Into the 'place which the proprietor

bar our further progress. He was, I
think, the most fascinatingly hideous
man I have ever seen. About Mx leet
in height, he had the mighty chest and
arixts of a gorilla and the face of a me-
diaeval gargoyle; eyes dim and small,
and half hidden by their pouchy lids;
nose flat and expansive, like a negroa,

missing, as if someone had spurred the

' Between insistence and cajolery we
broke through the barriers of opposi-

stumbled up a staircase, unique for its
absence of light Mid the steepness Of its
narrow, worn stairs.

PLANTING CORN IN GEORGIA.
(Tom Watson in his magazine).
On such a day, such a cloudless, rad-
iant, flowed -sweetened day, the horse-
man slackens. the rein as he rides through
lanes and quiet fields, and he dares to
dream that the children of God once
loved each other. .
On such a day one may dream that
the time might come when they would
do so again.
Rein in and stop here on this high
hill Look north, look east where
the sun rises, look south, look west
where the stm sets, —on all sides the
scene is the same. In every field the
steady mule, the steady plowman end
the children dropping corn.
Close the eye a moment and look at
the picture fancy paints, Eve .y field
in Georgia is there, every Hell in the
South is there. And in emelt tits fig-
ures are the same—the steedy mule
and the steady. man, and the eatterng
-get of the children dropping torn.
In these furrows lie the fool of the
republic; on these Bells depen 1 :ife
and health and happiness.
Halt those children --.and see how
the cheek of the world would blanch
at thought of famine. ,
Penalize that plowman — and £e8
how national bankruptcy would shatter
every city in the union.
Dropping corn. A simple thing, you
say.
And yet, as those white seeds rattle
down to the sod and hide away for a
season, it needs no peculiar strength
of fancy to see it Jacob's ladder
crowded with attending blessings.
Scornfully the railroad king would
glance at these snuell teams in each
small field; yet cheek those corn -
droppers and his ears would rot on
tho road and rust would devour the -
engines in the round house. The
banker would ride through those fields
thinkin oul of his hoarded millions
nor would he ever startle himself with
the thought that ids millions would
melt away in mist were theta tiny
hands never more to he found dropping
COM. The boialholder, proud in all
the security of the untaxed receiver
of other people's taxes, would see in
these fields merely the industry from
which he gathers tribute; it would never
dawn on his Mind that without the
opening of those furrows and the
hurrying army a children dropping
torn his bond wouldn't be worth the
