When Moses returned he found Aunt
Belinda seated In a chair, laughing un

“He make me crack my side*!” she

“Now, den!" he exclaimed, ten mln-

Aunt Belinda looked approvingly at
the animal. "How much milk do she

“ Itout three gallon, ’jes' like cream."
“Whar yon buy her, Brudder Aaron?"

"Stole her!" cried Aunt
“and fntoh her to me!”.
”!!' i's 'zactly wot I done.” said he.

InvolnnUnly Aaron glanced up and
down the road, and then he said:
"Dunno ’bout milkin’ in my bes’

"Oh, you kin be keerful,” said she,
’’an’ I wants Ur tas' her milk," and she
went into the house for a pail.

“Dat's not mnch milk,” said she;
“looks like yer keow done guv mos’
her milk in de mornin’.”
“Dat's so,” said Aaron, “jes’ wait 'til
mornin' and yer sees de milk.”
“All right,” said Aunt Belinda,
“you kin tuck her to de shed an’ tie her
up.”
When Aaron came back he wanted
to sit down and talk matrimony, but
Belinda would have none of it
“I'se busy now,” said she, 'Tse got
ter iron Capt. Camp's shirts. You come
in de mornin’, Brudder Aaron, nrUr
breakfas’ an’ den I’ll talk bisness.”
“Got one job o’ milkin' out of yer,
snyway,” said she to herself us he de
parted.
When Aaron was entirely out of
sight Aunt Belinda took the cow from
the shed and led her down to the old
held and left her near the fence which
ran by the road side, where there was
some grass growing in among the
bushes in the fence corners.
Very soon Moses Lipscomb appeared
upon the scene, dressed in his ordinary
clothes, tarnished, torn and easy of fit.
He was very warm and very much ex
cited.
“Look hyar. Aunt B linda,” said he,
“dat ar long-legged brack Aaron was
down at de stor’ at de cross roads an'
braggin’ dat he wasgoin' Ur marry yer,
in' sayin' dat it was all fixed an' set
tled. Wot dat mean. Aunt Belinda?”
“Dat mean he lie,” said Aunt Belin
da, quietly, “nuthln' ’sprisin’ 'bout
dat."
Moses’ face brlghUned. “Ben how
Aunt B'linda. an’ cf ver keeps her In
de shed dat ar driver won’ flu’ her
when he comes back, wot he cahn't do
an’ leave de res’ of de cattl’."
“You done stole her!" repeated Aunt
Belinda.
"Ye*, I done jes’ dat,” replied Moses,
“an’ wot’s more. I’d stole forty keows
rather dan not git you fcr a wife, Aunt
Blinda.”
"Moses Lipscomb,’’ said she after a
slight pause, “you Is wot I calls a one-
sin man. Yous done gone an’ stole dat
keow, but dar you stops. You don’
come Ur me an’ Ull no lies ’bout it.
Now dar’s dat long-legged Aaron, he
done stole a keow an’ foUh her ter me
I an’ tell me a bucketful of lies ’bout
i her. I’se lived long ’nough Ur know
dat I cahn’t git no husban’, 'specially
in dis part ob de county, widout no sin

fin’ her an’ leave her dar. When you
done dat yer kin come back an’ have
yer breakfast Ef dar’s one ting I hates,”
she continued as she went into the
house, "it's milkin’!"
It was about an honr afterward and
Moses was still eating his bacon and
dipping his corn bread into the melted
aud bubbling fat when Annt Belinda, :
looking out of her window, saw the |
long-legged Aaron striding over the I

Moses sat down on the grass, wiping
his face with the corner of a torn shirt
sleeve.
“Was all dat de true fac’," he said,
“wot you done say ’bout buyin’ dat
keow an’ her bein’ yer keow all de
time?"
“True as Gospel,” said she, “I kin
show yer de ’ceipt wot I made de driver
guv me 'fore I paid him. Wouldn* trus*
no stranger like him wot might come
back hyar sayin’ he done los’ a keow in
Perttins’ ole fields."
"Den, B’linda,” said Moses,"I reckons
I’se a no sin man, ’cos cf I done guv
back de keow wot I stole to de pusson
wot I stole her from,den I’sc all right."
"Go ’long, you Moses," cried she, "1

