Ger on the other is practically the same
throughout the cotton belt of the South
Atlantic states, and its vocabulary is
largely made up of survivals from the
standard English of bygone generations.
In the classic pages of Burke and Gold
smith, or Swift, Fielding, Sterne and Adj
Olson, to say nothing of the old writer's,
L am constantly running upon old &C
quaintances that l have known all my
life as part and parcel of our Georgia
plantation vernacular. Fielding, for in
stance, makes a very neauS approach to
the crackerism, He allowed he'd do it,
in such a passage as this: THE audience
allowed l did your part JUSTICE" and
when Burke complains that England is
DISTINGUISHED of its forces" he is using al
most the exact phraseology of my crack
err neighbor who has come to borrow
peck of meal and politely hopes that
am not DISTINGUISHING" myself for his
accommodation. 1t is still occasionally
heard among the better class of rustics.

that the same usage. though rare, is not
unknown among the same class in that

rome as his destination. His family
usually saw him sail, but they never
knew when he returned so as 10 DE at
the wharf to welcome him. 1t is evil
dent now that he returned by the next
steamer when he did sail ana theh
went to distant cities to rob.
WORE AN IMPENETRABLE MASK.
His friends all considered him an
honest, upright man, and the few VINO
now know that his vacations were
spent in criminal pursuits are at loss
TO account for his actions except upon
the theory that he was insane on the
subject of stealing. He was wealthy
enough to have abandoned theft long
before his last trip, which appears to
have been the only one that ended dis
astrously. Neither his picture nor any
thing about him appears in Inspector
Byrnes' book and his picture is not
in the rogues' gallery, according TO
friend who looked through the collec-
ton.
That he was a professional criminal
is pretty certain, and he made IL pay
until he was caught. There is a be-
lief among his friends that he commit
ted suicide by taking some poison when
he found himself in prison with long
sentence ahead of him. He had prac-
teal knowledge of chemistry as well as
of mechanics and could easily have
carried a deadly dose with him for use
in such an emergency. That he did not
end his life when frst imprisoned may
have been due to the fact that he
hoped to outlive his sentence, but a
few weeks confinement broke his spirit
and caused him to end his life

Recently several drummers happened
TO meet on a train en- route to Indian
apolis and they began, as usual TO
tell of their business. 1t happened that
there were some bicycle statesmen
among them.

week" said one of them, II sold three
orders. and il amounted TO 900 wheels. ;"
Being the first man to boast Of his
business. he was easily outdone by the
next. and the third saw the others and
went some better. He sold one firm
600 wheels and two other orders
amounted to 500.
You people are not in it," said a
small man who had not taken part in
the conversation. Il sold one firm
Q 600 wheels, and they are all to be
given away for advertising purposes.
what's that! sold 5000 wheels TO
he given away, what wheel do you
sell?'' chimed in the other three in
chorus.
