shed and greatly alarmed the passengers.

Atlanta. and went 10 the buffet and ordered
something TO eat. The order Included
bread. but when the bill was rendered
Watson became very angry when he saw
he had been charged for the bread. He
protested that bread should be free,
Watson clustered and condemned corpora

his ground, however, and told Watson he
must pay for the bread or get off. The
Populist leader at last put up 10 cents for
the four slices.
