oountenahoa always long and tad
and wearing an expreetlon aa o( vague
terror, became longer, sadder and still
more terrified looking. It was a winter
evening and he and I and the old house
keeper ware sitting about the open
fireplace of the great, roomy kitchen
iu that democratic fashion so universal
in American farm Ufa.

pretty good feller after all, an' think
ing how happy Trade Would be. I
hadn't been there half aa hour, when
a woman oome runnta 1 along the pike
that ran parallel with the field, a-
wavin' her sun-bonnet at me wild like,
an' soreamln* at the top of her voloe :
'Keub! Reub! Reub Brownfield ! Oome
right home !* she said. I hope you
won’t never feel as I did then. I
seemed to know that very mlnit what
the matter was. It wasn’t five minutes
before I got there, but I seemed aa
hour a-goln.’ My feet felt like there’s
lead weights hung to ’em.
" When 1 oome in sight o’ the house
there was folks standin* all around it,
He-took hie prj>© Iron* his mouth, ea 1 neighbor women eomh^lwandeutr to bonsehri-ead- then- they
turned it upside' down and emptied It
into the aahes by knocking it against
the chimney piece before he answered.
"Yes,” said he, then, glancing at
Mrs. Simmons and discovering that
eha was sound; asleep and snoring.
"Yes, 1 had a lesson on bein’ punctual
onct that I ’low will last me a life
time.” V
"So?" said I, "Was it anything
you wouldn’t mind telling about V”
Reub put his pipe in his pocket
before he answered
‘I don't mind tollin'you, Mr. Pern-
ley. Men have a sort of understanding
of oae another, an’ some streaks that
is prstty much alike. I reckon so’s’t
they know bow to sympathize with each
other. Bnt I'd just as leave Miss Sim-
moas would go right on sleepln.’ She
nor no other woman, 1 reckon, would
"ksva wary much use for me after
h sarin’ It.”
This roused my interest and piqued
my curiosity. I lay back la the big
Sbaker rocking-chair and settled my-
self lato a comfortable position for
Ustwalagaslaaid: "Now, forge ahead,
Ranh.”
Be frowaed at the fire for so long a
time before proceeding that I began
to fear he had thought better of It, and
I should lose his story. Pi
however, be withdrew his

Somebody'd seen the doctor a passing
in bis buggy, an’ stopped him at the
gate. He was workln' over little Reub
when l went In, tryin’ to make him
breathe by movin’ bis arms up an’
down. But 'twarn’t no use. Little
Keub was drowned dead, an’ I that
would a died for him ten times over had
killed my baby by 'lowin’ I's goin’ to
buy a pump and never a doin’ it.
Somehow I couldn't sense it. He
looked so natural—kinder like he’s
laughin’, too, an’ showln’ them teeth.
I looked for ’Trude to bate me, but
what do you reckon she did ? She just
oome an’ put her arms ’round me
before all them people, just tike I’s
some poor hurt creetur’, an’ she patted
me on the shoulder, an’ she says:
‘There, there, Reub—there! there !
You've got me left, Reub, poor Reub!’
“ Well, I don’t cere toswy no asere
about that day, Mr. Kernley. nor the
days that followed it. Taln’t often I
let myself think about ’em ; I’d go wild
if I did. Trude never blamed me, nor

the pony, but work should be mixed

Sometimes I think there is too much
schooling and ooileging going on in
this generation, and too little work.
The curriculum of our public schools is
now nine long years, say from eight to
seventeen, and then comes three or
four more of college and no work in all

