work lighter and his days shorter and

There were only he and his mother,
and they lived in a small cottage sur-
rounded by two or three acres of land.
The owner was anxious to sell. and Jim
had already saved 500 &C the 500 nec-
essary for its purchase; and he was
now looking eagerly forward to the
time when he would have charge of
the thrasher. With the good wages
he would then receive, it would be an
easy matter to finish paying for the
place.
During the latter part of August the
season became very dry, and many of
the small streams and springs dried up.
At some places it was almost impossible
to find water enough to supply the en-
gire.
At one of these places Jim was obliged
to 60 to a small roadside spring nearly

ON THE BANKS BY WELLS MILL.

I see the white sands twinkle to fields
where wild doves roam:
And the morning-glories climb the gate
and garden walls at home:
I hear the tinkle, tinkle of the fountain and
the rill.
And I'd like to be a~-dreaming on the banks
by Wells Mill.
The sunshine used to silver there from
Maytime's loveliest sky,
And sweet the bird songs in the air, and
sweet the kildee's cry;
The winds sang through the swaying vines,
and seem to WOO me still
To peaceful dreams by sunny streams
down there by Wells Mill.
o the brown bees bent the blossoms in that
springtime long ago,
And the daisies cleaned around me like
little fakes of snow;
And one there was beside me who made NY
fond heart thrill,
And the roses leaned to kiss her hand
down there by Wells Mill.
o brown bees in the blossomsI o roses, red
with bloom.
o lilies of the valley, o violets' perfumei
eyes-how dear your memory still.

only been able to obtain an indefinite
answer. Would this incident affect his
decision? Jim was afraid that it
might.

Jim.

well, I'm awfully sorry, %auntie: but
I'm afraid I'll have to take every bit OF
it. Mr.. Blackburn told me to keep the
machine going at all hazards. and l
can't do that and go to the creek. We
are on a particular job which we wish to
finish before dark"
But it was long after dark when the
lob was finished. and Jim was able to
seek rest. Instead of doing that. how
ever. he went Il the creek and once
more filled his water wagon. And it
was zeal midnight when he stopped at
the negro woman's cabin and called for
her to bring out her tubs.
A few days later Judge Morgan rode

While by Some Considered Politically In
consistent, He Was Highly Esteemed by
All Who Knew Him.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Ex-Senator Ly.
man Trumbull died at 3 a. IN. at his
home in this city. He had been i'll a
long time.
Judge Trumbull was born at Col
chester, New London county, Conn,
in 1878. For more than 30 years his
He has been school teacher, lawyer
and judge. He has played his part in
politics on the stump, in the halls of
congress-, in the deliberations of par
ties and as a non-combatant coun-
selor.
In the beginning he was an anti
slavery democrat. AS a republican he
fought side by side with Lincoln and
the men who founded the republican
party of to-day. Then his party. as he
thought, departed from its true mis-
sion and followed a line his conscience
would not indorse. R~esolutely he
turned his back on his former asso-
riates and became a democrat. In the
later years of his life he parted COM
pany with that party. He took
such a ground against the ex-
tension of power of the United
States courts that he became the
hope of the populists, and, in a sense,
their counselor. And all the time men
of both parties respected him. Judge
Trumbull's last appearance in a court
room was made as counsel for the
American Railway union officers be-
fore the supreme court at Washington.
Only once since then has he appeared
IN public. 1t was at a mass meet
ing in Central Music hall, where
he spoke at length on the causes
of discomfort among the indus
trial classes. He dwelt on the
encroachment of the federal courts up
on the constitutional rights of the
people and emphasized the point that
deliverance from the oppression of
privileged monopolies could be had
only through the ballot.
Judge TrumbuIl was twice married.
His first wife was Julia Maria James,
of Springfield, whom he welded in
1s43. She died in Washington in 1868.
In 1887 he married Mary j. I%ngraham,
of Saybrook. Conn.

of two suns, one of which is five or six
times brighter than the other. But
recent observations by Mr. Roberts at
the Cape of Good Hope observatory
have led him to the conclusion thatthe
two components of Alpha Centauri,
much as they differ in brightness, are
really nearly equal in weight. To-
gether they are twice as heavy as our
sun. 1t seems to follow from these
facts hat one of those twin suns is
losing its light, and in the course OF
ages may become only a gigantic

will still continue to blaze with solar
splendor.-Youth's Companion.

s.

Jim's duty to keep the engine supplied
with water, and when they happened to
be near a river or spring his work was
light: but if they were thrashing at
considerable distance from water-aS
was often the case-he was taxed to his
utmost to keep up the supply.
During the scason-that is, from the
time they began to thrash out the grain
in July TO October or November-they
were very busy. Days commenced with
the light, and only ended when it was
too dark to see. Often they worked
as many as II or IS hours a day, and
it seemed to Jim that he had only
touched his bed at night when it was
time to rise.
There were several thrashers in the
neighborhood, and competition was
keen; and this very competition made
them accept jobs that would other
wise have been refused. y farmer
would want his rye thrashed one
week and his oats the next.
and his wheat the next and often
he would not have more than 100 or
200 bushels of either. As the machine
was capable of thrashing from 1000 to
1000 bushels in n day, this necessitated
a constant moving from one farm to
another. Some days they would thrash
at as many as three or four places, and
more than half the time would be con-
rumed in moving.
Naturally this made a sharp cOmpe-
fition for large jobs. The farmer who
had 5000 or 1000 bushels of wheat to
thrash was an object of interest to the
owners of machines. and they APP
