eyes Sieuiu WITH HuInOr, anu you
are led to believe that the ruling
of that court in Macon was all in
the Judges" erratic mind, and you
feel sure it "pleases him and does
no one else any harm"
But while you mediate, the
Judge has gone back TO his room.
humping his cane upon the floor
as he walked, and "Florence," his
wife, Gas you learn she isl has also
gone thither, followed by the DR..
who proceeds to admidister needed
medicines, irrespective of Floren-
ce's threats.
When the DR.. has time, he will
tell you that this Florence and
Judge King" were married in the
Poor House, and you think, HAP
Ply couple! Nothing to trouble, fer
there's nothing to take care of, or to
lose, and all their wants supplied by
the county"
But here is the DR.. again, and
having given due attention to the
Judges needs, he proceeds to in
qaire about athe other ailing ones.
Here is the woman with heart
trouble, and there the childish
looking one with her hand to her
head, who "has the neuralgy, pow
erful bad, never had it before, an
it hurts powerful" Three white
powders given her, "all by herself"
with directions for taking, make
her miserably happy, as she bears
them proudly away
, But here's Florence, who comes
to ask CURLY, "what the Judge kin
, eat, white he's takin' that medi-
cine? After repeating the ques-
ton the the third time, DIR. finds
time to answer, turkey, three
times a dayw Which remark
brought down the house, for theEin-
I mates seemed to enjoy having fun
| at poor Florence's expense.
J, Now you are to proceed to the
Co'ored Poor House, and there you
S are first noticed by bright-faced
!. mulatto woman, who invites you to
j, be seated. You soon see that she
: is cripple-has never walked.
5 Don't think she cannot get about
$ tho for she pushes and shoves her
p chair along, and does the. work re-
h CURED to keep her room in order;
+ and her busy fingers sew, knit,
g make flowers, etc. Her husband is
+ here, too. He lost his eye-sight in
{ an explosion in gold mine, she
: tells you.
: $50 he is feet for you, and you
J. are eyes for him ?"
d "Yes'm. Sometimes / gets sc

to try, and | bettah give up; but i
e feels that isn't right, SO l tries to be
), cheerful and do my best"
e You begin to feel that you have
2 more to be thankful for, than you
: thought you had.
Now the DR.. is ready again, and
Q you are driven through back streets
It and alleys, up hill and down, until
5. without ceremony, the DR.. stops in
:, front of a building you have not
d noticed, and you are left to wonder
whatit means. But glance al
n those windows with the iron graf

= the Jail is also to be visited by the
k Dr.. What gloomy place! And
C how long the DR.. is! Finally he re

s that the convict camps and Poo
n House, are pleasure to visit, com
