THE SAGE OF LIVE OAK BEND.
NO. I.
In a beautiful beautiful bend of the
Thronateskee there lived the curious
sage called Jack Cason. So seclud¬
ed was the spot, away from the“mad
ding crowd” that Jack rarely saw any
one only when he went to town, which
was very rarely. He made this trip
by boat of his own make. He was a
good listener, but talked very little.
The world was curious to know how
he lived. Rumor said that he had
been crossed in love in early life and
hence did not marry. He lived en¬
tirely alone, did his own cooking
and washing, and as he expressed it
“done his own thinking.” He seem¬
ed to be always on the alert, and if
anyone approached his humble* cabin
lie would come out and meet them
in the yard, closing the door after
him, and if he did not wish to see
them, however forcibly they knocked
won! 1 not hi.-ed ihem. A lawyer
*■ v« V * ll * /dr ity of his race
(h r ; / T v- the mystery and
llllti Llilt iiw 1 * ihl. j , - n lived and how
he spent his time. Perceiving a |
heavy cloud m the west he hurried in
front of Jack’s house and began to
knock vigorously. No response un¬
til the rain began to fall. Then Jack
opened and invited them in. What
washis astonishment to find a good
library--history, travels, poetry, etc.
“Mr. Cason, I am much obliged to
you for shelter from this heavy rain
fall.”
“Not at all,not at all,”says he.“ The
rain brought you here or rather was
the pretext. You wanted to see how
old Jack lived; and let me tell you
that you are the first person that has
been in my house in twenty years,
and you would not be here now if 1
did not have a use for you. You
lawyers seem to be a necessary evil.
1 want you to read over my will and
see it it is all right,” (handing him the
paper).
Imagine the lawyer’s astonishment
to find an elegantly drawn document
in a fair, legible hand and couched
in proper legal terms.
“Who drew this paper for you, Mr.
Cason?”
“I, myseli,” was the rejily. “
there anything marvelous in that?
Any . man with . , ordinary ,• . brains .
c-n
write a will The law only wants a
man to express what he wants done
with his property after his death, and
that is simple enough. I want you
to see that it is properly executed.
Take that paper with you and I will
he in town to-morrow and will sign it.
No one is to know but you the char
acler of the pa]>er or its contents.
The summer shower is over and you
have seen inside of old Jack’s house
and you can go.”
The lawyer was puzzled exceeding¬
ly, and as he sauntered away he
mused of this strange old man, how
little of happiness he could possibly
have, what had induced this strange
life, and what could he have to will
except the little place whereon he
lived. Were not the bequests in the
will purely imaginary ? One thing is
certain: this man had a history and
the mystery must be solved, but how
time alone could explain. Promptly
at the time appointed Jack appeared
at the lawyer’s office to execute the
wilt. The lawyer told him that he
omitted to name an executor.
“By design,” says Jack. “If I
name an executor he will not be re
quired to give security, but if the
conr, appoints an administrator with
the will annexed security will be re
quired.”
Three witnesses were called and
the will duly executed. One of the
witnesses was a n an of much curios
Ry an{ j could ask questions equal to
& U y yankfce. I
“What paper is this ? ”
“My will.”
“Who are your heirs? ”
“Mary, John and Peter.”
“Who aie they ? ”
“My heirs.”
“Where do they live ?”
“At their homes.”
“Where is that ? ”
“Where they live.”
i 4 Are they your kin ?”
(4 No.”
“Why do you give them property ?”
“Because they need it.”
“Are they poor?”
“Not yet.”
“Why do you live’alone ? ”
“Because 1 want to.”
“Do you get lonesome ?”
“Yes; I am very lonesome right
now, and am always so in a crowd.
A man’s best companion is his own
thoughts, unless he be a fool, then his
absence is better than his presence.”

' preparation that I could prescribe

factured by you. Have pi escribed it
a great many times and its effect is
wonderful, and would say in conclu¬

Catarrh that it would not cure,if they
would take R accoiding to directions.
Yours truly,

Valdosta, Ga , Oct. 20, 1886 .-My
boy is now eighteen years old, and h»s
been Sick a'l his life, &nd not side to do
any work of any kind I thought he had
dropsy bis blood was almost like water.
He has never had any appetite or color,
and was unfit for anything, being in such
an awful cond ition. I have during the
last ten years expected him to die at any
moment, he could not walk 100 yards
without resting two or three times, [u
hree or four days after giving him
Briggs’ Nunnbetter Tonic Pills he did a
whole days work in the field, being so
much improved. He now has a good ap
pedte and is rapidly improving in stregih
and color. 1 know the Pills have given
him a new lease of life, and I recommend
them above ever\ m«di ine on earth. My
wife liHF also been in feeble coridibon for
some time, and they have improved hpr
also very much. If anybody needs a ton¬
