intimated his own inward conviction
that it would have been just as well if
Miss Rachel Snapp had known the disagreeable
fact before she consented to
beeome the second Mrs. Jtilman.
"There ain't 110 telliu' the trials I've
had with him," -went on Mrs. Miiman,
shaking her cap borders dolefully.
"I wouldn't undertake it then," said
Simeon, dryly. "Do you suppose he
will last through the night?"
"Oh, he can't, uo way in the world.
I've sent for Bethiah Jones to come tomorrow
and clean and whitewash the
room, and as for that old rack o' furnitoor,
the three chairs and the pine
desk, and the bureau, I mean to have
'era split up for kindlin' wood before
the deacon comes hack. He'll he just
foolish enough to want to kepp 'em,
and I won't have no such Noah's ark
trash about my house."
"That's most a pity, ain't it?" said
Simeon, who was outraged to a pretty
littlo apple-cheeked village girl, and
viewed the far-off possibility of "going
to housekeeping" as Moses might have
viewed the Promised Land.
"They're awful rickety old things,"
said his stepmother.
"But they're furnttoor. all the same,"
pleaded Simeon, "'and somehow it
seems to me as if I'd like to keep a little
something to remember old Percy
Milman by, even ii he ain't no nearer
relation than my second cousin. He
used to be real good to me when I was
a little tow-headed boy. Come, stepmother.
1'il give ye a dollar for the lot
of 'cm."
"Well," said Mrs. Milman, reflectively,
"it's worth that to git the plaguy
things carted off the premises. You
m.?y have 'em. Simeon."
"I don't suppose they're worth
much," said Simeon, "but it seems-a
pity to split 'em up. And now I'll go in
and see the old man."
Old Percy Milman, lying on the bed
from which he was destined never to
arise again, had listened to the whole
conversation, plainly audible through
the board partition, merely papered
over, that separated his apartment
from the family sitting room, for, dying
man though he was, he yet retained
every faculty.
<Tln^ in ctf>t v'ul o' me." he
thought, mournfully, -while a pan?
went through the heart -whose pulsings
wore well nigh at an end. "Well,
'tain't so very strange, neither, as 1
knows on, hut Rachel Miltnaa always
was a sour, cold-hearted woman. Simeon
shall have the furniture?I'll give
it to him myself afore the end comes."
And when Simeon came in on tiptoe
the old man looked briskly up.
' "You needn't stop so gingerly, hoy; I
ain't asieep. Snuff the candle, and set
down aside of me; I want to say a
word or two to ye. And tell Rachel to
come in. too."
"Oil, dear'." said Mrs. Deacon Milnan,
when the old man's- request was
made known to lier. "I'll bet be wants
a bowl o' berb tea made or a Jot o'
fresh gruel boiled. I've been on my
feet al! day, but sick folks never have
any consideration."
"Raeliel," said the old man abruptly,
"I've been thinkin' about that 'ere old
furniture o' mine." Mrs. Milnian cast
a consciously guilty look across the
patchwork quilt toward her stepson.
"It's old-fashioned, but it's good, and
I've made up my mind to give it to Simeon."
"I'm sure 1 thank you lclndly. Cousin
Percy," said Simeon, awkwardly, while
Airs. Miiman ioouea comuseu.
"There's some old tilings in tlie bureau
drawers, and the cushions for the
?beers?they're all Simeon's. too,"
added Percy Miiman. "Mind, Rachel,
all."
"I'm sure, lie's welcome," said Mrs.
I Miiman, tossing he!1 head. "I don't
want none o' the old trumpery."
"But you shall have the dollar just
the same," said Simeun, in a whisper
to his stepmother.
"For Sim was always good to me,"
i added Percy MUiuan, dreamily, "an' I
ain't one to l'orget. if I bo old. No, 1
[ ain'.t one to forget."'
And the old man fell asleep, never to
wake again in the world, whose wilderness
he had trod so laag and so sadly.
Simeon carted away the untique furniture
the day ai'ier the funeral, and
i Mr* Afilmnti nut after liiin with the I
i old moreen cushions which had bden
1 forgotten.
I "Here, Simeon!" she fried, in her

I "All right," said Simeon. with a comi!

1 seem very spruce, but I dare say Rosa
I will be c.ble to make soruethin' out of j
I 'em."
Rosa Alleu looked dubiously at the

inspiration.
"Do anything with them:" she exI
claimxl, cheerily. "Why, of course we
j can!"
| "Bet the covers are all moth-eaten,

wait until Simeon's hard earned savins*
had accumulated into the sum of
$500. the amount to be paid down on

