JOHNSON'S FORTUNE.
I've done my best, mother," Farmer
Hobbs said, coming in hot and tired from
the hay field. "That there dratted ma-
chine won't work, and ef I am. to save my,
he.y, I'll have te take that interest money
and buy a new machine."
"1 think you'd better not, father," Mia,
Hobbs answered, in mild alarm, "1 don't
know where you're go'n to get any more,
and Johnson is powerful elost about gettin'
the money on time. I'd be afeard to let it
run over a minute."
"Well, but, Lucindy, the hay's wuth
more'n the intrust, and you know there'd no
takin' the stock through the winter without
it. The cattle might kinder rub along, but
- the, horses ie just plum obleeged to have'
timothy, and any timothy is as fine a piece
M you ever sot eyes on.
" Suppose you try again," Mrs. Hobbs
suggested, helping her husband to a luscious
quarter of raspberry pie. " Digo out with
you and help otichoke her, and we'll use
plenty of ile,and mebba you men rub through
jest this oncet."
Well, try, Lucindy, I hely% no
hoped, but I would like to save that interest
money." --
Mrs. Hobbs stayed in the field till five
o'clock, end the hay was cut with few. de-
lays. The girls brought out the supper,
whie.h was eaten with much relish iti ithe
hay field. The horses being watered and
fed, the /work went on by the big harvest
MOOD, and at ten o'clock the hay from the
at big medder " was in the stacks.
A few days after, Jim Johnson came out
to see if the interest money was ready. He
tied his horse under a tree and etarted
throughthe meadow to see Mr. Hobbs, who
was fencing his ricks at the other side.
"Moses and the bulrushee ! What's
tint ?" he eked, gazing at glinty blue re-
flections fleeting on pools of water stending
everywhere,. for it had rained heevily the
night before. "Oil and no mistake !" he
went on, after dipping his finger into a pud-
dle and testing it carefully with his nose.
It Was only the day before that the papers
had contained an account of eome new oil-
fields found not above twenty miles away;
an old partner of Jim had been the first to
itireot, and wile consequently fabulously
rich.
Johnson carefully rub'oed his finger on his
pocket handkerchief, stowed the latter, in a
deep poaket and -hastened across the field,
his face pale and his eyes glittering very
unpleasently. He tried to greet the farmer
with his accustomed familiarity, but his
hie words came by jerks and in gusts, and
his throat became so dry that he could scarce-
ly articulate.
" What's the matter ? Hadn't you well?
Mr. Hobbs asked, suspending his work t4
gaze curiously at his visitor. "You low
taller -colored as the dead, an' wour eyes i.
like burnt holes in a blanket."
"No, thank you, not at all," Johnson re-
plied at random. I'm quite well, except
husky sore. throat -are youquite well ? '
And the family ?"
"Pretty fair -we've got a deal of health
mixed up among us -you know they's twelve
of us all told."
" Yes, a large, interesting family -want
to sell the farm-?"
He tried to make the question less eager,
but he could not quiet the tremor in his
voice,iand he was in mortal dread lest Mr.
Hobbs should have some reeson to cross the
field and see the oil, when his " cake would
be dough;"-aehe Mentally expressed it.
"No," Mr. Hobbs replied shortly, and
went on with his work.
I'll give you a good price for it -I want
it for a combination shoe factory. Set a
flgger."
"Well, twelve thousand -a thousand
apiece," said Mr.Hobbe, jokingly ; the farm
was not worth more than a third of that
sum.
"I'll take ttt," with a gasp. "Here's
