fmukfar k tec man i read this lit tie paragraph and my mind wont bak six years- i knew john bris- bon and i also knew his twin brother joseph i wm familiar with detaijs of the action that placed john brisbcn in a felons cell and now when the said affair is brought bck to my mind bo vividly i must write it oat for never before have i met in prose or poetry in real life or in romance a greater hero than plain mat teroffact john brisben the brisbena came of fiood atook- i think the greatgrandfather of my here emigrat ed to kentucky when kentons ration be- tween the present city of kayvilfe and the historic old town of washingtoi waa the principal settlement on the dark and bloody ground ha came from upper pennsylvania and located about five- miles from the ohio river on limestone creek he wai an indostrioas strong- limbed ironhearted old fellow and in a few years his turroundings were of the most com fortable description one of hia sons edwin briaben once represented kentucky in the federal congress i think he was the grandfather of john and joseph eris- ben their fathers name was samlet and he died when they wore little children feavinj hig wife an ozcollenl blaeglass turn and a snog little fortune in stocks bonds and mortgages the widow remain ed unmarried until her death mrs bamael brisben was a good w6man and she idol- ized her twin boys like most twins the brothers resembled each other in a striking manner and even intimate acquaintances could not tell them apart but although the physical resemblance was m strong there was grafc dissimilarity in the dispoei- twns of the twins joseph brisben was very anily and morose sometimes cunning and revengeful he was withal a dreamer tod enthusiast a man veil learned in books a brilliant frothy talker when he chose to be sociable which was seldom a splendid horseman and a most excellent ahoc john brisben on the contrary was cheerful and bright honorable and forgiv ing he was a mn of high moral prin ciple intensely practical and methodical cared little for books and although he said but little was a splendid companion he was a poor horseman and r dont think he ever shot a gnn in his life he saw nothing of the poetry of life and as iox sport he enjoyed himself only when hard at work he loved his brother and when they were boys together suffered punishment many times and uncomplainingly that todifl might go scot free fi iifj was therefore a constant sacrifice bat the object of this loving adoration made but shabby returns for his unselflah devotion they were 20 years old when their mother died very suddenly joseph made a great pretence of grief and was so hy sterical at the grave that he had to be led away john oil ha contrary never demonstrat ive took great affliction with his customary coolness he said bat little and shed no tears the property left to the boys was con siderable the day they were 21 years old the trustees mat and made settlement there was the bineglass farm valued at 150000 and 9100000 in wellinvested securities which could be turn tfo money joseph stntftdet division wa nsvey out mi for ft ner ive m 175000 lii money for myshire so this sort of division waa made john continued on at the homestead working in his plain methodical way and slowly add ing to his share of the money what be could raise out of the profits of the farm joseph with his newly acquired wealth set up an establishment at the nearest town and be gan a life of pleasure of the grosser sort his brother gave him no ad wee for he knew it was useless joseph spent his money with great prodigality and before he knew it he was a beggar in the mean time johns 25000 had doubled itself one day joseph came to him with a full confession of his pecuniary troubles jack he said j i am not only a beg- gar but i am heavily in debt help me out like a good fellow and i will settle down and begin life in sober earnest with my capacity for b a sinews i can boon make money enough to repay you i have sown my wild oats and with a little help i can soon recover ail that i have squandered so foolishly for an answer john brisben placed his name to an order for the 25000 he had earned so laboriously will that be enough jodie he asked because x have as much more which yoa can have if it is necessary this will be sufficient old fellow was the reply in two years i will pay it back ho went bock to town drew his money paid his debts sold some of his horses and discharged several of his senants twenty thousand dollars was left oat of the loan he invested this in business sud for a while seemed to have really reformed john was encouraged to say jodie will come out all right he is smurtcr than i and iu fie years will be worth more than 1 could make in a life time in less than three years joseph bria- beas affair were in the hands of his cred itors and sheriffs officers closed out his business again lie turned to his brother for help and sympathy i own that i managed a trine careless- ivi he said by way of explanation ex perience is a dear teacher and the lesson i have learned i rhall never forget if yoa come to my assistance now i can soon re cover myself once more john brisben placed his name to a check payable to the order of his brother and joseph entered into business again in two years he was a bankrupt i shall never succeed in business jack he said help me out of this trouble and i will live with yoa on the farm i shall succeed as a farmer it took all of john brisbsas hoard to pay his brothers debts but he made no complaint uttered no reproach he baid i am glad yoa are coming back to the farm jodie toa need do no work and we will be very happy together so joseph took up his residence at the farm and remembering his brothers words devoted his time principally to hunt ing fishing and riding about the country- in the meantime john brisben had fallen in love and the daughter of a neigh boring farmer compton by name was his promised wife being- a man of strict honor himself having full confidence in his brother he did not object when joseph began to pay his affianced very marked at tention i am glad he likes her he thoaght i am so busy o5 the farm that i have little time for pleasure and alice is so fond of amusement one night joseph came to him just as the shadows of the evening vort beginning to fall- there was a triumphant ring in his voice as he spoke jack old boy he said holding out his hand congratulate me i think that from today i can date the beginning of a new life alice compton has promised to be my wife he was