With a "fco long, Jim!" Ephraim chriped to his horses, and slowly drove down the street and out on the broad country road. Neither of the speakers were aware that their brief colloquy had had an interesting listener, but inside the hot little shop advertised as the Com- inanche City Ice Cream Parlors," comfortably eating jpale-tooking cieam, sat a woman, who, after the wagon had been started up the street, sat gazing after it, her face alive with a downing idea. A woman of large bone and spare flesh she was, with a sun-tanned face, out of which Hashed a pair of black eves--not a i>retty woman at all, but yet with a wholesome, capable air about her. Her gingham sunbonnet lay oo a chair beside her, and she had looos- ened the white handkerchief about the neck of her dark calico dress, as she sat resting and regaling herself. After the wagon had finally passed out of sight she nodded to herself and soliloquized: 4'Yes, that's yeur way. Eph Bigts. Yeu allays want tew be sure uv a thing afore yeu gointei it. Yeu wuz Bure uv Cilly Parson's eomp'ny thet night fifteen years ago at the speilin' school back in Ohio, an' when yeu wuz sure uv it, yeu never stooped at givin' me the th' mitten. Ye're th' on'y man 'at ever treated me so, an' I atn't likely tew fergit it, neither." She dipped the pewter spoon again into the dish, and finished her ice cream before she resumed her solilo­ quy: "Ye've spied all th* punkins Jn the country, but yeu overlooked thet little patch down on th' second Tiver bottom on Widder Morrison's farm, jest ez ye've overlooked th' col' fact 'at thet same Widder Morrison's no- buddy els'n th' Mellissy Jones 'at yeu snubbed onct Yeu've never seen my face yit, but ef nothin' happens nex' week when th' fair opens, I'll show you some uv my punkins, an* I'll pay off what I've been owin' yeu so long." And Widow Morrison, the sole pa­ tron at that hour of the «'Parlors," having paid her bill from a well- stocked purse, tied her bonnet, i loosened her own strong team from its post on the shad> side of the street, mounted the seat of her own farm wagou and started home The day before the opening of the •'ITirst Annual Fair of Comanche County" was 4 busy one for the ex­ hibitors and the superintendents of the divis on& Pri-e chickens, hair work, Berk­ shire hogs, potatoes, patch-work quilia, sweet corn, card-board air-cas­ tles, and other exhibits crowded in fast and were laborously entered. Early in the day Ephraim Biggs drove up and stopped at the door of £xposition Hall, carefully unloaded hisgoldin treasures--five great pump­ kins. As he ostentatiously lugged them into the hail, a murmur of praise spread about the room. They were large pumpkins and no mistake,quite dwarfing the other specimens that had been entered. "Pretij sizable, eb?" questioned Mr. Biggs, with a carelessly triumph­ ant air. "I reckon 'at I'll carry home one lot uv yeur blue ribbons. Ef 1 don't I'll eat my ol' hat!" he concluded, in a burst of confidence. From all directions and distances wagons came down the winding prairie roads the next day--fathers, mothers, children, and hired help bringing great baskets of luncheon with the intention of spending a whole day. Ephraim went early. A number of acquaintances were making exceed­ ingly merry on the steps that lea to the agricu tural display. As be come up, one of them called out, banteringly: t;Well, Eph, yeu better git ready tew eat yeur ol' hat, fer ye'll hev it tew do!" This, with the laud guffaw that followed it, gave Ephraim to under­ stand what had happened, and, ap­ palled, he rushed within doors. On the lowest of the bank of steps that had been built to bold the dis­ play, lay the smaller pumpkins; above them the five that he had en­ tered, and above them, each eclips­ ing in size the low lav fiv® mom. .7* ^ • £ ffiooft *eaaed to take on a leer of satv rawftc trinmph. He stood in aston­ ishment, bis hat poshed back, his knees bent forward. At last he ejaculated; ^ "Wal, I vo*t Who in th* nation brung 'em?" » "1 did:" snapped a voice beside him. And he turned to see the speaker, who, bonnet in hand, stood looking steadily at him. For a moment he stared in slow recognition, tbea drawled: "Why, Melissv Jones!