Cheap Lanl3 in the South.

What noble piece OF work might
be accomplished if the capitalists OF
Chicago would invest 100000, or
even $500, 900, in land and improve
ments to mako homes for tho unem-
ployed but deserving people Of the
city, where there would not only be a
chance for them to make their own
living, but al assurance Of steady en-
ployment and constant occupation,
placing them beyond tho necessity OF
temptation and crime, where they
could enjoy the fresh air, with G pros.
pect Of some day having home OF
their own, and not dependent on the
charity OF city like Chicago, writes
F. A. Hail, Of Clinton, Ill. This
would be the means of relieving IN.
told want and misery and leading the
way to plenty and happiness. without
sacrifice or loss to the capitalists, as
at the same time it could be made a
paying Investment. Georgia, North
eastern Alabama or South Carolina
would be good and desirable locations,
giving Georgia too preference fer
health, good water, fine climate and
shipping facilities. The STATE of
Georgia has immense advantages, be-
cause Of it's situation being in the very
heart of the best section Of the South,
extending from tie mountains to the
sea. It has every variety OF climate
and soil, and produces every kind Of
fruit or vegetable or farm product
known to the other States. The an.
nual rainfall is fifty inches, and the
temperature averages forty degrees il
winter and eighty degrees in summer,
furnishing the best possibilities for
crop development, as we'll as the best
conditions for human comfort. The
North and South are coming closer
together every day. The South needs
the labor and brains to develop her
vast mineral and agricultural posi-
bilities. The unemployed deserving
people of our large cities stand ready
to do this if capital will lend her as
sistance. Chicago Record.

THE gu EST,

there must be g Somewhere just beyond
Our Here, with its weary miles,
Where there's no parting for hearts grswn
fond.
And the blue sky always smiles.
But the unseen shore Is still befora,
Though We strive till our courage fa1h
And never q man since the world began
Has sighted its peaceful Wales.
There must be Sometime, better Iar
Than our Now, with its gray old sorrow,
And though never we've won where its out
posts are,
Well try again tomorrow.
For Sometime land has silver strand
And pleasant groves to shade US;
90 we cannot rest in our lifelong quest
For Joys that still evads us.
Why should We strain our weary eyes
For a land that We may not see;
)r dream of brighter and kindlier skies
In time that may never be?
Ah! better is hope than to crawl and grope
Through a lie without Its zest.
Up! wanderers all! Sound tho bugle call!
And We'll follow the old, old Quest!

A special report on the statistics o.

A special report on the statistics OF
occupations has been made by Car.
roll D. Wright Of the United States
Census Bureau, which throws some
light upon the number of the unem-
ployed in the country during an or
dinariIy prosperous year. The report
shows that ''There were 20, 735, 661
persons ten years of age and over who
were engaged in gainful occupations
in 1890, OF whom 1881, $50 were
males and 1914, ST. were females, aud
that of these 3,0l3, III males and
610, Glib females, or a total of 3, 500, :
730 persons, were unemployed at
their principal occupations during
some part Of the census year ending
May 81, 1890. OF the whole number
OF persons so unemployed, ISIS, 8G5
were unemployed from one to three
months, 1868, 41S from four to six
months, and 1876, 447 from seven to
twelve months, which is equivalent to,
approximately, 4, 49, T2 persons uu-
employed at their principal occupa.
tons for tho entire twelve mouths.
and this number would represent 5. OF
percent of the total number of per-
sons engaged in gainful occupations
in 1890. Divided rs to sex, the an
proXlmate number of males unem-
ployed at their principal occupation
for the entire census year was 972, :
900, representing SIG percent of the
whole number Of males ut work. while
the approximate number of females
unemployed at their principal occu-
patton during the same period was
1852, representing 4.2S percent of
the whole rumber Of females at work.

md made the fire, and was turning to

when there came the sound of the
trampling of feet without and near to
the ooor. 1t startled both herself and
Har vepoyer, but Harwepoyer the
more. He was evidently much alarmed.
He sprang to his feet and started to-
ward the door. He had not more than
done so when, with loud crash, it
fell to the floor, as though through
some force without. Thinking 1t was
surely an attack, that Achonhoahs
friends had come to rescue her, Har'
wepoyer, who was really a coward at
heart, turned and fed toward q pile OF
wood in the corner.
A terrible noise followed the falling
of the door. 1t was as though a small
tornado had struck and shook the
building. 1t made the sticks OF wood
roll all about Harwepoyer, end even
more than ever he was frightened.
Not so Achonhoah. Though she had
been frightened ct first, she had
nevertheless stood her ground, even at
the falling OF the door.
As the door fell with a crash, anu
within the opening almost Immediately
appeared a shaggy head, Achonhoah
nearly cried aloud, but not with fear.
"BIachita! Biachita!" her heart
was saying. ooh, you precious Bla'
chita!" but she dared not say it with
her lips 10: fear OF arousing Harwe'
poyer.
Blachita poked her scrubby little
head through tho door. Her eyes
sought her mistress face. There was
oil the encouragement she needed.
Every movement, every glance,
seemed to say: "Now or never, my
mistress. You called me, and have
come. Yor needed me, or you would
not have called. Up and away! Spring
upon my back, and we are of like the
wind"
When Harwepoyer did look up he
was for the moment struck motionless
with emaeemeat. There, standing
not more than ten PAGES away, was the
pony, and by the pony Achonhoah,
her arms about it's neck. Then, recov-
ering himself, he started up, but too
latel With one bound Achonhoah
had sprung to the pony's back, with
out saddle, and with no bride save a
trailing bit Of rope. But, torsooth,
for what did Blechita need q bride?
Did she not know the way as we'll as
her mistress - even better? So
Achonhoah only gathered up that bit
of rope, as she sprung, to prevent
Blach1ta stepping upon it end trip
ping.
The pony's head was turned toward
the door. Harwepoycr sprang for
ward. He saw in an instant what was
about to take place. After all the girl
would escape him if he did not act
promptly. He reached ont his hand
and clutche} at the tail Of the pony.

cient force eginst the shoulder Of Har

where he lay IN almost senseless heap
for moment or 50.
When he recovered himself and few
to the door it was to see the pony
with her rider already across the clear
ing and into the belt OF timber, where
they were rushing along tho path with
the speed Of the wind. His wicked
plot had come to naught, his evil de-
signs we're thwartea, and all through