fifty to bind the bargain, and fill out a
check for the balance right here."
He did so, and banded the paper to Mr.
Hobbs, who kept his countenance and re-
ceived it with perfect gravity. Privately he
Wit& convinced that Johnson was crazy.
"Collie to the house and sign the contract
for the deed."
"Ail right."
Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs accompanied John-
son to town, and were thunderstruck when
they learned that the sale was real, and that
they had twelve thoueand dollars in the
bank.
"Sense that Johnson hain't crazy,"
_Hobbs began as soon as be was clear -of the
town, " why, they's somethin' in the wind.
It may be a shoe factory, but I don't be,
Have it I wonder ef they've found gold?'
it don't make no sort o' difference t
iis, father," Mrs. Hobbs answered, She was
afraid that her husband would' take alarm
and want to ".rue back," as she expressed
it. "No, it don't Make a grain o' difference
to us, an we've got enough for the place ef
they find dirnints. I never did like it, an' I
don't keer how soon we git away. 'Let's
bay back our 'six acres on the edge of Clover-
dale. We can git it for three thousenid, an'
then -you'll have nine thousand to put out at.
intrust."
a' Yes, mother."
" And we kin git little Jim his chnitet and
send him off to be learnt to play,"
"'You kin do jist as you please, mother.
I int deli enough now, I reckin to do as I
like and I hope I won't never want .to do
'othird very bad."
" That's somethin' you never °did do,
!father," dutifully replied his wife, "and I
'-don't believe beird rich is a-goint to change
you much. If it would I'd want something
to corne along and teke the money away
from us, becenvie it can't never pay to give
up doing good."
As semi as the transfer was made and the
deed recorded, Johnson sent the following
telegram to hie vrhilom partner
Como on -bring all your tome caeli-oil
in abundance."
The cash Wtke sent with instructions to
buy adjoiniag farms on option of thirty
days; the old man would come later and
tiring an expert.
The farms were bargained for at ridicu-
lously low figures, and then J0111390E1 invited
his friends Out to aee his "find."
"1 telt yout.boys," he seid, as he rade up
and tied his horse to the meadow fence,"the
whole earth is just a-soakin' with it, and
it's jiet lehrstin' out of the ground. You
see this mituntry has Dever had any oil taken
out of it," he went on glibly, ".and 'as it is
constantly generating it has become so
chock full that the ground can't hold it and
it's compelled to come out. You'd be
astonished to see how it is actually boiling
uP."
‘• It muat be wasting, if it ie in that con-
dition, some one remarked.
"What's a waste of a few Million o' bar-
rels ?" scornfully retorted Johnson.
"There's enough left for me and my family
and all my poor relations,"
By this time others, having heard the
news, arrived at the farm, and quite a
crowd had gathered when the pertner with
the expert drove up, followed by Mr.
Hobbs. t
"Just wait until you examine these blue
patches," (Johnson eaid to .the two men after
they had alighted from their buggy. "Now
tell me if yeu ever sew a surer indication of
oil?"
The expert gave a glance over the field,
took a quick survey of the conformation of
the country, and opened his lips to speak ;
but before he could articulate a word, Mr.
Hobbs- broke into the conversation with a
remark that sent the cold chills clown John-
iloi3's spine.
"And is it them blue patches that indi-
cate tis?" he asked, with a glance half pity -
Ing, half contemptuous. 'a That's a fact, for

