He Wes Miraculously Brought Back.
A man and his wife and four or five children
sat at the Erie depot across the river the other
day, says NJ. Quad in the New York Evening
World, and il was plain enough to the most
careless observer that the relations between
husband and wife were somewhat strained
She sat upon the end of the bench as stiff as a
poker. while he made thin pretense of being
sleepy. all of a sudden new IDEA seemed to
strike him, and he began TO cough 1t was q
cough from way back. 1t was a regular old
New Hampshire cough. which shakes the dried
pumpkins down from the poles in the kitchen
and pulls the pin out of the barn door 400 feet
away. Every body in the room looked up and
the Oldest boy took on an anxious look and said
to the mother:
Nav NAV! Dads got an awful cold"
He hant neither" she bluntly answered.
He's jest putin it all on to git sympathy"
Eyes, Danny" said the old man, as he gave
the boy an affectionate look; your daddy is a
wrenching himself all to pieces. It's only
question OF few days when he'll be follered to
the grave. and you Young 'uns will be left
fatherless. TIN be awful to you, but | can't
stay"
How'll it be awful on themT' sharply de
In varus ways" replied the husband, after
INDUCING in another cough. which almost
stopped the clock. Them children will miss
my tender ways, fur one thing"
and lickin'!"
81 am, Ell? Very well, you can have your way
about 1t. When I'm gone there wont be no dis

NAV, is dad goin to dief" asked Danny.
Nav! ~ she replied. He's jest got one of his
pndgy fits on"
He has. OH" queried the old man. "All right
or you! When throw up lung. perhaps
you II change your tune. When l am gone
wouldn't be in a certain persons shoes for no
money. There wont be no use of weepin'
around and askin' my forgiveness when I'm
gone. Danny, hitch along a little and give me
room to cough agn, and If burst a blood
vessel want ye to remember how yer mother
abused me-"
This was cough which would have twisted
the head off a hitching- post clear across the
street, and when it died away in q faint rum
BILE the wife looked somewhat anxious, and
observed:
Why, SAM. you must hev got your feet out
Of bed last night"
Never mind my feet,' he replied, as be
reached out to stroke Danny's hair. This is
the same cough that has heen hastenin' me to
the grave for year. | don complain,
though. Nobody II ever hear me complain bout
anything. I'm one of them kind what suffers
ana endures and never says a word. Don't cry,
children. Alus remember that yer father
loved ye."
"Mebbe you'd better take some perrygoric."
anxiously suggested the wife.
Its too late, he whispered, as he grabbed a
coming cough by the neck and thrOttIed it,
"Perrygoric never drawed man back from the
grave. You'll find the deed to the farm 10 that
yaller chest"
You don't want to die, SamI" said the wife
in coaxing tones, as she laid hand on his
shoulder.
NO. don't want to, but feel that I've got
to. I'd like to live for the chidren's sake of
course, but if l can't that ends it. l wanted to
make a preacher of Danny, and lawyer Of
BILL and educate Susie TO play the palmer
but
~ wasn't mad, sammy" interrupted the
wife.
ives, you was, Mary-mad at your dyin
husband; but it's all right. I shan't haunt ye
after I'm gone"
Better go out and git ye some cough drops,
Sammy"
"How'm I goin' to get 'em without a red
cent?
Here's half dollar"
But you'll blow about my extravaganza if l
take 1t. Member how you blowed about them
II cents for watermelon:"
Il won't blow, Sammy-not a word. Here's
tho money, and you go'n use it."
We'll, I'll take 1t TO oblige you, Mary and
mebbe it'll be the means o savin my life. You
take keer of the young 'uns, an I'll be back
purity soon"
SamI brought up in nearby saloon and
said schooner to the man behind the bar
AS he got it he spread his feet apart, uttered a
"ha!" of deep satisfaction, and observed to a
man sitting at a table,
