CHAPTER XIH.
HIS PA IS DISCOURAGED.
“Say, you leave here mighty quick.”
said the grocery man to the had boy as
he came in with his arm in a sling and
backed up against the stove to get warm.
Everything has gone wrong since you
got to coming here, and I think you Are
a regular Jonah, I find ssnd in my
sugar, kerosene in the butter, the cod
fish is all picked off, and there is somL-.-
thing wrong every time you come here.
Now, you leave.”
“I ain’t no Joner,” said the boy as he
wiped his nose on his coat sleeve and
reached into a barrel for a snow apple.
“I never twallered no whale. Say, do
you believe that story about Joner being
in the whale's belly all night? J don’t.
The minister was telling about it at Sun
day school last Sunday and asked me
what I thought Joner was doing while
he was in there, and I told him I inter
preted the story this way—that the
Whale was fixed up inside with upper
and lower berths, like » sleeping car, and
Joner had a lower berth, and Hie porter
made up the lierth as soon as Jouey
came in with his satchel, and Joner
pulled off his boots and gave them to the
porter to black and put his watch un
der the pillow and turned in. The boys
in Sunday school all laffed/and the min
ister aaid I was a bigger fool than Pa
was, and that was useless. If you go
back on me now, I won’t have a friend
except my chum and a dog, nnd I swear
by my halidom that I never put no sand
in your sugar or kerosene in your but
ter.
“I admit the picking off of the end”
fish, but you can charge it to Pa, the
same as you did the eggs that I pushed
my chum over into last summer, though
I thought you did wrong in charging
Christmas prices for dog days eggs.
When my chum's Ma scraped his pants,
she said there was not an egg represent
ed pn there that WM less than two years
old. The Sunday schooj folks Jiaye pl]
gone back on me since 1 put kyan pep
per on the stove when they were singing
‘Little Props of Water,’ and they all
had to go out doors and air themselves,
but J didn't mean to let the pepper drop
on the stove. I was just holding it oyer
the stove to warm it when my chum hit
the funny bone of my elbow. Pa says 1
am fl terror to cats. Every time Pa says
anything it gives me a new idea. I tell
you Pa has got g, gr-jqt brain, but some
times h« don’t Ijave jt wittebtel- When
he said J was a terror to patsj Jhflßght
what there is'fn pafl, aqd iqp fllid
my chum went to stealing cats right off,
and before night we had 11 cats caged.
We had one in a canary bird cage, three
in Pa’s old hatboxes, three in Ma’s band
box, four in valises, two in a trunk and
the rest in a closet up stairs.
"That night Pa said he wanted me to
stay home bep.anse the committee that
is going to get up a npyster supper in the
church was going to meet at our IpAise,
and they might want to send me on er
rands. I asked him if my chum couldn't
stay, too, ’cause he is the healthiest in
fant to run after errands that ever was,
and Pa Baid-he could stay, but we must
reuiomber that there mustn’t be no
monkey business going on. I told him
there shouldn’t be no nmftkpy business,
but’l didn’t promise nothing about cats,
Well, sir, you’d a died. The committee
was in the library by the back stairs, and
me and my chum got the catboxes all
together at the top of the stairs, and we
toq|i theuj a|J out and put them in a
clothesbeaket, and jqs|; as the minister
was speaking and telling what a great
good was done by these noyster sociables
in bringing tfie young people together
and tftkmg their minds from the wicked
ness of the world and turning- their
thoughts into different channels one of
the old tom cate in tbo basket gave a
'PUFWBOW* that sm»ded Jikd the wail of
a lost soul or ft ohftlkuge to battle,
wj told cbpm that we. couldn't*
bold the bread board over the clothes
basket much longer, when two or three:
cats began to yowl, and the minister
stopped talking, and Pa told Ma to open
the stair door and tell the hired girl ti
100 whflt Was the matter up there. Site
thought our Pftt bfld got shut up in the
storm door, and she opened thp door to
yell to the girl, and then J pushed the
clothesbasket, cats .and all, down , the
back stairs. Welt sir, fc suppose no
pommitteefor a noyster stipper was ever
more astonished... I heard Mafall.overa
willow rocking chair and say, ‘Scat?
and I heard Pa say, ‘Well, I’m darn'd!'
and a girl that sings in the choir say.’