Hobbs began, advancing upon Johneon, who
tetreated to his buggy. "Who was it

property and drove her to commit suicide?

The Hired Man.
Whitt is to be done with the hired man?
We must heve him: that is settled. But
how to get along with him, how to lova him
and respect him as a fellow -man is a ques-
tion that troubles many a farmer eind his
good wife, who believe that all neen are
equal and entitled to equal rights and privi-
egee.
How time heve change.' i What hired
men we used to have, and what hired girls,
too -the fermer's sons and daughters,
sturdy, honest, reliable. Families ware -
larger then than now; and tumidly mile, one
son and daughter were - needed at home.
The rest went out to work in the neighbor-
hood, in the next town, county or wherever
they were wanted. The farmer and the
hired , mea, the litter ofteu the sons of
neighbors, were equals in all reapects.
It happened often that the hired iman
married the daughter of his employer and
settled down on the farm, or near by. At
the table, in the family circle,In all 'com-
pany," the hired man and -the hired girl had
a place as members of the family • and the
company, in those days, helped to : clear the
table and wash the dishes, that the farmer's
wife and the hired girl might have an equal
opportunity with the gueets in the events of .
the evening. _
, In some, parts of the country the help still
sit at the table with the family, but in fami-
lies where there are children and grown-up
daughters, the custom is failing intottiense.
And why should it not? The farmer's help
is nowrohiefly foreign. Why should the
foreigift ittanger, with scant knowledge of
the laitgaage, with slight acquaintance with
kWh)* and fork, and who did not want to
wash before he ate -why should he place
thin man beside his wife, sons and daugh-
ters?
A farmer hired a -big Swede with a hand
as large as a stove -griddle and about the
same color. The ,farmer's Wife suggested
that the Swede eat in the kitchen, but the
farmer said that all his help had always sat
at table with him, and he saw no reason for
changing; the Swede might not be as bad
as he looked. i On table Was a piece of
beef. The Swede was hardly in Ids chair at
the teble before he reached over, seized the
beef with his hand, tore off a third of it, and
snatching up a handful of potatoes, began to
eat, holding the met in oue hand and the
potatoes in the other. ' When the farmer
remonstrated, the Swede gathered up the
contents o a bread plate, left the table and
Went to the benne where, sitting in the
door, he ate whet he carried with him and
Soon ca.me'back for more, but was met at
the door and supplied. This man was agood
worker and staid through haying, but he
would have nothing to do with knife and
fork or spoon. --
There might be worse things about a man
than contempt for knife and fork, but these
uncivilized acts are all repulsive to the farm-
ers of the country. What is the farmer's
duty toward such a man as this? Accord-
ing to some he should "labor to reform',"
admit to family group and "work him over."
But the farmers generally will not take tide
view.
But there are other men who are not so
rough; they are Men "like ourselven"
What is tole done with them? Shall they
be banished to the kitchen table, and to the
kitchen for evening entertainment? This is
the tendency, and it is causing much dis-
cusion. But the farmer, wherever he is and
whatever his ideas may be, is justified in
denying the stranger admission to his fend-
Ite circle unless he has proper; credentials. -

results not satisfactory. -George Appleton.

Shanty ToWn Savings Bank.
"Please, Miss Pleasante, hoW many pen-
nies have / now in the bank ?"i said Wright -
eyed little Fred. He had earned twO cents
that morning by carrying pare cla for Widow
Smith. At Fred's school a avings bank
had been started. Fred was orking held
to save money enough to buy himself a pair
of new mittens. His eager eyes danced for
i
joy when he was told that he had 25 cents,
and that to -night, after school Miss Pleas -
ants would go with him to buy the new
roittens.
It is not neceisery for us to take this trip
with Fred, as we all know how proud and
manly he felt selecting ancl paying for his
mittene. But let me tell you more about
this savings bank. •
Fred's school was down in Shanty Town.
His school -mates were from the most for-
lorn and wretched homes in the city. Many
of them were destitute of the necessery an-
Iticles of clothing. But that did not keep
them from stopping in the reemeroue candy
stores on the way to school and investing
every penny that they could poeeibly get in
the cheapest kind 'of candy. Miss Pleas -
ants had been presented with more than her
share of these confections, and many werds
of advice had been given to the purchapers,
with no apparent effect. It finally became
quite a serious subject with her. .
Winter had begun; many froet-bitten
hands haa to be ribbed, and little bare toes
were peeping from under the desks. John-
nie, who had no scarfeliad a very bad cough;
but yesterday Johnnie had 10 cents to spend
for candy. --
The idea of a savings bank suggested it-
self to Miss Pleasante. So, during the
morning talk she told the children about her
plans, and when they saw the neat book
with their names written on it, they were
delighted, It was not many days before
nearly all the children had some money in
the bank, and at the end of the first month
new shoen mittens, slates, and 'iother neces
sary articles had been purchased. May
kind adts for schoolmates in eickness have
been dane since this bank has been in exist-
enee, and never before have the children
been so comfortably dressed and provided
with school materials.
Is not Miss Pleasants teaching her little
flock one of the greatest lessons of life -to
take care of the pennies and spend therri
profitably ?-American Teacher.
How to keep Boarders.
5
One of the most common employments of
women is the keeping of boardera. Some
make a success of it, and some do net, for
various reasone. In order to keep your
boarders you should treat them well, and
at the same time avoid putting yourself in
debt for unnecessary expendituree. I can-
not remember the time when we did not
"take in boarders." After coming to us
they generally remained until such time
as they made homes of their own. Per-
haps it might interest some to know how we
treat them. To begin with, as regards
meals, have your breads, meats, butter and
Pitcher's Castoria,
coffee, of the first quality, and if you must
practise ecoaomy, let it be on some of the
fancy- side dishes, and not on any of the
staple foodi. Do not salt, pepper, or sea-
son in any way, the various dishes as all
have not tastes alike, and -It is beet for every
one to suit himself in these matters. Al-
ways serve all mealsicin individual plates, as
this allow(' late comers to have their meas
warm, and saves much grumbling. It is
best to use individual sets for many other
reasona which will be obvious to the board-
ing house keeper.
Show no partiality among your guestnand
strive 88 far as possible to cater to individu-
all tastes. Vary the ineels as much as pos-
sible, remembering, that though some- dish
may be good cooked occasionally, it loses its
charm by being to often repeated, Let
each boarder have a permanent seat at the
table, and make no changes when new ones
arrive, but arrange a new met for them.
Great offence is sometimes caused by chaug-
lug the poaition of chairs at the -table; let
each one "have and hold" an accustomed ,
seat,

A Bad Bargain.
If one man were able to canoe all the
lottery tickets which are leaned in a year
by the One great lottery of the country to
be bought up in Ids interest, in order that
he might be perfectly sure to get all the
prizes, he would receive back twenty mil-
Ituaof dollars in return for forty millions
e Tended, That is to say, he would have
lost outright tweoty millions of dollars, all
of which would have gone into the coffers of
the lottery company.
This statement is based upon the safe
estimate that the annual receipts of the
dattery company are forty millions of dol-
lars, and its payments in prizes twenty mil -
theme It illustrates, as well as anything
could, the folly of buying lottery tickets.
The people of the country, as respects
such an enterprise, may be represented as
one man. As long as they support it they
are annually paying out forty millions to
get back twenty.
This is certainly not an act in harmony
with the supposed sagacity of the American
people. To go on indefinitely paying out
two dollars to get back One ie not exactlk
a bright and business -like proceeding. I

Sentiment of the country at large to brit%
about the entire suppression of this greet
evil. The majority of the people of the State
from which the lottery hitherto has- operat-
ed have done what they could to suppress
it. But in the meantime, rthe common
sense of the people of the whole country,
fully realizing the very bad bargain which
the lottery offers, should so greatly dimin-
ish the profita of the scheme as te render it
vaetly leas powerful in its own locality. -

• The Dog's Decision.
A slight variation of the 'story about the
dog which is claimed by two persons and
which is,allowed to decide betwiken them,
and goes straight to his rightful master,
putting the thief to shame, has beeti re-
corded by the newspapers of the town of
Projeetientent, in Hungary. It appears
that a hard-working knife grinder came to
the police authorities of the town, and re-
ported that a rag picker had stolen his dog
and still had him.
The matter was looked into, and it was
found that the rag picker had in his pot -
session a splendid clog of the variety known
as the Great Dane, of which he could give
no satisfactory account.
The caae was brought into court, and the
judge decided that the dog himself should
settle the matter,
The two claimants were placed at each
end of a long table. The dog was led by a
bailiff, and held by the string at a point be-
tween the judge and the table, and exactly
half -way between the two claimants.'
The judge then clapped his hand three
times, and the two men began to whistle
vigorously to the dog. At the same instant
the bailiff loomed the animal. -
The Great Daue looked at the rag -picker
then at the knife -grinder ; than an One
bound he cleared the table, rushed down an
alele of the court -room and disappeared
threnith the door, to the astonishment of
the court and spectators.
The fact was that the dog belonged to
neither of the contestants.
A Young Man's Chances.
A mother who now sends out a son into
the business world launches him at a- time
when the chances are all in -favor of a young
man, writes Edward W. Itok in the Octo-
ber Ladies' Home Journal. Business men
were never more willing to place large
trusts epoo the shoulders of young men
than they are 'to -day. " Youug blood,' as
it is calledois the life of the modern business
world, and tis everywhere sought. In New
York the demand for the right kind of
young men in all capacities is far greater
than the supply, and what is true of New
York is true of all the large cities. Bear in
mind, however, I say the right kind of
young men, and by that classification I
mean young men who are willing to work,
and work hard. The day of the young man
who works by the clock. eagerly watching
for the hour when the office shall close, has
gone by, even if it ever existed. Hundreds
of young men are energetic in a new position
until its novelty wearsioff and then become
mere machines whose places can be filled at
a day's uotice.
Noimother need have undue anxiety for
the success of a eon who this autumn or
winteit steps out into the business world,
so long as he bears in mind a few essential
pointee,
He must be honest above all things, and
allow nothing to convince him that there
is a compromise between honesty and dis-
honesty.
He must be an out and out believer in the,
homely but forcible saying that a man can-
not chink Whisky and be in business.
He artist, too, decide between being a
society man or a business man; he cannot
be both.
He must make hie life outside the office
the same as in it, and not be p3ssesied with
the prevalent idea that his employer has
no businees to queetion his movements
outside of cffice hours. An employer
has every right to expect his employees to
be respectable at all time, in the office or
out of it.
• On Seizing Opportunities.
Some men are never awake when the
train starts, but, crawl into the station just
in time to see that everybody is off, and
then sleepily say, "Dear me, is the train
gone? My watch must have etopped in the
night !" They always come into town a day
after the fair and open their wares an hour
after the market is over:\ They make their
hay when the sun has left off shining, and
cut their corn as soon as the fine weather is
'ended; tbey cry, "Hold hard !" after the
shot has left the gun, and lock the 'stable
door when the steed is stolen. They are
like a cow's tail, always behind; they take
time by the heels, and not by the forelock,if
indeed they ever take him at all. They are
no more worth than an old almanac; their
time has gone for being of use • but unfor-
tunately you cannot throw them away as
you would the almanac, for they are like the
cross old lady who had an annuity left her;
and meant to take out the full value of it;
they won't die, though they are of no use
alive. Take -it -easy and Livelong are first
musing, they say, and the more's the pity.
If they are immortal till their work is
done, they will not die in a hurry, for they
have not even begun to work yet. • Shiftleis
people generally excuse their laziness by say-
ing they are only a little behind ;" but a
little too late is much too late, and a miss
is as good as a mile. My neighbor Sykes cov-
ered up his well after his child was drowned
in it ; and was very busy down at the Old
Farm bringing up buokete of water after
every stick of the house had been burned.
One of these days he'll be for inaking his
will when he can't hold a pen, and he'll be
trying to repent of his sins when his senses
are going.
Thete slow coaches think that to -morrow
is better than to -day, and take for their
rule an old proverb turned topsy-turvy-
" Never do to -day what you can put off till
to-inorrow." They are for ever waiting un -
bit their ship comes home,and always dream-
ing about things looking up by-and-by,

colive get through the gaps in their bedgen
IfIL the birds would but wait to have salt put
o their tails, what a breakfast they would
take home to their families; but while
things move as fast as they do, the young -
stein at home will have to fill their mouths
with empty spoons. "Never mind," say
they, "there are betteir times coming; wait
a little longer." -"John Ploughman's Talk,"
by C. H. Spurgeon.

