' ;' In Minnesota the representatlTea have divided. The men from the com ' . mercial centers, Minneapolis, 8t Paul - and Dulutn, are for reciprocity. ' It means a great commerce with western Canada for those citiee and will aid their manufacturing Industries. The " ate representing the country districts - are vigorously opposing the agreement . becanae wheat, barley and other grains and agricultural , products are to be admitted free .of duty and will com ' ' pete with the products of the farm. Other sections and. other states will - show the same divisions. The repre sentatives of districts which are not . affected by Canadian, competition and which may benefit by reason of cbeap- er foods on account of the Canadian supply are for reciprocity, while rep resentatives, ef section where Cana- . dlan products will compete with their Industries are fighting the agreement . 1 Senators . who have constituents of both kinds are in a quandary. .

She paid Sd a week f ot her rooms and board and, besides, sev eral other expenaee. for Aunt Lurtn lived comfortably. She was known to have a snug sum of money In the bank, for the Morgans had been well to do nd bad lived on their tutereat money. When Aunt Lucia died all her rela tives, who were nieces and nephews TBOMAailCa OOCVTKD TBI M6MKT. gathered to pay her the hist respects. After the funeral they sat in the front room, which she had used as a parlor, and flstened In alienee to the reading of the brief will. The lawyer, Mr. Rhodes, polished his eyeglasses and adjusted them to hU long nose. - "AbemP he sal J loudly. Of coarse yon all participated la tb generous distribution of Mrs. Morc-iu's household furniture some- twenty odti years ago? ' " "All the furniture In these two room: la bequeathed to lira. Deacon Flint In remembrance of her never falUu kindness all the furniture with the following exceptions Bedstead and mattresses, mahogany bureau to match, light cherry stand, work table, morris chair and wicker rocker to bo divided among my four nieces Jane Morris, Ann Squires, Fanny Hay aud Thomas ins Well and my two nephews- George Giles and Luke Howe In what- evev manner myeatpemodTfTpnil TJF"t ry Rhodes may deem wiser Once mora the lawyer challenged them to dispute the Justice of this will. "Your annt also wishes, that several personal belongings shall be divided among yen In the-same way. There' Is a marble clock, a pair of vases, brass andirons, a china lamp, a looking glass and her parrot the stuffed par rot! Tou all recollect that this faith ful bird waa the companion of youf annt for many lonely years and that abe esteemed it highly. Thomas Ine waa the only one who vouchsafed an acknowledgment of this tribute to the defunct bird. She never had JlkM n roots she thought them noisy, teres nil ng petsbat because poor Annt' Lucia was dead and had thought to mention her dead pet In the will Thomaslne smiled and said the; had all heard that the .parrot waa de voted to Annt Loci. ' "The clothes and little personal be longings were distributed among ber close friends before abe died." went on the lawyer, referring to the wtlL "Tour annt has left a sum of money sufficient to trover all necessary expenses, and if there la a little surplus It is to go for the care of her burial plot Thafa all" "I thought there was some money,' remarked George Giles, robbing a sun burned band over his head In a poz ued manner. He was a prosperous farmer, aud be had promised himself a little pleasure' trip with any legacy he might receive from Annt Lucia "Flere are copies of the will," said the lawyer tersely, . banding around duplicates of the document "Ton may keep these. , You will note that Mrs. Morgan especially emphasizes the fact that each article and all It contains la to go to the one who takes it away, She also suggests tbst the distribution be made by choice, the oldest one hav big first choice. This, I think, would be very proper." "Very well," said Ann Squires eager ly. She was the firstborn among them. The others signified assent with more or less satisfaction according to age. Thomaslne Wells felt very help less somehow. She would have liked to choose the mahogany wortc table. ' It was very pretty, with glass knobs oa the drawers, but it waa very likely that one or the others would want that Thomaslne was quite poor. - She had lue WM m andnow she sewed at borne In the few feoma she faired In a amall town fifty miles from Little River. The other heirs were well to do farmer folk who had had many opportunities to visit Annt Lucia and shower attentions upon ber declining year.

"I'll take the bedstead ' and mat trcaaca and all It contalua," said Ann Squires hastily. Fanny Ray smiled Utterly and bent her head to that of Jane Morris. "I knew she'd take that! I euppone she thinks the mattresses are stuffed with banknotes." - "Unmphr aakl Jane sourly. "It's my turn next. Fanny, because you al ways claimed you waa the yoiingtfHt. youkpow. v -.'"

The bureau . afforded much apace for secreting treasure) and titers might even be a hidden drawer. . George Giles looked at the work ta ble, but he waa a bachelor and shook his head. Then he chose the morris chair, and Luke Howe passed the work table and chose,, a patent rocker be- cauao the coverlitiSwaa red. Jane Mor ris fidgeted impatiently while they were choosing. At laat her turn came. I wanted that morris chair." ahe said bitterly, "but aa Ifa gone I'll have to take the work table, although I've got one alrendiLSbe.

"though I don't want 'emr "I I'll take the parrot" faltered Thomaslne as each one arose and be gan to Investigate his or her especial choice. They were not unkind people, bnt each one was unconsciously greedy of gain and none of tbetn realized that the youngest cousin was poor and that the inheritance that had fallen to her share waa the poorest "of the Jot Aft er the distribution had been made and they had got over their dlaappolnt- meat .tJJIerobelog no -money they would forget all nnirlenai meats' a no perhaps invite Thomaslne, to spend va cations with them. Now they were busily peering and investigating into their different artl-clea-wUa-Jlttle success. There was nothing but dust In the vsses. and- the bureau contained naught save a col lection of soap coupons. There was a dead wasp In the clock, while the work table contained many sewing ma terials. It did not occur to Jan that Thomaslne might need the work table. They parted later, and the next morn ing Thomaslne went borne and back to work. ' Ten days later the legacy came by express the cherry stand and the stuffed parrot- on his perch. Thomas lne placed the parrot on tho stand and stood them near the mantelpiece and forgot tbem until one day she took In a homeless cat which she fed and warmed by tho .kitchen stove. After awhile the cat wandered Into the little aittlng room, and when be saw the green parrot .aittlng on tho perch he snarled angrily and flew at the unof fending bird. - Whea Thomaslne ran to tho scene tho Boor waa covered with bright feathers and the stuffing was protruding from the body of the bird. The cat chagrined at this one sided battle, retired to a corner 'and. washed his face. -1 .". t Thomaslne picked op the body of the bird and wondered If she might not re pair ' the. damage with needle and thread and glue. Then ber eyes open ed wider and wider, for the stuffing of that parrot waa composed of tight wads and . rolls tf greenbacks, and twisted among tbem was a queer little note from Aunt Lucia: ' i Dear Thomaafno-I know they'll all pick out trie beat and laave poor Polly te jroo. so I have mada him worth whlla after alt Too nod all of this, and yon can keep It without having anv dispute over It Mr. Rhodes knows, and you mustn't tell anybody but your husband.

Through her tears Thomaslne count ed the money ana round there was $5,000, and ber worn little face was glorified by a imllo of perfect relief. Now she could close ber sewing ma chine and buy a farm and raise chick ens! As a beginning she cloned the machine with a loud clatter. Then she hugged the strange eat and adopted him. on the spot and thereafter be waxed fat ' and lazy and never err blinked at the yonng chickens that rait about Thotnaslne's poultry farm. And Thomaslne never told a son! about the strange way her legacy had eptne to her nntll sfter she was msW nSd. and then she to'rt her husband, for of course she got msrrled.
