words, and the thought that, perhaps,
now there would be no Clifford ever to
trouble her again.
Some Of the nearest neighbors had
come by this time to join in the search.
Just then thought came to Mr.. Holt
of Rover, and calling him, he said,
"Where is Clifford? Go 6nd Cliffordw
This he repeated several times until
the dog began smelling on the ground.
1t was some time before the track
across the road was found, but when it
was the dog went straight into the
wheat and disappeared, Mr.. Holt fol-
lowed, the moon making it almost as
light as day,
After going little way he stopped
and called to Rover, thinking what
nonsense to be wasting the time in this
way. No doubt Rover thought he was
after birds, and, besides, he was break
ing the wheat all down, and he had teld
Clifford never to go into tn grain fCs
that very reason. But Rover would not
come back, but ran on as If he under
stood just what he was about. So ho
followed as rapidly as he could. All at
at once Rover came to stand still,
wagging his tail gleefully over blue
sailor hat in which was nest of little
birds, with their mother. Mr.. Holt was
sure now that Rover knew best, and
urged him on. And in few minutes
they came to little curly-headed boy
lying fast asleep, and his face all swol-
len with crying.
The next instant no was awake and
telling his papa he was so hungry, and
he had found one nest of birds, and
when he tried to find the way home he
could not. AS his father held him in
his arms and started for the long tramp
back, two big tears fell on the curly
head as he thought of what would have
happened If it had not been for Rover.
All summer long, way out in the
prairie was large square of wheat that
the machine never reaped, and in the
midst was the happiest family of little
red birds whose home was in the blue

A TARDY VENGEANCE.
vindictive Energy of Patriotic Son oi
Bonnie Scotland.

That eminent political economist VIII,
defined murder as "a salutary check to
over-population" was certainly an ad-
vanced theorist in his own way; and So,
too, was that famous surgeon who spoke
of the battle of Waterloo as "a colossal
example of unscientific dissection" Blu,
both these admirable men have been
completely thrown into the shade by a
humber professor of the same school,
who figured in an adventure that befell
no less person than Sir Walter Scott.
During one of the great novelist's
Journeys through the north of England
he was attacked by slight indisposi-
ton while halting at small village
near the Scottish border, and sent out
his servant in quest of doctor. The
man soon returned, and ushered in a
stout elderly person, in whom Sir Walter
recognized to his no small surprise, q
former servant of his own.
"Why, john" cried he, sis this really
you?"
SAY, it's me, Sir Walter" answered
the visitor; "and I'm varra glad to see
ye again. | hae gotten some O. that

they're jist grand! Whiles sometimes

and, WOW! I'm fast asleep i five min

"Well," said Scott, laughing good
humoredly at this rather doubtful com
pliment, ''l'm very glad that any bool
of mine can do so much good. But, tel
me, John, how came my man to brin!
you here? / sent him out to fetch me
doctor"
"Weel," replied John, with quie
dignity, 81 myself am jist the docto
here"
Sir Walter was thunderstruck, as wei
he might be, knowing as he did tina
John was as ignorant of medicine as @
Chinese.

turning doctor, john" said he at length
pray what drugs do you use?"

Ned Grimes wore a sad countenance.
He was often asked what was the mat
ter; but no satisfactory answer was
forthcoming. At length, an intimate
friend obtained the following particu.
lars of him:

"Why, he kinder hinted round as if

"Well, Ned, let us know what the
hints were-what the Colonel said to

"Why, he said if he catched me there

There is an old story which has lately
been revised and is now going the
rounds of the press, both lay and med.
ical, which is not improbable in its con.
ception and which is worth repeating
for the benefit of some of the younger
generation who may never have come
across 1T. 1t is stated that Bismarck
once called in young physician who
had been very strongly recommended to
him. The doctor naturally questioned
his illustrious patient very closely as to
the nature of his symptoms, their dura-
tion, degree of severity, etc. The Prince
is nothing if not grouty, and, not rel
ishing this cross-examination, dismissed
the physician with scant courtesy. The
latter hastened to depart, but before
making his final adieu, offered the sug-
gestion that the best thing for the
Prince to 10 would be to send for vet
erinary surgeon, since the latter never
put any bothersome questions to his pa
| tients. Medical Record.

A QUEER PET.
How 1t Went Fishin' with Molly and
Peggy.

How 1t Went Fishin' with Molly and
Peggy.
Peggy and Molly lived on farm In
Pike County, Pa. Their house was
long way from the nearest neighbor, and
it was seldom any children came to see
them, so they made playmates of all the
animals on the farm.
"Yes," said their mother, "them chill
dren petted all the critters so and made
em so tame couldn't seem to keep 'em
out the house. Chickens and turkeys,
and even calves and pigs, would come
poking their heads in the doors at all
hours of the day."
You see Peggy and Molly commenced
to pet the calves when they were baby
calves, and the pigs when they were
wee, cunning little things, and did not
stop petting and playing with them
even when they were full grown. That
is how they came to have big pig for a
playmate.
"Molly," said Peggy one bright morn.
ing, "lets go fishin',"
"All right" said Molly.
So with fishing poles over their
shoulders the children started off.
Now which of their playmates do you
suppose went with them? Not Nero.
the dog, nor Tabby, the cat, not even
Ted, their pet rooster, who usually fol-
lowed them everywhere, but it was
Master Pig himself who escorted them.
The pond was about quarter of a
mile away, and to reach 1t, it was nec-
essary to cross a brook, Theirs was no
bridge over the brook but thsy crossed
on fallen log.
Master Pig will have to go home
now," said Molly as she reached the op-
posite bank, "he can't come over here"
But Master Pig had no such idea, he
would never desert his little friends in
that way. SO placing his two forefeet
on the log, he turned up his funny nose,
shifted, grunted, and then started on his
perilous journey.
Slowly, carefully, step by step he
walked along the slippery log until he
finally reached the other bank in safety.
Then with a grunt of relief he fol-
lowed the little girls to the fishing
ground and, lying down, made himself
comfortable while the children devoted
themselves to the serious business OF
trying to catch minnows with bent pins
for fishing hooks.
Not once did Master Pig wander away
from his little charges, and you may
be sure when they all came safely home
at noon, Master Pig was given an extra
good dinner for having taken such good
care of the little girls. -Adelia Is.