"Maria," called Mr. Jones, "what has
become othe mown hewer ?"
"What ?" exclaimed Mrs. Jones.
"I mean the town mawer," corrected
Jones in a high key.
"Jeptha," said Mrs. Jones sternly, "you
have been drinking."
"I have not," asserted Mr. Jones • "can't
you anewer a civil queetion ? Who has
borrowed our lower mawn ?"
Mrs. Jones came down stairs and looked
the excited man over. Then she said
gently:
"Jeptha, if you can't say it, sing it -
You'll get it in that way."
But Jones said he hadn't any voice for
singing just now. -Detroit Free Press.
Bitterness of Single Life.
The failure of young men to marry has
compelled hundreds of thousands of young
women to earn an independent living. All
honor to the girls who work, but the divine
plan was that men should be the bread -earn-
ers and that women should be the center of
homes.
Whenever such a fundamental law of
society as this is violated retribution is in-
evitable.
There are to -day upward of two million
women in the United States who make a
living by professional and personal service,
such as the practise of law and medicine,the
teaching of mueic and ant work, clerical
service of one sort or another in government
and other offices, quite apart from the army
of young women who serve in storesand
toil at mechanical labor.
No one who can look back over a genera-
tion of time has failed to observe the extent
to which women have become independent
bread -earners with in comparatively recent
yeare, aod particularly in those avenues
which education and refined habits of iife
have opened up. It is, in fact, a grave
eooial problem where this thing will end.
It would seem that this, among other
causes, is accomplishing the purpose which
Malthus aimed to teach, for tbe inexorable
conclusions of the statistician can show that
the American and Canadian family is
steadily growing smeller.
If the average number per family hjad
been as great in 1890 as in 1860,there wo Id
have been 6,000,000 people in the Ifni ed
States and $430,000 in Canada above w at
the recent census revealed. This is a ftict
of far-reaching importance and applies its
force in other directions than the subject of
_this article.
Is there a remedy? Certainly there is
none which cen'be easily and readily ap-
plied. Two hundred years ago, guided
largely by the Jeeuites, the zealous King
Louis, of France,.made etern laws for the
government of this young colony in respect
to marriage. He decreed that every father
hevirg a son eighteen years of age or _a
daughter of fifteen should be held account-
able to the state if they were nor married.

An Active Mind.
People Who have passed all their lives in
the steady jog -trot of some regular line can
hardly realize sometimes that it is necessary
to expound one's ideas. But the following
showe tho advautage of having an active
mind..
a' Of what use is all your studying and
your books ?" said an honest farmer to an
ingenious inventor; "they don't make the
corn grow, nor produce vegetables for
market. My Sem does more good with his
plow in one month than you can do with
your books and papers in a whole year."
What plow does your son use ?" said
the inventor, quietly.
" Why, he uses -----'s plow, to be sure.
He aim do' nothing with any other. By
using this plow we save liteilf the labor, and
raise three titnes as much as we could with
the old wooden concern."
The inventor quietly turned over one of
his sheets and showed thidfarmer a drawing
of the lauded plow, saying:
ti I am the inventor et your favorite plow,
and my name is-."
The astonished farmer shook the ingeni•
ous man heartily by the hand, and invited
him to call at the farm house and make it
his home as long as he remained in the
neighborhood.

A Cheerful Face.
Next to the sunlight of Heaven is the
cheerful face. There is no mistaking it -
the bright, the unclouded brow, the sunny
smile, all tell of that which dwells within.
Who has not felt its electrifying influence-?
Ode glance at this face lifts us out of the
mists and shadows,iuto the beautiful realms
of hope. One cheerful face in the house-
hold will keep everything warm and light
withiu. It may be a very plain face, but
there is something in it we feel, yet cannot
exprese, and its cheery smile sends the
blood dancing through the veins- for very
joy. Ah! There is a world of magic in the
plain, cheerful face, and we would not ex-
