The other some very nice canned peaches were on the table for supper, and they made all sorts of guesses as to what sort of fruit it was. Jim Keeler thought they were plums; Will Carson thought they were tomatoes; Cliff. Bailey, ate Ihem for gooseberries; Woodruff didn't care particularly about the name Al Arthur thought they were good cranberries; others had various names for them, while Will Stewart got away with them for pickled eggs." And that all happened because tho peaches were red instead of white or yellow. They never would have found out what they if the editor of this paper hadn't taken pity on the boys and got Mrs.
