Tho commission man had romarked
that most of tho ovll manifested in a
man's chnractor resulted from an Im
perfect realization of tho dofoct on tho
part of tho man himself. Ho had a
habit of throwing off llttlo gems of
thought Ilko that.
"You mean that conviction of sin
must como boforo repentance," said
tho patriarch, whoso weakness was
telling peoplo what they tnoant. "That
romlnds mo of an old neighbor of mlno
back In Iowa," ho continued. "Did I
over toll you about Zophanlah Corn
stock?" "Yes," answered a chorus of listen
ers. Tho commission man added.
"Very often."
"'Thon I'll tell it to you again for
fear you might forget," said tho patrl
arch. "Zcphanlah Comstock, na I said,
was a neighbor of ours; that is to say,
thoro wero only thrco farms between
us. Ho waB ono of theso men whoso
mouths seem to bo drawn across their
faccB in a straight lino with a fine
nibbed pen, and ho had what you might
call tho financial noso.
"Ho was wealthy for thoso days and
by tho community's standard of wealth,
nnd thoro wasn't a bettor-appointed
farm or fatter and bctter-carcd-for
stock than his In thrco counties, but
ho was about as stingy mean as they
over mako 'cm to his womenfolk.
Thoy didn't havo n decent dud to thoir
names hardly, let alono any sort of
convonlonco for making tho housework
easy or anything to mako tho houso at
tractive. Thoro woro Just tho two of
'cm Mrs. Comstock and her daughter
Sarah and thoy did tho cooking,
churning, Ironing, washing, baking and
sowing for tho wholo layout, Including
four small kids and two hired men.
But If Mrs. Comstock wanted a patent
churn, a dross pattern, a bolt of sheet
ing or anything beyond tho barest ne
cessities, it was llko pulling tooth to
get 'em out of Zephanlah. Thoso
women Just dogged it from early till
lato with makeshifts and worn-out ma
terials, but if there was any lato im
proved farm machinery on tho market
or a now food for cattlo Zophanlah
wasn't happy till ho got It.
"It had gono on that way for years,
when a certain Mrs. Wltterman
stopped off thero ono morning and
stayed to dinner. Sho wns an old
schoolmato of Mrs. Comstock's and
had Just moved Into our section of tho
country. Well, sho naturally oxpected
that thero would bo what thoy call a
company dinner, but thero wasn't.
Thero was fat fried pork and potatoes
nnd boiled greens nnd all tho dessort
was squash plo. This was sot out on
an old, frayed red-and-whito checkered
tablecloth, and thoro wasn't a pleco of
plated waro on tho tablo. It seems to
mo that Mrs. Comstock wept about It
on her old friend's bosom when tho
men had gono out to tho fields again.
Sho said that Zophanlah wasn't stingy
nt heart, but that ho didn't qulto rpal-
lzo how tho houso looked, 'being as ho
novor visited.'
"Mrs. Wltterman went away with
tho firm Intention of bringing Zopha
nlah to a realization of his cussedness.
Sho brought tho matter up under tho
bond of gcnoral business nt tho sowing
clrclo tho noxt week. Thoy had nulto
a discussion over it and tho result of
It was that Mrs. Wltterman nindo a
second visit to Mrs. Comstock.
"Sho got thoro about two o'clock
and found Mrs. Comstock over hor
tubs. As soon as sIiq had got hor
breath sho Imparted tho cheering in
formation that tho wholo blessed sow
ing clrclo was going to break In on her
nbout suppor tlmo with Its husbands,
ns a llttlo 8urpriso party. Mrs. Corn
stock turnod pnlo and fell back Into
a rocking chair a thing sho didn't
often do.
" 'My dear, thoro isn't a thing to eat
In tho houso, oxcopt Just what wo al
ways havo,' sho said. 'Not so much
as a glass of Joll or anything. Not a
docont white tablecloth, oven. Zopha
ninh always says ho doosn't bollovo In
fixings nnd foolishness and'
" 'Choor up,' says Mrs. Wltterman,
know Just what to do. I was all fixed
for somo company that didn't como
today and I'll Just drlvo back and bring
over what 1'vo got nnd a fow dishos
and things at tho Bamo tlmo. It won't
tnko mo moro than an hour.'
"It didn't, for tho reason sho had 'om
nil packed and ready. As Boon ns shn
got back sho turned up hor dress skirt
nnd rolled up hor slooves nnd pitched
in, and by tho tlmo tho surpriso party
arrived suppor was ready for 'em.
'That table was a sight. It groaned.
Tho sowing slrclo had boon busy, and
thoro woro Bovcnteon dlfforont kinds
of pies, enkos and preserves; all in
tho gayest and most gllttorlng chinn
and glass dishos. Thoro woro two of
tho fanciost lamps blazing their light
over cold sliced hnm, boof, chicken and
honven knows what; thoro woro doc
orntcd plntos, snowy damask napkins
nnd tablecloth; thoro woro pickles and
boatcn biscuit and balls of butter and
shining silver. It was about as gaudy
and mouth-watering a show as ovor
happened. And Just ns thoy wero sit
ting down Zophanlah camo In from tho
flold In his shirt sleovcs. It ho dldn
como to a realization of his shortcom
Ings thon!"
"Reformed, did ho?" said tho com
mission man.
"Reformed nothing 1" said tho patrl
arch. "Ho Just sat down and ato llko n
