"There ain't a far

"Oh I" said Nancy.

I was sayin'. Bight up to the mark.
Ther' ain't no gittin' ahead of him. I
do s'pose, now, he's made more money
outen his farm than any other man in
Park County."
"Hnmph I" said Nancy.
Peter sat and looked at her, nncon-
scfoosly winking his dull eyes as shs
washed and wiped the old India China
dishes with a rapidity and skill which
inspired him with involnntary respect.
"Jest what I was sayin'," he after
ward remarked. "Ezackly like chain
lightnin'. Never see any one work so
faat in my life. Fairly made me
dizzy I"
"Well, Kan, there ain't no snch
hurry, said xarmer Hale, coming
complacently in from the adjoining
room, where he had been interviewing
a carpenter on the subject of an addi
tion to his barn. ' 'Can't you afford to
set down a spell?"
Nancy Hale a feminine copy of her
tall, resolute-faced brother shook her
head
"There's always hnrry," said she,
"till the works done I"
"Jest what I was a-savin," said
Peter, rubbing his horny hands and
secretly calculating on the chances of
his being asked to stay to dinner.
"Far I smelt chicken fricassee," he
reported, "an I'm dretful partial to
fowl meat."
Jnst then Nancy whirled around and
looked her brother full in the face.
"Ain't there no dreens to carry this
dish-water away ?" said she.
Mr. Hale shook his head.
"We generally ponr it ronnd the
roots of the grapevines and plum
trees," said he. "It's called very fer
tilizin'." "Jest as I alius say," put in Peter.
"Better'n bone-dust."
Nancy took the shining tin kettle in
her hand.
"Where's the water faucet?" asked
she.
"Ain't none nearer than the well,"
said her brother, a little uneasily.
"Come now, Nan, you're completely
sp'iled, livin' in them city flats. "
Miss Hale tittered a sniff.
' "And I hope yon won't pnt no non

farmer.

said Nancy. "Why, Elnathan, your

contesting parties.
"Onr mother didn't want none o'

"3he wanted 'em, I gue.s," said
Kancy, "but she didn't get 'em. She
worked herself to death and died afor

"I guess we ain't no better'n oui

"We ought to be wiser, at an;

lidful of tea Into the shining britannii
teapot.
"Well, I hain't no time to stand here

acerbity.
Jest what I was a-sayin myself,
remarked Peter, slowly rising. "I'l
go down 's fur's the bars with you.
Squire Hale. It's my way."
The carpenter came back for a two
foot rule he had left just as the headi
of the two men dipped down under tht
lope of the hill.
( Miss Nancy Hale eyed him severely.
"So they're going on to build an ad
dition to the barn?" said she.
"ITes, mom," responded the car
penter, returning her glance with tie
respect due to a woman who was re
orted to have "money out at inter
Mt." "That means more hay room anc1
nore cows, don't it?"
"I expect likely, mom.
"And more work for the women?"
"Tes, mom, thar ain't no doubt o
chat."
"Do they hev to go fur for water for
the stock?" incidentally qnestioned
Hits Nancy.
"No, mom," said the carpenter.
"It's bmng right into the yard in
pipes from the spring on Adder HilL"
"Save lots o' trouble," paid Nancy.
"Yes, mom. And everything is car
ried off same way. The barn's neat aa
sry parlor. Squire, he's figured
flings down pretty nice."
"Humph !" snorted Miss Nancy. 1
She lifted np the lid of the kettle,
and the last Jonas Nailhead saw of her
faoe it was surrounded, aureole fash

"She's a smart un," said Jonas Nail

Mr. Hale was full of his now build

Nancy was brusque and cart as usual
Jenny was quite silent, sitting there
like a droopinc flower.
"Ion mast hurry and braiie up,
Jenny, said the farmer. "There am

Jenny looked np quickly.

It was late in the evening when Mr.
Hale was returning from the village
by a short cut across the churchyard.
The sky glowed a soft opal tint ; the
fire flies glistened here and there, and
the two stiff, white tombstones that

he paused. Jenny's words came back
to him :
"Mother died young. And Grand
mother Hale "
Yes, it was quite true. His wife
had been scarcely more than a girl
when they carried her across the farm
house threshold. And he could just
remember his pale, weary-looking
mother forever bending over the
washtub, straining great pans of milk,
and toiling everlastingly ii the
kitchen.
"But we all have to work in this
world," he thought, almost resent
fully. At that moment he heard the sound
of a voice on the other side of thf
high churchyard wall Jenny's eoit
voice, talking to some one else.
"Yes," said she, "I've made np my
mind to go to the city with Aunt Nan.

