This was followed by applause, which
when being looked up, turned out to come
! from the wife of the speaker, who had
been hunch-berrying, and hearing noise
in the direction of the speakers stand, had
drifted around that Way, and having met
| the audience before shook hands with him
and sat down to hear the address.
The speaker touched lightly on the sub
iect of the presidency of Is 90, and said that
while his health was never so good as il
was at this time, yet he did not wish mis-
name used for two reasons. One was that
he had been too fearless in his denuncia-
items of the large moneyed interests, and
the other was that he would rather lecture
all winter at his present prices than to de-
liver ten free speeches per day out OF the
| tailgate of a sleeping car and then get up
three times in the night in a suit of paiams
to inquire the name Of the station and then
make ten minutes cyclopedia speech on
| its resources.
The audience agreed after the address to
use his influence toward seeing that the
speakers name was not brought up before
the convention. After the address the
mayor of Skyland, who owns the sugar
bush in which the opera house stands,
opened fresh case of Bent's justly cele-
brated water crackers, together with a new
Chalybeste spring that tasted like the base
ment of a WI olesale hardware store after
the big fire in Chicago. After this came a
spirited two-old cat tournament in the
afternoon, and a basket picnic, during
which the little child of the audience, by
his first wife, discovered the deserted nest
of one of the celebrated little mammoth
black hornets OF Tennessee. This insect is
called in the south the typhoid touch-me-
not of the tropics, and wears platinum
singer. with an alcohol lamp for same, all
the time.
The black hornet is now said by a writer
on war topics, whose article was returned
TO him by some Of our leading magazines. to
have been the cause of the mastery forced
march from Bull Run to Washington. The
black hornet has broken up eight district
schools in Tennessee, and il the colored
Zion NJ. Z. church at East Conquest is
barred out Of paradise by the committee on
credentials the black hornet that built his
nest il the hot air register during the sum-
mer will be to blame for it.
Let others admire the delicate texture Of
the black hornets deserted home, but
blowing down the barrel OF deserted shot
gun is good enough for me. Moreover,
will look just as well on the following day
and suffer less.
We buried the little youngster IN the
cool, yellow mud down at tie branch-all
but his head, and it we poulticed with wet
plug tobacco and ammonia-tin toward
evening, when he could bear to have his
fathers hat on and go home. He did not
see my fireworks. He had TO worry along
with those he had stirred up in the clinker-
built household of the black hornet
We opened the evening with song.

then touched off bunch of fire crackers
in order to seat the audience and then let
off Roman candle, the breechpin Of which

gated balls up my sleeves.
/ then sang song entitled "SDRrkling
and bright in liquid light is the water in
our glasses. Twill give you health, twill

After this came mine which the cata-
Iogue said would spout gold and silver
showers, interspersed with red, blue, vel
low and green meteors. This mine was

partly owned in Wyoming. II had owned

the Pauper's Dream, and was discovered
by Buck Bramel He owned the two
mules, Yeller and Yaller. which had almost
a national reputation. The Pauper's
Dream showed rich at the grass roots with
blossom rock that looked like iewelry
store, but it ran into micacous slate and py-
rites of poverty at ten feet. Then we got
some good quartz again and the lead was
better defined neglected my life insur-
ance premiums to pay my assessments, and
then we struck at a depth Of eighty one
feet one of the incest springs of water from
which ever drank out OF.
Buck was working in the mine at the
time. He got to the surface about
eight minutes head of the water

man to deal with than Buck would.

liable to make it an object than Buck
would.
CThe pyrotechnic mine, however, acted as
il might il it had got wet in some way, so
we dried it out near the stove this morn
ing.
It did not look SO well when it went of
as it would if it had been at night, but it
lit I'D the little plain kitchen and made it
look almost like fairy palace.

He then had some more Roman candles.
