I wuz gettin' sorry fur E1nathan.
He looked as if an earthquake he'd
skaired him an shuk him all to pieces.
But I dissent give in till I he'd won
the battle. Iswaited a minute or two
an then axed in solemn tones:
"Elnathan Jacobs. air them turkeys
an chickens mine-or y~our'n?"
1t wus powerful hard fur him to
give up. But my v wuz on him. an
the hole it made in his f~eelin's kept
gittin' bigger an bigger / stood 81
lent, lettin' the idee work in his mind
The stiffness worried him. fur he
wriggled wus than ever, an the clock
licked so loud it seemed to be sayin':
"Mine-your'n! Mine-your'p."
At last he stopped wrigglin. an
a pleasant look stole into his face.
He got up out of his cheer. an come
up to me an said so soft-like that it
sounded like the Elnathan that court
ed me IS year ago.
"They amt your'n, Sary Ann, an
they amt mine; they're our'n. The
farm, an the house, an the cattle,
an the hogs, an the money in the
bank-they're all our'n. You shall
hev a check-book, Sary Ann, an draw
what you want any time. I kin trust
you" An if you will believe it, he
up an kissed me!
Tn goin' to hev the SEWN society
next week. Malviny has company i'm
the parlor every Sunday night, an it
looks as If Frank Haines would claim
her one of these days. The old clock
ticks away, but it doesn't say Mine

way, "All-our'nl" I think it's lots
better than to hev things mine an

AS MUM AS OYSTERS.
But Germany Would Not Favor Nego-
tiations at Washington.

Berlin, Jan. 11.-There seems no lon
ger to be any doubt here that Germany
decliEId the United States proposal to
submit the articles in the China agree
ment relating to indemnity and COM
mercial treaties to a conference to be
held at Washington or elsewhere, but
it is believed that Germany agrees to
the new American proposals for accel-
Grating the negotiations at Pekin. The
German foreign office, answering a di-
rect question, admitted that the Ger
man answer has been sent to the United
States, but declines to state terms, leav-
ing them for the Washington authorities
to publish. 1t was intimated, however,
that the answer was not favorable.
The exchange Of views between the
various interested cabinets has been
completed and the matter is now re-
garded as ended. The foreign Office does
not believe that the United States lays
great weight upon the proposition or
will press the same.
