other work for the old gentleman, but did
not want any more to do with the family.
and did not bid on his work. Neceasity
compelled him to employ others, but. when
he and the men he employed were unable to
get along without my services cave him
the information he wanted, and mt the
same time told him he would do me favor
if he would keep his patronage awav from
my place. Speaking about "Qall. !" reminds
me of the fact that bid on q job in one Of
our western cities fourteen years ago, and
the contract was one hundred thousand dol
lars. filed bond for half Of the amount
and completed the contract and received
payment, and never put MP check for one
solitary dollar.
:; On N. the very day that ! failed to put
board paid over three hundred dollars Tor
wages. 1t took more GALL I thought. to
stand my men of for their wages for day
or two than to present the school trustees
with letter in which they had every as
snrance that 7 would enter into contract
with them in the event was the lowest
bidder. But on the other hand, am cred
ltably informed that Mr.. Thompson, IT,,
was candidate for Office in his native
state and county four or five years ago, and
when the vote was counted he fell one-half
short of corporal's guard. This may have
had something to do with his coming out
west. But the question that suggests itself
to my mind is, who are the suckers? The
people who made an alderman of him in
this place or the people who knew him as a
boy. l have my theory about the matter.
!! believe that Thompson's eye water has
had something to do with the brain in this
case. But sincerely hope the young fell
low will get over it and make his father at
least proud of his big boy John.
Respectfully yours,
N. E. WALSH.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription

tonic and nervine. 1t imparts
strength to the whole system in

and appendages in particular.
Rundown" debilitated and deli
cate women need it. It's a legiti-
mate medicine - purely vegetable,

as much. You only pay for the

As a regulator and promoter Of

WHO'LL co sWlMMINc7
Tho Way the Boys Used to Do in tho oiden
Time.

wonder what sign the boys who
read this have for challenging or invit-
ing one another to go in swimmingp
says Harper's roung People.
The boys in the boys town used to
make the motion Of swimming with
both arms; or they held up the fore
finger and middle finger in the form Of
n swallow-tail; they did this when it
was necessary to be secret about it, as
in school, and when they did not want
the whole crowd of boys to come
along; and often when they Just pre-
tended they did not want some one to
know.
They really had to be secret at times,
for some of the boys were not allowed
to go in at all; others were forbidden to
go in more than once or twice day;
and as they all had to go in at least
three or four times day, some sort of
sign had to be used that was understood
among themselves alone.
Since this is true history, had
better own that they nearly all, at one
time or other must have told lies about
it, either before or after the fact, some
habitually, some only in great extrem-
ity. Here and there boy, like my
boys elder brother, would not tell
lies at all, even about going in SWIM
ming; but by far the greater number
bowed to their hard fate and told
them.
They promised that they would not
go in, and then they said that they
had not been in; but fate, for which
they had made this sacrifice, was apt
to betray them. Either they got their
shirts on wrong side out in dressing.
or else while they were in some enemy
came upon them and tied their shirts.
There are few crueltes which public
opinion in the boys, world condemns
but / am glad to remember to their
honor that there were not many in that
boys town who would tic shirts, and |
fervently hope that there is no boy
now living who would do it. As the
crime is probably extinct | will say
that in those wicked days if you were
such a miscreaut. aud there was some
boy you hated, you stole up and tied
the hardest kind of knot in one arm
or both arms of his shirt. Then, ii the
evil one put it into your heart, you
soaked the knot in water and pounded
it with n stone.
am glad to know that in the days
when he was thoughtless and senseless
enough my boy never was guilty of any
degree of this meanness.
1t was his brother, l suppose, who
taught him to abhor it, and perhaps it
was his own suffering from it in part,
for he, too, sometimes she'd bitter tears
over such knot as l have seen hap
less little wretches do, tearing at it
with their nails and gnawlng at 1t with
their tee tn, knowing that the time was
passing when they could hope to hide
the fact that they had been in SWIM
ming, aud foreseeing no remedy but to
cut off the sleeve above the knot, or
else to put on their clothes without the
shirt and trust to untying the knot

The Coffee Tree.

