M^T DON'T reckon folks should bo

possum hunter of Tennessee as
he roasted chestnuts at the big
Breplnce, "but some of us are, nnd It
sometimes makes things unpleasant.
Take my old woman, fur Instance.

"One Sunday six or eight years ago
?he wanted me to go to preachln' with
ler. I wanted to loaf around and see
"half a dozen wildcats was climbtn'
ovkr me"
[f the coons was comln' down Into the
co'nflelds ylt, and neither one of us
would give In to the other. She went
iway mad, nnd she was mad when she
:omo back, and It was late In the evenIn*
befo* she got down the Bible nnd
laid:
" 'Zeb White, the preacher was
preachln* to us today about Dan'l In
the lions' den, nnd I want to ask yo'
Bome questions. Was them reg'lar
lions, with teeth and a roar?'
44 'Can't say,' says I, still feellu' sot.
44 'Do yo' know why them lions didn't
eat Dan'l?'
44 4Noap.'
44 4And yo' don't keer, do yo'V
44 'Not a bit.'
44 'Waal, yo' keep right on beln' mean
and see how yo'll come out. A man
may be sot ag'ln his wife and not suffer
too much, but when he's sot ag'ln
the Bible that's a different thing. I
wish yo'd find the place about Joner
and the whale and read It to me.'
44 4I ain't carin' to read this evenln','
SOTS I.
44 'But yo' believe that the whale
swallered him, don't yo'?'
44 'I ain't sayln' as I do or don't.
What I'm thlnkin' about is whether
them coonB will come down In the co'nfleld
tonight.'
44 4And a Sunday night, tool' she says.
4Zeb White, thar's suahly a rod of punishment
laid up fur yo'. Yo' was Bot
ag'ln Dan'l, and now yo' are sot ag'ln
Joner, and don't yo' reckon yo'll git
out of It without trouble. Will yo'
read to me about tho children who was
devoured by the b'ars?'
44 'Not Bkassly,' says I, 'beln' I'm
waltln' to hear the old dawg bark to
tell me the coons is around.'
" 'How many children do yo' reckon
thar was?'
" 'Can't say.'
"'How many b'ars?'
" 'Can't say.'
" Then yo' ore sot ag'ln them too. I
wouldn't be In yo'r shoes fur this hull
Cumberland mounting. I don't reckon
yo' believe about the children of Is*
jtael passin' across the Red aea dry
shod?'
" 'I ain't sayln' as I do.'
" 'Waal, I shan't struggle with yo'
do mo',' she says as she closes the Bible.
'A man who Is sot ag'in his wife,
Dan'l, Joncr, the b'ars and the Red sea
|s bound to meet up with a calamity,
and yo' Jest go right ahead.'
"Jest then," said Zeb, "my old dawg
outside begun to bark and rush around,
and I took up my gun and went out.
I heard a great rustlin' and scatterin'
around, and I reckoned that mo' than
a hundred coons was movln' down upon
the co'n.
"I called to the dawg to sick 'em, but
the critter dropped his tail and sneaked
Into the bouse. 'Peared like a funny
thing for him to do, but I went
down among the co'n alone. It wasn't

powder smoke had skassly blown away
when half a dozen wildcats was climbIn'
over me. I was taken by surprise,
as I was lookln' fur coons, but I reckon
it didn't make much difference. I
want to tell yo' about wildcats. One
of 'em will give most any man all the
blsness he wants fur ten or fifteen
minlts, but when five or six pile on to
him at once he might as well try to
fight buzzsaws and redhot pokers. 1

yo', but she made me feel wuss. She
didn't say oue single word to me all
that time. When she hnd abont finished
flxln' me up, I says:
" 'Linda, how do yo' reckon that
them coons turned into wildcats all to
once?'
"She sorter smiled ns she looked at
me, but she didn't say anything. It
was Jest three weeks befo' she tackled
me al>out Providence. I had got out

" 'The whale ewnllered him as suah's
yo'r bo'n.'
" 'And them b'ars and children?'
" 'The b'ars eat 'em up to the very
last onefc and it served 'em right.'
" 'And the children of Israel and the
Red sea?' she goes on.
" 'I believe every last word of it,'
says I.
" 'And is the dawg to be whopped
fur not inakln' as big a fule of hlsself
as yo* did?'
" I reckoned on whoppln' him, but
I'll let it go-thls time. Anything mo'?'
" 'Nuthln' mo', Zeb,' she says as she
comes over and kisses me, ' 'cept that
yo' hadn't better git too frisky and
think yo' are a bigger man than Providence.
Whenever yo' git to feelin' that
way yo' Jest remember that a power
which kin turn coons into wildcats
ain't gwine to 'low itself to be bossed

