with me every evening, and we rend

to talk with me; 1i:it you hnven't said

"It looks as if tliis conversation
might become as infcrestitiK as any
we ever had. I nlwayn like to fjlve at

to be KctliiiK down to tlio foundation

"Well, I think It is time to look for
a first cause, and it's certainty not my
fault if I am forced to the conclusion
I have Riven."
"No; you are without fault, as 1
have told you very often. Hut, er
may I lie permitted to inquire vlio.c
the fault Is?"
"Yes; you have told ire often
enough that I am without fault, and
that you loved me; but that's what
you used to say. We have been mar
ried three months, and you haven't
told me anything of the kind for for
weeks."
"Really, I haven't seen the occasion
for It."
"Then you admit that my conclusion
Is correct?"
"Oh, I nlinply meant that I have
proved my former assert ii:m, and
th"fe is now less need for repealing
them."
"Proved them?"
"Certainly."
"How?"
"Hy marrying you."
"And having done that gracious
deed, there is now no occasion for
further love?"
"It I have failed to say so. it is not
because you have ceased to prompt
me to."
"Assuredly. T think you will admit
that you have been making the state
ment to mo in the piont positive way,
for at least six weeks, that I do not
Jove you. Now, if it hasn't ber:i to
get me to agree with you, pray what
has it ben for?"
"And you will admir that I V-avc had
reason for saying so?-'
"Excuse nie, my dear (please nut Ice
the term), but I cannot admit that I
have roup nny further in this direction
than you have insisted that I outM to

"Your term is perfectly correct, and
it is ulso perfectly cold. I am sorry

SHEEP SHEARERS OF WEST.
One Man With a Record of 250 Sheep
Shorn in a Day.
Some of tho wandering sheep snear
ers of the western sheep raisinK
e tat eg have Bctiuired wonderful speed.
There Is a record of one man who
sheared 2.r(i sheep in a sinrde day. The
average for each man is about 100.
The men never tie a sheep. They
seize it by the legs with the le.'t hand,
throw It so they can squeeze it firmly
between their legs, and almost before
the sheep has bgun to bleat the
fleece Is falling in great fluffy masses.
As soon ns tho last clip of the shears
ha1 been made the shearer kicks tin
fleece out of his way the struggling
sheep Is released and races off .and an
other one is bundled in.
It Is a great sight to see the wool
wagons go over t';c plains to the near
est shipping point. The distance:! are
so great in many cpses thai it is rec
ossnrv to he' n big a loi'd as pos
sible. Consequently the wagnne are
laden with bags on bags until they are
piled high like towers.
It is a common thing to have a load
so gnat that ten hors have to be
barnfssed to it. and as in any as
twenty-four horses are i:cded some
times. While many of the sh-c! erovc-

One of the picturesque figures of
tho south is lion. John H. Reagan of
Texas, and a fine, stanch old gentle
man ho Is, and last surviving mem
ber of tho associated pilots who tried
to steer tho bark of the Confederacy
Into tho harbor of a national exist
ence, says tho Pt. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Ho snt with a party of friends
during one of the thunderstorms of
last week, and at last ho said, in a
tone of reminiscence:
"I never pass throusn one of these
slorms that It doesn't bring back tho
slego of Jllchmond to my mind. Tho
booming of tho great guns was exact
ly like thunder, and we got so accus
tomed to it that we nltnost ceased to
notice. Str.ingo what people can get
used to. Why, tho town wor.ld turn
out Into the streets nt. night and
watch the bursting shells, very much
as your people watch tho illumina
tion out at tho Pike. Strange that
tho sense of fear and danger should
have worn off, but. it did, and wo
would oven admiro some especially
brilliant burst. Among our party was
a little woman for whom I used to
feel great, pity. She was a beautiful
girl from the north, who had sur
rendered to the chivalry of the south
and had come among us to live sev
eral years prior to the outbreak of
hostilities. Of course, her husband
donned the gray, while her father, a
regular army officer, and two brothers
wore the blue. 'Twas one of these
sad combinations of circumstances
t Ii nt. brought the quartette into direct
opposition before Richmond the hus
band commanding one of the fortifica
tions against which the father was
making determined assault. So ev
ery shot sent the Iron into tho soul of
that, little woman. "Well," I once
said, teaslngly, 'I half believe that,
way down in your heart, you're three
quarters traitor and do some earnest
praying for those blamed Yankees
o-.t there. Now, honest Injun, don't
you hope they'll win?' Quick as n
flash tho little woman replied: '1
don't give the flip of a copper who
wins. I just, hate the whole nasty
old war. All I want is for Tom and
papa and the boys to get. home safe
and sound, and all this horrid noise to
be over and done. It's no way to do
taking all the comfort and Joy out of
life. If I had it to say, every man
would be sont home to-morrow.'
"Now, wasn't that, just like a wom
an." Tho old war horse beamed a
comprehensive smile fiver tho com
pany rrd the observant, woman, wish
ing to know mere, said tentatively:
"And, general, in tho light of
everts, don't you think that would
hrve been a pretty good way to have
settled it?"
Kor a moment there was a great
chunk of silence that the general
brokn with n sigh:
"Eventually that was the way It
wps settled. I thank Cod thai 'tis
settled and forev t, I hope."

"At tho second battle of Hull nun,"
remarked a member of one of tho
New York posts, "the famous Thirty
fifth regiment, from Jefferson county,
K. Y., suffered terribly, and efforts
were immediately made by the friends
at. home to fill its thinned ranks.
Among the first to, spring to its reycue
was one Augustus Hiiol, who was
famous as a hunter In John Hrown'B
tract, and distinguished for being a
capital fellow and nn excellent marks
man. His uncle, Deacon Weatberhy,
met Gus a day or two after hu had
enlisted, and said:
" 'Well, Augustus, I understand you
have enlisted in the Thirty-fifth?'
'"Yes, uncle, I have," was tho reply,
'and I nm to start for the regiment
to-morrow morning.'
"'That's right, my boy; that's
right,' continued the deacon. 'I am
very glad you have enlisted, and you
have my prayers and blessings. And
now. Augustus, boy. let me give you a
little advice. When tho order Is
given to advance fin the rebels, I
want you, my dear boy, to remember
the (scriptural injunction, 'It is more
blessed to give than to receive.' "
Grant's Marvelous Memory.
Gen. Grant's retentive memory was
simply marvelous, more especially to
those most closely associated with him
from day to day. In the midst of
nbsoibing thought, nnd with appar
ently unobservant, manner, bis quic';
ear and eye seemed to hear and no
tice everything, and two weeks oi
months later the slightest details had
not f scaned his attention er memory.
This power was unmistakably demon
strated In a game of whist with hit
eticst. Major Gen. Doyle, of the liiil
i'i army, between Haltimore am'
Fortress Monroe. Two stafT ofli'-ers
cutcpleiid the players. Willi Gen.
Doyle at bis rit-'ht. It was simply anin-l-ig
to discover Grant's ability to
cover strategic points. He ri"i r

To allay tiielr fears and make friends
tobacco was filtered them, which on
