Have yon evea heard of the sugar Plum treef Tls a marvel of great renown ; It grows on the shores of the Lollypop sea. In the garden of Shut-Eye town. The fruit of the tree Is so wondrously sweet. As those who have tasted It say. That good little children have only to eat Of the fruit to be happy next day. When yon get to the tree you would have a hard time To gather the fruit which I sing ; For the tree is so high Uiat no person can c'Jmb To the boughs where the sugar-plums cling. But up In the tree lives a chocolate cat, Aud a giugcrbrmd dog prowls below ; And this Is the wny you contrive to get at Those sugarplums tempting yon au. Yon say but the word to the gingerbread dog, Aud he barks with such terrible xest That the chocolate cat goes covortlng around From this leafy limb into Uiat, And the sugarplums tumble, of course, tithe ground. Hurrah for the chocolate cat! There are inarshmallows, gunidrops aud pep perm lnt canes. With striplings of srarlet and gold. And you gather as much of the shower tliat as much as your apron can hold. So come, little child, snuggle closer to me. In your dalnly white nightcap aud gown ; And Fll rock you away to the Lollypopsea, In the garden of 8h.ut-F.ye town. Eugene Field. HER C0XFESSI0X. Long after the speaker's words bad died away the listening people waited in hushed expectancy, unwilling to be lieve that he had finished and unable to descend all at once from the heights to whieh they had been raised. Juhn Ordway and his wife came front tbe chapel among the last, llotu. had been strongly moved by the even ing's sermon, but iu different ways, in dicative perhajis of their wide differing temperaments.' Ordway helped his wife into the wagon, the horses strucK into a bwih trot, aud the driver leaned forward to draw the rug more closely about his companion, peering up into her uce solicitously. They ruoved swiftly past the scatter ed houses of the village aud out into a stretch of opeu country. Three or four times the woman raised her head as though about to apeak, but checked herself with an elforL . "I have something to tell you, John," she said at last. "I I am afraid I ought to have told you long ago." "Are you sure you ought?" he asked gently. "Maybe there ain't any need of it." "There is a need," she answered. "I have kuown all along that it would be better to speak out, but somehow I never felt that I could until to-night" She paused as though to gather cour age. "It's about myself and Willis," she said. "You remember " Ordway bent forward suddenly with a waruiug shout to the horses and the wagon jolted heavily in a deep rut- "That's me all over," he said, with a chuckle. "I took special notice of that hole so as to skip it on the way home, aud here I'm driving right into It again, like au old fool. That's what comes of listening to sermons you can't quite understand." "Won't you listen to me John?" his wife asked pleadingly. "Of course I will," he answer, "only my nerves oein' so wrougui up i m sort of afraid to have any big shock come on me sudden." Ordway put his arm around her and drew h.T closer to him protectiugly, as a mother soothes a nervous, sleepy child. "I wasn't jokin" he said. "I'm always glad to listen to you, only I think you'd best wait till we get home. We are most there now." "Go In by the Ore," said John Ord way, when at length they rattled into the farmyard. "It'll take me some time to fix things up." But when he camo from the stable, he found her waiting, leaning against one of the square ptsU of the porch aud looking out across the darkness of the valley. "I wanted to wait until we could go in together," she said. The long, low kitchen was full of changingshadows which danced across the time polished floor, and lost them selves in the corners of the ceiling, when Ordway crossed to the huge fire place aud piled some sticks of soft wood on the glowing ashes. At length she spoke slowly and with evident effort at calmness. "You must try to be patient with me," site said. "You will be astonish ed, I know, and I am afraid you II be angry and I couldu't blame you but II waut you to wait till I have finished." She hesitated a? If to gain strength, and he marked how the slender figure quivered with the effort of her hurried breathing. "I had promised to marry Willis be fore I knew you," she said, unsteadily. "We quarreled about some little thing, and each was too proud to speak first. Finally he went away without seeing me. lou anow now we uearu mat u died iu Africa. I believed it we all did aud I cried myself to sleep night after night because I hadn't acted dif ferently. "As time went on 1 began to forget. little by little, and after a while It all seemed like a sort of dream. "Then you came into my life and taught me to trust you and turn to you for help in everything. And, in truth. I