I'd been smart, I'd a. minded what my neigh
bors told me when came here and let certain
people alone. If ever | hear of one OF my
children speaking to Beggs, it'll be the worse
for them"
And so the two ladies parted, mutually ad-
miring each other.
Mr.. Jinks is what is called "quick-tempered'
man, and, unfortunately, Mr.. Beggs was of the
same temperament. The result of their at
tempt to amicably adjust matters was simply
to add fresh fuel to the fire. :.
The threats made by both parties would, If

at last parted, to the regret of the bystanders,
it was with simultaneous, double decara-
tion, that "this thing hasn't ended yet, sir!"
Alas, no! That was only the beginning OF
it. Mr.. Jinks had solid board fence, seven
feet high, built on his side of the two lots

fare waxing more furious from day to day,
and a climax was reached when little Sammy
Beggs came screaming home one day, pursued
by Mr. Jinks, who carried piece of board
in his hand, with which he could have felled
an OK.
Before night Mr. Jinks was arrested for as
sault and battery, and in the same hour poor
Cyrilla Beggs had been frightened almost into
spasms by being arrested for the larceny of
silver quarter; She im1plored her parents not
to let her be hung, and begged that she might
be poisoned instead.
The court room was crowded with delighted
spectators. The newspaper reporters did not
fail to attend, and wrote up both trials in the
most ridiculous light.
The costs were enormous for both Mr.. Beggs
and Mr.. Jinks.
Mr. Jinks failed to prove that Cyrilla had
stolen the quarter, and Mr.. Beggs failed to
prove that Mr. Jinks had really assaulted
Sammy. Il
The lawyers were the only ones who derived
any benefit from the affair. The ill feeling
engendered at first seemed to grow into posi-,
tive hatred, and both families were miser-
able.
At last. however, a circumstance occurred

"Still,' as Mrs. Jinks wisely remarked, "a
quarter with hole in it is better than nothing
IN N. these dull times, even if it amt worth but
fifteen cents"
could not feel perfectly happy until she had
witnessed the envy Cyrilla Beggs would be sure
to feel on beholding the quarter. She hastened
with all speed to Cyrilla Beggs house, with
the SIX smaller Jinks in her train, all eager
to hear the exclamations of surprise that would
be sure to emanate from the six Beggs child
rem.
Cyrilla, however, was provokingly Indifferent
to the quarter and intimated that she was
in daily expectation of a gift Of twenty gold
dollars from an aunt of hers in Boston. AT
the same time she volunteered the information
that there was grocery store near by, where
they, gave twelve gum drops for dime, and
in the most bewitching manner, wound her
arm around Belinda 5 waist to escort her to
the haunt of the candyseller, imperatively com
manding the other children not to tag after
Lndy and me-
But the eleven children, so sternly hidden
to stay where they were, held the threats of
Cyrilla in little awe, and gave chase after the
retreating girls. This led to a somewhat dis
graceful issue; for, at the close Of heated
discussion, some blows were really struck, and
when Mrs. Jinks and Mrs. Beggs had finally
rushed out and restored order, the quarter was
"Cyrilly's got it!7' declared Belinda. "She

Mrs. Beggs had said:

that materially changed the aspect of affairs.
| Mrs. Jinks began the making of a rag carpet,
and the garrett and every closet in the house
was searched for old garments and pieces of
garments that could by any process of clean
ing and dyeing be converted into carpet rags.
While thus engaged, Mrs. Jnks came across
a tiny pair of cotton pantaloons. She held
them up to the light, and laughed softly.
IF here amt Baby Tommy's little gingham
pantalloons that Mrs Beggs and I made him
one afternoon, just to please the children; for
the little fellow wasn't near old enough for
pantafoons. Why, he's in dresses yet and we

And Mrs. Jinks really wiped her eyes with
a corner of her kitchen apron.
She had been in pleasant and jocular mood
all afternoon, and now the finding of her little

the first time that afternoon. 1 remember
how me and Mrs. Beggs laughed, and how
tickled the children were, for he wasn't only

I've good mind to keep them to show him
when he grows up-but guess won't"
Snip, snip, went the scissors. Away went
one little leg, and then the other, and again
Mrs. Jinks laughed softly to herself
"If here amt the little pocket the children
would have me put in; and, of course, Tommy
must half fill it. What mixturel Here's
string, some pebbles, two buttons, grain of
coffee, and-and-of all things! Belindy's silver
quarter!"
Mrs. links sat thinking, thinking, thinking,
for a full half-hour.
OF all she thought we may never know, but
this is what she did, She walked into Mrs.
Beggs' kitchen that afternoon, Just as she had
done in the happy days before she had been
estranged from her neighbor by that miserable
quarter.
No one knows what occurred in Mrs. Beegy
Kitchen but the deeply interested neigh6ors

