"Swapped SDit" and Mcde Tn.

You ought not to think it, but that was
the last time / ever saw Miss Callie
Hickman in the flesh. The next time l
saw her she was Misses Bob Travis, and
as shy of me as a three-year-old not
even bridlewise. You see / didn't go
over to the Hickman place to renew my
acquaintance right away Immediately
the next morning, and first thing l
knowed Bob had been, over there and
braced the game oncst more. 1t would
seem like he was meek and full of re-
pentance and so was she. Whereas they
swapped a little spit, as it were, and
made up.
But will die believin that / missed
about half of my unworthy life jest SIM
ply because old Spot kept me so everlast-
in busy pullin and drivin and stayin in
the road that night. Soon as possible
l pitched in and swapped that horse
off. And TO be blamed square and hon
est, ! got the daylights swindled out Of
me in the trade. But the more / thought
about the scandalous, dirty way in
which old Spot treated me that night, the
madder | got, till l simply couldn't
abide with him any longer.

/ am always tremendous glad wnen
somethin puts Aunt Nancy in mind oil
somebody else, and didn't do blessed
thing but lay low and listen.
"One day along in the Christmas l
went over to spend the day with the
wdder, and whilst there | couldn't keep
from taking notice of her old gray
mule, which they call his name Pete.
You recolleet that mule, Rufus, and you
recollect when old man Watts Casey
bought him as four-year-old. That
was 90 years ago, come next fall, and
at that time Pete was a beauty, but as
wild and tricky as they ever git to be.
"You will likewise recollect, Rufus,
that inside of three months from that
time we had sad and suddent funeral
in the settlement. Old man Casey was
drivin Pete to his buggy one day, when,
bless goodness, the mule got skeered
and run away and throwed the old man
out and broke his neck.
"Well, then, after that the wilder she
kept Pete, and for years and years he
was mighty good mule for general
farm work But he is now old and
plum played out-don't scarcely yearn
his salt, to say nothin about corn and
fodder. So I UP and ash the widder
why in the round world she didn't sell
old Pete dirt cheap on a credit, or give
him away, and be shed of him.
"And what do you reckon she said,
Rufus? She lowed that whilst Pete
was old and stove up and no account for
work. somehow she felt like she was
bleedged to keep him and love him for
the good he had done.
"At onest I remembered that Pete
killed old man Casey. Now whilst
don't reckon the wilder meant it in that
way, what she said hit me in funny
place, and it was a good time of year for
Inc to laugh little, anyhow"

So Busy and So Mad.

As we driv off towards home old
Spot riz on his hind feet two or three
times, and then it did look to me like
he would jest naturally split the earth
wide open and scorch the native air. 1t
was then nine miles home, or maybe
little better, but old Spot bit off 80 or
40 feet at every stride. Up hill and
down hill-over the rough places as we'll
as smooth ground-he went down after
his knittin like it was race for blood
and death, and all the pullin could
do but only helt him smooth and steady
in his wild and furious pace.
Now, when l have got TO go some
where's in big hurry or by my lone self,
do love fast horse, and old Spot didn't
shake my nerves little bit. Iknowed,
dadblame him, that could ride as fast
as he could travel. Yet there was one
time when didn't want to ride so in
fernal fast. Miss Callie had told me she
would he my own and onlyest, and
promised to give me the proof on our re-
turn back home-which ON that partic
ular night the proof of the puddin was
to hug and kiss the girl.
But, dadburn the luck, | didn't have
no chance and no time to do blame
thing but hold that horse on the ground
and keep him in the big road. couldn't
spare SO much as one hand, and by
gracious needed both eyes on my work
to keep from runnin into a snashup.
thought maybe after goin few miles
at that furious lick old Spot would slow
down and give me little chance topay
my doublebreasted regards to the most
loveliest girl in the settlement. But not
him-narry time oncst. Instid of that,
it would seem like he got fresher and
fresher, and faster and faster with every
mile he bit off on the way towards
home. How / did wish from the bot
tom of my heart that somebody would
come along with a lazy mule-or even
blind steer that would work in har
ness-and make pass at me for swap.
And what was worse and still more
of it, Miss Callie she was skeered nigh
unto death. She didn't say nothin, but
| stole look at her here and there, and
bless the heavens if she want as white
as a sheet. | was too dadblasted in
fernal busy drivin that fool horse to do
anything more than talk little, and
the girl was too bad ratified even to talk.
She was lookin to be throwed out and
| killed every minnit. and l don't really
think she caught her breath more than
oncst in every two miles. Consequent
tally she wouldn't say she loved me
she wouldn't even say she thought
more of me than anybody else-dad-
blame it, wouldn't say nothin.
When we got to the Hickman place, l
driy up to the front gate, and whilst old
Spot was dancin and prancin and plung-
in back and forth, Miss Calle picked her
chance, jumped out of the buggy, said
good-by in hurry and scooted in the
house.

Railroad Laws In japan,

1t has happened in Europe that indi-
viduals have thrown themselves before
an advancing train in the hope of re-
covering substantial damages from the
railroad companies. In Japan such an
attempt would be futile. The japanese
argue that, since the train cannot get
out Of the way, men must, and the IA
ther of a child killed by an engine was
fined heavily for allowing his child to
cross the line while a train was ap-
preaching. In like manner the own
er of a cow was punished for allowing
the bovine to commit suicide by charg-
ing an express.-Chicago Chronicle.
