The worst o. these here shepherds
is, my boy, that they regularly turns
the heads of all the young ladies
about here. Lord bless their little
hearts, they think it's all right, and
don't know no better; but they're the
victims O. CANNON, Samivel, they're
the victims O. CANNON. Nothin' else,
and wot aggregates me, Samivel, is
to see em awastin all their time and
labor in making clothes for copper-col-
ored people as don't want 'em and TAX
ing no notice of flesh-colored Chris
tians as do. If I'd my way, Samivel,
I'd just stick some of these here lazy
shepherds behind a heavy wheelbar-
row, and run em up and down a
14,inch plank all day. That 'ud shake
the nonsense out of 'em, If anythin'
vould-Mr Weller, quoted by Charles
Dickens. .

RAISED A NOVELTY IN CORN
Western Farmer Grew Ear with an
Odd Number Of Rows Show
ing on 1t.

Jake Brunton. farmer living five
miles northwest of Blair, astonished
the managers of the corn show there
to finish by bringing in for exhibit
ton full well-developed ear of corn
with an odd number of rows of corn
on it. 1t is noted fact that all ears
of corn have even number of rows
running from IA to 22-but no odd
numbers. This ear has Is rows with
4S grains to the row. Mr.. Brunton
planted fifteen hills from a peculiar
ear of corn of his own selection, and
the planting received the same atten-
ton as his other corn. He read last
year of an offer by an Illinois corn
raiser of S20-acre farm for an ear
of corn with an odd number of rows,
He began to experiment, and planted
an odd number of grains in an odd
number of hills on the 18th day Of
the month, and husked and counted
each ear separately A dozen corn ex-
perts examined 1t, and would not be-
lieve 1t until counted by themselves.
1t is freak of which Mr.. Brunton is
Justly proud, but he forgot to take 1t
to Omaha to the national show.-Oma-

Gov, Dangerfield. THAT angry part
ing of ours at New Orleans was all
for effect to get space in the news
papers, We had confided to each
other that the cares of state had
worn us to an intolerable point and
that we must have rest. Brother APP
pleweight had, l confess, given us
both a great deal of annoyance. and
to be frank, neither Osborne nor l
wished to take the initiative in his
case. So we resolved to disappear,
and go to some quiet place for rest.
We QUILTED with old clothes and
came to the border Gov. Osborne has

we came upon that charming shanty

survey running clearly through the
timber, we were amused to find that
the house was partly in North, partly
in South Carolina. The thing touched

ANY man." said Jerry, lifting her
chin slightly, who would impersonate
the governor of South Carolina would,
beyond question, be utterly insane
and an object of compassion. Prof.
Grlswold, will you please produce
your imaginary Applewelght, as at
this hour Mrs. Atchison usually serves
tea. Let us therefore make haste"
One of Griswolds retinue ran off to
summon the prisoner, who was guard
ed by half dozen soldiers near at
hand
The company in the bungalow were
all laughing heartily at some sally by
the adjutant general of South Caro-
lima, who insisted upon giving light
note to the proceedings, when hurried
footsteps sounded on the veranda and
sergeant appeared in the doorway
and saluted.
The adjutant general, annoyed at
being interrupted in the telling of a
new story, frowned and babe the SER
geant produce his prisoner. At once
a man was thrust into the room, a
tall man, with a short, dark beard and
slightly stopping shoulders. The
strong light at his back made 1t diff
cult for the people grouped about the
table to see his face clearly, but the
air somehow seemed charged with
electricity, and all bent forward,
straining for sight of the captive.
AS he stood framed in the doorway
his face was slowly disclosed to them,
and there appeared to be humorous
twinkle in his eyes. Before any one
spoke, he>broke out in hearty laugh.
Then cry rose piercingly in the
quiet room-a cry of amazement
from the lips of Jerry Dangerfeld.

"Oh, papal" she cried

half dozen men in chorus.
At this moment Mrs. Atchison and
Miss Barbara Osborne stole softly in
and ranged themselves at the back
of the room.
The governor of North Carolina
crossed to the table and took his
daughters hand.
Jerry, what part do you play in
these amateur theatricals?"
Jerry rose, thrusting her handker-
chief into her sleeve, and her lips
trembled slightly. though whether
with mirth or some soberer emotion

Just here Katherine remembered
herself and coughed loudly. The two
old men set down their heavy teacups
in haste. Silas caught up his crutch
and Jerry his cane, and they hobbled
into the little shop.
Katherine opened the bundle. Here
are my brothers. Shoes" she said:
"they need half-soling and straighten-
ing at the heels, and tiny patch right
here. And can you fix them today,
please?"
The two old brothers smiled at her
'Why yes, Wen fix 'em today" said
Silas. Jerry can take one an me the
other, an the boy can come an get

Katherine could not quite tear her
self away from the genial old men who
apparently put up SO brave and cheer
full a struggle against adversely.

morning paper and looked at Jack
over his glasses.

Katherine passed her father the
toast. Daddy" she said, coaxingly,

day? You know you and mamma are
talking of going to Uncle Roberts to
spend the day, and if you'd only let me
take 1t I'd be so careful"
He folded his newspaper, consulted
his watch anxiously, and rose.
"Well," he said, 1--WE got to be going
or I'll miss that car. Yes, Katherine,
l guess you may take the auto, If you
think you can be careful Broken

Katherine took the bundle under her
arm along with her high-school books
and went down Spencer street.
She went into the little shop and
sat down to wait. She had knocked
loudly, but no one had responded, and
she had made bold to enter.
AS she sat there waiting, voices
from the little kitchen beyond reached
her, Evidently the two old men were
having late breakfast, and evidently
also they were somewhat hard of
hearing, for they kept on talking.
Katherine did not really mean to
listen, but sentence caught and held
her attention.

WILLING to pay for Hammer.

When the British square at the bat
tie of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des-
ert, was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear a gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home charge. The Briton Drained
the Sudanese, but the hammer head
split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert
ence that soldiers are charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: Please, sir,
I'm very sorry broke the hammer,
but / never thought the fellows head
could be so hard. I'll pay for the
hammer so as to hear no more of
the case"

somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:

change him to your own taste. But
each of you has different taste. To
