every bundle in your basketr' said
Aunt Janet. who was thinking fast and
furiOuslY, and mentally vowing that, if
this living lesson of content and humility
being thrust, so to speak, in her brother s
very face. should fail to open his eyes to
his own state, then there was no hope
for him.
Mr.. Storm was thinking to better
purpose than Aunt Janet was giving him
credit for or was willing to.
That very content, one of 'Lizbeth' 8
chief virtues, so manifest in every word
she spoke, in every smile that lowered
about the tender lips, in the bright, even
tones of her voice. Content with toll
and privation, that needed no word of
hers to confirm. and grateful even for
the sunshine, the birds. and the flowers,
touched the mans real heart, that, after
all, lay snug and warm, Ga little warped,
true, by too much prosperity under the
rubbish that selishness had piled high
touched him. we say. as no loudly-spoken
reproof could have done.
''Have YOU always lived over yon-
der"' questioned Nettie, who had sober
ed while listening to 'Liz'beth's story,
and quite forgetting her queer shoes.
30! no. Miss. We used to live two
miles further down; but Auntie thought.
if we moved up here, I could sell More
wood, because of there being so many
big houses up this way, You know"
Liz beth looked around her audience
% smilingly, it should have induced
some one to believe that selling '.fat-
wood was one of the most delightful
occupations in the world.
There is another thing I am glad we
moved over wonder for" she added.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1882-05-26

PRAYERS were answered, and the great,
unselfish hope of 'Liz'b eth's life was
gratifed.
Ibid Liz beth live alone after that in
the old house and sell .fat-wood?'"
o, no! and we can do no better now
than leave the past, skipping over to the
present, gathering up link or two of
the intervening years from no less per-
sonage than Aunt Janet herself.
That is my Liz beth over yonder,"
she said to us; but we cannot convey
through pen and paper the pride accom-
panying the words.
We looked curiously, for the facts re-
gar,ling LIB beth had interested us
strangely; and lower down the beach we
saw q slender. white-robed figure, to
whose hand lad of six was clinging,
fearful of the waves dashing and foam
ing at their feet.
For 8 moment the face was turned
toward US, and we saw crown of gold
en- hair, a gentle, placid face, where .
tender smile seemed forever lowering,
and then we lost sight of both mother and
child in the surging crowd.
THAT is Liz beth, God bless herr
continued Aunt Janet. g l adopted her
and l bless the day I did it. A power
of good she did US all; but, as patient,
and content, and unselfish as her child
hood was, her womanhood has exceeded
it all.-Ludependent.

Our market is well supplied with fruit.
Grapes and apples seem to predominant just

sold here come from without the State. Cali

Flaming Tokas seem to be the favorite vsri-

New York State, and retail at 20 cents. The
Concords are plentier than ever before. very

come now in baskets packed in crates. after

shipped to the cities every day; but this week
will about use them up. The Malagas, which
come packed in ground cork fin1 ready sale
al 25 cents. but are more sought after as the
season advances and other kinds have disap-
peared. Many good looking grapes are raised
in kennebec county but they lack the sweet,
luscious flavor which comes from the perfec,
ripening in milder climate, and are used
mostly for preserving. The apple crop in
Maine this wear will not be SO large as usual
In the great apple growing towns in kennebec
county, where the limbs of the trees were
bowed TO the ground last year beneath the
burden of fruit. the yield is irifling; but in
Sidney and some other towns the crop is large.
The Summer Sweetings were never better,
and the Porters are very fine, also the Frank
lin and Pound sweets. They bring about
So 90 barrel, or so cents peck. Winter
fruit promises well, hut there is no fixed
price as yet. The plum crop was almost
total failure, damsons bringing as high as Sl0
bushel in Boston A very small crop OF
pears was raised. This fruit has been worth
from 50 90 to $50 bushel in Boston.
Peaches are about gone, but were very plenty
during August and September. Barberries
are growing popular for preserves
They fetch 10 cents Il quart Ounces

lemons from Florida are the latest arrivals
They are more juicy than the Mcssina fruit
and have fair, thick peel. They promise
to become as popular as the oranges from the
State of balm and flowers. New figs sell for
80 cents a pound. and will not be as cheap
and plenty as last year. New dates will
arrive next week, when We may also look
for chestnuts.

The approach of cool weather is a forcible
reminder Of the need of plenty of warm
clothing, and one of the things gentlemen
have to be thankful for is that so great an
improvement has been made in the manufac-
ture of the same, that they can step into a
ready-made clothing store and select such
garments as they may wish, made and
trimmed in first class manner, without the
trouble OF delay of hiring them made to order,
and at great saving in cost for the same
quality. As usual, +. L. Davis & Co. are on
