Child Slavery in
Mills Of the South.

Boys and girls from the age Of six
years and upward are employed. They
usually work from six o'clock IN the
morning until seven at night. At noon
I saw them squat on the floor end de-
vour their food, which consisted
mostly of corn bread and bacon. These
weakened pign-~s munched In silence
ad then toppled over In sleep on the
floor In all the abandon OF babyhuod.
When 1t came time to 90 to work the
foreman marched through the groups
shaking the sleepers, shouting in
their ears, lifting them to their feet,
and, In a few instances, kicking the
delinquents into wakefuiness. From
q quarter to M until seven o'clock
they worked without respite or rest.
These toddlers. | saw for the most
part did but one thing-they watched
the flying spindles on g frame twenty
fest long and tied the broken threads.
They could not sit at their tasks; back
and forth they paced. watching with
tnanimate. dull look the flying
spindles. The noise OF the machinery
and the constant looking at the hy-
Ing wheels reduce nervous sensation
In q few months to the minimum.
Memory is as dead as hope. He does
his work like an automaton; he is

"Good heavens, Laura, where ara
You going?" he exclaimed. There q

/ am going home to get a divorce. Go
back to the other woman"
AS she swept down the corridor Tom
dashed past her and, as If in mockery
of her words, flung himself into the
room she had seer him enter in the
afternoon with the other woman. As
she passed the door he reappeared,
dragging with him in great excitement
the dark woman and another man,
whom she did not notice. She cast
her eyes straight before her and lied
from the gratuitous insult. Securing
a carriage she vas driven rapidly to
the depot. An instant later two men
clad in evening dress flung themselves
into another carriage and started at
a breakneck gait also for the Depot.
But II proved a case of the greater
the haste the less to the speed, for
in the reckless driving the carriage
collided with an omnibus and when
the two passengers recovered con-
seriousness the train had been gone
for many minutes.
That is why the Maynards in their
Western home received the incoherent
but alarming message from their
daughter that she had been cruelty de-
ceived and was on her way home;
which was followed quickly by an
equally incoherent and mystifying wire
from Tom:
cam on the next train following
Laura with my brother and his wife.
All a terrible mistake. Case Of mis-
taken identity. Brother is my twin
and looks Just like me. Make Laura
wait and listen to reason before TAX
ing any STEP"
The upshot of It all was that the
| two bridal couples spent their honey
moons in the West instead OF the East,
and as an incident thereto Tom was
compelled to shave his entire beard
and to promise never to wear one
again, while Jack was compelled to
enter an equally solemn promise to
mis- bride never to shave his beard.
"The idea," exclaimed Laura, of a
woman travelling around without q
certainty that she knows her own hus-
band from some other mani"
Eyes, indeed! The ideal" echoed
Jacks bride.

Hawthorne Had Little
Use For Politicians.

Correcting some inaccuracies in a
published statement, George Edwin
Jepson OF the Boston Custom House,
writes to the Boston Herald saying:
Hawthorne wac not a weigher In
the Boston Custom House In 1S39-41,
but a measurer, the two Offices at that
period being essentially distinct Nor
was he turned out OF ONCE by the
Wings I'm 1S41, as you state. and un-
due odium is thereby cast upon that
party. In the Boston Custom House
archives is an official copy Of q letter
from Collector Bancroft, which noti-
fies the Treasury Department at Wash
fngton that Nathaniel Hawthorne re-
signed HIS position Jan. I, 1841. The
Wings did not assume power until the
following March, and consequently
could exert no pressure to force out a
Democratic oflceholder before that
date.
Hawthorne, In fact, had never been
contented in oficial harness from the
first. He felt out of place amid the
associations OF official life. When
scarcely a year in place he writes thus
In his private journal: I pray that in

FRIGHTENED BY CIRCUS LION.
An Old Railroad Engineer In the West
Tells of a Niuht Ride.

