BIG WORDS AND GOOD HOUSE.
KEEPING.
A little woman with a tear trembl-
ing on the end of her nose has been
walking up and down the hall for ten
minutes, and as the last visitor depart
ed she entered the parlor where Bijah
superintends the operations of justice,
sank into the rocking chair and timid-
ly asked: .
"Mr. Joy, can trust you?''
Madam, you can !" he promptly
replied. "I don't like to hear n man
praise himself, but 1 believe 1 eau go
to any grocery in Detroit and get trust
ed for one dozen clothes pins without
having to leave any security whatev-
er. 1 now have in my possession 25
cents which were handed to me by q
street car driver to buy him some tint
ed note paper, and if 1 embezzled one
cent of it 1 hope to be bald headed all
my days. Yes, madam, you can trust
me,'
"I-I was married about three years
ago." began the woman, after con-
siderable hesitation.
Don't doubt it in the least, madam,
and suppose it was case of love ?"
cit seemed so. My husband SEEM
ed to think everything of me, and I
know / almost wOrshipcd him. We
were very, very happy until year

Yes, suppose SO, madame. AS

CoURrING IN THE NORTHWEST


big whiteoak rocking-chair. A long
cared deer-hound, swapping at flies,
was by his side; a basket of sewing by
hers. Both rocked incessantly,-that
is the young people,-not the dog or
basket. He sighed heavily, and look
ed out of the west window at Grape
myrtle tree; she sighs lightly, and
gazed out the east window-at a tur-
nip-patch. At last he remarked:
"This is mighty good weather to
pick cotton"
"'Tis that,-if we only had any to
pick" s..-.
The rocking continues.
"What's your dogs name?"
"Coony." as
Another sigh broken stiffness,
What is he good fur ?"
"What is who good fur ?" said she,
abstractedly.
Your dog, Coony."
Fur ketchin' 'possums."
Silence of half an hour.
He looks like a deer dog"
"Who looks like deer dag ?"
Coony.' -
"He is-but he's kinder beloved,
and gettin' old and slow now. AM he
ain't no count on a cold trail"
In the quiet ten minutes that ensu-
ed she took two stitches in her quilt !;
it was gorgeous affair, that quilt was,
from the pattern called Rose of Shar-
on" She is very particular about the
nomenclature of her quilt, and fire.
quently walks fifteen miles to get Il
new pattern with "real purity name. +"
"Your ma raisin' many chickens ?"
Forty-odd."
Then more rocking, and somehow,
after a while, the big rocking-chair and
the little rocking-chair were jammed
side by side. I don't know how it
happened. It may have been caused
by some popularity in the floor, or by
the natural magnetic attraction one
chair had for the other; but, strange to
say, the basket of work had followed
the little chair, and the little chair had
travelled as fast as the big one. Coony
had not moved. He lay in the same
place, sound asleep, and lie was talk
ing in his sleep, that is, giving faint,
irregular barks at the 'posssslms he be-
held in his dreams. After awhile the
conversation was resumed:
How many has your ma got 2"
How many what ?"
Chickens"
Nigh on to a hundred"
By this time the chairs were SO close
together that rocking was impossible.
The mink has eat most of ours"
Then 4 long silence ensues. At last
he observes:
Maxim quilts ?"
"Yes," she replies, Frightening up,
"I've just finished Roarin' Eagul
of Brszeel,' 'Sittin' Sum- and a Ma
tion's PRIDE Have you ever saw the
Yellow Rose on the Parary p"
"NO."
More silence, then he says:
Do you like cabbage ?,'
"I do that"
Presently his hand is accidently
placed on hers. She does not know il
-or at least does not seem to be aware
of it. Then, after half hour spent in
signing, coughing, and clearing o
throats, he says:
I've great mind to bite you."
What you great a mind to bite mt
fur?n
Kase you won't have me-"
Kase you amt aXed me-"
Well, now I AK you."
"Then, now has YOU"
Then Coony dreams he hears sound
of kissing.
Then the next day the young man
goes to Tigerville after II marriage Ii
cense. Wednesday the following week.
No cards.

have. This is the policy which has won
for this newspaper the confidence and
friendship Of u larger constituency than
was ever enjoyed by any other American
Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the PEG.
