Why ootch Farmer Refused Per

Could the funny sayings and lncl
clouts at the tenant' dinners In Scot
lam Ijo Golluctod they would make an
unrivaled hook of humor. Mistakes of
amusing ami sometimes embarrassing
nature occur frequently tt such func
tions. Oue story Is told of a guest at
a Scottish tenants' dinner who tasted
tco cream for the first time on that oc
casion. He pushed I"' upoonful of
the frown mixture Into bis mouth snd
Jumped from his chair with agony ex
pressed on bis face. He let out a yell
and cried out, "Ow, ow, ma rotten

At another BcottlNh affair of the kind
a good old farmer wai seated next to
the hostess, 8he served him a bit of
savory omelet, which seemed to cause
the old man deep disappointment tils
Idea of an omolot bad always been a
dessert with sugar or fruit or Jama,
and after taatlng tbt sample before
him he turned to the boateas and Kid,
"Weel, ma lady, I canna compliment
you on your puddln's." .
The late Duke of Buccleuch told a
story of a tenant at one of the farmers'
dinners on hi estates who was aaked
by the duchess If he would take some
rhubarb, a dish she was fond of. The
farmer was surprised, but answered
politely, "I'm muckle obleeged to your

QUEER DEATH OF OLD JABEZ.
The Uncanny Incident That Disturbed
the Quiet of an Old Virginia Heme.
A Nightly Tramp That Never Ceased
Until the House Was Demolished.
"1 am hot exactly prepared to say
tbnt I believe In ghosts," said tbo old
gontlomau from Virginia, "but at the
same time, in view of certain things
that have been told me by persons
whose reputations for veracity do not
admit of a doubt, 1 cannot allow my
self to ridicule the Ideas of others who
do believe In an occasional return to
earth of the dead.. 4
"There Is on case In particular that
I know of personally and that can be
vouched for by a number of citizens
In the upper counties of my state, and
that is the case of old Uncle Jsbcz
Martin, who knew a number of well
to do farmers In Fauquier as well as
In gpottsylvanht, Htppabaonock and
other counties In the northern part of
the state. 'Uncle Jabe,' as most every
one who knew the old fellow called
blm, had considerable of the nomad tn
bis disposition and led a wandering,
pastoral life. He was always willing
J to work when any one needed bis serv-
li es and did a good deal of rough car-
pontering in return for a 'meal 0'
wlttle and a shakedown,' as be ex
pressed It, and as be was pretty well
known In the land of his pilgrimage
It wo a rare occurrence when he was
not given a welcome.
"If old Uncle Jabe thought more of
one family In the state than be did of
another It was the Greens. Virginia,
as all know, Is full of Greens. An es
timable crowd they are; and nearly all
of them consider themselves as relat
ed In some degrt-s of consanguinity to
the other of that name. The Greens
of Virginia Is the finest tribe of that
name In seven states,' was the con
stant boast of Uncle Jabs, and above
and beyond any other Green anywhere
be placed Marse Dickie Green of Fau
quier, and that Is where my ghost
story, If you will please to consider tt
as such, begins. , ;
"One wild night In the month of Oc-
tobcr not very long before the war the
old wanderer made bis appearance at
Squire Green's. Mr. Green waa called
squire by virtue of being a Justice of
the peace. Jabe wanted his usual
'meal 0' wlttles and shakedown,' and
It was at his service, as usual, and
after a good supper he sat on the back
steps of the bouse, smoked bis old
pipe for awhile and then went to bed.
"Squire Green was engaged In some
work that kept him up until midnight,
and as the clock struck 12 he heard a
heavy sound on the stairway. It seem
ed as if someone was coming down the
stops with heavy Irons on the legs.
The sound was carried to the door,
which was opoued noisily and then
closed with n terrific crash.
"Thinking It strange that old Jabe
Martin would be guilty of making
such unnecessary nolso, the squire
rushed to the door and opeued It. The
moon was shining In all Its beauty,
and everything was perfectly calm and
nobody In sight. "Back again went the
surprlRed squire and up Into the attic
chamber, where Martin always slept
when he made Ills calls, tie found
everything calm and quiet there. It
was the quiet of Ji, for old Uncle
Jabolwns lying. ..,,jnie on his back,
with his glassy eyes staring right up
to the ceiling, where the squire left
him until the morning.
"When he related the circumstances
in the morning It seemeJ that every
other one of the bouse had been dis
turbed by the uncanny noises. . The
strange part of It Is that next night
the same sounds were beard, again,
even to the slumming of the door, and
an Investigation proved that there was
no person to make them. There were

when they were liard, as they were,
frequently at midnight they became so

"Friends and neighbors who knew !
the ghostly exercises were averw U
staying all nljclit In, the bouse, a nl tui
darkle couldn't be bribed to come neni
the place after nightfall. The sound
never ceased until after the houxe ws
torn down, and even its demolition,
which It was hoped might reveal the
source of its strange and grewsotne
sound, failed to present any explana
tion. There are folks living today In
Fauquier county," said the relater of
the ghost story, "who can, and I hove
no doubt readily will, testify to the
truth of what I have made mention
of."-Washington Post ; -

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't, Mistake The Cause of You?
Troubles An Astoria Citizen
. Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they thinVthat
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other" symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Blight's Disease. The best remedy
to iise is Doan's Kidney Pills. It
cures all ills which are caused by
wealc or diseased kidneys. Astoria
people testify to permanent cures.
Theodore, Josephson, SlS Seventh
street. Astoria, Ore'., says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. I was
suffering from severe pains across
mv back and my loins and at times
was unable to stoop or straighten.
My kidneys also bothered me a great
deal, as the secretions were generally
t-o free in passing. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention and I procured a box at
RfiRCrs' drug store. I began , using
1 hem and my health is now excellent.
T take a few doses now and then,
when feeling any sign of backache
and they never fail to banish the
trouble."

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes: "Last year I suffered for
three months with a summer cold so
distressing that it interfered with my
business. I had many of the symp
toms of hay fever, and a doctor's
prescription did not .reach my case,
and I took several medicines which
seemed to only aggravate my case.
Fortunately I insisted upon having
Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow
package, and it quickly cured me. My
wife has since used Foley's Honey
and Tar with the same success." T.
