"He never was our uncle, really," explained the future hunter, "only going to be. Hut he was real nice, and I don't see what Auntie dill wanted to go and afcangC him for. It's just like wouicn nd girls." "I'sc sure Auntie Jill wouldn't be nauglitv, eer." snid loyal Habs, indignantly "Then w hat is she crying for?"

And kind hearted little' Hal.s threw herself along the rug and sobbed "I'll tell you what we ll do," said Ilex. fter he had southed her with two hisses, a marble, a "conqueror." and half an apple stolen out of the diningroom. "We'll go mid tell I tide Jack that auntie's crying awful and he'd better come and say he's sorry else no otic won't love him ever any more." "h, Wex.' cried Hubs rapturously Wouldn't it be benuful!

So Hex tiptoed on a ehali tor the hat, and primed the popgun .. a protection against lions and robbers

So the aut iiinii nftet - nana srai t uenlag to aeening a hen they ynaohad the tish pond where Uaote Jsck ought tu be. Hut no jolly uncre apptared perhaps his inamiiia hud nit him in the cupboard, liecausc he was so naughty and made Auntie Jill cry . Kcx and Iksbs began to feel cold and tired. "I wis I wis we had a lot of tea," lamented Bahn, , "Perns pa we shall eOtne to a camp," said Hev consolingly . "truveleis always do. Then they will give Us BOBM buffalo cooked in a pot on t hrcc st icks over the tire, ami tell us where I licit-Jack is." So they trudged on, cheerf ill ly, a little further. Hui it got so dusk, and the cows looked so large ami wild in the fulling light thai the) Blight almost be real buffaloes which ate wry different from play ones, as everybody knows. Hab's shoe stuck in the mud, and couldn't be found, and hex fell in Mime stinging nettles, and they both got scratched scrambling' through a hedge. So M)or little (lolden-hair sut

Of course, he ought to take then straight, home, but a wicked smile crossed the old man's lips they had come out In Änd I'ncle Jack, and perhaps it would bs a geod thing if they found him. He had seen him walking distractedly about in Bleep) Hollow a few minutes ago, nnd hSf knew somet hing about lo ers' quarrels. W hy, when he was courting I'ame Margery,
4U years ago, they parted forever OBe a month! Hut he didn't tell the J oiingsters any thing1 about this, only took up Babe on his broad shoulders, and w alked along' so fast that Hex had to trot to keep up w Rh him. "Why does you lautfh, Misscr Hurton?" inquired Habs. "Oh. because you're such a funny little girl to go hunting buffaloes." "Hut it was e at was goin' to shoot em." npoloirizeil s,e. "Ob. I bej; his pa rdon," Haiti the jov ia 1 old farmer. "I'ei baps he would like to stop behind and shoot them now?" Hut hc thought they'd better be getting home as it was so late, buffaloes, he admitted, in his private mind, were not so nice to hunt in the dark. As tiny were CCOMing the hollow, a big gentleman came striding along. "Hen's J acta Jack!" they both exclaimed at once "W by. Habs Rex!" cried he in amae ment. "Whatever "Oh. they've come to look after you. Mr. .lack." said old Hurton, solemnly . "They'll tell you all about it. Perhaps you'll see 'em home as it is getting late." So saying he disappeared over a stile with remarkiiiil.- agility for Iii years and sic. All the way home he laughed, until Hover thought that he must be going mad, like some ill-balanced dogs in hot weather. All that evening he chuckled to himself, until hisdameeon tided to the hired man that the muster had something mi his mind for certain; uiul the hired man thought that "incbbe he'd had an offer for the heifer." Hut not formally a long day did be tell the story of the hunters. "W ell, y on y Bttttg pickles! " said Jack, who used to he um de, "w hat t he d ickei s are you doing here'.' W hat the deuce am I to iin wiiii uin?" he added, ander his breath, as he shouldered the girlie. Habs looked at Hex. and Hex looked at Habs. "We were looking for you." said the hunter at length " 'Cause we fort " said t he huntress; snd then she. too. Stopped. Uncta Jack stalled dissaall) and kissed them both. "W ell '.'" he inquired. "We 'speeted you'd been naugh'y," explained Hex. "To Auntie .111," added Ilabs. " 'cause she's lien ewy in'." "Awful!" suid Hex, solemnly. "An' we 'speeted you'd he solly," pleaded Habs, cuddling up to him. "Klse no one wouldn't love yon," put in Hex. emphatically, feeling that his advancing years justified a judicial attitude Jack hesitated and S (pieer lump cam up in his throat. Jill was a tiMSOMM little tease. It hadn't been altogether his fault. Bat Jill crying! Dear little Jill! "Wim It Ml ) "'I tO come?" said he, looking puzzled. "Nobody ." i .w Bred Hr.

