John’s Mother.
Them was a timid knock at the
door of the county printing office of
The Weekly Palladium. After the
usual "come in” there entered a faded
and bent old lady, whose dress im
mediately proclaimed her as a resi
dent of the far back townships. She
bad a frightened, and bewildered had;,
and her bombazine dress was dusty
and wrinkled with the long ride she
had taken over the Kansas prairie in
her trip to the county scat.
I regretted having called out. so
roughly, and apologized. She did
not notice my apology, but.asked in a
trembling voice:
"Is this the printin’ office ?"
“Yes,” I replied. “What can I do
for you ?”
“I saw ye didn’t have nothing about
John in the paper.”
I did not know John froji Adam,
and was about to tell her so, but was
glad a moment lifter that I did not.
"I told the undertaker,” she went
on, "ter sec that the paper knew
about it, but 1 s’posc lie didn’t.”
“No, be never told mo, I am sure.”
“Yc sec we live out. in Clieevcr
township, an’ yc prob’ly didn’t bear
of John's dyin’. I looked fer it in
the paper, but didn’t see nothin’.
"I’m sorry, but if you will give me
the facts I’ll see that it goes in next
week,” was the only reply that. I could
make.
“John was an awful good boy,”
she began. “He was good ter me, an’
that’s what counts. When we came
West we hnd kindor poor luck. My
husban’ died an’ the other hoys left
me, an’ with debts on the claim an’ no
money ahead I don’t know wlmt I'd a
done’ceptfor John. He worked night
and day, plowin’ an' plantiu’ an’ sow-
in’. He never had a harsh word for
his mother—never.”
She stopped to wipe her eyes and I
found it convenient to look in another
direction.
She continued : "He was 25 years
old, but he looked ten more—lie work
ed too hard. I guess it killed him,
but I didn’t know he was overdoin’.
He wasn’t sick long—just a few days.
I done all I could. Pd have gived
my life for John if the Lord’d let it
be that way. You don’t know how
lonesome the claim is now. Jest me
alone in the sod cabin ; I can’t die, an'
it?* only sorrow to live. I had John
buried on the prnirie so I could go to
him ; I’ll go to him fer good pretty
soon, I hope.”
She sobbed a little and then recover
ed sufficiently to give me the full
name, age, cte., of the dead youth,
after which, her errand accomplished,
*he left me to ride home across the
prairie to the lonely cabin.
If I did not give John a suitable
death notice the next week, if I did
not feelingly portray the u uscl fish hero
ism of the boy whose world was his
mother and whose- ambition was to
aid her in her necessities, it was not
because I did not try. I hope I suc
ceeded in bringing a little comfort to
the heart of John’s mother, who may

It Sounds Somewhat Personal.
A couple of Texas sheep-raisers,
being in Austin, went to church. On
emerging from the sacred edifice one
of them said :
“I say, Bill, that preacher was hit-
tin' at us.”
"You bet lie was. He didn’t talk
about nothin’ but lost sheep. Oot
yer pistol ?” asked the other,
“Why, certainly.”
"Then let’s wait here till he comes
out, and give him a chance to explain
what he meant by them personal re
marks.”—Texas Siftings.
Canada is getting her hack up abou t
that affair in Behring sea, where a
U. S. cruiser captured a British sloop
engaged in seal fishing. 11 is hoped
that Canada will not strain her spine,
but will, after a respectable period of
curvature, reduce her anatomy to its
normal condition.
! i Depot official—I regret to say,
v madam, that you have missed connect
ion and there will he no train north
for six hours.
Lady traveler—Very well. If you
will direct me to the nearest large
dry goods establishment, I will buy
something and spend the time wait
ing for roy change.—Burlington Free