"Tain't so easy, Moses," replied Aunt
Belinda, speaking meditatively, “dar's

Jars dis one ting, I wants a keow an’

“keow!” be maculated.
The brown countenance of her suitor
lengthened. “Keow!” he ejaculated.
“Yes, sah,” said Aunt Belinda, “an’
I’se got Ur see de keow fus' ’fore I guvs
any man my ahnser. Cahn’t take no

she went into the house and left him.
t or a few moments Moses stood as If
he had just been sentenced to the coun
ty prison.
"Keow!” snid lie to himself. "Ef she'd
asked me to guv her de handl' of a milk
Pail I hain't got none," and then, turn
ing, he walked mournfully away.
"hen Aunt Belinda opened her door
the next morning and looked out upon
the dcw-besprinklcd landscape, spark

*un, she saw Moses Lipscomb standing
In front of the house. Ills hands were
In his pockets, his soft old hat was

him was a black and whlU cow, coa-
Untedly nibbling the short gras*.

there was room to talk, she went out
to receive him.

At this moment a sudden noise was
heard inside the house, a stool was
tumbled over the floor, a table was
pushed roughly to one side, th jre wa*
a quick stamping of feet and in an In
stant Moses Lipscomb, his eyes glaring
and his head lowered like a bull ready
to charge a matador, appeared In the
doorway. _ „
“flit, you, Aaron!" cried Annt Belin
da. The injunction was not needed.
The long-legged suitor gave one glance
at the doorway. This was not the firet
time he had seen Moses Lipscomb with
hi* head down and his eyes glaring,
and without hesitating he turned and
fled, with Moses after him. roaring like
an Infuriated king of the herd.
Aaron’s legs were very long; his silk
hat fell off. and he did not stop to ptek
It up, and his fright and his strides
were so great that he soon left his pur
suer fur behind. Moses stopped and,
giving the hat a kick that would have
done credit to a college football man,

foe, ho shouted:

The Old Man Had th* Sympathr of tho
Crowd, Anyway.
It was on a train that left Evansville,
Ind., for St. Louis, a certain evening
not long ago, and the old man in the
case had the sympathy of all the pas
sengers aboard the car. Besides the
old man mentioned the principal actors
in the case were his son and a quart
flask of whisky. The old man and his
son are both well known in St. Louis,
prominent in business and social cir
cles. A few moments after the de
parture of the train from Evansville
the young man fortified himself with
a good-sired “swig” ’from his flask,
then starting at one end of the car he
went towards the other end, stopping
to talk with everyone as he passed
them. He knew many of them, bnt to
those with whom he was unacquainted
he spoke just the same, offering his
flask and taking frequent libation*
himself. It was easily seen that
the old man was his father, and
the sympathy of ull on the car went
out to the poor, white-haired parent,
thus forced to witness the disgraceful
conduct of his offspring. Finally the
young man, becoming too drunk to
stand, settled himself in a seat near
the front of the car and In a few mo
ments was sound asleep. A sigh of re
lief was distinctly audible as It es
caped from the old man.
One by one the pitying passengers
dropped off to sleep, until the only
one awake were the father and the
Gleaner. The old man waited till he
thought all had sought rest, then slow
ly got up from hi* seat and, walking
through the car, he stood by his slum
bering son. For some minutes he gazed
at him, breathing heavily the while,
and with grief and shame plainly de
picted on his countenance. Finally he
went to the cooler and got a drink of
water, then returned to the side of his
boy. He stooped down and noted his
countenance closely, then slowly shook
his head as he resumed an erect posture,
his lips moving slightly as though he
was saying to himself that there was
no doubt about his son being decid
edly and disgracefully drunk.
Then the father’s gaze wandered to
ward the parcel rack above the scat,
wherein reposed the son's traveling
bag. Carefully reaching it, the old
man opened it and took ont the flask,
now only partly full. Ue hesitated as
he looked first at it, then at the boy,
then at the door. The Gleaner's eyes
opened wide as the old man seemed
about to hurl the flask out of the door
of the car. Suddenly withdrawing the
cork, the old man threw back his head,
lifted the flask to his lips and took a
good, long pull. Then ho smacked hi*
lips quietly, replaced the flask and va
lise and returned to his seat
And in five minutes the Gleaner was
the only person in the car awake.—St.
Louis Republic.
NOT THE SAME oLTm
But She “Was U*n<l“ T.ras Hadn't Made

