BUTLKR, PA., FRIDAY. FEBTtUARY 1 O.
THE ASSISTANT.
A Plucky Girl and Her Lifo
Work.
"Are you the editor?" inquired the
old farmer, pausing inside the sanctnra
door.
"No," promptly replied India. "I'm
only the assistant The editor has gone
to the depot. Won't you sit down?"
She rose anil placed a box for his
seat. The only chair in the room was
a revolving one screwed to the floor be
side the desk.
The farmer had come through a sad
dler's shop to mount to the office. The
publishing 1 room was divided from this
by a temporary part ition ox pine boards.
He sat d .1 v.V.ii l.'.s hat on and
looked curiously around. leaving his
mud-spattcrcd person out of considera
tion. it was a place of oddities and be
ginnings, rough plastered, and contain
ing but two windows, which looked
north over the black street, the rapidly
springing wooden houses, the vanish
ing railroad and prairie. Some wood
cuts were pasted on the wall. A fancy
paper-weight was among the files on
the desk. A bench, pushed out at the
end. as if its occupant had just left it.
stood before a table that depended for
one corner's support on a barrel. It |
was the exchange barrel.
"Well, I come to subscribe for the
paper," said the farmer, after she had
addressed several envelopes, talking to
him about the weather as she did so.
"My brother will be glad to have
your name.'" said the assistant. "llow
shall 1 write it?"*
"Isr'l Bonebrake'6 my name." said
the farmer, going deep into his trous
ers and bringing up a ragged pocket
book which, being opened, disclosed
green banks of wealth. "What's the
amount?"
"One dollar a year, fifty cents for
six months, or twenty-five cents for
three months, payable in advance."
"You don't ask enough," remarked
Mr. Bonebrake, coming forward to lay
down his dollar. "Two dollars is the
figger for county papers. You folks
has started up with the town. You
must make it pay."
"Oh, we shall," replied the assistant.
"My brothers will advance the price
as they improve the paper."
"How many air ther' of you?"
"My two brothers and myself. One
attends to the publishing and adver
tising: the other edits. I assist. We've
heard of you. Mr. Bonebrake—you
own some stock farms about here?"
"Yes," replied the farmer, non
chalantly. "I got a cottple o' thou
sand acres or so west o' the place. The
place is growin", isn't it?"
"Wonderfully. I think it's bound to
be a grain and stock center."
"Now you talk'" said the farmer with
enthusiasm. "Why, when I came here
twenty years ago, 'twa'n't nothing but
perrara far as the eye could see. We've
planted hedges, and groves has growed
up. And six months ago the two rail
roads struck us and crossed, and here's
the town! I killed rattlesnakes where
Powell's puttin' up his ellyvator. We'll
be a city."
"It's only a question of time," said
the girl.
"So you young folks come on here
and started a paper. Had you ever run
a paper before?"
"My brothers are practical printers.
I have learned to do a great many
things."
"I bet you have," said the farmer,
with approval. "I like su.art wimmen.
Some folks doesn't; but I do."
"Oh, I just help my brothers. If the
them. In the course of a year they
hope to get a large press, and keep the
hand-presses only for jobbing. They
will have to be very close and careful,
but, if they make a good paper, I know
the people will stand by them."
"They will that!" said Mr. Bone
brake. "They won't lose for startin'
in when the town's young."
Steps on the saddler's stairs now
brought a young fellow into the room
who threw his hat; with a slam at the
table and cried out:
"I never saw such an abominable
place as this is!"
The assistant gave him a swift, salu
tary glance.
"Mr. Bonebrake," she said, "this is
the editor, Mr. Pink Bradshaw. One
of our new subscribers, Pink."
"Well, I declare," said he, "you don't
look nothin' but a boy!"
"Isn't your other brother BO older?"
inquired Mr. Bonebrake of the assis
tant.
"Younger."
"We try to make up in pluck what
we lack in years," said Pink. "But—"
"But we're open to suggestions from
old residents," said the assistant.
"Well I sejest 'keep on,'" said Mr.
Bonebrake. "Just you keep ahead."
"My brother has been thinking of
visiting you and some other prominent
stockmen," said the assistant, "to get
an article about your methods."
"All right; come ahead! We'll kill a
chicken and give you a bite to eat."
The farmer went smiling downstairs,
and the editor's assistant fixed her clear
eyes on her brother.
