Arkansas Villages in Winter.

Every traveller going eouth from st. Louis
can recall the average Arkansas village Ia
winter. Little strings of houses are spread
rsggedly on both sides Of the rails A few
wee, shops, that sre likely TO have mock
reciangle of facade stuck against triangle
OF roof, Ia the manner of children's card
houses, parade draggeled stock of haber-
dsshezy and groceries. To rig ut or LETT
mill bnszes, Its newness attested by the raw
tln:s OF the misunderstanding. There is nc
horizon; there seldom is horizon In
Arkansas-it is cut off By the for
est. Pools OF black water reflect the
straight black lines of tree trunks and
the crooked lines Of bare boughs, while muddy
road winds through the vista. Generally there
are few lesn cattle TO stare in detected fashion
at the train, aud some fat black swine 10 root
among the sodden grasses. Bales OF cotton are
piled on the railway platform, and serve as seats
for half dozen istless men in high boots and soft
hats. Occasionally a woman, who has not had
time to brush her hair calls shrlly TO some child
who is trying to have pneumonia by sitting on
tho ground. No one seems to have anything to
do, yet everyone looks tired and the passenger in
the Pullman wonders how people live in such a
hole"
Two months later the "hole" will have changed
into garden. The great live oaks will wave a
glossy foliage of richest green. Men viii be poT!-
ing in the fields, and the negroes song will a5a:
through the open car window. Tho house yards
will be abloom with Japan ounce and lilaos. The
very shop windows will have dash OF fresh color
in summer bonnets and piles of new prints Then
the stranger will awake TO the charm of the soutb;
and were one to esve the train and to stay in one
of these unimpressive towns for q few weeks he
would come 70 appreciate that charm.