too much engrossed with his new happiness to see the effect of this announce ment as portrayed on johns face he did not notice how the strong mans hand trembled in his own la it true faltered john at last why of course it is are you not glad we love each other and shall be very happy repeated john mechanically and all the sunshine of his life sunk behind the heavy clouds of despair yes jodie i am glad and i wish you long years of hap piness he turned away and staggered rather than walked to his own room he did not stir all night once a deep sobbing groan struggled to his lips and the moonbeams struggling through the window fell full upon his face and surprised two great ears stealing down his pale cheeks he brushed away this evidence of weakness and sorrow and when the morrow came no one looking into his calm serene eyes would have guessed how hard was the bat tlethat had been fought and won in that lonely chamber they were married and the man reject ed by the bride and supplanted by the groom was the first to congratulate the newlymarried pair a vacant house on the farm was fitted ap for their reception and john brisbena money paid for the funuahing 11 hereafter jodie he baid we will divide the profits of the form i dont need much and yoa shall have the larger ahare t js t ten yej john brit- i forked ftm dawn till dark that bis brother might play the gentleman and keep in comfort the largo family which the years had drawn around him jihad been neoet sarj to mortgage the old honwrtead to raise money ft pay tfoieph gambling debts for of late years he had played heavilyand had invariably lost one day it was in the summer of 1871 a forged check was presented at one of the banks of the shire own by joseph brisbeo and the monsy for which it called was unhesitatingly paid over to him he was under the influence of liquor at the time and deeply interested in a game of cards for high stakes which was in pro gress the check was for 12500 1 think before daylight the next morning he had lost every dollar of it to drown his chagrin he became beastly drunk and while in this condition an officer arrived and apprehended him for forgery and uttering a forged check the prisoner was confined to jail and word of his disgrace sent to john brisben the latter read the message and a mist came over his eyes he groaned audibly and hut for a strong effort would have fallen to the floor so weak was he by the shock she most not know it he said to him self and he made instant preparations to visit his brother when he reached the jail he was admitted to the cell of the wretched criminal the brothers remain ed together several hoars what passed daring the interview will never be known when john brisben emerged from the jail he went straight to the magistrate who had issued the warrant for the apprehen sion of joseph brisben squire he said in his slow hesitat ing way you have made a mistake in what way ilr brisben asked the magistrate who had a high regard for hia visitor yoa have caused the arrest of an inno cent man but began the magistrate issue an order for my brothers instant release he is innocent of the intent to do wrong 1 am the guilty man- i forged the name of charles ellison to the check which he uttered h did not know that it was a forgery you cried the magistrate you a f orger iin possible nothing is impossible in these days said the whitehaired old man sternly i alone am guilty ily brother is innocent so stoatiy did he aver that he was the forger that the magistrate reluctantly iasoed a warrant for his arrest and at the same time wrote an order for the release of soseph brisben my constable will be in soon said the magistrate but the old hero picked ap both the papers i will not tro able him he said i will execute both papers and he did handing the jailer both papers he explained their meaning thus they have made a mistake it is i who am to be your prisoner my brother is innocent accordingly joseph brisben was released and returned to the farm john remained at jail a prisoner when the extraordinary affair became known several prominent citizens offered to go the accused mans bond but he would not accept their kind offices at the trial be pleaded guilty and was sentenced to fifteen years imprison ment at hard labor in the penitentiary joseph came to see hirn before be was re moved to frankport but their interview was a private one joseph brisben remained at the farm but he was a changed man from the day of his release from jbil down to the time of his death he was never known to touch a card and a drop of liquor never passed his lips last april he died and his oonfes- sion duly sworn to before the justice of the peace was made pablic after his burial in substance it was thus that he was guilty of the forgery for which bis heroic brother was suffering a long imprisonment it was my brothers wish not mine reads the document he insisted that he who had no ties of blood or marriage could better suffer the punishment and disgrace than i who had dependent upon me a large family noble john brisben 1 of such stuff are heroes made a dainty cradle w recently saw a dainty bed for a child made as follow the foundation was a simple little iron bedstuad this had been painted a perfect goldon color with gilt paint which comes for coloring gilt picture frames to the top of the bed wi affixed a frame of woodwork having a circle at the top and slender boards reselling to the bedstead and forming a sort of triangle this was covered with a white linen dra per caught back so as to look 1 ke angels wings and on it were embroidered in out line stitch with pale blue and gold two angels one on either side with their hands joined in the middle the circle at the top was embroidered in a design of pink roses and butterflies beneath the angels was the little prayer ow i lay mo nown to sleep i pray to god my soul to keep if i should die before i wake i pray the lord my

the idea occurred to him having just cut some tomatoes to put the leaves around the trunks and branches to keep off the sun he says my surprise was great to find on the following day the trees en tirely free from their invaders wishing to carry the experiment further i steeped in water some of the fresh leaves of the tomato and sprinkled with this infusion other plants roses etc in two days they were free i therefore deem it a duty to make known this singular and useful property of the tomato leaves found by the merest accident be contented fieader a word in your ear have you a home stay
