If you would And the warmest spot
In a little village, on a cold duy, waitch
the old codgers and see where they
congregate. That's what the stray
cats do, or perhaps the codgers watch
the cats. However that may be, It Is
safe to follow either, for both may be
depended upon to find the open door
where comfort is. They would prob
ably lead you to the rear end of the
village store, the tobacco-stained drawing-room
wheru an old stove dispenses
hospitality in an atmosphere like unto
which, for genial disposition, there is
none on earth so unfailing.
From November to May the old stove
in the back of Chris' Kowton's store
was, -to its devotees at least, the most
popular hostess in Siinpklnsvllle. And,
be it understood, her circle was com
posed of people in good repute. Even
tliei cats sleeping at her feet, if person
ally tramps, were well connected, be
ing lineal descendants of known cats
belonging to families In good standing.
Many, Indeed, were natives of the shop,
and had come into this kingdom of com
fort In a certain feline lying-in hos
pital, behind the rows of barrels ithat
flanked the stove on either side.
It was the lust day of December.
The wind was raw, and cold, and of a
fitful mind, Mowing In contrary gusts
and throwing into the faces of people
going In all directions various samples
from the winter storehouse of the sky,
now a threat, a promise or a dare, as to
(how the New Year should come In.
"Blest If Doc' ain't got snow on his
coat. Kalnin' when I come In," said
one of the two old men who drew their
seats back a little while the speaker
pushed a chair fur-ward with his boot.
"Reckon I got both froze and wet
drops on me twlx' this an' Meredith's,"
drawled the newcomer, depositing his
paddle-bags beside ihls chair, wiping the
drops from his sleeves over the stove,
and spreading his thin palms for its
grateful return of warm steam.
"Sleetln' out our fray," remarked his
neighbor, between pipe pults. And then
he added:
"How's Meredith's wife coming on,
doctor? Reckon she's purty bad off,
ain't she?"
The doctor was filling his pipe now,
and
he did not answer immediately.
But presently he said, as he deliberate
ly reached forward and seized the tongs
anu nrtea a live coal to his pipe:
"Meredith's wife don't rightfully be
"But I Do Know Her
long In doctor's care. She ain't to
say sick. She's heartbroke, that's
what she Is, but of co'se that ain't a
thing I can tell her or him, either."
"This has been a mighty slow and
tiresome year in Slmpklnsville," he
added, In a moment, "an' I'm glad to
see it drawln' to a close. It come in
with snow an' sleet, an' troubles, an'
seems like It's goln" out the same way
Jest like the years have done three
years past."
"Jest look at that cat, what a dusty
color she's got between spots. Th'aln't
a cat In Slmpklnsville, hardly, thet
don't show a trace o' Jim Meredith's
maltee an' I Jest nachelly despise It,
'cause that's one' of the presents he
brought out there that maltee Is."
"Maltee Is a good enough color for a
cat ef It's kep' true," remarked old
Pete Taylor. "Plenty good enough ef
It's kep' true, but It's like gray paint;
It'll mark up most anything it's mixed
with and cloud It."
"I reckon Jim Meredith's maltee ain't
the only thing o' his thet's cast a shade
over Slmpklnsville." said old Mr. Mc
" Monlgle, who sat opposite.
"That's so!" grunted the circle.
' "That's so shore ez you're born,"
echoed Pete. "Slmpklnsville has turned
out some toler'ble fair days sense little
May Meredith dropped out of it, but
ythe sun ain't never shone on It quite
the same to my notion."
"Wonder where she Is?" said Mc
Monlgle. "My opinion Is she's dead,
an' that her mother knows It. I
wouldn't be surprised ef the devil that
enticed her away has killed her. One't
ft feller like that gits a girl Into a
crowded city and gits tired of her
there's a dozen ways of glttln,' shet of
her."
"Yas, a hundred of 'em. It's done
every day, I don't doubt."
"See that stove how she spits smoke.
East wind'U make her spit any day
seems to gag her." I
"Yas," said McMonlgle, chuckling
softly as he leaned forwnrd and began
poking the fire, "she hates a east wind,
but she likes me. Don't you, old girl?
Sep her growled In the face while I
chuck her under the chin."
"Look out you don't chuck out a coal
of fire on kitty with your foolln'," said
old man Taylor, and then he added:
"She does blush In the face, don't
she? An' see her wink under her Isin
glass spectacles when she's flirted
with."
"That stove Is a well-behaved old
lady, reg'larly gits religion, on' shouts
whenever the wind's from the right
quarter an' I won't have her spoke of
with disrespect," said the doctor.
"Ef she could tell all she's heard, sit
tin' there summer an' winter, I reckon
H'd mnke a book an' a Interestln' one,
too.. There's been. cats and mice born
In nerval! summer an' blrdH hatched;
an' Rowton tells me he's got a domtn
lcker hen thet's reg'larly watched for

