THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1916. PLATTSMOUTH SEUI-WEEXLY .JOURNAL. PAGE 7. f NEW GLA 'By... WILL N. HARDEN Copyright, 1914. by Haurper & Erothers CHAPTER IX. Abner Makes a Speech. IIU dinner passed most agree ably, and when it was over Abner stood up at his place and made a tinkling sound T whb tbe point of his knife ou an empty goblet, which gradually evoked silence on the jray company. Hear, hear! Sjeech, speech ! cried a lively talker, a man namd Wilson, who was large, hahl and had a crude wooden let; strapped ti his knee and thigh and who. over tbe frank iseu uouym of Pes Leg. wrote weekly let ters from Dawnville noted for their cheerful philosopliy. Tin's was followed by considerable applause, and Abner, bowing rijxht and left, had to wait till it had abated be fore beginning. "Ladies and gentlemen, brother and sinter dot tors. he began. as many of yoii may know. I ain't worth shucks at a speech. In fact. I don't know but what I wouid have backed plumb out o' tbi whole affair ef I had once thought a talk of any sort would be ex iwcted of me. It wasn't till you was all notified an the New Clarion was full of accounts of this convention that Tom Suirart told me that tbe whole thine would fall as flat as a fiirter ef I didn't rise an' say something at least in the way of welcome." "Good, good, hurrah fer Tom!" ex claimed I'eg L.eg. "He not only knows how to cit up a meal a mile long, but how to add on all the other up to date frills." "Thank you. r.rother Wilson." Abner smileil. "You put the words in my mouth an exactly at the right pre fer before you all I want right now to thank Sugart for his excellent service. Ef it hadn't been fer Tom this would jur-t "a been a common meal that we'd have been through with in ten minutes at the outside, but as you see we have set here constantly expectin something to eat for fully two hours." "And gettin plenty too. Don't leave that out. UnclQ Ab." laughed the hu-iuoron-i iotcrlocufor. - - - "Oh. yes. an gettin all that conld be expected, an even more." Abner grinned. "I would propose drmkin Tom's health, but I notice that the wonderful concoction that Frank Key mond mixed up in the big bowl is gono completely. Even the ladies seemed to take to it- As far as I sec. it hain't done any of us a bit of harm. I do no tice that our Ill-other Wilson, who pass ed his glas about as often as he could well manage it, is pretty lively, but fer all I know that may be only nat ural. "I noticed all of you down nigh his plate laughin rather hearty, an .fer the benefit o' the folks up this way I will explain that the fun was all due to our brother meetin' with a little ta Lle accident. The most of us all acted with great wisdom an' consulted the bill to see what Tom had in the coffee cup-s fer the first course, that looked like tnz. with grease floatiu on top, be fore we touched ii, but Peg Leg Wilson, with his big brain an merry mood. hain't got any more curiosity about newfangled things than Socrates would have over a starched shirt an' standin collar. "A coffee cup is a coffee cup to Broth er Wilson, so while he was chattin' so glib with the charmiu' lady on his left he reached over an' got the sugar bowl an' put several lumps in his boo loo in his soup. No wonder you laughed down thar. Soup with sugar in it Is too modern a mixture fer any of us. I'm not findiu fault "with I'eg Leg fer his lack of up to date notions, nuther. fer ef a prince of a royal house had been with us tonight be would 'a been obliged to think them thick china cups contained what they was made fer. Of course the saucer wasn't along with tie cup. but it would be only natural fer anybody to think that with such a big crowd the supply of dishes might have run short." "Thanks, Mr. Chairman," Wilson laughed out. "I'm glad you've explain ed my awkwardness in such a pleas ant manner. I did put the sugar in. and, what U most surprising, I discov ered that the stuff was really delight ful to taste. I'd advise you all to try it sometime. It was a great improve ment, I assure you. Tom Sugart knows how to get up an endless chain dinner, all right, and I'm goin to write an article some day proposing to the crovernment that every condemned criminal, as a matter of pure humani tarian principle, be allowed to Lave hi last earthlv meal strung out like this one tonight. "All sorts o' things could take place in his favor before a halt was called. He could grow from youth to old age. pne whole countries wiied out in blood v carnage and new ones spring im into activity and wane and die. No. the sugar in the soup is not both ering me. but I'm going to ask Tom in private some day what in the name t fOUimou fiise iia uau ium nm chunk of ' yellow cheese alongside of every s!ice of apple pie for. Out of pure curiosity I watched all the plates