IMT Shi Earned tka Rlfht to Have Her Own Way* Xooy Htidmbble WAS carpenter, blacksmith, mender of tabs and barrels, and Jack-of-sll-trades for the rural neighborhood in which he lived. His little shop in which he made horseshoes, shod the farmer*' horses, sharpened plowshares,-made tables, doors, desks, cupboards, bureaus, and occasionally coffins; In which he pounded away at wonderful pork and vinegar barrels, and tightened up dilapidated old tubs and casks; this little shop was situated at a point in the woods, where an old road crossed a new one, and was in itself a queer, patched-up new and old building. Tony owned no corner lots, but no one intruded upon him. His little house, the gray hewn logs, divided by seams of white plastering, seemed cozy and comfortable; and while the shop opened on the road, the house stood back among the trees. North, south, east and west were neighbors within a quarter or half-mile range, and the neighborhood was thickly set­ tled. But no one saw the advantage of corner lots near Tone's shop, not even the speculators and wise men of the village three miles distant, and Tony was sole Res­ ident at the corners, where he had a garden patch that did not flourish and A family that increased rapidly. Tony had a fair skin where it showed above his elbows and below the collar band of his shirt (collar he disdained to wear), but his face had a dark, grimy look. He was strong without being st^ut, and was fond of displaying his strength and prowess. His face was that of a dar­ ing, resolute man, and his neighbors never took much comfort in looking at it. Tony was a handy man, and as the country people said, was not afraid of work. He never received much ready money, but he got his pay in shape of corn or flour or pork, or money in good time. The people who patronized him did not neighbor with him, however. They knew little about the family, but they inferred that Mrs. Hardscrainble had a hard time of it. She was a good- natured, round-faced woman, who was always busy indoors, and who seemed to take great comfort with her children, all of which was a mercy, the good old women of the neighborhood thought, as she had little comfort in her hus­ band. Tony's wife, in those days, did not make much of an impression in the neighborhood. People caught only glimpses of her, but they knew Bhe was a comely woman. While other women of her age in the neighborhood were sallow and broken down, Mrs. Hard- scrabble was fresh, plump and 6trong. The face was attractive, but had little character; and Tony's wife was classed among the simple-minded drudges, and was frequently referred to as a woman -who thought the world and all of her children, but who had not an atom of spirit. And Tony was good to her. That was all people could say about Tony's wife. Tony had never been seen at church. He had certain loose ways and inde­ pendent notions that.the people did not like. He considered that there was no liarm in taking a mess of roasting ears from any man's eon. field whenever he wanted them. He thought the carry­ ing off of some line watermelons from some old farmer's carefullv-guarded truck-patch was good sport. He would take a fine walnut rail from a fence whenever he needed seasoned walnut for frame-work in his shop. He shot - game in and out of season, on Sunday as well as work-days. He had been ^ ; accused of shooting fat, young hogs, and wringing the necks of other peo­ ple's chickenK, but only accused. He would take his boys and go on nutting I; expeditions on Sunday, and always had « an abundant supply of wild grapes, berries, nuts, plums, etc. He was the ireeboter as well as the Jack-of-all- trades of the neighborhood, and was considered a suspicious character. 1 So when it wis announced that Squire Prim's house had been broken into : iyi and owr $1,000 in money taken, and that the smoke-house had been broken ; open the same night, and that the hams and shoulders taken had been found . buried in the woods near Tony's house, ' " no one was surprised. Tony was ar­ rested, had a preliminary examination, was bound over to oourt, could not pro- * cure bail, and was sent to the county - t l jaiL Hia trial came off in due time, he was convicted and sent to the peniten- , w I tiary for live years. People were Agreed that he got what he deserved, but they were sorry for life wife. She was left ^ • with six children, and it was too bad. sgr f ; Many of the good women of the neigh­ borhood eould not find it in their hearts to help her, as she persisted in assert- ... ing her husband's innocence. She clung 4 to the man with what these practical women called a nonsensical, romantic ' affection, aad they had no patience - with her. Others honored her for her 4- ' faith in her husband and for her affec- tion, although they doubted not for a moment that Tony Hardscrabble was guilty as changed. The wife and her bovs and girls kept close to their home, r, ^ grieving as for a fathfr and husband dead. After a few weeks Mrs. Hard- ' scrabble was seen abroad, then at the ; „ county seat, and then, wonder of wonders --this woman,-who had never been a fnile from home