The fact that Bryan was 100000
votes weaker in the south this year

is new south, unquestionably. and
it is crowding out the old south at a

ercise It.
We had been there nearly a month
when Ossa was piled on PeliOn and
Pelion on Olympus, and-next door was
let to q family Of nine.
Mothers tongue, generally so glib in
consolation, ceased to murmur soft
platitudes and pluvial signs were in
her eyes half the day long. Now, my
wife had found distant connection in
the shape Of a gay, rollicking young
fellow named Jack Wilderg--or rather
he had found her-and the two had be-
come exceedingly great cronies, not
withstanding che disparity Of their
ages.
"T sent for Jack" she briefly an
nounced. Something has got to be
done"
So Master Jack duly put in an ap-
pearance. 7
"Why, VOW, you two are as blue as
nSoonstOnes,' he declared, as he tossed
his hat on sofa and coOlly seated him
self on mothers work table. "Are you
pining Tor the pumpkin pies and cream
sodas Of your native land?"
Then mother, with q touch of pa
thos, which would have pierced any
thing less obtuse than Jacks sensi-
tiveness, told how was distracted with
the racket Of the children, how was
growing 80 irritable-which was not
true-thak she expected me to become
nervous wreck and fit candidate for
a "rctreats"
"Oh, jack, Jack" she walled, "what
must we do?"
And Jack oracularly answered, as
though he had been pOndering for hours
over the question:
"Pull up sticks and go to Melcomb
Regisl"
''What and where ia MelcOmb Regis?"
| gasped.
WELL" Jack continued, pensively,
umheeding my thirst for typographical
information, 81 think that is just the
place for you. There isn't an able
bodied infant in all that blessed parish,
Fact, / assure you"
"0h, Jack, how can you jest at our
misfortuneP''
Jest, indeed! I'm just as serious as
Mumb0 Jumbo. You see the hamlet Of
AlelcOmb Regis, lovely spot 40 miles
away In EsSex, belongs in toto TO SiI
Hugh McGregor, an old baronet, rich
as Croesus, Hnd mad as a March hare
who has such q persistent hatred o.
children that he will not allow one OF
his estate, and inserts in his leases thai
II one Of his tenants knowingly ant
willfully hRrbOrs child, he shall for
felt his holding; and a. the rents are
prepOsterouRly low, the baronet's Law
has been religiously observed"
"What . wretch--I mean what q
public benefactorl" Mother gushed
"And that's the place for you to steer
to-" Jack declared. "You can run W
to London twice week to crib you
stuff from the old national curiosity
shop, and grind it out down there Al

"Then pay what is right and be mas

flashed.
"0h, child, you do not understand.
Sir Hugh has certain scruples-"
Besides" she interrupted, with
withering scOrn, ''lunatics cannot even
make verbal contracts"
"LUnatlcsl"
"Why, surely. You do mot dare to in-
Sinu0te that any sane man would make
laws to suppress my beautiful babies
~ though they were little dramshops
or Bmallpoxes"
Half-laughing, half-crying, she swept
from the room with her treasures.
Sleep was impossible that night, not
only on account of my troubles, but
because mother" was fussing in her
d&ughter's bedroom.
When she did come in saw trouble
written ON her face.
"What is It now P'' asked, petulantly.
"Don't get into a furry, DEAR" in
that exasperatingly soothing tone wom-
en- use to husbands and infants. But"
"But whatP"
"Little Charlie is not very well--in
fact, I sadly fear he's got the measles"
She saw my abject misery.
''PshGw, there's nothing to be
alarmed about--he's a healthy child
and will get over it in a couple OF
weeks
''WOman," I yelled, edo you know
that it Is utterly and absolutely inn
possible to keep those children here
40 hours?'
At this iuncturo Nell, looking very
sweet in her dressing-robe, came into
the room.
"He has gone to sleep all right" she
said, Cheerily, "and the fever has left
him. / don't think it is measles-
merely little mild rash, after all,
