I've worked 50 awful hard. amt plowed

The teams all right; the grounds a-work-

The fields a-needin' plowin', too. You'd

I'd keep 'em goin' lively, bot, by jing,
lest can't do It. When turn around
Down at the other end, there, next the
house,
Or stop BIT to clean the shovels off,
Jest like as not I'll fool around and take
Three times as longs l really ought to do.
A fellow shouldn't act jest this way
An waste the whole endurin' afternoon
An keep 1ookin' all the time to where,
Down to the house aerost the pasture lot,
She's visitin' our folks.

On the day when, az tradition has 1t,

relieved his feelings-or excited them
by declaring the weather "besstly,"
lawful" or "horrid.' So on this very
disagreeable morning, he psttered out
and brought in tie paper soaking from
it's morning bath. and. after glancing at
the headlines, dried it on the oven door

A COMSTOCK INVENTOR.

Virginia Enterprise: A patent has
been issued to Colonel j. A. Conboie
of this city for the superlative hand
holder, shsper and bleacher. The ap-
pliance is to be used in the undertak-
ing business. After death undertakers
often have difficulty in STRENGTHENING
out the fingers of dead person, and it
is for this purpose that Mr.. Conboie's
invention is intended. The hands are
put in frame and cover goes over
them which keeps the hand straight.
While they are in the frame fluids are
put on which prevents them from turn
ing black. and the danger of fluid get
on the garments of the dead is pre-
vented by rubber NIT which covers
the frame. 1t is also designed to dc
away with the straps and other ap.
pliances now used to hold the hands
on the breast, and the frame can be
adjusted SO the arms and hands can be
held in any position desired. Mr.
Conboie has had his invention before
