hid got il updde down mrs sliddje- ton a uji giant vromaa ox sixty who by all oattrard indioitions oaght certainly to hare been an old moid as viewing him severely through iier irpscucics i hope not my deax said tiie dcaoa i hope cot what pat sach an unpleas- int idea as tliit into yaor head doat be hypocrite deacon tvlid ilrs ittddjeton severely a hyjocrite eliza 1 yes a hjpocrite said the lady tmcr- gtiticalh nodding her head what is it but hypocrisy i siioold uke to know to sit here and pretend you havent jast given half a cold chicken to that wrtlchcd tramp who is limping off across the swamp lot the top o the deacoak bald head had turned very red j he looked so cold and hungry eliza said he voa shoald have seen him eat aad drink eat and drink eh satirically repeat ed mrs hiddlclon what did you give iiim to drink id uke to know only a bowl of cold coffee my dear said the deacon deprecating y and that red comforter he hai around his neck really my dear stammered the de tected culprit after the nice new ranser which miss mitchell gave me for christ mas i did not need the old red comforter and the poor wretch was mac with cold blae indeed shrilly echoed mre middlston i wish hed been black and parple and all sorts o colors before he had ever come here but it dont make any difference- who it is or what ridiculous trumpedup story he tells anything will take yoa in here we are in debt the very house over dor heads mortgaged the land running down for want of proper at tention and yoa are shovelling oat oar household goods to even- wretched lazy idle loafer and vagabond that comes along my dear my dear feebly remon strated he deacon dont till mel said mrs middleton waxing still more wrathful as she medita ted apoa her wrongs all lha country knoxs it there isnt a beggar nor a tramp bat knows he is rare of a trapper and a shilling if he comes here and gets yoar ear my dear wc are told in the good book we arc told in the good book angrily interranted mrs middleton that charity begins at home or if not these very words its the same thicg theres lame peter pike the fiddler im fairly sick of the sound of his squeaking old tunes i dont believe oar barn would ever have burned up if st hadnt been for his old pipe the night he slept there it was the sparks from the locomotive ray dear which sparks from the locomotive indeed cried the lady the meals youve given him the nights lodgings hes had in oar barn and once five dollars towards baying him a new violin when his got cracked by the frost and served him right 1 i vow and declare deacon ive no patience with you you are ruining us yes ruining deacon middleton shifted uneasily in his chair and grew very red if that xantippe spouse of his had only known of the coins slipped at odd times intothe old fiddlers horny hand the cold meat and megs of cider surreptitiously sent into the barn for lame peters benefit the ten dollar bill at christmas to help hay him a warm coat h bat theres gtit to be an end of all this said mrs middleton excitedly ive had a lock pat on the battery doftr and im going to bay hobart hoiey big dog that ia as savage as a meat are trad then well see very well my dear said the mild deacon im tired of keeping free tavern for all the wretches between here and moant kearsarge reiterated mrs middleton yes my dear said the deacon havent yoa anything to say for your self cried mrs middleton what should i say my dear gently questioned the eacon and the lady flounced indignantly out of the room bat tbe good mans face grew very aad and dejected when she was gone its true enough said be to himelfas be laid tbe newspaper on tbe table and let hbkpocacic tall slowly into their caw we arc ruined although poor kliza didnt renliie it when nbo tinoko the words old kickerson ia clamorou for his money and he iuccrcst in all behind and ho mortgage it going lo be foreclosed next month i really dont k ho poor deacon added knitting his brows together after a puzzled fashion how i havo been careless or im provident but nomehow everything has gouc wrong there was last summers dry bpell and then that sickness among the cattle and the fall of prices in grain and he loss of iwcnttfons of hay in the barn that burned up nothing but one continu ous run of ill ljckl aud theres no use trying o fight ugiriusl fate any longer so far as i can see we must just let tbe old place go the place where my father was bora before me and try to rent a little house somewhere and tupport ourselves by raising small fruit and vegetables for he eummcrhotels as best we may i dont mind it so much myself but i dont know how to tell eliza and one or wo tears the agonizing tears of old sg escaped from under he deacons eyelids and trickling slowly down his cheek fell with a noiseless plash upon ins knee im a potrooa to despair said the good old mau to hinich what docs he bible ray i have been youg acd now am old yet have i not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread cant i com fort mjsclf with that instinctively he reached out his hand for the old family ikble with he marbled cover and tha dufaccd gilt binding on the lack hut at that moment there was a knock ut the door and ia came lawyer spruce a dapper httlclhan with twinkling blue eu hair just frosted with gray and a suspicion only a suspicion of a red uose the deacons heart sank within him he eyed the lawyer as a dying stag might eye the hungry vulture already swooping above him bat with the instinct of inborn hos pitality he i iff i red him a chair thankee lkaooh thankee said the lawer but i cant stay ive come o sec you on tome business connected- with mr peter pike commonly known as lame pete the fiddler the deacon opened ids mild eyes eh said he is he sick poor soul hes dead liid the lvycr is he said mfddlctoa poor feihw oar old fellow i always thought a deal of lame ivtc well well we must bury him decently and see that he dont lack a neat tombstone til give my share tascanlsit and he pat his itind in bis pocket the lawyer smiled shrewdly youvc mistakvti deacon middleton he said altogether mistaken mr peter pike has not died penniless he lias left enough to bury him and a little besides indeed said the deacon i am glad to hear it he ma it have ben a rather eccentric character sail the lawyer he his left quite a sam in the savings bank four thousand dollars yoa dont suy so said mr middleton four thou and dollars eh that is a deal of moaey if iliad four thousand dollars now yon have srid the lawjer what roared the deacon that is precisely what i came to tell you siid mr spruce we found a dirty crumpled papr in one of his pockets which proved k bo a legally executed will and which makes yoa his sole heir and legatee me shouted the deacon his heir but im no sort of relation to htm so nor nubody else said the lawyer but that dont interfere with the validtty of the will bless me said the deacon why thats cnoaglt to raise the mortgage on the old farm 1 of course it is nodded lawyer spruce he says ia the will that you are the best friend he ever had and that now you will understand howsincerely grateful he was for all your kindness poor old pete poor old chap said the deacon wiping the moisture from his eves four thousand dollars well i wonder what eliza vill say for the good deacon had got his reward at last and there- was no danger of his ending his days in the poorhouse he carried it three or foorofus had closed oar um brellas and gathered under a store awuing at the lower eqd of market street phila delphia to wait for a grip car along came a colored man carrying a faded and rent old umbrella and we all noticed that he carried the shelter tipped forward at such an angle thai bis feet were protected at the expense of his back stop sir 1 snouted the man at my left- who had the look and bearing of a jadge yes sah whats wanted queried the colored man i want to show you how lo carry an umbrella your toes are dry while your back is all wet i dout believe that one person in fifty knows how to carry an um brella so as to get tbe most protection oat of it its an old one sah yes i eee but you dont grasp ha handle right here take mine yea rah take the handle with yoar right hand and carry it on a line with yoar right shoulder there thats better caut get along with sich stiffness sah tj yoa can hold the handle on a line with yoar shoulder thats it go ahead the negro marched off at a steady pice and while he was stepping off the gentle man turned to as with its a knack to shelter yoarseli under aa umbrella particularly if it rains hard and the want of that knack provokes me when i see it we agreed with him aud the minutes passed by and a car catue down why where did the nigcer goto asked theowucr of the umbrella wo looked up aud down but he had dis appeared tbe mau ran up the street two aquares bat there wa no african carrying a fine silk umbrella with a gqld handle- not bb he could see wo started to rally him a bit as we wedt up ou the car bat he checked as by saying if any of yoa think i cant lick oa in oue round all yoa got to do is to step off tbe ear i wont detain yoa three minutes how to cure them while- a man ti young and sensitive a good deal may be done to improve hfi morals and manners that would be of no avail when he grows old and hardened and oa theio groandi i take the liberty cf offer- ing valuable advioe to bo society for the suppression of inebriety if there ti oue and if there is not one there ought to be i propose to them that they should add an instrument for the production of inatantan ecus- photographs and alio a phonograph to their powciiioni and mo them for the promotion of the temperance cause in tbe manner i shall describe deny it though we may we have

