Brown and Jones used to be (rends-rrnl
good lrienns--but there is chasm between
them now. Jones' didn't know of it until
Brown bad pissed between him several
times without sa.uting, aud then he deter
mined to know what was wrong Hating
him on the street, he began.
See here, Brown, what's come over you
all of a sudden?
Sirl replied Brown, with freezing dignity,
as he drew himself "a? an extra inch.
What have said or done To break our
iriendship9 continued Jones.
Mr. Jones. you are not the sort offs man
supposed YOU to be, answered Brown.
In Whist respect?
Sir you were a delegate TO our county
convention?
Yes, was.
For the past seven years YOU have pro-
lessed to be my friend, politically and other
wise?
So l have-so have.
Do yuu remember, sir, Of our having
talk about a week before the convention?
Do you remember that said-that isl
hinted-that il
Oh, yes, you said that perhaps you could
be induced TO accept the nomination Of
County Treasurer.
Yes, sir. said that was in the hands
of my friends.
remember it now.
And didn't get a vote, sir-not even a
complimentary vote
No guess you didn't, and now you blame
me for il. Alas Brown how little you
know about our local politics. Why sir,
every man who attended a ward caucus over
three times knows that when candidate
puts himself in the hands of his friends they
at once prooeed to hold funeral aud bury
the remains ten feet deep.
Jones made a motion as ito shake hands
aud forgive all, but suddenly changed bis
mind aud walked on, carefully placing each
heel with a thud aud keeping his spinol
column hs stitT as poker.

Another View of IreIand's Famine.

William J. Elliott, superintendent Of
the State printing, and former editor OF
the Irish Citizen, having just returned
from visit of two or three months III
Ireland, a reporter of the Cincinnati
Commercial found him at the Gibson
House, and in the interview which fol-
lowed Mr.. Elliott said, after a question
about starvation in Ireland:
Starving be that's just all that peo-
pie in this country know about it. There
is little corner in Connaught where the
potato crop ran short and the poor people
were not able to buy their seed. In one
OF two other little spots the crops ran
short, too, but it was confined almost
wholly to- one corner of Oonnaught and
the Islands. On the islands it would not
have been so bad if the fshermen's nets
were not played out, and the reduced
crops left them short of means to repair
them. A little local help would carry
them through their trouble very easy,
but there was no local help offered. The
meanest feature about all the short crops
and appeals for help in Ireland is that
none of the wealthy people offered
penny themselves for relief. They sit
back in their chairs and appeal to Ameri-
ca and Australia"
''Well, America an Australia have
ponied up well, have they not?"
''Ishould say they have. The Bennett
subscription realized over $3.50, 900; the
agitators and landleague subscriptions
realized an equal amount, and those OF
the Duchess of Marlborough and the
Mansion house realized each $500, 000
That's 81, 500,0 900 raised outside of Ire
land when there was no necessity for
raising cent.
"But is nothing raised in Ireland for
the relief of the poor?"
'tNot penny, and there are people
there much more able to subscribe than
those who subscribed here, and the fact
of the matter is the bulk of the substrip-
lions here came from people as little able
to contribute as are the supposed suffer
ers themselves You would be surprised
Ireland. I asked some of them whether
any money had been subscribed in Ire
land They answered, Certainly not. ;
'Why?' I asked. They generally an
swered: Because America is big,
wealthy and growing country, and no
body would feel it. Besides that, it
brings money here. Those fellows never
subscribe for anything. The big cathe-
drals and everything else are built by
foreign subscription. - Cincinnati Com

The GrindstAna of Life.

Turning grindstones to grind scythes
is one of those heroic but l1nobtrusive
occupations for which one gets no credit
It is a hopeless kind Of task, and, how
ever faithfully the crank is turned, is
one that brings little reputation. There
is great deal Of poetry about haying--
/ mean for those not engaged in it. One
likes to hear the whetting of the scythe
on fresh morning and the response of
the noisy bobolink; who sits upon the
fence and superintends the cutting of
the dew-laden grass. There is a sort Of
music in the ''swish' and a rhythm in
the swing of the scythes ineoncert. ~ =
But if the scythes cut well and swing
merrily it is due to the boy who turned
the grindstote For my part I used to
like. the grindstone that ''wabbled" a
good deal on its axis, for when turned
it fast it put the grinder on a lively look
out for cutting his hands, and entirely
satisfied his desire that ] should ''turn
faster fused towish sometimes that
Icould turn fast enough to make the
stone fly into a dozen pieces. : <
This is one Of the disagreeable tasks Of
the boy farmer, and hard as it is I do not
know why it is supposed to belong es4
pecially to childhood But it is, and one
of the certain marks that second child
hood has come to a man on a farm is
that he is asked to turn the grindstone
as if he were boy again. When theold
man is good for. nothing else, when he
can neither NOV nor pitch and scarcely
''rake after" he can turn grindstone,
and in this way he renews his youth