NOT SO VERY GREEN.
The Florida Man Rnther Evened
Matter* Up Wltli the New Yorker.
When the young man from Florida
came to live in New York, he woke up
one morning last winter, and, going to
the window, he looked out on what was
to him a novel scene. R was a snowstorm,
the first he had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes, ho ran into
the street He stooped and gathered
handfuls of snow and threw them in
the air. Ho jumped into a drift and
sent it flying with bis feet He finally
lay down and rolled in it all the time
shouting and laughing at the top of his
voice. A
One of the crowd which had gathered
to watch his antics went up to him and
told him how his mother used to cure
fits and volunteered to try it on him.
"I haven't any fit" the young man
said.
"What's the matter with you, then?"
"Why, don't y^u see the snow?"
"Yes, I see it. What of it? I have
seen it before."
"Well, I haven't," said the Florida
young man.
"Whatl You never saw snow before?"
asked the astonished questioner.
"Never. Seems strange to you, don't
it?"
"It beats any sample of verdancy I
ever run across."
"Oh, I don't know," mused the Florida
cracker. "Did you ever see an alligator
eating a nigger? No? Well, you
are not so many after all. I have seen
it many times." And, throwing a hand*
ful of snow down bis shirt collar, he
pursued his Joyous gambols.-?New

Quotation Mark).
Speaking of the use of quotation
marks, the London Chronicle says:
But why all these inverted commas,
"the silly trick of peppering pages with
these uncouth bacilli?" You wiU find
none of these bacilli In the Bible. Take
this passage, chosen at random:
Now Jesus knew that they were
desirous to Hsk him, and said unto
them, Do ye Inquire among yourselves
of that I said, A little while, and ye
shall not see me; and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me?
The modern compositor would settbat
passage between two brackets of Inverted
commas, for It Is a quote within
a quote. But it Is beautifully clear as
It stands, and among all Biblical misunderstandings
no one, we think, has
been misled by tho absence of an inverted
comma.
A Story of Browning.
Browning himself couldn't always explain
bis meaning at first rending. Dr.
Furnivall,. founder of the English
Browning society, frequently consulted
the poet as to the meaning of some
passage in bis works. "Bless me,"
Browning would say, "1 really have
forgotten what I did mean, and as I
haven't got a copy of my works by
me I really can't enlighten you. Just
lend me the book, there's a good fellow.
I'll look it over at my leisure and
try to find out what was in my mind
t the time."

young colored girl from Virginia went

day and was astounded to see the negro
Sitting on the floor with her hair,

hearing the approach of the mistress,
the servant went on with her occupation,
which was pulling first one curly

suggested that she had either lost a
fortune or "got religion." The madam
stared n moment and then exclaimed:
"For goodness' sake, Betty, what are

The maid hurriedly scrambled to her

Snxony'i Forest*.
Saxony possesses one of the best
regulated systems of forestry In the
world. The forests of Saxony serve
not only the purpose of giving tho state
a substantial annual revenue, but they
add a thousandfold to the scenery of
the country, thus attracting ninny tourists
into those parts every summer.
The most Important feature of the forests,
however, Is the fact that they
keep forever alive the fountains of water
which spring from tho highlands
of the Erzgeblrge npd Saxon Switzerland.
The forests furnish the irthtcrial
and the water the motive power to
hundreds of pulp, paper and saw mills,
which, in turn, give employment to
thousands of men, women and children.

The Same Old Story.
J. A. Kelly relates an experience
similiar to that which has happened in
almost every neighborhood in the

by thousands of others. He says:
?Lsat summer I had an attack of dysentary

with entirely satisfrctory results. The
trouble was controlled much quicksr
than former attacts when I used other

MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.
Why the Colonel Stopped Hli Score
of Chlnnmen at Five.
"I had rend," said the colonel as bo
was relating some of his experiences in
China, "that if a person fell into the
water no one could pull him out, holding
that his falling in was a decree of
Trovidenco that must not be interfered
With.
"One day on one of the canals 1
stumbled and went overboard, and, al*
though there wero twelve boatmen, not
one of them would extend me a hand.
After a close shave, as I cannot swim,
I got aboard again, and as soon as 1
recovered my breath I yelled at the
boss boatman:
" 'You infernal scoundrel, but why
didn't you help me out?'?
" 'It was your fate to fall in,' he
calmly replied.
" 'And it's your fate to take a good
licking!' I said as I went for him.
"When I had finished him off, I took
another, and I was just polishing off
my fifth victim when the sixth mail
halted me to say:
" 'There seems to be a mistake here.
We are taught that If a person falls
into the water he must save himself
or drown, but we are not taught that if.
he "floes save himself he is at liberty
to lick half of China in revenge.'
"I thought his point well taken,"
lnughed the colonel, "and I stopped my
score at five and went down to change
into dry clothes."?Boston Globe.
Didn't Reckon Foreigner*.
It was a little boy in an American

are speaking of foreigners, perhaps ha
was!"?Stray Stories. i
