I have now on hand and offer for sale, at greatly reduced prices for the next ninety days, the very best . WAGON. FOR GENERAL USE, Manufactured in the United States made by Mitchell, Lewis & Co., Limited, ' llacine, "Wisconsin. Any person acquainted with the superior points of the Celebrated MITCHELL WAGON, Which I am now scllinsr, will certify to my statement that they are the VERY BEST Farm Wagon made. They are in general use now in nearly every country on the face of the globe, and are adapted to every variety of climate. It is ac knowledged by all to be the best proportioned, best ironed, best finished, and lightest running wagon made. I present a few facts that should be read by every farmer, about the Mitch ell Wagons : 1st. Great care is taken in that grows, which is cnt at the piled under sheds until thoroughly seasoned. 2. The thimble skeins are much heavier than any other skeins in use and are, therefore, less liable to break. 3. The hubs are dodge-mortised, which makes the strongest and most durable wheel that can be constructed. 4. The patent box-couplinif, used only by this Company, prevents the axle. 5. The MITCHELL WAGON stands to-day at the head and front of all competitors, and is -known faT and wide as the strongest and most durable, unequaled in quality and finish, and "monarch" of the road wherever known and used. Don't fail to give me a call, and see the wagon for yourself !

' The g!ad stars shone On her wondrous rharrus, and with tireless " " eyes " ' Tbey stadfed lr form while they studied the skies. The moon o'er the picture her fair face bent, And lingered till the last quarter was spent, But Eve, regardlew of moon or stars, ' Of blushing Venus or staring Mars, Of Zephy r's kisses, Aurora's play, Or the nude desifrn of her polonaise. Alone in her splendor did patiently wait With uplifted poker behind the front gate. But the moon and the stars saw a different siirht. From their lofty arch on that self-same night Doubtfully nearing his own abode. His progress including bulh sides of the . road, . His person bedabbled with dirt aud with dew. With hair in disorder and fig-leaf askew. Behold Father Adam, coming from town. He muttered queer things to objects around And said to the moon so soft aud meek : 'O'long, you was full yourself las' week." And something he ruefully murmured then Still uttered with dread br the sons of men, Was heard by the orbs in the listening dome, ' She'ol gimme the derll when Igethome!" W. W. Pottrr, in tin Bxffnla .Vara. HER LOVER. What a splendid looking fellow I" exclaimed a brilliant, sparkling bru nette, as the door clo6ed after Ber tram Koliind. "Poeitirelj the handsomest man I've seen in P . I've a mind to try and cut you out, little Ruth. If it would not be rather uncousinly, I'd be tempted to set my cap." ' I am sure you would succeed, Jem.; fur in tbe first place Mr. Rol and is not an admirer of mine, that I am aware of; and if he was, alter meeting you, I'm sure I should be soon forgotten." "2so, no, you demure little bird. You are just one of tbose that nestle around and steal into a man's heart so quietly that he knows nothing about it until you have euch sure hold that no one, not even the most beautiful girl in the world, could cut you out I declare you would be a formidable rival. I'm not a bit afraid of these acknowledged belles and beauties ; but preserve me from a sweet, gentle, lovely, womanly lit tle cirl as a rival," Jem. aswered, glancing with a well satisfied ex pression into the opposite mirror. Seldom ever mirror reflected a more beautiful face. Jem Forrester was truly a girl to charm, enchant, bewilder and ren der very miserable the man who might win her. Vain, spoiled, ca pricious and wilful she vag, but no wonderfully beautiful that those who knew her could almost foreiye her faults because she was so fair to look uuon. "RuiheTrlillle coz.7would it hurt you n I won him : ' Jem asked, with an arch look in her dark eye. Ruth s fair face flushed deeply as she answered : . "It would mortify me to see a rel ative of mine trying to attract the admiration of any gentleman." There was a flash lrom the dark eyes and a look that spoke as plain aa words, '1 11 pay you for this, cot lady." . Little Ruth had told the truth when she said that she was not awaie that Bertram Roland was an admirer of hers. But not the whole truth, dear little girl ! She would have been the happiest maid in the world if she could have believed that this handsome, noble man, as she always tisaughtisitu, cared for her. For she had loved him since the first day they met. A few weeks previous, when out walking, she bad slipped on tbe ice and been so se verely hurt she could not stand up. In agony she raised her eyes to meet those of Bertram Roland. "Let me