wall, about the time Herm' had
things q comm his way some horse
jockeys dropped in on him, an got him
all mixed up so'st he didn't know wheth-
er he was runnin' saw mill or stock
farm. One Nv 'em said ter Herm,
I'll bet | can tell how old yer nil Is
by lookin' at the saw teeth Ar then
'Herm' said jest as the fellers was goin'
away, Say fsllers stay ter the mill rSce.
so they waited around fur couple Nv
hours an finally asked him how long
afore the race, an 'Herm' said mebby
yer can tell by lookin' at the saws
teeth They all had a good laugh an
then 'Herm' invited them in ter supper
an ter Otay over night an then was
when THY got acquainted with Violet,
an one Nv 'em was mighty good lookin'
an good story teller ter boot, an he
made quite an impression on the hull
family"
81 see-I see," repeated the editor,
"but go ahead with the story"
1.-THE good lookin' jockey, what was.
tellin' stories was about the age Nv Vio-
let an naturally she was deeply inter-
ested in his stories, especially one NV
'em which was about a saw mill. The
story ran like this. 1t was over in the
adjoinln' country he said, that there
lived a. mill owner who had a smilin'
wife an beautiful daughter same as
'Herm' had. Yer see he was maxim a
good start with his story" said Uncle
Bill. 81 guess he thought that by win
min over Mrs. Shaler he would have
3 to 1 chance, or mebby odds even bet
ter than that, and then he said: 'Shaler
this mill was situated about as yours
Is, but there was a legendary tale afloat
that it was built over a spot where
some ROBBERS had hidden pot Nv gold
an one Sunday the miller, his wife an
daughter went out under the old mill
an pried Up big fiat stone hopin' ter
find the gold, which they didn't. He
described the spot and surroundings SO
infinitely that the Shalers begun ter
imagine that it was their mill whers
the gold could be found, an resolved the
next mornin' ter hunt fur gold. So
early the next mOrIin' they all went out
under his mill, but the good lookin'
jockey an Violet Wall, they worked
hard among the rocks fur an hour or
more, but didn't find any gold
And when they got back to the house
found Violet and the jockey gone" in
terposed the editor
AS soon as the folks were at the mills
the jockey told Violet that he had told
the story ter git the ole folks away so'st
he could spark her, an she like the
good girl she was didn't want ter make
him feel bad, fur the want NV spark,
SO she gave him match an told him
ter chase over in the timber, build a
fire an take his sparks out wv that"
Then she did not elope with him
after all" said the editor reproach-
fully
Never heerd as she did," remarked
Uncle Bill, that jockey Teller got left
at the pole, like lots NV fellers would If
the girls only had the sense that Violet
had
And as he started down the street 1c
mumbled, ga romance at the old mill,
guess I'll have that copyrighted"

Cheap and Coed Lands.

There never has been a greater de-
mand for good land and cheap land
than at the present time. This &C.
nAnd in past years has always been
met Dy the opening up of large tracts
Of new country under the homestead
laws. The supply of this class Of lands
is now practically exhausted at a time
when the demand is greater than ever.
The next things available are the unim-
proved tracts Of land held by corpora
lions and syndicates in large bodies in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Missouri and Arkansas, these lands be-
ing offered at prices ranging from 81
to SIS per acre, some of them timbered
tracts and much of them prairie and
range country where the rainfall is
more or less uncertain. We are in re-
ceipt OF scores of letters from parties
wanting to know where it is best to go.
We answer these inquiries in a general
way by saying: If you want abundant
rainfall. mild climate, long working
season, inferior soil and chance to
grow any kind of fruit, go south. If
you are young and tough, enjoy hard
work, can stand 40 below and are will
ing TO wait fifteen years till you can
dig farm out of the stumps, go to
northern Minnesota or Wisconsin. If
you will go with a little good stock
and are willing to live the life of a
cowboy and hermit for the same length
OF time, you can make yourself rich on
the range lands of the West. In any
event, before you invest anywhere go
and look for yourself, for cheap lands
mean hard work and privation, go
where -Ou will.

Don't Pamper Your sows.

