"Watch and Pray"

81 never am to disremember the time
when sawed Parson Dick Majors off
at the knees and got two drinks instid Of
one" said old man Hiram Lucas to me
oncst upon another time.
"Recollect, Rufus, that me and Dick
Majors was horned and bred and brung
up on farms ajinin, and had been good
friends from our early youth up to the
present writin. But in the run of time
it would seem like we had come up to
what you mought call forks of the
preacher, whilst went mine as full
blood Lucas and natural-born horse
trader. One day we met up together
in town. The weather was most heIla-
tious cold, and finally at last by some
hook or mercrook got Dick to go with
me for a change of breath. We nomi-
mated our pizen and poured out the
drinks, and then nothin would do Dick
but he must stand by the Scriptures
and offer up short and fervent prayer
before he took little somethin for the
stomach's sake. And in the main time,
whilst he had his eyes shet and was
givin thanks, climbed up around his
drink as well as mine.
Where's my sperits?' says he, when
he opened his eyes and saw the circum-
ference of the calamity.
"'Ask me 10 questions and will tell
you no les says I, but accordin TO
the Scriptures, Dick, you must watGh
and pray-watch as well as pray

He Saved the VaIuabIes.

So far as l know, and as the family
records run, there want any kinnery
between the Lucas generation of people
and the Pickinses. But old man Hiram
and Judge Pickins did favor like twin
brothers in regards to one thing-they
both had tremendous big weakness
for the early runnins of the corn.
One New Year old man Hiram made
runnin trade with his good wife,
which was to the general extent that
every time he bought a quart of sperits
for himself he would buy a new dress
fer her. From what they say the old
man was as good as his word clean
through for II months. Amongst other
family records and relics, Andy Lucas
has got paper which shows old man
Hiram's store account for that particlar
year, and to look at it you would think
he didn't buy nothin much but sperits
and new dresses. All down the line
you will notice these items:
II quart of sperits, so cts.
81 frock for Mandy, so cts.
IL quart of sperits. so cts.
81 frock for Mandy, so cts.
81 quart sperits, so cts.
81 frock for Mandy, so cts"
And so forth and so on all down the
Lille.
But | started out to tell you about
the terrible time when old man Hiram
Lucas driv his wagon into railroad
wreck and didn't save a blessed thing
out of the smash-up but his own life
and "the valuablcs."
The way it come to pass-the old man
hooked up his mule and his one-horse
wagon and went to town. 1t was then
way up into the fall of the year, nearly
in the Christmas. OWN to the stage
of the weather and the season of the
year he had bought a half gallon jug
OF sperits that day and two "new frocks
for Mandy" On his return back home
that evenin it would seem like he got
most ingloriously and superbly drunk.
Consequentially he was 'sleepin it off,
when he got to the railroad crossin, and
the first thing he knew his mule and
wagon had run into a tail-end collision
with a railroad train.
BY some strange hook or crook or
freak of nature, when old man Hiram
come to his senses his mule was killed
dead and his wagon smashed into
indlin wood. But he didn't have a
bone broke, whilst he found his jug of
sperits and the bundle of dry goods safe
and sound.
After supper that night somebody
hailed at the gate, and when went out
to sec, who should it be but old man
Hiram Lucas-which he had left his
wagon and dead mule at the wreck and
was now footin it towards home. He
had jug in one hand and bundle of
dry goods under his arm He told me
to the best of his recollection all about
the smash-up, and then wound up by
sayin:
"Hit was a most hellatious bad scrape
for a white man to drive into, but any
how, Rufus, you will please take no
tice that come out alive and saved the
With that old man Hiram ambled on
down the road towards home with his
jug Of sperits and two new frocks for
Mandy"

