Ye Olden Days.

Thirty years ago Michigan people were a
frank and truthful set. Strangers could come
here and trade horses with their eyes shut,
and breach Of promise cases were unknown.
Folks meant what they said, and when they
gave their word stuck to it,
Exactly thirty years ago this month a
widower from New York State appeared in
Lansing on business That same business
carried him over to Dewitt, eight miles away,
While en- route he stopped at a log farm
house to warm his cold fingers. He was
warmly welcomed by the pioneer and his
wife. both of whom were well along in years,
and after some general talk, the woman
queried:
Am I right in thinking you widower:"
"Did you come out here to find wife?'
partly"
did anybody tell you ofour SUSIE"
"No."
"Well, we've got as bouncing girl of 90
as you ever set eyes on. She's good look
ing healthy and good tempered, and think
she'll like your looks"
"Where is she?"
"Over in the woods, here, chopping down
a coon-tree Shall blow the horn for her"
mo. Ifyou'll keep an eye on my horse
I'll find her"
''Well, there's nothing stuck up or affected
about Susie: She'll say yes or no as soon rs
she looks you over. Ii you want her. don't
be afraid to say So"
The stranger heard the sound of her axe
and followed it. He found her just as the
tree was ready TO fall She was stout,
good-looking girl, swinging the like a man,
and in two minutes he had decided to say;
"Susie, I'm widower from New York
State; Pm 80 years, have one child, own q
good farm, and want wife Will you go
back home with me?"
She leaned on the axe and looked at him
for half n minute, and then replied:
Cant say for certain. Just wait till Igit
these coons off my mind"
She sent the tree crashing to the earth and
with his help killed five coons, which were
slowed away in hollow.
"Well, what do you sayw he asked as the
last coon stopped kicking.
Pm yourn!' was the reply; "and by the
time you get back from Dewitt I'll have these
pelts off and tackled up and be ready for the
preacher
He returned to the house, told the old folks
that he should bring preacher back with
him, and at dusk that evening the twain
were married. Hardly an hour had been
wasted in courting and yet he took home
one of the best girls in the State of Michigan.

l stood a minute in silence.

bbOUu u Hlluutt Ill
Lie still, Bertie," said /, in voice that
sounded strange and husky even to myself
81 will 60 and bring her back" Ia
And thought with dismay of the binding
snow. storm outside, the treacherous gorges
which lay between here and the White Black
bird, the trackless woods, through which it
was difficult enough to find ones way even
in the sunshine of MONDAY, and-worst ofall
the lonely track, across which an "express"
shot like n meteor at n few minutes before
midnight. Oh heaven what possible doom
might not have brought upon myself by the
wretched passion in which had gone away
that morning.
The town clock, sounding dim and muff1ed
through the storm, struck eleven as hurried
down the hill Eleven-and who knew
what length of time might elapse before l
could find her? And like a fiery phantas-
magoria before my minds eye, beheld the
wild rush ofthe midnight express, and dread
realize was that the storm was growing ferc-
err with every moment, and Polly and the
baby were out in its furSl l. 81. +,
As steadily MS | could / worked my way
down toward the track, but more than once
l became bewildered, and had to stop and re-
fleet before | could resume my quest. And
when, at length, | came out close to a ruined
wood and water station on the edge of the
track, knew that | was full halfa mile be-
low the White Blackbird
And in the distance heard the long slrill
shrek of the midnight train
Some one else had heard it, too, for as /
stood thus, Isaw, family visible through the
binding snow, shadowy figure issue from
the ruined shed and come out upon the track,
looking with bewildered, uncertain air up
and down-the form of Polly, my wife, with
the little baby in her arms
| hurried down to her rs fast as the rapidly
increasing snow-drifts would let me, but l
was only just in time to drag her from the
place OF peril, and stand, breathlessly hold
ing her back, while the fiery-eyed monster of
steam swept by with rush and rattle that
nearly took our breath away!
"Polly !" | cried, Polly speak to mel
She turned her wandering gaze toward me,
with her vague eyes that seemed scarcely to
recognize me.
Have you seen my husband ?" said She
"One Jacob Cotterel, brakeman on the local
expressg"
Polly! little woman don't you know
me ?" gasped
And thought, perhaps" she added, va
cantly, 'you might have met him. It's very
cold here, and-and-"
And then she tainted IN my arms.
The long, long brain fever that followed
was a sort of death. There was time when
they told me she never would know me again,
but, thank God, she did. She recovered at
last. And since that night l never have
tasted drop of liquor, and, please heaven,
never will again. The baby, bless its dear
little heart, wasn't harmed at all. 1t lay
snug and warm on its mothers breast all the
while But if hadn't happened to be close
by them at that instant the night express
would have ground them into powder!
And the white stripe came into my hair
upon the night of that fearful snow storm
That's how it happened, sir.

Origin of the Fultz Wheat.

The place where the Fultz wheat original
| ed is in Miffiin county, Pa, and it takes its
| name from its discoverer, Abram Fultz, of
Allenvllle. How it was discovered Is relat-
| ed by Mr.. Fultz himself in the following let
ter, written more than year ago in reply to
some inquiries on the subject:
ALLENvILLE, Aug. @, 1879.
Mr.. John Swartzell:
Dear Sir-I received your letter yesterday.
| In regard to that wheat it is now nineteen
years since | first discovered It, | found il
in one of Christian Yoder's wheat fields,
where was harvesting. In low place
where the wheat was lodged. l saw three
stalks standing upright, and because they
stood up straight, Is the reason why noticed
them. With my pocketknife l cut off the
tops of those three stalks and stuck them in
my hat When Mr.. Yoder came around I
showed them to him and asked whether
might have them he said Ishould take them.
told him that intended to raise new kind
of wheat from these heads, / took them home
and put them away until seed time, and then
sowed the wheat from these heads Oh spot
of ground where l had burned brush hnap.
The next year this yielded nearly pint of
clean wheat. | sowed this again and the
next season | had nearly q peck of clean
wheat: this time l attempted 20 drill it in,
but the drill did not SOW it thick enough, and
by the next harvest saw that this was mix
ed with other wheat, and was obliged to as
sort it, assorted only part of it, and kept
that by itself That seed time / had enough
to have it drilled in. The next season l had
enough to have some of this wheat ground
into flour; that was before any person got of
it for seed l offered Mr. Yoder three bushels
oft in exchange for other wheat, but he re-
fused the offer. After other persons got oft
and tried IL then Mr. YOder eycbanued fbree
bushels with me. The foregoing statement Is
as nearly correct as can give it from memory
Very respectfully.
