The next morning two mora Of the men
killed at the Burris stronghold were bu-
ried at another little church twenty miles
away across the hills, and in the after
noon the "buryin' Of the fifth was held
at a third ''meetin house The fu-
nerals were thus held separately ii or
der to cover up, as much as possible,
the fact that all Of the men had been
killed at the same time and in the same
way. Practically everybody in the coun-
ty attended all of the funerals, riding
from one church to the next, and practi-
cally making q three days "buryin' a.
Of it.
The special correspondent hda been or
dered to send a telegram describing these
funerals, and when they were over he
asked the way to the nearest telegraph
Office.
There ain't. none IN the county" said
the saloonkeeper. Quickest way is t.
ride down 90 the Ohio and get totsd
across to Kentuck"
It was an eight miles ride on mule
back to the place where old "Iige'' Nor
ton. the ferryman, lived. His house was
a log cabin built on the edge Of the
river, where high water must have filed

of higher up, where it would have been
safe. because they was a cellar dug az

'Lige" had = wife and many tow
headed, and almost naked children. His
ferry had originally been a dugout, but
now it was so patched and pasted that
n closely resenbled a floating scrap heap.
"Lige himself was a remarkable man.
He said so himself. and he repeated a
hundred tales which were calculated to
magnify him in the eyes Of his custom
ers. He had "ft" on both sides in the
rebellion. He had made and drank hun
dreds OF gallons OF moonshine whisky
He knew the Burris boys and had ferried
them, together with their sister and the
old woman" over 70 the Kentucky
shore the afternoon after the ''killin ="
He wasn't afraid Of tne Burris boys. DE
was afraid of nothing. All this was told
as the leal1y and frail boat was slowly
moving across the dirty brown waters OF
tne river. But apparently the impression
which "Ligef was making was not suf-
fciently strong to please him. So he g.
nally PLAYED his trump card.
Say" he began, I'm jest out tn asy-
lum- I go in mos every year fer a couple
a months I'm dangerous when I'm that
way. Some day III get took out hesh

MoTHEa.s oRlDDLE CAKES.


When mother puts the eriddie on
And rines the breakfast bell.
The way we boys our jackets don
And tumble down peil NELL.
And get around the table quick
And ready TO commence.
just beats the biggest circus trick
You ever saw IN tents.
AT FIRST we bow each little pate
While father says the grace;
Then mother sets a heaping plate
OF cakes at fathers place
Because he has his work to meet
we wait tin he IS through
But Il Is hard to watch him eat
When we are hungry, too.
At last he's done. and SAYS: "Good hy"
To mother with a kiss
And then she makes the batter fly
And that hot griddle hiss.
And then we boys. who had TO wait
For father feast galore
But fast as mother fills a plate
It's clean with yells for more.
tell you what. those cakes are fine
With 'lasses on the top
And buttered over tin they shine
We don't know how to stop.
We stun till mother cries: Land sal1esl
When will you boys be through?
To mn such appetites with cakes
- Is more than ] can do"
Don't take the griddie on. cries Ned.
Il want some more, cries Will
i've only had nineteen" says Fred.
''I m hungry yet, says Phil
p And so we keep our mother sweet
A trying might and main
To bake as fast as we can eat
And she just tries in vain.
At last she brings heaping plate
With: "Boysl This must be all;
As long as 1 can stand and bake
For some and more you'll call.
I don't suppose you think thatI
Am tired and hungry too-w
The batter bowl Is nearly dry
And-well. 1 want a few"
That's just like ma. She never takes
A bit OF breakfast tin
Her boys. who love her griddled cakes
Have had their royal fill,
And / don't blame her either, for
Not wanting cakes each day
And standing hungry on the floor
While we just stun away.
The only trouble eating cakes
Is waiting for enough,
Because one person never balkea
As fast as four can stun.
I'd have four persons bake for one,
And that one would be me,
And then no starving would be done
Between the plates. you see.