gy Lack to the kitchen, and the cheese RION left on ttiom. ir It Isn't hashed up into some dish for the transient trade and ; regular boarders, will feed the rats in 1 this house for months to come." When the laughter over this had sub sided Abner resumed his address, . I hardly know who Is maklu this talk, nae or my friend," he smiled, "but as long as he does as well as he is now he kin keep on bustin' in. Friends, as you all know, this news paper business is a new thing to me. I got into It to help a powerful bright young man along, and my intention was to slide back to my farm an have not h in to do with it myself, but How ard simply won't have it that waj, an ns it is the biggest fun I ever tackled. I shan't let loose. It looks like I can't anyway, for folks come to me with all sorts of matters that I nev er thought of before an which How ard really is too busy to handle. If auybody had told me that a newspaper man here in the mountains could have so many things to dabble in an' satisfy folks about I'd thought he was the boss liar from LlarsviJle. After the laugh that rose over his speech. Abner called on Howard, who made a strong talk, outlining the poli cy of the paper and assuriug the cor respondents that he and Abner would look to them for the lest support a rural weekly ever had. When Howard snt down Abner. with a mischievous smile in ber direction, called on Miss Patty Quinn for a few words. This was greeted by loud applause, but that young lady refused to rise. She shook ber head resolutely. vMr. Keytnond tells me." she said, "that as soon as the speeches are over the tables nre to be pushed back against the wall and we are to have dancing. I hear the fiddles tuning up now, and It makes my feet tingle. I have had a good time listening to you men. but I'd rather dance than talk myself, and as it is late I hope you will give us a chance." Abner agreed with her, and he rose from the table, the others following him. It was a hot Sunday afternoon. Howard was spending the day with bis parcuts. Abner came over to see him about 3 o'clock, and they took a walk along the country road. They passed the cabin of Pole Baker and saw their friend under a big oak In the yard swinging two of his younger children in a swing he had made. lie's bavin' a big time." , Abner said admiringly. "Let's not call to im. lie's got his faults, but they only seem to make Mm a letter father at times. I've seed tears in his eyes when he talked about his children bav in just a stepmother. Ef anythln in the world will make a man serious that wilL The woman he got the last time Is a good soul, but the children ain't her'n, an I reckon ef she don't Jove. 'em it.ain'tJxcr Jauln, jjShe'sorri she ain't had any of 'er own. but i reckon it is a good thing, consider-in' Pole's careless habit with the bottle. The Lord knows he's got a big enough brood already." "You and I haven't a truer friend anvwhere." noward replied. "He d ficht for either of us till he dropped In his tracks." Oil, yes. that's a fact." Abner agreed, "an I'd like to show apprecia tion of it if T knowed how. He's 'so all fired sensitive an touchy that , he won't accept a thing. I've tried many a time. I put 'im on the free list to git the paper, an he went right off in a huff an' borrowed the money an aid fer two years in advance." Pole had seen them. and. calling loudly, he left the children and came across his cotton field to join them at a bend in the road. I was just lookin' fer you two chumps." he said, with a grin, as he burst through a patch of blackberry vines and climbed over the rail fence. I've got a treat fer you. Uncle Ab. yore watermelons failed this year. I looked at ern as I passed yesterday, but Pole Baker's didu't, you bet yore life. I put a big one in ray spring last night, an by this time it is as cold as 'Greenland's Icy Mountain.' Come right on down thar. Ef you haven't a tooth fer a red ineated, thin rind melon on a hot day like this something is wrong with your internal machinery." The invitation was eagerly accepted, and, entering a shady wood on the left of the road, they soon found them selves on the brink of a great spring of clear mountain water. And there, in the shadiest nook and overhung by long moss and fern leaves, floated the melon. Picking op a stick Pole drew it to the brink and lifted It out on the grass. A moment later he took out Lis-long "bladed "pockelknlfe. ""arvl as he touched the point of the blade to the rind he said: "I'll show you some'n peculiar about this rattlesnake brand, o watermelon The skin ain't much tbicker'n paper, an' the tninute the blade goes In even jest a little ways the rind begins to crackle an bust. It looks like the goody Inside is swellin an tryin' to git out." "A banquet fit fer a king." Abner chuckled. "Ef I don't love 'em as much as a nigger