'•I don't care!" he said, sitting down
at his table and striking it with his
hand "You can fix it up with the old
moss-backs, first-rate, but this is a cor
ner of the earth 1 cannot endure."
"So you thought you could tread on
his local pride and not get hurt in re
turn?"
"I didn't see him when I first came
in. The mud! Just look at the mud
sticking to my feet!"
He showed the black, waxy soiL He
was a sensitive-looking, delicate-faced
young fellow, fair, blue-eyed, yet with
much reserve force apparent about
him.
"The wind rasps my very soul!"
"Did you gather any items?" in
quired the assistant, calmly, having
drawn a leaf forward and taken up her
pencil to make a local of Mr. Bone
brake's visit.
"Yes, my dear, I did. There's a mac
just got off the north train to prospect
this place for the purpose of starting
another paper. He has money. ]
talked with him, or he talked to me
He goes right to the point."
"That's what made the mud and the
wind and the place BO unendurable,"
said India. "Well, let him start it."
"And run us out in two months!"
"He won't run us out."
India rose and approached her
brother. Her face was lambent, as if
she were the spirit of fire.
"Pink Bradshaw, didn't we make up
our minds to locate here and take all
the consequences?"
"Yes."
"Am I not your oldest sister?"
"Yes."
"Didn't I educate myself and man
age to get you boys places and give
you something of a chance for your
selves?"
"Yes, my dear, you did."
"Did you ever know me to fail in
anything I undertook?"
"Never."
She rested one hand on his shoulder,
and tipped up his face to meet her
eyes.
"I have pledged myself, my health,
my life, my brains, to the success of .
3*ou two boys. Pink, I would lav my '
right hand down to be cut oft at the i
wrist if that would secure success to i
you. But instead of that, I can only
give the labor of that hand. Any
woman who honors her mea-folks and
pushes their fortunes, honors and
glorifies herself. My darling boy, if
you and Jo don't make men that 1 can
be proud of, you will ruin my life and j
dyoym it in shame/'
The youiifr man* sensitive face
kindled from hers.
"I wasn't whining:" he exclaimed as
if -spurretL "But a man ran see im
possibilities where a woman can't."'
"Thank heaven for a woman's vision,
then. 1 don't believe in impossibili
ties. I have done too many impossible
thincs while people stood by to tell me
I couldn't When 1 say I pledge my
life and brains and might to the doing
of a thing, that thine will be done."
"1 know." said Pink, with enthusi
asm: "you're the bravest girl in the
world."
"Not at all. I'm a great babv who
loves her brothers and is afraid of
snakes. But if I made up my mind,"
said India, stretching her fisted arm
before her. "to take a rattler around
t v . > . :rar it to I
f-hould do it if it covered me with bites
and killed me."
"1 believe you!" said Pink, with a
start as if he had been electrified.
"Where's inv clip and pencil? I must
get to work. You're a howler. Lady
M aebeth."
"You're a fine strung poet. Johnny
Keats. Hani the barrel and table over
this way. I want to know everything
you put in that first page article."
They consulted together, India start
ing the theme. Pink produced decorat
ed thoughts. She took out his ad
jectives and reduced his sentences. Jo
called for copy. India took it to him.
and distributed locals before the other
printer.
"Don't you want to dress up your ad
vertisements now while I set type for
you?" she said to her younger brother,
who at once washed his hands, ran
them through dark curly hair like his
sister's, and took his ruddy face away
to pore sturdily over her desk.
When the sun hung just above the
horizon, casting long shadows east
ward, India went home, stopping at
one of the wooden groceries for pro
visions. The whole town was com
posed of yellow pine excrescences,
from the first gigantic hotel to the tini
est land office.
As India approached her unfcnced
house on a path which cut across hum
mocks of wiry grass, she was looking
forward, as the thrifty assistant wom
an always does, to that time when the
boys would run their firmly established
paper alone, and she could devote her
self to the residence, lined with pic
tures, glittering with silver, full of
comforts, which would take the place
of this three-room nest. The prairie
did not bound her ambitions.
"Bnt wherever one stands," re
marked India, opening the door, "the
center of the earth is always exactly
beneath him, and the center of the
heavens exactly over his head."
"Well-nurtured girls in various cit
ies," said India to herself, "are now
sitting down to dinner, and talking
about next month's trip out of town.
