Down In q little Florida town two
negro families live In shanties about
stones throw apart. They obtain
their drinking water from a shallow
open we'll located midway between the
two houses. A fence which separates
the two yards is built up to the well
on both sides. Every evening after
her days work Is done, II Is the Gus
tom Of one of the negro mammies to
pick up buckets and go to the well for
water. One day the owner OF the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where 1t originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for 1t. Walk
Ing hurriedly along the beaten path.
she plunged into the shallow well with
Z splash. Her screams brought i'm
mediate assistance, and as she climb

saw him coming and wondered at bis
great haste, halted him and said:
Whats the matter. Jimson? :?
What's your great hurry this morn
ing?"
"Hurry?" Jimson repeated, why,
don't you know the President Is to De
in town to-day?"
"Oh, 1 see.'' the farmer replied.
You want to get there in time to see
him."
It's not that that makes me hurry"
1T ain't?"
