It ain't no use in agoin'. ag'in ver pa, Jennie. He's had his own way round here continual for more than thirty years, an' you'll jest h?v to give im No use ial&ia' at hsa. It only makes, him iruB8,w Poor littie-Hra. plcott had been accustomed during the v/hole of her married life to "jest give in," and her only chance of peace was in vielding to her jselfkhly determined "husband and allowing him to carry his point without opposition.* Jennie was' differently constitut ed. She inherited her father's strong will, and ho had, much to his surprise, suddenly discovered an opposing force in his youngest child. She had been away from home for nearly three years, this pretty brown haired girl with the deter mined face and graceful carriage, and the father secretly admired and almost feared her. A wealthy and childless aunt in the city had besought Jennie to -hare her home, and Hiram Olcottfs pretty daughter, though clinging to the farm with all its dear memories of childhood and childhood's joys, chose wisely when she yielded to her aunt's request. It was better, far better for her, for even after her. departure there were plenty of children to keep the miserly old farmer in a perpetual crumble about money matters. It was May, and the country wore one glad smile, and Jennie hailed with delight the prospect of a visit to her home, assuming very willing ly the responsibility of housekeep ing while her two unmarried sisters attended the wedding of a cousin in a distant town. This morning she was cooking, and with her sleeves rolled above her elbows stood beside the "kitchen table. In one hand she held an earthen plate; while the clip, clip of a fork sounded noisily as she. whipped some egg? to a froth. Yer sisters hed to marry to suit him." wailed the nervous little wo man, "an' you'll have to too. Ef you don't, there be awful fusses; eo you'd jest better give in." That morning the father had spoken to Jennie of a young farm er, whom ho termed a '"'likely catch." She had expressed her opinion of him in so decided a way as to alarm Mr. Olcott for the safety of his much prized authority. lie was wont to speak of himself as a marvelous example of the pa triarch. "Make 'em mind," ha. would say. "Keep yer household beneath yer fe?t; govern 'em well, an' the/H git along." Jennie's boldness in opposing his judgment so stupefied him that his. anger had not yet had time to blaze forth, but Mrs. Olcott knew it would come, und so after her husband had left the kitchen she pleaded with the girl to "give in." Jennie had been very thoughtful during the little woman's appeal, but now she was resolved, and it was the Olcott in natura which speke. "I wouldn't marry Jordan Moggs though father should threaten to murder mo." The eggs were stiff now, and as she set the plate down on the table she turned from her mother and busied herself among the ingredi ents for cake baking which were be fore her. Jennie was blushing as she began softly, "There is some one in Poole I like very much, moth er, and he's coming out here too." "He needn't mind comin'," said Farmer Olcott grimly, as he quietly stepped into the kitchen. His face wore a cunning leer, and. his wind reddened cheeks were distorted by the sneering curves of his hard lined mouth. "I'm master in my own house, an' you'll not talk till such time as I'm done. You've been away an' kinder forgot how things is run here, but you might as well get broke in now, I tell you I wont have any city fellers a-follerin' you, an' if I ketch yer Aunt Kate mak in* matches for you. TU just fetch you home from bein' a fine lady down there an' set you workin'." Before Jennie could speak he had gone into the dining room, slam ming the door bebind him. Tears of mortification and rage stood in her brown eyes and hot words leaped to her lips, but as she glanced clown at the agonized faco of the little woman beside her the fierce mood changed. She bent to kiss the pain drawn lips, murmur ing: "Never mind, mother dear. I'll be patient for your sake." "That's a good girl, Jennie," re plied Mrs. Olcott, with a sigh of re lief. "Try on' git along peaceable like, an' jest give in for the sake of quiet. Yer pa's gettin' wuss an' WT18S." Jennie wrote a partial account of what had occurred to. her Aunt Kate, and this was the answer of that clever woman: My Dear Niece?Your father needs man aging-, and X will undertake to do It 1 have written to him to coma down Co the city and advise me about the aale of a Piece of property, and you need not be surprised at anything: that happens. Mrs. Kate Calding was tl,e only one in the world who ever did un derstand her brother Hiram, and she had planned a clever'little ruse, to be played on the unsuspecting farmer. Mr. Bryan, whom Jennie had confessed to her mother sho cared a great deal for, was well suited'to Uer. He hjul not yet declared his love, but it was noTTun^essedniy the shrewd little maiden. To Mrs. Calding, however, ho had opened his heart, and she bade him wait a little. She knew, how prejudiced her brother was against all arrange ment s not conducted by himself and rightly concluded that ho might put serious difficulty in the way of the young people. ?lter satisfying herself that tho name of Jennie's lover was quite lUknown to her brother sho re solved to introduce him as a young man who would be a good match for Jennie, if only the girl would be wise enough to think so, Allowing him to believe they had never met, she trusted to his unequaled ob stinacy to do the rest. "I've wanted so much to talk with you about Jennie/' said the lady as she and Hiram sat in her well ap pointed dining room the night of the arrival. "Yes, an' I'm willin*. She ought to be settled," Laid the old man de-1 cidedly. "It does not do, Hiram," began Mrs. Calding, watching the hard lined face intently, "to depend on a ! girl's choice, and"? "Well, I guess it don't," he inter rupted, with a sneer. <0There is a young man in town j who, I know, admires Jennie, and if he should meet her I know some- 1 thing ;uld come of it." Very quiet ly, yet with the utmost caution, she made this statement. The old man was interested. "Bich?" he inquired, rubbing his hands gently together, v <fYes," was the answer; then she went on: "Of course, it's so very uncertain, Hiram. You see, Jennie might re fuse to have a word to say to him, and"? "Now, Kate, look here," inter rupted the thoroughly excited old man as he drew his chair nearer hers and emphasized his words with decisive gestures, "ef I like that youTig man I'll jest take him on home with me, an' I'd like to see Jennie tell him to go jf I'm livin'." Mrs. Calding was delighted at her success thus far. The next day Mr. Br}ran was introduced and be came the o11 man's ideal of a .son in-law. On the farmer's return to his home Mr. Bryan accompanied him, having accepted the hearty invita tion of his new friend to "jest run out an' take a look around our part of the country." Jennie had been apprised of Mr. Bryants coming and of the little de ception in which she was. to play her part. She met him as if he were a stranger, while her father secretly rejoiced at the thought of subduing his proud young daugh ter. Mr. Olcott took an early oppor tunity to enlighten Jennie as to her duty toward his new friend, and with a twinkle in her eye she prom ised to do her best to please him in the matter. A week passed. Jennie and Mr. Bryan were very happy. The days were delightful ones to them, and the old farmer rubbed his hands at the success of bis scheme and gavo his consent to an early marriage with no hesitation. He ?ften speaks now .of his matchmaking. "There's Jennie/' he will say. "She'd hev picked up with some empty noddled city chap ef I hadn't jest took her in hand. ? brung Bryan out an' told her that she'd got to behave to him. It's the only way to do?jest make 'em mind, an' they'll git along." They would not deceive him for anything, the happy young couple, but when he boasts they think with loving gratitude of clever Aunt Kate. No Fitting Time. There are many poor correspond ents who would doubtless like to make the excuse given by a hoy who was spending his first y*ar at a boarding school. The first letter, anxiously awaited by his parents, was not received for more than a week, and then it was short and to the point. . "Dear people," wrote tho boy, "I don't believe I shall be able to send you many letters while I'm here. You see, when things are happening I haven't time, and when they aren't happening I haven't anything to , write. You'll understand how it is, won't yon, father? And, mother, you just ask father to explain to you how it Is. So now I will say goodby, with love to all. In haste, ledrge." . To Whip Cream Successfully. The cream must be sufficiently thick to hold the air and must be very cold and kept cold during the whipping. A small churn made from tin will whip one quart of cream in two minutes. Without a regular whip put the cream into a bowl and with an egg beater or "syl labub" churn beat for a fevr mo ments, then skim off the whipped ?iortion from the surface and drain n a colander, and so continue until nil tho cream has been whipped.?

