Why, when 1 lived out in tho Cannibal lalnmlH, back hero In 1878, If tho peo ple would boo tho thermometer fall to 100 degrees In the shade they'd get out their skates and begin to consider tho probabilities of the Ire crop." "How high did It used to get?" asked MaJ. I'otts. "Generally up to 100 or 000 in the shade. They never did their rooklne with fires out there. Always baked their biend In the sun. Iay a Htcak on tlio window sill, and it would be done on one side before you could stick a fork Into It to turn it over. Tho water was hot, too. People never thought o'f trying to got cold water to drink. Put a leg of mutton down a well and it'tl come up boiled, and you could pump mutton soup out of tho well for two or throe days. Tho first time I went to swim in the ocean out thcr I didn't know about it, nnd I was nearly net tried to death." ' In the ore an?"' "Yes, sir; In the Pacific ocean. Why, a dog in that country couldn't put down four legs at n time, lie would go on three Kgs po'h as to glvo the other one a chance to cool. It wns a common thing for horses to got their shoes red-hut. and one summer 1 re member the pavements got so warm that several horses liad their logs burned off clean up to the knee. "Did I hey have no cool weather at all?" "Oh, yes, of course, that was in the rainy season. Then it would get very cold sometimes, and this caused a cu rious phenomenon. The Island I lived on was about eight milcB long In win ter time, hut the heat of summer was bo Intense that it would expand tlio Island to the extent of about four miles, and so she'd go on expanding and contracting from year to year In tlio most extraordinary manner. I know Just after I went there I bought a place of 11! acres of a man. It was Hummer time, and I paid him so much an acre. When thc cool weather came I found that It wasn't more than half the size It ought to be, and the trees were crowded up together so close that you couldn't walk through them Took advantage of me. the man did I ought to have bought in the winter "Was it a prolific soil?" "Well, yes, when the season wns good In real hot wer titer things were slow in growing. Hut ordinarily my corn would be between 300 and 400 feet high, and the stalks from six to nine feet in diameter at the base. We cut it with axes. The ears were generally about the size of a large lobster. Thero was a man over on one of the islands, named Smith, who used to raise one turnip a year, and that was enough, because a single tur nip would cover three-quarters of an acre. But one good growing season Smith's turnip grew so fearfully that It covered the entire island, nnd Smith had to move oft nnd go up on the side of a volcano back of his place. How ever, the turnip would grow; couldn't bo stonnnil. vou know: and it cl III crow until Anally it got so heavy that It sunk the Island. "Did what?" "Sunk the entire Island, and that, you know, let the ocean Into tho vol cano. This generated steam so fast that the whole thing exploded, nnd Smith was blown Gil miles out to sea, and picked up, discouraged, by a San Francisco ship. He told a friend of mine that that wns the last turnip he would ever raise. "Yes, sir, it was hot in those re gions. Let a man In good health stop out of doors In the middle of tho day and he'd come back all black and wrinkled, exactly like dried beef. I've known men who cured themselves in that way so that with a couple of days in a smokehouse they'd keep for !M)0 years, alive and gooil as ever." "Alive?" "Yes, alive. And evaporation was so great that I've seen the ocean fall lfiO feet undor a hot sun until you could wade 20 miles from land." "Did you ever do it?" asked the ma jor. "Often. I've waded '10 miles out." "I thought you said the water was boiling hot." "Holllng hot? Well, I believe I oh, yes. of course, boiling hot some times, but but, of course, I wore my boots. No, sir if any man catches me telling n Ho I glvo him leave to kick me on the spot." Then uprose the major, and elevat ing the toe of his boot, he applied it to the rear elevation of Abnor, and sent him whizzing out Into tho street. Ah ner picked himself up, brushed the dust off his trousers, and coming back to tho porch smiling, he winked at the major, and said: "Major, you're the quickest man to take a hint that I ever met." Then Ahner borrowed a dlmo from Jones nnd went away in search of a cooling beverage. f so1 Sp ecials for the Month oi November Dress Goods, Oulings, Percales, Calico, Underwear, Linen, Gloves, Table Linen, Silks, Embroideries, Laces, Combs, Fancy lop Hair Pins, Corsets and Collars.

H noncontiguous territory In the lis- t;iUil fl(illHi B'llUUUIO Steal ear lHU'J exceeded that of any previous year and was moro than three times as much as n decade ago. Ezra nurt, who lives about a mile cast of the Corners, has a hen which no amount of money will hiiv. tlm vow York World says. It Is a scrawny, ill appearing fowl, with bedraggled feath ers and a semlbald head, and, what Is more, it has laid only one egg In Its entire two years' existence. Still, old HetBy, bb the hen Is called, has a niche- In Ezra's heart and gets the very best grain the fnrm affords. The secret of all this Is that the one-egg Iletsy laid contninod on its shell a raised water-llne map of the spot where old Jeremiah Hurt, Ezra's great-grandfather, burled his gold at the time of tho revolutionary war, and with the aid of this map Ezra recov ered the treasure. Just how much this wan no one tins been able to find out, but it Is known that the mortgage on the farm has been paid off and th" Hurt family Is lhing in comfort. The Hurts gave up hunting for tho fiecreted wealth 10 years ago, after they had searched and dug until they were tired out. They knew that the paternal Hurt sunk his gold some whero in the earth and wont off to war without telling his famllv whnr.. ho had placed it further than that It was on the farm. Last summer n gypsy came along Helling beads and laces and offered to go into a trance and solve tho treas ure riddle, provided Ezra bought n dollar's worth of her wares. Hurt took up tho offer and in her trnnco tho woman said that Borne day an old scrawny hen would lny an egg on which would bo found n map. If this wore followed the trcasuro would bo found. Ezra thought ho was "stung," but ho paid tho dollar. Nothing more happened until a month ago, when Iletsy was found in the woodbox behind the kitchen stove. Horrified at tho idea of having n hen In her kitchen Mrs. Hurt shooed her out, nnd was surprised to find nn egg nestling lu tho Bhnvlngs. Tho egg had peculiar raised lines on tho shell and Ezra was called. Ho remembered tho prophecy of the gypsy and carefully studied tho shell. Suro enough, thero wns n map, with a littlo star at tho baso of nn old mnplo treo In the sugnr orchard, "With n pick and shovel Hurt sat forth and nn hour later returned with a discolored copper soap kettle heavy with gold. The family kept the sein't until lho mortgage wns paid, when It became common nropcrty. All ef forts to get Ezra to toll how much money In- fm nd In tho kettle hau failed W. C. T. II. ITEMS.