Don't YOU remember, Rufus, when
Dave Mullins and Bithy Lester got mar
ried?" says Aunt Nancy, like as if l
didn't have a blame thing to do but
keep the weddin records of the country.
l told her l remembered the weddin
clear as bell-particular the music and
the dancin and the tremendous big in
fare dinner which followed-but to save
my life 1 couldn't recollect exactly the
year and the day when it all come to
pass.
'Well, it was II years ago the third
day of last November since Dave and
Bithy took to miXin clothes for better
or for worse" Aunt Nancy went on.
"And night before last the good Lord
blessed 'em with their firstborn baby,
and boy baby at that. Consequentially
you understand the general circumfer-
ence of the surroundins at their house,
and you will take my word for it when
1 tell you that the outdoinest and most
gonebyest confusionmenti in the history
of Huckleberry Ridge is now goin on
right around there in the Mullins settle
ment.
ITO be certainly the news was ruther
somewhat suddent and surprisin to me
when l first heard about it, cause it did
look to me by this time like Dave and
Bithy never would fulfill the Scrip
lures. And now, naturally of course,
to be there and see their proud looks
and silly ways you would think it must
be the onlyest baby in the round created
world. Now jest betwixt us gals, as it
were, l have seen a whole passle of
babies in my day and generation, Rufus,
and l didn't find nothin so very eXtry
and pluperfectly fine about the late and
the new and the unexpected Mullins
baby-which at the same time it is a
right promisin boy. But yet still at
the same time it is only a baby. and
about like all the rest so fur as could
see with two arms and two legs, and
two hands and two feet, and two ears
and two eyes, and the general marks and
appearments of a plain American baby
boy. And at this late day if it is pleas
ant for Dave and Bithy to take unto
themselves the fatterin, fool notion that
they have got the onlyest baby in the
whole discovered country what's the
difference to us? We know tremendous
well that they are scandalous bad mis-
taken in regards to that"

His Amendment.

AS he came out of the white house
his face wore smile as radiant as the
dawn of pay day. "Pm all right, boys, .
he said, shaking hands all around. "It's
fixed at last. l knew 1 could do it if
could get his ear for minute" You're
in luck" commented an interested
member of the group. "How did you
manage it?" Easy as falling off a
log. I just brushed right by the door
keepers, sailed up to Mckinley and told
him I'd have to be taken care of. He
looked me over moment and said: Go

Yet All Is Well.

"Bithy and the baby are both doin as
we'll as you could expect along about this
time of the year, and in the fullness of
time l reckon Dave will recover. But
for two days and nights it did raley look
10 me like the crazy asylum was right
seriously threatened with his manly
presence" and with that Aunt Nancy
went fumblin and foolin around in her
thanl1y bag after her pipe and tobacco.
"That night when the doctor first made
his landin with the baby Dave looked
like he didn't know which he had better
do-take wings and fly away, or faint
and fall over in it. His eyes got as big
as pair of cups and saucers, and bulgcd
out till bless gracious if you couldn't
of took a stick and scraped 'em off. He
couldn't lie down, nor set up, nor keep
still no way he could fix it. He was in
plum swivel and in everybody's way.
BY daylight next nornin he was out and
gone to the lot tendin to his stock, and to
see him stirrin around people that
didn't know nothin about what had
come to pass would Of thought he was
runnin of a siX-mule farm and had got
three weeks behind with his work.
Before breakfast that mornin Doc
Winters he come over to see what was
what and who was who, and turned in
by the lot lookin for Dave. He didn't
find Dave out there, but he found his
signs, and that was a gracious plenty
to tell the whole story.
snow what do you reckon Dave had
went and done, Rufus? Bless the
heavens if he didn't feed his horse on
cotton seed aud goober vines, and then
Nhirl in and give the cow ten ears of
corn and two bundles of fodder. And
when Doc saw the general signs of the
times all he had to do was to come on
around to the front gate and ask what
Il was-a girl or boy.
''As 1 said before, reckon pore Dave
will recover and come to his right mind
pncst more in the due fullness of time.
And as for Bithy-you recollect what
the Scripture says, Rufus-'She for
getteth her pains and rejoiceth much,
for a man child is horned into the
world"

