The Parson Was Thankful.

The trouble and the fun we had
about Charlie Ellington and his cuss
word brung back to my mind a good
one they used to tell on old Parson
Brittenham. 1t came to pass way back
there in them plain old days when peo-
pie had to ride on stage coaches instid
Of railroad trains as they do now.
And from the way the story come to
me. it would seem like old Parson Brit
tenham and Mai. Wash Collins had
beth took the stage coach for Bells
Landin, and from there they would
take the steamboat for New Orleans.
1t would likewise seem that both of
them had some powerful pressin bust
less down the river. The major had
shipped whole passle of cotton
some fifteen TO hundred bales-and
he was lookin for the price to tumble
every day. The old parson was goin
off to marry his third wife, and nat
urally of course time was almighty
scarce and precious with him.
The weather was wet and rough, and
the road was most outlandish bad. To
make it still worse for the old parson
and the major. the driver had patched
I'D a terrible sorry team of horses. They
didn't have any speed to speak of, and
they wouldn't pPll lick only when it
suited them. They would run away
poin down every hill. and then stall
nd stop goin up hill. The more the
driver ripped and snorted and slashed
the worse they got.
Way along late in the shank of the
eveRin they run into a scandaIous bad

ference with me. So far as l am
concerned old man Lish is plum welcome
to the wilder, and so far as everybody is
concerned the wilder is more than well
come to old man Lish so long as life
shall last. You must recollect 1 never
said that had spit on the bait and set
my hook for the Wilder Barker. But
l lowed in truth and soberness that she
was the onlyest wilder woman in my
general acquaintance which l would
marry IL l was necessary compelled to
go forth into this wide and wicked
world oncst more and tangle up with
another bunch of ribbons and calico.
Cause why? From the simple fact
that her first husband-NewberryB Bark
er was his name-went off somewheres
out west two or three years ago and
about the next news we got from him
he had been hung by the neck till he
was dead for stealth horses. Conse-
quentially l don't reckon Misses Null
ligan, as she is now, will be forever and
eternally throwing it up to old man
Lish about what a marvelsome great
and good man her other husband was.
In general way the wilder was right
tolerable good woman anyhow, and,
by gracious, she can't make no volup-
titus big brags about Newberry Barker.

swamp, where the read was sloppy
and soft enough to bog saddle blanket.
The wheels went down in the mud,
and the horses come to dead stop.
The driver he whipped and he slashed,
brit there they stuck and there they
stayed. In the main time Maj. Wash
he was thinkin about that big pile of
cotton, and half crazy to pitch in and
cuss out creation-which. of course,
he would ruther not do that right there
in the presence of the good old parson
whilst Parson Brittenham, he was
thinkin about the various and sundry
felonious good things he was missin,
and confirm his remarks to Bible Ian
guage as best he could.
Finally AT last about first dusk they
heard the steamboat whistle BLOWN
for the landin, seven miles away, and
the stage coach stuck there in the mud
and water. Well, Maj. Wash he jest
simpIy couldn't hold in no longer. He
Jumped up and down two or three
times in the same place, got red in the
face, and said, with loud and furious
voice:
"Dam them horses!"
The old parson smiled the most
broadcast and sympathetic smile, made
a low and heavy bow to Maj. Wash and
said:
thank you, major-thank you, sir"

Too conscientious,

THE thing for you to do, madam, -
said the attorney, ''is to bring suit
against the woman for alternating your
husbands affections. She has means
and you can, undoubtedly, recover heavy
pecuniary damages from her.
Would 1 have to put money value
on my husbands affections?" inquired
the client.
Certainly. And you need not fear to
make the figure very large"

THE SEASONS FASHIONS.

Wells to be fashionable must be plain,
the simple length of soft Brussels net
being one of the most approved.
A eorn-colored hat with black lace
trimming is pretty, also the same col
ored hat with very full wreath of blue
corn-fowers.
Skirts are very full at the back and
are gathered over cords and drawn
closely, so that the back shows point
ed design of one cord above another.
Novelty hats are shown in braids OF
every imaginable color. Red is exceed
ingly popular, and when trimmed with
profusion of soft black lace or chiffon
is one of most stylish of the milliner's
creations.
The surplice front is gaining in IA
vor, and when carefully adjusted is be-
coming to almost all figures. For stout
ladies it seems to reduce the bulk, while
for slender ones it can be left slightly
loose and is very pretty and graceful.
The decline of the shoulder cape is
said to be assured. How true this may
be one can scarcely state authoritative
ly, but from all appearances this form
of garment is too useful, and has made
too many friends to be given up very
soon.
Soft belts of silk or velvet are used
and to these some of the rich buckles
are fastened. One of the novelties is a
belt of yellow velvet with three very ele-
CANT cut jet buckles, one in front and
one on either side. At the back there
is large rosette bow of leather.
Among the popular belt buckles are
those of oxydized silver with jewels
There are also handsome plain ones
and provident women who have put
away their old-time trinkets may now
bring out their old-fashioned buckles
and wear them with a great deal OF
pleasure.
Artificial flowers are extravagantly
beautiful. They are exceedingly nat
ural and very rich looking. Cheap
flowers are short-'ived possessions
They come apart with the slightest
dampness, and rumple almost if one
looks at them.-N. Y. Ledger.

