The wcll-to-dD farmer OF republican

from n creek about half a mile to the

All he would do when I tried to make
him go forward was to move the other
way, so to beat Mr.. Mule at his little
game | took him out of the shafts and
turned him head on to the cart and
started him up. Then he wouldn't
move either way. but just stood still
and began To kick. Not % o~ne-legged

about n foot or two. according TO the
ground he was on. That gave me an
idea. and ! just stood by and when he

him a little and he went to kicking

Her ndomitable Courage and Saving

One day in the last week of her life
Mrs. Oliphant said: MANY times I

way has been found for me-" The way
was often found by the strengthening
of her own indomitable courage, which
as long as her children were left to
her never seemed to flag; 1t was the
courage of perfect love. says the Fort
nightly Review. But 1t Is certain that
II she had no moral qualities except
courage she could not have toiled on as
she did; a saving n Of humor, q
great capacity to enjoy what was really
comic and everything that was beau
tiful, made life easier for her. and the
great Joy of kindnesses" was one never
absent from her. So that whatever
suffering might be lying In walt to
seize upon her solitary hours there was
almost always q pleasant welcome and

modest drawing room. II the visitors

clothed every subject with life and
grace. her beautiful eyes shone (they
never sparkled), and the spell of her
exquisite womanliness made a charm

beautiful woman at any time Of her
life, though for many years she was a
very pretty one, but she had, as a fam
