ABAND0NS FARM
Once Prosperous Farmer Comes Into
 Shops in Mississippi

Jackson, Miss. July 9.-(Special1- 1-- A one-time prosperous farmer of Amite county, a man who made cot ton his chief crop. and who never got over the disastrous habit. has abandoned his farm and come to Jackson to accept Job in the ra,l- road shops taking a place made va cant by one of the strikers.
 The gentleman from Amite states that a number of farmers in his county have lost all hope of making crop of cotton. the boil weevil and the rains having done their worst, and some of them have done as he d,d, leaving the good wife and tho children to make the best crop they can while they sought employment elsewhere.
 Reports reach here from the delta that corn is burning up for lack or rain. On the great convict farm at Parohman, where thousands of acres are devoted to corn. and the prospect few weeks ago was for 200,0U0 bushels, there is said to have been 25 per cent damage. That Is the es- timate of Superintendent Williamson, and Travelling Sergeant Nunncry places the damage higher.

MARGARET

At Dr. Milton's remark that Glen dening had described Margaret better than he could do it himself the two lawyers flashed looks of inquiry at their friend. Apparently he did not realize he had spoken for he made no response to their unspoken ques- tions. So, after a moments silence, Clavering went on reading:
 Of course, did not realize at our first meeting all the things I have been telling you, Jim, of the beauty. personality and characteristics of Margaret-I mention her name know ing she cannot be identified by It. but l did feel kind of interest that l had never felt for anyone, man or woman. before I met her.
 I kept her talking about her tories longer than was necessary simply to see here eyes light up with enthusi- asm; simply to see the color como and go In her face. simply to watch her hands move quick and graceful gestures.
 She has the most striking hands I have ever seen. and they typify the side of her character that is most surprising. They arc small, dim pied and childishly beautiful. They look as though they were useless hands, and yet I know that they have ministered for days on end to the broken and downtrodden. hay seen them with ugly burns across their fairness after she has cooked a delightful little dinner for us in her apartment.
