A GARLAND.
Let me a garland twine
For poets nine,
Whose verse
I love best to rehearse.
For each a laurel leaf.
One stanza brief,
I make
For memory’s sweet sake
First, then, Theocritus,
Whose song for us
Still yields
The fragrance of the fields.
Next, Horace, singing yet
Of love, regret,
And flowers:
This Roman rose is ours.
Omar-Fitzgerald next,
Within whose text
There lies
A charm to win the wise.
Then Shakespere, by whose light
All poets write:
The star
Whose satellites they are!
Herrick then let me name,
Whose lyrics came
Like birds
To sing his happy words.
Then Keats, whose jewel rhyme
Shines tor all time.
To tell
Of him the gods loved well.
Longfellow next I choose:
For him the muse
Held up
Song’s over-brimming cup.
Next Tennyson, whose song,
Still clear and strong,
Soars high.
Nearing each day the sky.
Then Aldrich—like a thrush
In the dawn’s flush,
Who sings
With dew upon his wings.
These are the nine, above
Whose leaves I love
To lean.
My happiness to glean.
Theirs are the books that hold
Joy’s clearest gold
For me.
W rought into melody; A
Theirs are the words to start
Within my heart
The fire
Of song and song’s desire!

"THE UNDRESSED KID.”
I
BT It, L. KETCH I’M.

SMU?’*' \ to the palpable
fact that the parental bedslat or trunk
atrap had been allowed to get dusty
between ‘whalings,” when the Infant
had been of yet more tender years, be
stowed upon his tormentor the sobri-
quet by which he was ever after known.
It was not that the Kid’s years were
so few—he was twenty-two—but he was,
oht such a “kid.” He had evideutiy
mingled with men for several years, but
the association did not seem to have
rubbed off any of the marks of extreme
youth, at least in his behavior, and no
one ever thought cf smiling, even when
Shorty Fleming, the boss's youngest
brother, aged eighteen, addressed the
Kid by any one of his numerous diminu
tives.
One could not help liking the Kid, in
•pite of his pranks, for he was always so
good-natured and obliging. If he was
ready to cut up a hair-brush and scatter
the bristles in some tired fellow's bunk
about bed-time, he was just as ready to
do double duty in case his victim hap
pened to be ill.
There were a few chickens at the
ranch, and one of the Undressed's chief
est joys was to feed them corn with a
string and stick attachment, and laugh
himself almost to death at their frantic
efforts to kick themselves loose. But if
one of those same chickens happened to
be hurt or ill, he would nurse it just as
a woman might.
On the occasion when he stuck shoe
maker’s wax on Hank Barr’s saddle, and
Hank came in to supper and made sar
castic remarks, the Kid felt himself a
bora humorist, and one would have
thought that capers of this sort were his
highest aim in life; but it wa3 he who,
after a cold, hard day's, work, rode
twenty miles on a stormy night to get a
•urgeon to set the leg Hank had broken
in the evening. But pranks are pranks,
and the prankee seldom takes the same
view of them as does the prankist; and
and thus it came to pass that the Kid’s
Ught-mindedness, together with his ever
lasting jokishness, brought upon him the
•corn of his fellow-laborers at the “HX.”
They all liked him well enough, but
that was all. They never considered
him or included him in their pjans,
HOMER, BANKS COUNTY. GA„ WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1892.
•xcept when there was some uncomfort
able duty to perform. In fact, they
paid very little attention to him. Briefly,
he acted like a fifteen-year-old, and was
so treated.
The next spring, Miss Mary Brooke
appeared on the scene, as a visitor to
Colonel Hanford’s, six miles south ot us.
She came, she saw—and the rest of it.
Women are vary scarce in our vicinity,
especially young and pretty ones, and,
to our unaccustomed eyes, Venus, and
the three Greeks,and all the test, weren’t
in it with Mary Brooke, and we bowed
down and worshiped like a lot of half
fledged idiots.
We were all serious, too. It was re
markable how many business transactions
Boss Fleming had to talk over with the
Colonel all of a sudden, and howl, the
Scribe, took such a fancy to reading and
discussing Browning with Mrs. Hanford,
who was slightly deaf, aud, therefore,
not easy to converse with. It was not
long, however, before Boss Fleming and
I had the running all to ourselves. Flem
ing, as a near neighbor, a big ranch
owner, and a wealthy man, had a strong
hold on the Colonel, and I, the Scribe,
having stuck to my desk in early youth,
and being, therefore, able to talk a lit
tle on such subjects as interested Mrs.
