There was a shanty among the trees. and in response to my hail an old wom- an appeared in the doorway and cor- dially exclaimed: “ Howdy. stranger. hev a bite ! " I explained that I had lost my way and only desired to be directed to the - right road. After she had set me right she leaned “confidentially against my saddle and said : “Stranger, I wish thet ye. would do me a favor. Do ye see thet thar critter over thar ? " I did, although I had previously overlooked him. He was leaning against the trunk of a blue gum. with his hands meekly folded in his lap, and appeared to be gazing into vacancy. “Stranger, thar is my ole man, an we've been married for over 40 years, an up ter last month we enjoyed all the bliss of married lile. We've fit and font, and font and fit, and the outcome of them I'outs were always in doubt up ter the last minute. But I'll say right yere thet when the smoke of them yere battle cleared away the ole woman wuz always on top. I always reckoned ther I would go ter my grave in a peaceful state of mind, but it looks now as though I wuz goin ter be plum disapp'inted. an jest because thet low down. onery critter pretended to git religion an commenced pinyin the meek an lowly dodge. If I swut him with the broom handle, he sighs an rolls his eyes an says, ‘ New hit me with the axe helve, Liza Jane.’ The fact. is that he wuz a licked man before he pretended to git religion. an he knows it, an this yere religiou~ vracket is only a scheme of' his ter git out of takiu his medicine like a mnn. But what is a poor, lone woman goin tcr do? If I swat him in the eye, he says, ' Now smack me on the snoot, Liza Jane.’ Ye can’t hit a man when he's down, an this yere meek an lowly The demand for home-grown Nursery Stockf James Cooper, Lilontreal, Genera business is breakin me all up. “ Now. what I want yer to do, stran- ger, is ter lean over an smack me coed on hard right on my lips, an may- be thet will rouse thet thar critter up an he will rush up an swat ye on the snout, an then I will git mud no rush in, an then mebbe he will fergit all about this meek an lowly dodge an we will hev a beautiful I‘out." I declined as politely as I could and rode on, but as I reached a bend in the road I glanced back. p The old woman was emptying the contents of a washboiler over the old man. and out of the torrent came a meek voice: “Now turn the hose on me, Liza -Jaue.”-â€"â€"Ncw York World. Uncle Bill’s Hard Climb. “Yes, ole Bill Blazer was an uncle of mine."said one of the young men who were helping to keep up the run of stories around the big stove at the cor- ucr grocery. ' “ He was about the curi’cst critter I rover see. He was allus sorter mule headed. was Uncle Bill, so he lelt ho:ne alter he was ol' age an went as for west as the Iojins would let him. He was fightin them or bears pretty much all the time, an Uncle Bill allus kim out .on top because he was so Stubborn. " llc kim in hereto see us once, but ihe didn't find any people he knowed.