WAR AND WARRIORS.

It is believed that a ton of lead is
bred in the form of bullets for every
man killed in battle. Statistics of Eu-
ropean wars go to show that from 5000
to 10000 shots are fired for every per
son disabled.
The President, since his Inaugural
ton, presented to John CARRIER, an old

I'll, Ind, camp stool which he used
during the war of the rebellion, and
CARRIER is probably the proudest and
happiest man in the Hoosier state.

"Ain't worth a Dam Now"

Mother went out the other day, pc
rusin around and about through the
settlement lookin for a settin of fresh
turkey eggs. And bless your sweet
soul, honey, when she returned back
home late that evenin she was foamin,
furious mad, with her fightin clothes on.
For my natural born life 1 couldn't tell
where the storm had riz or what in the
thunder was the matter, anyhow.
Rufus Sanders" says she, Il want
you to mount your horse-right now
immediately-this minnit-and go over
to the mill and give old man Charlie Ell
lington the worst and most severest
beatin that any white man ever had to
tote outen these woods"
Now, to tell the Bible truth about it,
want to say I want out lookin for any
little odd jobs like that this spring.
In the first place me and Charlie Filing
ton went to school together. took many
and many a lickin together, run horse
races together, and went gallin together
back there in the golden days of boy
hood. And henceforwards after that
we have been neighbors and fellow
citizens and friends together for to these
many years. And. what is more, old
man Charlie amt no SLOUGH for a man
himself, and if he ever takes a lickin
from one mortal man you can bet all
your free silver that the other fellow
will be kept monstrous busy in the
mainline.
what in all this green and naughty
world is the matter with you and
Charlie Ellington, mother?" says l.
He cussed-he cussed right 1T me
that's what" says she, and bless the
heavens if her eyes didn't flash the ma
tive fire of her righteous wrath.
What was Charlie cussin about,
mother?" says I.
"Nothin in particular" says She
"only for pure meanness, I reckon. 1
met mp with the wicked old wretch in
the road and asked him in kind neigh
BORN way how he was gettin along over
at the mill. And what do you reckon
he said:
"'You can tell everybody over in that
end of the settlement that amt worth
a dam now-straight goods, Misses
Sanders-I jest simply amt worth
DAM And with that he driv on, but
ii had only been clost enough l would
of spit in his face, so help mel"
Mother, dear, sweet mother" says
/, soft and gentle as could, don't you
recOllect the tremendous heavy foods
we had last week, and don't you recol-
lect that the waters fell in such great
gobs and sluices till they washed down
Charlie EilingtOn's mill, and then even
washed away the DAMP"
Eyes, Rufus, l did hear the news
about that
Nov, then, it seems to me like Char
lie has but only told you a sad and sor-
rowful truth in his own blunt way.

worth a dam"

little and cried little, and then went
to bed and soon dropped off to sleep.

CURED OF CHOREA.
How q WeII-knOwn Young Lady of
Du Page Was Freed from St.
Vitus' Dance.
From the American, Newark. o.


Miss Francis E. Barber, daughter of Mr..
Franklin c. Barber, of Du Page, Ills, who
is one of the best-known citizens of Du Page,
for the past year has been in pitiful condi-
ton from chorea, commonly called st.
Vitus' dance. Miss Barber is music teach
er, and overwork and highly nervous tenn
permanent brought on the disease. The best
physicians were called but they could do
nothing for the young lady, and she got so
bad and the spasms became so fierce at times
that it often required three or four persons
to hold her. The contortions of her face at
such times were fearful to behold and filed
those who saw her with horror. While Miss
Barber was thus suffering, with no seem
ing prospect of relief, the distracted father
and mother heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and as last resort they determined to
try them on the daughter.
After taking less than one box of the pills
the spasms ceased and the twitching of the
face became less and less violent. Before
four boxes had been used all signs of St.
Vitus'' dance had gone. her health was r, re-
stored, and to-day she is one of the health
lest and rosiest girls in Du Page.
In six months from the time Miss Barber
began to take the pills she was able to re-
sumo her occupation as music teacher, and
never has felt the slightest symptoms of the
old malady. The young lady is the niece
of r. E.. Barber, Esquire, the well-known
lawyer of Joliet.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n. Y, for
so cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.
