ceased Had Blown Out.
While travelling through the 'craclS.
err" district of Georgia n northern man
happened TO be detained for some
hours at an out-of-the-way junction.
Finding time passing heavily while
waiting for his train, he strolled along
winding lane which led from the sta
tion. In front of log cabin he found
a tousle-headed youth seated upon a
snake fence.
Desiring to test the originality OF
the young Georgian, he remarked;
This field OF yours produces rather
small corn, does 1t not?'
"Waal," answered the boy. "paw he
planted the small kind this year"
"But II seems very yellow for corn
at this season"
"Waal, paw said ne recko ned he'd
put in the yeller kind"
you'll only have about half a crop,
won't your asked the man from tha
north, wondering IL paw" had only
planted portion OF the usual amount
A CLEAN Of intelligence shone in the
dull eyes OF the clay eater as he drawled:
"Yaas, that's so; but paws working
the place on shares"
Noticing that the soft, yielding sand
which composed the soil was marked
by q path oi almost shapeless foot
prints, the traveller inquired II "maw"
was around the cabin.
The boy shifted his position on the
fence and uneasily said: "Maw's dead;
them air her feet marks there IN the
sand; paw sez he KANT think Of gittin'
married aRin til them air blowed outl''

"Don't have many after postage

sugar barrel at the end OF the counter
aud blowing a Whit Of plug-cut out OF
his clay stump.
"That ancient rig err taclSin' down

Member Bill? Nop2 Well, he wuz er

one OF them Floridy coast towns
They sliced him so his own mother
wouldn't have known him. Captain
he wouldn't take him on board agin,
so we had ter steer o straight course
fer the railroad.
"Bill he wuz badly scratched up, an
We tried TO fix him, but nary ef bit o.
sticlsin' plaster could be got How
somever, we took him TO the store, an

"What happened next? Why that
cat-rigged post clerk said he couldn't

They were old friends and had been
sweethearts in their younger days
There was silver In her hair and snow
In his and they sat and talked OF old
times when they were young. They
did not speak OF dates II was simply

meeting, their first quarrel, their last
kiss, their last quarrel, were all gone
over. Perhaps they both warmed a
little over the recollectionS At last

Former Consul To Cadiz Gives Few Good
Reasons for This Belief.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 3O.-R W.
Turner, Of Kansas, consul TO Cadis,
Spain, under President Harrison. in
speaking about the Cuban war and its
probable result, said that the Span
iards were not fighting so desperately
In Cuba TO save the island as to save
the present home government Mr..
Turner took occasion while IN Spain
TO acquaint himself OF every detail pos
sible concerning that government, and
for that reason his views on the Gu
ban war are OF interest To a
correspondent he said; Spain as a
nation Is powerless, and, although the
present queen regent Is the ablest
ruler Spain has had for years, the gov
ernment Is weighted down with the
difficulty Of self-preservation at home,
in addition to her colonial embarrass-
ments In my opinion Spain can never
conquer Cuba, the reason being that
the people are hopelessly divided
among themselves and the. country
bankrupt"

~Auld Robin Gray"

Lady Anne Barnard wrote "Auld
Robin Gray" when she was II. 1t was
published anonymously in 1776, and
various persons claimed the authorship.
Lady Anne did not acknowledge it was
her own until two years before her death,
when she wrote to Sir Walter Scott and
confided the history Of the ballad to
him. Itappears that the gifted lady was
induced to write the song by desire to
see an old Scottish air, "The Bridegroom
Graf When the Sun Gaed DOOM" fitted
with words more suitable than the rib
aldry which, for want of better, had
been sung to it, The name of "Auld
Robin Gray" was taken from an ancient
herd Of Balcarres. Lady Anne was a
daughter of James Lindsay, fifth earl
of Balcarres She married Andrew Bar
nard, son Of Thomas, bishop Of Liner
lex, and they went out to the Cape,
where he died in 1907. Lady Anne re-
turned to London and lived with her SIS
ter in Berkeley square until 1912. The
sisters house was a literary center and
was frequented by Burke, Sheridan,
Windham, Douglas and the Prince Of
Wales, who were all habitual visitors.
Lady Anne won the lifelong attach
ment of the prince regent. She died in
1895, in her seventy-fourth year. No
one has ever questioned Lady Anne
Barnard's claim to the authorship Of
the words of "Auld Robin Gray" and,
though I am not going to cast doubt
upon the word Of the writer at this late
day, it is necessary to mention that
prior not only to the appearance but to
the writing Of the world famous song
there was French ballad extant con-
tanning the gist Of the story and the
plot. by Paradis de Moncrif, entitled
Lies Constantes Amours d'Alix ct
