He Remembered His Mother

Three or tour OF us soldiers on duty al
Fort Leavenworth in 1867 were out OF
the hills for ramble one day, when 8
man came from the direction of Topeka
on horseback. We saw him long Eenougt
before he got t0 US, and we saw that he
was closely pursued by half dozen mounted
men. We knew that meant Business, and
we formed across the highway and halted
| the fugitive. His horse no sooner came tc
step than it dropped dead with exhaustion
| The rider, too, was about played out, and
| he made no resistance as we collared him
| AS the pursuers came up and dismounted
| their leader, who seemed to be familiar
with the program to be followed. briskly
observed:
Now boys, get rope over the limb of
that tree and run him up.
The fugitive had nothing to say, and in
about two minutes he had moose around
his neck and was waiting to be pulled up.
Four men tailed on the other end, and
the leader approached the prisoner and
said:
Its usual to give man few minutes
in which to say his prayers"
Its a sure thing, suppose
Dead sure. You've stolen your last
horse"
''Got tc go this time eh?"
bet you last dolar!'
Say, boys, said the man as he looked
around him with good bye to earth in
his eye, ''come bit closer. am pretty
well blown, and you've drawn the moose a
little too tight for comfort. | can't do no
praying-it's too laterfor that I've got a
poor old mother over in st. Joe. 1t ism t
her fault that I've gone wrong. I've got
800 here of straight money and | want
you to promise me that some of you will
send it to her. Her name is Mrs. John
Weber Write her letter and say |
died of fever, or some such thing, and
and that ! was too sick to write Will yop
pronlise?"
Aye! we will answered every man.
''Cuss you and Kansas and all the rest
of the world, but can't go back on my
poor old mother! Take it easy, boys
Make it accident or sickness, but don I
tell her just how it was. She's old and
gray and febie, and it would break her
heart. You've promised, and if you go
back on yo'lr word I'll haunt you to your
graves! Now | curse you all-defy you
and you can pull away as fast as you d-n
pleased"
They pulled, and he hung clear of the
ground until death. Then they lowered
the body, secured the money, and as they
rode away the leaCer looked from us to
the buzzards sailing over our head and
said:
Leave it alone boys-theyl take care

FARM, HOME And GARDEN.
AN AUTUMN SONG.
NINA =. LAYARD.

All the summers worn and old:
The sun has ceased a-wOoing il.
Trees are dropping blood and gold
Blood for murder of the right.
And good TO hide II out o sight;
But for all they are so bold
| think they II fail for doing it
Till the careful sun is cold
Till the watching stars for dread
Go out, and cease TO tighten ii,
Cruel earth drinks up the red.
Wrung by list of greedy gain,
From the broken sweater pain,
From the dying and the dead,
Till never moon may whiten it
With her silver pity shed.
Ye who tread a golden way
With hearts of others paving ii,
Harki the autumn voices say:
"The yellow leaves lie ankle deep,
But through them still the crimson peep,
Ruddy drops to stain the day.
No after rainl ops, laying it,
VI ash the purple from the clay

Restlessness Among Women


One outcome of the increasing activity
of women in the world of affairs is a
restlessness among those confined to do
nestle circles who have no especial gift
for work outside. They hear Of women in
colleges, women in the professions, they
know of woman following pursuits that
were once the exclusive PROVENCE of men,
and the are uncomfortably conscious of
their remoteness from such distinction.
Il do not want to spend my life cook
| ing and washing dishe;," protest these
indictments. When asked what they
would do instead of homework, the answer
is vague and purposeless, from the fact that
! they have neither natura; or acquired abil-
! ity for other work. When such women
yield to discomfort they either develop in
to slattens of the most pronounced type in
dress and work. or spending all they have
for personal adornment, promenade the
streets, haunt the dry goods shops and
essay to be butterflies, with neither beauty
nor usefulness as an excuse for being.
There are other women who chafe I'M
der the bondage of domestic life because
they desire to cultivate some especial gift.
One has passion for music, or taste for
! ainting; another has thoughts that burn
for expression through the pen; still
another has an aptitude for teaching, or
d craving for knowledge The daily de-
rlands Of the family precu lie an indulgence
