A TO SUM STORY. 1 Y M. QI AB. One flight when Zeb White, the 'possum hunter of Tennessee, and I were sitting under a persimmon tree watching for 'possums, he quietly began: “Yo see, I bad bin feelin' onery mean fur a good many weeks. Had a run of fever fust, and when I got over it I had no appetite or ambishun. I was so weak 1 could hardly git outer the house, and nuthiu’ the ole woman could do peared to brace me up. One day it cum to me all of a sudden, and sez I to myself, sez I: “ ’Zeb White, yo’ar’hungerin’ fur 'possum meat, and that’s what’s the matter. Y’o’U never be the man yo’ was 'till yo’ hev a good squar' meal of baked 'possum. That's what'll put fat on yo’r ribs and ambishun in yo’r soul as nothin’ else will.’ “I was too weak to go out huntin’, but I sent fur Abe Mitchell and told him what I wanted. He was a good-hearted critter, and he spent three days ’possum huntin' befor’ he he gin it up. Then he cutns to me and sez. sez he: ” ’Zeb, I've tried my best, but shuck my hide if thar's a possum left in these yere Cumberland mountains! I've hunted and bunted, but I can’t find hide nor ba r of no I 'possum! Can’t yo’ make roast woodchuck fill the bill?’ “ 'Can’t do it, Abe.’ “ ‘Baked coon ar' mighty fine!

eatin’.’ “ ‘Yass, but I'm sot on ’possum, an' ’possum I must hev or I shan't never git well.’ “Then Jim Cumberford be went 1 out and hunted and hunted, and Sol Parker he went out and bunted and hunted, but nary a ’possum did ! they bring in. Jest 'peared like all I the possum crap had dun failed that y ar, and that Tennessee was gwine right to ruin. The longer 1 waited and the mo’ I thought of it the hungrier I got fur 'possum and the meaner I felt about it. Wall, one evenin’ I sot on the doorstep, bein’ I powerful weak, and lickin’ my chops fur 'possum, when the ole woman looks up and sez, sez she: “ ‘Zeb, we’ve dun tried roots and yarns and medicines, but they don’t do no good. Yo’ve got to hev ’pos- i sura meat or I'll be left a widder!’ “‘That’s it, and I feel it in my bones.’ “‘l’ve bin thinkin’, and 1 reckon I’ll pray fur yo' to-night.’ “ ‘As how?' ‘“As yo’ may go o.ut to-morrer ■ and kill a 'possum yo'self.’ “ ‘Reckon it’ll do any good?’ “ ‘Can't say, but I’m hopeful.’ “ ‘But if the 'possums hev all left! j Jhisyere stait of Tennessee?’ : “ ‘Then the Lawd may dun bring ] 'em back agin. Would yo’ be satis- i fled with one 'possum, Zeb, one big, fat ’possum?” s “ ‘Skassly. Reckon 1 want at least three. Ts the Lawd is gwine "5b Send us 'possums we might as well hev three as one.’ i “ ‘That’s so, and as long as I'm I prayin’ it’s jest as easy to ask fur ' fo’ or five as fur two or three.’ “ ‘Make it six, ole woman, as 'pos- I sum hides ar’ now wuth fo’ bits apiece at the store. ’ 1 “ ‘Yo’ wouldn't objeck to seven, ; Zeb?’ “ ‘No, durn my buttons! Tell yo’ what yo’d better do. Jest pray fur ten of ’em, and hev ’em all big and ’ fat. I don't want to be too durned pertickler about it, but’twon’t make < any mo’ prayin’ fur yo’, and as long t as the Lawd is gwiue to send ’em, , we might as well hev a hull drove as to fuss around with a few. I'm no , hog, and yo’ kin tell the Lawd that , we hain’t gwine to say a word ’bout | b’ars and coons and woodchucks. , We'll take it all in 'possums, and then ; that’ won’t be no mixin' up of the ,: meat and pelts.’ “ ‘lt's axin’ a heap, Zeb, bein' as < how neither of us hev bin to church 1 fur ten y'ars, and bein’ as how yo’ ; ar’ powerful free with yo’r cusswords, but I'll take the chances.’ “Wall, stranger, the ole woman 1 went out to the mewl . i ;>■<, p..< : things mighty plain and without any triflin’, and when she cum back ’ she began to grease the handsled. When I seen her doin’ it I sez to het , T ' sez I: “ ‘What’s that greasin’ fur?’ “ ‘Zeb, yo’ ar’ gwine to git them ’possums, and when yo’ fire oS yo’r gun I’ll cum with the sled and draw the varmints home.’ “When I got up next mawein’ I felt pearter than fur six weeks, and arter breakfast I started out. I went up the hill ’bout half a mile and turned into the bresh, and the ■ fust thing I seed was a big, fat 'possum. He slid inter a holler log, and 1 laid down the gun and got ho.t of a stout club. My ole dawg was along, and knowed jest what to do. When I was all ready he went to t’other end of the log and began to fuss, and In about a second a ’possum popped out befo’ me. I killed him and waited fur another, and I kept on killin’, and kept waiting lill I ten. That was the. 1