'Heavens, lam stabbedf They my chum
and me ran to the front-of the house
and couw down the front stairs looking
as innoaebt fts.eonld be, and we went in
the library, and I was just going to tell
’Pa if there was any errands he wanted
run my chum and me was just aching to
run them, when a cat without
any tail was walking over the minister,
and Pa was throwing a hassock at two
cats that,were clawing each other under
(fie piano.

The Hartwell Sun.
pnuea up trying u>~scare - cais wimi uer
striped stockings, and tho minister was
holding his hands up, and I guess he
was asking a blessing on the cats, and
my chum opened the front door, and all
the c its went oht. Pa and Ma looked
at me, and I said it wasn’t me, and the
minister wanted to know how so much
cat hair got on my coat and vest, and I
said a cat met me in the hall and
kicked me, and Ma cried, and Pa said
that boy beats hell, and the minister
said I oVpuld tie all right if I had been
properly brought up. and then Ma was
mad, and the committee broke Up.
Well, to tell the honest truth, Pa basted
me and yanked me around until I had
to have my arm in a sling, but what’s
the use of making such a fuss about a
few cats. Ma said she never wanted to
hftyp my company again, 'cause I spoiled
everything."
CHAPTER XIV.
HIS PA DISSECT O).
“I understand your Pa has got to drink
ing again like a fish," says the grocery
man to the bad boy us the youth came
ii; she grocery and took a handful of
dried itppjps, ThP boy ate a dried apple
and then made «p a’Uindh|e f-we, and
the grocery man asked him what l;u was
trying to do with lite face. The boy
caught his breath and then said:
“Say, don't you know any better than
to keep dried apples where a boy can get
hold of them when he has got tho
mumps? You will kill some boy yet by
such dum carelessness. I thought these
weyo sweet dried apples, but they are
sour as boarding house keeper, and
they make me pjdq’f yop pvej*
haye the mumps? Gosh, but' dw’t it
hurt though? You have got to be darn
careful when you have tho mumps, and
not go out bob sledding or skating, or
you will have your neck swell up biggcr’n
a milk pail. Pa says he had the mumps
once when he was u boy and it broke
him all up.
“Well, never mind tho mumps; how
ghflftt your Pfl Hireciaq it? Try one of
thqse pickles in pie jar there, won't you?
1 always like to have a boy enjoy liim.-
self when he comes to see me.” said tho
grocery man, winking to a man who was
filling an old fashioned tin box with to
bacco opt pf the pail, who winked buck,
as much as to say, ’lf that boy eats ij
pickle on top of them mumps, we will
have a circus sure.’
“You can’t play no pickle on me, not
-■when I have the mumps. Ma passed the
pickles to me this morning, and I took
pnp pjopthful an J like to had the lock
jaw- But Mft didn't do jt pq purpose, I
guess. She never had tho mumps and
didn't know how discouraging a pickle
is. Darn if I didn't feel as though I had
been struck in the butt of the ear with a
brick. But about Pa. He has been
fuller’n a goose ever since New Year's
day. I think it's wrong for women to
tempt feeble minded persons with liquor
op New Year’s. Now, me and my chum
we nap fake g drink and then let it alone.
We have got brain, und knoyv when we
have got enough, but Pa when he gets
to going don’t ever stop until he gets so
sick that he can’t keep his stummick in
side of hteself. It is getting so they look
to me to brace Pa up every tim? he gets
on a tear, and I guess I fixed him this
Hme SO he will never touch liquor again.
I scared him sq pjs foa}d head turned
gray in a single night.”
“What under the heavens have yon
done to him now?" says the grocery man
in astonishment. “I hope you haven’t
done anything you will regret-in after
years.”
