DEPENDS ON PLACE OF BIRTH.
Just Because One Has Seen Snow One
May Not Know All About
Everything.

When the young man from Florida came
20 live in New York ne woke up one morn
ing last winter and, going to the window,
he looked out on Wnat was to him novel
scene. 1t was a snowstorm, the first he
had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes, he ran into the
street. He stopped and gathered handfuls
OF snow and threw them in the air; he
jumped into drift and sent it flying with
his feet; he finally lay down and rolled III
tall this time shouting and laughing at
the top of his voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered to
watch his antics went up to him and told
HIM how his mother used to cure fits and
volunteered to try it on him.
Il haven't any," the young man said.
What's the matter with you, them"
Why, don't you see the snow"
Yes, see it. What of it? have seen
it before"
"Well, haven't" said the Florida young
man.
What! You never saw snow before?"
asked the astonished questioner.
Never. Seems strange to you, don't it?'
1T beats any sample of verdancy l ever
ran across"
ooh, don't know" unused the Florida
cracker, according to the New York Mail
and Express. ''Did you ever see an alligator
eating black boy? No? Well, you are
not so many, after all. l have seen it many
times" And, throwing a handful of snow
down his shirt collar, he pursued his joyous
gambols..

In recent letter to DIR. Hartman
Congressman Botkin says:
My Dear Doctor-It gives me pleas
ure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines-Peruna
and Manalin. l have been afflicted
more or less for quarter of a century
with catarrh of the stomach and con-
stipation. A residence in Washington
has increased these troubles. A few
bottles of your medicine have given me
almost complete relief, and l am sure
that continuation of them will effect
a permanent cure. j. D. Botkin.
Mr.. L. f. Verdery, prominent real
estate agent, of Augusta, Ga, writes:

"It's no use, Dorothy, girl. It's got

She let him go at that, but when he
climbed to his seat in the sulky she
gave him parting word.
Remember the day, father-we
used to call it our 'forgiying day at
home. Think of the good things the
major has done for US, and try to for
give him.
When he was gone she did not know
what to do with herself. With the
burden of the dreadful secret weighing
upon her-the secret which she had not
shared with her father for fear she
should tempt him to forbear from un-
worthy motives-she dared not face
her mother; and Toms CHEEKY whistle
warned her off from the workshop.
She went to the gate and watched he1

He was letting the horse walk, and as
long as she could see him she fancied
When the sulky disappeared over the
final hill she opened the gate and
walked aimlessly in the opposite dN
rection.
Her walk was long one, and it led
her far up the slopes of the great
mountain which walls in the sheltered
valley on the west. Near the cliff line
she had stumbled upon a dell thickly
starred with sweet-scented white
azaleas; and remembering in the
midst of her troubled musings her
mothers fondness for this particular
wild flower, she had filled her arms
with the fragrant blooms.
She came out of the forest at the
foot of the mountain into an open
space which appeared to be an old field
long uncultivated. 1t was in the little
depression between the knoll and the
noun tain, and the Loudon orchard ran
down to it's farther edge. She could see
the roof of the great house above the
trees in the orchard, and thinking to
save time she cut across the old field
toward the road.
In mid-passage she came upon low,
curving mound, grass-grown and half
hidden in a thicket Of old-feld pines.
1t was the remains of an old breast
work, and between the horns of the

try once more to. dissuade him from
his purpose. She came out. opposite
the bent figure in thicket of old-field
pines, and gave little start. of sur
prise when she discovered that the
deliver in her fathers field was Maj
Loudon's grizzled old house-servant.
"Why, Uncle Pete!" she said; what
are you doing here?"
''I's a-doin' whut OF Marse Loudon
sent me ter do, Miss Dor'thy; and rs
a-wishin' eve'y minute dat dishyer
spade brek off short up to de han'le, -
said the old negro.
Then Dorothy looked over the fence
and saw a row of freshly dug post
holes. The major had evidently taken
the law into his own hands and was go
ing to make sure of the nine points of
possession.
"Does my father know you are
here?" she asked.
''No'm, L s'pect he don't. But
reckon he gwine find out fore long. !

t'arin' out dishyer way wild his gun
eve'y minute"
''You needn't be afraid Ny father
doesn't settle his difficulties with a
gun. And, anyway, he wouldn't say
anything to YOU"
The old negro leaned on his spade
and glanced timorously over one shoul-
der toward the dis tant farmhouse, and
over the other at the great house on
the knoll.
''I's gwine tell you somepin, Miss
Dor'thy, but you mustn't never let on
dat | tol' hit. Oh Marse Loudon he been
hearin' dat your pa gwine do dis an dat
an t'other, an he get pow full troubled

Dorothy turned away sick at heart
She remembered something about a
flaw in the title; that there was an
unrecorded gap in the transfers Of the
farm dating back to it's purchase by
some former owner many years before
1t had been represented that the deed
had been lost in the registrars office.
and her father had so far departed
from his cautions custom as to accept
the faulty title.
And now, out of this trivial conten-
ton over a bit of land barely wide
enough to carry the boundary fence
was to grow a monstrous injustice
which was to turn them out of house
and home! Dorothy's breath came
thick at the thought, but she was a
brave girl, and she FASTENED home to
do what she might before it should be
to late.
She found her father in the stable
putting the harness on one of the
horses. There was stern determination
written in every line of the fine old face.
''Where are you going, father?' she
asked.
''To town, to swear out warrant
against Loudon for trespass," was the
curt reply. "He has sent his man over
to move that line fence.'
ooh, father, / wish you. wouldn't!

can afford to be generous on this day
of all Others"
'It isn't a question of generosity;
I'd give him the land willingly if he
needed it, but won't let him take it
when it doesn't belong to him."
''But, father, just think how kind
they've all been to us since we came
here, strangers in strange land. Have
you forgotten how Kate used to come
over and sit up night after night with
mother in that awful time two years
ago? And how the major used to come
twice a day to ask if there wasn't
something he could do for us?''
The hard lines in her fathers face
melted ever so little, but he went on
harnessing the horse.
"No, I haven't forgotten; and I'd do
as much for him and his this minute
I'm not angry, child, but it's matter
of principle. In justice to you and
Tom, and to your mother, am bound
to defend my legal rights
"Please don't go to-day, father
Won't you wait just little while? AS
it stands now the major is the ag
gressor, and I'm sure he'll be sorry il
you'll only give him little time to
think about it."
For moment she thought she had
won. He paused with the bride on his
arm, grasping the horses forelock
Then he shook his head and slipped the