Bhe can lay In her. An' didn't you
never hear about Phil Toland hldln' a

He thought he had a 'tackt o' the trem
ens, shore an' of a adult variety."
"Pity it hadn't a skerrt him Into tem
perance," remarked the man opposite.
"Did sober him up for purty nigh two
weeks. Rowton he saw it all, an' he
give the fellers the wink, an' when
Pete hollered he ast him what was the
matter, an5 of co'se Pete he pointed to
the hen that was kitin' through the
sto'e that minute, squawklnV for dear
life, an' all bedaubled over the egg;
an' sez he: 'What sort o' dash blanket
ed hens hev you got round here, settln'
In stoves?' And Rowton he looks round
and winks at the boys. 'Hen,' sez he,
'what hen? Any o" you fellers seen a
hen anywhere round here?'
"Of co'se every feller swo'e he liad'nt
saw no hen, an' Rowton he went up to
Pete and he sez, sez he: 'Pete,' says he,
you better go home an' lay down.
You ain't well.'
"Well, sir, Pete wasn't seen on the
streets for up'ards o' three weeks after
that. .
"Yas, that stove has seen sights and
heard secrets, too, I don't doubt.
"They say that nigger, Prophet, used
to set down an' talk to her same as ef
she was a person, some nights, when
he'd have her all to hlsself. Rowton
ast him one day what made him do It,
and he lowed that he could converse
with anything that had the breath of
life In it. There is no nceountln' for
what notions a nlgger'll take."
"No, an' there's no tellln' how much
or how little they know, neither. Old
Proph', half blind and foolish, litnpln'
round In the woods, gatherln' queer
roots, and talkin' to hlsself, didn't
seem to have no intelligence, rightly
speakln', an' yet he has called out
prophecies that have come true even
befo' he prophesied about May Mere

"Here comes Brother Squires, chaw
In' tobacco like a sinner. I do love a
preacher that'll chaw tobacco.
"Hello, Brother Squires!" he called
out now, to a tall, clerical old man who
approached the group.
"Hello! What you doln' In a sto'e like
this, I like to know? Th'aln't no Bibles,
nor trac's for sale here, an' your folks
don't eat molosses and bacon same ez
us sinners, do you?"
"Well, my friends," replied the par
son, smiling broadly as ihe advanced,
"since you good people don't supply us
with locusts and wild honey, we are
reduced to the necessity of eatln' plain
bread an' meat but you see I live up

to the Baptist standard, as far as I can.
I wear the leathern girdle about my
loins."
He pointed to the long, soft leather
whip which, for safe keeping, he had
tied loosely about his waist.
"Room for one more?" he added, as
declining the only vacant chair he
seated himself upon a soap box, ex
tended his long legs and raised his
boots upon the ledge of 'tine stove.
"I declare. Brother Squires, the
patches on them boots are better'n a
contribution box," said McMonlgle.
laughing, as he thrust his hand down
into his pocket.
"Reckon It'll take a half dollar to
cover this one," he added, as he play
fully, balanced a bright coin over the
topmost patch on the pastor's
"Stop your laughln' now, parson.
Don't shake It off! Come up, boys!
Who'll cover the next patch? Ef my
'rlthmtUlc Is right there's Jest about
a patifti apiece for us to cover not ln-
cludlu' ithe half soles. I know parson
wouldn't have money set above his
soul."
"No, certainly' not, an' If anybody'd
place It there, of co'se I'd remove It dm
mediately," the parson answered with
ready wit. And then he added more
seriously:
"I have passed my hat around to col
ledt my salary, once In awhile, but I
never expected to haul around my old
shoes and really, my friends, I don't
know as I can allow It."
Still lie, did not draw them In, and
the three old men grew so hilarious
over the fun of covering the parson's
patches with the ever-slipping coins
that a crowd was Boon collected, the
result being the pocketlng'of the en
tire handful of small coins by Rowton,
with the generous assurance that It
should be good for the best pair of
boots In hits store, to be fitted at the
pastor's convenience.
It was after this mirth had all sub

