MRS. GALLUP'S VISION
IT SAID, "eIT READY, FUR YOUR TIME
 IS AT HAND"

After Explaining to MT. Gallup Just What
 It Means She Gives Him Some Final Di-
 rections About the Funeral - Finding
 Him Obdurate. She Changes Her Mind.
 ICopyright, 1885, by Charles B. Lewis
 When Mir. Gallup went out with the lantern after supper to bed down the COW, fasten the henhouse door and add few more corncohs to the fire in the smoke house under the fresh hams, Mrs Gallup was sewing some binding on n piece of ingrain carpet for rug to lay in front of the cook stove and singing a hymn as she worked. When he returned 20 minutes later, blew out the candle, hung the lan- tern in the cellarway and entered the sit ting room to take up his paper, Mrs. Gal lup was stretched out on the lounge, and her work lay in heap on the floor.
 "I expected to be dead when you cum in, Samuell' she whispered as she opened her eyes for a brief look and then closed them again. "Sit down and hold my hand while speak my last wordsl'
 Mir. Gallup walked over to the stove poked up the fire with a splinter and then sat down in the chintz upholstered rock ing chair and began to unfold his news paper.
 While you was out to the barn and was busy with that rug" continued Mrs. Gallup, turning over to face him, II sud denly saw vision. You don't believe in visions Samuel Gallup, but I do I've had too many of them not to believe, and I've known too many nayburs who had them and died"
 At this point the tears began to come, and Mrs. Gallup reached for the few spare inches of pillowslip to use as a handker- chief
 "Yes, was workin and singin, she presently continued in a broken voice, and thinkin that I orter hev put our feather beds out today to air, when all to once-all to once, Samuel Gallup-sun- thin tall and thin and mournful seemed to rise right up and out of the floor before me, and solemn voice solemnly said, Git ready, fur your time is at handP l jest screamed out and fell on the floor, and how l ever got on this lounge don't know. Samuel, was that lame hen on the roost when you looked into the coop! Mebbe dyin people shouldn't be consarned about lame hens but was allus tender hearted"
 Mir. Gallup reached for his pipe and filled and lighted it and put his feet up on a chair and grunted with satisfaction, but ho made no reply, Mrs. Gallup sobbed four sobs and shivered twice and then went on:
 II did want to live to see if those peach pickles was all right and to make another jar of chilli sass, but if the summons hev cum-and I know they hev-I must go. It'll be too late fur your second wife tC make chilli sass, and if the peaches spile you won't keer about it, bein in luv agin. Yes; 1 expect you'll take a second wife, and the fust thing she'll do will be to hev a new rag carpet on this floor. put up new

term as mayor by at least TOO majority,
 but we only did our duty in the matter and feel no conceit Today as we look out upon the bustling streets and 42 sa- looms and poker rooms our heart swells
 with gratitude that it was in us to bar the
 way of the pitiless monster and turn him
 aside from his fell purpose.
 COMING EvENTs-The tens of thou
 sands of readers of the great family news
 paper of the west will Dc pleased to know
 that we have planned many improvements
 for the coming year The rush of adver-
 Using and our desire not to curtail the
 amount of reading matter will compel us
 to enlarge THE KICKER to the extent of a
 column per page. Among the several new departments we shall establish will be a society column, and We have already ar
 ranged with Mrs Gordon Jones to edit
 the same. She not only lived in Chicago
 year, but in a house renting for SEQ per
 month and was constantly in touch with
 society. The complaint has been general
 that We do not give space enough to mur-
 ders- We shall therefore establish a murder Idepartment, comprising at least one col
 umn per week. This will be in charge of
 our horse editor, who has killed three men in his time and still goes around with
 blood in his eye. All murders which come
 under his notice will be written up in his usual dashing style and made of interest
 to all readers. There will be a department
 devoted to family recipes, the care of chil dren, useful hints for the sickroom, etc,
 and another in which our agricultural editor will talk with farmers in n fatherly
 way about spring chickens, soft soap, lightning rods, corncribs and other things of interest.
 We have planned to also improve the i editorial page in the general makeup. Our editorials will not only be crispy and straight from the shoulder, but We have some new and original ideas to work out. Among others we shall advocate that Tex us be divided into three states; that Cana 1 da be annexed to the United States or held as n conquered province; that we pick a fuss with Mexico and GObble up all her
 coast line; that We buy up or gobblc both Cuba and the Sandwich Islands and that | we wear our hat on our ear and stand ready
 to knock the chip of the shoulder of any
 foreign nation. Our local page will bo
 made brighter and better, our miscellane-
 Ous matter cullcd with more care and more profusely illustrated, and THE KICK FIR will have a new head and come to the front as the handsumFst weekly in the big | west There will bc no increase in adver- tising or subscription rates, and We shall | continue to wear our guns on the street | and don blue wooden shirts the year round M.
