about how much you'll pay fur my
grave-stpn, Samuel?"
Mr.. Gallup had picked a rusty iron
hoop up out of the grass and was ousy
driving it over the barrel, and even if
he heard her he did not think best to
answer.
''There's-there's another thing I
wanted to talk about" said Mrs Gallup,
as she wiped her eyes and choked back
her sobs. 1--WE bin dyein' my hair fur
the last five years. If they don't hev
hair dye up in Heaven don't know
what Pm goin' to do. An what about
night caps, Samuel? I've worn one fur
the last twenty years, and if they don't
supply 'em to angels shall have the
earache as sure's you're born. You are
Justice of the peace and orter know
about these things and 1 wish you'd
tell me-
Put Mr.. Gallup didn't. He straight
ened up and cast glance at Mrs. Gal
lup, but he had nothing to say. She
sobbed three sobs and shed fourteen
tears while waiting, and when it was
apparent that he had no opinion to adj
vance she said:
Mrs. Bebee says if she was to die
and Bebee was to marry agin she'd
come back as speerit and haunt his
wife, but that's not my way. You kin
git one as soon as you please arter I'm
gone, and won't never bother her. !
s'pose you'll paint the kitchen floor fur
her, and if she wants the pigpen white
washed twice a year you won't say
word. There's another thing about
angels, Samuel When they are tookin'
sick in the night what's done fur 'em
and who does it? And was thinkin'
only this mornin' that I never tried to
fly in all my life, and that I'd probably
break my neck unless Twas introduced
to some angel who'd show me how to
flap my wings"
Mr.. Gallup had driven on the hoop
and he now moved over to take the
Sag" out of the woodshed door. Mrs.
Gallup squoze out six tears, took a
hearty snuff of the camphor, and rose
up to say:
"Mebbe the clock stopped because it
was run down, and mebbe the wind
blowed that yaller bowl off the table,
and perhaps the Lord hasn't sent fur
me arter ALL Would you be disap-
pointed, Samuel. if / was to live on,
and you couldn't colt around and go to
the circus and marry young gal?
| 'spose you would, but I'm in the Lords
hands. If He calls fur me to flap my
| 1appin' wings and soar away I'll hev
+ to go, but if He decides that kin stay
on till arter I've made my cucumber
| pickles and apple-butter it hain't fur
me to rebel l guess I'll go in and
look around and see whether I'm goin'
to die or not"
| Mr.. Gallup didn't know when she
went, being busy at the door. He had
| probably forgotten that such w oman
Iexisted when she called to him, half an
hour later. from the kitchen door:
Samuel, you watch out fur tramps
and tin-peddlers while run over and
tell Mrs. Robinson that I'm goin' to set

she wants to-morrer if they don't sour

THE TIDE IS RISING.

That the demand for free silver is growing IS fact admitted. says the Graham Guardian.
 An eastern contemporary is amazed at the growth of public sentiment in favor of silver monometallism in every state south and west of Pennsylvania. "It is spreading like prairie afre. It is sweeping the country like cyclone" " The only hope is that it will spend it. self before the election, and that by ''the circulation of sound money litera- ture, suitable to the understanding of the masses, the reaction in favor of honest money will be irresis tible." The condition is BOW very alarming. "At the hotels and restaurants free silver is served for breakfast, dinner and SUD- per.
 Ut is the chief topic in the waiting rooms oi railway stations, on the cars, on the streets, in the stores and offices the pastors discuss silver, the bankers ask you what you think of it. It is amazing how many business men. hitherto straight for sound money, are now on the fences or have gone clean over into the silver mining camp. Whole cities and sections all right ninety days ago are two-thirds three fourths or four-ffths for free silver The thing is epidemic.

IT IS reported from Washington that another issue of bonds will imediately follow @ decision Of the supreme court adverse to the income tax. These will of course go to the Morgan Belmont syndicate. It was part of the bargain that they should have all bonds issued prior to October l. All pretence that bonds are sold tc maintain the gold re- serve has been thrown aside, and what was we'll known all the time is now openly acknowledged; that is, that the bonds are sold to get money for running expenses. Does the Democratic voter see any advantage to him in the reduc- tion of the tariff tax when his indebt edness is continuously increasing?

as the country grows older is partly owing to the fact that soils long culti- vated do not hold water as they do when full of vegetable matter This is especially true where the soil is heavy and has at some time been worked while wet. It often requires years of cultivation with winter freez- ing and thawing to fully break up the clods made by blowing when the ground is saturated with water. The blow presses particles of clay soil to- gether instead of pulverizing them. If they are narrowed while wet the clay sticks to the harrow and but little good is done. If the soil is undrained these clods will remain for years, as the saturated soil freezes solid at the surface and thus prevents the deep freezing needed for pulverization. Fall blowing is beneficial for land in this ondition.-Rural World.
