[Copyrijht, 1908, by T. C. McClure.l
Jed Parksr had been courting Mary
Stevens for a year when be went to
her father to ask the usual question.
Jed was a young and worthy farmer
living at the top of Golden hill, and
Jim Stevens, as lie was familiarly call
ed. lived In the village at the foot of
the hill and was a contractor. His
work was In the country around more
than In the village, lie was well
liked, hut people said he had some odd
Ideas. Jed Parker humped up against
one of those odd Ideas as soon as he
had stilted his ease to the father.
"I.ook here. Jed." was the reply. "Of
course I know that you have Ih'cii
hanging around hen- a good deal, and
I reasoned It out that Mary was the
attraction. You are spoken of as a
tine young man. and 1 have no objec
tion to you as a sou- In-law. I cannot
say yes. however, until you have done
something to distinguish yourself. 1
had killed a mad doc. shot at a horse
thief and licked a lightning roil mau
before I was your age. I like you.
Jed, but I want a hero for a sou-ln
law, and the sooner you toe the mark
the soouer you and Mary can get mar
tied."
Jed didn't kick over the traces and
raise a row. but came to the house as
usual. Things were In stntu quo when
December and the snow and Ice came.
< ioldeu hill was a pretty steep hill, uud
the road winding up was half a utile
long. In winter, when tlx* road was
slippery, teams went a mile arotiud
rather than go up or down. Such of
the village boys as had the ambition
to drag their sleds to the top came
down with such momentum that they
were carried through the village and
to the foot of a hill on the other side.
Mr. Stevens had In his employ as
contractor a gang of Italians. As win
ter came on they were Just tJulshlug up
grading the highway three tulles away.
There was some misunderstanding
about the pay for overwork. They
made threats, but the coutractor re
fused to l?e bulldozed. They hung
about the village, muttering and men- |
acing. and finally decided to take the ;
law Into their own hands. At 7 o'clock |
one evening a deputation called at Ste- i
\ens' house and captured him liefore i
he knew what whs up. He was taken i
<>iit on the street and told that he must I
either pay or hang. The villagers pith j
ered. but they were not strong enough !
i?> interfere. It was then that Mary j
sent a boy speeding 'ip the long hill t" 1
Inur the news to .led.
"Go as fast as you can." she said.
"Tell Jed that they are going to hang
father. Tell him to come to the res
cue. Tell him that I sent you. . Tell
him It's his chalice to lie a hero. Kiiii
as you never rati before, and III give
yoy ii dollar." s
"What's a hero?"
"Never mind, but tl.v!"
The road was packed with snow aud !
Ice on top of that, but the boy got
there.
"By gosh!" was Jed'* only reply, and i
lie begun 'o hustle.
lie had been drawing uj> wood that
afternoon, mid the bobsleds were lu
front of the house. He got his over
coat and fur cap and the family din
ner horn, a tul as he dragged the sled
down to the highway he sold to the
hoy:
"Jim. we are golug down the hill
a-kltlng. You sit in front and begin
blowing the horn as soon as we start. ,
Blow, blow, blow! I la uk on and blow. I
I'll sit Itehlnd and steer. Now, then,
we're off."
The contractor was a man with
.-and. Even when he saw the ropes In
ilie hands of the excited and deteruiln
?d gang he would not give In. They
led him over the bridge to the foot of
the hill, and as he was still obstluate
they prepared to hang hliu to a handy
limb. In fact, they did hang him.
There were thirty lu the guug. and
while some kept back the villagers
villi their knives the others pulled on
tl.e rope and made It fast. Just as
there was every prospect that the
lynching busluess would be an un
qualified success the blare of a horn
was heard lip the hill, accompanied by
screeches and yells. Jed and the boy
and the bobsleds were coming. They
came like a runaway locomothe. The
crowd hadn't time to take lu the situa
tion when the sled was upon then).
It plowed through them like a shovel
through Hour. It ran over some; It
flung others twenty feet away; It sent
I others sky high. There was scarcely
a man left ou his feet wlieu the sled
had passed, and this was the moment
, when Mary and a citizen or two came
up and lowered the wriggling body.