WHOoP CITY DoINGS.
Vivid Glimpses of Society Life in a Boom

from the society columns of the Whoop

glimpses of everyday life in that pros
pective metropolis:
"Uncle Jackey Rawson dropped in on

little Willie Hanks was painfully
hurt, Monday. His mother, as is her
wont when making him pair of pants,
had him lying on the cloth on the floor
while she chalked the shape around him.
At that moment his father came hurry
ing in with the news that there was an
Eastern capitalist in town, and stepped
on the poor little fellows head before
he saw him."
"Revrend Mr.. Harps requests us to
announce that he will marry all comers

Is thing that can only be experienced
by one who has gone through the mill.
And So to appreciate all there is in
this nineteenth century civilization of
ours, one must go to work at the bot
tom and build it up from the chaos in
which housekeepers always seem to
take such fiendish delight.
For weeks the wife of your sorrows
has said 1--WE will clean house Mon
day. and you have been led to think
1T little, trivial thing, not worth
worrying about, and so have not
hired man to do the heavy work be-
cause there seems to be no heavy work
to do. But at last the fatal moment
comes and you can escape no longer.
You are asked with all the sweetness of
anSnvitation to peaches and cream if
* will help with the stove before you
fgo downtown, and in a moment of
weakness you consent Then you are
lost, even more effectually than the
woman who hesitates. Once the stove
is out you see the zinc on which it rest
ed is easy to remove, and that comes

from the carpet by your wife, whose
forehead shows an enormous height,
and then, while you are at it, you can
SO easily help them roll the carpet to-
gether and carry it out to the back yard
so that the man who is expected every
minute can beat the dust out of it to
his hearts content OF course he never
comes, and when you have carried the
found you had missed the train, you go
at 1t yourself and thump away for half
an hour at the dust you were all winter
treading in. Then you ara hot and
dirty and all out OF patience, and when
yo. Z. > fitlNos Sase for glass of but
termilk and find the woman who was to
have come Is as far away as is the man
servant you grow desperate, get a mop
and bucket, turn up your trousers and
fall to work. From then on it is you
and your wife for it. No one ever found
an alien assistant when there was a
house to clean.
Bedsteads have to be set out in the
shade and mattresses have to be hung
in the sunshine: and when you have
wrestled with one of those latter abom-
nations you feel that Evan Lewis and
his strangle hold would be an easy and
welcome thing in comparison. You are
allowed to wash the woodwork in the
parlor while the man hangs the paper in
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1890-11-28

One OF the carpets has to be ripped
and sewed over, and while you are. busy
with such little things as going with
out your dinner, lifting two.ton bureaus
and full.length mirrors, carrying out
wardrobes and base burners, that ami
able woman, with ragged calico
dress on, sits down in the midst of the
litter and sews like a Trojan. She
tells you what lot OF lovely new
things Mrs. Blank is going to get for
her parlor, and harries yGu into prom
Using good deal better outfit, even
though you know your salary is already
overdrawn. You blister knees and
knuckles scrubbing the floor, and fall
from the step-ladder while trying to
brush the dust from the ceiling. You
knock the little statuettes from
the brackets where they had gained q
residence, and in fit of impatience at
pounding your thumb throw the ham
mer through the largest window lane
in the house, You tear your clothes on
nails that were never revealed be-
fore, and cut both hands on the butch
er knife while struggling to prepare a
lunch. Your ravenous appetite can
find nothing but husks of u better liv-
ing to feed upon, and not many even OF
them. A tailor comes and presents his
bill, which he claims is due and has
long been in that condition, and in the
face of proof so positive you can not for
moment make your wife understand
where all the money goes to.
When you have lived through three
days of this sort of agony, going to bed
at midnight, only to rise with a mid.
summer dawn, you find the house is
cleaned and the things that were sc
hard to move out can now be moved in
again. Though bruised and broken in
body and spirit, you are still in the
ring, and come up to the scratch with {
readiness that would disqualify you fol
the prize ring any day in the week. Not
a man, woman or child has appeared tC
help you, and it seems that neither love
nor money can induce them to sell al
hours labor. The ice man stands OF
the back step of his wagon and laughs
as you strain every muscle of your body
escorting dray-loads of furniture tt
their places i'll the house, and even thu
neighbors stop and ask how you like it
They tell your wife on the quiet tha
she is fortunate, but she knows that ant
always has. You struggle through tn,
setting up of stoves, the jointing o
pipes and the stretching of stubborn
carpets, and you swear when it is al
over that you will never, so long as rea
son maintains her throne in your dis
tracted globe-never clean house again
But then comes the reward. Thel
comes the victory. The consciousness
that you may pass stove without be
ing asked to lift it; that not one of tn
tables or chairs or bureaus needs NOV
ing for another year-and that you ma
manage to die before that time. Al
these things are sweet and soothing t
