LEAKS,

| Il could tell you personally OF w'hat
leaks stand for in housekeeping, where
the flour disappears and the lard does
not hold out, and sugar is slumping, etc
And / could tell you what a leaky root
| stands for in domestic economy and
how expensive it is to repair leaky roofs
and such like. l am sure leaks are dis,
agreeable and continuous disturbances
But of no one of these things am
going to write about this afternoon, be-
cause a leak in the department of state
| in Washington City has absolutely filled
all the daily newspapers and got con-
gress in state. of frenzied agitation
| regarding the people who profited or
| the tip otherwise called leak. and which
struck twenty-five dollars from the val
ue of every selling bale of cotton in a
single night, and filled the pockets OF
those who were tipped as to the leak
by untold millions of money.
We had a similar experience some
years ago with the leaks in the agricul-
turaI department in Washington City.
Two men and one woman were employ
ed to fix up the crop reports on cotton.
A few hours before they were to furnish
the report to the public printer they
sent private dispatches to cotton spec
ulators in New York and the specula-
tors sold out, if the crop was large or
bought in, if the crop was low in
figures 1t was terrible and fully un-
covered. The truth about the matter
is the country is helpless. Men who
will lie, will steal and vice versa. As
long as human nature is what it is, men
will lie when they are caught up with
and as Bill Tweed said, Whats you
going to do about it," 1t is painful
fact, but a true one, the country is sur
charged with graft and graftera

hall. 1 was not unconscious that 1 made
an attractive picture. The man spoke
first.
Good evening"" he said

answer him. l wanted very much to be-
have properly while 1 was the guest of
Mr.. Colby's sister. / wanted very much
to learn to conduct myself in the poised
yet casual manner which was character

been thrown in contact during the last
week. But I was at a loss. | did not
know what l should do in a circumstance
such as this Apparently, however, the
man who stood before me was at ease.
Il am Mr.. Adams" he said, as he
took a step or two toward me. at

to await Mrs. Henderson's offices before
we speak?'
He held out his hand. 1 gave him
my own hand, reluctantly.

Splendid" said Mr.. Adams, and cool
ly: Just where 1 was going. We might
as well go together"

as a diet agreed with me. In ten min
utes Mr. Adams and I were ensconced
on a bench in the garden chatting as
though we were old friends.

you at dinner?" he asked.

any idea whether or not Mrs. Henderson
has other guests coming in"

prived of any opportunity to express
His tone was light How was L to
know that what his words expressed
was but an exaggeration of what he
really felt? Was this only a bantering
habit of his? 1 fancied that Mr.. Adams
had fallen in love with me at first
glance. l wondered if he was rich l
peeked at him from beneath my eyelids,
trying to decide whether l should like
being married to him. And 1 saw him
studying me, too. Irfelt certain point
edness in his manner growing beneath
his banter. But L misunderstood it's
meaning.
At dinner Mr.. Adams did actually
manage to sit next to me. He so en-
gagged my attention l was unable to
talk very much to the man who sat at
my other side. For a brief time, when
the coffee was served iR the library, he
left me to talk to our hostess. But al
most at once he returned to me and sug-
gested that we walk again in the gar
den. How was | to know that this
invitation was unconventional; some

groes and turtles thrive in this part Of
the country. As L spoke of the big saw
mills. in Louisiana and Mississippi in
a previous letter l will not tell about
them again. But it is a sight to see
them The train reached the great
Father of Waters about noon. 1t was
from this point that we could get a
fine view of this city of Civil war fame.
II took just about one hour to cross the
river in the ship which took train and
all. i have written about the country
from vicksburg to Atlanta, so / shall
not take up your time to mention these
things again. except l will mention a
few words about the effects of the boil
weevil in Mississippi. In some portions
Of Mississippi the people are pretty blue
over the loss of cotton crops. Lots of
negroes went north in search of big
wages and low cost of living. But since
they have reached there they have found
that the agents misrepresented condi-
tons in the north, and they are wanting
to return south. Many of them are suf-
fering up there. No doubt when they
do get back they will stay; for the
south is the place for them, and the
southern people are their best friends.
After reaching Elberton, Ga. the first
of Christmas. was glad to rest from
crowded, slow, and late trains and loss
of sleep.
L am having a splendid time, but will
return to Amarillo, Tex, in February.

shake their hands and say 81 am glad
to see you" I hope to write you anoth-
er letter soon.
