A
HOPELESS CASE.
I
I
A claim, beautifully situated on
upland prairie, but waist high with
weeds; a dilapidated sod shack whose
thatched roof, as in the old song,
"let in the sunshine and the rain,”
whose cubby hole windows were
broken here anil there and stuffed
with wearing apparel of various hues,
and whose four walls were so storm
worn that they barely held together ;
an ancient wagon here, with one
wheel off and a hopeless stagger in
the other three; a ghost of a horse
there, grazing in a patch of thistles,
and a man in the shadow of the shack I
smoking and complacently eyeing
the desolation about him.
"Hello,” I cried, halting my horse;
"what's the matter here?”
"Matter with what?” drawled a
voice, as the speaker turned upward
a pair of languid eyes.
"Why, with this farm. Running
down, isn't it ?”
He shrugged his shoulders and
smoked on in silent».
“Do you live here?”
"Uh-huh.”
"Married?”
"Gosh-a-mighty!”
"Why don't you fix things up?
Look at that wagon, there. How do
you get to town ?”
"Ride horseback.”
I looked toward his shadow of a
horse and remarked pointedly:
"Thistles are poor fodder.”
"Sho! I wonder.”
"Why don't you picket your horse
on the long grass down yonder in the
bottom?"
Puff, puff, puff and a wreath of
smoke was my only answer.
"Don’t you know,” I wentAon se­
verely, "that the animal will die if
you don't take care of him? Then
liow would you get to town ?"
"Hoof it, I reckon."
"If I were you I'd have some snap
about me. I’d plow up all these
weeds and get this farm into some
kind of condition."
"Fate's agin it,” he said, shaking
liis head ominously.
“Why so?”
Knocking the ashes out of his pipe,
lie put it away and hooked up one of
liis knees with Isith hands.
"Look here, stranger, this here
claim's full o’ wild mustard. Do you
know how many seeds there is in
one o’ them plants?”
"No."
"Well, I spent all last summer
findin out an averagin up the
chances. They's 31.(XX) seeds in one
o’ them tarnation little plants. That
means 31,000 plants to raise 31,000
more seeds next year, an how many
billion plants d'you s'pos«« they is on
this place, anyhow? Jest guess an
multiply that by 31,000 — why,
stranger, you couldn't git all llio
figgers on an ordinary slate. I ain’t
no fool, tlio' I do lirag a mite on
filosofy, an 1 tell yon, now, I ain't
goin to struggle agin fate. I vels'en

en that's what."
Then ho took liis pipe out of one
pocket and a handful of tobacco out
of the other, and proceeded to fix
himself for another smoke.
I lookeil nt him n moment, resigned 1
him mentally and rode away.
"But Pm glad that mustard hain't