** "No, sir--Mrs: Morrison, "Mr. Biggs," with an elaborately stiff bow. "1 thought it wuz a pritty good way tew come up 'ith yeu fer the orn'ry way yeu treated me th' las' time 1 ever saw veu, an' I thought you might like tew know 'at some one else in C'manche County can raise punkins* 'cept a Biggs." And with head held high, she passed on. Each day of the fair, Ephraim ling­ ered about the pumpkins, and each day, meeting the Widow Morrison, strove to draw her into conversation; but, her acerbity did not diminish. On the last afternoon he met- her there, looking at the string, of cot­ tony hltte ribbon attached to her largest pumpkin. "I'm glad, Melissy," he began, awkwardly, "at yeu got it. I did treat you mean thet time, but I'm willin' tew remidy it now. I've-- ahem!--got a good faim, but it's pritty weil run down, an' I need ! some one to help me. an'---an*--ahem' j ef yeu're willin'--ahera'--I think 1 yeu'd be jest th' one, an' then I c'd j j look after your farm along 'ith my j own, an' I'd be repairing th' damage I done yeu onct." j She looked at him for one uncom* for table minute, a sparkle in ber black eyes, a sardonic smile on her lips. "So, Eph Biggs, you want tew re- ] pair the damage by makin' me your hired girl, 'ithout wages, an' takin' 1 my farm to run down along Mth your own! My farm's not run down, an' I don't intend it shall be, an' I keep my own hired girl, an' pay her out o' my money, an' nex' week my young­ est sister, who's a widder like my­ self, is cotmn' West 'ith her two blessed children, and we're goin' tew be the hanpiest fam'ly in creation. An' ef I marry, which ain't prob'ble, ; I'll not marry a man 'at let his mother die in the poor-house!" She knotted ber bonnet strings decidedly, j as she concluded; -'This air a satis- < fyin' moment fer me, Eph Biggs. I' brung them punkins here merely tew kind uv pay int'rest on th' olegrudge, an' find 'at I kin pay th' whole thing an' return th' mitten you gave me fifteen vears ago!" She left him then, for there was really nothing more to be said.--Ex­ change. r..*i SAFETY ON RAILROADS. NEW YORK TENEMENTgf • A Crowded District the Like of Which la Not on Earth. --New York is breeding a mob in her tenements; a mob that, so far docile, will some time rise, unless its wrongs are righted, an.d right them for it­ self. Three-fourths of New York's population live in tenements, and one-half in tenements of such un­ happy character that their baleful influence cannot help but be marked upon their crowds, doimicilesso over­ crowded thaton their doorways might be tacked this paraphrase, "All ye who enter here leave decency be­ hind"; where only the rent and the death rate are hi?h, and the stand­ ards of virtue, cleanliness, and com­ fort are so low as to scarcely merit consideration; where self-respect-- the salvation of the human creature --may be sa.d to reach the vanisiting j point. i There are in New York 34,967 front' tenements and 2,391 rear tenements, ' with population given by the Board Ummmm «M|ht fry tOM Kny ffctalltlw «C th* T««r '93. That 1893 was a dark year in the history of railroading in the United States is beyond dispute. No year has seen so many fatal accidents. Whatever the causes of this state of affairs may have l»een the railroad men have awakened to the fact that something in the way of safeguards must be found. Representatives from 181 roads, operating 131,000 miles of track, recently met in New York for the purpose of discussing the outlook and devising means to prevent acci­ dents in tbg future. Mauy speeches were made and several plans dis­ cussed at this meeting and it may afford the traveling public some sat is­ faction to know that its interests re­ ceived as fair consideration as did those of the railroads. Among the new devices proposed for the safe$ of safety is one which will not allow a train to approach too near an open drawbridge whether the engineer is willing or not. It consists of a combination of levers. "When the bridge is open "trips" are raised inside the rails and these en­ gage the air-brake levers Of an ap­ proaching train, bringing it to a standstill. The mechanism is in­ genious. The opening of the bridge disengages a sliding bar operated by a spring. This sliding bar is con­ nected with a crank, which in turn o erates aline of gas pipe which ex­ tends for a suitable distance along the track. Its end farthest irom the bridge works a rocking shaft, which raises the "trips." Another safety device embracing