He had the good luck to marry a girl whose pa rents are quite wealthy, and is at pr?t ent living with his wife in one of hia father-in-law's houses. One day not long since, while dis cussing affairs with a friend, the lat ter asked: "Did the old gentleman give you that house?" "Well?er?-no, not exactly," was the answer. "He offered it to me, but I wouldn't accept it." "How's that?" asked the friend. "Well," answered the man who had made the luoky matrimonial vesture, 'you see, the house really belongs to me. I'm living in it, rent free, and I'll get it when the old man dies. If I accepted it now I'd have to pay the taxes." Struck by Lightning:. An old lady who eat beside Senator Depew in a street car asked him how to get *o the White House. The senator told her. She leaned far over and said: "I beg your pardon, but will you kindly speak a little lsuder. I am very deaf." The senator spoke louder. Then the old lady began to tell" him how much an affiotion her deafness was. "Have you ever tried electrioity?" the senator asked.

All took positions except ooe, an Irishman who stood still. The ser geant asked the reason why he had not moved, but no answer oame from Pat. "Come, my man, are you married?'' "No," replied Pat.

Hold the hook with its back on a smooth or covered table; let the front board down, then the other, holding the leaves in one hand while you open o few leaves at the back, then a few at the front, and so on, alternately opening back and front, gently pressing open the sections till you reach the center of the vol ume. Do this two or three times, ivnd you will obtain the best results. Open the volume violently or care lessly in any one place and you will likely break the back and cause a start in the leaves. Never force the back of the book. One of Washington's Map?.

