JOE PlXLEY'S REVENGE
BY THOMAS F. MONTFORT.

(Copyright, 1905, by Daily Story Pub.
 Company)
 Ben Bucket was widower and Joe Pixley was a bachelor The one was a Possum Ridge farmer and the other taught the Possum Ridge school. They were both well past middle age.
 Buckets chief purpose in life, 1t seemed, was to oppose Pixley. No matter what the latter attempted the former was ready to do all In his power to defeat him. There was no reason for this so far as anybody could see, for Joe was quiet. inofrensive man, who attended strictly to his own busi- ness; and he had certainly never harm ed Bucket But 1t had been so for years, and 1t looked as though It would continue as long as they both lived. However, no 2ne knows In what day
 There lived on Possum Ridge a homeIy old widow, who was chiefly noted for her temper. Her name was but. fortunately for, them, they were all dead. They had died happily. for while they died not knowing what was awaiting them in the next life, they in this. They felt that even at the worst the change would be great
 one day Pixley conceived brilliant had long felt that he had suffered enough from Burket's interference in his affairs, and that he ought to do something to put stop to It; but he had not been able to devise any plan. Now, however, a plan was at hand and he saw his way clearly. He chuckled softly as he anticipated the
 The next day Pixley called on Mrs Morgan. A day or two later he called again. From that time on he became a frequent visitor at her house. and the oftener he went the longer he re-
 On Possum Ridge news travelled fast. and whatever one person did was soon known to all the rest. So 1t was not long til everybody knew of thought they knew. what his object was. It could not be anything short of matrimony.
 Some laughed at the thought of the trouble Joe was liable to get himself into Some shook their heads gravely, and in their hearts they pitied him. friends went to him and tried to con vince him that he was making a seri- ous mistake.
 "If you marry, that old woman" they minute of peace or earth. She will harass you to your grave You are too old to be such a fool"
 you worry about me, I know what I'm doing"
 Calmly and smilingly he went on his way: keeping his own counsel, and con tinuing his attentions to Mrs Morgan. A couple of weeks passed. then one day Ben Burket rode up to Squire Beeson's and called the Squire out
 I'm going to get married" he said ''and I want you to go along and per form the ceremony"
 "All right, Ben" the Squire replied I'm always ready to accommodate a neighbor. especially if there Is a fee in 1t. Who are you figuring on marry | ing?"
 "The Widow Morgan" Burket an- swered.
 The Squire looked surprised. then he grinned broadly.
 We've all been thinking" he said that Joe Pixley was going to marry her. But I see how 1t Is. You are at your old tricks again. You are going | to beat Joe out of her"
 Any man has a right to marry a woman if he wants to, I reckon" Bur ket replied. He don't have to wait to see if somebody else wants her does her"
 "Of course not" the Squire admitted. ''It's free fight, and If you can win

gY WILL n. STEPHAN.

Marion. June 25.-(Special Cores )-A recent cartoon pubhshed In a Washington paper purported 10 show what Peary will find at the North Pole. when he gets there
 The cartoon, occupying nearly halI the front page of the paper, displayed first a picture of the pole nailed 10 which was one of the familiar black 1ettered tin mail boxes of the rural free delivery service. At the foot of the pole two bespectacled and bewhiskered EentIemen were industriously digging away in the soil and ice. One Of them hora the title. Bug expert agricultural department." the other bore the title: "soil expert. agricultural department.
 The cartoon was intended as witty fling at the ubiquity of the post office and the agricultural department of the national government It was mild lampoon devoted towards the wide spread field of endeavors of these two important branches of the government. The impression of the far flung field Of works of the postoffice and agricultural department, that one would naturally obtain from the witty cartoon Is by no means erroneous. As for the ubiq- uity of the mail service one meets with that everywhere. The work of the agricultural department Is hardly less general In every line of effort they are found. whether 1t is in Central America looking for some remedy to stop the ravages of the boil weeyil. or prowling around the pine woods Of
