II know what you all want" said Aunt
Mineryy Ann, with an air Of protest. You

In an tuck der place. l dunno dat any

We'll. anyhow. you told lis one tale the
other day, and you'll have to tell us an
other to make it even. You know more than
one" This was Buster Johns argument.
Please stay to dinner and tell us one,
just one. We are going TO have crab
lsnders." This was Sweetest Susan's plea.
Aunt Minervy Ann looked at the little
girl and laughed. Honey, you know my
weakness mighty we'll. Crablanders! 1

why, they boil sweet potatoes till they
are soft, scrape the skin Off mash them,

them in piecrust and put them in the oven

'Sho nun sugar, honey" inquired Aunt
Minervy Ann solemnly. We amt had no
sho nun sugar at our house sence de bat
Tim start UP
Yes" replied Sweetest Susan, real
sugar. We have a barelful."
"A whole bairlful! Run git de key er
de stoshouse an femme kneel down by
dat bairl an hug it."
The children laughed, and Sweetest Susan
pretended to be going after the keys, but
Aunt Minervy Ann detained her. Don't do
dat. honey. Miss Rachel'd think dat oil
Aunt Mineryy Ann Perdue come yer for ter
say 'howdy' ter de %vittles, stidder sayin'
goodbye ter de folks
She paused and looked at the children seri-
ously. "Ill stay sence l hear you say din
ner,' kaze We don't have too many dinners
at our house, an dem we does have amt
gwine give nobody de dyspepshy. Whar Miss
Rachel? i got sump'n l wanter. tell her,
an den, after dinner. I'll tell you a tale, an
den I'll take my foot in my han an go on
bout my BUSINESSMAN it'll be a long time
more 'fo' you see oil Minervy Ann Perdue."
The children's mother was in her room
sewing. and thither they piloted Aunt Mi
nervy Ann. Then they went to amuse them
selves the best they could until after din
ner. What Aunt Minervy Ann had to tell
their mother must have been very funny,
for presently they heard her laughing so
loudly that they looked at each other and
laughed, too. in pure sympathy. For a very
long time they had not heard their mother
Omaha daily bee., 1899-07-09

laugh so heartily and SO long, and it gave
them pleasure to hear 1t now.
After awhile-a very long while il seemed
10 the children-the tinkling bell announced
dinner, and after that meal was over they
waited patiently for Aunt Minervy Ann, who
was having her dinner in the kitchen, where
she paid Jemimy the highest of compliments
by eating a great deal of everything that
came 10 hand. "'Tain't de yappetite, chile;
it's de cookin'. / use ter blieve dat / could
do sump'n wild de pots an ovens myse'f,
but 20 young folks done got clean ahead
er We oil ones. l hate ter say it, but de
trufe mought ez well be toll, speshually
when 1t can't be hid"
This was the sort OF fattery Jemima ap-
preciated, and she piled Aunt Mineryy AIMS
plate high with the best the kitchen afforded.
Then when the guest had finished Jemimy
pressed her to have something else. and de-
clared that Aunt Mineryy Ann had been
'mincin' an not eatin'.'
Finally. aunt Minervy Ann having swal-
lowed as much as she could. announced her
intention of hunting for the children. but
she didn't have to hun at all. for they
were outside the kitchen door. They would
have been inside but for the fact that they
had been warned that they must not watch
other people while they were eating, neither
at the table in the dining room nor any
where else,
Aunt Minervy Ann wiped her mouth with
the back OF her hand and laughed when she
saw them.

had been a heap er talk bout a damon
min in dem parts, an all dat talk had
been handed Town fer de longest. Brer Wolf
had heard his great g~ran'daddy talkin' bout

lowed dat eff she wuz young ez she use

All de OIL creeturs talked dat way, an de
oil ones TO dem, way back yam when de
creeturs wuz bigger dan what bosses is