But the assistant oil the Rolling City
Chronicle must light a fire and get the
boys' supper, not neglecting to darn
those last two pairs of socks while the
people are gathering."
bhe followed them back to the office
about dusk. A rising sweetness was
abroad, and the air so ciear that it cut
out every object with sharp edges.
The town herder was driving home
the cows from their free pasture up the
ridge. A freight-train far off on the
western road trailed into sight, and
p.. .'a of smoke on the northern horizon
denoted some approach along that line.
The prairie was like a mountain-pla
teau in giving one a sense of nearness
to the sky. The hemisphere of many
shaded greens pressed sharply against
the melting west.
At tii« ofiica laUia hurried to finish
whatever was beiiind on the week's is
sue, while the rest of the establish
ment set type. When the ten o'clock
passenger whizzed by, their week's
work was done. Jo and the foreman
were printing off the papers. The
rumble of the presses followed India
and Pink downstairs.
"Climbing upward in the night,"
she quoted, taking hold of his arm as
they stumbled past stores where tho
kerosene lamps were being put out.
"I wonder if I shall turn out a mere
monkey, agile in climbing'? I've al
ways been undertaking, something.
Pink, look at the constellations. Don't
they seem ready to prick us, they are
so near with their sharp points? What
a grand thing it is to accomplish in
this world! If we die to-night, our
week's work is well done; it's always
wise to be prepared for accidents."
"But what does it amount to when it
is done?" sniffed Pink. "That other
man will run us out. I haven't any
head for practical matters, India."
"Your whimpering is passed over
without notice. Did you ever think—
practical matters are just like piano
keys; if you don't touch them with
knowledge, you make discords. We
can't have a piano for about four years
yet. But when we get home, I'll take
down the banjo and plunk you a tune."
"And if we suceeed in making a pa
per here, what outlook does it give us?"
"Honor, influence, home. A seat in
the senate for you or Jo if you hit the
popular need, and care for it. In time
a trip to Europe. All the time, ex
change of prods with other minds, and
a chance to push what is good and pun
ish what is mean. At summer resorts
the well-nurtured young 1 lady may now
be entering a grand hop, but I am go
ing home with ink on my finger, and
the assurance in my soul that in some
vast future larger battles will be given
me to fight, and I shall come off victor."
Past midnight, however, the assist
ant saw her former victories crumble
before her eyes. Pink's shouting
struck her through the ear like a dag
ger. She crossed a great change while
leaping over the side of her bed. The
office was on fire, but Jo was not iu it,
for Jo had waked Pink and run off to
others for help.
India passed through a nightmare of
throwing clothing on, finding every
thing inside out or upside down. She
was running across the open prairie
with her brother, the streets rang with
cries of fire, and all the inhabitants of
a town so slightly built turned out
with terror. A crowd was already
passing pails of water from hand to
hand.
It was too late to do anything but
confine the fire, if possible, to the one
crumbling block There was at the
time no wind, and the pails were made
to do vigorous duty. In went the roof,
sending up a constellatiou which put
out half the stars.
"This is too bad, sis, ain't it now?"
said a human voice through the tumult
to India's ears. Mr. Boncbrake, the
stock farmer, was there, his whip in
hand ready for driving home.
"I was settin' up with hogs to ship
to-night!" he shouted, "and was one of
the first to see the fire. It bu'stout all
at once full blaze.''
"I'm afraid you won't get your paper
to-morrow," saifl India.
"Pshaw! You'll lose consider'ble,
won't you?"
"Burning up there is all that my
brothers and I have except a little
cheap furniture. There goes what I
have worked for since we were left
alone in the world."
"Pshaw! No insurance?"
"We were to insure the latter part of
this week. Every dollar was needed
before. But I would like," said the
assistant, shaking her finfcrer at the Sre,
"to get the better of that!"
"Pshaw!" groaned Mr. Bonebrake,
with full western sympathy.
"My brothers," said India, feeling
licr heart swell iu proportion to the ca
lamity, "will take that old tire for a
mere candle, though, to light them on
the road. And I'll help!"
"What'll you do now?"
"We'll have to g»t presses so me way. i
and start the paper again."
"Oot any backers?"'
"No."
