A Ride for Life,

A TRUE STORY by ELIZABETH STUART
PIIELPS.
How long ago ! cannot tell-but long
enough for two little boys to have grown
into two great men, and you can judge
how long that must be as well aS T.
there lived in a gcntlcman's family IN
England pretty hOusemaid and an hon.
est Young coachman, and in course OF
time-how much time or how little |
cannot say, for this is matter in which
it is not so easy to judge OF tlme--thc
housemaid and the coachman fell in love.
II was very foolish thing to do, OF
cour.e; but people do foolish things in
this world occasionally, even 50 foolish As
that, and don't know any better way
than for wise people, like you and me,
TO look on and say, "l'm so glad it was
not | !" and then walk of.
The cOachman's name, by the way,
was John, and the housemaid they called
Susan.
50 one day, when Susan was standing
in the gardep door with clean white
apron on. and a cruel pink ribbon in hen
hair, John came by with the silver
handled whip in his hand, which he wa
going to polish up. He said: Susan,
don't like these goingson with the but
Ter, and that's the truth"
Susan said, just turning her head Sc
that the unkindest bow in that merciIcs
little pink ribbon shown like star il
her beautiful hair "And what if dc
take walk with the butler of an even
ing when | like? II amt any man
business, John Jacobs." "
al don't know as it is, said John, re-
ncctivcly it had never struck him in
that light before. He wished it were hi'
business with all his heart, but he
wouldn't say so; and Susan wished the
same, YOU may he sure, but she couldn't
saw so: 50 he went away to the great
coach house with his whip, and Susar
sat down on the steps with her thought,
And so, pretty soon, when the honc-
coachman came back, the pretty house
maid was crying.
Said John: Why, Susan"
Said Susan: "G-g-go away
Said John: " You don't mean rs yOl
cared because | was cross TO you?
Sobbed Susan: Id-d-don't know-ow,
said John: "Susan, will you have
me?"
Said Susan Yes, I will"
Now Pm not going to write you lOvt
story. because don't believe the edito
would think that was proper; but ha'
to tell you about John and Susan, becaus,
that was the beginning of everything
and as love story is the beginning o
everything, perhaps the editor will eX
cusc us this.
The long and short of it is that tn
honest coachman and the pretty house
maid were married.
At least, that's the short Of it; tina
generally is the short Of it; the long 0
it comes afterwards.
The long of it came to John an
Susan when their children came. Tw

their names were Titus and Tam OShan

to walk across the kitchen to the moIasse
iug on their own feet, dear me bless 1t
there was another!
"But she's a girl" said John, an
won't cost 50 much"
For John had just reached that de
perate point in young mans life whe
he first begins to suspect that it COS
five times as much to support five peop

THERE was general impression among
agriculturists in the southeastern por-
tion of Missouri early in the season that
cotton could be successfully and profitably
grown in that region. These anticipa-
tions, however, do not appear to have
been fully realized, at least we judge by
the statement in the Stoddard County
Messenger, giving the cost of cultivating
twelve acres of cotton in that district
thus: "LabOr of one man for four
months, with board, 800; horse and feed,
$40; picking 1900 pounds per acre, at
lc pound, s2l6-total cost, 1896. The
product, it says, will be half a bale to the
acre, or 6 bales for the IL acres. Esti.
mating 500 pounds to the bale, at lie
pound, the proceeds will be $3.50, or soc
less than cost.

credited with inventing new substitute
for speech. She visited the Sorosis the
other day and was formally presented to
the club by the president as the "most
successful woman author in America"
and being on her feet, told little story.
She said at Vassar college the girls, as
usual, asked for speech, and when she
also, as usual, told them she never had
and never intended to make one, they
requested that she would place herself in
a prominent position and turn around
slowly. This she consented to do, and i
revolving would satisfy or crafty Sorosis
she was willing to "revolve."

A NEGRO boy in Fairfield county, S. G.,
was packed up in a bale of cotton last
week The deceased was engaged in
packing cotton at Mr.. James Jones press.
About half bale had been tramped
down, and the other hands went for more
cotton, the deceased being ordered in the
meanwhile to drive out some cattle. On
the return of the hands the boy was not
to be seen. The balance of the cotton
was put in and trampled but slightly,
the bale being light. The bale was then
packed. On removing it the negro was
found dead in the middle of the bale. II
is supposed the boy entered the box and
had gone to sleep and was sufocated.

A DESTRUCTIVE fire, supposed to have
been kindIed by accident, broke out in
Forest City, Ark, about o'clock on
Sunday morning last. Five buildings
with their contents were totally destroyed
and several others sustained more or less
injury. A high wind blew at the time,
which contributed to prevent the quench-
ing of the flames. The value of the
property destroyed will sum up nearly
$4,000, on which the only insurance was
a risk of $4,000.