Hanlord, had quite captivated her, and
the boys. peVceiving this state of affairs,
discreetly withdrew and spent their
evenings as of yore.
All but the Undressed Kid. He, be
ing from Boston—Miss Brooke's home—
also came in for a share of her smiles and
conversation; but, as he showed no signs
of change in his youthful ways, we didn't
pay much attention to him, except to
consider him much in the same light as
one might a nuisance in kilts. He was
in the way, of course, but he didn’t cause
us any worry.
To be sure, we wondered how it was
that Miss Brooke could tolerate his non
sense and chatter, for she was somewhat
staid in her ways, and a person whom
one would hardly suspect of a liking for
levity. The boss and I were both sure
that the Kid’s constant presence would
begin to pall very soon—briefly, he
would make Miss Brooke tired, and we
two could fight it out solely between our
selves.
But, somehow, this state of things
did not come to pass. The Kid man
aged to get in as many calls as did the
boss and I, and, what was worse, usually
had Miss Brooke pretty much to him
self, worse luck to the old folks; and it
made Fleming and myself very weary to
bear her laughing at his time-worn jokes
until the tears rolled down her cheeks.
That the Infant had serious intentions
never entered our heads. Of course, it
was undeniable that Miss Brooke liked
him; but that, we assured ourselves,
was in a spirit of mere good natured tol
erance. Besides, who ever knew of the
Kid ever having a sweetly solemn
thought?
Providence came to our aid about the
middle of July iu the shape of a tele
gram, stating that the Kid's wealthy
father, with whom he had not been on
very good terms—that is, no terms at
all—had gone the way of all humanity,
and that the Kid must come home at
once to look after affairs.
We stere at the Hanfords’, Fleming
and I, that evening, when the Kid, who
had preceded us by an hour or so, took
leave of Miss Brooke. He was not go
ing back to the ranch, having had his
things sent to town, in order to start
early in the morning, and he left shortly
after we arrived.
.Even if we had expected otherwise,
there was nothing touching in the Kid’s
leave-taking. While not quite so light
in his speech as usual, he could hardly
have been accused of seriousness, and he
shook hands with Miss Brooke in the
same hearty way as with the rest of us.
Well, the Kid was off—if not for
good, for several weeks, at least, and
the boss and I were alone in the field,
and both resolved to make hay while
there were no clouds obscuring Sol. We
spent a delightful evening, barring each
other’s presence, and the departed Kid
was only mentioned once, and then by
Miss Brooke, who laughingly related one
of his remarks, adding: “What a jolly,
whole souled boy it is, to be sure!”
■f As we rode home, not much was said;
but when we came in sight of the light*
at the “HX.,” Fleming reined up his
horse, cleared his throat, and said, husk
ily: “Scribe, my boy, I reckon we’re in
the same boat, and we might as well be
frank about it. I’ve”—(he cleared his
throat again)—“made up my mind to
have Mary—Miss Brooke—for my wife—
if she’ll have me. I think you're in the
same fix.”
I nodded, not being able to answer,
and Fleming went on in the same queer
voice: “They say all’s fair in love and
war. I don’t believe it. Nothing is fair
but justice. We are even, now, I think.
Let us be fair with each other, and may
the better man win."
And thus it came about that, without
any more words, we got to calling at
Hanford’s on alternate nights—and—
oh, these women!—each fondly believed
himself the favored one, if favor there
was. Mary—so I thought of her always,
now—talked football with Fleming, who
was an ex-member of the Princeton
team, and talked books and so forth to
me, and we were both as happy as un
fortunate man ever can be under like
circumstances.
September first came, and with it •
telegram to Fleming, from the Kid. I
was in town, and received it, opening it
as I always did the boss’s telegrams and
business letters, to see if it was anything
requiring immediate attention. ~ The
message was dated from Ofcnaha, aud
read:
“J. H. Fleming, HX ranch, , Neb:
“Will arrive on third to stay a few days.
(Signed) A. H. Wheeler.”
I leaned against a telegraph pole and
pondered. Coming, eh? No more un
trammeled calls for Fleming and me.