loved you more thau you could ever understand." Her voice trembled. "You believe me, John?" she asked. "Say that you do believe me." "I ain't never doubted," he answer ed softly. "I was happy and contented for two iong-ear. It was like heaven, and you were happy, too, John?" "Happy r be said. "Ah, yes! body'll ever know how happy." No- "And then little Dora was born," she went on, "and somehow all our trouble began right there, for It seem' ed as if her baby bauds took hold of our hearts and pushed them apart, a littlest first and then more and more, "Well, things got worse aud worse, and when she died I almost believed you were to blame in some way I don't know how. Oh, It's awful tt think about, but I couldn't help feel- set ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1897. ing that way? Will you ever forgive me for it, John?" "I never laid it up agitlnst you," he answered. "I reckoned it was natural, and I knew you wasn't well, so I tried to forget all about that art of our life, and I've done it almost." "The rest of my story is harder to tell aud harder to listen to. You re member that Willis came back and hunted us up. He came at the worst time for all of us. I was set against you and half wild about baby's death aud reckless to every tiling. "He found that out and kept pleading with me and urging me to go away with him. I ought to have sent him away, but I didn't. It was as though some evil spirit put the words into his mouth and I listened God help me, I listened. She started to her feet and stood fac ing her husband, her anus raised to her head iu a wild gesture. "It was no fault ol mine that I did not sin against you in deed as I did In thoughtl" she cried. "If it had not been for some accident I don't even know what it wat I should not have been here now. I went to meet him one night. We were to drive to Oak ley and take the train for some place, I waited I don't know how many hours, but he didn't come. At last I crept home and found you asleep. "In the morning while you were away a letter came saying an tinforseen accident had happened, and he would let me know about it soon. I never heard from him again." She paused and looked at him fear fully as though expecting a violent out burst of anger, but he said nothing, and at last she spoke again. "Won't you "peak to me?" she cried, tremulously. "Haven't you been list ening? Have I done wrong to tell you? Sjieak to me, for (rod's sake! I can't bear it." The words were lost in a storm of sobbing, and she threw herself down on her knees beside him, hiding ber face with ber hands on the arm of the old fashioned chair. "Don't take ou so, Euuie," he said, gently. "You'll be glad all the rest of your life, I think, on account of jest what you are crying about now. Look up, my dear, and may be I can finish the story for you. You say you never knew why he didn't come that uight? I could a-told you why. "You?" she cried. . "Yes," he answered. "Jest me. He staid away because I told hiiu he'd better, and he knowed I meaut what I said. Did you think I was so blind all them months that I didn't see what was happeuin'? I'd a knowed it if I had been miles away, for there ain't never any trouble in your heart but what I don't feel it. I jest stepped in an' talked to Al'illis. He understood, an' that settled It." "Then you've known?" she inter rupted breathlessly. "You've kuown all this time?" He nodded cheerfully. "All this time," he answered. "Hut you never said a word to me you never acted as though " "It's always harder for me to talk than to keep still, he said, slowly. 'Surely you've found that out long ago. 1 could not a-said a word with out makin' things worse, most likely, so I thought the best thing to do was to jest wait an' I've been waitiu'. " "Wafting!" she repeated. "Waiting for what?" "For what's happened, Eunie," he said, softly. The woman was clinging to his arm and weeping convulsively. " 'Twasu't your fault, little girl," he said. "It's jest happened that way. rhere ain't no need to cry about it now. The lime lor cryin s au goue past, an' I don't think it'll come ain." Loudon Mail. A Patent Office Incident The patent oHloe otllcial bowed po litely from his place at his desk as the visitor in clothes of clerical cut and a smooth face greeted him with a sub dued "Good morning, sir." 