help you," Le said in a tone full of sympathy ; at the same time with that gentle earnest deter mined manner that one cannot re sist. Ruth Morely's hand was plac ed confidingly in bis. And when he had raised and was still support in?; ner he said : "I shall place you as comfortably as possible in the store opposite while I obtain a carriage. Give me your address, please." He was a stranger, and she in a strange city. But she could, she must trust him. A glance into his beautiful earnest, honest eyes was enough, and Ruth said : "Mr. Easton's, No. Sixth street. He is mv uncle; I am visiting there." An expression of agreeable sur prise passed over the young man's face. "I know your uncle, Miss Easton." "My name is Morely," Ruth said; and taking from her pooketbook her card, handed it to him.. And eo be gan their acquaintance. Quite ro mantic enough, ' I'm sure. After Mr. Roland had taken Ruth home it was only polite to call and inquire after her ealthThis he had done half a doie'pT times" , and" I think was getting to think little Ruth Morely the sweetest and most lovable girl he knew, when the beautiful spark ling Jem tame to visit her uncle, tOO.'. ' .':.;:.:.! Poor Ruth, her heart was sorely troubled and she did wish how could she help it? that Jem had just remained home. Still the gen tle, placid face gave no sign of her anxiety.' Jem had "set her cap," it was plain to see. - Few men could resist such beauty and grace. When bright eyes grow brighter at their approach, and rosy oheeks deepen their hue, does it not please them ? It did Bertram Roland. He liked to have folks show their feelings. At times he had been' piqaed that Ruth received him just in the same , way she met Mr. Brownson, her cousin Kate Easton's lover. And when, on ' two or three occasions, he had car ried hf r the sweetest little bouquets of rare flowers, her "Thank you" was so quiet ! Why could she not have said more ? rabed her eyes to his and let him see that she was pleased?" e . He had a mind to see if he coold not win Setter treatment from Jem. Yes, he would, just to see how Ruth would like it, for a while, anyhow. ESTABLISHED 1827. PA.. WEDNESDAY. He bad no doubt, that Jem's heart was given to some lucky fellow long ago. .i Little Ruth was not in the parlor one evening when Mr. Roland came, or I think he might have found it not so easy to pas her by, and give to Jem the beautiful flowers. But, when once done, be was in for it. After that tbe bouquets went where they were appreciated,as he thought . "For me !" Jem exclaimed, her eyes brightening pb she caught the flowers and pressed them close to ber lovely face. - "How beautiful! Thanks ! I love flowers so dearly, and and " her rosy cheeks grew rosier UI like you ever so much for giving them to me. She held them long, finding new beauties continually. "I ought not to keep them in my hands. They will fade. - Yet I can not bear to put them away," she said. And then, after raising her eyes timidly, pleading to his, she said in a low voice : "Take them from me. I can re sign them to you. The flowers were taken, the pret ty little hand retained and clasped warmly, and . Bertram' Roland's thoughts never returned to Ruth again that evening. "Ah 1 here is the girl for me," said Bertram. "And, upon my word, I believe I might win her. I'm sure she is not wholly indiflerent toward me now. Thank heaven, I have in no way committed roysef to that little icicle. Either she has no heart to win, or I am not the roan to find it" Triumphantly Jem held up the flowers next morning, and Katie Eaton said : ' "You would not have gotten them Jem, had Ruth been home." "Perhaps not. The future wiil and must prove that," Jem said, with a saucy toss of her beautiful head. Poor Ruth 1 Her visiou of happi ness was over. She wanted to cet away from P . She was almost sure the sun did not shine as bright ly there, nor was the sky so blue as over ntr own home. Jverytriirig was gloomy. She would have run right away had her uncle not been so loving and Kind, cne did not want to seem uucrateful. Oh ! what a trial it wa3 for her. when Mr. Rol and came, to sit and see his unmis takable admiration of Jem. At length every one grew to look upou hi in as Jems lover. And Ruthey would steal away soon after bis entrance, either to her own room! to shed a few bitter tears, or to the sitting room, tor' try and forget her love lor a while, listening to uncle s merrv jokes, i And Jem did she reallv love the man-she hfnTwtni from her cousin? Yes; as well as she was competent of lovmganybody. Bertram Roland was a man of whose love she might be proud.