The remark is made that all the
stock and cattle of this region are
in better condition at Christmas
time than they have been for years.
We suppose it is to be attributed
to several favoring causes-a good
mast crop. the unusually large crop
of peas planted, plenty OF corn,
and the mild weather that has pre-
vailed from early fall up to this
time.

When the Fever Turned.

Lena was four years old, and the
feminine love for fine clothes was al
ready pretty well developed. Being the
only child in the family, and the special
pet of uncles and aunts who had no
children of their own, when she fell ill
with scarlet fever there was great
alarm, and night and day the solicitous
family watched by her bedside. One
night when the fever was at the worst
no one retired, but all sat quietly about
the room with fearful eyes waiting for
and expecting the end. Finally there
was a sigh and a.gasp from the bed and
Lena's voice, feeble but clear, broke the
mournful stiffness. "Uncle," it said,
"uncle, come here" Uncle Immediate
ly bent over the sick child. ''Uncle,"
she went on while the weeping friends
listened to hear what might be the last
words, ''won't you buy me blue silk
dress with white lace on it?" There was a
moments silence, and then Lena's
mother dryly remarked, 81 guess you
may as well all go to bed. She'll get

Money Orders InsSead of Savings Banks

Money Orders Ins$ead of Savings Banks.
Sometimes money orders as much as
twenty years old are sent into the post
Office department to be cashed. Queer
people stow them away in desks or other
hiding places, leaving them to be dis
covered in the course of time by heirs
Of course they are invalid after one year
from the date of issue, but duplicates
are always issued and paid upon appli-
cation. Actors, and particularly circus
people, have way of utilizing the
money order system as sort of banking
and safe deposit concern. While travel
ing about the country, for example, a
player will buy money order for 800
on New York, making himself the payee
Thus he puts away the sum in place
where no one else can possibly get it.
Before the year is out he may draw the
money and buy another postal order
with it, and so on, thus keeping the cash
secure for an indefinite period. He can
not be robbed. A circus clown was ar
rested in town out west with 5000
worth of money order receipts in his
clothes. Had they been stolen from him
he could easily have got duplicates

"Look at her; she's quite done up"
And, indeed, the Loadstone looked
half dead as she gazed fearfully ND at
Waterer. Her demeanor was not that

the end of it"
With weary sigh the rajah sat down,
saying, I'm not sure you will, you

While we talked the audience grew
impatient. However wonderful feat
may be the public likes to have things
kept moving. They thought Waterer
had been in the air long enough, and
there were cries of ''That'll do! Let him
DOWN. "Give us another!''
The manager held a busy conference
with the Loadstone. He seemed to urge
her, but she shook her head again and
again and would do nothing but lie back
in a chair and pass her hand to and fro
over her head. The rajah looked at her
with a slight smile. The clamor in

cry panic-seized the audience.

they cried, pointing to the pallid Wa
terer, who sat as rigid as trussed fowl.
After another despairing appeal to the
Loadstone, the manager came forward
and made lame speech. The Load
stone was exhausted with her unpar-
alleled exertions. She must rest; pres
emily she would hiring him down. Then
Waterer's friends arose and ascended
the platform. They walked about, they
stood on one another's shoulders; they

er A step ladder was called for and
brought. Placed on a sturdy table, it
just enabled a man to reach Waterers
feet. One mounted amid intense ex-
citement. Turning to the rajah, ex-
claimed, "Look!'
He was asleep again, and the Load
stone stood stifliy upright, beckoning
toward Waterer. Slowly and gradually
he descended, leaving the man on the
ladder grasping at empty air till he sat
again on his seat. The applause burst
out and the Loadstone sank back in q
faint on the floor. The rajah awoke and
the manager dropped the curtain, hiding
the Loadstone, Waterer and his friends
from our view.
"Give me your arm," said the rajah,
Il am tired" escorted him to cab
and we drove home.
The Loadstone gave no performance
the next evening; she was too fatigued;
and Waterer was absent from the boat
and from the sight of men two days.
When he reappeared he made no refer

at Waterer, and said to me, when he
had passed:

Waterer has not done it again. And
the Loadstone never did that trick again.
She took the twenty five pounds, though.
The manager called on Waterer and
asked for a check. think that incident
pleased the rajah most of all.
