her he was going TO the cemetery, say
ing she believed she would go with him.
81 guess I'll go this morning" he re-
piled. "The girls tell me Josh has took
notion to annoy me by goin in the
afternoon, an i guess I'll let him have
his own way"
After the quarrel of five years before
Josiah had built himself house as
far from that of his brother as pos.
sible, and at his place there was no sigr
of his intention of varying his usua,
custom of visiting the cemetery in the
morning. The girls had worked theil
plans quite successfully, and the
chances were the brothers would meet
AZ place where, for time at least,
they must drop their quarrel over a
spotted pig.
Josiah Walker was kneeling beside
the little marble monument clipping
the dead branches out of rose bush
over his brothers grave, when he be-
came aware that some one was APP
preaching the grave from the other side
of the bush. Glancing around he saw
it was his brother. AS he rose from
his position beside the bush Hiram
paused at the side of the grave opposite
him.
why do you come here at this time ?"
demanded Josiah, thoroughly incensed
at what he considered an imposition.
"And why did you tell my girls that
you was comm in the afternoon" an
swered Hiram. 81 came this morning
hro t,@1I
81 never told the girls nothing of the
kind, and you know it. You come here
at this time to spite me-"
The whole scheme that the girls and
their mother had worked came to Hi
ram in a minute, and stepping a little
nearer he said:
Josiah, the girls told me that, and
now l know why. They can't see any
sense in this quarrel of ours, and want
us to forget it. They thought here at
Charley's grave would be good place
for us to meet. Don't you think it is?"
Without a word of reply Josiah ex-
tended his hand across the grave, where
it met that of his brother.
Hiram" he said, 1--WE have quarreled
for many years. I thought l would
never again speak kind word to you.
but beside the grave where our brother
und comrade sleeps our quarrel should
be forgotten for the time at least. Shall
it be?"
"Why not let it be forgotten for all
time, Josiah? Is a spotted pig worth
the amount of happiness it has cos,
us?"
ut was my pig, Hiram"
NO. it was mine, Josiah"
Lets call it our pig, Hiram, as it
really was?"
That's best, Josiah. Now let's fix
up Charley's and mothers graves, and
then you must go home to dinner with
me, for suspect ma and the girls will
be expecting YOU"

ried out his intention of putting the pig
into his own pen, and in less than "a
hours afterwards he was arrested on
warrant sworn out by his brother.
The case went through the justice
court with a decision for Josiah; when
appealed to the grand jury the decision
was the other way. At retrial the de-
cision was again reversed, and then it
went to the state courts, where ii was
tried time after time, until now it had
reached the supreme court, and Hiram
hoped to have the last decision against
him reversed.
During the progress of the case both
brothers had become heavily involved
in raising the money needed to pay
court and attorneys fees. Hiram's
farm had been mortgaged, his crops
sold to pay the same kind of bills. The
needs of his family had counted for
naught against this legal monster. His
boy had left school that he might take
the place of hired man and so save
that expense, as well as that incurred
by his schooling. The daughters had
done without the clothes they were ac-
customed to. They and their mother
had worked over their old ones until
they would bear no more, and then
came this plea for just $50 more. Every
plea of this kind had promised to be
the last one since the case was first
started, and MA" Walker had finally
rebelled.

In the dark days of '61 three brothers
responded to President Lincoln's call
for troops. They came from a quiet
farm home in one of the northern coun-
ties of Indiana. All of them left home
for the battletields with a mothers
blessing on their heads, but the mothers
heart went out especially to the young
est, "her baby" lie was but a boy of 10
10 whom the hard work of the farm had
always been more of burden than his
frail body could bear, and for that rea-
son he was made much of by the other
members of the family. But men were
needed, her sons thought it their place
to go, and it was not her part to stand
in the way of their duty to their coun-
try.
Month after month wore away. The
mother watched anNiously for each
mail, and was occasionally rewarded
with letter, always from her baby"
He told her of his brothers, of the army,
of their camp life, of their marches and
their battles, but of himself he told her
little except that he was as well as usual.
But the mother read between the lines.
The hardships of campaigning was
wearing away 'hcr baby's" health, and
how she longed for him.
And then one day letter came from
Hiram. His brother, the mothers
baby" was i'll, and they would send
him home to her. She could feel al

No, the case would lave to GO over Sor
awhile, but he wouldn't give it up, he
would teach his contrary brother the

most glad that he was sick for it would
bring him back. How carefully she
would nurse him, and by the time the
war was over he should be well again.
But the mothers hopes were not to be
realized. Her baby" came home to her
only to be taken away again forever.
She watched beside his bedside; she did
all the many little things that only a
mother knows how to do, but without
success. Long before the war was over
they had laid him in the little cemetery,
and his furlough was extended into
eternity.
When the old folks died the farm of
more than 200 acres was left to Hiram
and Josiah Walker, to be divided equal
ly or worked together, as the brothers
might choose. For several years they
farmed their land together, and then
Hiram married. After that the land
was divided, Hiram taking the part on
which the home stood for himself and
his bride, and Josiah was to make his
home with them.
Added to the ties of blood were the
ties of comradeship on the battlefelds
of the south, and they seemed INSOFAR
able. Nothing, ii seemed, could come
between them. They assisted each 9TH

level and it is an acknowledged fact
that the best investments to be
found in the country, are in the
Southern States, very large pro-

The scarcity of money, has been the
greatest drawback to the rapid dc

North grew rich out Of the last war:
it is to be expected that the South
will be benefited by the vast sums Of
money that will be expended in car

Every cloud has it's silver lining,

may bring the necessary funds to

lier nor truer has been said during
this session of Congress than the
reply of Representative Bailey, OF
Texas, to the taunt that he had los,
his head when he holly replied to
what he characterized as ungentle-
manly Interruptions on the part Of
Representative Dalzell, of Pa.
sThat man may lose his temper
under very great provocation, said
Mr.. Bailey, ''is very natural
thing; but men may lose their
tempers and still not lose their
heads. But if in order for a man to
preserve his equanimity and appear
cool he must allow insults to pass
unanswered, then 1 prefer to be
classed with those who lose their
heads. would infinitely rather
lose my head in resenting an insult
than to lose my self respect by sub
hitting to one."
Crowley Signal: War is des-
perate remedy to settle national dis
putes, but sometimes it cannot be
avoided. The United States has
exhausted all diplomatic and inter-
national methods to bring Spain to
a recognition Of our national rights
and of justice and humanity to the
Cubans, but she has rejected them
with scorn and insults. Nothing is
left now but to vindicate the ma
tional honor and the rights Of hu-
manity by an arbitrament Of arms.
Daily Picayune: 1t has been
proposed in the Constitutional Con-
yention to require the ADVERTISE

the present Constitution leaves the
choosing of an advertising medium
to the tax collectors under proper
regulations. 1t is not known
whether the prohibition agar. st the
establishing of monopolies, which is
in the present Constitution, Is to
be stricken out or not; but here is
a proposition to provide in the new
Constitution tor monopolies in the
printing of tax-sale advert sements.
1t is not surprising that any sort Of
proposition is offered in the Con-
vention, since all sorts Of selfish
schemcrs are trying to get their jobs
provided ;or in the organic law Of
the State.
