the county for the purpose Of raising finds to
reimburse Mr.. ii. S. Simmons for his expenses
in contesting the risht-of-way with Mr.. Cutler,
in grading the r., S. & A. v. railroad through
TO the north line Of the county. Mr.. Simmons
not only refused good price for his land. but
at his own expense instituted proceedings for
an Injunction restraining the company from
grading, simply because he knew the job was
fraud. As the whole county was interested
in having the work stopped, it is no more than
right that others should bear portion Of the
expense.

which is put there by his loving wife to remind
him Of certain household comforts which are
to be purchased. This has worked well enough
until lately, but is now becoming an old piac-
tice and is not likely to have the desired effect.
A day or 20 ago he sat Down on a dry goods
box, looked in:ently at the string. pondered
long and well over its significance, going
through the entire list Of dry goods, groceries,
queensware, hats and caps, boots and shoes.
Memory refused to recall the" wifely "injunc-
ton. Distress made him dry. A drink mud
died his brain another and another he took
in quick succession. While objects seemed
whirlins about and chasing each other through
his brain, his eye fell upon that string again.
Rubbing his eyes he studied oyer It's meaning
once more. Slowly the fog arose, and with
a smile overspreading his countenanee, Wills
pc-cd, ~ have it. that string stands for a
drink is it for my wifeor for myself?' After
sobriety set i'm our Lero ruthlcssly tore the
string from its usual resting place. satisfied
if it remained that the worst form Of deliriun
tremens awaited him.
