the letters At. F. u" above 1t, to dis
tinguish their produce from that grown
by farmers who know not the blessings
of organization. The union is called the
international Farmers union, and, ac-
cording to Secretay E. r. Gates, Of
Binghamton, N. Y, intends to have
branches throughout the United States
and Canada. The membership is to be
confined to those who actually till the
soil. A circular at hand declares that
the farmers union proposes to establish
reciprocal relations with the organized
mechanics of the cities. The union farm
er Will no longer boil his union-grown
potatoes in a non-union-made pot, nor will
he hunt the potato bug in non-union over
alls. In return he expects that the city
housewife will not use her union-made
frying pan to cook non-union-ra1sed ba-
con and eggs. This movement Is Of q
different character than any Of the or
ganizations heretofore started among
farmers, and is the first of it's kind.

dropped out of his shirt. He was very

Mind.


When Mr. Bowser came down to
breakfast the other morning he dragged
his legs ON the stairs. bumped up his
shoulders and had such a look in his
eye that the cat took one glance at
him and disappeared under chair.
Mrs. Dowser realized that something
was wrong, and she didn't have to wait
more than minute before hearing
from him.
You know" he said, as he glared at
her, that | am no hand to complain
and find fault
'Of course not" she replied.
But there are times-there are times,
Mrs. Bowser. when a man is driven to
the wall and must speak his mind.
That time has come to me at last"
why, what is wrong this morning
what do you mean?'
II mean that l have been looking for
a collar-button for the last hour and a
half and that nothing of the sort is to
be found"
mo; l don't believe there's one in
the house."
Il presume not! I presume the two
bushels l bought few months ago
have all been chewed up by the cat or
sold to the ragman! If there's a worse
run house in America I'd like to see
it."

my clothes and go out and make as
good fout as she could. She didn't
hev to, however, Bout half an hour
befo' Carter was to show up a bar cum
down the side Of the mounting to in
Spect my young hawg-pen. In nosin'
round he got tangled up in barbed-
wire fence, and the way he smashed
the empty hencoop an growled around
showed that he was foutin' mad. He
was tryin' to pull that hawg-pe4. down
when Carter appeared and begun his
usual CROWN we heard him sayin'.
"'Zeb White, | axes yo' to hev pity
on a sufferin' fellow-critter and cum
out and face me. I've got to hev a tout
or | shan't live week. 1t runs in the
family and | can't help it. My grand
father never chawed up less'n seven
men in a week, and my father licked
every man in Davis county twice over
and then grieved hisself to death be
kase nobody was left to face him.
He was still BLOWN away. when
we heard that bar pass the doah with
growl in his throat and his claws dig
gin deep into the earth. The old wo-
man grInned and picked me right up in
her arms and carried me to the winder.
1t wasn't moolight, but it wasn't very
dark. l could see ST Carter very plain,
and he was jest maxim ready fur mo-
bluff, when that bar sailed in on him.
If Carter thought it was me he wasn't
long in findin' the difference. The fust
cuff the bar made rolled the buffer
over and over on the ground, end
when he got up he wanted to go home
right off. That barbed-wire had got
that bars dander UP, however, and he
was bound to hev circus with some
one. He didn't seem to want to kill
Carter, but to sorter toy with him, and
that toyin' lasted good 10 mint. When
the man finally got away he hadn't
nuthi' but his boots on, and he was so
scratched and bloody that felt to pity
him. The bar let him go and then
walked off hisself, and as the old Wo-
man carried me back to bed she said:

But what story did 81 Carter tell
about it?" l asked.
"Yo' might reckon bout how he pill
piled it on answered Zeb. "He dun
declared that ne and the old woman

cats pitched into him at once, and thet

And didn't you ever meet him and
