Old Jim Medlin Badly Treated.

story in last Sund.y Us Charlotte
Observer. Following is the full
story:
Jim MedIin, the colored blind
tiger who roamed at will about
Monroe for about twenty years,
was chased clear out of sight some
time last year. l have tried in
vain to locate old jim. He is one
of tho shrewdest negroes that ever
lived. Many a time have l seen
him sitting upon the top of bar
rel-an empty watching
for thirsty stranger. He would
; say:
"Nornin' boss; it's a purity
day"
You couldn't resist the temp
tation to tarry and have word
with the antebellum darkeY. His
face was so kind and so gentle
looking.

sWell, boss, you needn't 60 no

me SO cents, an yo' drink'll be

And it would. Jim never
fooled man in his life.
But, like many good public
servants, Jim fell before a great
moral wave. He went down in
a mighty torrent, A drunken
kinsman came reeling and rocking
from Jim's quiet cottage. The
policeman caught the fellow, put
the screws on him and made him
saueal. Jim was arrested, and
his house was searched. Every
nook and corner, crack and crew
ice was looked into until the Of
ficers came to brand new bureau.
Every drawer ofthe bureau except
the left-hand upper one, was
searched.
"Cap'n Howie," said Jim to
the officer, "dat little drawer amt
mover been open since l bought de
bureau fun Mr.. Tom Dillon.
DATE de trui! He never gin me
no key fur dat!"
The officers knew Jim to be
very willy, and they would not
take his word for the drawer, but
broke it open. There they found
about five gallons of fire. water, in
half-pint bottles.
The officers looked at Jim for
an explanation. He was ready.

RAW FISH AND WAsABl.
An Appetizins Dish That Is a Favor

An Appealing Dish That Is q Favor.
lite In Japan.
Not SO well known among the occi-
dentals as soy sauce, but of equal
merit as an appetizer, is wasabi. Its
the same purpose that horserndish
does on occidental tables, but is less
acrid.
My own introduction to wasabi was
unique. l count among my most pleas
ing experiences in this sunrise land
my meeting with Tumio Yano, novel
list and diplomat. And not the least
item in my debt of gratitude to him
is that he taught me to appreciate my
raw fish and wasabi Mr.. Yano has
been the mikado's ambassador to
China and other lands. One night at
the Nippon club he led up to delicate
subject on the menu with much diplo-
macy. He finally got my assent to the
statement that cosmopolitan appe-
tite is one of the distinguishing marks
Of cultivated travel. Then he passed

confessed that was willing to be
stick in the mud or any other variety
of silurian rather than take place with
the international elect by eating such
dish. My host, however, was pain
fully insistent finally adding that with
raw fish they, of course, ate wasabi.
| Now, did not have even q vague
notion of what this might be, but with
that raw proposition before me it was
| comforting to know that at least it
was to be diluted with something. I
| conjured up an experience In taking
castor oil ambushed under sherry and
sarsaparilla, which, while not bever-
age one would grow to crave, might
have been worse. figured out also
that with my gaucheries with chop
sticks l might manage without ex-
citing suspicion to drop the fish before
the fatal moment, and eat only the
mysterious wasabi. But whether
through cowardice or courage can
not say, fish and relish made quick
and simultaneous journey to my re.
luctant palate, and in the never to be
forgotten instant there flashed into my
consciousness the undeniable truth
that in all my occidental years had
been denied one of the most savory
dishes in the world. Charles Lambs
