The -woman at the gta of the
moantain -farmhouse was &n unusual
type of mountain woman la that
she was enormously largo of frsjna
and had the flesh to maton w bo u
she must have weighed 200 potuaaJ
at the least She was good looking
too albeit her hir was Inclined to
be red and there was a snap In her
eye and in her voice that boded 11
for the person provoking her. fine;
-ma t nnnki pet mv dinner in
half an hour and by that time her
husband a man not half her size
and almost young enough to be her
son joined us and sat at the foot of
the table. After the meal she hus-
tled the man out on the farm again
as if she had him hired and X sat
feown in the shade to smoke a pipe
before riding on.
"My husband wanted to moke
nmnnd the house." she said "but I
wouldn't let him."
"I beg your pardon I responded
taking my pipe out of my mouth.
"Keep right on" she said disap-
pearing in the house and coming out
again in a minute with a clay pipe.
"I wouldn't keer to have a fillin uv
yer store terbacker myself. I git
tinder tired uv lonr sreen."
As she filled and lit her pipe Bhe
went on :
"Hit looks kinder funny mebbe"
she said "to see me smokin an not
let Jim smoke but he ain't gotter
bit nv control over hisself . an thar'fl
no tellin how lazy he'd gitef I let
him set round smokin ail trie time.
Smokin is powerful lazyin ef you've
Avr noticed. " '
I confessed to the soothing quali-
ties of the weed and branched out
Via entiiartt nf her husband.
"Is he yoar first?" I inquired
niildlv.
"Well no." she laughed. "I'd be
plum ashamed uv myielf ef I
couldn't do no better'n that the fust
time. He's my third an I needn't
a tuok him I reckon ef I hadn't been
sorter obleeared to him fer favers.
"Mav I inauire what kind of fa
vors a eentleman could show a lady
that would imposu such an obliga-
tion upon her?" I said very politely
eo she would not think I was poking
fnn at her.
Won " shn Hid lieaitatintrlv. "ef
I juBt ketch yore idee he saved my
life an I thought hit wasn't no
more'n fa'r to sheer hit with him
when he ast me to."
"But how could a puny little fel-
low likn he ia save the life of such a
bie. strong woman as you are?"
"That's what I would 'a' thought
ef hit hadn't aoshally happened. Hit
was about two year ago an he'd
been workin fer me about two year
an kinder hintin round cz ef he

want no small packages like him
Well one day I was up in the field
whar ho was workin an all to onct
a copperhead swung round on a log
an bit mo in tbo hand. I ain't afoor-
ed uv nothin like I am uv snakes an
I jist kerflumniixed an fell over an

Jim with his mouth to whar the
SDako's teeth had gone in an he
had plum suoked every drap uv pi-

Tint mv life wuz saved an when Jim
axed me to marrv him I felt obleeged
to him fer favers as I told you an I
just tuck him. Jim ain t no great
shakes mebbe fer a husband but
he'll be mighty handy to have
round the house in case uv snakes.
an this is a nowerful neighborhood
fer snakes" which I knew to be the
truth for I had seen 100 rattlers and
copperheads within a month. W.

Absolutely True.
We are indebted to Dean Hole's
book on America for the following
anecdote. The dean says that a Den
ver audienoe is notably benevolent.
It is said that a chairman after
a depressing address assured the
speaker that his discourse was mov
ing soothing and satisfying." When
reproved next morning for having
commended a dismal failure he de
nied the charge and maintained that
he had uttered no approbation but
only simple facts namely that the
lecture was "moving" because a
large proportion of the audienoe fidg-
eted in their seats and several left
the room; it was "soothing" be-
cause many fell asleep and it was
"satisfying" because there was not
a single person present who had not
had quite enough.
Well Beeommeaded.
There is a story told of the late
Dr. Tait archbishop of Canterbury
when he applied for his letters to
some village postmaster in the Land
o Cakes. "And ye'll be the arch
bishop noo!" cried the little shop-
keener peering urbanely at his
Kraoe over his spectacles. "Weel
