90 ON WATSON is wintering at
his home near FIT. Lauderdale,
which lies between the
= dreamy New River on the one
side and the sobbing waters Of the
Atlantic on the other 1t is an in
accessible spot which may account
in some measure for it's appeal to
Mr. Watson. He was not the first to
find it, however, for the domicile in
which he lives was built by one of
the opulent members of the Pull
man Car Company. Because Of it's
seclusion it is an ideal place to rest
and dream and work, and Mr.. Wat
son is allotting his time just now as
it pleases him into three portions as
indicated, and then he has time left
to give his visitors, who are rather
numerous, considering the time and
the difficulties necessary to reach
him.
Since I was a small "shaver" liv-
ing in a country town of middle
Georgia [ had not seen Mr. Watson,
until q few days ago. When [ first
saw him the State was rampant with
political discussion, and in my sec
ton the great majority was against
Populism. There were very few
"Pops," as they are contemptuously
&called, in Putnam county. A youth

risive remarks at his personal
Rpearance He was nobody's pretty
"; he was careless of his dress.
recollection is that he wore a
Engham shirt without collar, jim
Winger coat and frequently pulled
"a red bandanna handkerchief from
his hip pocket. He had frOWsy hair
yAnd unl1empt whiskers. But he knew
Yhis little piece and he spoke it in
spite of the crowd. He smiled at
their remarks, exhibited the most i'm
perturbable good humor throughout
and finally won the attention of his
hearers. I expected to see much the
same manner of man in Watson, but
I was mistaken. He was neatly
dressed a small wiry man with a
winning smile, a fOrelock that fell
over his forehead as he spoke, he
hand a pleasant voice and was con-
vincing pleader. Those were my
early impressions, and they have
weighed much with me in refraining
from the harsh judgments that have
been passed upon Watson in late
years.
Recently 1 had a nearer view of
him. l visited him at his winter
home near Lauderdale for an hour,
and saw something of this so-called
fire brand at close range. He has
grown some stouter with the years.

red-headed, but he is not; his hair

it is a severe test to place
them beside the work OF
other artists. You know
that the pictures regularly
printed in our SUNDAY
MAGAZINE haven't suffered.
By the way, Mr.. Keller has
complimented us very highly
on our reproductions of his
paintings. and it is the kind of
praise for which we are very
grateful. 1t proves that
hard trying and intelligence
always count in the long
run.
No, our next issue is not
plain, even if it is just plain

when Tim and Dinny were
grieving over the untimely
death of Pat, who succumbed
to a cave-in, Dinny couldn't
quite subscribe to Tins
praise that Pat was the best