Cook was blinking over the kitcken fire about ":hem children" till she let thing's burn, and mamma was sobbing on the sofa in the drawingroom because she was not Well enough to get up. PaOf Auntie Jill was moat wretched of all. because she bad cried nil her tears away in the afternoon am) had none left for the babies. What a shout of delight went up as they came in through the open door! Dada snatched up his boy and bbmubib called eagerly for them from the drawing-room, so .lack followed In with Habs ball asleep In his arms. Dada and mamma looked nowhere but at the children, whilst .lack and Jill looked everywhere but at each other. Then Hex und Habs laughed and chattered and began ta explain natters, "We're fi tidied Uncle Jack." saM Hex, in a matter-of-fact tone, "tu see Alltitle Jill. And he's going to take u- fishing- to morrow afternoon, if you'll let him." "An he's goin' to be so welly, welly good," asserted Habs, emphatically, "at Auntie. lill won't be solly and ewy not ever any more." Mamma looked astounded and Auntie Jill found just one tear to eotne hall out of each ey e -for it hadn't been all Jack's fault, really, yon know. Jack stepped a little nearer to her and half held out one band nnd half didn't. "Don't tie silly, children; you do not understand," said mamma, reprovingly. Hut dada smiled one of his quiet smiles, as. taking one little one up on each knee, he sat down on the sofa beside mamma. "I think they do," said he. Then .lack got very near Jill and took hold of both her hands. "My dear little Jill." said he. rather brokenly. And she put her head on his shoulder and cried and said but really it isn't fair to tell wdiat she said. Anyhow it must have been satisfactory to Bes and Babe, lot those young stamps laughed with glee at the prospect of unlimited fishing and ball, and swings, and pennies, now that .lack that-ii-ed-to-bc-unele-t hat was-to-be was reinstated.

TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION. I'renli Air flic llesl lree r I it Ion foi Weill. I.iiiik. Hy those who renumber the cruel disappointinc t and the dashing of hopes which followed the i.nnouneement seven years ago that Koch had discovered a cure fur consumption, the news of the preparation of unother remedy by him wi". not lie hailed with unmixed delight. It Is possible that a real remedy for this disease nisy be found some day . and w hen it is we may be sure that there win be little delay In its adoption by physicians; but the premature publication of these alleged "i iiri1" is greatly to be regretted because of the misery and heartrending sorrow which their failure causes to thousands of disappointed sufferers. Hut while waiting for the discovery of a cure for consumption, vve can use one which we have at hand in abundance, nnd without com to the patient. Freak air. freak air, and more fresh air is the chief prescription for one whose lungs are weak, though fresh sir, like any other remedy, is of no service noless it is taken into the body. For this purpose exercise out-of-doors is needed - -exercise, often to the point of fatigue, in order to force the breathing, expand the lungs, and fill t hem with pure air. It has been stated by a Huston physician that the use of t he bicycle has lessened theamount of oon-unipt ion among women, and if this is so, the explanation is not far to seek. Devotion to the bicycle lead women to exercise in the open air, and more energetically than would be possible for most of them in tiny other way . In Denmark the postmen often have very long pontes in the country regions, and arc obliged to walk or ride many mile a day in all kinds of weather; but Undesirable as such positions would seem tO be. tkey are eagerly sought after, and of all men, by consumptives who want to get well. It has been proved that the work is life-aing, for, despite the hardships and the exposure to w .nl and rain ami snow, almost all the invalid wlio adopt the life become robust and hearty. Of BOnree, to be effect ive, qen-ai r exen isc must be begun early in the course of the disease, and should always bs carried out under the direction of a wise physician, since it must usually be suppii raeatsd be the ana of tontas snd other remedies. A irreat many are cured in this way
' unknown to themselves, for phyto taf
tell us that a large proportion of thne Who die from oi her causes are found to present the signs in their langl of cured consumption, and there is little doubt that the cure has been effected by nsture's remedy, of which the patient haa unwittingly availed himself Youth's Companion.

because so great a quantity of the goods on which rates are highest nnd have In en increased most has been imported In advance under the lower ratet of the late law. The average may reach the figure given, because many of the increased und hig-hest rates arc prohibitory, or nearly so. and the actual average will be brought down by the coniparat i v ely large importation of goods oo which the duties are lowest. Bnt for the purposes of fair comparison it is proper to figure on the basis of imports under the comparatively low tariff. So far as the actual average may be less than that figured on the basis of imports of the difference viii represent privation canaed by the monstrous Dingley rates. It will ii can that the people have been forced by the "prosperity " law to wear less woolen clothing nnd mure shoddy and cotton. And so of other articles of necessity and comfort. As prices advance nil along the line the people will begin to sec that the new law means prosperity for the mill bosses at their expense.

St. Louis Republic. Prosperity? Why, certainly. Ree how much more the American laborer is to be permitted to pay for the necessities of life. Nowhere else in the world can be found such glorious privileges as those of the citizens of the 1'nited States under a high republican protective tariff. Tammany Times. To the man who is hungry. Idle and in despair, it seems a mockery to be told that the country Is In the enjoyment of unexampled prosperity. When
good times come everybody will know It without being told. Does anybody know of anybody who is resisting the eomlrujr of prosperity? Columbus (0.) Press. President McKinley was reported aa nayinff at Ointon, ()., that "the prospect of a good wheat crop means a return to prosperity very soon." This sounds very like flat heresy against the protectionist faith. It is impossible, according to the economic gospel of which Mr. McKinley bus been the gTeat evangel, that a good wheat crop should bring prosperity. Prosperity can onlv be the child of protection.-- N. Y. World. While all the people, with the exeeption of a few wealthy Americans who can afford to go abroad for the purchase of their wardrobes, e4c. nre compelled to pay tariff duties on all foreign articles they purchase, the rich, who can best nfford to pny the duties, and who should pay the largest proportion of them, have, as a rule, paid no tribute to the jrovernment.