other three, "hope told a flattering i

"We are young and wo can afford to j
wait," said Rosa, cheerfully, when Si
ineon grew desperate and talked of
gold hunting in the Klondykc.
' Yes, but I don't want to wait until '
I'm an old man," said Simeon, dolefully.
The next day Roan, with a pocket j
handkerchief tied over licr sunshiny
curls and her pretty figure enveloped
in a prodigious bib apron, commenced
on the moreen cushions with a pair of
big shears; for Rosa took as much delight
in these email preparations for a
home of her own as any maiden in all
the land, and her fancy already pictured
forth a neat chintz draped lounge
with a pillow to mateli, made out of old
Cousin Percy Milman's quaint gift. Simeon
had already rrevarnished the old
chairs and desk and bureau and set
them in the barn chamber to dry, and
Rosa's eldest brother had promised
them an eight-day clock, so that the
decorations for a modest little sitting
room seemed not so very far off.
Thinking of all these things Rosa
clipped vigorously away at all the pillow
seams.
"My goodness!" she exclaimed to her- .
self with a slight elevation of the i
brown brows, "what horrid stitches,
just like n shark's teeth, and what '
coarse thread. I wonder wno couiu
possibly have sewed it?"
And when all the seams were ripped
apart Rosa plunged her hands into the
cushions, and out flew the feathers like
a flock of imprisoned birds.
"Hello!" cried "Simeon's deep-lunged
voice behind her shoulder, "that looks
like work." 1
But Rosa only toughed, scr.tterinj: a 1
handful of downy dust over her lover's
jet black hair. 1
"See, Simeon, that's the way you'll 1
look when you get to be as old as Cousin
Ferey when he died. Just wait a ;

With the feathers apiece of folded
brown paper had drifted out upon the ;
floor?a small envelope, pasted down '
on the edge. i
"Camphor to keep cut the moths," j
suggested Simeon.
But Rosa stooped to pick it up, and
tore it open.
"Simeon, it's money!" she cried
breathlessly.
And money it was?five ding> twenty
dollar bills, neatly folded inside a slip
of blue writing paper.
"Simeon," cried Rosa, "don't you remember
what you told me Cousin
Tercy said? All the things were to be
yours!'' ,
"Yes ? but ? Rosa ? I don't understand."
"He meant this money?the savings
of his lifetime."
"By Jerusalem!" cried Simeon, falling
back upon his favorite adjuration,
"so he did."
And he pounced on the other two
cushions, tearing them so violently
apart that poor little Rosa sneezed a^
if she had taken a whole boxful of
snuff at once.
"Simeon, are you crazy?" she exclaimed,
with widely opened brown
eyes.
"No, but?T thought so. Rocy. Hurrah!"
and Simeon tossed his fur cap
into the air. "There's the same amount
of money in each of them. Three hundred
dollars 1 Rosy, we can get the
farm now. We can go to Iiousekeiip

Rosa was counting over the rusty old
bills with fingers wbicli trembled so
she could hardly hold them.
"Oh. Simoon!" she said, "it don't
hardly seem possible!"
' But it is possible," exulted Simeon.
"Won't my stepmother be mad, though, 1
when she comes to hear of it?"
Mrs. Deacon Milman was indignant.
She thought Simeon ought to have divided
with h?r, but he chanced to be of ;
a different opinion.
"It's just like Percy," said the deacon's
wife. "And arter all I did for
him, too. A moan, seltish old miser."
"It's just like Percy," said Simeon to |
Rosa. "He was eccentric, but his
heart was in the right place all the 1
time." j1

A Fashion Prophecy.
They say (and in this instance the
words come from the lips of some one
who ought to know), that coffee-brown
will be a tremendous hit as a winter
gown color next season, and that, although
it is being saved up for use in
November and later on, coffee color
"will be the winter fashion. Brown is
always acceptable as a color for cold
weather gowns. It is rare to see a person
to whom it is unbecoming. Seal
brown, as a rule, is more tender to the
complexion than some of the lighter
tints, gravel, golden brown and olive. {
But most of us will remember the prophetic
words, and will be on the lookout
for coffee colored woolen and velveteens
when the imported fabrics are
finally unfolded for the "openings" of
the fashionable merccrs.?Philadelphia

to Guatemala, ex-member of Congress from
Kentucky, in a letter from Washington,
D. C., writes:
"I am fully satisfied that your Peruna
is an efficacious remedy for catarrh, as I
and many of my frienas have been benefited
by its use."?W. G. Hunter, M. 1).
Member of Congress From Yirgiuia
Writes.
Hon. G. R. Brown, Martinrille, Va., exmember
of Congress Fifth District, 50th.
Congress, writes:
"I cheerfully give my endorsement to
vour Peruna aa a cure for catarrh. Its
beneficial results have been so fully demonstrated
that its use is essential to all
persons suffering from that disease."?
Hon. G. R. Brown.
The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonialu to
proprietary medicines for publication. This
remains true to-day of most proprietary
medicines. But Peruna has become so
justly famous, its merits are known to so
many people of high and low stations,
that no one hesitates to see his name in
print recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.

A Dcaili-Felk'uiiis Plant.
That certain insects, birds, mammals
and reptiles habitually pretend
to be dead when danger threatens them
Is a well known fact; but it is generally
believed that this stratagem is resorted
to only by animals. In South Amoriea.
however, there is a plant?a species of
mimosa?wtieh resorts to death feigning,
evidently for thiy purpose of preventing
grass eating^ animals from
eating it. In its natural state this
plant has a vivid green hue; but direct-1
ir it iii touched by a human linger or
by any living animal it collapses into a
tan:,'li? of apparently dead and withered
stems. --London Globe.
