Daniel he'd be glad to acconlrloo;l'e
me. and. as was completely iaaGe'! "'''
from 4O-mile ride that day, Nda o-1'|
too glad to accept his offer. The .sl.:
was lanlly young fellow aboNt a.
years old, and we had hardly Soi -
bed when he called out to his father ~
the next room:
Dad, the strangers got all the bed
clothes!"
As a matter of fact, l simply had ~
share of them, but to quiet Tim FaFt
him some more, and was closing ~.
eyes when he shouted:
bad, the strangers pollin' his elbo"
in my back!" ~.
( I moved further away fro i'm. BIZ
a minute later he continued:
"Dad, the strangers maxim -aces q
mel"
"Look-a-vere, stranger" said 'dad'
as he came 10 our door with q il2h2
candle in his hand: 'Danl has aiiuS p-l
brought I'D as a pet and is kinder tecl'E.
but if yo' don't worry him he's CO
the incest boys in the hull kentry. jest
give him his way and he won't find 'is}E

I gave him his way and al OF Tie
clothes and nearly the whole CT tae
bed. but the old man had hardly lett rs
when the migrate called out pocEishlJ[:
Dad, the stranger says he'll ELL me
when yo' and ma go to slcep!'
did yo' say that, stranger?' asked
the father, as he reappeared at the door
again.
"Why, of course mott" I replied, an
erily. II haven't said single word to
him since we came to bed.
"Wan." be continued, kindly, lest
bar in mind that Dan'l has allus bin
brung up as a pet and don't bother him.
He's a mighty nice boy, Dan'l is, and
VOL say so when yo' know him better.
| was too tired to answer him again,
and for the third time was almost in Tie
land of dreams when that boy broke out
again:
dad, the strangers snorin' and won
let me git to sleep!"
"Danl!" called the squatter il
voice of thunder, land yo', too, stT2E-
ger, if yo' uns don't behave in thar and
let men the ole woman git to sleep TIT
cum in and wallop the both of you."
I said to myself that if he'd come IL
and wallop Daniel for about two hopF2
he could have everything | possessed
for his trouble, and I kept repeating
this over and over to myself and si-l>-
ing off to sleep when that little villain
suddenly planted his two feet a":)iGGt
the small of my back and sent me CIT {
the floor with Il bang that SHOOT, IL
house from cellar to rafter. I lay Nhc:'
1 fell, expecting dad to rush III az
make good his threat, but as he didn'i
appear l finally got up and dressed, and
passed tie rest of the night on two
chairs by the stove, while "Dan'l,' sat
isfied at last, slept the sleep Of the just
and kept up snore the livelong night
which sounded like the growls of a
ferocious grizzly bear-N. Y. World.

Statistical tables yield curious in

the Philadelphia Times. For instance,
10y show that over one-third of the

10 Life. I've seen it in the hospitals. 1t
IS not the patients with the incurable
diseases Or the hopeless cripples who
beg to die, but the young. strong, vital
woman, who hates pain and doesn't

this getting of girl past rs, but not

all The same thing-nothing else to do
Another physician told of girl who
cor 'il;tted suicide and who left note
stating that her reason was that she
was tired of doing the same things over

life had become unbearahle to her.
