"Oh, 1t will be a great pleasure to have
him with u.s. declared Mrs. Hunter He
and Tom will have such day, and maybe
he'll want TO remain over night with us.
II so, we will have plenty of room-bed
and table-for him, and l assure you moth
ing in the world could make Tom happier
than to have his new-found friend"
Paul and Sally thanked Mrs. Hunter for
her cordially and told Steve to make no
trouble for his hostess. Then, saying
good-by for a few hours, they went on
their way. They found the spring of pure
sweet water and sat on the rock couch
to eat their luncheon of bread and butter,
hard-boiled eggs, cold meat and cookies.
They had supplied themselves with a tin
cup from which to drink spring water,
and the meal was a most enjoyable one
After luncheon Paul looked at his
watch. ats just half-past twelve" he
said. We've got an hour or more to
spare exploring the mountain before re-
turning to the farm for Steve. Shall we
go up, or across to the westwards? 1t

looks pretty interesting to the westward.
See all those rugged points and boulders
standing out against the sky?'
YES let's go In that direction" agreed
HIS sister 81 love adventure, and that
looks as though 1t might be full of wild
ness. Let's go that way" And Sally
pointed toward the west where doomed
great crags and boulders, giving to the
side of the mountain most formidable
appearance. above us seems to be all
timber and rather even ground"
So they turned their steps westward,
and soon were lost in the beauty of the
landscape. But while they were still aim
lessy wandering about a heavy fog gath
cred and they were unable to see more
than a few hundred feet around them.
But they were not afraid. for Paul de-
clared he knew the way by which they
had come and that they would at once
retraee their steps homeward.

i N A pint of cherries ate;
And it was just at bedtime,
Which meant twas very late.
And in the night his stomach
Began to pain him SO
That out of bed he tunbled
And quickly ran below.
He found his mother sitting
And reading by the lamp;
ooh, Map he cried SO loudly,
GIVE got an awful cramp!'
His mother asked him questions.
And when the truth she got,
For little Peter Pifer
She made it pretty hot.
She had told him in the evening
That no cherries should he eat
And now she found the rascal
Was practicing deceit.
So while his stomach panied him
She used her slipper we'll;
And after she had finished
Pete did not feel SO well.

MARTYR TO LAWS DELAY.
Horse Trading Not to be Appealed to
MAGISTRATES.

David Harum's horse that was war
ranted to stand without hitching never
became the cause Of lawsuit. Men OF
Yankee stock sedulously avoid calling
in lawyers to straighten out horse
deals The fellow who gets out sum-
mons Is not a dead game sport. Beaten
in a trade, the American hustler takes
his medicine, laughs at mis- own ex-
pense and prepares to get even In MS
own way. He may be litisious enough
in other fields, but public sentiment re-
strains him in this one. Horse trading
is, like gambling, matter not to be
appealed to the magistrates.
1t Is different when the persons con-
cerned are adopted Americans from
Sicily, Naples or Calabria. For ex-
ample, in New Village, n. j., when
Frank Faretta sold a nag Giuseppe
Pasquarina and Alfredo Bevalaque, and
a question arose as to whether the AMI
NAL was up to guarantee, no Ameri-
can tradition checked the disputants.
They went to law. They employed
counsel. Before justice of the peace
the matter was argued pro and con
for weeks. Meanwhile, the horse was
in Pasquarina's stable, and Pasquarina
had been told by his lawyer not to feed
the creature, for that would be ac-
knowledging valid delivery. and would
prejudice his case.
At last the justice gave his decision.
Faretta went to look for his property.
And 10, there was a dead horse in the
Pasquarina stable, calling aloud to the
four winds of heaven for decent bur-
ial. Such burial was furnished by the
board of health. The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Is
getting busy. The horse was clearly
a martyr to laws delays. The moral Of
his fate, however, deserves to be en-
balmed. The American scheme Is wis
est. Never go to law over a horse
sale. The stranger within our gates
cannot learn too soon the limitations Of
our national habit of legal quibbling
and judicial controversy.-Broo
Eagle.

er tone I'm our politics, less self-seek-
ing. chicanery, dishonesty, debaucEery.
THE only argument against 1t is
the fact that some good men will be
technically debarred from voting by
reason Of n recent removal That objec-
tion does not apply to the proposition
which was defeated last night, as 1t
permitted one to vote at any precinct
in the county in which he might join
club, just so he was registered in the
county, though in different precinct.
OF course, recent corners from another
county would be debarred from voting,
but surely they can wait one year be-
fore asking to take part in controlling
the politics Of the county into which
they have moved. Moreover, in human
affairs nothing is perfect. and We can
only strive for the greatest good for
the greatest number.
"The country people in some in
stances regard registration as a use
less formality, because they know all
the men in the community and have
known them for years-they are fixed
in their habitations, established as in
situations. But they should reflect that
such personal acquaintance and full
knowledge Is impossible. even to be ap-
preached in cities and even towns. and
that they should submit to some in
convenience for the safeguarding Of
the ballot where safeguards are need
ed. Moreover, they might well reflect
that their control in this so-called agri-
cultural state is passing, or will pass,
unless the floating vote Of the larger
cities is prevented from becoming the
determining factor in our state govern
ment." L. NJ Green.