"Yes, yon have,"-said Mr. Bonebrake,
rising also to the occasion. He pushed
through the crowd abrnptly, and got
upon a high platform in front of one of
the stores. In the midst of the roar of
fire and human lungs, he begau to 4
shout a speech, saying he did not in
tend to do so, but pluck was pluck. He
was burnt ont once himself, and had a
tornado tear him down another time.
And these yonng people was bound to
make it go; they hail the rattlesnake
killin' grit into 'em, and who'd stand
by to give them another start?
When people understood what he
was talking about, they began to con
sult among themselves. The banker
leaped upon the platform. He was a
man of few words, but remarked that
the Chronicle was an institution of the
town, and for his part he would not
have it destroyed; he would head a
paper at the bank in the morning.
Mr. Bonebrake shouted to him to head
it now, and the banker took out hi»
note-book and did so. Israel Bonebrake
adding his name and his hundreds
with an eager hand. Somebody eaUed
out that a new man had come, well
heeled to 6tart another paper: but t'ae
popular voice replied:
"Throw him in the fire!"
Other well-to-do citizeas sprang upon
the platform, and put their names and
contributions upon the paper. There
was a crowd raging to contribute. The
public-spirited enthusiasm was so great
that cheer after cheer for the Chronicle
arose, while the fire which had de
stroyed its outward presence among
them was sinking. The editor. Pink
Bradshaw, was called upon for a
speech and lifted to the platform. He
had but one boot on, but, brimming to
the lips with such appreciation of his
townspeople as made a maturer man of .
him, he spoke straight out of his poetic
heart to the hearts bearing him up in
calamity, and made what they pro
nounced a "rattling good talk." Then
his brother was put up beside him; 1
and Israel Bonebrake shouted for the
sister, who, to avoid good-natured vio- j
lence. slipped up behind the boys, put
her hands on their shoulders and looked
from the background between their
heads. A trio of representative young
Americans.
"There they stand," shouted Mr. |
Bonebrake, "as peart and gritty as |
any bunch of yearlio's I ever sec, and
here we'll stand by them. They've got
to have a good office and one o* them
big, fine printin'-presses. They'll be a
credit to this town, for these here boys j
are as full of go-ahead as a perrara-hen
is of tricks. And their sister, she'll al- j
ways—"
"Assist," said India.—Mary H. Cath

LEVEL-GROUND- BARN.
Plan* of Oqc That Cannot He - -rpswd
for todfVnfttMf.
I here inclos# the plan of a level-
STrouad barn. After having thrre base
ment barns, I bavi« decided th t for
h'-althfulne* of stock the level-ground
' barn is the best The plan of this barn
is very simple an-! cannot be si. -passed
for convenience. The plan I send is
of the kind that I would like for my
self Anyone building it can change
various parts to suit. The fl.>or of b.irn
is four feet higher than the horse or
cow stable floors or covered yard. The
sill of the barn would come on a leeel

j is above them and can !>e thrown down
in feed alley D. at as many plaees as
one chooses. The hay can be put in at
end of loft or one side. The silo is at
south end of feed alley, thes making
| it convenient to feed eitner hay or en
silage. Hay for horses is about them
and can be thrown down on bars floor
and fed from floor or in shtites.
In the granary the bins a--e ali aboTe.

The barn floor, 30x17. will hold the ;
grain in sheaf of a small farm, say 50 j

larger plan, and at threshing the straw j

You will also notice that horses, cows, j
etc., can be turned into yard from |
stables.
The covered yard has doors at north- j
west and southeast corners to drive
through when hauling manure. This
barn is 60 feet square, so to speak, i
having main barn 60x30, with an L ;
30x40, the covered yard finishing the
square. This yard should have a flat •
iron roof. Doors, windows and cupola ;
can be made to suit the builders. —R.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.
I r is just as easv to convert the prod- |
ucts into (rood beef as a lower gra«le.
Vni cattle are turned into the stalk
fields, be sure that they have plenty of
| salt and water.
Okies a few cattle can be kept with
profit, when a large number wouk;
prove expensive.
Whf.XEVE* there is a drop in prices
it is the lower grades that feel the ef
I fects first and most.
Feeding the calves bran in winter
will help materially to lessen tbe evil
j results of constipation while on drj
feed
| To A considerable extent the chance
of profit in winter feeding of cattle
now lies in the making of something
unusually good —Live Stock Indicator.
