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- fin!

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.

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?” ‘‘You biit Lt is.

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.

The line of life begins on tlie Inner boundary of the pultn. a’.iou: midway between the thumb and the forefinger. If we imagine the left hand to lit' a map. with the fingers pointing north, this line runs toward the southeast, then curves toward the south and in curves finally toward the southwest. It thus skirts the base or “uprise” of the thumb, known *>.s the uprise of Venus. If it is deep, broad. of good color and extends nearly or quite to the wrist and if the rest of the hand indicates vitality and cheerful- ness, the subject may be expected to live to a green old age; be has a good dispo- sition and the qualities which good health and good temper usually create. Crnne lulnuil. 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, —-- STinves and Colds. It is not generally known among men that close shaving is apt to bring on a cold. Barbers, however, are acquaint¬ ed with this fact and it is rather on account of it than through any desire to bring their patrons hack soon again that they do not, unless ordered to, minister close shaves.
