Brother Gardner on Family Government.

Las night, jist as de ole woman was
grindin' up de butcher-knife to cut her
corns, dar cum q knock on de doah, -
began the President of the Limekiln
Club as Paradise Hall grew quiet. 1T
war de ole man Mosher, an I could see
right away dat he didn't feel in whoop-
in speerits. I reckon you all knows
de ole man, an you knows he am hard
workin' an honest. Well, he was ober
der to see about his son Hunyadus.
Dat Hunyadus am powerful bad boy
an I knows it, an de ole man he sot
down an tole me dat de day had arrove
when he could no longer control de
boy. Yes, he sot dar on de aige of de
wood-box an cried like q chile cause
dat Hunyadus had cum home an cussed
aroan', an axed fur money, an declar'd
he'd bust de hull family or hev it. I
axed him how ole de boy war, an he
wiped his nose an said 16. axed him
how much de boy weighed, an he
looked up at de ceiin' an said about
100. Den pushed de tearkettle furder
back on de stove an went for de ole
man like steamboat 'sploshun'. De
ideah Of boy like dat runnin' de house
made me mad all de way up an down,
an I told Mosher if he didn't 60 hum
an flop dat Hunyadus outer his butes
and den mop him aroun' till he cried
quits, dat he must neber darken my
gate agin. He got up an he went, an
I was clus behind him. Dat boy was
still in de house, blufn' de ole woman
roun' and kickin' the dog under de
stove, an de opportunity was ali dat
could he axed fur. De ole man bounced
in, waltzed up to de wayward chile, an
de way he made de fur fly tickled me- all
ober. When left de winder Hunyar
tlus war wipin' de tears away wild one
ham an eatin' col pancakes Wild de
odder, an de ole man had such smile
as haven't seen on his face for ober
seven years." After the applause had
subsidized, the President continued {:
"Treat your boys kindly an like q
good ladder should, but, when son
gifts de big head an emagines dat he
kin run de caboose widout help from
de ole folks, an dat he am master OBJ
his days an nights, set right down on

Keep poultry IN good warm quarters
in winter, there is nothing that pays bet

IN the poultry house will assist greatly
in this. Thus you may with little care
have fresh eggs to sell to special custo-
mers when really fresh are scarce, and
put money IN your pocket. The differ
ence in the cost Of eggs produced in win
ter, when 30 to IS cents per dozen may
be had is mere bagatelle in comparison
with the return. All there is to it is q
little outlay of money, and the exercise
of a little business tact. The time to
prepare for it is now.

"ThAt's Johns Gun!~


At the battle OF Blue Iicks, in 1882,
the Kentuckians were defeated, with
great slaughter, by the Indians. Among
their captives was citizen of Mercer
county, husband and father. He and
eleven others we're painted black, a sign
that they were devoted to torture and
death. Ranging them in a row on q
log, the Indians slaughtered the eleven
one by one. When they came to the
husband they paused, and, after great
pow-wow, spared his life.
For 8 year he remained a captive,
mourned by his friends as dead. But
his wife insisted that he was alive and
would yet return to her. A lover wooed
her. Her relatives aided his wooing.
She consented to marry him, but from
time to time postponed the wedding
day. She could not, she said, rid her
self of the belief that her husband was
living and would yet return.
At last, the pleadings of her lover and
the expostulations of her friends won
from her reluctant consent to be mar
ried on certain day. On it's morning,
just before daylight, she heard the
crack of rifle.
"That's Johns gun!" she cried; and,
running from her cabin, in a moment
was clasped in her husbands arms. But
the romance did not end with the hus-
bands return. Nine years after he fell
in est. Clair's defeat" The disappoint-
ed loveryenewed bis suit, and the widow,
at last, became his wife.
