Don't keep Us III suspense; who is dead:
and the elder said no one was dead, but
they called as a duty they owed the
cause to take action on them for work
ing on Sunday.
! MA, she tainted away, and they threw
, a pitcher Of water down her back, and
Pa said he guessed they were a pack OF

day, and they saw Ma washing and Pa

Then there was few minutes low con.

heard Pa kick his chair over and say II

Then we knew it was time to adjourn
and was just getting through the back
fence as Pa reached me with barrel
stave, and that's what makes me limp

That was real mean in you boys
said the grocery man. ut will be hard

"Oh, l don't know. remember hear.

PA reached me lctth barrel staye."
ut wasn't long before folks began 60
ing to church, and you'd a died laughing
to see them all stop in front of where
Ma was washing and look at her and
then 60 on to where Pa was hoeing
weeds and stop and look at him and
then drive on. After about dozen teams
had passed heard Ma ask Pa if he knew
who was dead, as there must be funeral
somewhere. Pa had just hoed into a
bumblebees nest and said he did not
know of any that was dead, but knew
some that ought to be, and Ma she did
not ask any foolish questions any more.
After about 20 teams had stopped Ma
she got nervous and asked Deacon Smith
If he saw anything green. He said some
thing about dissertation and drove away.
Deacon Brown asked Pa if he did not
think lie was setting bad example be-
fore his boy, but Pa he said he thought
It would be good one if the boy could
only be hired to do it. Finally Ma got
mad and took the tub behind the house
where they could not see her. About
o'clock that afternoon we saw q dozen of
our congregation. headed by the minis
ter. file into our yard. and my chum and
l knew it was time to fly, so we got on
the back steps where we could hear. Pa
met them at the door, expecting some
bad news. and when they were seated
Ma she came in and remarked it was q
very unhealthy year, and it stood people
in hand to meet their latter end. None
of them said word until the elder put
on his specs and said it was 9 solemn oc.

ut was most o'clock, and l began to
think about supper, when the deacon
said all they had was bread and milk for
supper Sunday night, and rasseled with
tin basin of skimmilk and some old
back number bread and wanted to go to
bed, but the deacon wanted to know if /
was heather enough to want to go to bed
without evening prayers. There was no
one thing was less mashed on than even
ing prayers about that minute, but l
had to take prayer half an hour long on
the top Of that skimmilk, and l guess it
curdled the milk, for hadn't been in bed
more than half an hour before 1 had the
worst collie boy ever had, and I thought
Ishould die all alone up in that garnet
on the floor. with nothing to make my
last hours pleasant but some rats play
ing with ears of seed corn on the floor
and mice running through some dry pea
pods. But how different the deacon
talked in the evening devotions from
what he did when the COW was galloping
on him in the barnyard.
"Well, got through the collie and was
just going to sleep when the deacon
yelled for me to get up and hustle down
stairs. l Thought maybe the house was
on fire, cause smelled smoke, and got
into my trousers and came down stairs
on a jump yelling Fire! when the dea-
con grabbed me and told me to get down
on my knees, and before l knew it he
was into the morning devotions, and
then he said 'Amenr and jumped and
said for us to fire breakfast into us quick
and get to work doing chores. looked
at the clock, and it was just o'clock in
the morning, just the time Pa comes
home and goes to bed in town when he
is running political campaign. Well,
sir, had to jump from one thing to an
other from o'clock in the morning till
D at night, pitching hay, driving reaper,
raking and binding, shocking wheat,
hoeing corn and everything, and never
got kind word. l spoiled my clothes,
and think another week would make a
pirate of me. But during it all had
the advantage of pious example.
II tell you, you think more of such q
man as the deacon if you don't work for
him, but only see him when he comes to
town and you hear him sing Heaven
Is My Home through through his nose.
He even is farther from home than any
place l ever heard Of. He would be q
good mate on Mississippi river steam
boat if he could swear, and guess he
could soon learn. Now, you take these
cabbages and give me 90 cents, and l
will go home and berry 10 cents to
make up the dollar and send my chum
back with the horse and wagon and my
resignation. l was not cut out for q
farmer. Talk about fishing-the only
fish saw was a salt whitefish we had
for breakfast one morning, which was
sailed by Noah in the ark" and while
the grocery man was unloading the cab
bages the boy went off to look for his
chum, and later the two boys were seen
driving of to the farm with two fishing
poles sticking out Of the hind end of the
wagon.

