A Free Ride.

A poor tramp lay dying in city hospital,
where he had come after years of wander
ing up and down the railroad ties of earth.
The doctor and nurse stood talking near
the bed. The nurse thought a minister
should be called as according to all authori-
ties man that had lived a life such as his
would have much to repent. Just then the
weary eyes opened and the pale lips
moved

the doctor smiling. although there was a

''Well my boy, it is long. long way

"a restful, satisfied smile. such as touches

And the eyes closed forever. and the

had lived SO poorly. CONFRERE.

rear with our noble Steeds of mule and
horse. We had been on the road about
half hour, and was vainly trying to keep
off of my horses neck. when we ran square
into the blackest cloud that ever crossed my
path. We could only see short distance
ahead, and talk about rain, thunder and
lightning-nO stretch of imagination would
be equal to the task of giving you definite
idea of that occasion. A brilliant flash
would almost blind me. then again it would
play around the bride and make me hustle to
dodge it. Every illumination was followed
by crash among those rocks above and be-
low me, until thought was between two
armies. each doing their utmost to blow me
up with shells; the cold chills that ran up
and down my back were sublime, grand,
and also wet l thought what an awfulIy

with gauze wings to rescue me from my

and then the thought flashed through my
fertile brain, that this would be most ap-
prOpriate place, amid the fury of the ele-
ments. to compose some of that sublime
heroic poetry that would make fellows
hair stand on end to read it-poetry that
would make the angels shout for envy. 1

frantic grab for the saddle. and gave one
wild, wild yell for Krump, but it died ere
it reached him.
1 shall not forget how welcome the sight
of the timber land was to me that day.
After ride of five miles the storm abated,
the sun came out and added it's brilliant
rays to refreshed nature as we drank in the
beautiful scenery the balance of the return
trip. We reached ManitOu Park at 6 p. m.,

In - is local court presided over by
an honest old farmer. who in earlier years
was an attorney at law. The judge is
unique specimen-muscular, impatient,
quck-tempered, but not ungenerous. At
one time. while on the bench, he espied in
the audience an old negro whom he had
employed to haul some timber from his
saw.mill near by, but who had been induced
to do the same kind of labor for another
person. to the neglect of the judiciary. The
judge Immediately suspended the trial,
quit the woolsack. and approached the
African with. ''YOu- old rascal! Why
did MT you haul timber for me. as you
promised? I'll teach you lesson"
Old Afric squared off, shucked his coat,

Everything that tends to add dignity and
decOrum to the transaction of business in
our courts is so much added to the respect
of the public for judicial decisions. The
wearers of the ermine of certain state had
determined that decency should pervade the
bench. The following order was issued:
State of II County Court
- County - Term A. D. 1S-.
1T is ordered by the court that there be
no yowyowin' done by any of the justices
while the court is in session."
Squire - suggested that. as mark of
respect and decency. the justices CT said
court. should uncover when entering the
court room. WhereupOn the clerk entered
upon the minutes the following:
ut is ordered by the court that all jus.
tices of this court take off their hats when
they enter the courtroom"
One OF the justices stated that Mr.. JUS.
tice - could not observe said order, as he
had no hat, but wore coon skin cap.
1t was therefore further 'Ordered. That
Mr.. Justice - have leave until next term
of this court to furnish himself with hat
that will not be disgrace to his associate
justices. and that he proceed to burn the
coon skin cap now worn by him."
Furthermore Ordered That if the said
-. j.. doth not burn said coon skin cap,
as required by order of this court. then the
chairman of this court and his associates be
and are hereby appointed by the court as
special commissioners to act in the prem.
ises. to burn said coon skin cap. and report
to the next term of this court"

Not having much land TO SOW to oats
this season, determined TO put IL In
good shape, In order that IL might do
its best. The land is clay soil, and
not over ana above good at that. The
spring was backward, and on account OF
wet weather did not get my oats sown
until the middle OF April. Tho land
was plowed, rolled and narrowed; rolled
and narrowed again, and then drilled
lengthwise with two bushels OF oats and
100 pounds Of phosphate TO the acre. II
was then cross drilled with two bushels
more OF oats and 100 pounds OF phos'
phatc. After the sowing the weather
was very dry for FIVE or six weeks, SO
that they did not stool out much, and
were rather thin on the ground. But
am we'll satisfied with the yield, which
was sixty-flve bushels TO the acre, and
the man who did the reaping said that
he could have measured an aero that
would have yielded 20 bushels. Tho
oat crop In this section went for the
most part only from 30 TO 30 bushels,
with now and then piece that would
perhaps reach 40. ] think | got wei
paid for the extra labor Of cross drilling
and the 2O' pounds Ct phosphate to thu
acre. Thirty bushels OF oats at 32 cent
equals $3.50; 200 pounds OF fertilizer

ing, which Is very handsome profit.

ReJuvenated Chestnuts.

The exchange editor, with all his
virtues, is not infallible, and it Is sur
prising to see how he will sometimes
snap up an aged paragraph as though
it had seen the light of day only
week before. An odd experience,
tending to prove that there is moth
ing new under the sun" was that OF
a well-knowu syndicate ietter-writer.
who discovered some years ago. in an
out-of-the-way place, AN explanation
of the original of the term Uncle
Sam" The source Of his information
was so obscure that he felt almost as
though he had originated the explana-
tion himself; and he proceeded to send
it out into the world over his sigma
ture. 1t was picked up by the ex-
change editors and spread like Wild
FIRE all over the country. Probably
every newspaper in the United States
with circulation of 10000 or more
printed that article. Sometime after
ward, looking through the appendix to
Webster's dictionary, the correspond
ent who bad written tie article came
upon dissertation upon the origin of
"Uucle SAM exactly like the one
which he had appropriated aud had
thought so new" He did not en-
tighten the exchange editors; and.
for all ! know. they are still placing
the article to his credit.
Another experience of the same
writer was with a story Of Chief Justice
Marshall. Some public man repeated
1t to him as new. According TO this
story, Marshall, who was always a
slouchy man, was walking down the
street one day, when be was accosted
by stranger who said TO him; See
here. old man. / wish you would carry
this chicken down TO my house" The
chief justice grayely took the chicken
and walked down the street with ii to
the house which the man had indicated.
When the stranger arrived he offered
Mr.. Marshall piece of money. which
was accepted and pocketed. 1t was a
long time afterHard that the man
learned that he had paid the chief
justice Of the United States for carry
ing his chicken. The writer thought
this story Il very good one. and he
elaborated II in one Of his letters.
Some time afterward he opened a coDy
of woll-known First reader and
there. 10 large type. suitable for the
youthful eye. was the story Of Chief
Justice Marshall aud the chicken. told
almost exactly as ii had been told TO
him. Yet the exchange editors reyeied
