A Howard County Man Comparts Hi Promt with the X"ay Hit Yovth: Chas. Seward in Kokomo Gasette-Tribune.' I am a man past three-score and ten, aad confined to the house at the present time with infirmities incident to old age. I bu ve been refloating, whilo thus confined, over my past life, and in my humble-way comparing the days of the present with the days of my boyhood when I was permitted to wear, Sunday and alt other days clothes made of flax by my father aad mother, with such help from us children as we were able to give. We sowed, palled and rotted tbe Sax. Then father would break it, and mother and X would take a clap-board, shut pen one end and drive it in the ground. Then, with a wooden knife, something In the shape of a eommon corn knife, we would knock the broken shivet from the flax and, ob, bow proud 1 was when I got so I could dress more of the indispensible arliole than my mother; and how' superlatively ,: grand asd proud I W4S' in my new suit .made of this fine material made of flax and flaxtvwr-one for underwear and the, other pants, and perhaps a liusy coat, If we bail enough flax for it. Now I wish to say right here, not that I want to mingle in politics, but those ware the days of tbe good old Democratic times when Martin Van Burea aad free trade was the ruling power. But I am I net yet quitadone with the story of these good old times. I well remember tbe voice of that good old mother when the babes were fretful and demanded care and attention. Hianefpun linen could ' not be used for every article of babies' clothing. I remember of going to town one day to get a dress for the baby. Be fore startinu, brother and I bunted the place all over, gatheriag up the egg. Sggs were up then, father sard, and we must be sure and get all of tham. They brought 3 cents a docen that day, aad calioo that would de was down to 26 cents a yard. Twe yards were required to make the baby's dress. Bo, you see, it only took sixteen dozen and eight eggs to pay for tbe baby's calico dress. But again. There is another little girl, aad she must have a dress, far aunty is com
ing noxt Sunday, and it would be too bad fur bar not tu hkva Mn too. Ho mother
ay1 "Father, can't you spare some
cbaogo to get ber a Cress T" w ita a sign,
essays: "JMo, JSIIen; 1 have no money; times are hard, you know." Wo then tried another plan. Mother says: "Then if you do not inre, 1 will take a few pounds of that flax. It's worth 6 cants' a pound. Fire pounds will be 30 cents ; and I have saved a little lard it's A eents
pound. Five pounds is SO cents." It
took two and a hair yards of calico foif the dress, or Oil. cents. WV still IncVjed . r 1 r ' I I . I. J . .
