Thus far the shipments have been at the
rate OF nearly 257. 10000 bushels per an
mum. The significance Of these figures is
more clearly seen when the facts are re-
called that the exports last year, following
the harvesting Of two very large crops in
succession, were 100000 bushels; that
the exports for the year before, following
the harvesting of our largest crop and
stimulated by an exceptional shortage in
Europe, were Do, eo0. 900 bushels; that
the average for several years up 90 that
time had been less than 1is.0oo. 900, and
that the crop Of this year is very small.

well, Pa was astonishcd and said he
must be wrong in the head. and | left
him thawing himself ly the stove while
| went after his pants. and his legs were
badly chilled. Iut l guess nothin was
froze. He lays il all to Ma and says if
she would stay at home and let people
run their own baby shows there would
be more comfort in the house. Ma came
III with IL shawl over her head. and after
she had told Us what the result Of her
visit was she sent me after vaseline to
rub Pas legs. Pa says that he has dem
Onstrated that if man is cool and col
lected in case of fire and goes deliber-
ately at work to save himself he Will
come out all right"
We'll, yOu are the meanest boy l ever
heard Of" said the grocery man. But
what about your Pas dancing a clog
dance in church Sunday? The minister's
hired girl was in here after some Goldfish
yesterday morning, and she said the min
lister said your Pa had scandalized the
church the worst way"
e"Oh, he didn't dance in church. He
was little excited, that's all. You see,
Pa chews tobacco. and it is pretty hard
on him to sit all through sermon with
out taking a chew, and he gets nervous.
He always reaches around in his pistol
pocket when they stand up to sing the
last time and feels in. his tobacco box
and gets out chew and puts it in his
mouth when the minister pronounces
the benediction, and then when they get
out doors he is all ready to spit, He al
ways does that. Well, my chum had
present on Christmas of music box
just about as big as Pas tobacco box,
and all you have to do is to touch
spring, and it plays, She's daisy, she's
a dumping
81 borried it and put it in Pas pistol
pocket, where he keeps his tobacco box.
and when the choir got most through
singing Pa reached his hand in his pock-
ct and began to tumble around for a
chew. He touched the spring, and just
as everybody bowed their heads to re-
ceive the 'benediction- and it was 80 still
you could hear gum drop-the music
box began to play and in the stiffness it
sounded as loud Us a church organ.
Well, thought Ma would sink, The
minister heard it, and everybody looked
at Pa, too, and Pa turned red, and the
music box kept up She's daisy and
the minister looked mad and said Amenr
and the people began to put on their
coats, and the minister told the deacon
to hunt up the source of that worldly
music, and they took Pa into the room
back of the pulpit and searched him,
and Ma says Pawill have to be churched.
They kept the music box, and have got
to carry in coal to get money enough to
buy my chum new music box. Well.
/ shall have to go and get that vaseline
or Pas legs will suffer. Good day"

"Got any vaseline?" said the bad boy
to the grocery man as he went into the
store one cold morning. leaving the door
open, and picked up a cigar stub that
had been thrown down near the stove
and tegan to smoke it.
Shut the door, dunn you! Was YOU
brought up in sawmill? You'll freeze
every potato in the house. No, haven't
got vaseline. What 90 you want Of
vaseEner' said the grocery man as he
set the strip keg on a chair by the stove
where it would thaw out.
wv ant to rub it on Pas legs" said the
boy as he tried to draw smoke through
the cigar stub.
"W hat is the matter with your P,.s
legs? Rheumatic"
'.W uss nor rheumatic" said tiae-bay
as he threw away the cigar stub and
drew some cider in a broken tea cup.
PA has got the worst looking hind legs
you ever saw. You see, since there has
been so many fires Pa has got offul
scared, and he has bought three fire es-
capes made of rope with knots in them,
and he has been telling us every day
how lie could rescue the whole family IL
case Of fire. He told us to keep cool
whatever happened and to rely ON him.
If the house got on fire, we were all TO
rush TO Pa, and he would save us. Well,
last n ght LA had to 90 to one of the
neigh ors where they was going to have
twins. and we didn't sleep mnch, cause
Ma had to come home twice in the night
to get saffron and an old flannel petit
coat that / broke in when was kid,
cause the people where Ma went did not
know as twins was on the bill of fare,
and they only had flannel petticoats for
one.
"Pa was cross at being kept awake
and told Ma he hoped when all the chill
dren in Milwaukee were born and got
grown up she would take in her sign
and rot go around nights and act as
usher to baby matinees. Pa says there
ought to BET law that babies should ar
rive on the regular day trains and not
wait Tor the midnight express. Well,
Pa he got asleep, and he slept till about
s o'clock in the morning, and the blinds
were closed, and it was dark in his room,
and l had to wait for my breakfast till
was hungry as wolf, and the girl told
me tc wake Pa up, so went up stairs,
and don't know what made me think
of it, nut I had some of this powder they

