p.ints, stating that thft stidg of
bee was a sure cure for fllflUtba-
tism, aad citing several remarkaf
hie instances in which people had
been perfectly cured by thiU ab
rupt remedy. Mr. Middlerib did
not stop to reflect that e
With such a name as that Would
be ever apt to say anything; he
only thought of the rheumatic
twinges that grapped his knafea
once in a while, sod "made life ft
burden to him.
He read the article several times
and' pandered, over it. He under
stood that the atiuging mute be
done sfientificallyaud thoroughly.
The bee, as he understood the ar
ticle, was to bn griped'by the ears
and set down upon the rheumatic
joiuta, and held there until it
stung itself stingless. He had
some misgivings about the matter.
He knew it would hurt. He hard
ly thought it could hurt any worse
than the rheumatism, and it had
been so many years since ho was
stung by a bee that lie had almost
forguiten what it felt like; ' He
Jiad, however, a general feeling
that it would hurt some. But des
perate diseases required desperate
remedies, and Mr. Middlerib Was
willing to undergo any amount of
suffering if it would cure bis rheu
matism,
He contracted with Master Mid-
dlerib for a limited supply ofjbees.
There were bees and bees, hum
ming about in the summer air,but
Mr. Middlerib did not know 1 how
to get them. He felt, however,
that ha could safely depend jupon
the jnsfiiiots and methods of. boy
hood. ffn-lfiSlv it there was; any
.why in hoavsp ot e*rth whereby
the shyest bse that ever lifted a
two hundred pound man oil the
clover, could be induced to enter
a wide-mouthed glass bottle, his
sou knew that way.
For the small sum of one dime
Master Middlerib agreed to i pro
cure several, to-wit: six bees, sex
and age not specified; but ps. Mr.
Middlerib was left in uncertainty
as to the race, it was made ilbtig-
atory upon'the contractor to have ______ _____ ________ _____
three oftbem honey and thrpe^of n j ne ty.seven on the end of his
thumb. He reversed the bee and
pressed the warlike terminus of it
‘firmly against hie rheumatism
Knee.
It didn’t hurt so badly as he
thought it would.
It didn't hurt at all.
Then Mr, Middlerib remember
ed that when the hodey-bse stabs
a human foe, it generally leaves
the weapon Id the wound and the
invalid knew then that the only
thing this bee had to sting with
was doing ite work ib the and of
his thumb.
He reached his' a'rttt out from

1 iKiPlie bad wad* a* b-li-
mitld to stittg to death the fiist
person that said “bee,’ 1 .to him.
He confided b!e guilty secret to
none of his family. He. hid his
bees in his bedroom, and as he
looked at them just before putting
them away he half wished the ex
periment was over. He wished
the imprisoned bees didn’t look bo
hot and cross. With exquisite
care he submerged the bottle in a
basin of water, and let a few drops
in on the heated inmates to cool
them off,
At the tea table he had a great
flight. Miss Middlerib, in the
artless simplicity of her romantic
nature said:
“I smell bees. How the odor
brings Up ”
But her father glared at her and
said, with superfluous harshness
and execrable grammer :
“Hust up 1 You don't smell
nothing.’ 1
Whereupon Mrs. Middieribask
ed him if he had eaten anything
that had disagreed with him, and
Miss Middlerib said :
“Why, pal” and Master Mid
dlerib smiled as he wondered.
.Bed-time at last, and the night
Wa3 warm and sultry. Under va
rious false pretenses, Mr, Middle-
rib strolled about the house Until
dVerybody else was in bed, ahd
then he sought his room. He
turned the night lamp down until
its feeble rays shone dimly as
death-light.
- Mr. Middlerib disrobed slowly
'—very slowly. When at last' he
was roady to go lumbering into
his peaceful couch, he heaved
profound sigh, n fulT of apprehen
sion and grief that Mrs Middleiih,
who was awakeued by it, sft'id if
it gave him so much pain to come
to bed, perhaps he had better set
up ail night. Mr. Middleribcheok-
ed another sigh, but said nothing
and crept into bed. After lying
still a few moments he reached out
and got hie bottle of bees.
It was not an easy thing to do,
to pick one bee out of a bottle full
with his Angers, and not gee into
trouble. The first bee Mr.. Mid
dlerib got was a little browq hon
ey bee that wouldn’t weigh half
an ounce if you picked him up by
the ears, but if yon lifted him by
the hind legs, as Mr. Middlerib
did, would weigh as much as the
last end of a bay mule. Mr. Mid
dlerib could not express a groan.
“What’s the matter with you?’
sleepily asked his wife.
It was very hard for Mr, Mid
dlerib to say he had only Telt hot,
but be did it. He didn't have to 1
lie about it, either. He did feel
very hot, indeed. About eighty
six all over, and one hundred and
intent on the carpet. Then, after
a second of blank wonder, he be
gan to feel round for the bottle;
and wished he kuew what be did
with it.
In the mean time strange t.hitigS
had been goiog on. When he
caught hold ot the first bee, Mr.
Middlerib. for reasons, drew it out
in such haste that for the time he
torgot all about the bottle and its
remedial contents, and left it ly
ing uncorked in the bed, between
himself and his innocent wife. In
the darkness there had been a qui
et but general euiigration from
that bottle. The bees, their wings
clogged with the watef Mr, Mid
dlerib had poured upon them to
cool and trunquilize them, were
crawling aimlessly about over the
sheet. While Mr, Middlerib was
feeling around for it,his ears were
Suddenly thrilled and his heart
frozen by a wild, piercing soream
from his wile,
“Murder F she screamed, ‘mur
der I Oh, help me 1 Help me I’’
Mr. Middlerib eat bolt upright
in the bed. His hair stood on end.
The night was very Warm, but he
turned to ice in a minute.
“Where in thunder,” he said,
with pallid lips, as ho felt all over
the bed iU frozen haste—"where
in thunder are them infernal bees?