'Good morning," responded the otll cial, with a cheerful $l 0aiuonth man ner. "Is there anything we can do for you this morning?" "I don't know really, sir," crooned the caller softly. "To know if you can is the object of my visit this uioruing. sir." "Very well, state your case, and if we can do anything for you, you may rest assured it will be done." The visitor cleared his throat pretty- much as if he were going to deliver u. sermon. "I think," he said, slow ly and with hesitation, "if I mistake not, that I . . i. sawa statement in some one 01 ttie juu- lic prints to the effect that this office would not issue a patent on Sunday. Is that true, sir?" "(Juite true. It does not" "Why is that, sir, if I may ask?" "It is against the rules of the office is all I know." "Will it issue one on any other day of the seven, sir?" "Certainly it wilL That U what it is here for." "Oh, thank you; how nice, twitter ed the visitor, taking a large madras handkerchief from his coat tail pocket shaking it out and wiping his brow with it "That being the case, if you will be kind enough to let me have one on Tuesday, sir, you will do me a great personal favor. You see, sir, Tuesday is my birthday, aud I want a patent on it so no one can use it for birthday pur poses, sir, except myself." Washing ton Star.

When tbe boundary line between Tennessee and Georgia was established it passed half a mile south of the spring Tuck-a-lee-chee-chee, among the foot hills of the L'nikas, and, as it crossed one of the principal Indian trails, it became a place of much importance. There had already grown up a strong rivalry between the Tennessee tribes, headed by Chief Itoss, and the Georgia tribes, headed by Major Kidge, both half-breeds, and men of extraordinary ability as leaders. The establishment of a new boundary line fixed the limits of their respective territories, and, to try and harmonize, so far as possible, the contending factious, the Govern ment established a trading pont there. John Howard Payne appeared uon the scene, and was accused of inciting the Indians to insubordination. He was placed uadur arrest as au incendiary aud carried to the council house. While Payne was held there, one of the first bands arrived, and among the Indians was the chief, Oo-chee, or I tat tling Guard, a broken-hearted man. He was moody and abstracted, and re fused all invitations to the council house and would partake of no festive enjoyments whatever, but spent the most of his time at the graves of his wife aud child, farther up the valley. One morning he was missed. Welter ing iu his own blood, bis body was found between the little mounds that covered his squaw aud papoowe. In some way he bad secreted a bayonet, fell upon the point of it, and died on the spot where he had often expressed a desire to be laid for his last long sleep. A grave was dug on the spot where he lay, and the chief was buried by the soldiers, one of the Moravian mission aries olliciating. After the services were over, John Howard Payne, who had been a silent witness of the pathetic ?cene, began singing sollly to himself the song which has since been echoed through every laud on the earth. Gen. iishop, who had kept a close scrutiny on his actions, beard the song and call ed Payne to him. 'Young man," said the stern old In dian fighter, "where did you learu that song?" I wrote that song myself," replied Payne. "And where did you get that tune?" "I composed that also." "Would you let me have a copy of ?" "Certainly, I will." "Well, a man who can sing aud write ike thai is no incendiary. Appear- anoes may be against you, but I am go ing to set you free. I shall write out our discharge immediately, aud pass you anywhere you choose through the nation." Payne had been housed at the home of a family living near by, and on his return there he exhibited his pass and related the circumstances. That was the first time that "Home, Sweet Home" had ever been sung iu public Atlanta Constitution. A Katter of Spelling. It Is one of the curious facts that many or the brightest writers "pelt atrociously. That iu itself goes a loug way iu the practical demonstration that illiteracy does uot connect itself with the art of spelliug. An excellent article that recently passed through editorship in this oiliee contained tti-i words;"vilIiage," "Chineese," "prarie" parallel!," "falure," "Portuguese" au-1 'loose" for" lose." It was an admirable paper of choice literary quality and yet had it beeu printed as it was written the proofreader would have been open to summary discharge for obvious and hopeless incompetence. That humble miu'ister would have beeu declared too illiterate to read proof. Going backward one step, th copy reatler that let such manuscript pass without alteration would also U opeu to discharge. Why? For illitera cy. Aud yet the literary quality of th illiterately written article was fiue and evident People are very sensitive about their looks and their spelling. Next in gravity to the charge of being homely is the charge of being unable to spt.-ll. That sceim to carry with it & sort of prjof that bad spelling is dis creditable, AuJ yet the people whom th-j charge m-st hurts are those of whom it is truest To be able to write without being able t spell is like beitig able t ) run without being able to walk.

