sidered an affront. The farmer, well
aware Of the loneliness Of his guest,
with whom, for business reasons, he
desired to remain on good terms. al
ways kept a wary eye on his visitor.
One afternoon the testy individual,
In conversation, with his host, remark

Lord, will you have some of this?" and
My Lord, do try that" Take piece

a moment Of supreme quiet saw his
lordship trying to reach the pickle
dish. which was just out of his reach,

ALMOST Satisfied Congressman
Broussard Of Louisiana, says that at
New Iberia, his state, in the early '90's,
when that district was visited by a
severe flood, one Of the expeditions for
relief organized by the government one
day encountered an old negro who, in
a dilapidated dugout, was having con-
siderable trouble in keeping afioat,
says the New York Times. The old
fellow was busy padding with one
hand, while he bailed out his craft with
the other.
At this junction the relief boat came
within hailing distance. and the cap
tain called out:
Hello, there, uncle! Anything you
want?"
"Nothin' 'cept wings, boss" was the
grim reply.

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON TELLS JOKE.
"A negro naturally loves a water
melon" said Representative Johnson of
South Carolina while speaking OF the
melon and peach crop, says the Wash
ington Star. Strange, too, that when
a policeman sees a negro with a melon
at an unreasonable hour he has 1t
right down that that coon has stolen
the melon. I heard a story about a
policeman who met a negro In the
early morning hours, and he had a
big melon on his shoulder. The officer
eyed the coon and the melon and said:
II see you have a melon there"
"Yes, sah," answered the darkey.
Use got er melon, but Use fixed fer
you. sah." and, pulling out a paper, he
handed 1t to the officer, who read:
1.-The bear of the G. A. He
paid me ten cents for the melon, and
he is a pillar in the church. James
Elder"

SENDING OUT THE SEEDS.
Department Of Agriculture Has 3S,0OO,-
e 600 Packages For Distribution.

UO Packages BOT DlStrlDuuOn
Washington, D. C.-The annual dis
trlbution of vegetable and flower seeds
by the Department Of Agriculture has
begun, and before planting time it is
expected that the whole amount, ag-
gregating $4,000 900 packages, will be
in the hands Of the people in all sec
tons Of the country.
The bulk of the 3S,000,0W packages
is subject to the orders Of Senators and
Representatives for distribution among
their constituents, the Secretary of Ag-
riculture ~reserving one-ifth of the en-
tire amount to supply the statistical
crop correspondents, the Weather Bu..
reau, and for other purposes. The
country has been divided into six Sec
tons, with especial regard to climate
and soils, and the seeds will be sent
only to those localities to which their
propagation and growth are believed to
be especially adapted. In addition to
vegetable and flower seeds the Depart
ment sends out quantities of cotton,
forage and field seeds to localities to
which they are best suited, and from
which it is thought good results may
be obtained.