No—well, it was high time to be up aud
doing. But there was the boss, aud
—this was his night 1
I felt like a martyr as I rode out to
the ranch aud silently handed Jack the
telegram. He read it, and looked at
me.
“Yes, your night it is,” said I; “but
I’ve got to see the Cohnnel about that
joint shipment we’re going to make—so
I’ll go, too. I’ll let you alone, though.”
As we rode over to the Haufords’, we
tried to keep up a semblance of conver
sation, but it was not much of a success.
We were both thinking very hard.
I had finished my busiuess with the
Colonel, and we sat down in his den to
smoke, the Colonel holding up the con
versation. The lamp burned low, and
the old gentleman took it away to be re
filled, leaving me in darkness. He had
hardly gone, when Mary and Fleming
came up on the porch and seated them
selves just outside the window at which
I sat.
I felt like a traitor, but dare not
move, knowing that they would hear
me, aDd Jack might never be able to get
his little speech said. So I had to listen
to Jack’s great, strong bass tones as he
told Mary the old story, which there are
so few ways of telling. When he finished,
there was a brief silence, then Mary’s
voice said, sorrowfully:
“Oh, Mr. Fleming, I am so sorry—so
sorry—but I never dreamed of such a
thing. You and Mr. Faber havo both
been so kind and nice to me, and I
thought you such good friends, but now
—this hurts me so 1 I wish you had
left it all unsaid,and I had never known
that you—you cared for me—because—
if there were no other reason—l have
already promised to marry—” (here
her voice took on a tinge of laughter) ■

How Bears Kill Snakes.
“One fall,” said an old Pennsylvania
trapper. “I was hunting on the barrens
between the Buckhill Crook and the
middle Branch of Brodshead Creek.
Thirty or forty rods away, I saw a bear
dancing around something on tho ground,
and I laid my rifle across a stump and
got behind it. I watched the bear just
as Mr. Bwect did the one on the water
tank, knowing that I could reach him
with a bullet the minute he undertook to
make himself scarce. From his actions
I judged that the bear was angry about
something, but I couldn’t see what he
was dancing around, and I kept my
rifle aimed at him, so as to tire the in
stant I saw he was going to leave the
open for the brush. The bear kept
hopping in a circle, quickly jumped to
one side every little while and appeared
to be getting madder and madder. All
of a sadden the bear waddled away a few
yards, I had to bend on him, and I was
almost ready to pull the trigger, when
the bear stopped. I wanted to see what
he was going to do next, and so I didn’t
shoot. He pawed in the dirt a spell and
then he picked up a round stone, bigger
than his head. He took the stone in his
paws, hugged it to his brisket and walked
on his hind feet toward the spot where
I’d first seen him. When he got to the
spot he walked around it a couple of
times, and then he raised the stone as
high as he could and threw it on the
ground. The bear then danced around
the stone for two or three minutes, when
he suddenly turned tail and took a bee
line for the brush. Seeing that he wa3
going to leave for good, I banged away
at him and brought him to a stop, finish
ing with another bullet. I was anxious
to find out why the bear had thrown the
stone on the ground, and so I got a stick
and rolled it over. Under the stone lay
a dead rattlesnake, coiled up and as flat
as a flounder. —New York Tribute.
A Man and His Cat.
No kinder soul than the late Mr. Ben
jamin P. Shillaber (Mrs. Partington)
could be fouud, search where you might.
To the utmost of his ability he made
love “the greatest thing in the world,"
rescuing those in disgrace and despair,
and giving tireless cheer to the loneiy.
The stranger who met Mr. Shillaber had
something pleasant to remember him by
always, and long acquaintance only
ripened one’s friendship for the man.
Through years of ill health and much
suffering the same sunny disposition
flowed on; the nearest he ever came to
complaining was to perpetrate some
laughable satire on his own condition.
Mr. Shillaber was most devoted to
his family, and each living creature in
and about home shared his affection.
His pet for years was a large cat named
Beauty, which the artist Whistler would
style “a symphony in yellow.” Sul
phur, I believe, is the normal color of
a cat's eyes; this cat suggests to one who
has seen geysers the boiling over and
incrusting process by which they are
ringed around with differing shades—
the yellow of its eyes being distribued
to the tip of its tail. Only a few min
utes before its master's death Beauty
came and was received into his arms,
nestling there lovingly. The affection
ate animal has outlived him, but not the
memory of him; it still seeks and mourns
the kind man in the vacant place.—

THE f '. LOUIS CONFERENCE.