!’ I Heart Disease 30 Yrs! Short Breath, Palpitation. Mr. G. W. McKinsey, postmaster of Kokomo. Ind., and a brave ex-soldier, says: -I had been severely troubled with heart disease ever since leaving the army at tne Close of tne late war. I was trouoled with palpitation and shortness of breath.’ I couid not steep on my left side, and nad Dam around my heart. I became sb ill that I was much alarmed, and fortunately my attention was called to Dr. Miles* Heart Cure I decided to try it. The first bottle made a decided improvement in my condition, and five bottles have completely cured me." G. W. McKINSEY. P. M.. Kokomo.

number the ole woman had prayed fur, and so I fired off my gun and sat down to rest. Might hev been two minits later, when I heard a scratchin’ and out cum another 'possum to be killed. He jest stood and waited ’till I clubbed him, and then I knowed by the ackshuns of the : dawg that I'd got the last one.” “But how did there happen to be eleven, Uncle Zeb?” I asked. “That’s what bothered me a heap 'till the ole woman cum up with the ! sled, he replied. “Then I sez to her, sez I: “ ‘ Pears like thar was a mistake yere sumwhar'. How many 'pos-i ' sums did yo’ pray fur?’ “ 'Wail. Zeb, I sot out to pray fur ' ten, jest as we dun talked about, | but when I got almost through I i axed the Lawd to throw in one extra, so that I might trade the pelt fur snuff.’ ” ‘And were they all prime, fat ’possums?” I asked. "The primest and fattest I ever did see, stranger, and in two weeks I was a well man ag’in. The storygot around that I had killed ’leven possums to once, and the consekeuce was that folks dun called me the ’possum hunter of Tennessee. Reckon nobody else ever did kill that many'possums toonce.” “And so your wife's prayers were answered?” “ ’Peared like it in that case.” “But was there any other case?” “Thar was. U’nbeknownest to me she prayed the Lawd to send three b ars down outer the hills to us. They war' sent. The durned critters arrove in the night, six hours ahead of time, and what did they do but kill a calf and two hogs and claw my ole mewl ’till I couldn’t put a saddle on him for ay'ar!”—Detroit Free Press.

"The Heart” is the title of an excellent paper lately published. Not until we read this instructive treatise did we have the true con- , ception or how wonderful is the work of the human heort. We quote by special permission of the author the following from the preface : "Very few people have’ever given the attention to their hearts that this important organ warrants. This wonderful little machine which Is not much larger than your hand, and only about two and a half inches thick, labors day and night without rest, performing such an enormous amount of work as to be almost beyond belief. Physiologists say each pulsation, or contraction of the heart exerts 5u pounds of force.which amounts 3,600 a minute. 216.000 an hour, and the inconceivable number of 5,484,000 in a single day! Now. it is necessary that all this vast amount of labor should be done, and well done every day. The health will surely suffer inconsequence of the least failure on the part of the heart to properly perform its duties. When it is weak or deranged it directly affects every organ in the human body and they are unable to perform their duties from lack of blood and nerve force. Those organs that are more intimately associated with the heart are usually first to feel the effects when it is irregular and fails to perform its proper functions.” This treatise is very artistically illustrated with colored plates, and although strlcttly scientific. It Is written in a popular language, making It very interesting reading for all The editor of this paper has made special arrangement with the publishers to have this treatise sent free to any reader who sends a postal card and mentions this paper to The Miles Company. Elkhart. Ind. We want to call your attention to the new Standard dictionary. It is the dictionary f<'r doctors, Lawyers, ministers, business men, teachers and everybody.
