In replying to the questions in th-
circular letter already mentioned, f
number of (lie farmers and stoekmei
took the opportunity to express b
other ways tiieir personal opinions o'
the results of ttck\ eradication.
(me Alnhiinin mini wrote from
Bumpier i-onuty: “There Is as mucl
difference between ticks find no tick-
ns there is between ah up-to-dati
business man and an old fogy. X:
fiu-t, if we had kept the ticks. w<
would have been knoeked out In tei
years.”
From Baxter county. Arkansas, an
other uian wrote: “\Ve consider th-
eradication work has ht-erf wortl
thousands of dollars to Baxter county
As our county is not very good fo-
fanning, we deitend mostly on out
cattle for n living and we can't rals-
cattle and fever*ticks in the sum-
istunty with any success."
in regard to Us effect upon th-
dairy industry a Putnam comity
Georgia, man said: “Tick eyadieotlot
and the dairy industry have progressed
hand in hand here In Putnam county
it ts generally conceded that on-
creamery (the only successful CvOprr
ative one in the stntei is suceessfu
because of tick eradication."
From Mississippi a stockman wrote
"To show you ail instance of vvhn’
tick eradication lias done for us: oi
yesterday I sold to a feeder fron
'Kentucky a carload of feeders (Align
grades! for $ii tier hundredweight
weighed up on my own farm. This I-
the highest priced load of this elas-
of eat tie that I have ever known t<
he sold in the state." If tills man’s
county's had still been under qnarar-
line it would, of course, have been Im
possible to have sent ids feeders inti
Kentucky at nil. Another Mississlpp'
man said: “I have been in the eatth
business myself In Chickasaw count'
for twenty years and I regard the
eradication of ticks as a great lien of 1'

am shipping my cattle now to F.nst
St, Louis and they go into the fret
pens. They bring 50 to 75 eents ]*-'
too more than they would in th
quarantine is-ns.”
An Oklahoma man brought up tin
matter of Importing pure-bred stock
“i lmve Just shipped in." he wrote
“one ear of pure-bred calves and I
have two neighbors that have sliipi>od
in a ear each. Before tick eradleation
v.-e could not handle this class of cat-
tle ns they would die of fever."
From Stonewall County. Texas, a
stockman wrote: “I tlgnve that twr

cost the county from $75,000 to $100.

"Father,” said Johnnie, “tell me a
atory.’’
“All right; I'll tell you a story about
an elopement
“When 1 was a young man I secured
s position with a maker of artificial
limbs, i traveled through the country
selling legs and arma and other sur-
gical contrivances to the small deal-
ers.
“One day I was driving along a road
with my wagon load of samples when
I overtook a pretty girl walking the
same way 1 waa going. I asked her
if I chuldn’t give her a lift. She ac-
cepted the offer and got in on the
vacant seat beside me.
“Her name was—let me see, what
was her name! Well, we’ll call her
Susie. That was tkq first girl who
ever snuggled up to me, and I tell you
I stuck to her like a kitten to a foot
warmer. In troth, it was one of those
cases of love at first sight, and^ 1
couldn’t tell you which fell in love
with the other first 8he was going
to town to do some shopping, and I
arranged with her to drive her back
the same afternoon. ___
, “I didn’t go Into the house with her
when we reached her home. You see.
it wouldn't lodlf right that I bad pick-
ed up Susie on the road. But the
next time I went over the route I
called with a letter of introduction”—
“Who from?” Interrupted Eva.
"Well, I didn’t Intend to say any-
thing about that, but since you want
to know Susie gave me the nami of a
friend of hers, and I wrote the letter
myself, signing the friend’s name. I
called on Susie, presented the letter,
and she received me as • stranger.
Of course that wasn’t a nice thing
to do, but Susie had told me that her
father was a cranky old man and ahe
couldn't make a young man's acquaint-
ance without his asking Innumerable
questions about how, when and where
she had met him."
"When ddes the elopement begin?’’
asked Johnnie.
“It begins right here. I visited Su-
sie and courted her. From the first
her father opposed me, and when I
asked him for his daughter he refused
we 7*01111 blank. Susie wouldn’t give
me up, and there was nothing for it
hut to run away and be married. By
this time winter had come on, and
that winter there was a great deal of
snow. After a big storm I started on
a business trip in. a sleigh. Susie had
written me that her father had beeu
called on to serve on a Jury and was
away most of the time. Her mother
sympathized with Susie and me, so
she didn’t count against us. I drove
up to the house one afternoon, and,
the father being at the county neat,
Susie ami I concluded that it was as
good a time as any to go off and get
married. Susie’s mother didn’t object,
and we started.
“We hadn’t been gone long when
Susie’s father came home. He asked
her mother where she was, and the
poor woman looked guilty. He forced
her to admit that Susie and I had gone
off to be married and to tell him
which way. Then he got into tho
sleigh he had come home in, and away
he went liekety split after us to head
us off before we could get married.
“Susie was looking back all tbe
while, and presently, when we were
on a rise, she saw her /ather coming
some two or three miles away. Then
l knew I was in for a chase."
“Did you lick your horse?” asked
Johnnie.
“You bet I did, my boy. But he had
no speed in him. I used him simply to
jog through the country, carrying toe
and my samples, stopping here and
there, and for this I didn’t need a fast
horse. The consequence was that Su*
ale's father, having the best animal in
his stable, gained on us.
"I was full of expedients, and aa I
drove on racked my brain for one to
delay our pursuer. I remembered that
there was a bridge ahead, a small,
rickety affair. If I could have time
to ruin that bridge behind me I could
keep my pursuer from getting over it
and in that way I might escape. Then
an idea struck me how to cause the
delay.
"Passing from a rise down Into a
pine! where there was a deep snow-
drift beside the road, I pulled up, took
a couple of artificial legs from my
samples and asked Susie for her shoes.
She took them off, and I put them on
tho wooden feet, got out of the sleigh
and stuck tiie legs in the snowdrift,
leaving only the feet and ankles expos-
ed. Then I got back into the sleigh
and started on again.
“ ’What's that for?’ asked Susie.
“ ‘He'll see tbe feet sticking out o.
the snow, jlhlnb you’re buried head
down and stop to pull you out If he
takes enough time doing it I’ll be able
to send that bridge sailing down with
the current.’
‘The bridge was beyond tbe next
hill and, after crossing it, I got out
and worked like a beaver till I had
loosened the supports and dropped
them Into the stream. Of course they
couldn't be replaced in a hurry, and
when I had completed the wreck I
breathed easy. I was driving away
when I saw our pursuer on the rise
behind us. But the race was over.
He couldn’t get across the stream', and
I took my time in driving to a parson’s,
where Susie and I were married.”
“John,” said tbe wife and mother
who had come in in time to hear the
climax of the story, “you ought to be
ashamed of yourself to make tfp such
stuff for the children.”
