CHAPTER u.

Tho Early Birds and the Worm.
In the enormous barn Of the rail-
road station stood many strings of
cars, as if gigantic young Gulliver
stabbed his toys there and invisibIy
amused himself; now whisking this
one away, now backing that other in.
Some of the trains were noble equip
ages, fitted to glide across the whole
map with cargoes of Lilliputian mil
lionaires and their Lilliputian ladies.
Others were humble and shabby
linkedup day-coaches and dingy
smoking-cars, packed with workers,
like ants.
Cars are mere vehicles, but locomo-
tives have souls. The express en-
gines roll in or stalk out with gran
deur and ease. They are like en-
perors. They seem to look with scorn
at the suburban engines snorting and
grunting and shaking the. arched

Then he took from his pocket an

envelope bore Chinese stamp.
The porter, as he struggled with an
obstinate window, wondered what
sort of passenger fate would send him

Adiudged Insane

Geo. w. Rasco, who has been
a citizen Of Floyd county for a
number of years and has been
recognized as good citizen by
all, unfortunately became de-
ranged last Sunday and was
necessarily confined in the coun-
ty jail. On Monday a jury was
empanelled and pronounced him
insane and recommended confine-
ment until his condition should
become better. He will possibly
be carried to the Asylum for the
insane at a later date.
1t is thought entirely possible
that the effection of the brain is
caused by a nervous irritation in
the hand and that his nervous
system has been undermined by
inattention to the physical needs.
Physicians believe that a short
period in the asylum under the
daily care of experts will restore
Mr. Rasco to his Normal condi-
ton. - Floydada Hesperian.

Beauty Of the Town Is Badly Marrsd
II They Are Allowed TO Show

Half the charm OF the New Eng
land towns and villages that every
year are drawing more summer resi-
dents and motor tourists from be-
yond the Hudson, surely the better
half, is merely a matter of what the
old assessors called the home lot.
Arching elms, like those of Hadley

prairie towns cannot duplicate; but
the aesthetic value even of q shade
tree varies with what 1t shades; II
its shadows move on open windows
and green. close shaven lawns, that
is one thing; If they fall on broken
fence and tangled weeds. the tree
itself is little noted. Width of street,
ample space between the houses,
efficient lighting systems. these all
are needed for a pleasing village or
pleasing city yard; they only in
crease the disappointment II the door
yard show neglect.
All the more pity that. In conse-
quence of the steadily growing vaca-
ton habit, the very roadways that
should most delight the visitors with
trinity kept lawn and cleanly swept
walk, with clipped hedge and well
ordered flower border, now repel his
eye and quicken the pace that should
be slowed for leisurely enjoyment.
Every second or third house Is closed;
the shutters are folded in upon the
windows; the approaches are dusty
and Uttered; the lawn is gray with

desolation blights the cheer and fresh
