4 Nfurtyr tn Melons.

The melon crop was short this year,
aud a southwest Georgia farmer who
had practically "cornered" it in his
neighborhood had suffered seriously
from the deprecationS of some of the
hungry colored brethren. So he gave
out that he had poisoned his melons,

Night after night an old negro who
lived near the finest melon patch had
gaZed at their green sides with hungry
eyes, but the thought Of the poison
kept him hungry still.
One moonlight uyht, however, his
appetite got the best of him. He
looked in the direction of the melons
long and earnestly; then shouldering
a sack, he started off.
"In de name OF goodness, Rufus,

A GRAVE PROBLEM.
Spanish Premier Willing to Give in,
but Has to Secure Po-
F. liticai Support.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-With o
realizing sense of the grave political prob
lens that must be solved by Senor Sa-
gasta, the Spanish premier, before he
can finally assent to the United States
demands, the administration is not sur
prised that the answer from the Spa nish
side has been delayed.
1t is believed that SO far as the pre-
mier himself is concerned he has made
up his mind to accept the conditions, but
while in that decision he is supported by
a majority Of his cabinet he finds it nee
essary to secure the adhesion of leaders
of other parties in order to guard against
disaster in the future.
+. Spanish methods never have been not
ed for rapidity and it is said that the
present is the first case on record where
the Spanish cabinet has acted within a
the pending peace proposal. Therefore it
is scarcely expected that the decisive an
swer will be forthcoming Immediately.
SO far as can be learned there has
been no further communication between
the state department and the French EN-
bassy since Wednesday night. Assuming
that the report is true that Sagasta is
seeking minute explanations of the details
to be adopted under each head of the
Presidents note, it is probable that these
explanations are being furnished by NJ.
Cambon himself. At any rate he has
made no further application to the state
department for information and it is said
there that he is so fully advised now
of the Presidents intentions that there
is no occasion for him to do SO.