GOOD TIMES AND WHEAT, at VastMaea irita beste nd WM Maker. Peop'.e may differ as to the relation the passage of the Dingley tariff bill uwiy have to the evident indications of the revival of huidnes and the return of prosperity, but uo one has a doubt that wl . ,i the niowt important element among the mony that are bringing about a brightened outlook and preparing the way for "good times." The BB tt lernen I of the tariff agitation for at least four years will give the markets an opportunity to adjust themselves to stable conditions a thing most desirable in the business world. Hut this stability ia largely a negative factor, while the big crop in the United States, and especially the big crop of wheat, is a posit ive factor thai is makingits influence felt more strongly i . . ry day. A record crop of wheat in thia country, coupled with short crops in most of the other grain-producing eountriesi of the world, is a conjunction of circumstances that cannot fail to be advantageous to American fanners. While the shortage in Russia, the Argentine RepobHc, Australia. India and other countries is now said to amount to about one-tenth of the world's crop, the Dalted State wheat growers, who fortunately overplanted their probable
f.rarket by ubout T.'.niiU.oniMiusJie,-. w ill
nrofit creatlv by this extra demand.
The department of agriculture esti
mate the total wheat crop or tne United State this year at 460.000.000
bushels, or 32.000.000 bushels in excess of that of last year. A biff surplus wheat
crop and an advancing price is the con-
dition that is now making glad tue American farmer from the Allegheniei
to the Pacific coast.
Throughout the grain belt of the United States the crop of wheat is not only the largest since 1891, but is now
safe, while the European crop, on the
contrary, is the smallest since 1801. Expert statisticians estinnate that the exportable surplus in the United Rtatea this year is 1S5.OO0.000 bushels, as compared w ith 145.OOo.00O bushels lust year, a balance of 40,000.01)0 bushels over last year to aid in bringing good times. Compared with the millions of dollars the wheat crop wiU bring to America this year, the riches thus far taken from the Khindyke mines are infdgniflcant. Kansas, Texas, Nebraska and Colorado and the west generally ore already beginning to feel the good results of a most satisfactory year in agrecnlture. Nebraska 5s said to have paid off from $"ä,(H)0.OlM) to $.10.000.000 of its mortgage indebtedness owing to the good crops nnd prices of last year and this yesr. Kansas is atao paying off its mortgages, and the moving of the great grain crop is giving more i nip! y ment nnd profits to the rail roads, to merchantR nnd all classes of business. Doubtless Mr. Dingley will look upon the big wheat crop in the United States as an Indication tnat Providence is on the side of protection. In fact, most high protection papers are already pointing to the undoubted improvement of business conditions as s result of the new tariff law. The coincidence of big crops and foreign demand for our cereals with the enactment of a tariff whose average duty rnte as compared with that of the Wilson law isas 54.06 to 40.10 is at lenst fortunate for the country, even thoutrh it is unfortnnnte for the logic of tariffmakers who claim thrat all blessings flow from protection. Chicago Heeord (Ind.). TARIFF IS ALL A Poller That Don Not Help th People. The currency question is not regarded as a serious one by republicans generally. There are some who, like the president, think that the federal financial system ought to be doctored; many more who are indifferent on the subject, and not a few who insist that there is no need for any action looking to financial reform. The senate did not think the matter important enough to justify a few hours' extension of the special session, nnd the president's message recommending the establishment of a commission was not over-courte-ously received by that body. The administration doubtless has reason to regard itself fortunate in getting a tariff bill passed, for it is to be, noted thnt the president signed the Dingley bill in such haste as to suggest that he was haunted by a fear that if be wasn't quick about fastening executive sanction on it it might get nway. The tariff is, therefore, all that is to be hoped for just now in the way of relief from conditions that invited the concern and activity of the administration. The protectionists say that the tariff is enough ; that all good is bound up in the new law, and that the country can now settle down and enjoy the prosperity that is sure to follow the establishment of Dingleyism as n policy. Thousands of the supporters of the "advance agent" insist that this new law ia not what they voted for, but it is quite likely that the protectionist leaders know better tbon they do what they voted for. It seems to be held that if they didn't vote for it they ought to have done so, and that if they don't like it it is because they don't know what Is good for them. The new tariff is a fact, any way, nnd we must make the best of it whether w e like it or not. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, lapsing into a satirical mood, suggests that "everybody get rich by paying taxes and then bless the tsriff. Don't," It says, "stop to think s minute about the necessity of having money with which to pay the taxes; that is n minor consideration. It is far more important that the trusts should have the privilege of collecting subsidies than that the money question b
settled."
This is the truth, ironically speaking. The problem thnt the great American people should now set about aolving it th: How to be hsppy though taxed like thunder. Blnghnaaton (Tf Y.)
