come down the road from
Washington the train had hardly
reached the broad water of the Potomac
until sprightly negro announced din
ner in the dining car. The dining car
does the thing right, aud how vastly
different from the old method. Twen-
ty-five years ago, when | travelled the
South for the first time, | bumped
against the Southern bill of fare. 1t
started with fried chicken and biscuits.
| am honest enough to say the fried
chicken was prime and the biscuits
all right. The thing that l objected to
was that we had them for the next meal
in the next hotel. At the next town
we had them again. We found them at
the railroad eating station. In the next
town we had fried chicken and biscuits.
am not surprised now when | strike a

and biscuits offered me. | have acquired
the habit and would probably propose
to lynch the waiter if he failed to bring
either of them.
Along in 1881, had made voyage of
the South. Starting at st. Louis, |
commenced to eat fried chicken and
biscuits down through Missouri and
intoTexas, where pork and dumpling was
thrown in with it, and l finally ended
the journey around through the gulf
states and up the Atlantic coast and
struck the old Girard- House in Phila-
delphia.
When we reached the dining room |
felt like Moses, who from the top of
Mount Pisgah looked down upon the
promised land. When the waiter asked
me what would have | told him in
superior way of the man who has tray
eled, Anything but fried chicken and
hot biscuits" And when fellow who
was sitting down at the same table said,
Same here waiter" thought I had
made brilliant play. He was just up
from his first long trip South and he
wanted corned beef and apple butter
and doughnuts and pie, and such plum
der as we looked upon as victuals then.
| hope he has been South often enough
since then to know the real virtues of
fried chicken. For it might have been
among the things spoken of in the open
ing chapters of Genesis, of which it is
said the Lord saw that it was good.
No two sections have the same food.
For instance, in Altoona when the
train stops they bring you weiner
sandwich. To the French Market at
New Orleans if you buy cup of coffee
they throw in n baked thing that
looks like an old Dutch pillow but if
you have the ouage to eat it you'll
find it is worth the effort | stopped
one day at fredericksburg, Va, at

Now change from fat pork and beans
to green stuff was cheering prospect,
so toted the basket the three miles
and had happy visions. The tomatoes
came on the table cooked in onions and
not man of the thirty would let them
come near his plate. We had cook
from over in York State who had that
kind of ideas.
We have grown used to the Dixie bill

bread and sweet potatoes, fried chicken
and hot biscuits, until, when we drop
into house where they profess to do
good home cooking-''like you had in
the North"-it is a tiresome experience.
When you are in Rome it is wise to eat
me all right last summer when water
melons were right for taking, for the
theory here in North Carolina is that no
watermelon ever grew big enough to
cut into two shares We have a kind
and thoughtful government. In the
batch of seeds it sent me last winter
were several that were strangers. So
in my garden in the summer were col
lards, okra, mustard, cymlings and
lot of other things. The cymlings are
saucy little squashes and we took them
into fellowship. Collards are variety
of cabbage and they are green in the
garden right now. We stood for all of
them but the okra. The gardener in
sisted that okra was good and we should
plant considerable, so he was given all
the right of way. We had okra to give
to him and to send to all our neighbors
We tried it on the table one Gay, aud
that afternoon gave the gardener an
order to plant no more, unless possibly
enough for seed We may learn to like
it some day. Okra has beautiful
flower, as big as hollyhock and it
grows in the same Industrious shape.

as an ear of corn, which is used for

to Lands reasons for going to New York
Frawley reused himself from bordering the value
of half dozen possible investments and said dryly:
He's had touch of insanity. He's gone into
business for himself"
The months slipped by rapidly for Frawley,

time recalling the clean, generous young face
whose eyes of gray had looked with that insistent
query into her
What question would Lands desire her to an

mouth cured into faint sheer. Honesty is
your pose," he said coolly.
That's all you capable of calling it, re-
turned Lands with equal GOODNESS. " Your linn
tied understanding is misfortune, not a crime
Frawley smiled. Limited understanding is a
misfortune, generally speaking but not for you, if
your environment holds good. I'm going to tell
you about yourself than you ever knew
before
Thank you," said Lands composedly, fitting his
broad young shoulders back in the club-room chair
and letting the smoke from his cigar float up in
indolent rings.
Frawley shot look of suppressed interest at his
vis-a-vis. Frawley not fond of the stage; but
he found exquisite delight in the little dramas
afforded by playing on mems sensibilities, and he
had excellent appreciation of his own talents in
that line.
The gist of the matter is this, he said ncisivey:
You have just been delivering yourself of biting
opinions concerning the present state of public
honesty You called a CRATER a hound whose skin
wasn't fit for a door-mat But what makes a
grafter-environment?'
SO you thinkl' responded Lands impatiently
And what makes an aristocrat like you
above soilng his fingers by dirty trick? Environ
ment again. Now you lstenl You've got
grandfathers to burn Therefore your incna- 4
tons run toward pride and decency. Then, ~
you born to twenty thousand a

and that decency Obliterate the
twenty thousand, turn on the thumb IT,
screws of hunger, and the primal
brute in you would pull down the
barriers those centuries of cutiva-
ton built up-you'd graft along
with the rest"

the cloud of tobacco smoke the flush
rise to his companions face and he contin-
ued with suppressed enjoyment: But
