fact was. that with the advent OF bet
ter times and the consequent influx OF
miners wives, mothers and sweethearts,
the town began to be ashamed IN d Of itsel u
think seriously of the future.
On the evening of the I'd of July the
Watson Star came forth with the off,
cial announcement Of the committee's
action in the matter of arrangements
for the celebration of the national holt
day.
BY most of the citizens of Watson
the programme, as arranged by the
committee, was looked upon as a huge
joke. The very idea of Watson having
any kind of celebration involving such
pusillanimous. essentially feminine
number as is comprehended by n picnic
was almost incomprehensible and ex-
ceedingly ludjcrous.
In one family, however, this picnic
portion of the programme was taken
seriously-very seriously, indeed.
II will not stand it," said Mr.. Harmon,
as he sat opposite his wife at the supper
table on the evening of the Sd of July.
II suppose that Rhoda expects to at
tend that idiotic picnic with that young
ass of district sohool-teacher. II
makes me sick to think that n daugh-
ter of mine should become so infatuated
with forty -dollar-a-month fool like
that as to throw over a man like John
simpson-with all the property that he
has got, and with his known habits for
sobriety. Where is Rhoda tonight, by
the way?"
"Wh-why, she's at Mrs. wheeler's.
She'll be back soon"
why should she be over there?"
Probably because she was invited
over there" responded Mrs. Harmon,
bridling a bit. Cant that girl have

sneer, as who should say:

About five o'clock thai evening
Wheeler came into Harmon's hardware
store, and asked him to come outside
for minute.

Harmon?' Tom asked, without any pre-.

This was done before n notary pub

When all the papers had been signed.
sealed and delivered, young Wheeler
ventured a word.
Mr.. Harmon" he said, II have PLAYED

upon the other hand, expect you. when
you understand the circumstances. 10

20 which ] wish to call your attention:
and that is the fact that any contract
whatsoever made upon legal holiday
is void. Squire Mcdowell doubtless
knows this, but must have forgotten il
in this instance"
John Harmon looked steadily for a
moment at the young man who had I'M

drove up TO the front gate. and Rhods
went out and Joined him.
The picnic was held in large grove
about four miles from Watson, and
hardly any denizen of the village old
enough to comprehend what the day
was set aside for missed attendance.
As usual, there were several over-en.
thusiastic persons there, and these had
brought out an old brass cannon, of the
vintage of 1912, which they were firing
at such brief intervals as to warrant an
accident-and the accident happened.
John Simpson was assisting in load
ing the cannon, which was overheated,
and just at the moment that he was
about to ram in a charge of wadding,
the weapon was prematurely dis
charged, carrying away the larger por.
ton of his right arm.
Quick as thought, Tom Wheeler, who
was sitting with Rhoda In a buggy near
by, sprang out of the conveyance and
run to the rescue of his late rival.
Mr.. Harmon was also one OF the first
arrivals Mt the scene of the accident.
Some people are always sticking
their noses into other folks business

Simpson was not seriously injured. III

The next instant Tom Wheeler was

thing but the fact that his only daugh

less and helplessly staring.
1t was not sensational runaway

ugly about it?"
Mr.. Harmon bit into a hot muffin
and had nothing more to say.
The national holiday opened as usual
about three a. m, with the firing of
anvils and the enthusiastic but uncom-
pretending plaudits of the American
small boy.
Rhoda Harmon appeared very demure
at the breakfast table on the morning
of the glorious Fourth" She had little
to say, but she smiled complacently as
she took her seat and looked at her
mother over the top of the tall old
pewter coffee-pot.

Rhoda answered not word. merely

John Harmon dominated his ",yornen

anyone suggested 90 him that his meel,
little wife and handsome daughter had
their way in any manner whatever. he
would have scoffed the idea. He wa

creek after Bill Hopkins. When Bill
came up, the stranger looked him over
and queried:
''Ar' you fighter?"
81 ar, " modestly replied Bill.
"Hev you got a record?"
81 hev. I've licked every critter who
has dared stand before me from Grassy
Valley to Ace High"
but ar you gentleman as well as
a fghter?' persisted the stranger.
"Of course 1 ar p said Bill, land I'd
like to see the blamed galoot who says
I hain'tl But what's that got to do
with it, and what's all this riot about2'
'I'm wantin to come across critter
with sand" replied the stranger, in soft
and oily tones.
You ar wantin fuss?'
~ ar. but the Teller must be gen.
tleman, same as l ar. No gentleman
ever fights with loafer."
''Waal, don't see why we can't git
together" said Bill, "but l don't see
the objick exactly"
Tho objick Is to lick you'll
"Oh, she ar'l Well, fix things your
own way, and I'll be on handr'
After consulting with Judge Watkins
and others, the stranger arranged mat
ters. He war; ted to fight Bill rough and
tumble and he wanted the two of them
TO go up on the hill after dark and have
it out alone The boys demurred to this,
as they wanted to see the fun, but Bill
Hopkins said it should be that way. As
he understood matters, gentlemen al
ways went off by themselves to settle
disputes If the stranger was gentle
man, he couldn't afford to do anything
else. He'd lick him out of his boots in
five minutes, but he'd lick him as one
gentleman should lick another.
Thus it came about that the pair went
off together up the hill after dark, each
one bowling and scraping and trying to
Guido the other in gentility. They were
to take position ten rods apart, and at a
signal from camp were to brush together
When the battle was over, the victor was
TO boot and we would go up and bring
down the mangled remains Of the van
quished. The signal was given as agreed,
bat at the end of an hour no one had
hooted. We had just started to go up
when Bill came down TO us. There were
tears in his eyes, his back was bumped
up, and he dragged his legs as he
walked.
'Waal, is the corpse up thar" asked
Judge Watkins.
"Nary a corpse"
Didn't nobody get licked?"
"No. The teller slid out unbeknown
to me before you gin the signal, and
thar was nuthin fur me to fghtr'
1.-THE burned skunk! Why, he said

meeting will now come to order Now
then! 'Wh'aras one Teller who said he
was gentleman has sneaked out of
fight with another Teller whom we all
know to be gentleman; be it
Resolved, That Bill Hopkins ar
no longer gentleman and hain't got
no cause fur feelin bad about itp"
The preamble and resolution were
unanimously adopted and Bill wiped
his tears away, braced up his feelings
and was soon himself again.

PRINCE OF WALES INCOME.

A Proposal That His Annual Allowance
Be Increased.
A report IL current and gains oredence
In the lobby Of the house of commons that
the government will ask the house to in
crease the allowance Of 237, 900 yearly
granted to the Prince Of Wales In behalf
Of his family. The request will be made
on the ground Of the heavy expense of the
establishment of the Duke Of York, the
princes son.
The Prince of Wales has settled upon
him by law an annuity Of $40, 900, and by
an aot passed in 1889 receives 2S7, 900 an
nually in addition for the support and
maintenance of his children. He has also
as income the revenues Of the duchy of
Cornwall, which, in 1894, yielded him
EST, 734. The Princess of Wales has set
tied upon her the annual sum Of $40, 900,
which, In the event of her becoming a
widow, will be increased to &30, 900 annu-
ally.
Thus the incomes Of the prince and
princess amount to a total of about &144,-
734, or $723, $40.
