CHAPTER XIV,

Three months later Walter arrived at
\ Columbus, the capital of the State, after
a business tour of considerable length,
during which he had visited from twenty
10 thirty different towns and villages. He
mad now got accustomed to the business,
and understood better what arguments to
employ to those whom he wished to pur-
chase his book The consequence was
mat ne had met with a degree of success
which had far exceeded his anticipations.
he had tested his powers, and found
lnat they were quite equal to the task
Ne had undertaken-that of earning his
own living. He had padded his own canoe
UuS far without assistance, and he felt
conhdert that, if his health continued
good he should be able to do so here
after.
After eating supper, and spending al
aour or two in the public room of the
notel Walter went up to his room. Here
ne took out blank boot, in which he
kept an account of his sales and expendi-
'1FeS' and, taking a piece of paper, fig
urea up the grand result. He wished to

away into the laughing creases that run up across his temples from his eyes. There was a moments silence. A gangling boy who stood directly in front of him was fixed by the sec retary's blue eyes. He was profound ly embarrassed and said nervously in self defense:
 Hello, there"
 Hello, son. Glad to see you. What's your name?"
 Jake Miller"
 "Shucks, it's Skinny, ain't it fel- lers?" interposed Jake's best friend.
 Well. Skinny. we would make a pair, wouldn't we?"
 You're not as big as I thought you be, Mister Taft" observed a man at the left.
 That's not my fault. I eat often and I eat lots" answered the distin- guished visitor. The crowd laughed.
 Coin to make us a speech?' ask ed another of Skinny's friends.
 Say, do you know" answered the big man shaking his head sadly, my friend, the brakeman here, must not like this town. I could have fixed up a nice little speech for you but at the last stop we made he told me that was the only place they wanted a good speech and I gave it to them. You'll have to send over and get it or else take it out of pany, but I heard a good story the other day"
 He told the story, then another and then another and when the engine bell began to ring he climbed on the car step and stood there waving his hand back at the laughing crowd un- til they were lost to view by a group of trees.

 If I were searching for a finer ex- ample of the manner in which Will liam H. Taft comes in contact with the great American public, I could not find it. This is typical of his way, no matter whether it be a crowd of farmers at the wayside or large body of distinguished men in evening dress at some club ban quet.
 He goes straight to the front al ways with the same frank. plain manner, never a careless bonhomme, because he knows he is among friends. never guarded suavity be- cause he is certain that he is among enemies. The people are fellow Americans if at home. and fellow human beings if abroad and he makes no attempt to impose on them. sin cerely believing that since he is ab- solutely honest in his own facts and

There was a small crowd of men gathered at a wayside station out in Missouri a few weeks ago, standing restively in the chill wind awaiting the incoming of a westbound train. The train was late but the crowd was eager and eXpectant. They had heard that the secretary of war. the probable next president of the United States, was aboard and they were anxious to get just a sight of him. They hoped for no more. That was enough to satisfy them. If he never came that way again they could always say they had seen Bill Taft. and some of them had come ten miles in wagon, over awful roads, for that sole purpose. The train usually stop ped only long enough for the conduc- tor to dash into the telegraph office, scratch his name, train number and time in a book, get his orders and then signal to the engineer to pull out But fate willed that the train dispatcher should see fit to do diff ferently with the train that day.
 At last the whistle was heard up the valley. The big engine came roaring down the rails and clanked DN the SldllOn, DTlHSlHS llle lTdll lO a stop with a shriek of the exhaust air. The crowd scanned the car windows closely They were begin ming to be disappointed but some one started a rambling cheer and it passed along the line.
 The big secretary, in comfortable attire, was deeply engrossed with two of his business staff on official correspondence and reports. At the sound of the cheer he looked up.
 Whats that? Oh, we have visi- tors"
 We are here but half a minute, ' ventured his secretary with his fore finger on the itinerary.
 T don't care" answered the good humored giant, dropping his papers, clapping on a hat and swinging off the train.

 Another and a very hearty cheer went up at the sight of the popular idol.

A CRUEL SYSTEM,

The Dublin Times is opposed to the
present system of leasing the convicts
of Georgia, and it hopes that the Legis-
lature may see fit to make a change.
The system is uncivilized, it is barba-
rous, and it is inexcusable from any
standpoint except perhaps that of dol
lars and cents. 1t cannot be defended
upon any other ground, and a defense
upon that ground is not worthy of con-
sideration.
In plain English. Georgia has been
selling her convicts to the highest bid :
der just as merchandise or live stock
would be sold. 1t has been almost i'm
material whether the lessees have
treated the convicts kindly or as brutes,
the man or corporation Offering the
highest price has been able to get them.
This is cruel, and no State that laws
claims to greatness should tolerate the
system for an instant. The unfortunate
criminal class is made up Of human be-
ings, with souls and feelings like those
who have not offended society, and they
should be treated as human beings-not
so much because they deserve much
sympathy, but because it is barbarous
and unchristian to treat them other
wise.
What to do with the convicts and
how to reimburse the State treasury
for the money that their hire has
brought in, are questions that the
statesmen OF Georgia are called upon to
answer. The school fund has been the
beneficiary of great part of the money
derived from the hire of the convicts,
and how to preserve the common
schools and at the same time abolish
the lease system, is the problem before
the legislators.