Better Stick 1c the Farm. lt 1b seid that the annual increase of Chicago's population is from 60,000 to 70.000, and among the newcomers every year are young men from the country, who are victims of the notion that opportunity awaits them in the oities alone. Under this delusion they condemn themselves very proba bly to the disappointments of an over* crowded labor market. . If they get work it is at a small wage or salary; they must live in cheap boarding houses; pass from them to cheap tene? meets if they have the eourage to marry; find more and more that their positior is one of anxious dependence, and that the imaginary charms of eity life disappear, to leave nothing but the depressing reality of buildings jammed together to the exolusion of light and air, of an all-pervading noise and dirt, of a routine wbioh gives lit tie but a bare subsistence in the pres ent and holds out no promise for the future. * In the vast majority of eases such must be the result, and while country life may have some serious drawbacks, it is plain that these young men make a capital mistake when they come to consider the question of opportunity through an ignorant contempt of their familiar surroundings. If, instead of indulging iu dreams of fortune building in the city, they were to mas ter thoroughly all the work of a farm, cultivate an interest in it, add a new intelligence to it, take over the laud of their fathers, or acquire others by purchase, put into this life all the ambition of their dream, they would do better in the <*nd than 90 per oent of the city people; have a greater in tellectual stimulus in their employ ment, get a greater enjoyment out of living, -ud attain to an enviable inde pendence. The opportunity is close at hand, if they will only see it, and it adds to the anomaly of the situation that while t3ey are neglecting their natu ral advantage disillusioned city men past the prime of life are "retiring* to farms, where they waste their sub stance in fooliVa experiments, owing to the belief that any one can be a farmer. But these poor competitors do not count, and if the farm boy will Btiok to the farm and make a science of agriculture his success is assured. Record-Herald. Sethlog to Fear. From Medford, N. J., says the Philadelphia Times, comes a tale of a traveling minister of some repute as an orator whose fortune it was to have his sermon interrupted by cries of "Fire! Fire!" in the streets and the rush of the volunteer laddies. The congregation beoame exoited, but the minister leaned forward, asked that all. remain Bested, requested one of the deacons to step outside and see if there was any danger? and then, by * skillful t**'csh?*!9!!i merged Trhst he had been saying into a talk on hell fire, saying that the ooinmon or gar den brand was as nothing compared to what should be met within the bottom less lake. Evidently he had some deep oonviotions oh the subject and had succeeded in becoming real terri fying. "There is no fire like this of which I speak," he deolared. "It is a fire whose bisse"? . "False alarm!" reassuringly sung out the deacon, who had returned to report. - mm M> mltom? The Verdict ef a Jury. .

The fun in jugging for oatfish, | irhioh is a sport common cs the lower Mississippi, or in gourdin g for catfish, which is practiced on the Tombigbee 1 in Alabama and some of the Georgia 1 rivers, oonsisto in falling out of the i pirogue as often as possible, righting it, clambering in and punning the i fleeing jug or gourd before bailing. Anybody except a Negro, an Indian or a French "Cadian" will upset a pirogue ten times in an afternoon, and it goes without seying that the catfish jugger or gourder must know how to swim. In juggiog for oatfish a strong hand line is out into six-foot lengths. To one end a hook is fastened and the hook is luted with a hank of liver, chicken entrails or cheese mixed with cotton. The older and more strenuous the oheese the better for the purpose. The other end of the lino is tied to the handle of an empty stone jug of one gallon capacity into the neok of whioh a stopper has been driven tight. The air filled jug acts as a great oork or float, marking the posi tion of a line as a bouy, and making it impossible for any fish, however powerful, it may be, to hang itself and keep it under for any length of time. The upward pull of the jug brings the fish to the surface inevita bly. Two men who want fun with the oatfish will rig up a dozen or two lines and jugs, then paddling out upon the plaoid bosom of the Mississippi cast them out one by one and watoh them float. When one of them bobs under, or starts up or down stream with a rush showing that a fish has been hooked, the pirogue, driven by two strong pad dles, darts after it. The objeot is to seize the jug and haul out the Abu. As, however, the jug travels with great speed and takes tho most ecoen trio shoots and curves, sew up, now down, now straight aoross stream, now zigzagging, now whirling in circles, and as the pirogue endeavors to follow it as oloa-jly as a cowboy trails a oow out out from a herd, up sets are the most common features of the sport. It requires no art at all to fall out of ? pirogue, but ? great deal of art to right the narrow craft and get back, and by the time this is accom plished the jug may be a half mile distant and going fast. It is not unusual that two or three jugs show the presence of fish at the same time and when this happens the work is fast and furious for half an hour. Some of the Mississippi catfish are aeveu feet long and weigh 200 pounds and when one of these becomes at tached to the jug then task of captur ing it, killing it and towing it to bank is not a light one. For this purpose most of the juggers take out a small ealibered revolve.. Some men beeome so addicted to this sport that they will have no other and wear wet vl0i.ui.i5 the summer through, jugging for oatfish in the broiling sun and jugging for them with equal passion on moonlight nights. On the Tombigbee the negroes and whites use large calabashes for floats. These gourds are of all shapes and sizes, some being round and as large as a pumpkin, others the thickness of a man's arm and a yard long. - The loose end of the line is tied to the neok of the calabash through a hole bored in its hard shell, and then it makes as good a float and bouy as the jug as well as coating nothing.
