toward her own home. soon they met
the doctor and Mr. Reed coming upon
a run, and both men were very pale and
excited. Mr.. Reed looked much re-
lieved when he saw that Dimp was IN
hurt, while Or. Wilson rushed along
after old Grey and his carriage.
The man at the crossing told of
Dimp's narrow escape and Mr.. Reeds
face became pale again. He did not say
anything or did he smile when Dimp
sobbed out:
80 papa, just see poor Molly Ann"
Soon they met Mrs. Reed and it was
some time before the real facts were
fully shown to them all. and in their
great joy that the little girl was not
harmed she did not receive the scolding
that she really deserved.
Dimp always remembered the ride
because of the injuries that Molly Ann
received, and she never attempted to
take another doll out riding" as she
expressed it.-Christian Inquirer.

BLANK ETS

Nearly every pattern of ga Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't tue a0ayp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn'tworth one-half as much.
The fact that "a Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that
the 5A trade mark is sewed on

CONFIDENTIAL RoREs.
A Species of Nuisance That Makes One
Long for Sandbag.


Long for a Sandbas.
OF the class Bore-and. alas, what
comprehensive class it is!-few speci-
mems are so annoying as the individual
who insists on being confidential with
one on a short acquaintance. Of course,
reader, you have met with him in So
ciety. An hour after You have been
introduced to him he has made you his
father-confessor. His likes and dis
likes, his prospects, weaknesses,
grievances opinions, are all very much
at your service. Every time he meets
you he will treat you to a new INSTALL
ment of his experiences.
A more uninteresting creature than
the confidential bore does not live, and
yet it is his misfortune land yours to
think that he interests everybody. He
usually has some personal merit or de-
feet which he makes his especial hob
by, and rides over you roughshOd with
it The laws of good breeding forbid
one to insult the nuisances, but the I'M
regenerate man longs to insert his
fingers into their necllcloths and stop
the flow of drivel with an impromptu
touruiquet.
Perhaps these creatures ought to be
pitied for their weakness-butt the man
who can pity one Of them while being
subjected to his prosecutions IS capable
of weeping over the death of mad dog
or of saying to hornet that has just
stung him in the eye: go thy way;
the world is large enough for thee and
me" OF all boreS preserve us from
the confidential species--N. Y. Ledger.

1t is queer idea that many members of
the liuus" and Senate have in regard to
placing limitations upon constitutional
convention. If any act Of tic Legislature
could - "cr, bind or restrict it, then the
LcEi 'i':. could make the constitution.
3mI H!a>"!r a convention is so dangerous,
It's authority exceeds all State law, both
constitutional and statute. 1t need not stop
once to enquire what was in the call. If
it is conventional the people of the
State, ii can only be restricted by a
| fcw lines in the constitution Of the United
States. Ii could, if it chosc, wipe out the
public debt, make private contracts nuga-
tory, divide the State into ono hundred
counties, and stop trains from running on
Sunday; and all this right in the face of
anything the Legislature may have said to
tho contrary. Some who were trying ia
put in restrictive amendments must have

what the General Assembly would have

Some say they will and some say they
wont buy guano next spring. If Il farmer
made this year enough home supplies to do
him twelve months, he is sure to risk few
pretty days on cotton next year. If the
cotton area shonld by any possibility be
much reduced, this will again prove itself
fire climate for small grain and fine stock.
You are not bound to decide how many
acres you will plant in cotton till the lst of
next March, so let the fertilizer men ge
"hra'l and get all tho gnano made they can.