But if he has a boy, it is dif ferent He is turned loose at a tender age to go to the devil, and then people wonder where that great army of tramps, bums, deadbeats, loafers, gamblers and drunkards come from each decade.

When Wyomiug Bill entered a rts- taurant at Ellsworth one evening with IC a gun in his hand and announced that i he hankered for blood, there was a nervous movement among the dozen or fifteen men seated at the tables, but all continued eating and refrained from looking up. After a survey of the place Bill walk ed over to a man who was jut about to begin his meal, and squaring otf in front of him he said: "Stranger, ye 'a?ar to lie the critter I'm after. Ar ye heeled?" . "No; I have no gun." "Then that's bad for ye. I'll gin ye one niinit, to suy yer prayers!' "I hain't got any to say," calmly re pled the nian, but mebbeye'll do me a favor?" "Mebbe I will." "The price of this supper is $10, cash in advance. I bev paid for it, aud it took my last shilliu'. Ion't do any shootiu' till I've cleared the table." "How long will it take ye?" "Not over twenty miuits, then ye kin shiajt and be hanged to ye, as I'm a broke man and had belter be dettd than liviu'." "I'm howliu' for gore, but I'll gin ye twenty miuits anyhow," replied Bill, and he sat down to wait. He had beeu driuking heavily, aud at 'lie eud of ten miuutes was sound aeleep. The stranger finished his meal, rose up and brushed oil' the crumbs, aud then looking at the leett-r aud around on the half dozen men left he said: That's jest my luck!

A remarkable fart, developed at this year's gatheriug of the t irand Army of the lU-public, at Louisville, Ls that a great iiierease iu membership over last year Ls shown. The organization, oue might almost say is renewing its youth The current ollicial report, if we do no mistake its figures, shows the enormous gain of t'5,0ri) memlers in good stand ing during the year, or owr eleven per cent And this gain, too, has beeu secured with the large loss by death of 7,3iS; for losses from this souree be come very heavy as the years go on. Several years ago even the Graud Army itself accepted the idea that it had come to its climax. The statistical oflicer in K- noted that "practically it may be said that the membership of the Grand Army Ls now at its highest point It no doubt will remain about the above numoer for a few years t come, when necessarily it must de crease, aud the decrease will be rapid." At that time the number of members iu good standing, reckoned at the be ginuiug of li.2, was 4)r,7Sl, and siuce that time the prediction has justified Usself by sibreessive fallings oil iu the number. The the following year, for example, there was a fall otfofi,0:K) names. Bat now a remarkable turu iu the tide is observed, aud a total of 414,- Z'J-i members is noted, which is a very heavy gain. There are still many I'uion survivors of the war who do not belong to the Grand Army, and these continue to atforda recruiting ground for it Perhaps extra efforts have b.-en made during the lo?t year to secure them. Of course, sooner or later, even with such exertions, the ebb must come; but meanwhile the unexpected influx, with its siiins of reuewed aud vigorous vitality, makes congratulation to the famous society of veterans in order. N. Y. Suu. First Locomotive Whistles. We are accustomed to regard the whistle as a very important part of the locomotive eugiue, but within the mem ory of some of the older engineers the bell gave the only warning of the ap proach of a train. The first w histles were iu tended as a warning in more ways thau oue. In the early days of the railrtwds the trains were much in terrupted by cattle, sheep and pigs on the right of way, and In order to fright en them otf a small hole was tnred in front of the eugiue boiler and fitted w ith a tube. When the train came rattling along aud the engineer saw a cow on the track, he opened this hole and out spurted the steam aud hot wa ter with a tremendous cracking and hissing, filling the air with a cloud of mist Presently some ingenious work man fitted up a reed and drove it into the steam hole and the screeching and whistling that It made not only fright ened the cows hut terrified every one who lived along the road, but it did its work so well that the whistle was fin ally removed from the front of the eu giue and placed ou top, where it Ls ued to-day.