"Regrat pothing!” Baid the boy as he
turned the lid of she pheesebpg bapk
and took the knife and sliced off a piece
of cheese and took a few crackers out pf
a barrel and sat down on a soapbox by
the stove. “You see, Ma was annoy .d to
death with Pa. He would come home
full whew bfld company and lay
down on the sofa and snore, and he
would smell like a distillery. It hurt
me to see Ma cry. and I told her I would
break Pa of drinking if she would let
me, and she said if I would promise not
to hurt Pa to go ahead, and I promised
not to. Then I got my chum and an
other boy—quite a big boy —to help, and
Pate all right.. We went down to the
placeVhere they sell arms and legs to
folks whfi hayc served in the army, or a
sawmill, or a thrashing machine ami
lost their limbs, and wo borried some
arms and legs and fixed up a dissecting
room.
“We fixed a long table in the base
ment big enough to lay Pa out on, you
know, and then we got false whiskers
and mustaches, and when Pa came in
the house drunk and laid down on the
'sofa and got to sleep we took him and
Iftid him put on the table and took some
trunk straps bb<l «fufingtean‘l strapped
him down to the table. He slept right
along all through it, and we had another
table with false arms and legs on, and
we rolled up our sleeves and smoked
pipes just like I read that medical stu
dents do when they cut up a man. Well,
you'd a died to see Pa look at us when
he woke up. I saw him open his eyes,
and then we began to talk about cutting
up dead men We put hickofy nuta in
our mouths so pur voices would sound
different, so he wouldn’t know us, and I
was telling the other boys about what a
time we had cutting up the last man we
bought. I said he was awful tough, and
when we had got bis legs off and had
taken out his brain his friends came to
the dissecting room and claimed the
body, and we had to give it up, but I
saved the legs.
“I looked at Pa on the table, and he be
gan to turn pale, and he squirmed around
to get up. but found lie was fast. I had
pulled his shirt up under his arms while
he was asleep, and as he began to move
I took an icicle, and in the dim light of
the candles that were sitting on the
table in beer bottles I drew the icicle
across Pa’s stummick, and I said to my
chum, ‘Doc, I guess we had better cut
open this old duffer and see if he died
from isffsmmation of the stummicx
fretn hard drinking, as the coroner ss d
he dkl.' Pa shuddered all over when he
; isi: the icicle going over his bare stmn-

»ea«.’
“The other boys looked at Pa with
astonishment, and I said ‘Well, we
bought you for dead, and the coroner’s
jury said you were dead, and by the
eternal we ain’t going to be fooled out of
a corpse when we buy one, are we Doc?’
My chum said not if he knowed hisself,
and the other student said: ‘Of course he
is dead. He thinks he is alive, but he
died day before yesterday, fell dead on
the street, and his folks said he liad been
a nuisance and they wouldn't claim the
corpse, and we bought it at the morgue.’
Then I drew the icicle across him again,
and I said: ‘I don't know about this,
doctor. I find that blood follows the
scalpel as I cut through she cuticle.
Hand me the blood sponge, please.’ Pg
began to wiggle around, and we looked
at him, and my chum raised hte eyelid
and looked solemn, and Pa said: ‘Hold
on, gentlemen. Don’t cut into me any
more, and I can explain this matter,
This is all a mistake. I was only drunk,
“We went in a corner and whispered,
and Pa kept talking all the time. He
said if we would postpone the hog kill
ing he could send and get witnesses to
prove that he was not dead, but that he
was a respectable citizen and had a fam
ily, After we had a consultation I
went to Pa and told him that what he
said about being alive might possibly be
true, though we had our doubts. We
had found such cases before in our prac
tice east, where men seemed to be alive,
but it was only temporary. Before we
had got them cut up they were dead
enough for all practical purposes. Then
{ laid the icicle across Pa's abdomen
and went pn tq fell Win tfaftf }ie was
alive it would be letter for Him to play
that he was dead, 'cause he was such a
nuisance to his family that they did not
want him, and I was telling him that I
had heard that in his lifetime he was
very cruel to his boy, a bright little fel
l")v who was at the head of hte class in
Bunday school snd ft petwhereyer he
was known, when Pa interrupted me
and said: ‘Doctor, please take tliat carv
ing knife off my stomach, for it makes
me nervous.