since her marriage, b went to the Stale capital. Few of the men would undertake such a journey, g!" Tony's wife received the compliment of *. beiug a plucky woman. In due time a » potioe appeared in the county wper fe;-'-;\ -'that an application would be mads for | the pardon of Tony Scrabble. Thfc || " the people deliberately and emphatie- f- ftllf frowned qpea, «mI oomperatively it --MM Irish DM was constantly go­ ing. note were hints thetshsor her Uwyw had found new points of eri- daao* Daring the year Aswent to the Ctaranra twelve timee wittr her plea for pardon, aad was met with refusal every "•*' And she persisted. She vent wit washing, went out in butchering mne, worked even in the fields for , and spent it in going to and the State capital. People rea- *Jth her and tried to convince there was no hope; that all this is worse than useless. She rarely made any reply, exoept to pro­ test that her husband was innocent, M •he would never rest until she had proved that he wai not guilty and nnfal she had secured his release. The old ladies pronounced her crazy, but their grandmotherly old eyes were tender as they said it, and they thought it was a shame that such a man as Tony Hard­ scrabble should have such a fine woman ifor a wife. And while they praised the 'wife they abused the husband. Mrs. Hardscrabble had been to the Governor's office eighteen times, carry­ ing each time some new atom of evi­ dence, some new suggestion from her lawyer, some frqph concession from the Judge or Prosecuting Attorney, an ad­ ditional name from the jury before whom the case was tried. She haunted the Governor's office and the offices of the prison authorities. She always had a personal interview, and arensea sym­ pathy even while her facts were consid­ ered unimportant. She went the nine­ teenth time with a sealed letter from the Prosecuting Attorney. She was received with the old smile at the Gov­ ernor's office, but waited patiently for her interview with the Governor him­ self, who had almost declined to see her. Her letter produced astonishing results. The Prosecutor withdrew the charge. The real thief had been ar­ rested, and had submitted statements in regard to the theft that showed that Tony Hardscrabble had not been con­ cerned. The affidavits and other docu­ ments were inclosed with the formal recommendation for pardon by the Judge and Prosecutor. They joined heartily in praise of Mrs. Hardscrabble, and hoped the Governor, in view of the persistent efforts of the woman, and in view of the extraordinary circumstances of the case, would waive all formalities, grant an immeJiate pardon, and allow the woman to take her husband home with her. The proof of the man's innocenoe was so plain, the statements were so clear, that the Governor hesitated not to join in the plan to surprise the woman who had so worked for her husban's release. She was asked to wait a moment in the audience-room, and, sad and almost dis­ heartened, she waited while glad news flew in the other room. When the Governor came to her, he held in his hand a parchment, and unbent to say: "Mrs. Hardscrabble, the documents presented to-day establish your hus­ band's innocence. I thought you might like to carry the pardon to him your­ self. Here it is, and I only hope he is worthy of his wife." The good woman's face trembled like her own baby's when about to cry. She dropped oa her knees, caught the Gov­ ernor's hand and covered it with kisses, as she had often, in her loneliness, kissed her baby. Then came an out­ pouring of thanks. "Your husband is innocent. I do my simple doty. No thanks are due me." "But I must thank some one." Then, clutching the pardon, she flew to the penitentiary. In less than an hour she was dragging her dazed and awe-struck husband through the Capitol corridors to the Governor's office, to present him to that officer. Tony was overwhelmed by conflicting and tremendous emotions. He was free. His wife had done it. He knew that. She had held the pardon under his eyes, and he had taken her in his arms, and had given her the first genuine, full-meaning kiss of his life. He had always liked her and had always been kind to her, as he understood kindness. But he had never known her. She pulled hia along as though he were a boy. She, who had never been a mile from home, knew the Governor. This, to Tony, with his prison experi­ ence before him, was a tremendous fact. What would happen ? The Governor took him by the hand/ "Now, my man, I am glad this is as it is. And I am glad that you have such a wife. Try the world again, and let me hear from you." That night Tony Hardscrabble*)s chil­ dren clambered about him and awoke in him a hundred new sensations. He had never seen such a pretty baby, such sweet little girls, such well-formed healthy boys. And they were all his. He would try the world again, and he laughed as he thought how he would astonish the people. The shop was open the next morning, and Tony was at work. How his veins swelled over the motion of a free man! The story had been told and retold, and Tony was the hero of the hour. Everylxxly had something to say about his wife. She