•■thar's ar leetle giave up ther
!-ide whiehTll take jer ter arter rbin'
[ time termorror. It liev been ar mighty
long time ergo since it war made. I.at even
now when I sets down an' thinks 'bout
iher life of ther one thai lies in thai lone
some place, whar ther ■wolve- howl an'
ther wiinl blows so cold I can I keep back
ther tears; no. .ledge, I can't. An' tlicr
ain't none of this here atuif w bat yer read
iiout iu books in this what I'll tell yer
unther, ther whole thing is tine sbo as the
Lord made tne, cv ry word an' tz nlrh rr ■
1 can tell it ler you
' When I »vas ar boy long, long tiuie
ergo, ole Squire Smith he lived at Pig Pen
Gap. 'bout ten miles down ther creek He
had ar leetie gal name Marv She had
lhem great big black eye? what n.l ?hine
like ar buck's on ar dark night an' lhem
long curl that'ud fly [in tber win' She
wuz ar mighty spry creeter. She could
run an' clim' ar tree wus'n ar squirrel with
ar dog hiin An' eau e die conld do all
iich. we nn.i alios called ht-r Kildce.
■ ole Squire Pearson lired npther branch
not mi mighty fur. He'd come thar ar good
many years afore, but nobody didn't seem
to know nothin'much l.nnt him. He hail
ar chap named Bill. Menu' Pill xra pard
ners. but, Jedpe. we wam'tno more like
than ar pig an' a pan kin pill he war ther
be-1 feller you ever r eed. He "Wouldn't
hurt nothin . If we'd .start out hunlin' an'
ii ii oine game, Pill wouldn't want ter
hoot it. An' ihen he didn't lake no in
trn-t in things like me. When we d go
ter get chestnut s an' sieb, he'd l'orgit all bout
what he con e fur an' go -et down on ar
lop, he wouldn't say nary a word, but look
right at ther ground. Peav'd like he war
thinkin' 'bout sometbin' way oil'. An' ther
he'd .set till I'd chnck him with ar burr an'
say, 'Wake up.' I'd alius be askin' him
what ailed him, an' he'd say, 'Nothin'.'
But thought, an' I knowed thar was; an'
so one day when we were out fiahin' an'
Pill was scttin' on ther bank, dun forgot
'bont fi.ih an' was lookin' in ther water, I
went an' ;;et down right close ter him an'
ez Pill, we una have bepn Tighten good
chums nearly ever since we'wuz a whim
perin', but yer hain't never tol' me what in
ther worl' 'tio you air always tndyin'
'bout. Xow, come, ole feller, an' tell me
what 'tis. Pulliu' hi self tcrgotlier, turnin'
round an' lookin' me spang iu lhe eye, lie
sed: 'lke, dad has alius tole llie this yer i
a great big worl', an' he uster, way lonjt
ago, live in one of them big things what
yer call cities, whar thar's mo' folks live.?
tergether than thar be in the Mitchell
county two times big. An' ther folks what
thar Lave got l.trnin'. I ain't got no inin'
as what ther thing be, but dad scz it am
mighty good. It's gittiu' gumption iu yer
head. Xow I'd jes' like to go one of them
places and git er peep—but you is the lirst
creeter I ever tole, an'—'Say, fellers, I hcv
found a new cave ter make ar house in.
Come right on!' Lookin up we seed Kildee.
When Pill seed her bis eye begun to sliiue
(mine too, I speks, jedge. said llie old
man. laughing). Me an' Pill both liked
Kildee like she were our sister; it were
ther only thing lue an'him was like in.
Jedge, you bet we three had ther biggest
time'round this jer ole settlement you
