 No, I don't says Berry.

 Jest to certain extent, says Berry. I allow I hain't a-goin' to poster the Almighty with things I kin tend to myself. Harve has give me his sacred word that he's goin' to be diffrunt man, an he haint a-goin' to break his sacred word. I know Harve too we'll
 You'll talk different year from now, they says.

 "Well, they was mario in June, an as 1 said, Harve was actin as pretty as a divinity student at the end of August. Then come September, an October, an November; an yit Harve hadn't kicked over the traces.
 "Along about April suthin' happen ed. It wasn't jest exactly what you might call unexpected, either. They called it Ira Conconnon, after two of it's uncles. An yit Harve hadn't got drunk onct, nor gambled, nor cut up in any way, an his language was as good as what mine is. Fitten to use anywheres.
 "June, O co'se, the year was up, an they had a celebration, an Harve jest nachally an pintedly wouldn't go out to the woodshed where the boys had got the bottle hid. Sweet cider was the strongest he took, an he sniffed at that right suspicious to see if it wasn't little on the turn.
 "Along in the fall HarVe's aunt died an left him $1,700 an lot in Tuwall City with a good house on it. This aunt of Harve's had allus been set against him an swore up an down that he wouldn't never git none O her money. She didn't take no stock in his reformin', neither; but she died sudden without makin her will, an Harve, bein' the onliest kid she had, he got it anyway.
 "There was folks that said they looked to see Harve Simpson drink himself to death now; but riches did mt seem to have no effect on him. He buckled right into his work, an come to the house an ct his meals without kickin' an then he'd go to bed an sleep until Ira Cancannon woke him up and ast to be took for walk about the room.

THE REFORMATION OF HARVE.

q claim that the ol man done jest right" declared Solomon Baker. Tiff I and a gal an a feller like Clippie came pawin' an nickin' around the place, I'd sure make him weigh two barrs heavier than what he was be- fore"
 "That wouldn't hep matters none,' argued the storekeeper. "All is, you might get off with ten years, stid O a life sentence if you got a good jury. You can't reform man with shot gun, and there aint no doubt but what a feller braces up a right smart onct in a while when he takes shine to a good woman. It's like religion" :"
 "You talk heap with your mouth, Rufe," said old man Somarindyk. "Haint like religion, because it don't never hurt the preacher, to amount to much, when feller backslides. Mar ryin' an ornery cuss ain't the way to reform him neither. The reform be- gins to tarnish in about month an then, the woman tries to polish it up it wears right off.
 Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't" observed Washington Han cock. "There was feller onct back in Saline county name of Harve Simp- son that was about as ornery cuss as you'd ever see. He'd get drunk an lie, 'an' steal, an fight, an talk common, like he was drivin' balky OK en, an was in hurry to get some place.
 "There wasn't no sort of meanness that Harve wouldn't do; an he was jest smart enough to keep out O Jaii, an that's all.
 "Well, he fell in love with gal name of Berry Brookings an he re- formed right away, as soon as she'd married him. I reckon he didn't hardly wait to get married afore he commenced for to lead a sober, right eous life.
 "They all do," commented old man Somarindyk, sourly.
 ''It wasn't no month business with Harve," said Hancock. "He was jest as good two months from the time they were married as he was when he started. Berry's folks talked heap like you do. They all allowed that it wasn't goin' to last. The woman as marries man to reform him is a sendin' out copper-plate invitations to ever kind O trouble that there is, they tole her.

WAS UNABLE TO READ,
BUT MADE HIS MILLION.
So Long islander Bought Land Ad-
joining Vanderbilt Estate.

John Leahy Of Long Island, who
made more than 100000, although
he could neither read nor write, is dead
at his home in Lakeville, N. Y. His
shrewdness and judgment seemingly
compensated for his lack of education.
Leahy, who was seventy, came to
the United States from Ireland many
years ago. He bought Long Island
farm for small sum and made a
good living as a farmer and truck gar
dener. Soon after consolidation he
sold his farm at a profit of 100000,
after which he. bought land adjoining
Deepdale, the estate of William K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., at Lakeville
Many times overtures were made by
Vanderbilt and his agents to induce
Leahy to sell, but he had no further
need Of money and always declined.
He felt that, having accumulated q
million himself, he was entitled to q
residence in the millionaire colony.
The 100000 made by the sale of the
original farm was more than trebled
in. the past ten years Notwithstanding
Leahy's inability to read the hundreds
of legal documents to which he affixed
his mark. All his checks were signed
by the same mark Several sons sur

Nuremberg Profited by Demand From
American Children.

Nuremberg Profited by Demand From
American Children.
The bulk of the American toy pur-
chase at Nuremberg for 1910 has been
figured, and 1t Is notable that it is
considerably larger than in 1909.
For the first nine months of last
year the declared value Of the toys
shipped from that district to the Unit
ed States was $1,854,319. This is
$246,186 greater than the shipments
for the same period OF 1909 and only
$50,058 less than the shipments for the
entire year. Toy exports to America
for the last quarter will probably
reach $350,O00, making the total for
the year something over $4,000 900, an
increase of more than Is per cent over
1909.
These toys pay an average of 80 per
cent duty, or total Of about $4,000,
and thus without taking account of
freight they cost the American import
ers in round figures about $3,O00,00O.
From the best information obtainable
100 per cent is a small figure to add
for freight charges, profits of whole
salers and profits Of retailers. Thus
the toys bought in the single city of
Nuremberg last year for the amuse-
ment of the boys and girls Of the
nUited States cost the American do
nors the round sum of $6,0O0,OO0.
