Pickens on sight. But right then IL
Asey had started out to shoot every
man that talked like he mought be for
Stribblin and then voted for the other
man on election day hewould be busy
with that large and, bloody job even in
to this good day and hour.
Well, in the run of years, old man
Asey got so all-fired mad with the
democrats till he lit out and went over
to the whigs-which it come to pass
that the wings didn't to say need him
any worse than the democrats. Now
Asey Stribblin was man like this. If
he didn't see what he wanted he would
ask for it, and then if the gang he was
gallopin with didn't give it to him he
wouldn't gallop no more. If the party
played his way he would play, and if
they didn't he was ready right then
Immediately to throw his hand to the
pack and quit the game. He soon quit
the wings because they wouldn't give
him anything in sight, and then pres
entity he turned out to be wild and
woolly know nothin. He stuck to the
know nothins till they went to pieces,
but somehow he never could getthe seat
of his breeches creased exactly right so
he couldslideintoa fat office. He kicked
and he cussed, and he fumed and he
fused all the days of his life, and
finally come to the pass where he
wouldn't vote for any livin man on
any ticket. Oncst upon a time he got
so furious and felonious mad till he
swore he wouldn't vote for the Saviour
of this lost and ruint world if He was
runnin for president on the prohibi-
ton ticket.
And Asey Stribblin was yet on the
sunny side of sixty when he died. But
at the same time he died for the good
of his country.

The President and Mrs. RckinIey SPena
the Sabbath at Canton.
CANTON. o., Sept. 6.-Mr. and Mrs.
Mckinley are having pleasant little
visit here in their old home. The
weather is delightful, the nights
pleasantly cool and the days not op-
pressively hot. The city is at its best
in appearance, the trees lining the
streets in rich fall foliage, and the
pretty lawns dotted with late summer
blooms.
A drive through these scenes, such
as the McKinleys always take, was ip-
deed delightful experience.
The president went to church yesGer-
day morning accompanied by his aged
mother and her sister, Mrs. Abigail
Osborne, of Cleveland.
The trio rode to the church in
and occupied the old pew from which
Mai. Mckinley was seldom absent
when in the city. The service was in
the First NJ. E. church, of which the
president is a director, and the sermon
was delivered by Rev. DR.. c. E. Man
chester, his old comrade in arms, aud
pastor of the church during McKinley's
last residence here.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley
took dinner with the latter's sister,
Mrs. NJ. C. Barber, and spent most Of
the afternoon at the Barber home.
President Mckinley went to his moth
er's home, chatted with a few neigh
bors who dropped in, and after short
drive returned, took lunch a1d settled
down for an evening at the old home
stead.

ItttIe KnowIedcc.

The following answers are given in
reply to questions asked certain New
Hampshire school at the beginning of

tive, etc.

8. The vice president is the chief
magistrate of New Hampshire.
9. The sun causes day and night;
when the sun turns on it's axis it thus
causes the seasons.

life am willin to put my record be-
fore the church and show down with
any man in the crowd. / am as good
Methodist as any of you, but when /
git good mad l will cuss little unbe-
knowance to myself. Is it agin the
rules of the church for man to engage
in few cuss words when nothin else
would do the case iustice?"
''Why, to be certainly, of course"
says the elder, ''it is dead agin the rules
for member to use cuss words under
any surroundin calamity
"WelI, that aint my understandin of
the situation" says Drury. 81 have
been hearin of cussin Methodists all the
most any of them will cuss a little
when you stir 'em up and git 'eln good
hot. L don't feel like 1 am anything
but jest another cussin Methodist"
''You have got that down all wrong"
the elder went on, land you will have
to read up on the. rules in orderInent to
walk upright and keep yourself in the
fold. Amt you ready now to say you
got wrong, and you are sorry for it, and
won't do so no more?"
Not as anybody knows of, breth-
ren," says Drury. Seems to me like if
a man Jest can't worry along without
cussin little around the edges that is
case in pint between him and the good
Lord. l have found out that my main
est weak pint is for cJlssin, but yet l
feel like 1 am as good Methodist as
any man in the crowd, and hundred
common men couldn't throw me over
board from the Old Ship. Methodist,
Methodist is my name, and Methodist
will l die
But, nevertheless, notwithstandin

same Thing in Politics.