hours because his latchkey was giddy and could not find the keyhole now at a usual thing these young men though they may feel a little guilty next day have a general idea that they are after all fine fellows and appeared rather dignified and independent than otherwise we all believed that the horse jumped a fence in graceful spreadeagle fashiou as pictured hones do until the instantaneous photcgraph was made to show us that he draws up his legs as awkardly as a frog in making a leap audit the society were connected by wire with all respectable houies and could be summoned at any hoar lo take an instantaneous photograph of tom as hia grandfather helped him up ttairs or of john with his open moutb half closed eyes and wsudering limbs a he tumbled in at the bail door ou that awful

library while the motes dance as the saa pours through the win dows apon the leather backs of the books while oatside the carta ramble up and down the street ha sits alone among the books poring over

frightened to death what shoald ido if i waked ap in the night aad found a burglar ia the room why i shoald be frightened to death probably a thoasand young girls say hs or something very much like it

of fright once m a while an apparently weak wo man who does not look as though she had anymore courage than a bare will actually ria in her might and capture or kill a rob ber and the public always read of such instances with great satisfaction canada it is well once in a while tor cauadiani tn let the world aud eipecianjtifait portion embraced by the united states know some thing aboat the great rcioarccs of their country while americans are generally intelligent aud well informed aa lo their own country hey have very vague and incorrect ideas as to the outside world including that of

therefore be surprised to learn that eveu after adding alaska canada has more territory than he united stales the area of canada is 3doooo sqaare miles while the united state has lot 2935000 aod alaska 577000 it is still 0- 000 square less than canada there baa been considerable boasting as to the area of teias bat one province of canada that of british colambia ii half as large again and the
