Gee, whillikint,!" exclaimed all the children at once. Brown scratched his head and look ed at me helplessly, hut I failed to indorse his story aud left with the re mark "Whosoever starts out to lie must have a good memory to make a sue I cess." ? I never saw my old friend for two ? i or three days after he closed his hunt iog story, but he is all right now. It is bog killing time at our house, and from where ? write I can see my old friend squatting out by tho fire broil ing malts for himself and thc children. Ho han a pone of cold corn bread in his hand aud will make his breakfast right there of? of the melts aad would not exchange it for a breakfast at tho Kimball. We are both too old to take an active part in hog killing, but wc like to linger arouud the place where it is going on, and you will al ways find Brown with a little bag of salt and a supply of corn bread. He is sprinkling a broiling melt now with salt and I think I will be excused for hurrying out to where he is. I thought I had closed this letter, but thc impudence of Brown when I went out to where he was pro vokes me to reopen ?t. I never got any melt-that is the most of my grievance-but on top of that, when I arrived oat at the fire what should my old friend be aoing but tellies of a great coon hunt he once had down on Flint river. I soot? discovered that Dick Holland was with bim this time, too, and being that the children seem ed so \ ell pleased between the mella and the story, I let Brown spread him self with somewhat of admiration for his supreme impudence in offering to relate another hunting expedition so soon after his other night's experience. I don't know what he had told before, but I caught his tale just as I ap proached as without a break he pro ceeded: "By this time we were at the edge of Flint river bottoms, and Dick being a little in front of mc, yelled out that the dogs had treed. We were soon at the place, and sure enough, they had treed, and we fully expected tc sec a first-class coon fight in a very short space of time. Our game seemed to have gone np a tree whieh had fallen from the bluff and caught in the top of a big bottom white oak. By the time we were there one of the hounds had already started out on the tree, and quicker than I could tell it, there was a small scramble in the tree top and thc hound went ?umbering to thc ground in the bottom below us. I j told Dick that was no coon-I thought ? ic might Vie a bear-but while we were ! discussing this point another dog had I got up a'oiong the branches and met the same fate of the first one, and it seemed to me that every bone in the dog's boc y would bc broken from the way he hit the ground. Before we had time to consider what was best for us to do a bull log that Dick had brought along WAS on his way out thc bending tree and wc lot him go. Quicker than I could tell you, there was a little commotion io thc tree top and lumbering to thc ground went the bulldog and our game. It wasn't no c?on." "What waa it?" asked all the chil dren. "It wasn't a thing," said Brown, "but Bob Puckett's old butting billy goat." "Gee-whillikicsl" exclaimed all the children in chorus, while Brown gulped down thc last piece of melt and went sauntering toward the horse lot.

Ten yearn ugo such a question would have been regarded as a joke. Io those day? beauty aud a lot of it was the motto But times have changed, and, strange and irrational aa it may scum, good looks are not only at a discount iu the modern bus iness world, but positive ugliness is enjoying a boom. Nowadays the "fatal gift of beauty" is particularly fatal to a job. "Yes, sir, there is a growing ptejudice against employing very haudtome wo men,*' said a big retailer, "lt's uo joke, ano (herc's uo seutimeut about it. It is just a cold-drawn matter of busiuess. I don't care how compe tent a strikingly handsome woman may bc, or how discreet and quiet and industrious she is-she is bound to demoralize the force. She makes tho women jealous and the men absent minded, aud it tella on their work. Of course, she ean't h<dp it, but that's no affair of mine. "I've made a study of the subject," ho continued, "and I know what I'm talking about. A real beauty in a store will reduce the working capacity of its employees about twenty per t cent. If she happens to be of a very uuusual type-a blonde, for iustance, with dark eyes-the reduction will be fully tweuty-five per cent. Suppose the pay roll IB $760 a week-you'd have to make an entry every Saturday like this: 'To depreciation on ac count of blonde, dark eyes, $187 50.' That is enough to break a Vander bilt. "I'm talking from experience. We had a young lady clerk here once who had everything in the world to recom mend her except homeliness. She was beautiful, poor child, and what made it worse, she had that hopeless, ine radicable kind of beauty that doesn't outgrow, like warts and freckles, and is alv?ays the same no matter what happens. I believe that girl could have fallen into a hogshead of black molasses and come out still radiantly lovely. Well, she went to work, and I never had a better or more faithful employee, but the deadly demoraliza tion began the moment she stepped behind the counter. Everybody felt it. The bookkeeper was a surly Scotchman, and about as emotional as a fried oyster. In less than a week he was raising a mustache, and mak about forty errors a day ou his ledger. The correspondence clerk started half his letters "Dear Annie," instead of "Dear Sir;" and thc cashier was short every night through trying to make change with one eye on the lady. And that wasn't all. The floorwalker and head salesman became rivals-in their minds, because she never as much as looked at either one of them-and had it out while the store was fall of cus tomers. They spattered gore all over the ribbon department and finally roll ed through an open hatchway and were both laid up for a month. And now, by George, they are threaten ing me with a damage suit. I am only mentioning a few of the worst cases. "I thought thc head