- Bertram thought himself a very lucky and very happy man. He was almost sure Jem loved him, and he bad fully determined to propose and have their engagement proclaim ed before the gayeties of the season should begin. He dreaded lest some one might discover his beautiful Jem and contest tbe prize with him. Just at this point, perhaps, Ber tram's good angel took charge of him at any rate his love making was in terrupted. A telegram informing him of his mother s extreme illness sent him flying from P as fast as steam and rails could carry him. During his absence of two weeks the gay season began. . In the papers he saw the announcement of Miss For rester's debut. He thought she might have waited his return and wondered that she could enjoy these scenes during his absence.- Contrarv to the expectation of physicians and friends, his mother's disease took a favorable turn. Soon after she was declared out of danger and convalescent. Then Bertram hastened back to his love. The evening of his arrival he went immediately to Mr. Easton's, impa tient to see his Jem. From the ser vants he learned the youDg ladies were all at a brilliant reception. Hurrying to his hotel, he changed bis traveling suit and proceeded to the gay scene, the hostess being an old and valued friend. In th dressing room Beitram met the brother of this lady, a college chum, who after their toilets were comple ted, said : "Now, come, Roland, I want to introduce you to the moe t beautiful girl in the house, although I scarce ly think you'd be able to have the honor of a dance. I'm sure her card is made up. I'd venture a good deal that Delavan is down for every round dance." ' ' "' "Ah, who may the lady be?" ask ed Bertram, a slight feeling of un easiness in his heart "MifS Forrester, the most beauti ful, sparkling gem you ever saw. Come shall I introduce you T - "By and by, perhaps. But how is it with you ? If I remember right ly, you were wont to worship at the shrine of beauty ?" ' i es, , you are right But with growing . years ana experience my ideas Lave changed somewhat 1 worship bow rather the jewel itself tbaa the casket that contains it 1 don't mind telling you, old fellow.

They are just the thing we want for the ball-room, and just very apt to get a brother, lover or husband,may be, into a quiet little game oi pistols for two. No, no : give me a little girl, wboee dear form is only clasp ed by one ; whose hand never linger ed in the hand of any man but the one to whom bet love and her heart are pledged. Win the love of such a woman as little Ruth Morelv, and you'll have it all to yourself. To the man who wins her love thia lit tle icicle, as some call her, ill melt, I know, and will make the truest, most loving wife. - Ah, yes, she is the girl to take to a man's heart and home. But I fear there is no hops for me. ' Perhaps her heart is won already." ' "I've thought so myself," Roland SEPTEMBER 9, ISS5. answered quietly. "Wby.you know her?" .- - -. , ; - ; r ' I've met her several times, But come, it is growing late." , Before entering the dancing saloon Roland stood hid behind the draper ies of a window, and watched Jem. She was in young Delavan 'a aims, borne through a walta, She stood near enough for him to hear her quick breathing as she rested, with . her hand still clasped in her partner's ; to see her look at this acquaintance of a few days as she had looked at him 1 Worse than alL to see her pick from her boquet a flower which was pressed to young Deiavans lips, and then pinned near his heart "Thank heaven 1" he said, "my eyes are opened. This very nigbtif 1 had found her borne, I should haveoll'ertd her iur heart and band." He would have left the scene im mediately had not Kate Easton dis covered him, and said : "Do come help me find Ruih ? I've been hunting a half hour for her." ' j Just then their hostess came up. "lou will find your cousin in my boudoir, Mise fcaeto-.- fehe was faint and I carried her there. She is much better now." Kate hurried off with Bertram Roland to find Ruth looking pale and very weary. 7 After considerable persuasion, she permitted Bertram to take ber borne. The lilttle maneuvering, Katt de clared, she knew was dreadfully sel fish, but she did want to stay a little longer. And so, a second time Ruth was supported by Bertram Roland's strong arm. He felt her trembling and after tbe carriage had started said gently : "You must allow me to take care of you as I should my sister. You are still very weak and cold. I shall wrap you up better. There, now rest against me, little sister !" She would say it No matter what suffering it cost her, it would be so. She might as well get used to it. Cousin " she murmured, scarce above a whisper. "Never." he answered, decidedly, repeat it "Never 1 That is impossi ble !" "Never f" came from Ruth'3 lips, in a tone of mingled surprise andjoy. For ttse fir0t time the thought en tered Bertram Roland's mind tliat he had been mistaken. That, per