was clearly (judging from the evidence offered, which Tony accepted without question) the best woman in the neighborhood, and Tony was very proud of her. For a few weeks affairs moved, in^he old way at Tony's. Then, one Sab­ bath. there was a departure. Tony and his wife and children went to church. This was their first appearance, and Tony was complimented. He declared they needn't make any fuss over him. He didn't care anything for church, but his wife did. She had remained at home a good many years to please him, and now he was attending church to please her. He was a hard case him­ self, but he wanted his children to be like their mother, and he guessed they would be anyhow. But he was going help her now. And then Tony would drop his voice: "Just think of it! She made nineteen trips to get me out of that scrape, and spent $(J5, all of which money she scraped together herself. By jinks, I get to thinking about it sometimes when I am at work, and I pound a horseshoe all to flinders before I know what I am doing. She's a wonderful woman, sir, and she's my wife. She can run the boat to suit herself now, sir." Tony meant what he said. His wife's individuality was the controlling one at the corners. In time there was carpet on the floods, and then, wonder of wonders to Tony! a common but pretty pattern of paper on the walls. Tony became Jack-of-all-trades to his wife. "Couldn't he make picture frames, brackets and other ornamental and use­ ful articles for the house?" Of course he eould, and he took gfteat delight in it He couldn't sit down and tell his wife, in words, how much he was sur- rised at her better self, nor how grate- Jbe Jell* MrJmr tevekbe 1vrta her, ouvsm a&lli *w*w»rd in apringiag be#, tm & but "the veiy aimplio- of his action made his acts the more it and touching to his wife. Tony beoame prood of his house. He would shoe a horse with the old skill and carefulness es to details, and wo<Rd talk aa muOh %h3e doing it, but now all the talk waa about las own home; and when the work was done he would maneuver to have his customer go in and look around, as he expressed it; would take him in to show him a new floor-barrel he had made, or a new rat- trap, when all the time he meant to show him the paper on the walls, the oarpet on the floors, and the genera] features of his cosy little home. He was always inviting people to dinner now, too. He made a childish of his wife and her accomplishments. This became a habit with him, and, un- consciously,people enoouraged him in it Tony was no longer a freebooter, and made no more raids on Sunday. He "hooked" no more roasting^ears or watermelons. He carried off no more rails, and was never accused of shoot­ ing other people's chickens or hogs. As the improvements at the house assumed decided shape, improvements were inaugurated at the shop. The rambling old building was straightened up and brightened up, the fences were made new, the garden flourished in proper season, ana an air of oomfort pervaded Tony's corners. Tony went to church regularly,, and always took the whole family; and at church he made much of little thing.* Hedevotedmore attention to keeping his children quiet than to the sermon. The children always had their pennies to put into the contribution-box, and the day the baby accomplished the feat of dropping a 5-cent coin in the box without grabbing for the other coins already in, was an hour of triumph for Tony. There was something pathetie about these little oddities that appealed to all the tenderness there was in peo­ ple's hearts. In time Tony would have been in­ dignant had any one asserted that he was not a member of the church. He wasn't clear in his mind as to when he "joined," but new customs had crept into his home, new thoughts into his mind, and new sentiments into his heart. People said there was a great change of heart, and as Tony was proud of the evidences of such a change, the people were probably right. The move­ ment, with Tony, was steadily pro­ gressive. He groped blindly at first, but in time the resolution of the man and his versatility of talent showed in good works. He was now spoken of as Mr. Hard­ scrabble, and he neighbored with all the people. He didn't get above his work, but he took his work up to a higher plane. Mothers never objected now to their sons lounging about Tony's shop. The boys liked to be with Tony, and even the men were glad when cir­ cumstances made it neceesary to go to the shop. The great change in Tony's life was at first attributed to the reformatory influence of prison discipline. But, in good time, people saw with clearer eyes. He commenced living a better life, not so much as a matter of con­ viction as to please his wife. Under this influence his convictions were reached and the man was aroused. He liked the better life and clung to it. The people now understand that the in strument used to work the great change in Tony Hardscrabble was his wife, and they speak tenderly of her, remember­ ing what she was and what she is.-- Chicago Inter Ocean, of 8, 4, or 5 per duria* winter eerfvec• hj*- the It'does notreweesat a lar̂ o loss of money.

