the children rose and fell with the
music. Uncle Luther sank back on
his box, trembling. Through a mist
or great happiness he saw Uncle Tom

ward him side by side. He couldn't
believe it at first; he didn't pretend to
believe it.

Uncle Luther he stopped and cleared
his throat. Every one was silent, lis

here's a new leg
He held out the odd-shaped package
helplessly. Uncle Luther did not seem
to see it at all. He reached forward
and put his hands on his brothers
shoulders, and the leg fell down un-
needed between the two old men.
Uncle Luther strapped on the leg
with trembling, inefficient fingers. and
then Captain EnOch and Uncle Tommy
marched him out between them. Uncle
Tommy's own horse and buggy, deco

in front of the shop.

TINLE TOMMY DOWELL and
Uncle Luther DoEell were twins
II only in age and patriotism. In
everything else they were as diff
ferent as black and white or hot ana
cold Uncle Tommy was short and
puffy. and bald of head. with a remin-
iscent twinkle in his blue eyes and a
certain sprightlincss in his step that
quite belied his age. Also, he had two
good, stout. stubby legs. although they
were bit bowed and stiff, so that be
thumped smartly with his heels when
he walked.
What Uncle Tommy lacked of reach
ing natures standard of a man, Uncle
Luther made UP. He was gaunt and
STOPPING. and so spare that one almost
expected to hear him rattle in his old
blue clothes like withered peas in a
pod. Fine trouble lines mapped his
forehead. and his beard was thin and
gray. When he walked he lurched at
every step and bore heavily on his

on the bloody slopes Of Chickamauga,
and for nearly thirty years he had
stumped painfully about on a wooden
leg.
Uncle Tommy was bluff and prosper
Gus. He lived in comfortable house
in West Alden, and when all of his
children came home for Thanksgiving
dinner Uncle Tommy's wife put all the
spare leaves in the dining table and
carved two turkeys.
Uncle Luther had q little one story
shop, across the county line in the ad-
joining town Of Amery, where he SOL
dered pans and tinkered clocks. 1t
was next the lane. in the farther cor
ner Of his son Jonathan's land, and he
made up his own bed and cooked his
meals in the little room in the rear.

tributed to the Republican cam

will be advanced from $1,000 to
$21 per ton. An expert says they
can be manufactured with fair
profit at $l2 per ton. Every man

to contribute to the trusts recoup-

SOUTH'S PROSPERITY.

The next issue of the American
Cotton Manufacturer will say:
Southern prosperity is mani
fest. Two big crops of cotton at
good prices have lifted the farmer
out of almost chronic Indebtedness
and made him acquainted with
that-to him-strange phenome-
non, a bank account. His material
welfare will be still further en-
HANGED if this years yield average
10 cents pound and amounts to
eleven million bales. On such a
basis the south will collect from
the rest of the world approximately
$500, 100000 for the staple and
seed. Much of this will be clear
profit and will go to swell the bank
accounts of the planters. Idle
money being useless, another novel
experience is before the agricul-
turalist. He will have to decide
on the merits of the many ways in
which his surplus may be given an
earning capacity. He enters the
class known to, the business world
as investors.
Taking z cents e. pound as COW
ering the cost of growing and mar
keting cotton, including wear and
tear of implements, use of live
stock, fertilizers, wages and rent,
the profit on this seasons work on
the. basis already taken will amount
to the stupendous sum of $780,
600, 900, more by some $115, 900,
600 than the cost of every cotton
mill lii the southern states today.

Pity the sorrows of poor Mr.
John D. Rockefeller! His divi-
dends from Standard Oil this year
will amount to only S14, 800, 900,
against ST., 800, 900 last year. The
decline of 100000 in income
for the year doubtless makes his
heart feel like lead wiJhin his
bosom. Still, he says he gets a
great deal of comfort out of his
religion, and he may draw upon
it in this extremity. But it is
more likely that he will advance
the price of kerosene.

The South is cheerful and Sc
rene. The past is only a promise
of her future. The Panama canal
will he built, and the merchants
of the South will be the merchants
of the world. Southern ports will
handle much of the commerce that
will pass through the canal. Ten
cent cotton will be permanent
thing. We are not looking mourn
fully back into the past. 1t can
never come again. We are the
happiest people on the face OF the
earth. The. moon shines bright
on the old Kentucky home newly
modelled. There is still sound
of music way down ON the Suwa-

kernels, and the Colonies full of
