EDS SIckN ESS

It is evident that the raking over the coals which the newspapers have been giving E. H. Hartman is going "agin the grain" for here's the way he talks about it:
 sThe attacks on capital that have been going on throughout the country so long," he said, "are enough to make man sick. The country is tired of it and the newspapers must get something else to print or they will not sell any longer. The thing for the parties to do is to hold conference with representa- tives of the press present and in that statements Both sides then can have a fair hearing"
 We're sorry that the naughty news papers have said things that grate harshly on the sensitive nature of Ed ward and caused him to feel that he is not enjoying his usual health, honest we are. But somehow or other there are folks who don't agree with him
  unless they "get something else to print.' Some say that Edward has been independent, domineering and lot of other things, that he has shown a sort of the public be-darned (that isn't just the word but it'll dol attitude and that in his chase for the round dollar he has done things which are open to criticism.
 These folks don't seem to tire of read ing 3'attacks, i" as Edward calls them, on such methods.
 If Ed has been naughty in the past, he might try being good for spell and perhaps the change would prove to be 8 panacea for that sickness which he says he is afflicted.
 Governor Hughes could not have in gratiated himself into the favor of the voters of New York state as we'll in any other as by the following statement the other day touching his nomination for the presidency ill case a candidate other than Theodore Roosevelt is chosen. He said;
 ''I do not seek any public office. I have not sought, nor shall I seek, di- rectly or indirectly, to influence the se- lection or the vote of any delegate to any convention, and with reference to the action of any delegates to any conven- tion there will be no suggestion or thought of influence, protest or reprisal in the executive chamber"
 It is ruYnored that Congress is to in- yestigate the high prices of all commod- ities. Don't, please don't. The beef trust investigation brought out some reyolting facts and then meat prices went up by leaps and bounds. Don t investigate anything more. Leave bad enough alone.
 If MT. Edison's $1,OOO dwelling monlded out of concrete, while you wait. ever comes into vogue, towns Ill which they are numerous will present an aspect suggesting return to the lime of the cliff -dwellers.
 Rut why would Hartman give a million dollars to be 8 lawyer? He will know all the law that is good for him, in a short time, without having to take a regular course of study.
 The compositor who set 1t "Bust Company" when it should have been "Trust Company" wasn't so far out ot the way alter all.

man stared at him, wonderingly, with
out offering to sit down, he went on:
eve were talking about you just now.
You see, the thing is just here: we
want to go away, but we don't want
to sell out Mules and wagons would
bring very little just now; besides, we
may come back at the end of year
or so. What we want is good,
trustworthy man to take charge of
everything while we are gone; some
body we can depend upon, you know.
You have been here long enough to
understand our ways, and Dave will
be prime hand to assist. Now why
can't we engage you permanently to
look after the outfit? The pay will
not be very large, Of course; but you
can use the mules and wagons as
much as you like. It will do them
good. Take it all around, you can
make a very nice thing out of it.
What do you say?'
The man shifted uneasily and glanc-
ed about the room with depreciar-
ing, half-foolish grin. Evidently he
considered it a huge joke.
give come to say" he began again,
when he was interrupted with:
"Come, come, Mr.. Higgins; give
me direct answer, if you please. I'd
rather have you and Dave than any
body I know; but if you can't accept,
why, of course, [ must look some
where else."
The mans eyes shifted from the
floor to his face.
''You don't mean, Mr. Abner-"
eyes, I do mean," with a pretence
of Impotence ''Wi11 you take charge
Of our affairs or not? Remember, 7
want straightforward man on whom
I can depend. Will you be the one"
A tremu1ous hand which had been
shifting uneasily between trousers
pocket and frayed coat edge, now
went up to the forehead in a pitifu1,
wondering way Then the s1ouching
figure began to straighten, and for
the first time in his memory, Abner
Green looked straight into the unwav-
ering eyes of Dawes father.
''Why, if you-if you really mean
it that way, I'll be awful glad" the
old man said, still in a dazed sort of
wonder. Then, catching his breath at
the thought, won't Dave be s'prised
pleased, [ mean"
He walked toward the door as
though the interview were ended, then
stopped suddenly and took a bottle
from his pocket, handing it to Abner
"Some whiskey one of the men got
for me this mornin'," he explained,
still looking Abner in the face, ri
lowed on havin' time, but I don't
reckin your head man ought to drink.
I'll give it up. S'pose you break the
bottle, an say nothin' to Dave"
Il will, and thank YOU" Then he
rose suddenly to his feet and held out
his hand to this man who had made
such a long stride toward his own
level. He felt strange, almost ex-
plosive elation over the success of his
idea, but he only said:
I'VE have not known each other as
we'll as we ought to, Mr.. Higgins. I
hope we will get better acquainted in
the future. But sit down, while ex-
plain the business more in detai1.'
That evening, as Abner Green was
returning from visit to the stables,
he heard rapid footsteps, and then felt
his hand grasped warmly.
81 couldn't sleep till I come and
thanked you, Mr.. Abner," Dawes
voice said rapidly. "Pap's like a diff
terent man already. II can't tell
you how I feel, but I'd rather thou
sand times for Pap to have the place
than me. Well never forget it.. T.