haps, this gentle, timid little girl did care for him. He was perfectly over Dia bund lniatuation. flis heart was anxious to return to its true love. After a moment's hesita tion he said : "I've not spoken to Miss Forrester this evening." "You are hurt You have heard about Mr. " "No. I'm not a bit hurt, little Ruth. I was rejoiced that Miss For rester was nothing more to me than a pleasant tcquaintance. I had been hurt before I met her that I failed to win from another some little show of regard. Why did you not keep uue to yourself, Ruth ? Had you no heart to give me '?". "I keep you ? How could I ?"' Ruth answered, low. "Oh, you little prude ! I know you nowIt i ouly word for word from you. ..Nvff tell me, have you any love to give one that loved you the very first hour you leaned upon him? Where is your heart, Ruth? I must find it and keep it, too." Then the little icicle melted, and dropping her bead on his breast, she sobbed in joy and whispered : . ''Oh, you nave bad it all the time ! And and and yon almost brake it when you were loving Jem." "No, no; you must not use that word in connection with ber. I lone to see your eyes, my little Ruth, to find what I ve looked for so oiten. When they were home, and Ruth seated on the sofa,theshy eyes look ed up, and Bertram found ail he wanted there love, deep, pure and true. The next morning Jem, having heard of Mr. Roland arrival, made a very careful toilet and awaited his coming. She expected a stormy scene with a jealous lover, ending with their enprfremetit.--She heard the door bell ring. The servant brought up his card to Ruth. To Jem's immense surprise, this happy little girl received it as a mat ter of course, and went into the par lor to see him. An hour after, when she came back, ber cheeks were a little flushed, and in her eyes was a light that almost rivaled a brilliant gem that sparkled in a ring on her forefinger. Then the truth was plain, and Miss Forrester knew she had failed to win Ruth's lover. Don't bUtne her for saying a little spiteful ly: "It was lucky for you, Ruth, that Mr. Delavan was in every way a man more to my mind than Mr. Roland." Ruth was too Jiappy to are for thatv,anj only hopeu that it ( might be so. ; '' Uow to Urine Good Time. . ,:il ii i J .

"Elizabeth Martin," she respon ded quietly. "Y'our occupation?" "Teaching school." "How old are you?" he next in quired, with a sidelong glance at the crowd. "Old enough to know that it's none of your business," she answer ed, as gently as the ring dove coos. "Objection sustained I" remarked the Court The lawyer's face fell,but he brac ed up and went on, without a smile. "Do you know the nature of an oath ?" fie asked spitefully. Oh, yes.

The Court looked at the lawyer, the lawyer looked at the ceiling, and the witness looked at ease. "Confine the answer to the case, if yon please,?' said the lawyer. "Now will you tell the court if vou know the plaintiff ?"' "Yes, sir, i know her." "What do you know of her?" "More good than I do of a lawyer." "That's not what I want to know." "I presume notir," continued the witness sottly. "I want to know," shouted the now exasperated questioner,bringing his fist down on the table, "if you know anything about tbe case be fore Court," "More than you do, possibly." "Well, tell it to the Court and have done with it" . "Thanks. I know, your honor,that Joseph Hill the defendant, asked Mary Jackson the plaintiff, if she would be his wife. It was done in my presence." "Indeed ! Isn't that rather an un usual way of popping the question?" "I don't know, sir. I have had no experience. I happened to be, present because I came into the room unexpectedly and found the plaintiff sitting in the defendant's lap, and he to show me that she had a right to save the furniture in that way, asked her again to be his wife, as Le had already done a week earlier." "By the way. Miss Martin, how much does the plaintiff weigh ?" "One hundred and forty pounds sir." "How do ycu know so exactly?" "By tbe weight of coor?e," she smiled and the lawyer went off on another track. "Did you think the defendant was telling you the truth ?" "Oh, ves ; you know he is not a lawver." "The witness will confine herself to the facts," interrupted the Court. " cry well, your Honor. I shall pay no more attention to the state ments of the attorney." "That will do," said the provoked lawyer. "The witness may now stand down." May it please the Court.n she re plied, "the witness would like to sit down." The Sheriff will please provide the witness with a chair," said the Court "She seems to have sat down on everything else in theconrt-room, and the Court sees no good reason why a chair should be exempt" Ihe witness smiled placidlv and took the chair to await another call to the stand."

