A NEW EXPERIENCE.
Phebe Ann Was Greatly Worried
over the Actions of the
Trees and Houses

She is only little black pickannny who
lives down IN Georgia. She is under dozen
years IN age and until short time ago had
passed all OF her life on a rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning of primer
She was being educated for house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along in the season, for some good rea.
son, it became necessary for the family to
move into a city. The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates
So it was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in state of suppres sed ex.
element. She sat beside Miss ANY" as
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took In all that passed without com
ment.
When she was taken into the train her
wondcrment was amusing. She sat gin
gerry on the cushions, looked out of the win.
dow and generally seemed uncertain con.
corning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her, eyes filled, her lip qulvered and she
smiled audibly.
What's the matter, Phebe ANN" asked
her mistress
