THE mMl f8EW»¥©MER, 
and poultry. 
our closet. There ain’t nothin’ beats them fer 
tonin’ up a sick stummick. ’Taint no brown 
keetus. I ’low its sum innanl ketch, an’ 
Jones’ Bitters won’t make no bones ’bout set- 
tin’ him on foot agin. My wife wouldn't 
never hev hod no health at all but for them 
bitters. Ez it is she gits around middlin’ 
peart. ” 
Mr. Mouser had his version to give next. 
“My idees is that his liver’s gut sorter 
switched off. Here’s where the liver is, up 
here.” He put his hand as he spoke up near 
his right shoulder. ‘‘When a feller eats tol- 
lerble st.iddy an’ don’t do no great work his 
blood pears ter git sorter rusty like. Theliver 
hangs on a sorter hinge like, mid swings agin 
the rilis. When that hinge gits rusty the 
liver can’t swing serwell an’ the hull thing 
gits sorter clogged. It all comes from eatin’ 
terrible hard.” 
“You’re a giftin’ terrible dost, to it,” shout¬ 
ed a great voice from the next room. “That’s 
jest what I’ve ben a tdlin’ Miss Frost, but 
she’s ser terrible nervous like, it sorter went 
agin her fer to think so.” 
This great voice appeared to belong to Mr. 
Frost. That gentleman came to the door and 
looked in upon us. 
“Taint mithiu’ serious, folks,” he said. “I’ve 
set u)) with them spells too long fer ter loose 
sleep over ’em. Aint hed none seuce we 
moved inter this deestriet, but I know ’em 
clean through, an’ I tell ye tlmr aint nobody 
gontcr die. We’re terrible obliged to ye fer 
comm in’ out an’ now yer here jest make yer- 
self ter home.” 
At this moment there was a feeble call from 
tbe sick-room. 
“There ’tis,” said Mr. Frost, pointing his 
thumb over his shoulder. “lie wants suui- 
thiu’ ter eat. Danger’s over—aint uutbiu’ 
more ter harrer us up. Ef thar’s eny fustrato 
checker player here jest let him walk out au’ 
I’ll beat him.” 
The company appeared to believe Mr. 
Frost’s statement. Mr. Hardhaek walked 
out to try a game of checkers and Mr. 
Mouser went, along to watch the game. Mr. 
Frost seemed to realize the fact that he would 
be called upon to exert his best powers in or¬ 
der to beat a majority of the School Board of 
Bear Creek. Mrs. Frost disappeared in the 
sick-room with a largo dish of doughnuts. 
There seemed to be no further use for my 
services, so after sitting u short time by the 
stove 1 made ready to go back to Mis. Bell’s 
bouse. I got. my hat and went to the door to 
say “good mgbt” to my host Mr. Frost was 
in no condition for conversation. Mr. Hard¬ 
back had just taken three men at one jump¬ 
ing, and the loss of his friends gave Mr. Frost 
plenty to think about. no had already 
pulled off his coat and now unbuttoned his 
vest with one hand while ho rubbed his head 
with the other. 
“Howdy teacher!” he said, without taking 
his eyes from the checker board. “I’m terri¬ 
ble sorry I can’t stop au’ visit with ye, but Fm 
sorter tied up on this game. Ye can lick 
Zenas all ye wauter an’ 1 won’t say nothin’.”

THE STORY OF A DISTRICT SCHOOL. 
A COLLEGE BOY’S DIARY. 
(Co lilt till 
This brought the giggle to a very abrupt 
termination. AI vir a turned suddenly and 
gave Zenas a sounding box on the ear. He 
jumped up and down and fairly liellowed 
with pain. This frightened Alvira and she 
wildly promised to give him 10 cookies if ho 
would stop bis noise. Zenas stopped his bel¬ 
lowing at once and tagged on after us hold¬ 
ing his injured ear with one band and keep¬ 
ing the other hand in his pocket. 
i walked on one rnfc while Alvira walked 
on the other. This appeared to be about the 
style of Bear Creek etiquette. Zenas trudged 
along in the middle of the road about 10 feet 
behind us. 1 made several remarks concern¬ 
ing the weather, the crops and other current 
topics, but as they brought out nothiug but 
giggles I got discouraged at last and gave it 
up. 
