a* ba made them all himself."
u There wsro many good stories told
n the floor of the Hooae in the tariff

Wbsre shall we put Uoaaa?" Just
than tha good old deaooa awoke, aud

Talbert* seoond story was concern

Irtohmaa pat tha trap luto tha stream.
It was open at both ends, and ha had

When some one asked btm why he bad

ii or one of them can get away. I
want to kstob lbum a-galo* aud a

His third story was to discussion of
the financial situation. Mr. Talbert
llleiirated U>e treatment of the farm
ers by say lug that it reminded him of
um ont men or oorn little Jononie

father’* oorn. Finally toe miller ralaed
the aaek and emptied It Into tba hop
per. Whin be threw lbe aaek on the
floor little Jobuule grabbed it up aod
ran off borne like a dear. The miller
followed, bet could not Caleb up wtlb
him. He bed to go back to *en about
