The ride down to Southampton on the
10 o'clock steamer train is delightful on
such day as had. No one can appre-
ciate the carefully kempt farms and
! hedges and roads Of England as horny
fisted farmer from North Carolina can.
In North Carolina most of our territory
is still virgin forest, except where here
and there some man has cut down bee
! tree.
In England the lands are underbrush-
ed, seeded down to grass, drained and
entailed. In North Carolina this has
not been done. Sometimes you will see
a tract of 5000 acres with nothing on it
whatever in the way of improvement
except lis pendens or right of dover,
while in England the whole island looks
like thrifty truck patch.
l got aboard the steamer train wear
ing a reverberating suit of tweed, with a
Norfolk jacket of same, made with box
plait, and heavy hose which almost
reached to my knickerbockers. Really
it was shooting suit, but thought pos
| sibly we might scare up few ducks COM
ing home on the steamer, so prepared
myself.
AS got on board the train I put on
an air OF Importance and asked the guard
in low, rumbling voice if he could
give me compartment by myself, mean
time giving him what English money l
had left. He selected first class COM
partment, put my closing out sale of
wraps, rugs, etc. inside and locked the
door. was proud to know that COM
manded esteem where l was not known,
and l leaned back joyfully in the rich
cushions of my moving penitentiary. To
myself said: "Some folks think can
not travel in foreign country without
matron, but this would indicate that I
can. Here I am occupying the place of
passengers, and nothing out except what
l paid the guard, while the travelling
public may howl its head off for accom-
modations, but in vain My door is
locked, and they cannot enter here" The
more thought it over the more naughty
and offensive became. But we did not
stop more than once between London
and Southampton and then only to pass
the time of day with railroad man in
corduroys. When l got to the end of
the journey, found that l was the only
passenger on the entire train. | had sub
orned and corrupted the guard with
money which afterward sadly needed,
while l could have taken my pick of the
whole train and welcome
The tender at Southampton was wait
ing for me, and out at her anchorage the
Bremen steamer greeted me with several
selections by its triple plated silver band.
People rushed on deck, thinking I might
be Mitchell or Gladstone, those two ster-
ling champions of England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales.
Among other things that have taken
fancy to is a high, laced. waterproof
shoe with cork sole and upper leather of
porpoise skin.
| wore these aboard They are very
soft and easy to the feet and made large,
so that they almost require janitor or
caretaker. They make my feet look de-
formed, and feel that people are look
ing at them all the time, wondering if l
am an Englishman who bought at the
wrong time large part of Frady's addi-
ton to South Hutchinson, Kan. and
now on the way west to see about it.
That is not all. The porpoise is fish
with his pores full of oil, which has a
slight odor of salt Goldfish, whale oil. har-
ness oil. hot glue. unnaturalized cheese
and An emancipation anniversary ball at
the south.