Higgins moves away, Dave is going
to move too. Whatever the old man
may be to the world in general, he is

eyes," irritably, "but what are we
to do? We have been counting on
Dave as sure thing"
"Can't do anything without count
ing the old man in" Then he step
ped forward quickly and placed a
hand upon his brothers shoulder, for
now a brisk step was heard coming up
the sidewalk toward the door.
leave this to me, John" he urged,
lowering his voice, Il believe can
bring it round all right. Anyhow,
give me chance to try my idea.''

The door opened and a strong, we'll

John and Mr.. Abner," he said, with
evident regret in his voice. Give
brought up the saw an hammer Pap
borrowed, an Pap he's going to bring
up the other things in few minutes.
He was just startin' when I left.
Then we're goin' to pack our goods
an back 'em to Orlando"
ooh, no, I guess not, Dave" re-
torted Abner, good naturally, ''we're
making different arrangements for
you. Somebody's needed to look after
our mules and wagons and things"
The boys face 1ightened with won
dering, almost incredulous, ecstasy;
then dropped with the recollection of
the hard reality.
'I'm terrible sorry, Mr. Abner, an
Mr.. john" he said, striving in vain
to keep his voice steady, "but Pap's
'lowin' we must be movin' on. We've
staid here a right long spell now"
''But he's no call to be dragging
you off to Orlando" broke in John
sharply. "You're better off here.
You've got five acres of land almost
paid for, and another year you can
clear it and set out trees. Your

rect, che lows folks are gettin' down
on him here, an it's time he was
movin' on"
John shrugged his shoulders.
"Let him move on then,'' he ad-
vised, "and you stay here. See how
quick he will be coming back after
something to eat"
The boys eyes flashed.
"I'm much obliged to you all for
what you've done for me-" he said,
the forced ca1mness of his words be-
lying the resentfu1 sparkle in his eyes,
"That's what [ walked up to say
Now I'll be going"
"Pshaw, pshaw, Dave" expostulat-
ed Abner, 'you mustn't feel put out
with what John says. Remember it
was he who sent your father medicine
when he was sick. There, that's
right" as the boys face softened.
"And about your father now. I think
he can be talked around. Is he COM

minutes He's on the way"
Abner looked at John, who grimac-
ed, then nodded a good natured as
sent
Come, Dave" he said. "Suppose we
leave Abner to talk with your father,
while we go out to the stables and
look round. I want to show you
about the work and explain more full
ly what we DESIRE The mules must
have plenty of exercise; you can use
them in breaking ground, clearing
land, or anything you like. You un-
derstand. Just take care Of everything
the best you know how, as though
they were your own"
The boy followed him slowly, the
resentment not wholly gone from his
eyes. At the door he turned.
Don't you go for to say nothin'
bad to my father he warned Then
he disappeared.
A few minutes later old Higgins en-
tered. Abner was seated at his desk
writing.
Give come" began the visitor.
