Money!" questioned Tillson eagerly.
Then he saw one of the horses squeez-

ferred him to continue at the post hole

$50 it's your idea, is it?' said the
drummer as he crossed to Zeke's side.
Going to have it patented, Of course?"
Zeke laughed. "Patentedr' he echoed.
THAT foolish thing? Why, it's moth
ing but lot of stones and two hinges
placed so the gate will shut ITSELF"
But that's just the sort of thing
which usually proves valuable" per-
sisted the drummer. 1.-THE simpler the
device. IL it's useful, the better. You'll
make mistake If you don't protect
the idea"
"Then guess I'll make the mistake"
said Zeke carelessly. Patents cost
money. and haven't any. Besides, If
had, wouldn't risk so cents on that
foolish thing"
The drummer regarded him thought
fully. Look here" he said suddenly.
How would you like to make trade?

Zeke's Indifference began to vanish.

to have you fix it up. But don't want
you to lose money" Then a little won

He opened a notebook and wrote for
some seconds, then tore out the leaf

Cause of Nosebleed.

In weak persons bleeding at the nose
is frequently hurtful and should be
stopped without delay, as continued
hemorrhage may prove fatal If neg
lected.
Those who suffer from poorness of
blood or anaemia and are sometimes
seized with violent nosebleeding should
avoid as far as possible anything which
may tend to bring it on. Gentle exer-
else only should be taken, as violent
bodily movements may provoke repe-
tition Of the hemorrhage. Even run
ming downstairs hastily should be
avoided. Bleeding at the nose is usu-
ally sign that something is wrong
with the system. The cause should, If
possible, be discovered and steps taken
to remove it.

Tillson stared at him as he walked
away, the wrath deepening on his face.
Suddenly he swung round to Zeke.

"Come, hand 1t over"
'T didn't receive anything in money"
Zeke answered.
"Stopr' roughly. Don't tell any

Zeke did so, with half smile. Hes

piled, "and have half what we make"

An now-huhl Yell never hear from

been said Zeke could not bring himself
to believe that the simple contrivance'
was of any value. Even when the
regular papers" came, with imposing
seals and blank spaces for him to sign
his name, he regarded them more as
interesting novelties than as anything
that would affect his future
But one day a letter came which
caused his eyes to open wide with
amazed delight and which, after half
bout Of hard thinking, carried him into
the house after his Sunday clothes. 1t
was nearly dark when he returned
from the town. Old Tillson met him at
the barn door, his face dark

Business replied Zeke. 81 heard
you say tother day the mortgage had

money soon they'd be selling you out
So I've been to a lawyer and had 1t
fixed over in my name to save you
trouble. You can pay me whenever it
suits. You see," in answer to the look
on Tillson's face, 81 got a check for
two thousand on the patent and am
likely to get about as much more every
year ! think I'll buy Dickson's farm
that joins ours. Now, If you don't
mind, I'll go in and talk with Jane

He looked at Tillson inquiringly, and
after few moments Of wrathful sri-
maces the old man nodded surlily.

A Good Eater.

When Gustavus of Sweden was be-
sieging Prague, a boor Of extraordi-
nary aspect gained admittance to his
tent and offered, by way Of amusing
his majesty, to devour a large hog in
his presence. Old General Konigs-
marck, who was in attendance, at once
suggested that the man with the Gar
gantuan appetite should be burned as
witch, whereupon the boor, whose
feelings were hurt by this observation,
exclaimed, If your majesty will but
make that old gentleman take of his
sword and spurs, | will eat him before

panied by such a hideous expansion
of the jaws and mouth that the gen
eral, though he had given his proofs"
on many a field, turned pale and fed

Everything has two handles-the one
soft and manageable, the other such as
will not endure to be touched. If, then,
your brother do you an injury, do not
take 1t by the hot hard handle, by rep
resenting to yourself all the aggravat-
ing circumstances of the fact, but look
rather on the soft side and extenuate
it as much as is possible by consider
ing the nearness of the relation and the
long friendship and familiarity be-
tween yOu-obligations to kindness
which a single provocation ought not
to dissolve. And thus you will take the
accident by its manageable handle