Alvira slowly edged in nearer m 3 , rut. At 
last she reached the middle of the road. 
“Terrible nice night, ain’t it? He! he! he! 
“I wished I was an’ I know where 
A settiu’ in the parlor chair 
The door was locked, the key hung high 
Au’ nobod}' there-” 
Here the thought, of the blissful eoudition she 
was about to describe seemed to overpower 
her for the verse ended in a giggle—the most 
alarming of any that, had yot come. I 
glanced back at Zenas. He tiad taken his 
hand away from his ear and stood pointing 
his finger first at Alvira aud then at myself, 
muttering “ain’t ye ’shamed?" 
He seemed to forget that his brother Adon- 
irain might be at death’s door while he thus 
amused himself. 
Alvira caught him in this attitude. The 
giggle came to an end with a gasp, and she 
made a wild dash at Zenas. That worthy 
dodged her aud ran back down the road. He 
followed us at a safe distance. 1 have always 
desired to prevent any personal considera¬ 
tion trom interfering with the administration 
of justice, but T must confess that I made up 
m 3 ' mind that night to deprive Zenas of the 
benefit; ol any doubt in case he violated any 
school regulation. That sentence is asking as 
any of the director's. It means that I felt like 
whipping Zenas as soon as I could catch Jiim 
at any trick in school. 
We walked along in this manner till we 
reached Frost’s. Then Zenas jumped over the 
fence and ran around to the back door. 
When Alvira and I entered we found him be¬ 
hind the stove grinding his coat sleeve into 
his eyes to show his grief for his brother. As 
I entered J heard a middle-aged lady who sat 
by the door whisper: “Alviry’s ketched the 
master.” A fat, bald-headed man who sat 
neur her overheard this remark. His face aud 
bead grew as red as a cherry and lie fairly 
glared at me and pulled out a pair of specta¬ 
cles that he might the better examine me. 
About a dozen persons had gathered for the 
consultation. A goodly array of l*ottles and 
packages of medicine stood on the table. It 
seemed as if each visitor had contributed one 
or more varieties of medicine. I deemed it 
prudent to keep Grandma Bell’s quota in my 
pocket, particularly as I had mixed the bot¬ 
tles up so that, I con hi not tell one from an¬ 
other. 
The sick member of the community seemed 
to be on exhibition in a little room adjoiniug 
the room in which we all sat. We were ad¬ 
mitted one at a.time for a look at him. As 
we were called, it appeared to be in order to 
put on a very doleful expression of face and 
walk iuto the sick room as though we had ful¬ 
ly made up our mimls to look upon a corpse. 
Mrs. Frost acted us usher into the sick 
room. She was a very nervous and excitable 
woman. Her hair had taken advantage of 
the excitement to jump out of its fastening, 
ami now buug loosely about her head. She 
wrung her hands aud worked her face pite¬ 
ously. Tbe fat man, who had shown so much 
displeasure at my acting as Alvira’s escort, 
came back from tbe sick room with a very 
solemn air. 
“Pears ter me he’s gut the brown keetus an’ 
gut it bad. I knows the brown keetus a mile 
off. My lust wife had it terrible bad an’ I gut 
well acquainted with it. I’d hev his feet inter 
bilm’ hot water an’ wrop a towel ’round his 
head au’ put a couple o’ hot bricks agin him. 
Like ’null’ a good, stout dose o’ catnip tea 
wouldn't, do no harm.” 
“No, you aiu’t gut them symptoms right,” 
said Mr. Moderator Hardhaek. “T ’low its 
somethin’ that ails his stummick. We’ve hed 
a heap ’o stummicks giu out in my family an’ 
I knows all about ’em. I ’low I’ve gut more’n 
p. hundred empty bottles o’ Jones’ Bitters to
