. It was a. fine summer morning In one
of the southern counties of Virginia,
and In front of her own little house sat
Aunt Belinda, Tinsley, paring potatoes.
This worthy person was a colored
woman, something under 40 years of
age, light brown in color and comely
to look upon. She was neatly dressed,
and her surroundings, as well as the
amiable and satisfied expression of her
countenance, Bhowed that her circum
stances were comfortable.
In her ealler days she had lived
Uith white people and had been cook
nil iaundress. Retiring from domes
tic service, she had married Dick Tins
ley, an Industrious and worthy black
smith, who, about two years 'before
this summer morning, had died, leav
ing his widow a small but well-built
house ut more pretentious design than
any -of the negro habitations In the
neighborhood, a few acres of land, all
lnid for, and, us itpirt had It, an In
come, although there was not unanim
ity in the aeli;linorhood regarding the
amount-of this income, nor from what
If 'was derived. But everybody knew
that Aunt B"lindn. as she was called
by her older friends and acquaintances,
or Mrs. Tingsley, as some colored peo
ple of progressive vlows now chose to
designate her was a person to be en
vied, because, so far as outsiders could
determine, she had all she wanted.
Aunt Belinda lived alone, and when
Bhe had pared four medium-sized pota
toes she knew these were enough for a
meal, but she was considering whether
or not it would be well to boll some
more which might be cut and fried
for supper, when, raising her eyes, she
saw a man coming along the path
which led to her house. At first she
did hot recognize him, but In a few
minutes she saw that he was Moses
Ilpscomb, a man somewhat younger
than herself and a little browner. She
had known him all her life as a good
natured, Jolly fellow, who, although
spasmodically industrious and able to
liei'form surprising feats of labor at
liog-kllling time, or on other occasions
when the work was suitably mixed
with excitement, was In general, on ac
count of his aversion to monotonous
employment, as needy a man as ever
strutted through a cake walk or
twanged a. banjo.
This morning, as has been said. Aunt
Belinda did not at first recognize him.
Ordinarily he dressed in garments quite
"'Tala't a llusbun'," Said
simple and ragged, but now he was at
tired In grand style. On his head was
a high, black silk hat, somewhat bat
tered and rusty, with a broad band of
crape around it; he wore a yellow
waistcoat, much too lrage for him, and
a blue coat with tarnished brass but
tons, some of them missing, whloh
was so small for him that he was
obliged to throw out his chest very
much to keep his shoulders back in
order that he might not slit it along
its spinal seam. His trousers were of
brown linen, clean and very much
ptarched, with the bottom of the legs
frayed and worn In such a way that
the starched threads hung over his
well-blackened boots like Icicles over
the mouth of a cavern. His collar was
high and evidently unpleasant to Ills
daws. His large cravat had once been
all crimson, but portions of It had now
faded Into brown, and from the out
side pocket of his coat projected tine
corner of a white silk handkerchief.
As the visitor approached he took off
Ills hat, .but before he could speak
Aunt Belinda sprang to her feet.
"You, Moses Iiipscomb!" she cried.
"Wot you mean, comln' hyar rigged
up like dat? Has you got the Infer
ence to come hyar for de purpos' to
pay 'tentlons to me?"
A broad smile spread over the visage
of the Jolly Moses. "Dat's It, 'zactly,
Aunt B'llnda," said he. "I was kun
Jurln' what to say to begin wld, an'
dar you plumps right In, an' I hain't
trot no trouble at all. I done come
iyarl Aunt B'llnda, to pay 'tentlons to
youse'f wld a view to matermony."
Aunt Belinda sat for a few moments
Pllently gazing at her visitor and then
she broke out: "If ever I see a hedge
hog In a beaver skin, I'sc lookln' at