porter would escape because he was such ? disa greeable old rascal, and besides he had a family as big as a kindergarten -but he didn't. He primped himself up until he looked like a shaved ape, and when he realized that ho wasn't in the running he got even by beating his wife. She had him arrested and meanwhile the elevator man nearly murdered several of our best patrons by stopping the elevator between floors to feast his eyes on the charm er. By that time I thought the thing had gone far enough, and I let the girl go. I advised her to get a job in the telephone exchange, where folks couldn't see her." But I thought handsome clerk? were considered valuable for drawing cus tomers?" said the reporter. "That used to'be the theory, but it's exploded. Years ago a big con fectionary shop became famous all over the country for its beautiful salesladies. The result of the experi ment was this: The place lost all the women customers, and the trade of the men proved worthless. A young chappie would drop in, buy a stick of gum for a cent, and talk three hours on a stretch. At' last the proprietor discharged the . whole force and en gaged a lot of the homliest women cross-eyed preferred. After that, he made a fortune. And so it goes. I could cite you a hundred cases, but you can say confidently that pretty women-very pretty women, I mean are at a great disadvantage in busi ness. It's next to impossible for one togctajob. The homely girls have tho call." 31 ornum Taper In Chattanooga. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., December 4. -The Southern Star, thc first Mor mon paper to bc published in tho South, made its appearance in this city to day. It i.* a weekly, is edited by Elder I). P. Felt and represent* thirteen conferences in ten Southern States. It is to be circulated in north Georgia, north Alabama and in North and South Carolina especially. Tho Story of Two (?vnerons Highway* men. Tho-e who arc conversant with thc ways of tho Southern people arc aware that at thc close of the war it was a fr? quent occurrence for ''ol' massa" ti leave a little pha of ground to his slaves who had served him faith fully, or in some other way pro vide for thfir future. This was the case with Aunt Jennie Harris, who was left, by the will of her old master, quite a comfortable home in Missouri between Harrieonvillo and Pleasant Hill. But with thc usual negro prodigality, which could never realize that an end might come to their fortune, Aunt dennie placed a mortgage on her home for $1,400. Time passed and the very day when the mortgage fell due came around and there was no providion for paying it off. Notice had been received that tho Sheriff would call that day at '1 o'clock and if the money was not forthcoming the mortgage would be foreclosed and thc piece of ground taken away from her. So that morn ing she sent her two sons into town to sec if they could.raise the amount by a second mortgage. This was iu the fall of *78. While they were absent two men rode up and asked for a drink. Thc old auntie waited upon them and while doing so told ber trials and tribula tions, not pausing until they were in possession of every fact in thc ?ase. The two men appeared interested in her story and alighting from their horses asked if she could give them some dinner. With the hospitality born in the colored race of the old regime she hastened to kill and fry a chieken, bake some sweet potatoes and mix up a corn pone. "What's yo' bus'ness?" inquired the old colored woman, with easy fa miliarity. "Uh, we are cattle buyers. Kiding around the country buying up cattle." "Wha* yo' bo'n ?" was the next question. "In Scott County, Kentucky." "Ko' de Lawd. Dat wha' I com' frum," and auntie redoubled her energy in getting up a delectable din ner during which she explained again and again, with many a moan, that the sheriff was to be there at 3 o'clock that afternoon to foreclose thc mort gage if she did not have thc money to "lift" it, and her doubts of her boys ability to raise the money in town. It was an excellent dinner, just such an one as none but a Southern house servant can get up, and when it was eaten one of the men asked : "How much is the dinner worth?" "Vo' de Lawd," auntie replied, "yo' don't suppose one Kaintuckian want to charge another for a dinner ?" "Well. I'll tell you how muoh we consider it worth. Just $700apiece." And counting out thc money they eaoh handed her $700. Then followed one of those scenes never witnessed probably except where an old slave is the chief actor. The old woman never doubted the.sincerity of the men. She fell on her knees and prayed, shouted "hallelujah" and called down all manner of blessings on them. "Is yo* angel?" she asked. "No," one of them replied. "We are flesh and blood. You say thc Sheriff is to be here at 3 o'clock ?" "Yas, massa." "And will come down that road there ?" "Yas, massa." '"Well, you make him sign your papers all right and give you a receipt before you count out to him the mon ey." Thc old negress promised faithfully that she would and the two men rode away. At 3 o'clock the Sheriff called aud when he learned that the money was ready for him released the mortgage, took the money and started home. Half a mile from thc cabin as he was passing through a strip of woods, two men-the cattle buyers-stepped out and relieved him of the $1,400.-St. Louis Republic. Mr. H. A.

The latest product of American genius in the gioceiy line is artificial eggs, says Th? Grocery World. Tho new idea is ma uidde iu imitation of thc egg itself, hui is a powder made from skim milk. For cooking uses it is ?aid to be identical with eggs. The new powder is dunned by the back? rs to do just us well iu cooking as fresh eggs and much belter (han thc stale. The new powder does notdcte riotate, and its ell. ci iu cooking is the same as that of a fresh egg, with this difference-that only two-thirds of the usual niuouiit of shortening is re quired. lt is estimated that a pound of the powder is equivalent lo six und u h,tlf j dozen eggs.
