Driving up TO the Farmers Hotel, kept
nv II. W. Gore, the party soon made
ARRANGEMENTS with the genial proprietor

gained admittance 10 the jail. where a
picture was taken Of the outside and
an inspection made Of the inside. From

A Brand New Graft.

After travelling some three or four
miles further on, the party noticed a
man standing in the road waving fran
tically as if either to warn them OF
some approaching danger or collect q
bridge toll Knowing Of no bridge in
That part of the country at which toll is
paid, and having a straight, unob-
structed view of the road. surnises OF
the strange actions of the man proved
unav,iting and it was decided that dis
erection was probably the better part OF
1alor. and the driver promptly slowed
down to see what the trouble was He
proved TO be tho most polite highway
man that could well be imagined, for
it was not until after the automobile
came 70 a dead stop that he took of
his hat and bowling, gal antly asked
each Of the party for . cents Whether
the fellow makes living this way or
not. the party didn't learn. but the au-
dacity Of the plan is unique and should
be a winner.
Eight miles from Washington the first
little village is passed. Forestville is
its name. The citizens of this hom-
set were thrown into panic several
months ago by waking up one morn

conspicuously to telegraph pole in

was never cleared and the telegraph
pole is pointed out TO strangers yet as
being the scene either of the warning
OF the Black Hand. "sor the practical

Good Going.

The ride out OF ForestviIle WAS the
best that had been Travelled by the
party thus far. For several miles Il
was as hard and smooth as a macadam.
and the opportunity for full speed
was seized by the driver, who opened
the machine 10 its capacity and IL
skinned over the surface without strik-
ing even a slight "thank-you-mum."
Centerville hove into view in a very
few minutes. This is another ore or the
quaint villages on the way to Upper
Marlboro. Centerville also has a school
and going through its principal thor
oUghfare the autcists met the teacher,
surrounded by a crowd Of youngsters
and seeing a chance for a good picture
promptly halted. For some reason they
refused 10 be photographed. and over
the fences and into the nearest houses
they went as fast as they could, as soon
as the suggestion was made. 'Stung, -
said the PHOTOGRAPHER, and the party
passed on.

Sust A Common Country
Cracker.

Often wonder if they like it
People cooped up in the town
Buildin' narrer stuffy houses
Cause they lack the decent groun'
Toiling upward starwaEd. upward
Just to seek little room
Where bird can never whistle
Not morning glory bloom.
Often wonder if they like it
Nading down a roaring ditch
Jolted jammed and jostled onward
TO the car Of mammon hitched
Stony paths .hA, shrek and rattle
Glowing light and glaring wall
Where the rabbits never frolic
Where the thrushes never cali.
Oittn wonder if they'd like it
If instead of noisy street
Sandy stretch, and moss and grasses
Came beneath their rushing feet
Would they stop to pick the berries
As they grew along the lane
Stop to catch the note Of music
From the breezes in the gain.
Would it be as grating CALLING
As the city streets to me
Wonder what the point Of vision
Wonder what the view would be
Just common country cracker
lust one that never sees
Better things in brick and mortar
Than are ound in shady trees,
Just common country cracker
Suit and hat OF ancient style
Stroilins down the street and draining
Circle swings and skating while
Battered shins and plasteled forehead
Rouu the corner COME to viSw
City folks may stand the racket
Skating days Tor me are through,
