Counting Tn the Country.

Every lad In the country, no matter
how how amd his his on be
makes it point to own q set of har-
ness and buggy. This, anyway, and,
if possible, horse. If he can't get the
horse, however, it doesn't make so
much difference, for he can generally
manage to borrow an animal of some
sort, either from his employer or some
neighboring farmer. These things are
absolutely essential to the kind of
counting he does, and the only one
who doesn't enjoy it is the horse.
When Saturday afternoon comes
around the boys may be found hard at
work with bottle of harness polish,
making the horse apparel shine for the
regular Sunday turnout. And then @
bucket of water and sponge are
brought into play, and the buggy is
made as bright and clean as new Sun
day afternoon everything is in readiness,
and decked out in his best suit of
clothes, which sometimes fits him but
more often doesn't, he ties q piece of
bright ribbon on his whip, climbs into
the buggy and drives off.
Maybe he has a friend from some
other point stopping with him, and in
that case the friend goes along. The
latter is taken to some house along the
route where there is daughter in the
family. She is asked whether she ex-
poets any caller or not that evening,
and If the answer be in the negative
the friend is introduced and left in care
of the girl, who treats him Just as il
they had been lifelong friends, aud,
he in turn does his share towards car
rying out the presumption. He takes
tea with the family and then is es-
corted to the parlor, when he and his
new-found acquaintance are left alone
to entertain each other as best they
see fit.
In the meantime the buggy owner
has driven on to his destination. His
best girl welcomes him with open arms.
A hug, kiss and how-do-ye-do COM
prise the salutatory, and then he goes
through the same course as the friend
he has left behind. After tea he goes TO
the parlor and he and the object of his
admiration sit and chat together the
whole night long. This is a fact, and
they don't sit as city folks do, either.
They huddle together on lounge or
sofa and clasped in each others arms,
sit and COO like pair of turtle-doves.
No one is there to disturb or embarrass
them. The old folks have gone to bed
and the younsters are alone in their
glory. For a time they talk about
crops and the weather, and discuss the
habits of some mutual acquaintance,
and when they have exhausted all sub
jects on which they find it easy they
don't go ahead and talk for the sake of
saying something, rs city folks do, but
they remain silent and sit for hours
hugging and kissing each other, until
the break of day warns the youth that
it is time for him to retire. Then he
gives his girl parting kiss and hug,
another for good luck and takes his de-
parture.

EFFECT OF SPECULATION.
IL. G. Dun g. Co.'s Week Review OF the
Trade of the Country.

IL. G. Dun g. Co.'s Week Review OF the
Trade of the Country.
In their review OF trade for the past week
r. G. Dun X Co. say:
The last week has shown the influence OF
speculation and the artificial nature of current
prices. Wheat rose about cents bushel,
broke IL cents in two days. and again rose rap
i'd w. closing 10 cents higher than week ago.
Corn advanced q fraction, but receded; oats
have risen a and coffee about q Of a cent, but
lard has fallen nearly cent, and the fictitious
prices in cotton have yielded, with quotations
y cent lower These fluctuations, in the main
without any reason in condition Of demand and
supplies have tendency to retard all legiti-
mate business. Clearings at cities outside New
York show an increase OF IL per cent. over last
year with gains OF 1919 per cent. 1T Chicago and
IL per cent. at st. Louis, where the wheat specu-
lation RACES, and 81 per cent at Boston, where
stocks have been fucLuating wildly. The Gov
erment crop report strengthened wheat, pointing
to yield OF about 4J7, 900 900 bushels by meas
ure Estimates of shortage in weight range
from three TO eight pounds bushel, but flour
has advanced from $l.l5 for shipping grades TO
So 40 barrel for patents, or 80 to 43 per cent. IL
the rise in the price OF bread, as yet only one
sixth, leads TO a fall of a sixth in the quantity
purchased the difference would be greater than
the shrinkage in the weight OF wheat at the
largest estimates. Exports have been virtually
stopped From Atlantic ports only "a, 4s5 BUSH
els went out last week Meanwhile the corn
crop is estimated at 2,l10000.0O0 bushels, and
cheapness OF corn tends to lessen the home de-
mand for wheat

MAxvnLE, n r.. Dec. 2. 1895.
I lam glad to say, from long personal
experience with ALLcocK's Porous
PLAsTERs, that am able to indorse all
the good things that have ever been said
about them, and supplement these by
saying that frankly believe their value
cannot be estimated. Their breadth Of
usefulness is unlimited, and for prompt
and sure relief to almost every ache and
pain that hesh is heirto. no other remedy,
in my opinion, either external or internal,
equals them in certainty and rapidity. I
have used them at one time for rheuma-
tism, another for backache, again for
bronchitis, always with the same result

MRS. BEEN GETS A FORTUNE.
The Wisconsin SupNeme Court Decides
Celebrated Will Case.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court Decides a
Celebrated Will Case.
The litigation in the celebrated Kimberly
BEEN will case. which has been dragging
along in the courts for several years, has
terminated by decision Of the Wisconsin
State Supreme Court, the result being as
follows:
Mrs. BEEN, the respondent, was the wife Of
Gen. Martin BEEN of Chicago, and the attention
which the case commanded was largely due to
the sensational manner in which Mrs. BEEN
was brought before the public during the last
few years. The married life of the Beems was
not the happiest, and the suicide of Gen. BEEN,
presumably in consequence and the sensational
facts developed are we'll known. Mrs. BEEN is
the grand daughter OF Mrs. Lucy Kimberly, the
second wife OF Harvey Kimberly, wealthy
resident OF Neenah, Wis. Kimberly died
and bequeathed the income OF one
third OF his estate, which amounted
TO about $4,000 to his wife during her life, and
this third after Mrs. Kimberlys death and the
residue Of his estate TO his two sons by former
Kimberly elected to take the widows dover,
when she died testate. leaving Mrs. BEEN her
sole legatee. Daniel Kimberly, the executor, by
fraudulent representations obtained an order
distributing the estate equally between himself
and his brother This order the Circuit Court
reversed and the Supreme Court sustans the
reversal. The case was prosecuted vigorously
and eminent counsel were employed, among the
attorneys being Secretary William +. Villas.

.Don,t Crowd the Mourners. %

The expression, Don't crowd the
mourners,' originated with one Mier, a
prisoner in Mexico. The captured
Texans overpowered their guard at
Rancho Solado and escaped, but were
afterward captured and compelled to
draw lots. A number of beans were
placed in hat, every tenth bean being
black one. The man who drew a
black bean was to be executed the next
morning. One of the unfortunates,
who had drawn black bean, was JOS
tied accidentally by fellow captive,
who was crowding up to try his luck.
The jostled party, whose fate was al
ready sealed, laughingly remarked /:
