wink Not with the Eye.

The Rev f. NJ Goodrich of New York
Is a person whom the authors of the Mi
kado" would probably have delighted to
know. He could no DOUBT have given
them a number of striking points to work
into that amusing musical travesty upon
the delectable habit of flirting. Not that
Mr. Goodrich is an expert; on the contrary
he is opposed to the practice upon princi-
pie, and the other day opened the walls of
his e.oquence against it, The text from
which he preached was Proverbs X, 10: HE
that winketh with the eye causeth sor-
row." This is a proverb of Solomon, who
unlike Mr.. Goodrich, is popularity supposed
TO have been an adept in the gentle art of
flirting. 1t may be argued on behalf of
Solomon, however, that ne had sense
enough to know when to quit and there
fore ran the minimum of risk.
A reading of the context of the quota
ton, however, does not make it plain that
Solomon had reference to fiirtations when
he wrote against winking the eye. There
are other winks than the wink firtatious.
Solomon might have had the soda water
fountain in mind, or it may have been that
he had tried the wink upon the door-keeper
of the Jerusalem opera house. when the
ballet was on. and had been turned down.
The unwritten code of communication ac-
l6nowledges many winks besides that to
which the preacher had reference; how
could he be perfectly sure which one Sol
ONION meant?
However, Mr.. Goodrich was sure that the
proverb was based upon the wink of fir
tation. and added his voice to Solomon's
against it, Flirting is not a modern sto.-
en- sweet, he said; 1t was as necessary to
preach against it in the first century as
in the nineteenth. Paul found it neces-
sary to tell the women not to be coQuet-
fish. The mania for flirting is not confin-
ed to any class. Doctors firt with their
patients, lawyers with their clients, minis
ters sometimes with their parishloners.
clerks with their customers young women
with their fathers coachmen. while the
fathers are fond of the typewriters," and
so on. Married people firt. too" he
continued. land that is the worst part of
IT," Touching upon the firtations Of young
people, he declared it was a "beastly
shame for a young fellow to work him
se.f into the good graces OF a girl through
a Irritation. and then drop her.
These observations, however were not
as striking as the declarations OF his per-
grafton. Strong drink, we are told. kills
more people than war. pestilenco aud fam
inc. Mr. Goodrich declared: Il thorough.
~ believe that Irritation desolates as many
homes as does drink. IL makes our divorce
courts; it saddens more hearts than
crime and Il takes almost as many lives
as disease" The majority of people win
be apt to regard these conclusions as sim
ply ridiculous.

The effects of the no-fence law in opera
ton are to be seen all through the coun-
~. The law went into effect in 1896 too
late to cause any very perceptible increase
that year in the area of cultivated land,
but this year the increase is quite notice
able though there is still a large area of
implanted open lands The colored people
who cultivate small patches do not yet
fully understand the law, or are fearful
that it may be repealed. There is still
some stock at large in the county. and
there appears to be a fear on the part of
the blacks that II they mpound such cat
lie they may get into trouble with the
owners.
Those who are farming "open" should
enforce their rights against stock that
trespasses upon their fields. The cattle
may not only be taken up and impounded
but under the law the owners are liable
in money damages for any depredations
which the cattle may have made upon
crops
With the no-fence law in force there is
no reason why every acre of tillable land
in Chatham county should not be under
cultivation. There is in the county a large
surplus of able-bodied but idle labor. If
the idle labor and the idle lands could be
brought together, it would be to the inn
mediate and great benefit of all concern
ed. Cotton. corn. rice, potatoes, vegeta-
bles of all kinds and many kinds of fruit
can be grown with profit in Chatham
county This is the climate In which figs
pears. pomegranates and plums grow TO
perfection. Peaches also do very well here
and the section is the home Of the soup
pernong grape.
The Improvement in cattle which has
taken place since the no-fence law went
into force is very marked. In the place Of
poor and scrawny cattle roaming over the
country there are now to be seen sleek
and fat animals worth thrice as much
each as the cattle of several years ago. 1t
viii take several years probably to show
the fun effects of the new law, but every
season will witness improvements and the
increase of farms. The time will come
when the swamps will be drained and their
rich bottoms opened up to cultivation, and
then we shall chronicle some phenomenal
crops. II will be great day for the city
and county when farm houses ana barns,
and dairy and fruit farms. shall dot the
landscape from the Savannah to the Ogee-
chez and from the Atlantic to the Ehing-
ham line

My best stroke of business was when I
first hung out my single in the west"
told the lawyer who now handles none
but the most important and remunerative
cases, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Living about fifty miles north of the
town in which 1 was impatiently waiting
for something to do, was an eccentric old
fellow who owned enough land to make
three or four counties and enough cattle
to feed the armies of the world
"As 1 was pacing up and down the little
office one morning, wondering what 1
could go at If my first case didn't come
soon, l answered a knock at the door to
meet young lady who had all the glow
and Vigor of the cultured astern woman.
While ] was trying to recover my breath
she told me that she was a messenger
from her father, who had heard that there
was new lawyer in town, and wanted
his opinion in a matter that threatened
to lead TO lawsuit 1 took the letter
she handed me and found il signed by the
rich old ranchman.
But your father asks an opinion with
out making any statement of his case l
said after reading.
1t is evident that you don't know pa
pa. If you sent back for further informa-
ton he would denounce you as an igno-
ramus and have nothing more to do with
you. Write something learned in Ian
guage, but obscure in ideas. Quote a lot
of your musty old legal maxims in the
original Latin, and above all things,
abuse the other man with merclless Bit
terness.
In three hours she was back from her
shopping, and the learned opinion was
ready The language was ponderous. The
sentences were long and involved. The
Latin was injected without reference 10
context and the abuse was underlined
with red ink. She read and laughed till
her sparkling eyes rained tears down her
brilliant checks. You must arrange 60
10 all papas law business, she warned
me at parting. and ! danced a bolsterous
solo when she was gone.
Next day came a letter from papa He
had at last found a lawyer. That opinion
was worthy OF a Webster or a Choate. lie
enclosed $1,000 and made me his attorney.
Later l got the daughter"