a sweet girl graduate in the State who

•he never thought of anything but the
baby. She raised herself, crouching
on all fours as she was, and sought to
lift a part of the heavy beam which
seemed to be slowly deadening all her
faculties. After a time she noticed
that the cradle had formed a sort of
n-nook -next-the- waltraad- Iw-nn-heer
she wrestled to crawl the two feet
which Intervened between her and the
clear space.
As she at last dragged her body from
beneath the beam she must have
fainted for a moment. She came to in
a moment, however, knd immediately
groped with both her bleeding hands
over and over the cradle. Where was
the baby ? Soon in the darkness a
vivid flash of lightning illumined the
place and she saw that Johnny was
right next to her, wnere he had been
tumbled when the cradle turned under
the cruel weight of the timbers.
Meg tenderly lifted the little form.
She knew quite well that the baby wae
dead. She did not caress it with Any
vain hope of bringing it to life again.
She only held iu face close to her face
and crouched in the corner there, say
ing-many Inarticulate words to it. She
murmured the vague and InU&glble
nothings to her child that all women

every barn and board fence and rocky
cliff there was a red letter sign like a
patent medicine sign and it said;
"Don’t Snore ! Don’t Snore ! Don’t

This baby-raising businese ie-about
the biggest business 1 know of, and the
most responsible. I was one out of ten
that my mother raised, and my wife
has raised ten, and we have raised ten,

there were uo grandparents incur fam

grandparents and several aunts and a
nurse and a baby carriage to raise a

First—The Whitney plan of interna

consent to such agreement ? She de

steadfastly adhered to that policy.

each 30 days calling for more or bigger

All the goods we sold Commissioner
Traxler were sold on 60 days or four

per cent, per annum, and so stated on
each invoice, i cannot understand how

that
evening from tee factory where ho,

bers aad lying masonry, M shuddered
ee he luuked up at tee two windows ue
tee second floor. He sew tee ooraer
saloon crowded with wild-eyed men.
The place was lighted with smoky
lamps and many tallow caadlea. A
woman reeled out aad lurched against
him. The smell of her person and the
hot odors from the saloon sickened
him strangely.
He looked up at the darkened win
dows, he saw them all broken, be knew
the roof was off, he felt that a last
great weight and horror had fallen
upon tils (life. He stood there, and in
his ears and on his sinking heart Meg’s
cry resounded. As he climbed up the
narrow side staircase he remembered
afterwards how trifling the wound on
his arm seemed to him. He reached
the second floor and in the darkness
he listened shivering and trembling.
“ Meg !” he cried, “ Meg !” and from
the corner where she was imprisoned
he heard the taint whisper of a wo
man's voice. It was only a dim whisper
he heard, but it guided him to the,
place.
When he had raised the beam and
taken her andthe baby up in his arms,
Meg said soitly. " You’re not hurt, arc
you, John ?" She attempted to cover
t"t-' rraby’s face, before he couW see it,
bu 1 , u^r haaJs ro'us .d to ob^y her wif..
John had no need to look in the chi.d’s
face; what he saw in his wife’s bad
sufficed. He bent double under the
unaccustomed weight as he made his
way down the stairs'. He touched his
lips to Meg's in the darkness. It was
one of those act* which'‘God has allow
ed to take the place of words.
^Saturday the roof and the wall were
repaired and Sunday morning a little
wisp of whits muslin and ribbons were
seen fluttering from the second story
window.

demand, and so soon an the United
States and the European nations closed
their mints to silver the decreased de
mand lessened the price of ■live*' bul
lion, while the increased demand for
gold thereby increased the price of
gold. Thus the two metals parted
company in value as well as in money
use.
It will hardly be questioned that in
ternational free coinage would restore
silver to par with gold. In such case'
old, no longer having the monopoly,
ut being in competition with silver,
would fall in price and silver would
rise until parity was reached.
It will also be conceded that the
parity> would be maintained with free
coinage by the United States alone at
a ratio .of 30 to 1. This Js what Is
meant by some when they say, " Put a
dollar’s worth of silver in a silver dol
lar.”
The fallacy of the contention for
taking the present commercial values
as the basis of the coinage ratio is
that it leaves oat of consideration the
increased market price of silver that
would come from its Increased use
caused by Its restoration to mintage. ,
Could it be definitely ascertained in
advance what effect free coinage would
produce on the price, the ratio could
