kept the crowd laughing most oil the time
and onc6 or twice moved their tears. When
he was in the midst of his testing Ben Wade,
who had been listening iniently and now
and then bursting into horse laugh alter
all the others were through, suddenly
asked:
They say. Corwin. those Mexeans want
to be annexed to the United States. What
do YOU think OF that idea%
"Corwin's face changed from gay to
grave. his eyes became serious and every
one bent forward 10 hear what he might
say. He raised his hand and attempted to
speak. His lips moved. but no words came,
though his hand stiIl moved in gesture.
Then 1T was seen that something was the
matter and we moved back TO give him air.
He raised himself suddenly from his seat,
reached forward his hands and fell into the
arms of his friends. We carried him into
the next room and laid him upon bed anu
he never spoke again. He had been struck
with paralysis and that night he died. de
was a great man and we all loved him and
admired him. He was one of the best
classical scholars OF his time aud he was
fond of reading the classics in the original.

Corwtn's last words death seemed TO be
afar off from him, and | recalled the fact
that Corwin had that night told the story OF
a man who died. as he did an hour later, oil

the story of Corwin's death, and within
few weeks he falls In the same way from
almost the same disease, neuralgia Of the

She Reared the Chicken as a Member

lar Story.
Written for THE MORNING CALL.

Old hens have grown quite used to having
their eggs Matched in all sorts of peculiar
methods, so that they are not usually sur
prlsed at anything new. For several years
all their honest efforts in the work of incu-
baton have been discouraged strongly. No
matter how much a respectable old Biddy
wanted to do the work. her owner preferred
TO have it done in an old wooden box, with
a lamp in one corner.
Tie old egg-produeers have grown used
to this sort of thing. and know that should
they will be tied up in some lonely spot or
else nut TO soak in a tub of water. But a
case Of incubation took place near Wood
bridge last sum mer that would be sure to
call forth objections from any hen with
common pride for her calling.
A rancher named Marshall while cleaning
out his barn one morning heard the chipping
of young chicken near by. 1t seemed
strange to BIN, but he looked in every nook
and corner and then came to the conclusion
that he must have been mistaken. He went
on with his work, but was surprised to hear
it again. 1t chirped loudly and appeared to
be in great distress, but its voice did no:
come from any particular direction.
He wondered where ii could be and where
1t came from. None Of his chickens had
been setting, and there was no house near
that it could come from.
The floor of the barn had been thickly
covered with hay, and this was what Mr..
Marshall was clearing out when attracted