The coffee tree is from six to four.
teen feet high and the same tree bears
for number of years. The trunk is
from twelve to eighteen inches in d.
ameter and when fully grown much
resembles our own apple tree of from
ten TO twelve years standing. Or
dinarily the lower branches begin to
bend as the tree grows old, the wood
being very timber and pliable, and
soon form themselves into the shape
OF gigantic umbrella, many of the
branches reaching the ground. The
bark is whitish aud rather rough; the
leaves much resemble those of citron
tree. AS it always grows in tropical
ATTITUDES it continues green through
out the year, never being entirely bare
of leaves. Blossoms and green and
ripe fruit may be seen on the coffee
tree at any season of the year. When
the blossom falls off there remains in
its place small fruit, green at first,
which becomes red as it ripens, not
unlike a large cherry, and very good
to eat. Under the flesh of this berry
instead of stone, is found the seed
we call coffee, wrapped in a fine, thin
skin, The bean is then soft and very
u@palatable, but becomes harder as it
ripens, and the dried up flesh or pulp,
which was edible when young and ten
der. becomes a shell OF dark-brown
color and the berry a waxy, trauspa-
rent green. Each shell contains one
berry, which when separated forms
two of the coffee grains Of commerce.

Why Woman is Mans Best Friend.
First aud foremost, woman is mans
best friend:

First aud foremost, woman is mans
best friend:
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in i'll
ness, cndures his fretfulness and
''mothers" him.
Because she will stick to him through
good and evil report, and always be-
lieve in him, If she loves him.
Because without her he would be
rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words, of kindly thought and
consideration.
Because she can with him, endure
pain quietly and meet JOY gladly.
Because. on her breast, he can shed
tears of repentance, and he Is never re-
minded of them afterwards.
Because when he is behaving like a
fretful boy-and we all do, YOU know,
at times-with no reason in the world
for it, woman's soft word. touch or
glance will make him ashamed of him
self rs he ought to be.
Because without her as an incentive
he would grow lazy; there would be
no noble books written, there would
be no beautiful pictures painted, there
would be no divine strains of melody.
Because she has made for us beauti-
full world 10 which we should be proud
to live, and contented to die.
Because and this Is the best reason
of all-when the world had reached an
unenviable state of wickedness, the
blessed task of bringing it to Saviour
for all mankind was given to woman,
which was Gods way of setting his seal
of approval on her who is mother, wife,
daughter and sweetheart. and there
fore, mans best friend. --Ed,0ard w.
Box, in Ladies Magazine.

Texan Snake Story,

Bud Brown who resides short
distance north of this place, had an
exciting experience O few evenings
ago witha huge serpent. Bud, it APP
pears, was on his way home along
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas track,
fpom this burg, and had just reached
q point about one and a half miles
porth of Holland, when he heard
queer believing sound similar to that
made by alligators in the dead of
night. He looked behind him, and,
slfure enough, saw a sight that for
the time being rooted him to The
Garth.
About 100 yards in the rear he
Could plainly discern a snake of mon
strons size. The reptile approached
him at a rapid rate, coming so close
to him, in fact, that Bud, with
shrek of terror, jumped from high
trestle, landing in the soft sand be.
low, escaping, fortunately, with only
8 sprained ankle. Luckily tor Bud,
some cattle were grazing along the
track, which the big snake at once
attacked, making away in jiffy with
o calf and disappearing in the tim.
her.
Bud, who is a worthy citizen and
temperate withal, estimates the
length of the snake at AZ feet, with
body as thick as telegraph pole. He
also AYERS that the monster was
adorned with two formidable fangs,
and, in addition, was equipped with
horns about a foot and half in
length.
Recently farmers in this vicinity
have missed calves, sheep, and pigs,
and it is now thought, and with
some reason, too, that they have
been gobbled by the horned monster.
A posse of brave young men, well
armed, has been organized, and they
will scour the woods until they make
mince-meat ofthe thieving big snake.
