A Public Sale on the Farm

The other evening after returning
from school I picked up the Courier
and this is the advertisement that l
read:
ION Saturday, October rs. the fol-
lowing will be sold at public sale on
the farm of Jas. r. Reams, five miles
west Of the city of Ottumwa: Four
teams of horses, one span of mules,
five milking COWS, one hundred head
of sheep, about thirty hogs (ready for
market), twenty small pigs and two
hundred hens and chickens. Besides
these all the farm wagons and ploWs,
harness both for work and driving,
one hay loader, and one large harrow,
besides some household goods. Per-
sons buying will be given good time to
pay for these things"
Well, when I read this I thought
what fun it must be to attend big
farm sale and all at once it struck me,
Reams was the name Of one OF my
boy friends. So I called him to the
phone and said, Donald is it your
grandfather who is going to have a
sale."'
YES" he said.
l asked him if he was going to 60.
EYES," he again said.
Then | asked him If he cared If
went with him and when he said Eyes"
and papa said yes we planned for
Saturday.
Donald came past after me and we
started Just after daylight and with
fast walking we arrived at Donald s
grandfather's place at 10 o'clock.
Ny, such a crowd of men as there
was. We went into the house and
several women were in the kitchen
preparing things to eat. There was a
big stack Of wooden plates on
a table. They had baked beans to put
on them and then with each plate
went two sandwiches and two pickles
and I heard one of the ladies say they
were making coffee so everybody could
have all they wanted.
When we had rested little while
we went out where the men were.
They had all the cattle and horses and
all kinds of of tools for farming. We
looked all around and after while our
attention was drawn to big fellow
had not seen before.
He climbed up in the end of big
green farm wagon and In a lowd voice
said, Gentlemen, I will open this sale
by putting up this fine pair of thorough
bred Clydesdale horses. What do l
hear offered for them?"
A man in the crowd yelled 5000.
1.-TWO hundred dollars, two hundred
dollars said the auctioneer. Gen
tlemen, do hear higher bid?'
Some other man said $210.
1.-TWO hundred ten, two hundred
ten, do l hear two hundred twenty
five?"
Some fellow said, II will offer that"
Then they kept on until never heard
such lot of talking and yelling until
they finally sold the horses. at five
hundred and seventy-five dollars.
Then they put up the COWS and after
lot more yelling and bidding they
sold them all from thirty-f1ve to sew
enty-f1ve dollars.
Then they put up a young driving
horse and one man said, II want to
see some one ride that fellow before
I bid on him." Then they put young
man in the saddle and, say, that horse
could do. a good job of running and
they got a fine price for it,
Then they sold all the sheep and
hogs, and one lady came out and took
all the chickens. She said that she
had lost all Of hers through some

Comforts name, because she had
such smooth. shiny brown hair-the
Smooth Auntie smiled. She took
dilapidated little Diana-of-the' Phesians
Smith into her arms, and rocked her
as If she had been baby. ..i
Yes, as old as that-possibly lit
tie older. She wasn't very handsome,
of course. You couldn't expect such
an old, old dolly as that to be hand
some. They told me-the people who
take care Of her-that she is the Oldest
doll in the world
why, auntie-why!"
'Dearie mel" murmured the curly
auntie. 5.@H
The big boy whistled.
Has she-is her little girl-mamma
live to see to herr" Comfort queried
in rather an awed tone. She always
felt awed in front of very old people
and twenty-five hundred years old!
NO." auntie said gravely. Her lit
tie girl-mamma died tire centuries be-
fore Christ, Comfort. She was a little
princess and lived in Egypt. When
she died, they wrapped her little
body in soft, strange wrappings that
kept 1t all these twenty-five centuries
just the same"
Little girl-mummy," muttered the
big boy to himself.
Eyes, baby-mummy. And. when
they opened her tomb-people of this
century-they found the old, old
dolly held tight in the little princess's
hand. She had held it there twenty
two hundred years."
"Oh!" breathed Comfort, very soft
ly. She reached out for Diana-of-the-
'Phesians and clasped her in her
arms. Her face was very tender and
loving. Diana-of-the-'P hesians seemed
suddenly very young indeed and very
dear.
1.-The princess's dolly is made of
wood-rudely cut out. 1t Is little and
homely, but the little princess loved
it." --. ,
"Oh, yes; she loved it," Comfort
whispered.
1T is in the British museum now"
the Smooth Auntie went on. ''They
keep it among the sacred relics; and
there it lies under the glass, looking
up at this queer, unfamiliar world Of
today. If it could feel, how it would
wonder where It's little dark-faced
mother was!"
"An' how lonesome it would feel"
finished Comfort softly. Poor little
dolly! '-Annie Hamilton Donnell, in

Star
BY Caroline Stetson Allen.

Jimmy had fairly good time all
day, but his happiest hour was the
cuddly one when mamma came into
the nursery to put him to bed. She
still called him her baby, though ne
was fast outgrowing his frocks.
Morning was very we'll in it's way. AS
soon as papa's breakfast was over, he
came upstairs and caught Jimmy in
his strong arms, and tossed him high
in the air. Papa was sure, too, to sing
a charming verse, though it began
with rather long words-Latin, per
haps-
Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