ne Jumped about six feet and said,
'Hreit heavens, what you dewin? and
then ne began TO roll over barrel which
L mad arranged for him. Pa thought he
was going down cellar, and he hung to
the barrel, but he was on top half the
time. When Pa and the barrel got
through fighting, was beside him. and
l salo, Calm yourself and be prepared
Tor the ordeal that is to follow Pa
asked much of this dunn fooling
there was and said he was sorry he
joined. He said he could let ticker alone
without having all the skin burned OFF

Il Told Pa to be brave and not weaken,
and all would be well. He wiped the
presliratiOn off his face on the end of his
shirt, and we put belt around his BODY
and fltched it to tackle and pulled
him up so his feet were Just off the floor,
and then we talked as though we were

hands and feet as they clawed the air
He actually sweat so the drops fell ON

he was awfully relieved, though his feet

the handkerchief from his eyes, and the
Dutclanan said if he didn't get out in a
holy minute he would kick the stuf1ing

He took his pants and pUtthem on in
the alley, and then we come up to Pa
and told hiE that was the third time the
drunken Dutchman had broke up our
lodge, but we should keep on doing good
until re had reformed every drunkard
in Milwaukee, and Pa said that was
right and he would see us through if it
cost every dollar he had Then we took
him home. and when Ma asked if she
couldn't JOIN the lodge. too, Pa said:
Now, you take my advice, and don't you

HIS PA JOINS A TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.
Don't YOU think my Pa is showing
his are a good deal more than usualY"
asked the bad boy of the grocery man
as he took a smoked herring out of box
and peeled off the skin with broken
bladed iacllknife and split it open and
ripped off the bone, threw the head at a
emf and took some crackers and began to
eat.
Well don't know but he does look
is though he was getting Old" said the
grocery man as he took a piece of yell
low wrapping paper and charged the
bows poor old father with a dozen her
rings and pound of crackers. But

Well, | am going TO, said the boy as
he picked the herring bones out of his
teeth with a piece of match that he
sharpened with his knife. But l don't

Well, he thinks he has joined the
Good Templars, so it is all the same.
You see, my chum and me have been go
in to private gymnasium on the west
side kept by Dutchman, and in back
room he has all the tools for getting up
muscle. There, look at my arm said
the boy as he rolled up his sleeve and
showed muscle about as big as an oys-
ter. That is the result of training at
the gymnasium. Before took lessons l
hadn't any more muscle than you have
got. Well, the Dutchman was going to
q dance ON the south side the other night,
and he asked my chum to tend the
gymnasium, and told Pa if he would
join the Good Templars that night there
wouldn't be many at the lodge. and he
wouldn't be so embarrassed, and as / was
one Of the officers of the lodge l would
put it to him light, and he said he would
60, so my chum got five other boys t
help us put him through. So we steeret
him down to the gymnasium and made
him rap on the storm door outside, and
said who comes there, and he said it
was a pilgrim who wanted to jine our
sublime order.

over me and told me to save myself, and
got to the back window to tell him
there was no fire just as he let himself
out the window. He had one end of the
rope tied to the leg of the washstand,
and he was climbing down the back side
of the shed by the kitchen with nothing
on but his nightshirt. and he was the
horriblest looking object ever was, with
his legs flying and trying to stick his