“ ‘As for that boy of mine, he is the
condemndest little whelp in town, and
he isn’t no pet anywhere. Now, you let
up on this dissecting business, and I will
make it all right with you.’ We held
another consultation, and then I told
I’a that we did mff fee) that it was do
ing justice to society to give up the body
of a notorious drunkard after we had
paid S2O for the corpse. If there was
any hopes that he would reform and try
and lead a different life, it would bo dif
ferent, and I said to the boys: ‘Gentle
men, we must do our duty. Doc, you
dismember that leg, and I will attend to
the stomach and the upper part of the
body. He wjjl be (lead before we are
<Jpne with him* We must remember
that society has some claims on us and
not let our better natures be worked
upon by the post mortem promises of a,
dead drunkard.’ Then I took my icicle’
pud began fumbling around the abdo
men portion of Pa's remalqa, and my
chum took a rough piece of ice and be
gan to saw his leg off, while the other
boy took hold of the leg and said he
would catch if when it dropped off.
“Well, Pa kicked like a steer. He said
he wanted to make one more appeal to
us. and we acted sort pf impatient, but
we let up to hear what he had to say.
He said if we would turn him loose he
would give us $lO more than we paid for
hte body and that he would never drink
another drop as long as he lived. Then
we whispered some more and then told
him we thought favorably of his last
proposition, but he must swear with his
hand on the leg of a corpse we were
)hen dissecting tfiat he wqulff neve?
drink again, and then he must be blind
folded and be conducted several blocks
away from "the dissecting room befert
we could turn him loosc. He said that
was all right, and so we blindfolded
him and made him take a bloody oath
with hte hand on a piece of ice that we
told him was a piece of (mother corpse,
and then we took him opt of the house
and walked him around the block four
times and left him on a corner after he
had promised to send the money to an
address that I gave him.
“We told him to stand still five min-,
utes after we left him, then remove the
blindfold and go hm ll ®- We watched
him ffom behind a‘board fence, and he
took off the handkerchief, looked at the
name on a street lamp and found he
was not far from home. He started off
saying: That's a pretty narrow escape,
old man. No more whisky for you.’ I
did not see him again until this morn
ing, and when 1 asked him where he
was last night he shuddered and said:
‘None of your darn business. But I
never drink any more, you remember
that.’ Ma was tickled and she told me
I was worth my weight in gold. Well,
good day. That cheese is musty.” And
the boy went and caught on a passing
sleigh.

cried the girl with the Hack eyes.
“He sehxiteJ the stone and had it

the newly affianced, blushing. “He
said I should not have one just like
Anybody else.”
“How lovely of him! Did you ask
sje jeweler how much It is worth?”
asked the girl with the straight
Lose. “Susie pretended that hers
was too large and took it back on

wouldn’t know what he paid for it.”
“Os course; men are so shy.”
“But wasn’t that lovely of Jack?
lam sure a man with a mustache
like that would make a delightful
lover.”.
“But, Efiie, how did he know the
size?”
“O, he borrowed one of my rings;
of course I knew what it was for,
though I pretended not. I was aw
fully glad he did not select the one
that Phil gave me. ”
“I should think so! But aren’t
you afraid that it will be stolen?”
■ “Yes, indeed; I keep that hand
under the pillow at night!”
“Well, a ring like that is positive
ly economical; it is such a saving in
gloves,” said the girl with the black
eyes.
“Yes, indeed; but what I like best
is the fact that nobody else ever had
one like it.”
jVs she spoke the newly affianced
spiked over to the girl with the
golden hair, who had all this time
been looking idly out of the window,
“Don’t you want to see pay ring,
Annie?” she asked, with a note of
triumph in her voice.
“Thanks, dear,” was the smiling
reply, “I am glad you like it so
much. By the way, you must be
very careful of it, the setting is not
very secure —I lost the stone once or
twice while I was wearing it last
year.”
