verse with the big leader, who proved
to be the finest and most intelligent

human being l treated him, the more

while I noticed that he at once re-
sented any familiarity towards me by
the others.

darkies would regard this remarkable
innovation of what they might con-
slider their rights, | made the trade.
In company with the sailor who
answered to the name of Fernando,
/ ordered my darkies out onto the
lawn and explained to them what l
proposed to do. I added, l wanted
neither them nor any of the men on
the adjoining plantations to get it
into their niger brains that this
would in any way affect their posi-
lions. 1t had taken this man years
of hard patient labor to educate these
animals to work, and probably no
others would ever be imported for such
purpose that none of my men who
cared to work would be discharged,
as there would always be plenty OF
extra work at the mines, and I tried
to eAplaiR sb +hem that this was
solely an experiment Of my own. Al.eI

as Fernando said it would, I should
take a contract to pick my neigh
boris 100-acre peach orchard. What
we should find for our Simian friends
to do during the cold weather would
have to be left for future considera
ton.

"Most Of my darkies looked upon
the whole matter as joke and went
away laughing and jollying each
other, but a few muttered and shook
their heads, and acted as If they
might prove troublesome. One Of the
latter said, evidently intending that
should hear, that he'd be damned if
he'd work on plantation where they
employed beasts.
IT had had trouble with the man
at several different times. He was a
powerfully built negro, nearly six feet
four inches in his bare feet, and when
not in liquor, holding the record of
the fastest and cleanest cotton pick
err in the section. But he had a very
surly disposition, and was too fond
of threatening his fellow workmen
with his big knife, which was half as
long as an. Austrian sabre, and which
he kept as sharp as razor. had
cautioned him about this and told him
that if ever saw him draw that knife
on any one, black or white, l would
shoot him without warning. He was
well aware of my facility with re-
volver and IS generally obedient to
my orders. After his remark above,
however, told him that l was get
ting tired of his INSTRUMENTATION, and
ordered him to report to the cashier,
get his pay and for the future keep
off the plantation.
about two o'clock on the third
day, Fernando came driving up the
road with three two-horse wagons of

unique freight that ever entered our

Kermit Roosevelt.

Kermit Roosevelt, second son of the
President, is to considerable portion
Of the public the least known member
of the Roosevelt family and yet he Is
one Of the most interesting. Kermit
is a manly lad who is now in prepare
tory school and who will within a few
years follow in the steps of his older
brother, Theodore, Jr., by entering Har
ward. He bids fair to prove strong
er lad physically than 'Teddy" and has
always gone in for athletics and out
door life in general. Not long ago he
went on a hunting expedition in the
Northwest, under the guidance Of a
man who had been companion of his
father in his ranching days and the
big game bagged by Kermit proved con-
clusively that he in time will be as
good a sportsman as his father.

darkieS had meanwhile nearly COM

and had shown so much restlessness
that the morning and evening hours
of relaxation had been abandoned.
"They would give low plaintive
means and cry out like children when
hurt and when released instead Of
romping and jumping as at first, would
gather in groups and chatter together
as if talking over some trouble. Then
they would troop down to the corner
of the plantation and point away off
towards the South. So Fernando said
he would not let them out until
was well enough to give the matter
my personal attention. That morn
ing Fernando took the lead and spoke
kindly to them and tried to act as
nearly as possible as old Pythagoras
had done, but it proved uphill work.

welt family are fond of pets, but Ker-
NIT goes ahead of all the others in his
love of domestic animals. Dogs have
always been his favorites and there
has seldom been time when he has
not had one or more canine followers,
these animals being transported from
Oyster Bay to Washington each autumn
and back again to the summer home
in the spring.
Kermit Roosevelt is also an excellent
horseman. He learned to ride on the
Presidents old pony Diamond, - a
sturdy black animal that served as the
Presidents mount when he was a
young man. Old Diamond is now a
pensioner in the White House stables
and when Kermit goes riding with his
father,-as he does WIN Ter he is
home for a vacation,-he uses one of
the saddle animals in the White House
stables, his preference being for Wyom-
ing, the handsome mount presented to
President Roosevelt by his friends and
admirers in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Some years since there was no
little excitement throughout the
South, caused by the announcement
that monkeys had been proved to be
wholly capable as cotton pickers and
of course much cheaper than native
labor. All sorts of stories were in the
air, some partly true and many wholly
false, until finally some newer and
later sensation relegated this one to
forgetfulness