In an interesting article OKI the vole or water-rat by Mr. Grant Allen, in the English Country Gentleman, the writer discusses the question why cer tain animals, such as snakes, vipers, water-rats, etc., are not found in Ire land. For the real solution of the problem, he says, we must go back to the time when England, Ireland and the continent were united by a broad belt of land across the beds of the En­ glish channel, St George's channel and the North sea. It is now an ascer­ tained fact that in the very latest geo- lpgkral period, known as the glacial 'epo<kM\the whole surface of the British islands) (except an insignificant strip of the south coast) was covered from end to end with a deep coating of glaciers, like that which now envelops all polar lands, and while this condition of things prevailed there were, of course, no animals of any sort in all Britain, or, at any rate, none but a few Arctic tvpes. After the ice melted, however, tne existing British fauns, such as it is, began to occupy the land, and the fact that it did so is one proof, though by no means the only proof, that a communi cation with the continent then existed across the bed of the North sea. Now, the animals only pushed their way very slowly into the newly eleared region as the ice melted away, mid the consequence is that only some forty kinds of mam mals out of the whole European fauna had penetrated as far as England be­ fore the gradual submergence of the lowland belt separated it from the con­ tinent by forming the inclosing arms of the sea. -- But Ireland lies even further west than England, and there is reason to believe that St. George's channel had all been flooded sometime before the waves of the Atlantic broke down the last link between Dover and Calais. Accordingly, Ireland never got her fair share of land animals at all, for though the wolf and fox and the Irish hare and many other quickly-migrating creatures had time to cross the intervening "belt before the submergence, several smaller or slower creatures, including the vipers, did not get over ground fast enough, and were thus shut out forever from the Isle of Saints. Among them were the whole race of voles, and that is the reason why Ireland to this day has no water-rats.--Scientific Amer<? icon. ' . How Maggfe Mitchell was Cored.

I was billed to open in a large city, and I was still on crutches. Every means that medical skill could suggest, in­ cluding electricity, was brought to bear in my case, but I was benefited little. The night arrived, the house was crowded, the galleries were noisy, and I was at a side wing on crutches. When the time for my entrance ar­ rived as Fanchon, with a supreme ef­ fort I threw the crutches aside and sprang through the window with the chicken in my arms, and went on with my part as naturally as ever.

The suffer- ings these poor creatures endured before death relieved them must have been frighful. They were crazy with pain. As long as they had sufficient strength to stan4 they attacked every man who ventured near them. I have seen cows so weak that they staggered as they walked, give birth to calves in the most sheltered spots they could in their weak condition find. After the exhaustion of labor they arose and lovingly licked their offspring dry. This act performed they braced them- selveaana coaxed the calf to nurse. Then, lying down, reaction occurred. The first flush of maternity had passed, and they were unable to again rise. The starving calves bleated pitifully around their dying mothers. In answer to the calls of their young, the repeatedly endeavored to arise. They were so weak that when they were partially up they pitched forward on their heads. They struggled and struggled until their chins and fore- knees were skinned. They died trying to perform their duty. The brutes who live in log cabins that stand by the banks of creeks that flow through the plains did not perform theirs. They regret the loss of money that represent­ ed the value of the cow. That was all. Is it a matter of surprise that cow­ boys are cruel and brutal ? It is but a step from cruelty to dumb animals to murderous brutality toward unreeist- ing, because surprised, men. I think I hear it exclaimed that gen­ tlemen who are noted for their human­ ity engage in breeding , oattle on the plains. Do they? A man ; who delib­ erately abuses cattle; who buys a brand with avowed intention of allowing a portion to starve, because it is cheaper to lose some than to feed all; who for the sake of a pecuniary gain premed­ itates a murderous act of cruelty to­ ward unresisting animals, may have the manner and speech of a gentleman, but a humane gentleman he is not--Frank Wilkison. 1 DR.