Bigger than horses! The children began
to open their eyes and Sweetest Susan snug
gled up to Aunt Minervy Ann with that de-
lightful thrill of make-believe dread that
only children can feel. Aunt Minervy Ann
knew she had scored a point.
Yes, la, Bigger dan what bosses is now.
Dey'd set up cross-legged an run on bout
dat damon min, des like der gr~an'daddies
had done befo' UNI, an des like der gram
chillun done after um. An when de hard
times gun ter pinch UNI, dey start in ter
hunt fer dat dimon' mine. Eff deyd "a
worked ez hard ez dey hunted, maybe dey
mought er been better; anyhow dey'd "a
felt lots better.
"Brer Wolf went off in de woods by his
se'f, an Brer Fox by hisse'f, an Brer Rab-
bit by hisse'f, an dat wuz de way wild all
de yuthers. Dey don't want nobody ter

hunt an dey hunt fun dawn twel dark,
an when night come dey'd dream bout

A COUNTRY WITHOUT A BIRTHDAY.
England Alone Has No National Holt
hnN to Celebrate


day to Celebrate.
There is one country in the world. and
one only, which has no birthday or national
holiday. Nor is that country in some re-
mote corner Of the map-it is England.
Although the queens birthday-May 2l-
is annually celebrated in royal fashion. 1t
is not a national holiday, and EnSlishmen
and women have at last aroused themselves
to the fact that they are quite alone in this
respect.
what day shall we choose for our
nations birthday" they are now asking.
Shall it be the queens birthdsy-or the
day Of her ascending the throne, or any
day which she herself shall name"
There was a movement not long ago 10
bring forward st. Georges day as the
nations birthday, st. George being Eng
lands patron saint.
The birthday Of different countries all
have very good and substantial reasons for
being.
January is Germany celebrates her ma
tional holiday; the day when he king OF
Prussia was first proclaimed emperor OF
Germany and Prussia.
September 2 is Italy's birthday, for it was
the day on which Italy became a united
country.
July is a pet month for national birth
DAYS, ana STARTS OH WIN July i, winch lne
Canadians keep as the date upon which
their present constitution was given.
July Il is Frances national holiday, or
the day the Bastile was taken, and our
own national holiday is July 4.
Mohammedans keep November 10-Mo-
hammet's birthday.
Every country, of course. has its fete
days-often miscalled national holidays"
For example, in England Primrose day,
April 10, is often called a national holt
day, as well as st. Patrick's day in Ire
land, and October "a. which the 1rishman
honors in gala fashion, as Turfcutters' day,
when peat as a fuel was discovered.
The Welsh celebrate Ascension day with
much pomp and circumstance, nor will any
one in that country work on that day, be-
lieving that a fatal accident will cut off
those who go to their daily labor as usual.
May II the Spaniards make merry and
drink to the health of the young king, whose
birthday it is.
Honolulu is said to have more public
holidays than any other city in the world.

A Matter of SOIiCitude to Many
Millions of People.
EIGHTY-NINE YEARS OF AGE, YET VIGOROUS
GOLD MEDAL CONFERRED.

expressing thanks to Monsieur Mariani, &c
will be seen from the above letter, his Holi-
ness has been pleased to graciously confer
a most beautiful Gold Medal upon the scien-
tifc producer OF the health-giving Vim
Mariani.
What a charm there is in the name Vim
Mariani! For three decades 1t has brought
health and happiness to cottsger and king.
Her Majesty, the Empress OF Russia, takes
it regularly as a tonic. and the London Court
Journal is authority for the statement that
the Princess of Wales uses it with best re-
suits.
Health is certainly the desire OF all crea-
ton. To the thousands who have lost ID
or never known its delights, a tonic that will
rejuvenate the spirit and invigorate the body
is indeed a boon of incalculable value.
When the Grip Unfiuenza) is epidemic in
Europe, as also in this country, the medical
profession rely upon the tonic properties OF
Vim Mariani. 1t is given as a preventive
and also in convalescence to build up the
system and to avoid the many disagreeabls
after effects so common with this dreaded
disease.
Vim Mariani brings cheerfulness to the
morbid and depressed; it strengthens the
weary; Gains the nerves when overwrought
by undue eXcitement-in fact, il makes life
worth the living, and is aptly termed by the
illustrious writers. Victorien Sardou, Alex
andre Dumas and Jules Verne, ''Th True
Promoter of Health Elixir OF Life "A
VerItable Fountain Of Youth" Never has
anything received such uniformly high praise
and recognition from eminent authorities.
Those readers who are not familiar with
the workings and the worth of Vim Mariani
should write to Mariani & Co., 80 West 10Th
street, New York, and they will receive, free
of all charge, a beautiful little album con-
tanning portraits of Emperors, Empress,
Princes, Cardinals, Archbishops and other
distinguished personages who use and recon-
mend this marvellous wine, together with ex-
plicit and interesting details on the subject.
This little album is we'll worth writing for;
it is distributed gratuitously, and it will be
appreciated by all who receive it.