The Origin of Opium. According to the Bengal legend, there once lived on the banks of the holy river linnga a nshi, or sage j in whose hut, made of palm leaves j was a moue, which became a fayor j ite with tho seer and was endowed by him with the power of speech, After a while the mouse, having been frightened by a cat at its ear nest solicitation was changed by the rishi into a cat ; then, alarmed by. dogs, into a dog ; then iuto an ape, then into a rwr, then into an ele phant, and liiiitlly, being still dis contented with its lot, into a beauti ful maiden, to whom the sage gave the name of "Postomani," or the "pop py -seed-lady." Ooe day, while tending her plants, the King approached the rmhi s cot tige, and was invited to rest and re fresh himself by Postomani, who offered him some delicious fruit The King, however, struck by her great beauty, refused to eat until she had told him her parentage. Postomani, to deceive the King, told him she was a Princess whom the rishi had found in the woods and brought up. The upshot was that the King made love to the girl, and' they were married by the holy-eage. She was treated as the favorite Queen, and was very happy ; but one day. while standing by a well, she turned giddy and fell into the water and died. The rishi then appear ed before the King and begged him not to give way to consuming grief, assuring him that the late Queen was not of royal blood. Said he : "She was a mouse, and according to her own wish I chang ed hr successively into a cat a dog, an ape, a bear, an elephant and a lovely girl. Let her body remain in the well; fill up the well with earth. Out of her flesh and bones will grow a tree which 6hall be call ed after her, 'Poso,' that is, the 'pop py tree.' From this tree will be ob tained a drug called 'opium,' which will be either swallowed or smoked until the end ot time. Th opium swallower or smoker will have one quality of each ot the animals to which Postomani was transferred. He wi.'l be mischievous like a mouse, fond of milk like a cat, or quarrel some like a dog, filthv hkf an ape, savage like a bear and high-temptr ed like a queen." The Fire Kino;. When Captain Paul Boynton left the water at Ok Point last evening the large crowd present saw him ad vance toward an object that looked like his counterpart, except that it was white, in contrast to his own suit. The object was Capt. Charles N. Ahlstrom, the "Fire King." At one place in the grounds were a has tily constructed house and tent The house had a canvajs roof, contained four cords of wood and some furni ture and was saturated with twenty gallons of petroleum. The ter.t con tained a large tank of water, a force pump and two air pumps. Hose were attached to these at one end, and to Captain Ahlstrom at the oth er. As soon as the pumps were put in operation the house was set on fire and jets of water seemed to en velop the "Fire King" in a minia ture cataract A strong south wind was blowing.which caused the flames to develop with great intensity and drove the crowds back. Ahlstrom stepped through the door and was lest in a mass of flame. He remain ed perhaps a minute and then re turned and examined the hose. Af teradjuatiDg this properly he return ed into the dwelling and brought out burning tables, embers and oth er objects amid the plaudits of the crowd. "My suit is much like a diving bell." be explained to a Trilune re porter. "It consists of a double cov ering of the body in two parts, one for the upper and one for the lower limbs. The inside or lining is of india rubber, air and water tight; the out'ide of canvas and mole skin. A brass plate covers the face with two openings for the eyes which may be closed. The air is supplied by bellows through hose at tached to the dress. The inner suit being airtight, the air escapes at the eye-holes, blowing away the fire and smoke so that I can see clearly. The entire dress is kept drenched with water through another rubber tube from a hydrant or fire engine. The water enters right at the top of the head-dress and is distributed through channels in the upper part of the jacket. I am thus kept cool and my dress made fire-proof. Aaaamted In the t-olpit. York, Aug. 31. A decided sensa tion was created in V'interstown,this county, yesterday, by, J. II. P. Ful ton, a well known resident of tbe village. Rev. J. F. Schultz, of Shrewsbury, pastor of the circuit embracing Winterstown Evangeli cal Church, some time ago announ ced that yesterday be would preach a Grant memorial sermon. Fulton gave notice that such sermon should not be preached in that church. But little attention was paid to his threat, and on Sunday Rev. Mr. Schultz announced his text and proceeded with his serman enum erating great men of ancient and modern times. Fulton sat quietly until General Grant's name was mentioned, when he sprang to his feet, brand ished his arm and cried to tbe minister, "Stop that !" The preacher continued his discourse and Fulton advanced up the aisle. Great con fusion prevailed, which reached a crisis when tbe angry member sprang in tbe pulpit and violently assaulted the minister, knocking him down. A rush was made by the congregation to defend the pas tor, and in the melee one man re- reii-erl n lilnsr frnm Fnltnn'j fiat nrl another had his clothing badly torn.