Old man Hiram Lucas used to tell a
mighty good one on Judge Pickins-
which you understand both of them have
since then throwed their hands to the
pack and went the common way of all
human flesh.
Il have saw the handwritin of many
sundry men, Rufus, but if there ever
was a man that made a plum bust and
fell down on it every time he went to
write, his name was Judge Pickins,"
said old man Hiram in givin me the
story.
"Oncst upon time, 1 recollect, when
I had made big land trade with Uriah
Beverly-wherein, to tell the Bible
truth, had just naturally snapped the
socks off OF Uriah SO smooth and easy

rates, I wanted the deeds and title-
ments fixed up bomb proof, so went
to Judge Pickins and got him to write
out the papers. But then l never did
read them papers clean through. I
never have saw such hand wtitin In
my whole entire natural life. / raley
couldn't have no serious doubts but what
the Judge knowed his business and had
writ everything down accordin to law.
But you see wanted to know all them
things to dead and buried certainty.
So the next time he come round on
the circuit l took the papers to the
Judge and told him I would love for
him to read his writin through and
through with me. He looked at the
papers a few minutes, and then says
to me, says he:
"'Hiram Lucas, did write out them
papers?'
Judge Picl1ins, you did, says I.
"'No mistake about that, Hiram?
says he.
'Sho as gun is iron and God made lit
tie apples saysI.
"'Well, Hiram says he, you will
have to wait till l can throw down about
three or four good, stiff drinks before
can read that writin. l was drunk
when 1 wrote out them papers.
Now as for me, 1 never could worry
the story down without a right smart
sprinkle of salt on it, but old man
Hiram maintained till the last that
soon as the judge tanked up sufficient on
the necessary drinks he read them pa
pers through and through as clear and
easy as you could read plain print.

IN THE RUINS OF PoMPElI.
Evidences of the Commonness o
Slavery Found on All Sides.

O1 tAC OOEn O1
Slavery Found on All Sides.
Evidences of the commences OF
slavery in the time of Pompeii's de
struction are abundant on all sides.
The gladiators were a class Of slaves
trained for lighting and some of the
wall scribblings refer to their cofidi-
ton as one of slavery. Here is the
translation of an advertisement painted
on wall near the amphitheater:
Twenty pairs of gladiators, paid by
Decimus Lucretius Saltius Valeus
prince in the time of Nero, the son OF
Caesar Augustus. and ten pairs of gladi-
ators, paid by Decimus Lucretius, the
son of Decimus Valeus, will fight AT
Pompeii on the 18th, 18th and 18th OF
April"
There will be proper hunting scene
and the awnings will be spread. Writ
ten by Clev-Emilius Clev, writer of III
scriptions; wrote this by moonlight
The gladiators' barracks were ample
for the housing of 1000 or 5000 men
and it is a matter of record that at least
1000 were engaged at one time in the
life or death bats which stretched
ever long festival. The actors in these
murderous sports were 'barbarians"
from various parts of Europe or from
Asia Minor and Africa.
In the Naples museum is bronze col
lar, which was worn about the neck OF

Pompeiian house cellar; on the collar

ming away" I could not help thinking
while looking at this ingenious and
cruel substitute for convict's dress
that it was possible that the poor wretch
who wore it may have been one of the
descendants of the blond-haired Brit
ons brought home by Julius Caesar to
grace his triumph 100 years before Pom
peii disappeared beneath its pail of ashes
and lava.
In the Gheezeh museum, Cairo, one
may look upon the black and shriveled
face of that Rameses whom we know as
the Pharaoh of the oppression. Mum.
mics of other Egyptian kings, priests
and people are common enough. These
primeval men, who far antedated Pom
peii and Rome, stand undecayed in ou1
presence. But Pompeii presents tho
picture of an entire city resurrected
from the dead, with all it's appliances OF
life and means of pleasure, profit, CON-
fort, luxury, vice and sustenance. The
life is gone out forever, but the mumme-
fed city remains-a monument of hui
man ingenuity and human frailty.--N

American Ingenuity.

American ingenuity has always been
wonder to foreigners. We know of no bet
ter illustration of it than is displayed III the
manufacture OF guns. For instance, the re-
peating shot gun made by the Winchester
Repeating Arms Co., New Haven. Ct,
which retails for about $40, will outshoot
foreign hand made guns costing 20 times as
much. This has been demonstrated time
and time again. The leading shots of the
country appreciate this and have put aside
their expensive guns for the less costly but
better shooting Winchester. The large
Illustrated Winchester catalogue is sent
tree upon request
