had left the farm Then one day a tall,
strongly built man In q heavy coat strobe
into the room. .
"Elisha Hopkins. i suppose?" he inter-
rogated.
Yes. What can do for yer?
The man did not answer. Taking pa
per from his pocket. he unfolded 1t DELHI
erately and read In slow. ponderous
voice for several minutes. Then he looked
at the startled figure behind the counter.
Going to pay it?" he asked.
Cant jest now" Lish answered weak
".

ter and held out his hand. II may az well

Lish nodded toward the door, from the
lock Of which the key had not been re-
moved. The sheriff went and took 1t out
and then held the door open significantly
Llsh realized that it was for him to go
out.
How he stumbled across the room and
out into the snow and across the yard
to his own house he scarcely knew, only
that 1t was a feeling of thankfulness
that sairy had not happened to be in the
store
She was bending over the stove when he
entered and sank heavily into chair.
Goodness land! she exclaimed, sud

matter, Lish?"
"Nothin ''-drearily-"only the sheriffs

"But the goods are with more'n what

Twice as much, 'cordin' to what we

He rose sturdily to his feet.

things / needed an the best prices.
But he didn't say word bout the $25
or more expenses that wouldn't turn
me In a cent. Oh, no! He even limited
I'd better hire bright young man
with experience to help In the store"
The next week the drummer was as
prompt as his word and came down
with an extensive assortment Of sam
pies. An entire day was spent with
him In the big empty store, which
Sairy had swept and scrubbed with her
own hands. At first they were DELHI
crate and circumspect In their buyings,
Sairy being for ordering dress pat
tern from this and that, few yards of
one ribbon and another, a piece of braid
or cake of fancy soap, and Lish for
breaking dozens and dividing the boxes
and packages. But after the drummer
had repeatedly assured them that they
were purchasing to fill store and not
for their own immediate necessities for,
few months ahead they grew bolder
and yet holder, and finally, when pas
sion for buying had begun to possess
them, they ordered from everything
shown and toward the end recklessly.
After 1t was all over and the drummer
had left they drew long breaths and
looked at each other curiously.
We've bought sight, Lish," Sairy
faltered. --a.--r .e+- .5
II should say so," rubbing his chin
thoughtfully. "More'n was ever put

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order
t. cure it you % aust take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally. and acts d.
rectly on the ..blocd and m ucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for
years and is a regular prescrip
ton. It is composed of the best
tonics known, com bined with the
best blood purifiers, acting d.
rectly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the
two ingredients is what prod uces
such wonderful results in curing

TO one who has never heard aught
save condemnatiOno our greao railroad
corporations, the sight presented this
week and last, must have occasi0ned
some deep thinking. Every railroad
running West offered free transporta-
tion OF all merchandise to San Fran
cisco, and train after train passed
through Omaha laden solelv with sup
plies for the California sufferers. For
over Week the strange spectacle has
been seen, OF a great railroad system
IKE the Union Pacific almost entirely
turned over to the work of charity.
Not only has that grand road trans
ported material and provisions of all
KINDS Tree, but it haSgiven such trains
The righUo1 way over its regular trains.
Inc same may be said Of all Western
lines, and not satisfied with that the
railroads have furnished free trans
poration for everybody wishing to
leave California for the East. The
Union Pacific. It is said. furnished over
ten thousand tickets To people who
were fleeing from San Francisco and
here they were transferred TO the
North Western aud other lines on the
same basis of free transportation to
Eastern points. All honor to these
grand corporations which have come