No assemblage of citizens, perhaps in
in the history of this country, has ever
excited such deep and universal interest
as the one which will convene in the city
of St. Louis on the 22nd inst. The great
industrial elements will there be repre
sented. They ure to meet and consult
together for the common good. The
men who go there will be sent to repre
sent the sentiments of their respective
constituencies. They will not go there to
carry out their own peculiar and individ
ual views. They are not to work in the
interest of any particular political party.
They are to do the very best thing for
tho relief aud welfare of the people who
sent them there. We regret to see some
disposition in certain quarters to puck
that t.ody. We would quietly give out a
friendly note of warning—if any man
goes to that conference and assumes to
drive his pe pie into a false position, he
will be repudiated, as he should be, by
his people. Let the people be watchful,
firm and faithful and they will triumph.

California Farmers’ Alliance (Stock
ton, Cal.) says: Many of those who
laughed at the Associated Press accounts
of the convention of the Farmers’ AIIU
ance at Indianapolis, and were in high*
git e when they heard that the Alliance
had split and tha* it would fust go to
piects after the convention, which they
believed was a failure, are now wearing
faces as long and as serious looking as a
Mormon preacher at the funeral of his
first wife, when they learn the truth
through the teform press. They
begin to realize now that tho con
vention was a grand success instead of a
failure, aud that the split, which they
thought would break up the Alliauoe,
did not umount to anything except in
purifying the ranks of the Alliance by
weeding out the undesirable material that
had found its way into the organization.
It woriics the enemies of the Alliance
considerably to think—now that they are
learning the truth—(hat instead of the
Alliance going to pieces it is increasing
.in membership and gaining a stronger
foothold every day. They know that the
success of the Alliance means death to
monopoly and a speedy ending of the
unjust revenue that are now being de
rived from the honest labor of the farmer,
mechanic and laborer. So it is uot to be
wondered at that those leeches of hu
manity who are enemies of the Alliance,
go about wearing a long and serious
looking face for they have a good cause
to look worried.

PLEDGING THE PEOPLE.
It is now about time for the ringster
politicians to begin to put in their work.
They will begin now to look out for the
most prominent and influential alliance
men in neighborhoods and counties and
districts, and offer to trade with them.
They will • Her to aid these brethren in
securing a nomination for commissioner,
sheriff, county treasurer, derk or for the
legislature, provided this allianceman
will work for a certain man for congress,
or a stile ( r federal office. Already the
old ringsters have fixed up their slate
and are trying to rope in the alliancemen
by every conceivable device to pledge
themselves for a certain man for
governor. We warn all the Alliancemen
of the State uot to be ensnared in their
trap. Stand right square up on your
shoe bottoms and swear that you intend
to vote for no man in this year of our
Lord, 1892, for any responsible office,
who belongs to the “rings” or is tied up
with railroads or any other corporate
monopoly. Go further and say that you
will vote for no man who does not stand
solidly and squarc'y on our principles.
This is the way to win. This is the road to
success and honor. Don’t be gulled by
the soft cooings of designing men.
Stand or fall by your principles. We are
watching the manamverings of certain
people, and we say now, once for all that
if any.attempt is made to blind and de
lude our people into the support of men
whose record proves that they have
been no friends of the people we will
open with some guns that will demolish
things. We tell the alliance to keep
its eyes open for the enemy’s - emissaries
and 1 for foes within. Tricks are at work.
Keep a sharp lookout for them.—Pro

ALL SOLID.
A recent Washington dispatch says:
The people’s party of the l ouse of repre
sentatives is in fact a noliacal oreaniza-
tion aud 19 united as to the party meas
ures which it is to press upon the two
houses of the Fifty-second congress. In
the caucus which met before the organi
zation of the house and nominated Rep
resentative Watson of Georgia as a can
didate of the people’s party for speaker
of the house, it was decided to preserve
their political autonomy on all questions
to the end of the session. Within
the past few days various reports
of an alleged division in the ranks of the
people’s representatives have been cur
rent, and third patty men complain that
these rumors have been inspired by the
politicians of other parties and were tel
egraphed to the partisan press through
out me country purely tor political effect.