it Is because they steal 'em an' my friends give 'em to me." When the three had eaten all they wanted Abner took out some cigars and proffered them. Howard accepted, but Pole shook hi3 head doubtfully. "I thought this was to be my treat all round," be protested. "I've got some cigars up at the cabin that I always keep fer special use. an I 'lowed we'd walk back that way an you could say howdy to my wife, fer she is fond o little attentions like that. Boys, she3 a good, steady woman, an I'm shore 1 made no mistake marryin' her." "Oh. take a smoke." Abner still ex tended the cigar. "They don't cost me a red cent. "Every advertiser InTDar ley chucks 'em at me to git mv rate down that Is, everybody but 1 p. He knows how to fix the rate hisse'f, an' he manages it without throwin' out special inducements. The next morningas Howard was walking to town he passed the gate of a rather pretentious farmhouse only a short distance beyond Trumbley's. It was owned and occupied by Frederic Craig, a middle aged bachelor, who was noted for his overbearing manner, dissolute habits and addiction to strong drink. . When quite near Howard saw Craig leading a horse toward the gate and noticed that his face was flushed, as It always was when he was intoxt- "Do you know what I have a good mind to do, you young upstart?" cated. Bowing, Howard was passing on when Craig leaned on the fence and called out roughly: "Hold on there! I want to see youf" Fausing, Howard said. "What is it. Craig." With his dark eyes flashing angrily, tbe color rising into his bald pate and a hand flourishing a riding whip in a threatening manner, Craig blurted out: "I want to know one thing, an 1 want to know It right now on this spot. Did you know that my paper was stopped?" "Yes, I knew it. I have entire charge of the subscription list." Howard an swered, scenting a difficulty and yet fearless, even angered by. the man's tone. "Then you did it, curse your fumed the other. "What did you take my name off for?" "Because you owe for three years subscription to the old paper and have not paid up," Howard retorted. "We are entirely within our rights, Craig. We notified you sent tbe account to you, and you insulted the bearer." "You are afraid you won't get it, are you?" Craig demanded fiercely. "Do you know what 1 have a good mind ro do. you young upstart? I have a good mind to walk out there and give you a sound licking." (To Bo ContinuedO CUT THIS OUT IT IS WORTH MONEY DONT MISS THIS.

Gase Power Driver Planter No Clutch on the Drill Shaft Y The J. I. CASE POWER DRIVEN CORN PLANTER that has been making surh a spler.d;d record at demonstrations piven in dif ferent parts of the country. Every farmer who has seen this imple ment in action speaks of its performance in the highest terms of praise. This implement has become a great favorite with farmers for the following reasons: 1. It drops accurately. 2. It drills or checks equally well. 3. It has a quick and easy means of changing the number of grains in checking or the distance in drilling . 4. It is strong and durable. In a recent series of tests, made with ungraded corn, (we shall be pleased to send you a circular illustrating and describing these tests in detail) this planter dropped 96 to 90 per cent accurate sure ly a remarkable record. In these tests the drop was varied form 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 kernels in a hill. NO CLUTCH ON DRILL SHAFT. There is no clutch on the drill shaft. The dropping mechanism is run by the glow-moving, main axle and- is entirely idle between the hills. In other words this mechanism is in operation only when a hill is being dropped, which means about half the time, in planting 3 kernels to a hill, using 3'-G" wire. The round hole plates, which are smoothly polished, insure ac curacy of the drop, as is being conclusively proved in daily demon stration. The extra large plates revolve slowly,which insure the hole's cf being filled before reaching the dropping point. Special plates can be furnished to plant peas, beans er almost any kind of seeds. The plates are made vith small, med'uTi. rpecial and large holer of the round shape and medium holes of th-j oblong shape, To change the plates it is not recess-ivy to icmove the grain. froir the hopper simply tie the hopper back and the change can be easily and quickly made. IMPROVED CUT-OFF. An improved cut-off, which is set at an angle of 43 degrees, tends to dislodge one kernel if two are im perfectly imbedded in the cell. The light spring prevents cracking the corn and allows an ofTsize kernel to pass through to the dropping point. The cut-off is supplemented by an auxiliary guide finger, which lies flat on the plates and catches the kernels that have passed the cut-off and are not imbedded in the cell, and guides them back to the hopper.