one now. What you mean, playin' dem
fool tricks on me? Now, you Moses, you
take oft dat coh't, wot b'lnngs to old
Uncle Pete, an' was guv him by his
mah'ster more'n forty years . ago,
nn' wot Uncle Peto rents out fer. ten
cents ter any colored man In dls county
wot wants ter go a-cortln'. Don't yer
pose I kriows dat coh't? Hain't I
mended it more'n twenty times, an'
didn't I sew dat little bit o' w'ite silk
'in de top of de pocket? An' you take
off dftt high-top hat wot yer done bor
rer from Uncle Abe Binder, an' dat
yaller wesh,. wot was ole Kunnel West
erman's, an' wot I done wash nn' Iron
til) de ole kunnel die. Dem breqehos
is yous, an' I 'spects dem shoes an' dat
ar shirt 'an' -neck hank'chef, but you
tnke off all de res' of dem tings 'fore
yer says anudder word."
Without hesitation Moses dlvestpd
himself of hat, coat and waistcoat and
laid them down on the grass by the
path.
"Is dem dar gole cult buttons you'B
asked Aunt Belinda, severely.
"No, dey hain't," said Moses, "dcy's
.Buck Hlmmonses." '
"Take dem off!" said Aunt Belinda.
"Now den," Bhe "continued, when her
orders had been obeyed, . "you looks
like Moses Lipscomb, on'y cleaner,
which ain't no fault. You kin sot
SllH MAM;
wot you's come ter say," and she seated
herself in her chair.
With a grin, Moses sat down on the
grass and embraced his knees with his
arms. "I hain't got nuthln" ter say.
Aunt B'llnda, 'cept wot I said afore. I
done come pay 'tentlons to youse'f wld
a view to matermony."
"Wot yer got ter 'sport a wife wld,
Mose3 Lipscomb?" she asked.
"Hain't got nuthln'," answered
Moses, his white teeth shining like a
rift of light In a cloudy sky. "Bress my
soul, Aunt B'llnda, ef ev'ry colored
man In dis county wait 'til he kin
'sport a wife afore he marry her, whar
all de marryln' be?"
To this Aunt Belinda made no reply,
but sat gazing, not at her suitor, but
over the fields toward the east. Pres
ently she spoke:
"You Moses, you git off dat grass an'
take away dein clothes an' den come
back arter Bupper dls evenln' for yo"
annuel'. Now git along mighty quick.
I hain't got no time to fool wld yer
now."
Moses was well acquainted with
Aunt Belinda's decision of character,
and without making any remonstrances
he gathered up the discarded clothes,
bade her good morning and departed.
Aunt Belinda watched him until he dis
appeared behind a bit of woodland to
the west and then she turned her gaze
toward a field in the opposite direction.
She had seen, before Moses left, another
man approaching through this field.
The newcomer was tall and rather
spare of figure, and advanced with long
strides, which soon brought him to the
house. He was very well dressed, but
not after the fashion of Moses. His
hat was high, but It bore no untimely
crape: his clothes were black, and fitted
him very well; his cravat was white,
and In his hand he carried a cane with
a silver head.
"Mornln', Sister Tinsley," said he; "I
hopes I sees yer well?"
"Mornln', Brudder Aaron," said Aunt
Belinda; "ef yous got time ter stop, sot
youse'f down hyar, and I'll fotch nn
utlder cheer."
He lifted his hand deprecating!)-.
"Never, Sister Tinsley, never you wait
on me. Dat's my part; I waits on you,"
and briskly stepping Inside he brought
out a chair.
The newcomer sat down, put his hat
on the grass and his cane beside It, and
Aunt Belinda, "It's a Keow."
then, leaning slightly forward, clasped
his two long black hands between his
knees. He was many shades darker
than Aunt Belinda, and several years
older. His face was long, and rather
thin. After a few remarks about the
weather and the "craps" he proceeded
to business.
"Sister Tinsley," said he, "I knows
you is a woman wot oil n't got no time
to waste, an' l'se a man wld duties an'
'sponslbllltles. Now, I conies to de
pl'nt wldout no scrapln' an' prancln',
and I comes 4iere, Sister Tinsley, to
ask youse'f to combine wld me In de
wows o' wedlock; In udder words, Sis
ter Tinisley, I asks you to marry me,