Married Without Shops.
About twenty years ago,a young
fellow named Johnson, in the
wilds of Cheat Mountain in West
Virginia, made up his.mjnd to bd
married.
“But you have not a penny,’*
remonstrated his friends,- .
"I have iUy liandp-. lA.mun was
given two bauds, nnp. tp scratch
for himself, and the, other for his
wile/' he said.
On the day of„ the. wedding,
Johnson appeared, in a wlljte coat
and trousers, hut harefopfeA.
‘This is hardly decent,',said the
clergyman, “i'll Ipnd you a pair
offllmes *'
“No/’ Haiti .Johnson, “Wihen I
can liny shoe* I'll wear them; not
before,’’ Arift he stood np to bei
married without another thought
of his feet.
The samd stiirdy directness showr-
ed itself in his future course. What
he hadn’t the money to pay for,
he did without, He.hired himself
to a farmer for a year's . work.
VVith the money sated from hia
wages,he bought a couple of acres
of iimbere-1-land and a pair of
sheep, built himself a hut, and
went, to work on his ground.
His sheep increased; as the time'
inside of Mr. Middlefib’s night
shirt until it got squarely between
his shoulders, and then it felt in
for his marrow, and said Calmly :
“Here is one of them.”
And Mrs. Middlerib felt asham
ed of her feeble sorearos when Mr.
Middlerib threw up both arms,and
with a howl that made the win
dows rattle roared :
“Take him off I Oh, land of
Scott, somebody take him off!”
And when a little lioui-y-bee be
gan tickling the soul ot Mrs. Mid
dlerib’ s foot., she shrieked that the
house was bewitched, and imme
diately weut into spasms
The household was aroused by
this time. Miss Middlerib, aud
the servants were pouring into the
room, adding, to the general con
fusion by howling at raudom, aud
asking questions^hile they gaZi-d
at the figure ot a man, a little on
to years, arrayed in a long night
shirt, pawing fiercely at the unat
tainable spot in the middle of his
back, whiie.be danced an unnatu
ral, weired, wicked-looking jig by
the dim, religious light of the
night-lamp. And while he danced
and bowled, and while they gazed
and shouted; a navy-blue wasp,
that Master Middlerib had put in
the bottle for good measure aud
variety,and to keep the menagerie
stirred up, had dried his legs and
wings With a corner.of the sheet,-
and, after a preliminary circle or
two around the bed to get up his
motion and settle down on a work
ing gait, lie fired himself across
the room, and to bis dying day
Mr. Middlerib will always believe
that one of the servants mistook
him for a burglar and shot him.
Not one/.even Mr. Middlerib
himself, could doubt that he was,
at least for the time, most thor
oughly curedot rheumatism. His
own-boy could not have oarried
himselt more lightly, or With
greatev agility. But the cuie was
not permanent, and Mr. MiJdle-
rib Jons not like to talk about it.

Johuson, having found opt that
sheep raising in this district

to sheep raising. He had the
shrewdness in seeing the best way,

Stock-buyers from the Easterri
