Why an Old Planter Chased His Over seer all Over the Plantation.
 During the war. old man Joe Garland, uncle of Senator Garland. went down to his plantation near Red river. to spend a . few days oi quiet which the broad ex- pan>e of field and woodland inspired. Grows in large numbers had shown sseh a per>is,cncy in picking up the corn m the fields. that the overseer had resorssd to cooking the grain in stpchnine and water and scattering 1t orer the plo~ed hand. When old man Garland entered the sitting room of the spaeioas iog hosse. no one vas present. He saw . bottle on the mantle piece, and thinking its con tents to be whisky, he tarned Il sp and took couple of swallo~s hesoss he could bite 1t of. when suddenly the thought flashed across him that he had swallowed dose of the stuif prepared ios the crows. The old man yelled and when an old negro woman answered the alarm ing summons, the old man exclaimed:
 "GreA, Lord, I've swallowed a quart of that internal crow ptxen- Gel me so,..s AAs. ==.s= and lehel... ssa.ek The old soman, greatly excited, har- nedly prepared the emet'e, and the old man, throwing himself across the bed, wi,h his mouth protruding oves the fais- ing, began to hease.

 B, this tune the overseer arrived, and learning that the old man had drunk crow poison turned deaihly pale.
 Foam. ,n long ,opy stresehes, boiied from the old mans mouth.

 The o.ersees approached the old wo- man steal,h,ly and sad Don, tel ham until get ou, in the field. That amt pizen. it's bottle of sof, soap. That's why the suds boiled ou, of h,s mouth when he drank the hot water The overseeI stole out of the house and the old woman turned 10 the old man and sad