Now old man Asey Stribblin was
about as bad eff in politics as Drury
Griffin was with regards to his religion.
Old man Asey didn't have no trouble
touchin the church, but when it come
to politics he was on the other side
every time the convention come to or
der. He started out in life as a scream
in democrat and stood on that puncheon
for many years. But as time went on
he took a fool notion to run for office.
He went in for high constable first,
but most of the votes went to the other
man and the distance flag futtered
down in Asey's face. He next made the
race for county coroner, and oncst
more luck run from him like shot and
let in the other man, come under the
wire first.
Then presently Asey Stribblin got
sick and sore. He made out like some
body had cheated him outen what was
his by rights. At the same, time the
onlyest trouble with Asey was that he
didn't get votes enough to put him in
the Office. What is so now was so then
and always will be so. The mainest
thing is the votes. Asey thought every
blessed man that smiled at him and
talked kind and pleasant to hin was a
Stribblin man, and then when thevotes
didn't pan out like he had set the fig
gers down he let the sap run up and
talked like silver-tongued idiot. He
heard that old man Tommy Pickens
voted for the other man after talkin
like he mought be for Stribbllp. and

Larkin, that arch impostor and bluff
er, took her hand confidently and
scowled After a moment of intense
scrutiny he asked if she was sure she'd
be willing to have him tell what he
saw. She defied him to do his worst.
In the half hour since he had met
her he had formed some general notions
as to what sort of a person she was,
On these as basis he began, touching
vaguely but confidently on the charac-
teristics of her life, her fortune, her
tastes, and, most of all, her heart. She.
was inclined to treat the performance
as joke.

She laughed a little nervously, and
told him to go on.ssA fter little pause,

'You are leading double life. To
those about you you show only one side
of your nature. Your innermost
thoughts and your true self are as diff
fernt from those you reveal to your
friends as night is from day."
She started to draw her hand away;
then, either from curiosity or bravado,
checked herself.
Half of your life is made up of
great regret that turks in your heart
and will not be lived down. In time,

She bIushed and sprang away. Il

said.

Larkin answered, with a show of fa-
tigue after the terrific concentration
Just endured. She made an excuse to
leave the room.
That's such an easy thing. that it
seems a shame to do it, Larkin laughed
after she was gone. THE average girl
is sentimental, and the veteran of Sc
ries of those complications respect

her that she is leading a double life,'
and she regards herself as a heroine;
speak of "a great regret and her mind

Too Many for Himself.

About the most unhappiest and
changeful man that ever got his washin
done down in the old Panther Greek set
tlement was old man Drury Griffin
which used to run water mill little
ways below the confluence of that his
toric stream. Drury was middlin
good farmer and the most bulliest sort
of mill man, and so fur as I know he
always got along mighty well in regards
to business and the fleetin things of this
vain world. But somehow he never could
get along smooth and easy with the
church. Touchin the church and in re-
ligion Drury was jest simply too many
for himself. He always was a church
man to some extent, but he didn't have
the sticllin and stayin qualities. Conse-
quentially he was forever fiounderin
and floppin around from the fire into the
fryin pan and back again.
He started out when he was right
young man by takin stock with the Old
School Baptists, down at Coal Springs
church. Henceforwards everything
wore along smooth and easy for six
months or maybe little better, but late
along in the summer or early in the fall
of the year they helt the regular three
days meetin at Coal Springs, with din
ner on the grounds and feet washin on
Sunday. Right then and there DrlI1.y
Griffin got his bristles up and kicked
out of the traces. He took up spot
notion to the extent that he didn't be-
Iieve in people washin their feet in pub
lie, and in cold water to boot, and he
wouldn't have nothin to do with the
side show. He didn't make out like he
was smarter than the preacher and he
couldn't quote any Scripture to main
tain the kick. He didn't know for GER
tain why, and he didn't give continen-
tial red. But he jest simply didn't be-
lieve in it and never would believe in it
if he lived nine hundred and ninety
nine years on the earth.
Whereas, the church come together
and sent a committee to call on Brother
Griffin and talk few scatterin grains
of sense into his head if such thing
could possibly be did. But that was all
pluperfect vanity. The more they
talked the higher Drury kicked till
finally at last the committee had to give
him up as a bad egg and a gone goslin.
He still stuck to it that he was natur-
al-born, genuine Old School Baptist.
and as good a member of the church as
urry man on the committee, but he was
dead square agin the feet washin busi-
ness and jest simply wouldn't take any
in hisn. The committee worked and
worried and fumbled and fooled along
with him for two days on stretch and
then reported back the general results
to the church. After some short talks
and scatterin remarks from various and
sundry members they took Drury
Griffin by the nape of his neck and the
seat of his breeches, as it were, and
turned him out of the church and put
up the bars behind him.

lake, in the Adirondaclzs, on Saturday,

went rowing in the morning, Mr.. Par
ler taking a gun with him. Not re-
turning about noon a party wenS in
search of the missing couple, and the
boat was found floating bottom up at
the end of the lake. When Mr.. Par

that the nose was broken and the face
badly disfgured, which seemed to in
dicate that when the gun was dis
charged it had exploded or kicked
badly, and that Mr. Parker had been
knocked overheard and probably over

"Another Cussin Methodist"

By this time Drury Griffin was mad
