dealer in marble granite and j everything pertaining to cemetery work direct importer of all kinds of granite and marble i- having lately visited uie bay of fundy granite qnaniee and harlngturchased the entire stock there ive stood it just as long as im going to i theres no use in being so particular and jasper jones threw his cap into a chair his bat on the floor and stretched himself upon the floor with a defiant took on his young face what will you do when she comes iu and says in that quiet strong way jasper your hat is out of place hang it up in tho entrj pleaso and put- your bat behind tho shed door said elsie with a droll imitation of her stepmothers voice and manner ill just say im going to when ive rested awhile weve all jumped at her bidding ever since ehe came ive gone back to wipe my feet and hang up my hat and clean my overshoes and all that till i am sick of it im sick of it too said elsie i left my clothes where they fell last plight when i went to bed i was so j tired mother didnt happen to look in or i sup pose shed have roused me from bed to hang them tip its awfully tiresome to have to put everything just so every time ma never made us do it said jasper and the house was always tidy enough to suit me said elsie not so nico as mother keeps it perhaps bnt i like to he free and easy and i hate to be prim the old order was good enough say said jasper lets strike i strikes are all the rage nowadaya when folks want the rules changed they strike well talk itup to bess and clarence and robc and if wore all in it motherll see that she may as well give up thats the way it always works dont you see 1 i dont want to do anything bad said elsie you know ma said if i god sent us anybody who was willing to be a mother to us we wero to bo good and obedient well we have been and we mean to be only she neednt be so much more particular than ma was bess and clarence and little rose wero easily led to embrace the views of their brother and sister the league was formed jasper appointed as leader and itf was agreed that uie strike should come off be fore father comes home j the first thing to do is to form a pro cession nnd maroh said jasper tand while wero doing that ill think up my speech our marching will show mother that we mean business it was fine fun for the little ones m they of gray and red ginnite nionuuients headstone ot strips of red ana white

from soto 00 por cent below all other dealers that isnt the way we ought all to keep rnurobing said jasper but were all hungry 90 perhaps youd better just as you like said their mother aud if jasper and clarence will bring somo light dry wood from the shed we shall have lunch all the sooner flags were oonsigiied to bess and rose and the procession broke up or the present nothing more was heard of the strike till lunch was over perhaps it would have been forgotten altogether but mrs jones herself remiuded them of it by saying i have my answer ready now if you wish to heajrit 0 yes we do i form into line here i there worg ready i said the children well when i oante here you all threw your things down just where it happened and often they were lost or broken or boil ed audit always made tho hpute disorderly i suppose your own mother used to pick them up for you but i thought you were old enough to begin to learn to put them away yourselves but it seems you do not like my plans now i cant have a disor derly house so we must compromise the matter that is the usual way in case of a strike i believe yes wo should like to compromise said jasper thats just what we want very well there is a large hogshead in the back room whenever yon leave any of your things about i shall not ask you to put them in place any more i will just drop them into that hogshead we will call it the disorderly barrel and when you want them you can look there for them jasper and elsie looked somewhat non plused and glanced dolefully at each other but clarence and bess and rose hailed the compromise as every way satisfactory and the strike was over the first thing that went into the dis order barrel were the flags which had been thrown together npona settee mrs jouea dropped iu this first contribution with a quiet amused smile for several days jasper and elsie were rather careful to put away their things for the hogshead was deep and wide and it would ho such a bother to get them ont if they once got in but presently the barrel began to fill up and the fuller it grew the more difficult it was to find any small article that had been consigned to its depths mrs jones seemed fully satisfied with the arrangement she no longer re- minded them to lay their things in the proper places and books slates hats pon- notp marbles and jumping ropes were quietly dropped in together more and more frequently the cry arose in the houbo where is my jackjknife v where is my best alley where is my tippet little roses small piping voice was gen erally heard in reply in the sorder barrel i spect 1 and the discomfited loser ran often in hot haste torumniage among the medley of articles the