So saline are these rumors in their incep
tion that the regul r representatives of
the peop'e’s party has issued the follow
ing address to tho country:
‘ - To correct an erroneous account which
has appeared in the public prints in ref
ference t > the dissension in the ranks of
the alliance cougrcs-men, we make the
following statement:
“At no meeting of the alliance mem
bers of congiess was there a motion or a
suggestion that they should join the
democratic party or cast their lot with it.
“Some cougrcs-ir a thought the con
test should be made . long'' the old Dar
ios ami others thought in icpendent
political action was necessary.
“There ha 9 been no split between the
people’s paity representatives; we are
united and tho only dissension that has
come amoug the alliance members, came
when we had a conference with congress
men who adhere to the old party lines.”

WHAT IS TUB ALLIANCE?
Under the above caption the Southern
Alliance Farmer (Atlanta, Ga.,) gives
what it believes to be the true work and
status of the h armer’s Alliance as an or
ganization. We quote as follows:
“This is a question for the considera
tion of all honest citizens, but especially
is it of direct importance to the members
of the order, some of whom though zeal
ous and faithful in the discharge of what
they consider tho duties and obligations
of alliancemen, have yet but an imper
fect knowledge of the organization ns it
was founded or exists, and it behoves us
in view of the very great importance of
the subject to study it closely uud delib
erately and to reflect upon the nature of
our order and its relations to the politi
cal world as well as the national govern
ment. The nature of our organiza
tion is a fraternal one; this implying a
peaceable and united body; a freedom
from prejudice or antagonism, in other
words a brotherhood in which a mutual
interest and a mutual regard is estab
lished, founded upon the principle of
justice and formed for the relief of a
down-tvodden, oppressed and impover
ished people. This is, then, the outline
survey of the alliance. Now its political
character, or rather its relation to the po
litical world. To this it is an alien for
eign in all its bearings and laws. In its
very foundation stands the pillar as a cor
ner stone declaring its non-partisan prin
ciples, by virtue of its extent and the ter
ritory it invades it can carry no atom of
partisan politics in its structure. It gathers
a memner irom tho ranks of democracy
aud another from the republican camps,
and it pledges its honor to these opposing
elements, thus assuring them that it is
not a political party and has no fealty
with politics, it is positively non-parti
san, it advertises itself as interfering with
no man’s religion or politics; he that is a
Democrat may be a Democrat still; he
that clings to the tenents of the Repub
lican party may still hold his allegiance
to it. We invite them to join us, not to
interfere with these things, for over these
issues wdktake no surveillance. We ask
them to come into our brother
hood, a true Alliance, formed and
established upon the Ocala platform
and above all party prejudices or fa
vors, above the preferment of factions,
a platform that is built upon principles
fixed and immutable as truth. King
doms shall be overthrown, dynasties pss
away, principalities and powers shall fail,
mon ircbfes be lost and empires become
republics, but the principles upon which
the doctrines of the Alliance are built can
never fail. Men may tower like intel
lectual giants above their fellowmen and
yet they must be laid low and sleep the
sleep of death, measures may succeed for
a while and then fail, political factions
may flourish and triumph for a while and
then fall and sink into oblivion, but the
grand principels that propagated the
Alliance and upon which it is built is as
old as the creation and came with the
breath of immortality that made man a
living soul, and is as firm as the ever
lasting hills and the adamantine rocks.
The organization through the incapacity
of man to grasp and maintain the idea,
or through his weakness to govern his
prejudice, or his inability to comprehend
its vast and noble designs, may be dis
rupted and fail to accomplish the object
for which it was originated, but its prin
ciples are fixed and can never fail, and
from time to tirno they will gather them
selves into force and organize for
action, and the day will come when
truth rising superior to error will as
sert itself and be recognized. Sooner or
later the Alliance will triumph and it
now remains with you brethren to gay
whether it shall be this year or next or a
decade of years. If you are true to your
selves, true td your obligations and true
to the great and mighty principles upon
which our order is established, the milen
nium morn for the farmers is even now
dawning. But if you get up dissensions
in your family forgetting the principles
of your order aud trying to establish fac
tions and parties and to set up idols ol
