ished our ninety-seventh quilt since last
November" said Miss Jane Sims of to
lumbia county, Georgia.
"You see, it began in this way: Our
farm is mortgaged and when my brother,
who supports my mother and |, was
taken i'll in the middle of the cropping
season, we knew we would have an extra
hard time to make both ends meet.
Then to make matters worse the drought
came on and cut the crops off until there
was next to nothing to gather. By this
time you may be sure we were worried,
and morning, noon and night 1 tried to
hit on some way might make money.
"My mother has a number of old-fash-
Toned quilts, many of them made by her
mother and given her Oh her marriage.
They are beautiful as old fashioned
quilts go, have all been taken good care
of and never used except on state occa-
sions, and, therefore, are as good as the
day they were finished. Well, one morn
ing during ou- trouble / came in and
found my mother on her knees before
one of the big chests in which she keeps
her quilts. FyEzza
Jane, she remarked, L was think
ing maybe we might get few dollars
for some of these quilts. 1t would be
better than having them packed away

neserres Cansiderate Treatment.

1t Isl claimed by the Chicago police
that they have the original geld brick
man, the first to work this venerable but
still successful swindle upon the guile
less granger, under arrest. The gold
brick man deserves the most considerate
treatment at the hands of the authori-
ties. For about the length of an average
life time he has been standing joke in
the funny papers, and the laughs he has
caused are more numerous than the vic>
Tins he has found.

The capture of 1 500 mules from the
British by the Beers in South Africa
may be rather serious blow to the for
mer owners of the animals; but the cir
cumstance will probably not cause any
overpowering regret among the stock
dealers of Louisiana, Texas and Ala
bama.