"Dat's so," said Aunt Belinda; '"cuse

"Dat's mighty true!" exclaimed Aar

scape, but now he looked squarely at
her, "honestly surprised.
Yes," said Aunt Belinda, "wot I
wunts 4s ia keow, l'se bin a long time
wldout one an' I don' wan" to be wld
out one no longer; so ef I was ever to
git anudder Hiusban' I'd git one as

wan' no huKban'. but ef I callin't git a

Stan's, Brudder Aaron."
With his face a little longer than be
fore Aaron rwsumed his survey of the
landscape.
"Wut kin" o' keow you want3, Slr.tor
Tinsley?" Ml a-skod.
'I don't keer 'bout de kin' nor de

milk. Don' wan'a no scrawny gallon
keow wld no more butter In de milk
dan a bucket o' w'ltewash. Has you
gat a keow, Brudder Aaron?"
Aaron folded his arms, knitted his
brows and turned this glance upon the
ground.
"When you wan's yer keow?" said he.
"Soon's I kin git her," answered Be
linda, "l'se bin a long time wldout one,
an' I wanlts iter have some buttermilk
dis week."
Suddenly a ll&fht flashed Into the
countenance of the contemplative
Aaron ind he looked up.
'Did you ever see my llttl place
over th' udder side of de crik, Sister
Tinsley?" '
The widow tfliook her head.
Aaron looked satlsaed. Well, len,"
said he, "I'ne got some keows dar, two
good keows, one Ald'ney an' one brack
an' wl'te. Calhn't say much for de
Ald'ney: she ain't fresh. Would a funt
I'ate brack an' white koow suit yer,
Sister Tinsley?"
"Dat 'd suit me tip top," answered
Belinda. "Whim kin yer fotch her?"
FoWh her enny time," said he; "de
sooner de better. Fotch her terday."
"AH right, Brudder Aaron," said she,
'you come 'long wld yer keow dis even-
In' 'fore supper; min' dat, 'fore supper,
'caa I wants de milk."
Aflber. a few remarks about his inten
tions and the propriety of the conjugal
plan he proposed, Aaron departed, as
serting that he must lose no time, for
the little iplace he owned was three or
four miles away.
Aunt Belinda smiled to herself when
he left. "De place you owns!" she
said, aloud. "I reckons all de lan' you
owns could be got Inter a flower pot."

LIFE IS II
A Pain-Racked Sufferer Tells an
Interesting Story.
How He Was Tortured for Years
und Finally Cured by
Mini) oil's Remedy.
Charles "Wark, of 14 North Twenty-
fourth street, Philadelphia, has been a
constant sufferer from rheumatism for
years. He was cured by the use of Mun-
yon's Rheumatism Cure. This is ins
story: .
"I was afflicted with rheumatism in
the right shoulder and suffered the
most excruciating agony. Sharp shoot
ing pains darted through It so Intense
I could not sleep nights. Even the
weight of the bedclothes was moro than
I could bear; neither could l lie on tne
right side or on my back. Life became
a perfect burden to me. I could not
raise my hand to my head, and when I
attempted to put on my coat or any
article of dress, the torture was enough
to drive me wild. Many remedies were
suggested and tried, but none did me
the slightest good, and I began to de
spair of ever being able to obtain re
lief. Some time ago, however, I pro
cured a bottle of Munyon's Rheuma
tism Cure. It afforded me relief after
the first few doses, and by the time the
little 25-cent bottle was gone I was
entirely free from pain. I have had no
return of my old enemy, and I feel satis
fled I am permanently cured. It seems
bo wonderful I can hardly realize It,
and can only show my appreciation of
the merits of the cure by recommend
ing It to other sunerers.
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure Is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu
matism cured In from one to Ave days
It never fulls to cure sharp, shooting
pains In the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness In any part of the
body In from one to three hours. It Is
guaranteed to promptly cure lameness,
stiff and swollen joints, stiff back, and
all pains in the hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago or pain
In the back are speedily cured.
Munyon's Homeopathic Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25
cents a bottle.
