A picture of rural pei and contentment. I heard a terrible commotion in I barnyard, and as I rounded the c mer of the cabin I saw Caroline cc ing from the cowshed with a I D)minicker under her arm, follom by Liz with a fat pullet hanging h( lownward on either side while i tad a firm grip on their legs, a [kcev was legging it across the co rard in pursuit of a big Muset luck.

"Pap. do you belieye that yarn?" Lr- I replied, "Well, my boy, 1 have ba- no reason to doubt it; a. preacher lut wo'Idn't lie for as small a thing as the prvfits on the pictures of an old goose." ou At this C.'roline broke in with the it remark that tihe' had never been at a ad poultry show, and abe c uld beat out no any chicken there with the old Dom on inicker, and she was going to take the kids and see the sights, and had sent for.Z-ke to come and act as ea, ae, cort and look after the outfit. )re "I have been trying to coax mam of not to go," says Ikey, "'cause her be biAt dress is not in style, and red ad stockings.are not in fashion down in as geikens, and we air not fitted out to of go into society nobow," a Th Aire daued in Caroline'e eye, k4 sebe took her offjring by Lhe lat. or la-, and marching him to the back Iproh interviewed him with the f OR clothes paddle, with the result that op, the youli hopeful has beern taking ey. his weal standing up to the present bad tUne. -11- Then she says: "It is fii1ed; We ith air going to Pickens, and the briudle ng heifer is going with us, 'cause she's pd for sale." ab- When a woman saya ab will she les wi". So tle next morvn j0# steers led were yoked to the wagon, and Caro. m line, Ikey, the old Dominicker and the pullets were loaded in, with your he U-iele Zeke seated on a'hox of grub Dr. to do the driving, while L z trudged m- on in front leading the brindle heifer. )g We gut along very well antil a few ed miles of Piekens, when Avery Looper ad cane by driving his b!u..-ribb n step. he per, and when opposite the gal and nd tie heifer pulled uip, and tipping -1his bat, said: "Miss, are yon goirig ivy1 far?" "Only to town," she replied. "Well, you had botter hitch the crit ,y, ter behind and take a seat in the en~ buggy," said the young man. The ~p" heifer was tied to the hind axle and r," Avery jumped into the buggy,and ul. picking up the ribbens started off at a rapid kait, hut the animal, did not of take kindly to the new order of things, ut, and as the horse startedl down the1 ed road the heifer turned tail and started e~ up the road. The buggy arted in elI the middle and the gal was h.ft in a mudhole, and Avery turned a flipfiap rid into the ditch by the roadsidee he When we got to town we unloaded lie ties poultry at the courthouse and the a ry folks went up to the a'how, while I a.. hitched the steers dlown, in the lot, r'y Carioline is somewhat sensitiv&, and has a way of. speakiin her mind '* prelty freely.. I thought I had better I >w go and look after theu:. As I entered re tho hall Ikey came rnnnmg toJ me,e im and sayb:- "Dad, do they wash the ie chickens before they bring them to of the shiow?" "Sometimes," I replied. 6 a "Well, come hero. Dr. 'Webb has 0 zd got a litble runt; here in a con.. and te calls it 8allv White. He bao vashod and starched the thing all ight enough, but forgot to iron it, nd the blamed feathers are sticking traight towards its head "That's just like I)r. Webb," broke n Uaroline. "ife may be all right to lose pills an i squills, but he ain't got derned bit of souse whou it comes o running a chicken laundry." I soon beard Caroline talking in an ieited manner down 'at the other ud of the hall, aind Mayor LiBton vas trying to pauify her. "It is a hamne," says Caroline; "it is can lalou',,and a burning shame. That here man Fintiney has got a pair of >ig yellow chicke,4- in tho show with yajnnas or.'' "Why, miadam." re narked the rmfiyor, "those are 13biff JIchins, arid they are feather legged. t is the nature of the brutes." Hub ' says Caroliteo; "then I sup >ose my apologies are due the chick IDs." I started for the drug store to find 11z, and when I got to the foot of be stairs saw her and Claude Hester kolding han is,. eating gubers out of poke, and watching the niggers try og to climb the greased pole. The bal said: "Dad, who is that nice ,oung man acting as master of cere nonies" "Why," I said, "he is the roung druggist and superintendent >f tho Baptist Sunday school." The zal laughed, and said: "It he super utendent of a Sunday school? Well, .0 has been casting goo-goo eyes and iriug to flirt with me. But I reckon there ia no sin it, as they ail do it tid he is awfully eweet. just the Aue." In the back room of the drug store lIaw B. Lewis reclining ini a chair. Dr. Hallum was fanning him and Dr. Webb stood with a finger on his pulse. while poor B. was mutttring, "Head and beak 1, comb I, book j wings 1" 'Seriqus case, is it, Do9" I remarked. "I cha tell yet, 2ske," repied thi clootor. "I have not fully diagnosed The case, but as there is no breaking ut, I am inclined to think that it is iot chicken pox, but just a plain old 38pe of chicken fever." As I stood there watching the foot races Caroline said she would go over and get a drink of soda water. You know, Jim, that Caroline i. not so 3ustomed to anything stronger than buttermilk, and soda was out of her moe. Well, Claud Thomason rushed ip to wait on her, and as I came in be was gulping It down as she would whisky sour. All at once ahe bout ver and clasping her hands across esr apron, she made for the door, ad said: "Caroline, what under the on is the matter?" "OuebI" she ried. "Oh, ouch! Zeke, he good to he kids. That smooth-faced scoon Irel has doped the drink and I have wallowed a gas well." When we got home Liz was work.' rig "I love you" in the corner of a scent swipe she bought at the bar ain counter at the Big Store, and when I asked her what she was going a do with it, she said she would send to Mr. Craig for a Obristwos, prete nt. But I replied: "Hamp Is a tarried man." "Naw, not him. I tean the tall one with the sunset air. lHe is my affinity," she an wered. Jim, I have thought well of the fly' down In Pickens, and they have eon very kind to me. But please ill them that when they hold another nocken show to keep it out of the ENTINEL and not advertise it on the reek, as it Is very harrowing to my nor feelings, and disturbs my peace 'mind.