the same idea is intended to stop trains approaching a bridge which has been burned or has fallen for any reason. Extending along the bridge parallel with the rails is a line of rods connected with fusible jointa The land ends of this system of rods operate levers which throw up "trips," the latter engaging the air brake levers of locomot.ves. If the bridge is burned the joints connect­ ing the rods are melted; a powerful spring throws up the "trips" as soon as the tension of the line of rods is released. If the bridge fails the joints are snapped and the same iesult fol­ lows. If the bridge sinks slowly and not su.liciently to break the joint9 the extra tension of the rod-line, which must follow the sinking bridge, operates the "trips" Thus this simple and ingenious device gives warning of three distinct dangers. And the engine and train would. be stopped just the same if there was no engineer aboard. This is a very important consideration, for the best of signals may fa 1 of their purpose if | the engineer for any reason disregards ' them. That is the chief reason why the block signal system is not an ab­ solute safeguard. Electricity has been called upon to play an Important part in recent de­ vices. By its means signals of every nature can be operated, crews of trains can talk with those of other trains, an engineer can be kept informed of the distance that separates him from a train he is following, of a misplaced switch, of obstructions and other dangers and in fact every element of danger can be eliminated through its agency--if! There is an "if," and an important one At the meet­ ing above referred to it developed that many of the railroads through­ out the country, through a desire to Day big dividends to stockholders, have gradually fallen into the fault of employing operatives who were far from being competent and trust­ worthy. This is. the "if." If the railroad companies would emp'oy only such men in positions of responsibility who had been trained Miia.iimB.iiii) Hi III www U. S.

His employer had frequently asked aftar the brother's healt 1, and encour­ aged his gardener to confide his woes in him, believing that sympathy be­ get* gocd service; and recently John said, in response to due of the inqui­ ries: "He's sht'll out ov worruk, sorr.

Very Queer Are the sensations experienced by the nervous and dyspeptic. Unaccountable palpitation, buzzing in the ears, flushing of one side of the face, odd taste and tingling in the month, con­ stant restlessness, stinging in the gullet and sinking in the stomach, acute sensitiveness to slight sounds that magnifies them tenfold, low spirits--these are only a few of the charming experiences of the individual who suffers from combined nervousness and Indigestion--a team that usually travel together. Their gay and festive career is, however, bronght to a full stop by that greatest of stomachlos, Hos- tetter'a Stomach Bitters, whioh also over­ comes their allies--constipation and bilious­ ness. This popular remedy fortifies those who nse it against malaria, chroaio rheumatism and kidney complaint, restores nervous quiet­ ude and promotes appetite, vigor and sleep. New Treatment for lrcn.

Care in JDfphthertft* As diphtheria is so very serious a disease, whenever a child seems languid and miserable, fretful and depressed, without apparent cause, examine the throat carebully, writes El sabeth liobinson Scovil in a very valuable article oo •'Care in Infect­ ious Diseases" in the Ladies' Home Journal, if it is swollen and covered with patches of gray membrane look­ ing like slate-pencil dust; send for the doctor. It is always safest to have medical advice when the throat is affected. Until the doctor comes keep the child in bed. If the throat is pain­ ful procure a lump of lime, pour cold water upon it; when the effervesc­ ence subsides strain off the clear water and apply it to the throat with a brush or swab, If the child is old enought the throat can be gargled with the lime-water.

Milk, either hot or lold, should be given every two hours. # The cold milk may have the white 'of an egg shaken with each cupful. Strung beef-tea can be given and the doctor may order stimulant. The strength must be supported by nourishing liquid iood. No fault which some of the roads have fallen into through their desire to declare big dividends.