The following anecdote has both a
comics 1 and pathetic side. Whst a long
time fifty years is 'r> the life of a
human being! And how far apart, how
unlike in tastes, feelings, opinions and
habits, men and women can become,
; who in childhood slept under the same
rtxjf, attended the same school ami
dreamed of nothing but of lie! ng friends
forever! A gentleman whose “courtly
manners" were mentioned in all the
newspapers when lie died, a few years
after this incident, fancied in his old
age that he wished to see his boyhood
friends, and most of all. the fair
young girl, whose love long years l>c-
fore. he almost, but not quite, had
dr. red to ask.
He forgot country mnnnersnnd called
«t half-past eleven In the forenoon. He
■vas asked to walk "right cut into the
kitchen,” as there was no fire anywhere
rise.
liis early admiration stood before
him. in a worn calico dress.no collar and
s wide and not faultlessly clean apron.
Her half combed grizzly hair was
tucked under a rusty black lace cap,
trimmed with faded purple ribbon She
had no teeth and a huge pair of silver-
howed spectacles were pushed up on
her brown, wrinkled forehead.
Fifty-two years before- they had
parted with a kiss, and he had been in
tending to meet her with one and thus
bridge the chasm of years. But he
changed his mind when through his
gold-bowed glasses he took In the pic
ture before him.
Wiping her hands on her apron she
gave him a hearty handshake and bade
him "sit right down," adding that they
were "killing hoga and trying up
lurd,” but if he would “stay to dinner”
she would have “a fire put in the front
room."
Of course he declined the invitation,
nnd for his own comfort, as well as for
his convenience, he determined to make
his call short. Still, he must say some
thing complimentary before leaving,
but what could he say?
Just then the lard boiled over, and
with a shrill cry to her daughter to
"come quick,” the woman jumped up
and caught hold of the kettle. The
smoke and perfume were in themselves
far from agreeable, but they were
grateful to tho caller, ns they gave him
a chance for the desired compliment.
“Your step has lost none of its elas
ticity since the evening we sauntered
together along the bunks of the R—,"
he said, “while this"—hohling out his
gold-headed cane—"Is needed to sup
port mine."
“Yes,” answered the woman, “I’m ns
spry as a kitten, and I have thought
ever since you've been hero that I was
glad enough time hadn't changed me
as It has you.”—Youtli’s Companion.

Some people are constantly
troubled with pimples and boils,
especially on the face and neck.
The beet remedy is a thorough
course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
whichexpels all humors through
the proper channels, and so
makes the skin become soft,
healthy, and fair.
A story is told of three French
boys who were studying a vol
ume of Shakespeare in their
own tongue, their task being to
render portions of it into Eng
lish. When they came to “Ham
let’s” famous soliloquy, “To he
or not to be,” their respective
translations were as follows:
1. “To was or not to am.”
2. “To w»=re or is to not.”
3. “To should or not to will.”
... .
Byron used a deal of haii-
dressing but was very particu.
lar to have only the best to be
found in the market. If Ayer’s
Hair Vigor had been obtainable
then, doubtless he would have
tested its merits, as so many
distinguished and fashionable
people are doing now-a uays.

to the retail trade, as well as to
consumers, in original, unbroken
packages,

off to buy their usual barrel of
sugar or barrel of flour, and the
like, for they can get them just
as cheap at their very doors, and
save freight.
