Ono day during that period In the feud history of the mountains of West Virginia when for several yean the blood of th mountaineers circulated freely over the fac of the earth , relates the Washington Star , I was taking dinner at 4ho house of one of the families that was In the thick of the mual and had lost a number of Us men lolks. However , It was not according to the best form of mountain society to mention thwo things and I talked about something else. A woman In a black alpaca gown was the presiding genius of the table and I did my talking to her. That she had lost two bus * , bands I was sure , but I hod understood she had married a 'third ' and had hopes of keep- Ing1 him. ' "Don't you find It rather lonesome out here at times ? " I Inquired , for It really was a house In the midst of everlasting solitude as for as neighbors were concerned. "Not for the last few ye'rs , " she replied. "Hit's been a heap sight livelier 'than I like fer everyday dole's. Hit might do for CrlsmtiB er Fourth uv July , but hit ain't * whut a quiet natered body hookers fer reg'ler , seven days In the week. " "I presume , " I sold at & venture , "that , your husband Is some company ? " "Not ez much es he wui , " she answered dubiously. "No ? " I sold. "Why not ? " "Mostly caze he's dead , " she Mid with * smile as If the late lamented were hotter , off and that she also might be. I was Just a little disconcerted by this unexpected revelation of her domestic de privation , but I hastened to act myself straight. 1 "Well , " I said consolingly , "you must do the best you can under the circumstances and keep your mind engaged as much as possible. " It was lame , of course , but a man can't always be at his best. "I reckon so , " she responded cheerfully enough , "but I don't worry. What with buryln * husbands and makln * black dresses 'tween times , I'm so busy I couldn't go to see neighbors cf they wuz thicker1 ! ! black birds. Won't you have some more uv the ) greens ? " "I don't care If I do , thank you , " sold I , handing up my plate. SWIFT AND COMPANY'S GROWTH. A Twenty Million Concern Developed in Twenty-Four Year * .