The liest varieties of wheat and corn re those that have been selected by farmers who went into the fields for that purpose. One former found a stool of wheat in his field of atout straw and large beads which were well filled witn plump grains. He very carefully picked over the seed, di-car ling all In ferior grains. For several season he would not plant seed that had not been pkkl over by hani. It may have been tedious work, but h increased his yield ten bushels per acr compar ed with former years. The large corn yields, which took prize offered and which exceeded 100 bushels per acre, were due to tbe careful selection of seed, all Imperfect grains being taken out. Any farmer Can do likewise, and can, by looking over his seed during the winter, incre .se his crop the follow ing season when such seed is used. Success depends largely on the seed, yet farmers luy seed every year of which they know nothing. The method is to plant tbe selected eed iu a row to iLv lf and cultivate with a wheel hoe, so as to afford the plants every opportunity for grow th. Burning over the straw berry bed is work which some will not perform for fear of injuring the plants. A grower who desired to test the method piled straw in the spui-e of a few of the plants to the depth of six inches. The foliage of the plants that were burned over was of better color the next "season and much heavier than on tbone not so treated. Work that does not pay in the fall may bring good results in the cpriiig. Every fence corner, or other harboring place for weeds, should be cleaned out Every weed means perhaps a thou-saud seeds, aud hundreds of weeds may grow therefrom in spring. The seeds of some weeds are light and cau be carried to every portion of the farm by winds. To avoid work in spring that is unprofitable clear every weed ofT the farm now, and as soon as it can be done, as every day's delay gives the seed an opio:tuuity to mature. Take two cows and give one a warm stall, w ith clean la-dding, allowing the other a stall in w hich there is a crack in the wall, which lets the wind come through. The cow that Ls cotufortai-lc-and warm will give more milk than the other, because she lias warmth iu her favor. Every season the formers receive so licitations or temptations to purchase seeds or plants of some uew variety, and yet if they will read the circulars aud descriptions, as well as the claims, in favor of the new varieties of the past they will find wonderful claims in favor of some that are barely recogniz ed now. This is because something better comes every season (though some new varieties are worthless ;: but the production and quality of all kind of fruit have been improved by the in troduction every year of uew candi dates for favor. No farmer or fruit grower should accept the claims in favor of a new tree or viue, but should tet it himself by procuring only one or two for that purpose. Wheat stubble and refuse may lie the harboriug places of chinch Isugs and other enemirs. As soon 'as it can be done rake up all refuse and fire the pile. The fall of the year Ls a goixl time to light the euemies that do the most damage iu spriug and summer. A man or an auimal can endure any amount of ventilation during the day, 'out when night comes the auimal, like .an, delights in a warm and soft bed, free from cold draughts of air. Hie cold draughts in the stable fre- tueutly come aloug the floor, chilling Llie animal when it Ls at rest This fact should teach the farmer that he will make uo ml-take in Using plenty of dry bedding, aud it should be thick and loose, th-is preventing draughts from below and assisting to retain the animal heat. To prevent disease spreading in an orchard dig up every tree that shows signs of being affected, and then use spraying solutions on the others. In the fall it will be found beneficial t- use air-slaked lime freely en the ground b th for trees and vines.