To Graft Ami,
It Is said that Theodore Lee, a well-to-do,
though armless, man of Taeomaj
Washington, is encouraged to hope!
that his missing member may be re
placed by arms, not wooden, or cork,
or rubber substitutes, bat real arms o(
flesh and blood and bone. He has been
poing abont among the surgeons of th.J
East, and they think that if he can
persuade some criminal condemned to
death to sell him a pair of healthy
arms they might succeed in grafting
them to him. As to the method ol
grafting an arm, Mr. Lee has been in
formed that the splice would have to
be made just above 'the elbow joint,
where there are practically only two
muscles, one main artery, and only one
nerve. When Mr. Lee has found a per
son who will submit to tho operation
thoy will have to be brought together
in snch a position as to permit oi tne
arms of both, which are to be operated
upon, being placed in plaster casts, so
that they cannot be moved. Then it
is proposed to cut the back part of
both the arms, also catting through
the bone. The arm that is to ba
grafted to Mr. Lee's stamp, or that
portion of it that is cut away at the
first operation, is to be adjusted and
fastened to the stump and allowed to
remain until it heals, and there is
evidence of circulation between the
stamp and the part that is grafted on.
The second operation will be the cat
ting of the remainder of the inside
portion of the arm, together with the
artery and the nerve. This operation,
however, is not to be undertaken until
the surgeons are satisfied that the cir
culation through the part of the arm
grafted on is sufficient to nourish and
support the new forearm. This would
be ascertained by placing a ligament
on the arm of the person who was con
tributing the new member above the
elbow and shutting off the blood which
was flowing through the artery into his
own arm through that portion that was
not already cut off. Mr. Lee is now
looking for somebody with a healthy
pair of ams to selL New Orleans Pic

A Clerk's It use.
He wa3 hard up and needed a situa
tion. He knew nothing about the dry
j;ootl3 business beyond what he had
k'arnud while shopping with his sister,
but he answered an advertisement for
a competent Bulesman and secured a
situation under one of the closest and
hardest dealers in this city. As soon
as he took his place a fellow clerk in
i formed him that the proprietor would
. watch him, and if he failed to make a
' bs VUU VI LUC 1110b mice I USLUllltri 3
j he waited on, he could expect his dis-
.IilllC.
He tore down everything on the
shelves for the first lady, who didn't
want anything in particular, but made
no sale, jue observed that the pro
prietor's eye was on him and as thi
lady left "Old Skinflint," as he was
termed, stepped up and asked her if
she could find nothing to suit her.
The next customer bought nothing,
find she too was interrgoated by the
proprietor. The third was leaving tho
counter without a purchase when the
clerk called her back and whispered in
a confidential way.
"See that man with gray hair?" in
dicating the proprietor. "Well, he will
speak to you as you go out. He is on
the verge of the delirium tremens, so,
as soon as he approaches make a dash;
at him as if you intended to scratch
his eyes out. He is afraid f a scratch-,
ing woman and will run. Then you
can skip out."
The terrified woman followed instruc
tions and threw in a hyswical scream.1
The proprietor made his escape to the
new clerk's counter and inquired:
"What was the matter with that wo
man?" "Crazy as a bedbug. Made me tear
down everything and then wanted td
buy a kitchen stove."
The ruse sated him his situation, for.
the next customer was a prospective;
bride, who bought her whole outfit oi
him.
Tbe Oreat Bed or Ware.
It was a huge bedstead, mentioned
by Shaspeare In Twelfth Night, act 3
scene 2, line 51. According to tradi
tion, it ia still preserved at the Sara
cen's Head Inn, in Ware, a town about
twenty miles from London (mentioned
also in Cowper's "John Gilpin" as the
place of residence of the calender from
whom Gilpin borrowed the horse.) The
bed is reported variously to have been
10 feet 9 inches square, and 12 feet
square, and to have been 7 feet 6 inches
"h:gh," whether that means that the
mattress was more than 7 feet from
the floor we do not know. Twelve
persons could rest in it at c-nctj one
historian says that twenty-four could
do so. The existing bed is said
to be 12 feet square; it is of carved oak,
and bears the date of 1403 painted on
it, though the carving is Elizabethan
in style. It is said to have belonged
to AVarwick, the King Maker, but thi
tradition is not supported by facts.

How a Bearer Chops Down a Tre2.
Examination of one of them re
vealed the secret of how a beaver can
perform such feats as chopping down
a birch tree sixteen inches in diameter,
not to speak of softer woods, like the
basswood, of much greater size. The
tooth is composed of two materials.
Along the outer faca or front of the
tooth is a thin plate of exceeding hard
enamel ; on the latter, forming th?
body of the tooth, is a substanoe called
dentine. The dentine, being softer,
wears away with use ; tho thin enamel
remains comparatively unworn, bo
that the tooth assumes the shape of a
keen chisel that never grows dull. The
tooth is hollow at the base for half its
length, and is filled with a nourishing
substance which keeps it constantly
growing. Thus, not only is tho natu
ral wearing away provided against, but
ia certain amount of wear beconss an
actual necessity. With snch instru
ments the beaver is admirably fitted
for obtaining its natural food, the bark
of shrubs and trees. New York Tele

TO SINGERS.
The girls who put up my Medical
Discovery all go to our Warren Street
Methodist Church and two of them sing
with great pleasure to themselves and
others. One of them came to me one
day, saying, Dr. Kennedy, 1 must
tell you what good the Discovery 'is
doing in our church."
Glad to hear that," said I.
" Well," she went on. When I nai
so hoarse last Spring, you said it
seemed like Inward Humor and ad
vised me to begin at once with the
Discovery. 1 did so and in one month
the hoarseness was all gone and my
voice had improved so much several of
our church mentioned it. Oi course
I toid them you had advised the Dis
covery and I was taking it. In tun,
one of the girls said, I want to try it
too, and the fact is that the whole
church, I might say, iound out that
Kennedy's Medical Discovery
would cure their throats and pimples
and many other troubles."
All due to Inward Humor," said
I, and that 's what I explain in my
little book which I send to any one
who asks for it, and my Medical Dis
covery is sold in your town.
