[Copyright, 1001; by C. B. Lewis.]
When I got along to Biggs’ cross road
the other day, I found Mrs. Biggs anx
iousiy awaiting my arrival. I had
scarcely driven up when she said:
“Abe, I want you to come in and see
Sarah. She’s been acting mighty curi¬
ous for the last two or three days, and
I can’t make her out.”
“I’m representing the postmaster
general, the administration, the Amer-

CHAIR.
lean eagle and all that,” said I, “but
I’m no doctor. Have you given her
lobelia tea?”
“I have,” said the mother.
“And soaked her feet?”
“Yes.”
“And fed her on milk toast?”
“Yes. The trouble seems to be with
her brain, Abe, and I’m afraid she's
losing-her mind.. Come In and see if
' she knows yon.”
I went in and found Sarah sitting up
In a rocking chair, with a bed quilt
around her. She had pencil and paper,
and she was dashing off poetry by the
rod. She looked at me in a mournful
way and slowly shook her head, I
picked up one of the sheets and read;
To kill my love for Henry Jones
My mother must not try,
For sooner than prove false to him
I’ll hang myself and die.
"Look here,” said I to the mother as
I took her out into the kitchen; “you
have been trying to separate Sarah and
Hank Jones.”
“Y-yesshe replied.
“And Sarah’s mind is being unhing¬
ed. She may become a raving maniac
any minute, Mrs. Biggs, Sarah is 29
years old if she's a day. When an old
girl falls In love for the first time, she
has It bad. It doesn’t take much oppo¬
sition to tie her brain up in knots. Do
you want a gibbering idiot or a raving
lunatic on your bands?”
“Lands o’ massy, no!” she whispered
as her face grow white.
“Then take down the dinner horn and
toot for Hank Jones to come over on
the dead run, had you tell them they
can get married i. ::t week.”
“Abe. is that your, official advice?”

For tin? last four weeks I’ve been n<>-
ticing that Farmer Jim Cummings lias
1)0011 aetin ” sorlo!iisl) :is he t0;:k li:s
mail, but he didn’t volunteer any ex-
plauations. and 1 didn’t ask for any.
' rno Gl llo; U:; Vi nowevor. he v. as so sur-
- -
Ij that I QpeiuHi out on him with:
“Look here, Uncle Jim; have you got
cramp ' s or anything?”
“Cramps!” he growled in reply. ‘'D’ye
reckon I’m a blamed old fishwoman to
have cramps in July?”
“Any trouble in the family?”
“No.”
“Wheat, com and taters coming along
all right?”
“Yos.”
“Then what s hurt your feelings?
Something is wrong. Uncle Jim, this
government wants to know what it is.”
“Look a-here, Abe,” be says after a
bit, “am l for this government or ag’in
“You are for it. of course,”'
“Do you know how clus the vote in
this township was last fall?”
“1 forget.”
“Well, sir, the present administra¬
tion had just one vote to spare. If it
hadn’t been for me, the vote would
have gone the other way. My hired
man had the eastin vote, and 1 threat-
e-ned to ltek him if he didn’t poll as 1
did. I’m the man who saved the day.”
“And you should be rewarded,” said I.
“Yes. so 1 should, but bow have I
been rewarded? A few weeks ago there
was a new school board elected for
this district. The cohorts of this gov-
eminent ought to have been on hand to
see that l was .-’.e-.-ied chairman, but
not one blsu; • <1 cohort showed up, and
I didn’t come within a mite of it. That’s
wh.-it ails me. Abe. if you want to
know.”
“It was too bad,” I snid. “I’m one
of the cohorts of the government, as
you know, and 1 never even heard that
you wanted the oSlice. Can nothing he
done now?
“The government might cohort the
feller out and cohort me in,” suggested
Uncle Jim.
“I’m afraid that can't be done.”
“Oh, it can’t? Well, I ain’t askin the
government to break its back. Just let
things be as they are.”
“But you may do something rash.”
“You bet I will!” said Uncle Jim ns
he looked up at me with a grim smile.
“Yes, Abe, the galled jade winces, and
the iron has struck home. It’s too late
for the cohorts of the government to
show up. I got up this mornin fully
determined to upset these United States
aml bust this American nation into a
cocked hat, and, by gum, I’ll do it!”
“Can nothing induce”—
“Nothin ’tall. Abe, and you might as
well save your wind. When the gov¬
ernment left me to fight it out alone, I
left the government to sink or swim,
Slie’s goin to sink, Abe—goin down like
a cow In a quagmire—and all the tootiu
of all the brass bands in the worn!
can't save her. Jest drive on and get
ready for the awfulest. biggest calam-
lty ihis world lias ever heard of, and
you are my witness that the govern-
meat is to blame for the hull tiling.”
Poor Uncle Jim Cummings! lie spells
cat with a k, but he has saved this
country no less than three different
times and ought to have been the whole
school board ere this. M. Quad.
AN EASY PROBLEM.
file Old Man Was In lo Danger if He
Followed Directions.,
The druggist had written it on the
labels and also cautioned the old uegro
by word of mouth that the contents of
ouo bottle were for Internal use and
the other for external use, but be hadn’t
got a block away before he stopped a
pedestrian to ask the difference.
“Why, one is for external and the
other for internal use,” was the reply.
“But which is it?”
“This is for external. External means
outside, you know. You rub it on.”
“Yes, sah.”
“And the other you swallow.”
“Yes, sah, but s’posin I dun git dem
bottles mixed up arter I git home?”
“Yes, you may do that. Have you
got a wife?”
“Suahly, salt."
“Well, then, let her take the contents
of one bottle, and yon rub your legs
with the other. Understand ?”
“I. does, sah,” said the old man, with

In Lake Minnetouka. Minnesota, there
is a picturesque island which takes its
name from the faef that it is unin-
habited by man and given over to the
cranes. Generations back these birds
decided upon this spot for a summer
resort. As times went on and the sur-
rounding islands populated no man
bad the heart to disturb them, until
now Crane island is pointed out from
passing boats as one of the curiosities
of the northwest,

It is not generally known among men
that close shaving is apt to bring on a
cold. Barbers, however, are acquaint¬

account of it than through any desire
to bring their patrons hack soon again
that they do not, unless ordered to,
minister close shaves.
