Give your farm a name and order The Reflector to print it on your FATHER 1903. by C. B. Lewis. When Jabez Lee had been a widower a year and a half he straightened up in the cornfield one day and said to hi son Jonah, who was hoeing the next row on bis folks is that I ought to git married I've heard say replied the son. as folks think I ought to git married and I don't want my children to say they was neg- I think I'll drop over and see the this Jonah had been courting Widow himself for the last three months. That evening Jabez Lee set out on a courting expedition, while Jonah, who did not dress up at all. was also absent from the house a couple of hours and reached home only five minutes before father. On the next night his father stayed home and Jonah went abroad. It got to be a regular thing for Jabez Lee to call on the Widow Wednesday evening. Some one hid- den behind the fence threw stones at him on three or four occasions, and once he caught sight of a man skulk about in the darkness. All of a sud- den one day he got an Idea. It was an idea that made catch bis breath and lift his right fist in the air and shake it and mutter to gum, but that seems to explain it If it's so, I'll make tired clear up to his The idea was developed that very evening. When changed his clothes and took a walk the father fol- lowed him and kept a hot trail to the Widow The murder was out and the mystery solved. The par- curtains not been lowered, and the father crept up and saw that his rival made himself very much at home on the very chair he himself had pied the night before. Two hours lat- as the son wended his way home- ward, a rock whizzed by his ear, and a ghostly yell from the darkness jumped him six feet. Next day, while his was still curling and he was trying to connect that yell with his father's deep bass voice, the old man suddenly turned on him if you was a woman and a sneak of a feller tried to sneak himself In, what would you lay for replied the son. Jest my way Yes, sir; I'd lay for him and lick him till he couldn't such Father and son looked Into each eyes for a moment, and each dis- and tried to look Innocent. They understood each other, however, and both set their Jaws as they went on with their work. That night was Jonah's night to go courting, and be- fore he left the house he took that his father was missing. He real- at once what that meant, and he began to plan. The route to the Widow carried him over a panning a deep creek near her house. There were trees near the north end, making a deep shadow for many yards, and Jonah felt that his father would wait for him there and play some trick. He therefore removed his boots when he was yet twenty yards away and the spot with catlike tread. It may be stated In advance that the father was there In the shadow. lie had a sheet ready to wrap around him- self and a pillow case ready to pull over his lie was not only going to Play but the ghost would do some thumping before Jonah could get away. In that same deep, dark shadow was a second party. It was an old lame mule which had been turned out to get his living beside the highway, and he bad halted at that spot that night to ruminate and doze. lie stood within twenty feet of the man in ambush, but made no noise to give himself away. In fact, he took no interest whatever In the proceedings for a time, realizing that he bad passed the age when he should be mixed up in love adventures, and it was not until his long ears de- the approach of Jonah that his eyes shook off sleep and he wondered what was up. Jonah crept forward foot by foot, and at last his presence was also detected by the father. With soft- of touch he got ready bis ghostly garments and was on the point of don- them and making a rush when the old mule raised his head, flapped his ears and uttered a bray. It was bray that split the air with thunderous sound and made things shake for rods around. The awful and unexpected sound stirred the and Jonah to action at the same Instant. They went over the railing of the bridge and Into the waters of the creek almost and both yelling the same yell. Five minutes later father and son reached the bank together and pulled themselves out. As they stood gasping and dripping they recognized each and the father you old hypocrite, choked the ton. i At that moment the widow opened her door and down the path. She had heard the bray and the yells and thought some traveler had met with am accident. saw the two men before her, with the mule looking down at them over the railing of the. bridge, and her woman's wit told her what i occurred. laughed loud and long j as they cowered before her and ended the laugh by guess both of you better trot homo- ward and go to bed.

Taking out his he asked us to make a guess as to now long the vultures would take to clean flesh off the bones. Some one said half an hour. As there was not a in sight, this seemed even betting, but Colonel gave them ten minutes, which proved to be correct. There was one vulture at first seen soaring round and round very high up In the cloudless sky. He closed bis wings and dropped on to the carcass with a swoop. In two minutes the sky was full of vultures, all concentrating from every side on the spot, and with all the impetus their drop from a great height gave them as fast as it takes to tell the story.