LACEY INVESTMENT COMPANY,
Fooled With the Wrong Girl,

sAC
The white sash looked very invit
ing; there was no doubt about that,
Any one would be tempted to put a
mark of some kind on it, because it
looked so fair and neat. 1t was a
long affair. and it had caught on the
back of the seat the young woman
was occupying in the street car and
was waving out behind in tantalizing
proximity to the man on the rear
seat, says the Chicago Post. He looked
at the sash and he looked at the girl.
She was pretty and vivacious and
looked just the sort of girl who would
enjoy little Irritation.
"I'll give her surprise, anyhow"
he said, as he sought the end of the
sash and reached in his pocket for a
pencil. an bet she'll be surprised
when she takes that sash off to night"
He carefully wrote his name and
address on the end of it as a gentle in.
timation that he would like to hear
from her and then released the sash.
1t is impossible, from the informa-
ton at hand, to say positively whether
she was surprised or not when she
took off the sash.
She probably was surprised and she
may have been startled, but in any
event she was not nearly so surprised
or nearly so startled as the young
man who had done the writing was
when her brother called with a piece
OF the sash in his hand so that he
would not forget the address. That
was something he had not bargained
for, and as he bandaged damaged
eye after it was all over he decided
that possibly he had made mistake
in giving his address and that brothers
were an Internal nuisance ANYWAY.

II all that mothers are to them came
home to the perceptions of daughters
ct an earlier period. says Harper.
Bazar. they would be more anxious
than they generally seem to be to spare
those mothers. to prolong their days,
and save them from much of the exer.
ton and anxiety that are liable to
shorten their lives, and that If only
from merely selfish reasons. How
many daughters are there who. it lie,
between them to do it, do not let their
mothers rise in the morning and make
the fire and prepare the breakfast; who
In the interim between cooks do not
let the whole burden of care and the
chief endeavor of work come upon the
mother; who do not let the mother get
up in the night and attend to the calls
of sudden ills; who, if it is necessary
to watch with the sick. do not hold
themselves excused, and the duty to be
. maternal one; who do not feel it their
privilege to be ready for callers and
company while the mother is still in
working dishabille; who are not in the
habit of taking the most comfortable
chair; and who. in the matter of pro.
vision of toilet do not think almost
anything will do for mother, but they
themselves must be fresh and fine and
in the fashion? How many daughters
are there who. when pleasure taking
comes In question, do not feel, even
perhaps unconsciously. that the mother
has had her day and ought to be con-
tented. and they should be the ones to
90 and take the enjoyment? 1t would
seem as if the mere sentiment of self.
preservation would teach daughters .
better line of conduct. 1t is the mother
making the central spot of the house
usually that makes home possible. 1t
is the mother from whom the greater
part of the happiness of the home pro-
ceeds. If she dies the home disinte-
CRATES. or it is not unusual that another
comes in to take her place-a foreign
and alien element. before whom the
old union and happiness may possibly
fly. To preserve tins home and this
happiness, one would imagine, should
be the first effort of the daughter, that
she should, out of regard for her own
comfort and qualification. as well as
for that of others. seek every means to
make life easy for the mother. to in.
sure her health and length of days.
Never again will any daughter have
such friend as this mother; no fond
adorer's eyes will ever follow her with
the same disinterested love as this
mothers eyes do. nor will any give her
the sympathy she does. 1t is wild folly
on the daughters part that let's the
mother waste her strength instead of
seeking by every means possible to
save and increase it; for while good
mother is with her family they are en-.
PERTAINING an angel, whether unaware
or not.

About l o'clock last Friday morning, ire
Wa discovered IN house owned by Carlton
Mrtuwn on Washington street.
The fire probably started in the wood-hed.
a. it wa well under way before the inmates
were aroused.
The hose companies promptly responded,
but there being no city water at hand, the fire.
men were obliged to return for an engine.
IN The meantime the house occupied by Mr..
McGown, and but few yards distant, was
: kept from burning by the strenuous effort, OF
the firemen. When tie engine arrived The
fire was beyond control. and the building
burned to the ground.
The occupants, Charlie. Frazier and Henry
Bartlett, lost most OF their belongings. The
house was worth 500; partially insured.
4 funny incident occurred during the fire.
The Jordan Brothers, well-known entbu-
sia>tic amateur photographers, were on the
spot with their camera. While getting their
apparatus into position, some OF the hosemen
who were on the roof Of an adjoining build ing
accidentally o. upset several pals OF water,
