JENNY, no wonder that me and
your mother have bin havin' cold feet
fur the last three days and huntin'
up verses for our tombstones! I'll
have one more talk with you when
we go up to dinner, and if you can't
be made to listen to reason then I'll
BIO through with you"
Dick had nothing to say in reply.
He was as much astonished as his
father at his sudden outbreak, but it
had given him confidence.
The pair worked along for the next
two hours without word, and when
the dinner horn blew they started for
the house. The father led by a good
fifteen rods.
His head was down, and he was
thinking up new arguments TO ad-
vance. when strange, buzzing noise
suddenly reached his ears and made
him halt.
He was passing close to one of the
beehives, and the bees were swarm.

flying around and around, like a cork
screw, and as farmer Scott hesitat.
ed which way to run, the whole cloud
began settling down on him.
His straw hat was covered in an in
slant, and then the little workers
roasted on his shoulders, chung to his
shirtsleeves and covered him down
to the knees. He reached out his
right hand and grasped young
peach tree to support himself, but
that was all he could do.
Dick came swinging along about
the time the last bee had settled
down. and he stopped short with a
look of amazement. Then the look
changed to grin, and he sat down on
the frame Of the grindstone, crossed
his legs and said:
Dad, / wouldn't be in your place
for three of the best COWS in Hills
dale county,"
Dick, I'm dead mani" replied
the father in hoarse whisper.
You surely are. You amt goin' to
die of broken heart because marry

about 100000 bees are goin' to lab
their singers into you at the same
time. You'll feel wuss'n that peddler

For heavens sake, but what has

after we've had our talk How

"A leetle over 80, guess, but I'm
nigh dead of fright"
you keep still and you'll be all
right. How big are the widder's

'Durn you. Dick, will you see -our

You're not perishin'. How big are
her feet?"
Same as your fathers, or small.

TONNAGE" AT INLAND PORT.
Deputy Collector Evidently Had New
err Been Seafarinq Man.

Appraiser Whitehead in discussing
the other day some of the peculiari
ties Of the tariff law, told the follow.
ing story of newly appointed deputy
collector at SUPPORT on the Cana
dian border. The port was in the
woods, and hundreds of miles from
the coast.
The customs officials are furnished
with blanks on which to make theii
reports, and in cases like the one iE
point there are many items on the
blanks which it is never necessary tc
fill. The new deputy collectors re
port contained the information tina,
he had collected 81 for tonnage,
dues on vessels.
The treasury department had Wis
IONS of tidal wave which had chang,
ed the face of the map on the north.
ern frontier and made the little port
IN the woods veritable seaport. An
agent was dispatched to the scene to
investigate. He found no change in
the physical characteristics of the re.
gion, and the first question which he
asked the new official was how he had
managed to collect 81 for tonnage.
Il collected duty on two tons of hay
at 81 ton" he replied, "and if that
isn't what you mean by tonnage on
your old blank I'll be id if l know
what II is."-New York Times.

stopped. If it be not true, as every
person Of common intelligence knows
It is NOT; but If protection rs, on the
contrary, system and a policy under
which millions of homes have been
made happier and our county has
gained the foremost place among all
the nations of the world, then the

GAVE HIS FLOCK WARNING.
Jealous Old Minister Certainly Made
Lesson impressive,

The little town of Bethlehem. Pa
once contained a half-crazy ministe
known as "Ranting" Ranker, who had
been educated beyond his Intelligence,
and was at times Historically fanatic.
His strange doings were as numerous
as they were well known, but probably
the widest freak was during the last
year of his eventful life.
The quiet little village was deep in
slupber one night when it was arous.
ed by peal after peal from the bell in
the Moravian church. Men and won.
en- rushed from every side to put out
the supposed fire and the local fire
brigade sailed forth with all its para.
pnernalia. The crowd assembled
about the church, but the bell never
ceased its frantic summons. At last o
delegation was sent up to see who the
ringer was. "Ranting' Ranker stood
there, half naked, pulling the bell rope
with all his strength.
What is it? Where's the fire?'
was their excited query.
Fire in hell! Fire in HE'LL" shout
ed the Jealous old preacher, "and if
you don't look out you'll all be burned
up in it."
How many souls were converted
that night has never been known.

5 RYLZI1RLEy C24kIZ1aO

A good many things had happened
before the bees swarmed back of the
house on that June day.
Dick Scott, son of the hard-headed
and hard-hearted old Farmer Scott,
had fallen in love with the widow
Lapham months before. He was
barely 81 years of age, and working
for his father as hired hand, while
she was 80 and owned the next farm
on the east
ID was easy to get up an argument
on their respective ages, showing
that the disparity was too great and
on the wrong side, and the father
used it for all it was worth.
Farmer Scott had called upon the
widow and charged her with seeking
to trap his guileless son, and had
been promptly turned out doors. The
neighbors had mixed in after that,
and the affair was the leading subject
of conversation for five miles around.
Dick Scett was no talker, but he
was g. good hand to think. He was
very much in love, and he was as de-
termined to marry that widow as he
was to live, but he couldn't stand up
against the arguments of his father
nor witness the tears OF his mother,
so he kept quiet and waited for an
earthquake, cyclone or some other
him out
Whenever they were working in
the fields together the father would
look at the sky with a squint, take a
farewell glance around the farm, and
then solemnly remark:
Dick, it seems awful that I've got
to die in my prime and leave all this,
especially before them young pear
trees begin to bear, but I'll have to
do it'll have to do it.
Whats the use 90 dyin'?" Dick
would ask, knowing that he must say
something.
81 don't want to, but I've got to.
Can't live a week after you've went
and married to the wilder Lapham.
The idea that my only son has gone
and married his grandmother, and a
women with feet like an elephant at
that, would break my heart and send
me 10 my grave.
Didn't you marry who you want
ed to when you married map"
THAT was different. In them days
women didn't set traps for young
men, and widders wasn't schemin'
day and night. Dick, gol durn We,
what dye want to make hyena of
yourself fur and send my gray hairs
down to the grave in sorrer?"
Dick would change the subject or
refuse to talk back any further, and,
after muttering to himself for half
an hour longer, the father would get
tired out.
On this June day, however, when
the two were repairing the rail fence
between the corn and the potato
field, and all nature was reveling in
the balmy sunshine, the usual discus
sion opened with a different prelim
mary and became red hot at once.
A peddler came down into the field
to see if he couldn't make a sale of
a pocket knife or pair of suspend
ers, and he had little joke to get
off about the widow Lapham wearing
the trousers after marriage.
He was still grinning when Dick
knocked him into the thistle patch
and seemed sorry that there was not
more Of him.
"By thunder. Dick Scott" ex-

A Social TRAGEDY.

She first. put on a dark blue dress,
Then changed it for a purple one;
Then changed again, in her distress,
To one 'twiXt chestnut-bay and dun;
And yet once more she made change
And put a pale pink rigging on;
Her husband growled things strong an,
strange
His patience was completely gone.
They went to call upon some friends
That she was anxious to impress
IT'S ever thus when woman spends
A lot of time upon her dress.

In stunning folks, for o, alas!
