HOftY V HATTY ft say that it was better to avoid them altogether and we agreed witih them after a certain inci dent that occurred in March Addison and I were getting out birdseye maple lumber from one of the forest lots of the old farm to defray school expenses The lot was five miles from the farm house and we camped out there in the woods for ten days with one heiper a young man named Asa A younger brother named was working for the old squire on the This Abner hen about twenty ytfars old and very bright in his own concert had been much given playing on Addison and me as well as on his older brother Asa While we were up there at the lot we killed an old bear that just emerged from her winter den and when we left camp we the carcass home- on a sled It was after dark that evening when we reached the farm the barn chores for the night were done and the folks all in the house through the lighted win dows we could see them in the sitting room Theodora reading a story and the rest listening among them Shall we call them out to see he bear Addison asked Asa with a glance inside I know something a on Ab with it He has to go out early morning to feed the cattle you know Lets put this hear in the barn where Ab will run on to him in the dark Addison and J had no objection and so quietly through the yard we opened the barn dour waked Addison and me Something is wrong below Addison said for we plainly heard the sound of a ramrod driving down a ball cartridge With that we rose in haste and going down came upon the old gentleman in the act of capping the gun what is the matter we asked at once Boys theres a bear in the barn he exclaimed in consid erable excitement gave a siramefaced look at me and then of course we made a clean breast of it As a rule the old squire was very patient with all our youth ful pranks but this time he was angry His faded blue eyes snapped For a moment he said nothing then set musket carefully away and remarked If studying Latin and going to school are you noth ing better than to play pranks on your grandmother at dead of night you had out on a farm And now one of you hitch up tfnd go get Dr am afraid your grandmother is seriously hurt Fortunately for our peace of the old ladys injuries did not prove serious And that Abner slept through the whole thing and came down smil ing the next morning A Stevens confessed that she weeping because she was disappointed in her whom she had mar ried only a short time before She said thatwhen his meals were not ready on time lie seemed to lose his temper and said things which were unbecoming a preacher of the gospel She thought that when she married a preacher she was marrying a saint and she was disappointed at the way he was turning out We feel almost sure that this must have been a preach er for our Methodist brethren seem singularly fortunate in se curing wives who cart- get up a good dinner and serve it on lime And we are inclined to think that if hid looked up her husband she would have found that he too was just a little dis appointed He also doubtless thought he was marrying perfec tion and when the meals began to go wrong the very first thing possibly he also was just a little disappointed that his good wasnt a better manager No doubt the preacher was to blame for saying things but possibly are convincing him that the rush to Canada will be something enormous as soon as shipping becomes available SANITARY t A small boy had a had cold and snuffed abominably to the great annoyance of the other pas sengers in tbe car in which he was riding Finally
