They Both Knew Her,

Detroit Free Press.
A stranger with sad, tired look, and
a manner that he wished to escape gen.
eral observation, came YEARLY into a
little Western town the other day. He
stopped at the town we'll to slake his
thirst and battle his flushed face and
brow, and while he drank enizen of
the town drew near. He, too, had a
careworn face and an air of general dis
enlargement.
stranger here, amt you?" he asked
of the wayfarer.
"Yep-stranger now, but 1 used to
live round here"
"No-did you? Lately?"
No; it's nigh on to ten year since l
left.'
''And you amt been back since?'

changes, | see, since then, and l don't
reckon there's many left l useter
KNOW"
''Mebbe not; who'd you know?"
"Well, lemme see-there was wo-
man named Watts l useter to know
Sally Watts.''
Did you know Sally Watts?' asked
the denizen of the town.
"Knowed her well. I-I-did you
ever hear of Sally?"
Yes, /"
do you know Sally Watts?"
"Yes-I-I-"
The wayfarer looked carefully around,
lowered his voice, and said cautiously:
See here, mister, I've favor to ask.
1t amt much. Would you mind not
mentionin' to Sally Watts that a
stranger was round astin' fer her?
She'd know it was me. an I'd rather
have a hyener on my trail than Sally
Watts. She's an idee that I'm dead, am
| want her to cling to that idee. If you
know Sally Watts, mister, mebbe you
know how nigh she comes to bein' kin
to the devil. If she amt Zantippy l
never see one. Lookee here, stranger,
you've got sympathetic kind of face,
an b'leeve you'd know how to feel fer
a Teller that's went through what Tve
went through with, an feel as if I'd
like to contide in you. Stranger. 1 use
ter to be married to Sally WattsI'
The recipient of this confidence gave
gasp, and wrung the hand of the poor
wayfarer, aging with fervor:
pity me, man; I'm married to her

mutton and veal will keep at the old
prices although the quality is not so
good as it has been. Most of our beef is
secured outside of Minnesota. owing to
the farmers not engaging in diversified
farming"
George Thuet, produce merchant:
produce prices-Eggs, butter and
cheese-are all high. Eggs have been
scarce all summer and the price high.
They fell back to cents last year and
are now up to 20 cents. Beef and pork
will be high because they have got to
follow corn, and corn must follow
wheat. You will hear that the farmers
complain of prices but they are not
suffering very badly when they receive
an average of 20 cents pound
for butter. The trouble in these high
prices for produce is the failure of the
farmers to raise the supply to the de-
mand. In consequence we have Ger
many importing millions of eggs to us.
Farmers all this year have been able to
command from Is to % cents at the
nearest railroad station for their butter,
and still the supply falls short"
From these interviews, covering all
of the retail fuel and food trade, a
fairly accurate range of prices for the
season can be made as follows:

The Hired Man of Old.

This is the day when the "hired man.
who is engaged to work on a farm for
the season reports for duty, provided,
of course, that there is somewhere Il
farm on which such relic of by-gone
age as the hired man is to be fonnd this

be in the days when we We're Young! A

first of April until the close of the sea
son, after harvesting, he expected to
work, and he did work, not from sun to
sun, but from dawn to darkness, and
then did the milking and fed the pigs
afterward. His day was fourteen, tif-
teen, even sixteen hours long, and it
never occurred to him that it should be
shorter. He was no specialist. He could
do anything. He was smart with a
scythe, handy with hoe, cute with a