IN HE Jinks and the Beggs families had
ever been on the most intimate
terms. Only frail paling fence sep

families become that they contem-

Mrs. Jinks so often borrowed Mrs. Beggs
patterns and pans, and various other things;
and Mrs. Beggs so often ran over to her neigh.
Dor for "a drawing of tea" "a little pinch of
saleratus," or "the least mite of sugar.
Then the ladies had SO many little family
matters to discuss daily that Mrs. Jlnks had
once been heard to say:
"Really, Mrs. Beggs, wish we lived in the
same house."
And Mrs. Beggs had heartily reioind

could live right in the same rooms without
ever jar or a spat of any kind"

our children do get along so nicely. l declare
if my Sammy don't think there never was any
body like your Jimmy"
"And my Belindy thinks she couldn't live
without your Cyrilly."
"And Mr.. Jinks thinks the world and all of
Mr.. Beggs."
"And it's 'Mr. Jnks, Mr.. Jinks,' twenty
times day with Mr.. Beggs."
II think it's so nice to be always on good
terms with your neighbors. I'd put up with
anything before I'd have the least trouble with
mine."
"Indeed, would, tool"
With such perfect harmony existing between
the two families, it seems almost incredible
that so trifing thing as an old silver quarter,
with hole in it, could have caused the cooling
Of friendship that they had declared should
be eternal.
Belinda Jinks was the eldest of seven, al
though only twelve years of age Her father
was a hard working, poor man, who seldom
had even nickels and coppers to bestow upon
his little ones.
Ii was, therefore, an event of no small conse-
quence when wealthy but penurious
aunt, after whom the child was named had
sent Belinda a silver quarter as birthday
gift.
Mr.. Jinks had, it was true, remarked to his
wife, in private, that sit wouldn't a-hurt Aunt

Senator Bailey's Prayer.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
In closing his recent speech in the
senate Senator Bailey indulged III
some reflections aside from the legal
phase and merits Of his arguments,
and which all can endorse. They are
worth repeating. Hc said: "I would
feel that we were reaching an era in
this devoted land where men are to be
judged by how they act and what
they think, rather than by what they
have; when intellect, and not for
tune, when conduct, more than birth,
should be the measure of our esteem,
and when an honest fame should be
the goal towards which our ambitious
youth should be taught to toll and
hope.
"Mr. President, [ am one Of those
who believe that such time may come
of course, I am not so simple-mind-
ed as to dream that the old days of
small fortunes and great contentmcnt
will ever come again to bless the land,
but do believe in the coming Of "a
better day than this when the man
who knows that he is just and honest
will feel that he is happier in his cir
cumstances than the man whose riches
have been corrupted through injus-
tice.
T pray for the time to come when
we shall have new standard to guide
our children; when we shall teach
them that justice is better than pow
er, and lead them into the ennobling
faith that truth shall conquer false
hood in every home where peace
abides and in every land where men
are free. Under the influence of high
er ideals and more unselfish aspira-
tions all hate and envy will vanish
from our minds and the only evil
thought which still must vex us will
be the malice which the bad shall
forever feel toward the good. When
conduct instead Of fortune is made the
rule by which we judge all men, ev-
cry boy in tic land, no matter how
humble his parentage or how limited
his opportunity will feel the thrill of
hope, and the carpenters son will
know that if only he is just and
brave and honest he will be more re-
spected than the son Of any million
aire who ever wasted his fathers for
tune in idle dissipation or soiled his
fathers name by gross excesses."

had he not lost a quantity of pea vines
and other feed in the fall by fire. And,
by the way, it was found that those
who had to buy corn could got all
they needed from other members of
the Union. Yes, and they can see
what they are getting-it IS right from
the crib on the cob-not in sacks and
it half rotten. ....
And now want to say that the
members of our Union feel that so
long as we raise plenty Of corn, with
some to sell to those Of our members
who didn't make quite enough, to-
gether with plenty of small grain,
that it is not possible for us to make
an over-supply of cotton.
No, sir, we believe that those who
are responsible for too much cotton
Is the fellow you see in town about
every week or so loading his wagon
with sacked corn and baled hay from
the store, that's "runnin' him
yes, and the heartless landlord that
won't allow his tenants to have even
roastnear' patch.
And here is another thing, Brother
Stribling, about this corn raising
proposition: Mr.. r. M. Welborn, one
among the most progressive members
of our Union, and one whose ability
an up-to-date farmer is recognized by
us all, says that he can take q piece
OF land, run it in corn every year and
by planting peas between each hill of
corn and then sowing them in the mid
die ut lay-by time, can improve It
faster than he can to run the same
land III cotton every year and put all
the stable manure OH it that he can
make. Now, listen at some old knot
ty-hcaded, one-sided, all cotton rails
ing farmer say that he don't believe
1t. Well, then, come around and take
a peep at Brother Welborn s farm and
see if you don't go back home and or
der you kicking machine with which
to give yourself justice for having no
more farming sense than you've got.
And now, in conclusion, we want to
say that Five Forks Union breaches
and practices crop diversifcation, and
the other fellow can do just as he
likes, but when he comes around to
buy corn from us, and we find that he
doesn't try to raise it, we will put IL
price to him that will give him the
blind staggers.

Farmers Union Picnics.

1t is Now time to begin to plan a
regular order of farmers meetings
for the advancement of the organiza-
ton during the time between the lay
ing by Of crops and gathering time.
These public meetings or, rally days
Of farmers if freed FROM obnoxious
political schemes, does a great, good
thing by bringing the farmers togeth-
er to discuss the things of prime in
tercst to all farmers. Just here We
wish to remind the union that it is
not good plan to have too many
speakers at these meetings to talk Oh
the same subjects, for the following
reasons: When you get speaker
from a distance you should bear his
expenses, and again do not get man
to speak upon any subject unless you
can get a good one and give him his
time to tell what he knows about the
subject in hand. IF you can have a
speaker to go to your meetings that
knows something about what he is to
talk about, it will not take him long
to tell it, while it usually takes some
men long time talking trying to make
the people believe that he does know
something about his subject, when In
reality he knows but little or nothing
new to toll you.
