an mnibus that ran to the city limits.
Afterward, they walked on toward
the open prairie, broakfasting rs they
wont, and adding to their stores a
turnip and couple of tomatoes that
had joltcd from somo laden market
wagon. Miles after miles of market
gardens, whore women and children
were hoeing and wedding and gath
ering vegetables. They stopped at
one house and asked for water, and q
woman in brown stuff petticoat and
white short gown offered them some
milk in d big yellow bowl, and u
piece of black bread. A boy was
washing loug yellow carrots by the
pump. Tip bit one, and liked it.
Tip was always hungry. Then they
wont on, and by and bye came to the
end of the gardens. There were
great stubbly fields and a stack of
yellow straw. They sat down by this
stack to rest, and then Top thought
of the pipes. The men whom he
knew always smoked when they
rested at noon, and 50 he and Tip
tried it. They had tried it before
with ends Of cigars they had picked
mp, and once Top had bought a
new cigar, a fifteen center, and
smoked it all, though it made him
tearfully sick. The pipes did 10;

In the morning there were only a
herring and tN very dry buns for
bI kt"sI; but the partners had seen
much smaller rations than that in
iheir day. They asked for water
again when they came to q house, but
the old lady who oponed the door
must Lave been deaf She only
shock her head and shoo-ed thcm
away as if they had been t"o stray
chickens. Next time they had bet

rosy red cheeks gave them Il big bas

was full she brought thom each q
thick slice of bread and butter and
a great puffy brown doughnuf. AZ

"Well,' said Tip, 'sccms to be loEe

Now that the farm was located, the
next thing to be done was to build a
house. Never did the Western en-
igrants find things moro convenient,
for near the roadside lay a pile ol
rails that had once been fence about

to the woods, and proceeded to bniId

might as we'll have had no partner at
all, Top was frightened, but he did't
give it up. He shook tip and slap
ped him on the back; he even light
cd pipo and blew tobacco smoke in
his face, all of which remedies he
had seen used with success, though
not upon people who had fallen ont
of tree. After a while, Tip begun to
breathe again in jerky fashion, and
then he got strengthh enough to
groan dismally.

Top managed to drag his unIucky
partner into the hut; but the bed was
anything bat luxurious, and Tip was
no hero to suffer in silence.
Is it as bad as whalin?' asked
Top, meaning to be sympathizing.
'Wuss,' groaned Tip, but after all
tho suggestion had some comfort in
it.
Tip said his partner, presently,

Top wonld have cried if he had
known how, but just then mau
coming down the wood road stopped
a moment to look and listen, and
hen strobe up to the queer little hut,
SAY ing:

'Wc're pardners, and we've took

man looked at the pair Of bcggars
and laughed in fashion that threat
ened to bring the rails down over his
head.
'Well, well,' lie said at last wiping
his eyes on his shirt sleeve, IF that

Then he sobered down little, and
felt of Tips bones-and, in fact Tip

they turned into a green lane and
came to the back door of house.

Things were mixed mp after that

In the end, the partners concluded
to give up the farm; but the man who
had befriended them gave them both
work for few weeks, and when one

very grand.

IT'S not the man who covers, and shrinks,
At fortunes frown,
And plaintively cries, "Lend hand, lend hand
Don't you see | am DOWN.
Lend hand, brother, and help me 10 Get
Upon my feet
To give is better than to receive,
And sympathy is sweet
The man who calls for aid from others,
And fails to be
His own sbest man" ia time OF need,
Is not the man for me.
Ills not the man who strives to drowa
Fancied troubles
Even misfortune's real care or loss,
In whlskey bubbles
Who says, "would could leave this vile habit,
It's killing me,
But it is so hard to deny ones self
Don't you see"
The man who says with dolorous whine,
"No ease see,
My row is very hard to hoe"
Is not the man for me.
Give me the man that Is good, aud true,
In every place.
A cool, clear head, "a large, warm heart,
kindly race;
In temper gentle but firm, and brave
without conceit,
Able aud willing, if fortune frowns,
Life's ills TO meet.
Who cheerfully says when adversely comes,
"These things must be-"
And meets the storm with an undaunted heart,
All that's the man for me.
The man who hates falsehood and vice,
Wherever found,
With intellect bright, and self control,
And jud ymea' sound,
With lips too pure to breathe in oatfs,
His Makers name;
With sense to prize strong, true heart
More than fame.
Generous, and 'true as steel'' to his friends,
And dares to be
True to his God, and to himself
Ali that's the man for me.
