\ \ Widow's Inconsistency
j ~J)
[Copyright. 1906. by P. C. Eastment.]
The Willow Heuderson employed a
hired man to run thiugs, and she hadn't
been a widow Ave months when he quit
hoeing potatoes one day to come up
from the field and mate her an offer
of marriage. She indignantly orderod
him to pack up and move along, and
before night he was gone.
Hired man No. 2 was told to take
warning by the fate of No. 1, and he
restrained his love until one day after
her year of mourning was up. The
widow had bought a new cow, and the
cow turned out to be a kicker. When
I she had knocked the hired man oft the
I milk stool three times In succession
i and he was running for a fence rail
j to pound her to a Jelly the widow came
' out to the barnyard and said:
"It's all your fault, Joe. I can milk
that cow night and morning for a year,
and she will never stir a hoof."
She took the pail and stool and sat
down. She had been milking for five
j minutes and was just about to look
! around with a smile of superiority on
j her face when the cow's right leg shot
I out like the piston rod of an engine,
I and the widow and the pall and the
| stool went end over eud and brought
up against the fence.
j Joe rau over to pick the woman up
? and say something about her smart
ness, but she was unconscious. Then
he dropped down on his knees and
begged her to come back to earth for
his sake. He loved her like a mad
Niagara and couldn't live without her.
He seized her hand and pressed it; and
in his emotion he even went so far as
to print a kiss on her marble brow,
j But It was one kiss only. While ha
j was puckering his mouth for a second
one the widow awoke from her solar
plexus blow and rose up and kicked
him harder than the cow had kicked
her. He started to hunt another Job.
| A third hired man took his place. He
knew of the fate of his predecessors,
and yet not two months had gone by
when he put his foot into the same
bear trap. He had fallen In love at
first sight, but had been very careful
not to show It. His suspenders held
him until one day he got a third drink
of hard cider, and then he tried to take
the Vvldow's hand and tell his love. He
cot the hand against one of his sun
bmued ears. He also got the bounce.
When hired man No. 4 brought his
trunk the Widow Henderson decided to
leave nothing to chance. She looked
him square iu the eye and said:
"I want no nonsense. The minute
you begin to play the fool I'll begin to
bounce you. I am hiring you for a
hired man and not for a husband."
"You refer to the men who have de
parted?" queried the man. whose name
was Tom Parker and who neither look
ed nor acted like the average hired
man.
"Yes. sir, I do."
"They were idiots enough to fall In
love with you. I understand?"
"I don't know as there was anything
so Idiotic about their falling In love
with me." answered the widow, a bit
provoked, "but I want no such tom
fool nonsense."
"And you shall have none from me.
I wouldn't marry the 'best woman that
ever squinted up her eyes to thread a
darning needle."
The widow had set out to tell the
new hired man what was what, and
I when she came to think It over she
| couldn't figure that she had got the
best of It. He knew his business as a
hired man and attended to It. While
I he was of the family, he was not with
I It. He kept to himself as much as poe
i alhleu _j?hjj? respectful and will
[
ue wtib quite lot lulu. TDe widow
?tood It for a couple of weeks and then
began to feel piqued over It. The only
one she bad to consult with was ber
hired girl, and one day she said to her:
"Don't you think the new hired man
? queer acting fellow"
"He's very standoffish, I see. He
hasn't asked me two questions since
be came."
"The others used to ask you about
me, didn't they?" queried the widow.
"A hundred questions."
"And they said I was smart and good
looking?"
They were forever saying so, and I
can't understand about Thomas, as be
makes me call him."
The widow couldn't either. She want
ed o marrtage proposals, but she did
want to feel that she was of some ac
count in the hired man's eyes. It
miffed her to find that Parker treated
her as Indifferently as the well Bole,
though with the greatest respect, and
that he preferred to sit in his own
room of an evening rather than enjoy
her society In the family room. She
discovered that he was -better educated
than she was, had good business Ideas
and that he could beat ber all hollow
at buying and Belling. She bad a rag
to chew, and she chewed It for many
long weeks. She had threatened to
bounce him If he fell In love with her,
and now she was mad because he
hadn't.
As she chewed she found herself ad
miring and liking, and one day when
the was churning the butter It came
over her all at once that she was actu
ally In love. Butter went up to 40
cents a pound In sixty seconds, and the
hired girl found the widow blushing
I like a girl of slzteen. When the butter
| had come and been poured out of the
| churn the blushing woman walked out
on the veranda, where Parker sat
| sharpening an ax, and, walking up to
I him, she asked:
"Do you really think those other men
were Idiots?"
"For falling In love with you?" he
eaked without raising his eyes.
"Y-yes."
"Well, perhaps not."
"You? you mean"?
"I mean this," said Tom as he rose
op and kissed her. M. QT.'ATV
Madison's Mint Julep Bet.
Among the trees at the edge of the
lawn on the right hand side of the
house as you face the mountains James
Madison built an icehouse. This was
In 1809, ?? ud It was the first Icehouse
In Orange county, Va. Ice In summer!
His servants were incredulous. And he
bet his overseer an iced mint Julep on
the Fourth of July, against which the

The Last Versailles ooaroon.
There is at Versailles au orange tree
some five centuries old. This tree,
which was taken from Foutainebleau
of Versailles on the completion of the
orangery, was already famous undet
the title of the Grand Bourbon. Ac
cording to tradition, the tree had been
planted in 1421 by a Princess of Na
varre and after several changes ot
owners came Into the possession of
Francois I., by whom it was placed at
Fontalnebleau. When It reached Ver
sailles the king came to visit it, and
two grand Bourbous were then face to
face. The man passed, and even hll
bones, torn from their tomb at St.
Denis and tossed Into a trench, have
perished. Not a pinch of his dust re
mains. But the tree lives and blooms
and bears fruit, the only Bourbon at
Verer.illes, serene, invincible, enthron