Then, in the midst of a silence
which could be heard, she turned
again to the window. —Chicago Trib’

For a Dark Corner,
In decorating our homes with
flowering plants we are often puz
zled to find a flower which does not
object to a dark corner. For such a
position there are few better plants
than nicotiana afilnis grandiflora,
the sweet-scented tobacco plant
which hangs its head in the sun*
shine, but keeps its lovely star-like
blossoms open all day if placed in a
corner without direct light. These
deliciously scented plants may easily
be had all the year round with very
little trouble, for they can be cut
back occasionally and placed in a
warm greenhouse, when they will
very soon bring a fresh mass of
bloom eVen in the winter. With
good seeding plants to start with in
the spring relays of these flowers
can bo had without artificial heat
throughout the summer, and the
plants will last for several years if
repotted occasionally and allowed a
short time of rest

“CORNMEAL” MURPHY.
His Successful Efforts in Behalf of
American Corn.
There is a gentleman now in this
country who is known to a great
part of Europe and America as
“Cornmeal Murphy.” This is Col.
Murphy, a special agent of the agri
cultural department, who has spent
many years of his life in trying to
introduce corn bread into Europe.
After being scoffed at abroad and
laughed at in the United States, he
has at last succeeded in getting the
military authorities |n Germany to
adopt the use of cornmeal for the
ftnny.
The failure of the rye and wheat
crops over nearly all of Europe had
made it a serious question where
bread for another year was to come
from. Col. Murphy saw his oppor
tunity, and, going to Berlin, put in
operation an American kitchen for
the preparation of cornmeal in all its
forms.
The German peasants like rye
t)fe§d, preferring it even to wheat
bread. Col. Murphy, therefore, had
one-third of rye put into his sample
loaves, which the Germans have
dubbed “Murphy bread.” He se
cured, through the American minis
ter, the emperor’s promise to taste
the bread thus made, and it is said
that the emperor could not tell it
from bread made altogether of rye.
Col. Murphy had specimens sent to
every member of the rehhstag, and
also to the different charitable insti
tutions in Berlin.
The bread gave genera} satisfac
tion, gnfl the experiment resulted in
the adoption of this composite loaf
for the army.
Col. Murphy then went to Sweden
and the American minister gave a
corn dinner. The bill of fare con
tained a great variety of dishes made
of corn, including hominy in many
forms. The dinner was universally
pronounced a syccesa,
s’ha northern nations have,
strangely enough, accepted corn as
an article of food much more kindly
than the people of southern countries
where maize is grown. Italy, which
produces a good deal of maize, as it
is universally called in Europe, has
no use for it as food except for the
po}enta of the lower classes. This
is a sort of mush. The Italians can
not be persuaded to eat the boiled
green corn which in the United
States is such a standard dish.
The scarcity all over Europe this
year prevails in Italy, too, which
will have to import over a thousand
million bushels of wheat. Col. Mur
phy hopes that this will induce the
Italians to listen to his corn-bread
theories. Maize will not ripen any
where in Europe except in the ex
treme south. In England a stalk
of corn growing in a pot is a com
mon greenhouse ornament.
The importance of the subject may
be estimated, when it is understood
what an immense revenue would
come to the United States from the
exportation of corn and cornmeal.
About one-twentieth of the land sur
face of the United States is devoted
to corn. Yet only four per cent, of
the entire crop has been exported
during the last ten years.—Youth’s

A Visiting Prince.
Jajat Jit Singh, the Indian princq,
who was recently in New York, is
tall, dark and fat. He is only
twenty-one years old, but looks
thirty-five, for the lower part of his
face is covered with a thick, black
beard and a mustache curled at the
ends. He wears a purple silk
turban over his long, black hair,
but his clothes are scrupulously
English in cut and pattern. He
speaks English with a beautiful
British drawl that Lieut. Col.
Massey, his escort, himself cannot
surpass. The princess, who ac
companies him, is his fourth wife in
point of rank, and his favorite, be
cause she is the best educated lady
in his harem. She is a dark-eyed
beauty with a slender and graceful
figure. She affects the latest Parisian
fashions in dress and speaks excel
lent French.
Rain in Switzerland.
