STORIES IN PASSING.
It waa the latter part of tho week
when McKiuley's election waa assured.
The "tramp orator" was in an O street
clothing store where ho had just been
fitted out with a new blue serge Buit,
light overcoat aud brown stiff hat. lie
rolled a long slim cigar between his
teeth and was talking with his usual
rapidity.
A raw country youth in heavy boots
and ducking coat waa looking over a
tablo of odd hats offered as a bargain at
a dollar. The "tramp orator' approached
the table and clapped a hat on tho
young fellow's head.
How's that, my friend?" he asked.
"Too large," said the young man from
the country, as the hat sank down near
ly to his nose.
Too krge? Not much!" was
the
quick response, "Why, man you haven't
got on your winter underwear yet."
And such was the tone and such was
the assurance of that remark, that the
young man handed over the dollar and
walked out.
This is no thing of mine. It is in tho
interests of hygiene, and for drinkers at
the fountain in the post office square
if anyone drinks that water.
Take the cup in the left hand every
one clBe holds it in the right. Observe
that very near the handle is a spot
rather hard to get at but always clean
and free from dust and moist. Right
there is the place to apply your mouth
and drink. A pair of lips have never
touched that spot There is no fear of
contact with vulgar world. The vulgar
world hasn't time or sense enough to
hunt out clean places on drinking
cups.
When the world gets on to this little
game and begins following your plan,
change to tbe right side of tho handle.
She has been working for an East
Lincoln family since August a dumpy,
awkward, blue eyed, fair-haired German
girl of sixteen. The other day her
father came to take her home for a
month to husk corn. She went in to
bid her mistrees good bye and this is
the way she did it.
"Oh, Mrs. Smith, ypu not know me
when I come back. I not be bo fat, so
big round as now" and then rather
mournfully, "Fader not have so good
feed as you do."
familiar spot, but instantly every corner
came back to me as when a boy. Every
thing was just the same, just as neat
and orderly as ten years ago. Tho same
bread can was there, the Eame cider
jug, the satno doughnut jar. Glasses of
jelly and preserves stood on tho shelves
above, covered oier with light brown
paper and with a slip ou the side with
the name in her handwriting. There
was the ginger-bread and the mince
pies, and a pumpkin pie with a piece
already cut as when I used to come

said old Uncle Biriara the other morn
ing between 6quirts of tobacco juice,
"this ain't nothin'. Why, d'yo remember
the Fourth of July of MG? Don't eh?
Well, 'long in the mornicg times hot
ter'n a dozen furnaces sun a-boiling
right down and nary a breath of air. I
remember, 'cause me and my son Hosey
was cradling wheat in the upland field.
The sweat waB a-pourin' off of us it
made little pools of water, and the frogs
would jump right in and eit there
croaking like tin horns, with their nodes
Etickin out toward the sky.
"Well, as I waB sayin', the thermome
ter was just a climbin' like a boy goin'
up a cherry tree, when, whack! dab! she
switched round to the north like light
ning. The weathei changed and turned
cold so blame quick it froze the mercury
in the tube at the 100 notch, and caught
all those frogs with their noses sticking
out. And Hosey and me went around
and cut off with our scythes enough of
them noees to make a bushel of flap
jacks." NOTICE.

dark we started out and

Then at midnight we took bees-wax and
stuck English walnut shells to the feet
of those cats. We bees-waxed them

out into the long bare corridors. Such

the bees wax and sacks in my room did