ever liearu of. We'd play like we wuz
growed up an' 'ml keep house an' all sich
things. Course Kildee 'ml lie ther ole
'oman an' keep house. Me and Hill
did the huntin' and she'd do the
akinniu' aud enokin', 'cepttin' oncct
in ar while when we didn't
kill enough to suit lier, she'd grab the ole
Hint liflc, go in ther woods, an' when it
banged ;omethiu' alius drapped Waal,
yer bet she conld shoot.
"Things went on this way for ar long,
long time; playiu' like, yer know But
'twau't so muuy years afore we begun t->
'bout 'sure 'nougli.' That same kin' of
soiuethiu' what tells leetle b'ars they ain t
cabs no longer begun to tell us, 'yer got
ter stop yer play in' like.'
'tine mawnin' fer llie lirst time, we got
ter talkin'about the matter. Bill wuz al
ius ready to talk 'bout Kildee, we set
an' talked ar long time 'bout which of ua
should have Kildee for his ole 'oman.
'Twouldn' have been Pill if he hadn't
wunled tor give her to me, cause ho were
jes that good hearted; but, yer know,
Jedge, I couldn't, I wouldn't let him do
that But we couldn't agree on uuthin'
so we .-.aid we'd leave the whole thing ter
Kildee fer ter lis, an' we'd do jes like she
sed, didn't make no difference what it
were. So npx'day when all three of we
una wcro iu Hip B'ar cave I ups an' seat:
" 'Kildee, me an' Pill air in trouble.
An' when we tell yer what 'tis we air
afraid you will just holler, an' make
all sorts of fiiu onten us, but we ain't a
carin'. Its jes this: we uns hev been* cubs
long enough, an' now it's time we be git
tin' growed up. An' we ain't pertiouler
smart, but we got gnmption 'nough to
know two fellers can't hev the same gal
fer his ole 'ouian. You hain't never show
ed no difl'eruus iu yer likin' of us, Kildee,
but you must IK some way fer ouo of us
tor git yei. Now the one what gits left,
lie'.'l hev to go over an' work on Squire
Carter's gal. Course, Kildee, don't outlier
ouo of ns want ter bev ter leave yer (and,
Jedge.-wben I sed that my eyes begun to
get watery), but it's belter fer one
ter git left than both. Sow, whatever
you say we'll do without ar word; nay yer
Kildee.'
"Everything war so still you could Ucur
a deer tread. We know'd she
wore ez peart an' bright an'
ar cricket au' would do right. She stop
ped, thought ar leetle, then, raisin' her
head, with them eyes ar shiuiu', ml:
" 'No, fellers, ther ain't nolhiu' 'bout
that ter laugh over. 1 bed been Ulinlfin'
'bout that, too- I dou't |ikt! Itkts pill uu
tliftM ytr, anil yer no better than
Bill, but it's yer sez; so I'll jes'do this:
" 'Olo Squire Pearson has been talkiu'
lots lo dad an' mam 'bout cities an' luruin'.
1 dunno no more 'bout tber things than ai
squirrel does 'bout pot licker, but they
pears mighty nice. Now thci oue of yd
that'll ftn' ovit bout them fust I'll alap
this here ole ban' right plunk in lu mn '
' Jedge, when she sez that, I jez ter
myself, Pill, she's yourn ' Pill lie stood
! ,iiti an' wuz thoughtful like. ( know d Uc
( .\n, so r lad ler git her, but then he want
ledme to hev her 100 The sweat begun
to run down my face, but 1 didn't, say ar
word. We'd sed we'd do je»' like nhc sed
tjhc didn't hev no idea who she was trot
tin' down ter Squire Carter's, but 1 know
ed.
"Ar few d M ya arier that, ar hard lookiu'