Over tb ? bridge and through the vil
lage and half n tulle lieyond went the
runaway, and by the time Jed got
buck to the bridge oil foot the eon
tractor had been carried to his own
house and a doctor was working over
him.
As for the gang, no one was killed,
but there were broken legs and arms
and bruises galore, aud the town was
little better thau a hospital for the
next month. There were two doctors
lu the town, aud they had twenty-six
patients to look after. Four duys
after the hanging Mr. Stevens sent for
Jed aud took him by the hand and
asked:
"Have you and Mary settled on the
day ?"
"But I? I thought I had got to be
come a hero first?" stammered the
young man.
"But If you ain't one then I'll never
run auother chalk line for the dagoes
to follow! Lord, boy, if Napoleon had
gone down the other side of the Alps
on bobsleds he could have scattered
the enemy without firing a single
?hot!" M. QUAD.
Humor and Philosophy
By DUNCAN M. SMITH
ll ,
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
Duty has h very l>:td habit of ap
petising at such Importunate (lutes and
! undesirable places.
i Most of us are rather fond of crltl
i clstn If we are the wise people who
are passing It out.
I If circumstances arc not favorable to
i you, send them Imrk to the factory and
1 demand others.
esty In this country, hut the consensus
of opinion seems to he that a lot of it
Isn't working,
The man who presorllies for your
poekefiMvtk Is generally thinking of
his own.
The person with a hot weather tein
per and a cold weather manner repre
seats an extreme that Is pleasant to
avoid.
The way some girls dress and act Is
enough to make Cupid go way off and
commit suicide.
Not every mail who tries to he
friendly Is after your dollar. Some may
even he trying to add to your store, so
be an optimist.
Taking All the Credit.
Some pleasant gentlemen who live
Where climate Is their staph- pride,
The subject (hat they talk about
I'ntll the sufferer wants to hid*.
Take credit almost personal
For sunny du>s and balmy air.
As thotigh unaided and alone
They put the dandy climate there.
You'd think they had been hanging
round
And working when the earth was
made
At making climate for tin; ?;*>(.
As though it wero their special trade.
Th it with I lie sunshine and the wind
They mixed the right amount of rain
And made the climate that you see
With very little sweat or strain.
Though ll was perfect at the start.
They modified ll just a shade
By planting out u lot of trees
I'ntll you see It now, handmade.
Their own and special property.
(if which they have u right to brag
And every time i> stranger looks
To tie on it the premium tag.
And that Is not the worst of It;
They want to lord It over you
Because the climate Is so tine
And round them is a pleasant view.
As though they were of different clay.
A better and a higher grade,
Becajsi they happen to reside
Where climate is the stock In trade.
Much Better.
"Yes." said Miss Previous loftily,
?we have electric faus In our house.
I tell you they
arc Hue things on
ii warm day."
??Indeed," re
plied Miss Catch
up. "they must
lie very lovely.
We haven't any
at our house, and
I have to be sat
isfied with being
fanned by the
young men who
call arouud evenings."
Reason to Be Proud.
| "What iu the world Is the matter
with you? Your cheeks are swelled to
twice their normal size, and your eye Is
a beaut."
"Oh. I Just had au argument with a
bumblebee."
"Who got the better of the argu
ment?"
"I feel that I did. Can't you see that
1 am all swelled up about It?"
Perfectly Good One*.
"I thought y<iu were going to hire a
man to look up ? ancestors."
"1 was. bill I found I could buy a
new set that h.:d never In en used f. >r
half the money."
".Still, i hey woiiid-.i'i I e yours."
"They would ii 1 bough, them Be

Ccn'r.; ieui.
"Tell ine one thing."
"What is It?"
"Do vou believe all yon say?"
"Certainly."
"Why?"
"Just to set a good example for the
other fellow."
Using His Old Clothes.
"Yes, he Is a gentleman of the old
school."
"Likes the ancient customs best?"
"No, but he Is stocked up on clothes
to tit them and cau't afford flew ones."
In the Bill.
"Did the doctors take your terapera
tnre?"
"I don't know. Has It any value?
They took everything I had that was
worth taking."
Deceptive.
"May souud good, but It Is a danger

"What does he follow t"
"Safe blower."
