly less noted, and -not less meritorious. His comical pictures also are widely known, with -humor varying from the quiet Sunday smile that goes with “Pitching the -Tune,” to the rollicking, boisterous laugh belonging to “The Drummer’s -Latest Yarn.” - - [Illustration] - -But Mr. Willard first became known to the public as a painter of -children. His first pictures to attract attention of the public were a -pair called “Pluck,” representing a homemade cart occupied by some -little folks, and drawn by a dog in hot pursuit of a rabbit. These made -their advent twenty odd years ago when the chromo was in its glory, and -found their way into thousands of homes. - - [Illustration] - -It is interesting to notice the recurrence of the theme in these -pictures. There is still a dog, and the children must be a generation -younger than those in “Pluck,” but they are the same sturdy, -industrious, plucky little people. - -Mr. Willard’s children are always wholesome and attractive. They are -honest, happy, unspoiled little folks, full of fun and ingenuity, and -good companions for boys and girls everywhere. - - THE PUBLISHERS. - - [Illustration] - - - - - INTRODUCTION - - - This is the tale of a pumpkin pie - And of Charlie and Fred. Just how and why - They labored with their sister Nell - And Towser helped, this book will tell. - - All boys and girls who read it through - Will know what they themselves should do. - If they will work, and wait, and try, - They, too, may have a pumpkin pie. - - Where shines the sun with mellow light, - And grass grows green and flowers are bright, - There live our girl and jolly boys, - In all the farm home’s cares and joys. - - They drive the cows adown the lot - Where cool the creek, though days are hot; - In health and happiness they dwell, - And what they do I now will tell. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - I - - - “Hurrah!” cried Carl, “the sun shines gay; - The winter’s gone. It’s warm to-day! - Let’s gather sticks in the garden lot - And make a jolly fire. Why not?” - - Then out ran Fred, and Helen, too, - And Towser came to help them through. - They raked the sticks, the weeds they brought, - And every brier and twig they sought. - - It made a heap ere they did stop; - Fred’s head was lower than the top. - They lit the pile, the flames rose high; - They laughed to see the bright sparks fly! - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - II - - - Said Carl next day, “Now, Fred, we’ve found - That we can work. Let’s plow the ground. - We’ll make a garden all our own, - And have a pumpkin in it grown.” - - A forkéd stick they quickly got, - And started there to plow the lot. - Carl was a horse, the dog another; - The plowman was the younger brother. - - They turned a furrow deep and wide, - And Helen walked the plow beside; - And Nell cried, “Gee!” and Fred said, “Whoa!” - And merrily did the plowing go. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - III - - - But though they toiled and did not shirk, - Their plowing proved too much like work. - The plow was dull, the harness frail, - Their plowing seemed but doomed to fail. - - Old Towser, who did not complain, - Showed that he felt the heavy strain, - And when they looked across the patch, - Their furrow only seemed a scratch! - - Carl panted hard and scratched his head. - “I’ve had enough of that!” he said. - And Helen said, “Wait, boys, I’ll show - You how to plow with spade and hoe!” - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - IV - - - They dug away till almost noon, - With spade and hoe and great big spoon. - And Towser dug at a wee round hole, - Pretending that he smelt a mole. - - The hours sped by as if on wings; - Swift goes the day that pleasure brings. - And deep they dug the mellow soil, - And raked it smooth with patient toil. - - The noon bell rang; they cried, “Look here! - See how we’re digging, mother, dear! - We’re nearly through. It can’t be noon! - Keep dinner hot; we’ll be there soon!” - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - V - - - How good the dinner was that day! - It makes folks hungry, thus to play. - They ate their fill of bread and meat, - And mother smiled to see them eat. - - Soon as the dinner-hour was done, - Back to the garden did they run; - And Helen bore, as swift she ran, - Some pumpkin seeds in a small tin pan. - - Fred dug a hole that was nice and round, - And Charlie planted them in the ground; - And Towser gazed as though he wanted - To eat the pie before ’twas planted! - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - VI - - - They waited for the seeds to start; - And patience is as great an art - As farming is; but you must know - Without it pumpkins will not grow! - - So many times they looked in vain, - They thought they would not go again. - Busy with other kinds of play, - A week or more they stayed away. - - They waited till they ’most forgot, - But one day, crossing o’er the lot, - They went to look, and cried, “At last - They’re up, and they are growing fast!” - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - VII - - - Well, after that there was much to do, - But day and night the wee vines grew. - Each day they helped their mother dear, - Each week some wonder did appear. - - A yellow flower one day they found, - In two weeks more a green ball round, - That grew upon the pumpkin vine: - And Carl and Fred cried, “This is fine!” - - Fred watched it with an eager eye - And said, “Now we shall have some pie!” - And Helen called old Towser near - And said, “A baby pumpkin, dear!” - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - VIII - - - So June passed on, and warm July, - And up the corn grew rank and high; - Beyond where they their seed had sown, - The cornfield stretched, a forest grown. - - Upon the fence the children sat - With bare brown feet and torn straw hat. - Between the corn-rows on the ground - Their pumpkin lay, large, green, and round. - - And Charlie said, “Our pumpkin soon - Will be as big as the great round moon.” - And Towser peered o’er the fence so high - With a knowing look in his wise old eye. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - IX - - - When autumn came, the children three, - With books and lunch and noisy glee, - Went off to school, their tasks to learn, - And Towser waited their return. - - And then, so short had grown the day, - They had but little time for play, - But drove the cows, the chickens fed, - Then supper ate and went to bed. - - But Saturdays they viewed their prize, - And, lo, it grew to monstrous size! - And autumn sunbeams shining down - Colored the pumpkin golden brown. