lie Was Il Peculiar Man.

We were sitting on the cotton bales,
half dozen of us, on the depot plat
form. ut Il town in South Carolina,
when n native rode up ana dismounted
from his mule and Joined the group.
He had n irec-aud-easy way with him,
and he was chewing plug tobacco for
all he was worth. lie Lad scarcely
got seated when he elected a mouthful
OF juice which struck the dusty and
wrinkled boot of another native about
six feet away.
"Scuse me. sah.n said the splitter
rs he saw what he had done.
The other looked at him. but made
no reply, and in about two minutes
the operation was repeated.
''Scuse me, sab. " said the splitter, as
he looked up. but I'm Il lcete pecool-
lar. Never see ii foot hanging out like
that without wanting TO spit on it,
The owner of the boot was half "
ing down, and he neither got up nor
had a word TO say. The other now be-
gan to talk about the weather but ere
he had uttered twenty words he turned
his head and squirted for thar boot
again. His aim was wonderfully ae-
curate, aud lie calmly explained
"'Scuse me- sab, but I'm pecooliar
mau. No offense, sab, but just nv
way
We looked on in something like
amazcment, but the owner of the boot
didn't even protest, though he slowly
rose up from his recumbent position
The splitter went on to tell that cotton
would be no crop unless it rained
pretty soon, and pretty soon around
went his head and he fired another
charge ut the boot and said:
"Scuse me, sab, but I'm pccooliar
man. Its just my way, you know.
and
The owner of the boot suddenly
pulled revolver and fired it point
blank at the others head. aud as Il big
white hat went flying with bullet
hole in it. he Indignantly exclaimed:
Look a-yere. Steve Boyard. if yous
bin pearling o'self over bein' the only
pecooliar man in this ere locality yous