"A man had fine SOW, we'll bred, of
which he took the greatest care, such
good care that he was never able to
raise any of her pigs. Either she laid
on them and killed them or else she ate
them up or they were so weak that
they could not survive. In sheer dis
gust he turned her out in an old pas
ture lot and left her to rustic living
as best she could She soon became
poor and gaunt, not much like the nice
show animal she was when he bought
her. He went down into the pasture one
morning, however, and found her with
a dozen nice pigs, healthy and active.
There is lesson here worth needing
The pampered sow is always a poor
mother.

European Laborers.

We are asked to state what would
happen if the attempt were made to
make the European laborer perform as
much work in day as is done by the
American laborer. 1t would be almost
impossible to do this. The surplus of
unskilled labor in Europe and the lack
of nutritious ration for him combine
to make him but a poor workman as
compared with his American brother.
On the theory that all must live, and to
live must have something to do, only
small requirements are made of foreign
labor. Then his food is such that he
has neither the energy, ambition nor
endurance to do an American days
work. This is one of the evils of land
ownership by the few and overpopula-
ton. There are millions of laborers in
Europe who do not get an American
twenty-five cent meal once year.

~ ~UESS never told yer about
9 + H. Shalers Mill, did II" said
W Uncle Bill, as he settled
IN himself in the Office chair.
mo, | do not reoOllect
ever hearing you mention the name Of
Shaler before replied the editor, ''but
there are many interesting stories about
some of the old mills and presume that
the one you mention has its connec-
ton with some romance which will be
OF interest and l shall be delighted to
here it, no doubt"
"Shalerville is little town back east
near where used to live, situated at the
foot Nv the Allegheny mountains an
was named after ''Herm.' Shaler, who
settled there an commenced ter hewin'
out railroad ties fur the ole Erie rail-
road. He soon saved up money enough
ter buy machinery an start saw mill
where he sawed out the ties an made
money hand over fist until he finally
bought wide strip Nv timber land run
mig up over the mountain-from the
government fur song, an let the saws
sing the song that made him we'll off in
short time, so much so that he con-
ceived the idea Nv building a. log shoot
down the side Nv the mountain so he
could haul the logs an roll them into
the shoot an away they would fly down
ter the foot Nv the mountain, where the
mill was located"
Shaler was a good business man, but
didn't go much on style an was living
in little log cabin which was surround
ed by young maple saplings. The cab
in was large enough fur him an his
wife, who was an admirable woman
an an only daughter who ruled the lit
tie home as she pleased, fur she was
their hearts idol an they always graft
fled her every whim. an within is
sometimes hard ter crafty at that said
Uncle Bill, as he stopped in his nara
tive long enough to light a cigar which
the editor had graciously handed him.
What was the girls name?" asked
the editor, who was always particular
In having the names jotted down for
future reference.
violet" replied Uncle Bill, violet
Shaler. Yer see she was born an
brought up among the violets which
showed their purple heads through the
moist leaves which carpeted the noun
tain side at springtime an when this
little human flower come ter scatter joy
an sorrow in the Shaler home, it was
about the time the violets were bloomin'
an 'Herm said, She's purifier than the
hull bunch NV em up the mountain
side an so he christened her Violet an
as she grew ter maidenhood she devel-
oped inter rare mountain beauty.
Mrs. Shaler was a woman Nv educa-
ton an refinement an Nv course, gave
Violet a good education which fitted her
for society if chance should ever throw
her in the way Nv it."
"Ah! Hal" exclaimed the editor, ''I
thought you would come to that pretty
soon.''
Have yer heard about it already?"
asked Uncle Bill in a disappointed tone.
"Oh, no, only 1 have been expecting
sequel to the story would be along
that line" replied the editor interest
eddy.

OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA.
Noah Raby, Famous Centenarian, an
Inmate of New Jersey Poorhouse

Noah Raby, famous centenarian,, will
be 131 years old this month The usual
custom of celebrating the birthday
with a party" will not be followed,
for the aged man is very weak, and the
excitement of such an affair probably
would be fatal to him.
Formerly the farmers would gather
from miles around and visit the poor
house where the old man is an inmate,
bringing him birthday gifts.
Raby was born at Eatontown, N. c.,
on April 1. 1872. He lived in Piscata-
way township, near New Brunswick,
N. j., for S5 years, and for the last so
years has been an inmate of the poor
house OF Middlesex county, first going
there when the present keeper. Henry
Hummer, was only boy, the poor
house being kept then by George Hum