There is great difference in the
annual rainfalls in Switzerland, the
greatest being as we approach the
Alps, whether from the north or
south. The annual rainfall is 35
inches at Basel, 64} inches at Inter
laken, 69 at Schwez, rising to 88 on
the Grimsel and 102 on the Saint
Bernard, and falling at Lugano to
63. The percentage of snow in the
total annual rainfall varies from 63
on the St. Bernard to 6 at Geneva.
The importance of this precipitation
may be understood when it is re
called that a precipitation of 28
inches is considered essential to se
curity of crops. The meadows are
aided in no less degree than the cli
mate by constant fertilizing and ex
traordinary care in the way of wa
tering and draining.

in turn administers it to her own offspring

A GIRL’S QUIET PLEASURES.
They Are tho Most Delightful Ones in
This World.
Some of the most delightful pleas
ures in this world are the quiet
ones, and I think you will find that
the long, dreamy days need some
thing in them besides the outdoor
pleasures, writes Ruth Ashmore in
Ladies’ Home Journal. Get a lot of
comfortable chairs around in a shady
corner of the piazza, hunt up a
clever short story and let firstone of
them then another take their turns
in reading, or else let somebody
who is a thoroughly good reader de
vote his or her time to it. Then
talk about it. Sometimes the sim
plest story will bring up the most
curious questions, and bring forth
the greatest amount of knowledge,
I heard a southern story read the
other day, and the people who had
been listening to it began to talk
about the curious customs of the
negroes, of the voodoo charms to be
bought at the French market in
New Orleans; then they drifted
around to the magic of India, and a
man who had been there went and
got his curios for us all to look at;
suddenly the dinner bell rang, and
it was discovered that that story
had kept an entire party of twenty
out of mischief, away from gossip,
made them travel pretty much Over
the world, and had used up very
successfully a summer morning that
began at half-past eight and ended
at a quarter of two. You see, girls
and boys only want to be given the
cue in the right direction and they
will do what is right, but starting
wrong, starting out with the idea
that they don’t care for anybody,
that what they do is right and is no
body’s business, simply results in
heartaches, in bitterness, and too
often in very deep sorrow.
A Pleasing Performance.
“I have seen a variety of theatric
al performances at one time and an
other,” said the father of a family,
“but never any that pleased me
more than one I saw this afternoon
what I may call the Home thea
ter. It was an amateur perform
ance by strictly home talent. It
was given in my dining-room, in
fact, and the actors were my son,
who is seven, and my daughter, five.
When I entered the theater I found
in the seats which had been ar
ranged for the audience pieces of
paper bearing the names of the in
tended occupants. I confess that I
was pleased to find in what estima
tion I was held by the children upon
this, the first occasion in their lives
for any formal declaration of it.
They had given me one of the two
seats in the front row. I shared
this distinction with their mother.
The other children sat back of us.
I might mention that the perform
ance had been postponed from the
previous day on account of the stage
fright of the performers; a little
trace of this remained, but it soon
disappeared. Standing by the win
dow and looking up toward the sky,
the children began the first piece on
the programme, a recitation:
‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.’
After that they went gleefully on
with selections from the Mother
Goose melodies. As Jack and Jill
they carried a pail, reciting as they
went across the dining-room, and at
the proper moment they fell with
jubilant uproar- And so they car
ried the programme through with
brisk animation to the end, to the
profound admiration and great sat
isfaction of the entire audience. —N.
Y. Sun. '
Origin of Measurements.
The “foot” is named from the
length of that member in a full
grown man. Some say that it was
so called from the length of the foot
of a certain English king, but it is
believed to have been a standard of
measurement among the ancient
Egyptians. The cubit is from the
Latin cubitus, an elbow, and is the
distance from the elbow to the end
of the middle finger. Fathom is
from the Aryan fat, to extend, and
denotes the distance from tip to tip
of the fingers when the arms of an
average-sized man are fully ex
tended.
A little boy of Mrs. McDonald’s, live
ing near here, fell against a red hot stove
and was fearfully burned. The pain
was terrible, and it was thought the bum
was so severe as to scar the child for
life. I sold the lady a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm, which, after greas
ing the sore, she applied. It soon re
moved all tbe fire and eased the pain,
and in ten days the boy was well, no
trace of the scar remaining. J. D. Mc-