older ones stood on a chair and reached down to search but when time- pressed and search was unavailing they wero ofteu brought to the extremity of turning the barrel upon its side polling ont the contents and when the lost article was found tumbling them back again but clarence and bess who were not strong enough to tip the barrel over had been known more than once to olimb into it much to the detriment of somo of its eon- tents jasper and elsie complained of this butt the mothers laughing reprwf in no wise availed to prevent a repititionj of the offense consequently many things came out of the disorder barrel so crashed and spoiled that they might almost as well have been thrown into the fire i i cant go to the picnio tomorrow nor to school nest day nor anywh ire any more as i see said elsie one day my hat is just ruined the crown is crashed wouldnt let him speak there is a- time to keep tiilence but it evidently was not the right time in the case of a boy mentioned who lives in nor- walki conn he got a sliver in his loot and hi spite of his protestations his mother and grandmother decided to place a poul tice ojver tho wound the iboy vigorously resisted 1 wont have noj poultice li he deolared stoutly yes you will eddies deolared both grandmother and mother firmly and the majocity being two to one jit bedtime the poultice wasready the boy was not and he proved so refractory that a switch was brought into requisition it wan arranged that- the grandmother should apply the poultice while tire mother was to stand with the uplifted switch at the bedside tho boy was told that if he opened his motith he would receive that which would keep him quiet as the hot poultice touched ihe boys foot lie opened his motith you he began keep still said his mother shaking the stick while the grandmother busily applied the poultice once more the little fellow opened his mouth i but thq uplifted switch awed him to silence in a minute more the poultice was firmly in place and the boy was tucked in bed j there now said bis mother the old sliver will be drawn out and eddies foot will be all well as the mother and grandmother moved triumphantly away a shrill small voice came from under the bedclothes j youve got it on the wrong foot technical violation j that the constitution of the united states and of this state recognize the liquorbusiness as a legitimate and proper one and that it should be treated before tho law as fairly as any other reputable business we therefore

fast come come said she at labt havent yoa kept up that play long enough seems to me it is rather small business for yoa jasper and elsie were strikin said clarence waving his flag just like the big folks do in and ont up and down they btili kept their maroh there was a curious expres sion on their stepmothers face whenever they passed through ths kitchen where she was ironing their clothes j finally they halted before her j and standing with toes all even with a crack in the kitchen floor they made a low bow as jasper had instructed them and then he began his speech as follows honored and respected madam our mother we have tried to do as you want ed us to and we dont wish now to be bad or rebellious or any thing but we think one and all that its too hard when a fellow comes in all tired out with base- ball or something to have to run straight and put his bat in one place and his hat dn another this strike is torto see if we cant come to some agreement that we shall live a little more freehand eaijy as elaie says and do a little more as weve a mind to do about sueh things we dont wish to be very disorderly butwe would rather not have to be quite so particular i suppose said she you expect me to make a speech in reply but 1 must have a little time to think what i ought to say besides it is almost lunohtime and i must get these things ironed first sup pose yon march np andpwn on the side walk in front of the house till my speech is ready j cant i iron and you go right to getting lonohi asked elsie pressed by hunger jasper 1 its made us ten times more trouble than we had before i i should like to set that old 1 disorder barrel afire and burn it up with all there is in it and never hear of it again well i own that im siok of my job said jasper j suppose we strike once more and get it abolished o yes strike again 1 wheres my flog i wonder said clarence the consequences are not fun to me baid elsie and im not going through any more of that silly inarching im just going to ask mother to change back to the old way thats all bnt we ought all to go together and ask her because we were all in the strike said jasper well then lets do it right away said elsie so the procession was again formed and without much preparation and with no needless parade they sought their mother and made kuown their request she cheer fully promised that the odious barrel should be abolished aud that evening she kindly pressed and retrimined elsies school hat so that the soiled ribbon and crushed place were no longer visible and henceforth things returned to their old order
