Omaha daily bee., 1888-05-20

tor and me was watchin' her, and she
says to me: Henry Says she, I've got
a chance to rest, and she put one tired,
WORKOUT hand OF top of the other tired,
WORKOUT hand, and l knew she had gone
where they don't work all day and do
chores all night.
II took time to kiss her then. I'd
been too busy for a good while previous
to do that and then / called in the boys.
After the funeral it was too much for
them to stay around and eat the kind of
cookin' we had to put up with, and mo-
body spoke up around the house as we
used to. The boys quit whistlin' around
the barn and talked kind of low by
themselves about goin' to town and
gituin'a job.
They're all gone now. and the snow
is four feet deep on mothers grave up
there in the old berryin' ground.n
Then both of us looked out of the car
window quite a long time without say
ing anything.
81 don't blame the boys for going into
something else, longs other things pays
better: and / say-and l say what I
knOw-that the man who holds the
prosperity of this country in his hands,
the man that actually makes money for
other people to spend, the man that eats
three good, simple square meals a day

he is the mar that gets left at last to
run his farm with nobody to help him
but a hired man and a high protective
tariff. The farms in our state are
%mortgaged for over 800, 000. 600. Ten
OF our wester n s~tates,I see blythe papers
have got about SO SOC, 0OO, 900 mortgages
on their farms. The government is
rich, but the men that made it, the
men that fought prairie fires and prairie
wolves and Indians and potato
paid the war debt, and pen
sions and everything else and hollered
for the union and republican party and
high tariff and anything else hat they
was told to, is left high and dry this
cold winter with Il mortgage Of 81, 800
600 900 on the farms they have earned
and saved n thousand times over.n
Eyes, but look at the glory of sending
from the farm the future president, tho
future senator and the future member
of congress-"
THAT looks we'll on paper, but what
does it really amount to? Soon as a
farmer boy gets in a place like that he
forgets the soil that produced him, and
holds his head as high as a hollyhock.
He bellers fer protection to everybody
but the farmer, and while he sails
around in a highty-tighty room with q
fire in it night and day, his father ON
the farm has to kindle his own fire in
the morning with elm ~slivers, and wear
his lawn-tennis suit next TO HIM or
freeze to death, and he has to milk in
an old gray shawl that has held thai
member Of congress when he was a
baby, by CORY! and the old lady has TO
~soiourn through the winter in the han-
nels that Silas wore at the riggatter be-
fore he went to congress.
$50 say, and think that congress
agrees, with me, dam a farmer, any
how"
He then went away. BILL NYE.
One Reuben Carey has been living for
some years near Goodrich, Genesee county,
with a woman supposed 10 be his wife.
George AlcotJ and Carey quarreled about the
woman and finally fought for her. The new
man won. Then he and the woman were
regularly married, but this did not please the
people of the vicinity at all, and they
gathered at the house OF the happy pair, and,
calling Mr.. Alcott out, administered 10 MIN q
dose of tar and feathers and advice to get
out Of that country. They both got out
