TEXAS COt-RTSIlIP.
He sat one side of tho room in a big
white-oak rocking chair. She on tho
other sido in a little while-oak rocking
chair. A long-eared deer hound, snap
ping at flics, was by his side ; a basket
of sewinir by hers. Both rock inces
santly, thai is the young people, not
the dog and banket. He sighs heavily
and looks out the west window at a
crape myrtle tree ; she sighs lightly
and gaies out the cast window at the
turnip patch. At last he remarks :
"This Is mighty good weather to pick
cotton."
"Tis that, if we ouly had any to
pick."
The rocking continues.
"What's your dog's name?"
"Coony."
Another sigh-broken stillness.
"What is he good Air T"
"What is he good furT" said she,
abstractedly.
"Your dog, Coony."
"Fur ketching possums."
Silence of half an hour.
"He looks like a deer dog."
"Who looks like a deer dog ?"
"Coony."
"He is but bo is kinder bellowsed
an gettin' old an' slow now. An' he
ain't no 'count on a cold trail."
In the quiet ten minutes that ensued
she took two Btitches in her quilt ; it
was a gorgeous affair, that quilt was,
made by the pattern called "Rose of
Sharon. She is very particular about
the nomenclature of her qnilts,and fre
quently walks fifteen miles to get a new
pattern, with a "real putty name."
"Your ma raisin' many chicking T"
"Forty odd."
Then more rocking, and, somehow,
after a while, the big rocking chair
and the little rocking chair were jam
med side by aide.
"How many has your ma got T"
"How many what?"
"Chickiugs."
"Nigh on to a hundred."
By this time the chairs are so close
together that rocking is impossible.
"The minks has eat all ours."
Then a long silence reigns. At last
he observes :
"Makin quilts T"
;Yes," she replies, brightening up,
"I've juBt finished a 'Roarin' Eagul of
Brazed,' a 'Sitting Sun' and a 'Na
tion's Pride.' Have you ever saw the
'Yellow Rose of the Parary ?' "
"JSo."
More silence ; then he says :
"Do you love cabbage T"
"I do that."
Presently his hand is accidentally
placed on fiers. She does not know it
at least does not seem to be aware
of it. Then after a half hour spent; in
sighs, coughing and clearing of throats,
he says :
"I'se a great a-mind to bite you." .
"What you great a-roind to bite me
fur?"
"Kase you won't have me."
"Kase you ain't axed me."
"Well, now, I ax you."
"Then, now, I has you."
Then Coony dreams he hears a
sound of kissing.
The next dy the young roan goes
to Tigerville after a marriage licence.
Wednesday tho following week. No
cards.
A Milwaukee paper says of the nir
in its relation to man : "It kisses and
blesses him, but will not obey him."
Blobhs says that that expression suits
his wife exactly.
"I never eot ray hand to writin' po
etry till two years ago," said a young
ruralist, tilting tiack in a grocery chair;
"but the minute I took to coin' with
that Johnson girl, by gosh 1 I couldn't
help it."
It takes 'ten half an hour to get the
big iL.nglisb cannon ready to bre. and
by that time a fellow could dodge,
heel it around the corner, and tuck
himself away in a dry goods box.
