BETZVELE TALES

Prone M'Dooble and His Stone Uncle

tigByEWs Parker Butler

o A-uthor oh Fiös is Pi'ös Eic- ' T CTD A rr rrvrs. r- -r-r--

One of the most cruel cases of heartloiisness ever known in Hetzville has Just cotno to light, and several nf -.r most distinguished citizen have Joined to write n Wack Hand letter to Cousin Orono McDooble, advising him to move into tho next county or take the consoquoncos. We think ho will move. About eight years ago Hiram McDooblo died, and he was continuously mad from the timo Uie automobile passed across him until he broathod his last. He always had hated automobiles, but when one ran over him it acted ns the last straw that breaks the camels back, and ho called his nephew Orone to him, and told him that if ever Orone dared get into one of tho all-fired things he would turn over in his grave. Then he died as comfortably as possible, and Orone burled him In the Old Grove cemetery, and took charge of the old man- property, as any sole survivor should. But this spring the Betzvllle aldermen decided to extend Main street right on through the Old Grove cemetery, and they notified Orone that Uncle Hiram was blocking the street. They told Orone to come and get him. So Orone went out, and when he got there he was very much surprised, for Uncle Hiram had turned to stone. Probably something in the soil did it, although Uncle Hiram had always

bad a stony heart, and that might have served as a sort of nest egg. Of course he wasn't granite, exactly, but he was pretty stony about like soapstone, I should say. The minute Orone saw his late uncle his eyes glittered with an avaricious light, and we made up our minds Orone was going to bo mean enough to tote his uncle around the country nnd show him off as a petrified man, but he didn't Instead of that he took him home and planted him again, under an apple tree near the barn, and that did surprise us, for if there was ever a grasping man Orone was that man, and it did not seem like him to allow a stone uncle to go to waste that way. But It just shows that common people can't even guess how mean man can be. We hadn't the least Idea what Orone was up to, although wo should havo guessed It, for it was the most natural thing for a mean man to do with a stone uncle like Uncle Hiram. The first thing Orone did was to buy an old, busted automobile, and he paid for it with some of the money Uncle Hiram had left We thought that was odd In Orone, because ho never spent a cent unless he had to. but tho next thing wo heard of was stranger Btill. It seemod that Orone had Installed a motor on his place, and was using It to run all the working implements on his place. He used It to run the grindstone and the churn and the corn shellcr and tho cider mill nnd tho pump, and then he ran a transmission belt across to the flour mill and rented power to the miller. He got a dollar and sixty cents a day from tho miller for It. And Orone would Just sit back In his busted automobile and smile and do nothing. Ho never moved the automobile an Inch. Just sat in it as if it were a throne. Wo. would never have guessed his wickedness If Billy Farnsdod. tho blacksmith, hadn't happened to men-

m3

tin that he had mended Orone's uncle Hiram. Then we found out the whole thing. It seems that Orone knew his uncle H Irani was a man of his word, and could bo trusted to do what he said ho would do, and that If ho said he would turn over in his grave ho would do it. So Orone bought the automobile and sat In it and Uncle Hiram turned over. If Orone merely sat in some othor man's automobile the chances aro that Uncle Hiram would have turned over once and that he would have beon satisfied with that one turn, but when Orone bought an automobile and bought It with the old man's money, and sat In it all day, the Fiune uncle simply spun around All Orone had to do was rig a gear on him. When the gear was properly oiled the stone uncle made over six hundred revolutions a minute. Ho probably broke all records for stone uncles. An ordinarily me,m man would have been satisfied with that, but Orone was too grasping. When the miller put in extra mill stones Orono contracted to furnish an extra horse-power for eighty cents a day, but it put too great a strain on the stone uncle. It was all right to run him up to his full capacity, but even a stone uncle gets too much if he is over-crowded, and one morning a couple of days ago the stone uncle broke in two. Orone tinkered at him a little, but he soon saw that he could not fasten the stone uncle together well enough to revolve evenly, so he called on Billy Farnsdod to do the splicing. He said that, of course, he did not have many jobs of that sort, but it was all In the way of business, and he did the best he could, but after a couple of days Orone came back and said the splice had loosened and wanted his money back. Billy told him to produce the stone uncle, nnd that if the splice was really loose he would re-splice Uncle Hiram, but Orone would not do IL He demanded his money. That made Billy angry, and he told the whole thing to Uncle Ashdod Clootz, and that was the same thing as printing it in the paper. A committee of everybody in Betzvllle called on Orono and dug up tho stone uncle, and it Just showed what a liar Orone was, for the splice was all right, and Uncle Hiram was revolving perfectly. The committee took action nt once, and threw Orone out of the nutomoblle, and ungeared Uncle Hiram, and laid him on the grass temporarily, hut while they were dlgcisslng howto fix it so that Orone couldn't make Uncle Hiram revolve any more, Orone suddenly Jumped Into the automobile, and the stone uncle Immediately began revolving at the rate of about four thousand revolutions a minute. He revolved out of tho yard In less than a second nnd a minute later he saw hlra disappear over the hill, and by tho time we could yank Orone out of the automobile Uncle Hiram was beyond recovery. tCopyrlsht. 1JO. by W. 0.

Housewife You always seem to enJoy eating my food, but ray husband Is never suited with It! Heggar Say, get a divorce and marry me! EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlals, South Wales, about fifteen years ago. families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it Is the most terrible disease of Its kind that I know of, as it Itches all through your body and makes your life an Inferno. Sleep Is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the 6ame time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure In all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1C50 West Huron St, Chicago, 111., June 29, 1909." President Taft on Discontent. President Taft, in one of his addresses to the farmers of Florence, N. C, told a story about discontent. "No man," he said, "can really understand chronic discontent after having eaten one of those famous pine stews of North Carolina. Chronic discontent does, however, exist. Now and then we find ti ease or two among farmers when the weather goes wrong. " 'Ah, yes, Joseph, you have cause to complain,' a lawyer said to a farmer. "The harvest has been very bad, no doubt of that But you should remember that Providence cares for all, and even the birds of the air are provided for." "'Yes,' said the discontented farmer, so they are off my potatoes.'" Washington Post Real Early Rising. Farmer Brown and Farmer Jones were near neighbors, and many a dispute took place as to who was the earlier riser. Both maintained that each excelled the other. One day Farmer Brown determined to put the subject to test Rising very early one morning, about two o'clock, he proceeded to visit his friend. Great was his astonishment when he saw Mrs. Jones hanging out the clothes in the garden. "Farmer Jones about?" he asked. "Well." replied the lady, "he was the first part of the mornln', but I dunno where he be now." Whiskers. A Roman poet told of the pride one of the late Caesars took in his great whiskers. On some of the wildwood Hill Billies I have seen beards some feet long, a switch of the loose ends hanging out from under the waistcoat Others braided the growth and tied it around the neck, while still others braided it around the waist tying it behind like apron strings. One told me he combed and plaited his every night, and put It away Into a long linen bag or nightgown, so as to keep it from getting all tangled up with his wife and his feet New York Press. INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, if not Remedied in Time. "Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Topeka woman, "that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me. "I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that tho beverago was doing mo all this harm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. I therefore gnve up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum as my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, but surely, and It was a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and I began to sleep, restfully and peacefully. "These happy conditions have con tinued during all of the 5 years, and I am safe In saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicine."
