a manufacturer in the neighborhood for the ackleys were a thrifty family noth ing was lost nothing wasted uot even that slippery commodity time the ackleys were a feminine house hold that night for abraham himself the grizzled head of the family had gone to the city to put in a claim far a pension which according to his ideas ought to have been paid half a century back to some old revolutionary ancestor or other t aint to be done said abraham winking his watery blue eyes not even by the united states government itself so it had happened that abigail had foddered the cattle fed the fowls and lock ed the barn door coming in all powdered over with enow her middleaged nose blue with cold never mind girls said mrs ackley with a subdacd chuckle when we inherit our cousin jones property we

down his foot as j be wont help him any more i every one for himself eh said the i old woman with a chuckle mrs ackley nodded she had ventured upon this confidential family communica tion as a sort of hint to cousin jones not to lend money to the impecunious abraham junior if there was money floating a- round in the golden atmosphere that sur rounded mrs jones why should it be given over into such velvet hands as those of mrs abraham junior perhaps suggested maria sweetly mrs jones would like some hot buttered toast well since youre so preasin i am rather partial to it said mrs jones and added abigail jealous lest she should be outdone in these sweet deeds of hospitality theres a rory good meat pie iu the pantry which i made myself if meat pie cried the old lady meat pie is a relish for anything going i dont know when ive put my teeth into a good meat pie before bring it on young wo man briinjl it on the three ackleys looked on with beam ing dyes while mrs jones ate and drank like a halffamished lioness and afterward they conducted her to the bedroom where the fire blazed brightly on the painted redbiick hearth and the patchwork silk quilt marias own work was laid osten- tatioosly across the foot of the bed and thjen they all came down stairs closed kf solid phalanx around the fire and looking at one another with meaning in their speculatrve eyes queer aint she said maria r dressed exactly as if she came out of an old ragbag commented abigail hold your tongues girhi said mrs ackjey geniuses are always eccentric and cousin jones is worth a cool forty thousand dollars j early the next morning long before day light had irradiated the sullen darkness of the wintry horizon and mrs ackley was doing her best in carl papers and a dirty flannel wrapper to make the kitchen fire burn an old boxsled stopped at the door aud in came abraham junior brownfaced goodnatured and smiling well mother said he hows the folks tbcyrti alt well enough said mrs acklev who always

a dreadful mistake as weve all of us made this old woman aint our cousin joueiat all its the town poor as abe has took to board old cappen jones wdovr from frog lane and she struck an attitude in

chamber groaned mrs ackley my goodness me how could we be such fools go and wake her up at once said maria to abigail tell her abe ackley is here to take her where she rightly be longs and ask her how she dared to im pose on decent people like us it aint her fault sighed mrs ack ley its ours goodness what idiots weve been well you havent adted me to break fast said abraham junior waggishly but i

ii thats right replied the editor with- ont looking up from his work for it was publication day and there was a stern demand for copy that could not be denied when yon write forit be particular and give your name and postoffice address distinctly ii i will said the solemn man stepping in and taking a chair and dont forget to enclose the money some folks write for the paper and forget to put in any money then they complain because the paper dosent come do you want money when a man writes for your paper v asked the solemn man as his face acquired an additional elongation of course what dye think we print a paper for nn not much if a man writes for the paper we sungose he wants it and if he wants it he must pay for it you dqntunderstand said the solemn man what i want is to write for your paper tlias what you said before and i told you how to do it replied the editor testily swinging around in his hair though i cant see why you cant subscribe right here now just as wells to wait until yon get home and then write for it though may oe you havent the necessary two dollars with yon i respect your independence you dont want tosubscribeforapaperyon are not prepared to pay for thats right but if i write for it if you write for it and inclose the money it will be spent properly ko fear of that subscribers will confer a favour on this office by reporting any carelessness or irregularity on the part of their post- master in delivering the paper i can put a great deal into a letter in sinuated the solemn man neednt put more than two dollars in said the editor unless yoa get up a club usual reduction to clubs i fear you dont comprehend me said the man of solemn visage i want to write for your paper write articles and correspondence yoa know for a remuner ation oh thatfs it why didnt you bay so before thought you wanted to subscribe seemect sort a curious too that yoa coddvt write for my paper to be sent without coming in and telling me about it you will like my letters cant say as to that the most inter esting letters the editor gets as a rule are these abort pithy ones which simply say 1 enclosed please find subscription price to your valuable paper for one year that outweighs a dozen pages of befiections on the dying year or thoughts on discover ing the first jane bug agreat many people want to write fof the paper who have nothing half so interesting to say as that they find their subscription has about expired and here is ibe money for renewing it that is neat and to the point and no editor will throw the- letter into the waste basket without first taking oat the money and duly crediting the subscriber on his aocount write for the paper my friend by all means but dont forget the enclos ure e then the solemn man went away more thoughtful than before twas ever thus nearly ail the great statesmen of the present day can lookback to the time when they would rather stand in the mud and water up to their knees and fish for trout or bullheads than help plant potatoes in the best garden in tho country even the best kind of a boy who is trilling to work gke a major at any other season of the year seemsrave a fearful falling out withairmanner of labor ufthe wing but somehow the spring garden is rnvle each year and the boy grows up to rnanv hood and finally has a boy of his own and and a garden that demands attention then
