"My friend, you are way of. The

be proud of your wife's looks"
"Do you mean it?"
Certainly. There are not ten as
handsome women in Detroit"
"Shoo !"
"It's a fact, and the work is that of
a real artist. You should be more

"Well. l declare! have been too

Good farmer Thistlepod sat in his
farmhouse on the prairie wide. The
shadows of evening were falling silent
ly over the shingled roof. There was
a crashing sound like burst of sar-
castle laughter in Congress. A per-
son, stranger to Farmer Thistlepod
and family, came through the roof
without the formality of an introduc-
ton, disturbing the ceiling on his way
through, and falling upon the dog,
killed it instantly. Farmer Thistle
pod looked up and said in a tone OF
interest
"Where from, stranger 7"
The stranger rose to his feet, and
apologizing for his disheveled condi-
ton and the plastering on his coat,
said he was from Sac county.
Expect any more of your folks
along putty soon"
The stranger reckoned not; good
many started when he did, but they
mostly went in different directions.
Did bring part of his wagon along
but left it in the barnyard. Reckon
ed he'd stay all night. Farmer This
tlepod allowed he could. They want
very much crowded this time of the
year. Couple of fellows from Mis-
souri, came down the chimney last
Sunday night, and horse and wag-
on slid into the smoke-house middle
of the week, but cyclone travel was
mostly over with for this year. Bring
much of your farm with you?
The stranger reckoned he only
started with twenty acres of timber
land and the barn. The barn drop
ped into the crick, but the timber
land he scattered over Hardins and
Millers townships.
Farmer Thistlepod, suddenly be-
thinking himself of the rights of hos
pitality, asked if his guest had been
to supper.
The guest said no, he had not, and
they started for the dining room, Far
mer Thistlepod remarking that he
wouldn't charge him anything for
supper and lodging, and they could
settle for the damages in the morning.
