well, sir, it was into the middle
of this that Hi Briggs took his
plunge. First thing he did was to get
Henson and Bull together and make
them shake hands. They hadn't ex-
pected to meet and they glared at
each other.
I'll never shake hands with man
that tells me a good dime is made of
lead and aluminium says Henson,
glazing at Bull.
"Ill never shake hands with man
that tries to pass lead and alumni
mum dime on a hardworking butch
er,' says Bull to Henson.
How Hi managed it l don't know,
but before he let them leave his
house they were fast friends. And
that set all Mosstown gaping, for
they went down street arm in. arm,
like long-lost brothers.
Next thing we knew, Hi had been
to Miss Jane and Joe. He didn't tell
us how he worked that, but next
morning Miss Jane was wearing a
smile that would have carried to the
post office, and Joe was spruced up,
in new suit and escorting her down
the town.
Yes, we're going to be married
tomorrow, thanks to that good old
man. says Joe to his cronies.
"The news caused sensation. Got
into the county papers, and there was
some talk of Hi being asked to allow
himself to be shown at the county
fair. Lots of other communities tried
to start 'Make-It-Up Days. but they
hadn't HIS powers. It's a gift, that's
what l call it, sir, and Hi, having
been naturally sour all his life, had
more sweetness to draw on than most
folks. At least, that's what l make
of it.
However, nobody believed that Hi

mad
would you believe it? Every quar-
rel in town was ended. Hi went here
and there like one of Elijah's ravens,
and that, sir, was the dullest winter
ever known in Mosstown.
1--WE hadn't appreciated before how
much our honest hate of our neigh
bors had kept things stirred up and
lively. Jane and Joe got married
and went on their honeymoon to
Barnboro, ten miles away. Henson
and Bull no longer scowled at each
other, and the Sewing Circle had to
shut down, because there was no
body to attend.
Hi had somehow begun to get less
popular as time went by, but it wasn't
until Joe and his wife returned from
their honeymoon that Mosstown sort
of sized up the situation. There was
as prosperous a little town as ever
existed been ruined by one benighted
old man. Rents were dropping fast,
because there was no interest in
Mosstown any more. The pastors sal
aries had been cut, and building OPP
erations we're being suspended. There
wasn't any more charitable work, and
there wasn't any more fun anywhere.
And in the midst of it all stalked Hi
Briggs, smiling to himself as if he
he'd done us all a service.

it was when we found Joe Wendell

FIGHT TO Be MADE ON
WILSON'S TRADE BODY
Opposition TO RubIee and Hur-

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The failure
OF one or more of the presidents
nominations for the federal trade com
mission now seems certain. The en-
tire commission may go over until
next session of congress for want OF
confirmation. but they viii be given
recess nominations and will organize
and proceed with the work. The pres
ident is understood to have legal ad
vice on this point to see II he has this
power to make recess nominations n
the senate fails to confirm the APP
pointments.
The fight against George Rublee,
Bull Moose member from New Hamp-
shire, who seems to have gone over
to the Democratic party in the last
campaign, is likely to be one Of the
most persistent IL not the most effec.
