Of course I don't. It would take me, say,
a month to get from New Orleans to Cin
cinnati by boat, and that would bo a
month wasted.
"I make up my llBt and have the goods
boxed and shipped to Pittsburg about
three days beforo I am roady to start. My
business is not in full swing till I got to
Cincinnati. That's where the big Ohio
river pnokets start from, and to ono of
thorn my goods are transferred. I don't
go through to Now Orleans on that boat,
only to Memphis, because the Ohio river
boats don't make many stops after they
got Into the Mississippi.
"No matter what boat I take from Cin
cinnati, there's sure to be a queer lot of
passengers on her. Nobody Is supposed
to travel by tho boats nowadays who can
afford to ride In tho ears. Last timo down
was right In the swamper season, and we
had about 80 of them on board. You'd
thluk from their appearance that the
swampors wore a lot of daredevil cowboys
hungry for a fight, but they're not.
There's always work to be had In the
swamps of Louisiana, especially along the
Red river, outting lumbor for barrel staves
and shingles, and when winter comes on
in the north hundreds of farmer boys In
Ohio and Indiana and Illinois go down In
the boats and put In a winter's work in
the swamps. They're the swampers.
They're, great on guns and pistols and
knives, not for fighting, but to give them
a rcul Bporty appearance, 1 suppose, and I
work my cards to soli thom all I can. It's
very muoh like peddling, to bo sure.
Sometimos I sell as much as H00 or $800
worth on the boat between Cincinnati and
Memphis. The swampers haven't got any
money, but pay with orders on their em
ployers. "This work on the boat of oourae Is only
sldo show. My main business is In the
towns. How long the boat stops at a piaoe

"Idlooy, I suppose," suggested Mrs. Do

for another outburst of tears.
"No," returned the husband as he
turned to go, "not ldlo'oy. Charity!"
"Brute!" came the reply in a scream,

"And did you let him say all those

queried her friend indignantly.
" No, " replied the young matron, a faint
gleam of satisfaction straggling through
her tears; "I think I managed to hold my

"But what was It all aboutf" asked
Marie.
"Oh, wo got Into a dispute, and at last

Hero Is a story that Illustrates two facta
first, the foolishness of persons making
bogus wedding presents, or if not bogus
presents pretentious gifts, aud, second,
that no matter how carefully you may In
vite your guests to your marriage It 1b well

As far back as 1855, In a small Hudson
rlvor town, a young woman was married I
to ner rather's conlldentlal clork. In ad
dition to winning his bride the young
man secured a partnership In his futhor-ln-law'B
concern, and on tho day of the
wedding there wore displayed, as was the
custom in those days, the presents. Among
them was a chock for 110,000 from the
bride s father. -
Tho couple lived happily together for
nearly so years, when tho husband died.
At Intervals tho wlfa visited her old home,
mot and conversed with her old frlonds,
reared her ohildrcn In tho foar of the Lord
and was in every way a good member of
soolcty. A fow years aftor tho death of
her husband, her father, thon a venerable
old man, died. When his estate was Bot
tled, tho daughter and widow found horsolf
charged In tho will with $10,000, to be de
ducted from her portion of tho estate
"But," said she to tho oxecutors, "I
never received thlB money, and It is not
fair to deduct it from my portion of tho
estate. I don't caro to contest tho will, but
I think there must bo somo uilstuko about
it. ' I recollect tho check among my wod-
ding presents, but I never saw It aftor-1
ward. I supposed my husband took It,
and if he did it was all right, but I have
no proof of It cither way. '
Tho exocutors wero In a quandary, and
In somo way tho nowa of the missing
oheck became known In the village 'men
a surprising thing happened. Ono of tho
most rcspoctable citizens of tho town, a
prominent member of tho ohuroh, camo
forward, and after a good deal of hesita
tion drew from his pookot a faded slip of
paper.
'Seo what my wlfo found In nn old suit
of clothes," said he. "I I I don't
know how it came there, but I thought it
might bo of eomo service to you."
It was tho $10,000 cheok. Whether In
jest or with tho Intention of stealing it,
the rcsncctnblo citizen had put it in his
Docket. Having It once In his possession,
ho found It an awkward Instrument. Ho
was equally afraid to use it or mention
tho fact of his having it until 80 years later
when the discussion regarding the will
niado It possible. Now York riorald.

to him, 'Soy, cap, I wish you'd stop the
boatwhllo I go ashore and sell that follow

"Well, sir, the words wero hardly out

was on the whistle cord, and the old thing
gave a most unearthly screeoh. It was