Tells OF a Night Ride.
Dan Bechtel, of Brookfeld, tells a
story about a night ride he once took
with a loose lion. which. as he says,
tends to make the gooselesh creep
a little" Bechtel for fourteen years
was an engineer on the Hannibal g.
st. Joseph railroad. One night in 1888
he left Macon for Sbelbina, his engine
pulling the Wallace shows. It was
very dark. and he had orders not to
run faster than fifteen miles an hour.
Bechtel says he was kidding" the fire.
man and head brakeman about what
would happen If some of the wild ami
mails should get loose. when he looked
up and saw an old lion on top of the
cars, moving slowly and gingerly to-
ward the engine.
When the brakeman and fireman
realized what was coming" says Bech-
tel, "they made a dive for the cab
door, and were soon riding on the
front Of the engine. The firebox was
open and that kept him back, as he
did not seem to know what to make
Of the bright dazzling light. I lad a
whistle that would scare ghosts, but 1t
did not phase the lion. We soon be-
gan TO lose steam and the train had
to slow down. When we reached Shell
bina Conductor Pratt came up making
a big kick because we had been going
slow. pointed to the first car, and
Pratt quickly retreated.
"The trainer soon came and took
the big fellow to his cage. He had
found a loose bar. which he worked
out. With the fireman and brakeman
on the front end and the show people
and Conductor Pratt on the rear end,
1t seemed as IL the lion was getting
too close. ! thought OF all the mean
things | yer did. and held to the
throttle and let the engine go as fast
as she would with what steam I still
had on."-Kansas City Journal.

BY WILLIAM WEINDIAEAnA'
copyright, 1902. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
It all happened because jennings
concealed 1t from Laura that aeK MS
brother, was his twin, n Iurtner
that they resembled each other SO
closely that their nearest friends
not tell one from the other unless they
were seen together, and then II was
Very doubtful. So nea alike had these
two young men been all their iVes
that in infancy their own mother had
been compelled to mark them SO she
could tell them apart-which was Tom
and which was John, 1t was a re-
semblance which went far beyond the
physical. They acted alike, they ges-
tured alike, their mannerisms OK
movement and speech We're alike, they
thought alike. They had always read
The same books and deduced therefrom
the same thoughts. All their theories
Of life and philosophy were alike
save only one. Tom was fond OF fair
haired, blue-eyed girls, while Jack
raved after brunettes OF the most
vivid type.
So 1t had come to pass that Tom,
sent to the West on a long business
mission, had wooed and won dainty
Laura Maynard and they were on
their honeymoon when the catastrophe
happened. Jack had found 1t impos-
sible to be present at the wedding,
two thousand miles distant for n
reason among others, that he was to
be married himself within a week OF
the day set for the Jennlngs-Maynard
nuptials. Then 1t vas that the broth
srs had resolved, with n accord,
after an elaborate exchange OF tele-
grams, that 1t would be a good thing
10 give both brides a surprise and
meet at the same watering place for
thu respective honeymoons. This re-
CURED considerable fnesse for two
the without the aid of a feminine
head, especially when the matter In
yolYed so important a part OF two
weddings. But they succeeded by
hook or crook, and Tom tr~iumphantly
carried of his golden-haired beauty
Tar across the continent to a seaside
hotel OF great fame and there installed
her IN palatial bridal suite, while he
waited with much chuckling for the
appearance of Jack and his bride.
With all this detailed explanation
you can easily guess how 1t turned
out and you really cannot blame Laura
Tor her hasty and somewhat radical
action.
Everything had been going so lovely
that Laura seemed to be in a yeritable
sairy4and and feared each moment
that she would awaken and find 1t all
4 dream. In this frame of mind she
aid awaken very suddenly. Tom had
slipped out for an afternoon cigar, he
said. and presently, hungry for the
loving gaze Of his frank, sparkling
eyes, she started down the spacious
corridor, bent on going to The broad
piazza and find him. She had little
more than left her apartment than
she came face TO face with him.
And (could she believe her eyes?) on
his arm was a radiant beauty with
saucy black eyes and a wealth Of coal
black hair, and he was bending to-
