II Old Man Tells the stranger All
Abou 1t.
eff ye don't want tibet yere head of
yourn blown plum off, ye'd better git a
move on"
I was eating my lunch by the road
side, and at this abrupt announcement
I turned my head and discovered a long
rifle protruding from a clump of bushes
that were growing near the roadway.
I made haste to get out Of the way,
and making my way to where the party
stood asked the meaning of it all.
"Hist!' cried the party with the
gun as he cooked the weapon "Year
he comes"
I glanced down the road and discov-
cred a man unconsciously approaching
the ambush.
"Good heavens!" l gasped. "Do you
mean to commit murder?'
"Ye keep tibet year trap Of yourn
shet," Missed the man, cor I'll pepper
ye."
Frozen to the spot with horror at the
tragedy to be enacted before my very
eyes, wishing to warn the man ap-
preaching to his doom and yet not dar-
ing to, / closed my eyes and waited with
a chill at my heart for the report of the
| rife.
1t did not come. The party in the
road went by whistling, and opening
my eyes l discovered the old man with
the rifle making silent motions of dis
gust.
Stranger, said the old man finally,
"this year is a feud.h
"And you were after his blood?"
"Thet's hit. l want buckets of blood.
I'm after gore. l want ter lay right
down an wallow in hit. This year feud
has bin runnin fer over 20 years, an hit
grows more bitter every year. Hit start
ed in Nor Caroliny, an we tore up the
sod there so tibet the neighbors made Us
git out cause we wuz %distroyin the
peace of the neighborhood, so we kim
out year ter Californy ter fight hit out"
How did it %start?" ] asked.
WAL, old Spinks-thet's him goin
down the road yander-stepped on my
dawg's tail, all then I threw a dead
cat down his we'll; then he heaved a
rock at my shack, an then I slapped one
of his brats; then he tied a knot in my
cows tail, an then l stuck a pitchfork
in his old hog; then he kicked hole in
one Of my pumpkins, an I evened up
things by THROWN n of his hensi in the
zanja, an SO hit went a-growin bitterer
IN bitterer every day until now nothin
but blood kin wipe hit out"
$50 you laid for him?"
"Thet's hit. An ye saw how he funk.
ed, gol drat himi No one but a drafted
coward would hev left his dawg at
home"
"Then you were after his dog?"
"Ye bet! I wuz goin ter hev tibet
dawg's blood or die in the attempt"
At this point a yellow u came yelp-
ing down the road and crouched at his
feet.
"Look at himl' yelled the old man
as he danced wildly around. "Look at
him! He's gone an kicked my dawg!
Tibet settles hit! This yere feud has got
ter be fought out to the bitter endi'
He thrust a shell into his gun and
shouldered it.
"See here" said !, taking hold Of
him and trying to detain him, "don't
be rash"
"Let me gol" he howled. "Let me
got This yere insult has got ter be
wiped out with blood, I tell vel Jump
in coyotes, I'm goin right up ter his
shack-yes. sirl I'm goin right up there
an make faces at his ole woman!"
As there has been no report Of any
sudden deaths in the San Dimas district
the feud must still be going on.-New
York Sunday World.

FASHIONABLE MILLINERY.
Hats and Trimmings Prepared For tho
Coming Season.

Hats aud Trimmings Prepared For tho
Coming Season.
Hats are not tall, but nevertheless there
Is room for a great deal Of trimming on
them. Long ostrich plumes have returned
to favor and are used in profusion, but are
not placed in an upright position. They
are laid along the brim or curl around the
crown, often starting from the front and
passing down each side, the junction Of
the stems in the middle being covered by
q drapery of lace or velvet, decorated with
q jeweled ornament.
The stem of a feather should never be
pierced by the needle in fastening 1t on
the hat, as that does 1t much damage. In
buying ostrich plumes it is always desir-
able to purchase as good ones as can b.
offered, since those of the best quality can
be used over and over and recurled many
times, while poor and cheap plumes are
not at all durable.
Flowers, especially those made Of vel
vet, are exceedingly fashionable and are

made in such a way that they will not i'm
mediately go out of fashion. The princess
style never declines from favor. 1t Is dig
nifled and increases the slenderness Of the
figure and Is therefore specially suitable
for women who are no longer young.
The picture shows a gown of green vel
vet, having a trained skirt with a pulled
tablier, the puffs divided by jet passemen-
terie. The coat bodice has a short basque,
with a pointed yoke of velvet at the back
and coquille revers in front, which open
over a vest of black lace over mauve silk.
The wrinkled sleeves match the tablier.

What They should and Should Not Wcs
An Ia.I- Yur.1l

What They Should and Should Not wcas
to Look Well.
Women Of middle age, with grown
daughters or even infant grandchildren,
are often at a loss how to dress. Their
teeth, their hair, their complexion, show
no deterioration, their figure remains i'm
peccable; yet they are no longer young.
Old ladies' styles are quite unsuitable,
young ladies styles are not digniled
enough. A certain repose and reserve are
necessary, and the exact limits Of these are
only to be decided by good taste and clear
sightedness. To dress too youthfully is
simply to exaggerate, in appearance, the
actual number of ones years, making EVIL
dent the lack of charms which have q n
ished rather than the presence of charms
which have been retained.
In gloves, shoes and underwear there n
no question Of age. Whatever Is pretty
and comfortable, suited to the purse and
person of the wearer, Ia correct. In mors
conspicuous attire, however, 1t " necessary

The Arrival Of the Millennium.

The date of the advent of this happy
period has so often been fixed by proph-
cts of many creeds, and there has been
so many disappointments, that a grave
doubt of its reality has gotten in the
minds ever of the credulous. But those
acquainted with the facts are aware
from personal observation and expert
ence that Hostetter's Stomach Bltters IS
an admirable means of preventing and
remedying kidney and bladder com
plants. Liver and malarial trouble,
constipation. sick headache, nervous
ness and nausea are all overcome by this
beneficent regulator and tonic. When
appetite is impaired and sleep broken or
unrefreshing, a wineglassful shortly be-
fore meals and before retiring will do
much to remedy the difficulty.