Ilntnillatrd Cowboys There have been a grat many stories told of the reckleso daring and abandon of the cowboy. Hew aa American production, and at the sound of the word cowboy the mind revert to some Western locality where law and order are unknown, and are supplied by a rude set of ivnvi ntionalities.the iiju-obatrv.'.uoe of which means violence wi.hout process of trial. The typical cow boy must be fearleso, ready to shoot at a moment's warning, wild in his make-up and language, and ready to perpetrate a joke on a "tender foot" at any time. But there is often considerable bragadocio in the cowboy, ami a good illustration of this fact was told a intiiwl reporter by a station agent, who had lived in the West for mauy years and had been in the employ "of various railroads in lo calities where cowboys were numer ous. "I have seen a good many daring deeds performed and course jokes perpetrated by cowboys," said the agent hut I will tell you of a little incident where tbe wind was taken out of three cowboys by a determin ed, fearless "tenderfoot" It hap pened last spring. I was then sta tion agent and telegraph operator for the Northern Paciac Railroad Company at a place near tbe Mon tana line. . It was not much ot a place,as it consisted of only a depot, a house or two, and a saloon. "One morning a traveling man ar rived at the depot by stage from up north somewhere. He was below medium height and rather slight,but was very neatly dressed and wore a silk hat He was traveling for a New York jewelry house. He was about an hour early for the train east, and he opened his grip on the platform, took out a brush, and dusted his clothing and shoes. He then drew out an old newspaper, leaned up against the side of the de pot with one foot projecting in front of the other, and began reading. "Meanwhile, however, three cow boys bad sauntered up to the depot They all eyed him closely and watched hi3 operations. When he began reading they huddled togeth er and talked awhile in an under tone. Presently one of them a big six-footer left the group, and began to saunter carelessly about the plat form with his head in the air in specting the posters on the building and cornices. V hen he got around where the traveling man stood, he lifted his brogan and planted it firmly on the jewelry man's foot. No apology was made. The travel ing man merely looked up, drew his foot back a mom ent, then placed it back where it was. The cowboy passed back to the other two. They all chuckled and joined in the low-toned conversation. "Soon the cowboy started out again on a similar round, gaping at the roof. When he reached the trav eling man he tried to bring down his coarse boot on the extended foot The traveling man jerked his foot back suddenly, and the brogan came down with . thump on the platform. Another conference and chuckling followed. Finally the cow boy set out on the third round. Just as be was about to raise his foot to plant it on that of the traveling man, the latter looked up quickly and said : "See here, this is mv foot, and it's tfoiag to 6tay there. You step on it ifyouwantto, but' i want to tell you that before you can get off of it I will kill you." "Such a volley stagrrered the cow boy. He looked at the foot and thn at the small possessor, and finally moved crF without sii'poing on it. Another consultation followed. The traveling man calmly read his paper a few minutes, and then took from his satchel three apples. He looked at them a moment and suddenly threw them into the air, and then quickly drew a revolver, fired three shots, splitting each ap ple into a dozen pieces before they reached the ground. He replaced the cartridges in the empty cham bers of the revolver, and returned it to his pocket "The cowboys witnessed the act with out saying a word, ami soon, completely cowed, turned and left the depot The traveling man told ue after they bad left that he would have killed the three of them had the fellow stepped on his foot again, and I think he would, as- he spoke quick as lightning. He then showed me a medal be carried, which he won as being the most rapid and one of the best shots in New York. The story simply illustrates that there is sometimes a great deal of " fictitious valor and daring about a cowboy." The Great Majority. "No, it isn't the tramps I com plain of," said a Wayne county farmer, as be called for ginger ale ! yesterday. "I can drive a tramp off by simply bringing out my shotgun, but with this other class it is differ ent" "What class?" "Why, these busted theatrical people who are hoofing it back to Detroit They come along at all hours of the day and night, and in all sorts of shapes. When a fellow turns into your gate and announces that he is Damon, and that Pythias is in a fence corner half a mile back, too far gone to foot another rod, and he backs this up by quoting Shakes peare and giving vou the route of his company for four weeks, why, you've got to do something." "Of course." "Romeo came along the other day and roused me up, and I went out to find Juliet' sitting on the grass under a pear tree, renting after a walk of twenty-two miles. .They had to hive something to stay their stomachs and put new life into em, and I thought they'd eat me out of house and home. I've bad leading men, leading ladies, villians, lovers, chambermaid, and property men walk in on me singljand by droves, and I wish the season was over. Curious how they all tell the same story." "What is it?" "Why, they had the boss play and the keenest manager. Everything was calculated right down to a ceDt, company was the best on the road, and there couldn't be no such thing as failure. But there was. Treasurer skipped with the funds weather too hot too many roller rinks alius some good reason for bustin' up. Poor critters? Whenever I am woke P bj ice calling out : 'Me lord, a stranger begs a glass of buttermilk of thee,' I git into my clothes and go down, feeling as if all the cold meat in the house like wise belonged to him."
