The pastor is doing a good
work and is worth every dollar
he gets, but the home paper does
much of the work of the pastor,
besides boosting every interest
of town and community arraying
itself against all the evil; it told
of your entry into the school.
Mentioned your birthday party
when you were sweet sixteen. ^
Applauded your graduation from c
high school; started you to col-
lege, and when returned men-
tioned the first job you secured,
told of your marriage to the
sweetest girl in town, and also
mentioned the advent (or event)
of your first-born. Told of the
visits of Pa and Ma. Sympathiz-

best to get you through the

getting a husband when Billy
Acorn Evans turned her down
so cold. She bounded into the
editor’s sanctum with the inten-
tion of calling that worthy down
good and hard, but found him
out.
She left the office in no pleas-
ant frame of mind and accident-
ly collided with J. A. Beckner,
who was on his way to work.
“Beg pardon, lady;” J- A. a-
pologised, doffing his hat. “I,
didn’t see you.”
“Oh, sir;” Pauline sobbed,' i
am having all kinds of trouble.
You seem to be the only nice
young man I have found in Wa-
nette.” .
‘ ‘Will you please explain, my
dear young lady? If I can assist
you I will do so,” the handsome
young merchant asked gallantly.
Pauline looked at him in as-
tonishment. Surely he could not
be another Billy Acorn Evans.
No; he didn’t speak harshly like
Biily. “Why, ’o course youse can
help me!” she exclaimed, drying
what feebly, “you had better
'see the editor. He’s in the print-
ing office.”
“Ah, youse can’t come any-
thing like that on me,” Pauline
cried, stamping her small foot
angrily. “Billy Acorn Evans
worked that on me and youse
ain’t agoin’ to do it. As soon as
I opened the door of the printing
office the editor made out the
back way, did a marathon across
back lots and disappeared aroun’
the corner of the lumber yard in
a jiffy. No; youse can’t git me
on that gag. Youse is the man I
want for a husband. Youse would
make a model husband.”
Jesse nearly collapsed. His
knees wobbled violently. He cast
another hasty glance toward the
big brick building. Two young
women were watching him from
the doorway. Presperation broke
out on his forehead when he re-
alized the ordeal he would have
to survive. “Young lady,” he
finally managed to articulate, “I
am married. I could not marry
This Fall; but what we want
to do at the present is to call your
attention to the fact that we are
headquarters for all kinds of feed
stuff.

is an escaped lunatic. She’s dan-
gerous!”
Jesse’s wife advanced to his
side with a frozen smile upon her
face. The barometer dropped
swiftly. The danger signal was
hoisted. Rain in the southeast
shifted to the northwest; probab-
ly snow. She handed him a cold
storage look that nearly froze the
blood in his veins. Pointing her
finger at him accusingly, she ex-
claimed in a quivering voice,
“Jesse! I demand an explana-
tion!”
The young merchant fainted.
Two buckets of ice cold water
thrown on him were necessai y
to make him survive. He wasn’t
himself again for nearly a week.
The very mention of Pauline’s
name made him shudder.
Meanweile G. E. Beal was hav-
ng a time with the angry maiden.

you his experience next week.

Jesse became alarmed. He
looked at her suspiciously and
glanced toward the big brick

no one had appeared in the door-
way. He breathed a little more
freely at the very expectation
that his wife wouldn’t see him.

big man looked somewhat un-

up to the weeper and tapped him
on the shoulder. “My friend.”
he said, “I didn’t intend to hurt
your feelings. I just wanted
you to close the door.” The
man who was weeping raised his
head and grinned. “Oldman,”
he said, “I’m not crying because

is I was raised in a barn, and
