A Mountain Toll Gate.

The people of the rural districts of
the United States are familiar with
the toll gate, although, in the past
few years, such means of income have
been done away with in the more
thickly settled parts of the country.
The toll road which this article has
reference to, is situated in the midst
of the Rocky Mountains. The keeper
of the gate sits upon the porch of his
small log cabin, in close reach of the
line that pulls down the gate or bars.
When horses approach, he pulls the
gate and toll is required before they
can pass. One could enjoy a foaming,
sparkling glass of golden grain belt
beer on hot fatiguing day. Get a
case for your cellar and serve regu-
larly. Order of your nearest dealer
or be supplied by Sjoblom Bros,

But a careful search among Mr..

that he had no money there.

II never reckoned I'd live to see the
day when my things would be sold at
vandoo!'' sobbed poor old Mrs. Pick
EFT as she sat in her big green rocking
chair, holding a corner of her checked
Bingham apron to her streaming eyes.
Il reckon the very cheer I'm sittin'
in IL have to go, and I'll be turned out
with nothin' but the clothes on my
back"
A tall, slender girl about sixteen
years old who had been kneeling by
her grandmother's chair vainly trying
to comfort the old lady rose and said:
ooh, no, grandmother; I don't think it
will be as bad as that will see to it
that your old chair and grandpa's are
not sold. You can save out such things
as you care for most, but you know
that we shall not need half of the
things in the two little rooms that
We're going to live in at the village"
''Two little rooms in the village!'
cried out the old lady, throwing up
both hands, with fresh burst of
tears. "And I've got to come down to
two little rooms when I've been used
all my life to plenty of room, with my
big closets and but'ry and good dry
cellar and nice garden, and all that!
Oh, Dotty, what could your Grandpa
Pickett have been thinkin' of to be so
keerless? Dear me, dear me!'
HE didn't know, grandmother. None
of us could know that he'd be taken
away as he was" replied the girl, her
own eyes filing with tears.
Grandfather Pickett had been killed
Instantly by fall from his haymow
two months before. He had been a
kind and good man, but unwisely &C.
centric in some respects, since he had
always made it rule to tell no one,
not even his wife, Of his business af-
fairs.
"Women hain't no head for business
Their capacity lays in other sp'eres,"
had been one of Grandfather Pickett's
sayings. So his wife had never been
taken into his confidence, and at the
time of his death she knew almost
nothing about his private affairs.
Some truths she soon discovered, to
her sorrow One of them came home
to her with stunning and cruel force
five days after the funeral, when Mr.
Hiram Parks, money lender living in
the village, came to tell her, in his
cold, businesslike way, that the mort
gage he had held for ten years on the
Pickett farm had never been paid and
that q settlement must now be made
He had, besides, note for $500 giver
him by Grandfather Pickett at the
time the latter had built his new barr
and added the last twenty acres to his