j longin." v.-nnc on I.i-- back Hi. bed
begged me ter go too bnt I
lid no, I'd lay an' take ker
of thi r ole folk \ tind keep my eye ou
Kildee fer him. He didn't no mill as
ter whar be war goin' but -ed he wnrgoin"
'til he found hi cit. When be ed g.»od
I l.y . we i'..nlilli'l tell why. bnt tilei tears be
gnu ter prout in our eye. Piil -ed Ike,
keep good keer of Kildee till I come back.
We may tie growed up then, but we uns
will still be llicr same ole Ike an' Pill."
"After he left, me all' Kildee l.ep' up
our Indie, but tnarn'L like it u>ter tie.
When we'd think 'liout Hill the tea, 'ml
bergilt to come ter Kildee' eyi but she'd
pull up the corner of her apron, wipe them
erway an' say. 'Never min', he'll coma
back afore many year? an' then we'll be
happy again "
' Bout ai year arier. there come pa?t

I stopped, listened, then went up .01 to
whar I liearu they noi-e Thar set Kildee
an' that feller. He bed his arm 'round her
an' was talkin' mighty intru -ted like An'
every now an' then Kildee'- eye : would

I stood aud watched them for ar while but
didn't say ar word I went 011 home as
mad ez ar hornet. I would jes' go over
the nes.' day an' put some gumption in that
gal's head liout that feller; hi - eye\ didn't

•;Nex' mawnin' 'bout uu up, while I

•Come on, Squire, we'll ketch him or die

"Afore we lied gone fer we met ole man
Pearson and askt if he hed seen them. He
sed they had passed his liou e the evenin'
afore, but he didn't think 'boot their run
nin' away. Put if they were, 'tain t no

"Jeilge, il war as if somebody hail died

An' sure enough,ole laily Smilh did die afore

At the present there are too many who
endeavor to be successful, or in other
words who get their liviug. lit main
btrength and ignoranoe ' This i-- a direct
result of the negle.,l of a proper education
in early lite. In -some physical exer
tion m.iy tie necessary to the accomplish
ment of the end sought, lint in ca. es
out of ten this is a simple wa te of strength
through the neglect of mental training.and
reminds one of the philosophy of the prov
erbial ion of Erin. v. ho while not lacking
iu wit i not v.itty, lor he will invariably
attempt to make hi muscle do what his
mind ought to do, or at lcn-t what it ought
to a - ist in doing.
Oood judgment is oftentimes more \alu
ablo than years of experience Some
workmen will not put the lead bit of cal
culation into ii piece of work, and they
might work on lor year, pn'ting out all
their physical energy upon the work, never
for a moment doubting that that i the on

But mm to the proverbial 1 anko who
is not particulaily fond of exerting himself
'physically, and v.ho generally contrive lo
make his miml save bis body, and quite a
difl'erenee is noticed. Instead of hammer
int'. training, and doing the work him elf,
bo deliberately sits down to "figure out '
Mime device for accomplishing the same
result. It'a difficult task present itself,
where apparently considerable ran.vie i
required, he look the thing over, and gen
erally contrives some means of doing it
without •'putting his ihouhler to the
wheel." tn other word ,he lets hi mind
help his hand .
Here is jut where the intelligent and
thoughtful workman has the advantage of
the illiterate and ignorant. ainl ii the. rea
soil why we ii n.l o many really good
workmen, so far as physical force is eon

enough to support themselves.

large proportion of them do—in slow de
cline and a lingering death, drop y always
set ; in. Iu the late stages it is u most in
tractable symptom,aud adds greatly to the
suffering experienced. Tu the treatment,
physicians have been wont, to depend
largely upon a diet of milk, which, iu
cases where it is well borne aud can be
persisted iu, always acts well. But there
are many patients who, for various rea
sons, caunot be kept on a milk diet for any
length of time. To soine it become ah

really digest it properly, a' ituple food as
it is. And, be idea that, a milk diet is nu
suited to no small proportion of patients

from, and lience prove of ..11111 great ser
vice in dropsies. As a result of his iuves
ligation he is convinced that the oue im
portant element is sugar of milk. Acting
upon that theory, he selected I*s patients
with heart disease, iu all of which there
was mole or le - dropsy To each he
gave 100 grammes of the sugar of milk a
day, dissolved iu two quarts of water In
nil these cases a marked effect upoa the

were to be. picked up one at ft lime, and
the duelists were to throw them at each
other, at a distance of fifteen paces, until

Ituriug the dredging operations now go

have gone down iu that spot lour ccutur

tho old hull, the Spauish government or
dered it to be blown up. and to employ
divers for saving what could be saved
The work ha turned out a very piotitahle
one, and great care is consequently dis
played. The vessel dates probably from
the end of the fifteenth or the beginning of
the Lxteenth century. Guns aud other
equipments raised show the united coats ol
arms of Castille and Arragon, and some

on board there are mauy of Italian or