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - X - - - Then came October clear and chill, - With frosts that unripe pumpkins kill. - They shivered in their beds so warm - Lest Jack Frost should their pumpkin harm. - - But by and by they all agreed - Their pumpkin now was ripe indeed. - And on the next bright Saturday, - ’Twas warm, and fine for work or play, - - They harnessed Towser to the cart - And for the garden-lot did start. - The pumpkin loaded they with skill, - While Helen held old Towser still. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XI - - - Behold the pumpkin borne in state - Adown the field and toward the gate, - With Helen perched upon its crest, - And Towser doing quite his best! - - No queen upon a gilded throne - More royally than Helen shone; - No steed more proud than Towser bore - A princess to the palace door. - - The cart wheels rumbled o’er the road, - And creaked beneath their heavy load. - The boys cried loudly, “Here we come! - We’re going to haul our pumpkin home!” - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XII - - - “Let dogs delight to bark and bite,” - So Towser thought he had a right - To chase a neighbor’s cur away - Who came intruding that high day. - - He barked, he growled, laid back his ears, - ’Spite Carl’s rebuke and Helen’s fears. - Nell tugged the lines; the boys cried, “Whoa!” - But fiercely on did Towser go! - - The neighbor dog fled like the wind, - And Towser followed hard behind - They struck a stone; out tumbled Nell, - And out the precious pumpkin fell! - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XIII - - - O Doctor Watts, thou didst not right - In telling dogs to bark and bite! - O Towser, thou didst little know - How great the wreck thy wrath would show! - - The man who says that childhood’s woes - Are small, but little childhood knows. - The children wept and scolded sore, - And Towser they would love no more! - - But through their tears like summer rain, - The sun of hope shone out again. - One glad discovery came to light, - “The pumpkin isn’t hurt a mite!” - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XIV - - - What did it matter after that - If Helen’s head and Helen’s hat - Were badly damaged by the fall? - The pumpkin was not harmed at all! - - “Cheer up!” cried Carl. “Nell, do not cry! - It still will make a monstrous pie. - Your hat’s all right. ’Twas pretty old, - And mother, I am sure, won’t scold!” - - They dried their tears and soon did start - To seek their steed and broken cart. - Towser, who waited them hard by, - But wagged his tail and winked his eye! - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XV - - - The cart was broken, harness, too, - But these young folks knew what to do. - The saw and hammer quick they brought, - And all their skill and wisdom sought. - - The wagon was in such a plight, - To mend it took till almost night. - The boys their anger soon forgot, - And Helen, too, the aching spot. - - Towser so penitent appeared, - They did not chide, because they feared - To grieve him. So repose he sought - While they repaired the ill he’d wrought. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XVI - - - At last ’twas done, and Towser stood - Harnessed and vowing to be good. - They rolled it in, and to the door - The pumpkin now with joy they bore! - - Yet Charlie held to Towser’s rein, - Lest he should chase a dog again. - But never horse more faithful proved - Than Towser to the lads he loved. - - And mother met them at the door: - “I never saw the like before!” - Was what she said; and her surprise - Was better than a hundred pies! - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XVII - - - Thanksgiving Day was drawing near - With memories of a happy year. - The children to the woodshed went - And to the axe their backs they bent, - - In golden crescents cut their prize - To make it into pumpkin pies; - Yet saved the seeds to plant next spring, - That these might other pumpkins bring. - - A smaller pumpkin had they still, - And carved it out with wondrous skill. - Made eyes and mouth, put in a light, - A funny lantern ’twas at night! - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XVIII - - - Then mother cooked each golden slice, - And seasoned it with sweet and spice, - And rolled the crust so crisp and thin - To bake the precious pumpkin in. - - The children pressed the table nigh, - Until the oven claimed the pie, - And then with appetites most keen - They scraped the pan and licked it clean. - - Old Towser, who was always there, - Looked up and seemed to want a share. - When their share ended his began, - For after them he licked the pan. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XIX - - - And so Thanksgiving Day came round, - And at the church our children found. - They sat quite still, and did no wrong, - But, oh, that sermon seemed so long! - - The minister to the people read - The words the governor had said, - And told the reasons why, thought he, - They all should very thankful be. - - The children homeward took their way, - Thankful for pumpkin pie that day. - Old Towser shared their homeward pace - With solemn look and Sunday face. - - [Illustration] - - [Illustration] - - - - - XX - - - When half the turkey disappeared, - And all the table had been cleared, - Father and mother said that they - Had had enough to eat that day. - - But all the children said, “Not I! - We’re ready now for pumpkin pie!” - So mother cut them each a slice, - And, bless my heart, but it was nice! - - Fred took a great delicious bite, - And Carl one larger had in sight. - But Helen said, “Towser, come here! - I’ll give you half of mine, you dear!” - - [Illustration] - - - - -CONCLUSION - - - Now you who’ve read this story through - Will know next spring just what to do. - For patience and hard work, you know, - Are needed to make pumpkins grow. - - To raise a pumpkin pie, you need - Some other things than pumpkin seed. - But patience seeds take long to grow, - And now’s the time of year to sow! - - If you begin to practice now, - By spring, I think, you’ll know just how. - And all you learn, I’m glad to tell, - Is good for other things as well. - - If all you children do your best, - Mother will gladly do the rest. - And when Thanksgiving Day draws nigh - I hope you’ll get your pumpkin pie. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE STORY OF A PUMPKIN PIE *** - -***** This file should be named 64122-0.txt or 64122-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - https://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/1/2/64122/ - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone.