Into their accustomed quiet that the

What is
Castoria Is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infants
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
f,or Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
fevcrishncss. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates tho food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural .sleep. Cas
toria Is tho Children's Panacea the Mother's Friend.
Castoria.
" Castoria Is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers hare repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children."
Da. Q. 0. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
Castoria Is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
Interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the variousquack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thoreby Bending
them to premature graves."
Da, J. F. Kincrelos,
Conway, Ark.
The Centaur Company, TZ
parson remarked, with some show of
hesitation:
My brothers, when I was coming
towards you awhile ngo I heard two
names. They are names that I hear
now and then among my people
names of two persons I hav6 never met
persons who passed out of your com
munity some time before I was sta
tioned among you. One of them, I
know, has a sad history. The details
of the story I have never heard, but It
Is In the air. Scarcely a village In all
our dear world but has, no matter how
blue Its skies, a little cloud upon them
a cloud which to Its people seems al
ways to reflect the pitiful face of one
of Its fair daughters. I don't know the
story of May Meredith or Is It May
Day Meredith?"
'She was born May day, and chris
tened that-a-way," answered McMonl
gle. "But she was jest ez often called
Daisy of May any name thet 'd fit a
spring day or a flower would fit her."
'Well, I don't know her story," the
parson resumed, "but I do know her
fate. And perhaps that Is enough to
know.
'The other name you called was 'Old
Proph,' or 'Prophet.' Tell me about
him. Who was he? How was he con
nected with May Day Meredith?"
He paused and looked from one face
to another for the answer, which was
slow In coming.
"Go on an' til It, Dan'l," said the
doctor, finally, with an Inclination of
the head toward McMonlgle. ,
Old man McMonlgle shook the to
bacco from his pipe, and refilled It
slowly, without a word. Then he as
deliberately lit It, puffed Its fires to the
glowing point, and took it from his lips
as he began.
(To Be Continued.)
TOOK OATH ABROAD.
William K. King, Who Was Running Mato
with l'rnnklin Pierce.
William Hufus King (born April 6,
1786; died April 18. 1853) was a vice-
president of the United States who
never served in that capacly, and one
who took the oath of office on foreign
soil something which can be said of
no other executive officer elected by the
people of this country. King was an
Invalid, but his friends urged him to
take second place on the ticket with
Pierce In 1852. Both were elected, but
King's health failed so rapidly that he
was forced to go to Cuba before Inaug
uration day.
Not having returend to the United
States by March 4, congress passed a
special act authorizing the United
States consul at Mantanzas, Cuba, to
swear him In as vice president at about
the hour wheh Pierce was taking the
oath of office at Washington. This ar
rangement was carried out to a dot,
and on the day appointed, at a planta
tion on one of the highest hills of Man
tanzas, Mr. King was made vice presi
dent of the United States amid the
solemn "Vaya vol, con Dlos" (God will
be with you) of the Creoles who had as
sembled to witness the unique specta
cle. Vice President King returned to
his home at Cahawba, Ala., arriving
at that place on April 17, 1853, and died
on the following day. Ills remains were
laid to rest on his plantation, known
as "Pine Hills."
WOMEN ARE RESPONSIBLE.
If Titers Has Been Any Decline in tho
Chivalry ot Men.
From the Detrlot Free Press.
It would seem a very simple thing,
but the grace and politeness and gen
tleness of speech which distinguished
the women of the chlvalrlc nge arc now
almost wholly unknown. When women
talk of the decay of chivalry In man
they forget that men are what women
make them. Men are the exact reflec
tion of their mothers and sisters and
wives. . ;
Through the history of men of the
past we have accurate knowledge of
the women of that time. As it Is Im
possible for the fountain to rise higher
than its source, so it Is Impossible for
men to rise higher than their mothers,
wlves and sisters.
MODERN VANDALISM.
The Demolition of Dickens' Famous Land
marks Proceeds Apace.
Another Dickens landmark foaa been
doomed for destruction. This Is In Hoi
born, a pant of London for which the
novelist must have had some fondneisi,
for ihe lived there or thereabouts until
prosperity came to him, and' many of
the episodes of tils stories down to
"Pip's" life in London In "Great Kxpec
tatlons" are laid In the Inns or streets
of that venerable "thoroughfare.
It is Wood's hotel that the vandals
are now about to demolish and In one
sat of moms In the building Dickens
passed through some of the many vicis
situde of his early life.
Castoria.
" Castoria Is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it assuperiortoany prescription
known to me,"
H. A. Archer, II. D.,
Ill So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y,
" Our physicians iu the children's depart
ment have spoken highly of their experi
ence In their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among oui
medical supplies what Is known as regular
products, yet wo are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon It."
