BT HOKATIO ALGEB.Jn. “Be off from here, you little beg gar!” said Oscar Ronalds imperi ously. The speaker was a well dressed boy of 14, and the words were ad dressed to a boy of about his own age and his sister of 8. The contrast between their outward appearance was striking. Oscar was of light complexion, and looked like a pet ted child of the aristocracy. He held a club in his hand, which, it might be judged Irom his scowling face, he would not be unwilling to use. John Walton, who confronted him without fear, was a stouter boy than Oscar. His complexion was dark, his hair, black as the raven’s wing, hung over his fore head. His clothing was coarse and well worn, his pants were tucked up nearly to hi3 knees, and shoes and stockings were luxuries which he dispensed with. His little sis ter, terrified by Oscar’s rude man ner, clung to her brother in af fright. “Don’t be scared, Lizzie,” said John. “He won’t dare touch us.” “Won’t I, though?” said Oscar, clutching his stick tighter. “Not if you know what is best for yourself,” said John, looking fixedly at him. “You have no business here, yon beggar,” said Oscar furiously. iYT am no beggar,” said the bare foot boy proudly. “This is my father’s land. Can you deny that?” demanded Oscar. I know it is, and I suppose it will be yours some day.” “Then, why have you intruded here?” “1 did not suppose it would do any harm to pick a few berries, which would otherwise decay on the vines.” . Then you know it now. I don’t care for the berries, but I don’t want any beggar’s brats on my fa ther’s place.” “Stop there, young master,” said John firmly. “Yon called me a beggar aud I did not care much, but if yon call my mother by that name you’ll be sorry.” “I?” said Oscar contemptuously. What will you do?” “I’ll beat you with that stick you hold in your hand.” “Then 1 do call her a beggar,” said Oscar furiously. “What are •you going to do about it?” “You’ll see.” John Walton let his sister’s hand fall, and springing, upon Oscar wrenched the stick from his hand, laid it oyer his back with sharp emphasis three times, and then flung it into the pool hard by. Leaving his young enemy pros trate,. betook his terrified sister by the hand and - saying, “We’ll go home now, Lizzie,” walked quietly away. Oscar picked himself up, morti fied and furious. He would have pursued John and wreaked instant vengeance upon him if he had dared, but in the hands of the young savage, as he mentally char acterized him, he had felt his own utter inability to cope with him, aud resolved that vengeance should come in another shape. “My father should turn the beg gars out of house and home,” he mattered. “I wish they might starve.” The father of Oscar Ronalds was the proprietor of a handsome house and a large landed estate, including several tenements which he rented out. In the poorest of these lived John Walton and his mother. They lived poorly enough; how it would be hard to tell, but at all events they lived and never sought help. When John told the story of bis encounter to his mother she was dis turbed, fearing that trouble'might come of it. So, indeed, it did The next morning Squire Ron alds, with his stiff, erect figure, was seen approaching the widow’s cot tage. Mrs. Walton opened the door “Won’t yon come in, Squire Ronalds?” she said nervously. “No, madam, I have but a word to say, and that is soon said. Are -you aware that your boy grossly insulted my son, Oscar, yester day?” “He told me tliat Oscar called me names, aud he knocked him down. He has a hasty temper.” “Your son is a ruffian, ma’am. “Not so bad as. that. He is a good boy to me, Squire Ronalds.” “It is a pity be cannot treat oth ers with proper respect” “Do you think he was wholly to blame?” “Certainly lie was. My son he said abruptly: _ j caught him tresspassing on my “Will you tell me your name? land, and very properly ordered Your face looks familiar.” him off.

GEORGIA WEATHER SERVICE. TRYING TO FORCE AN ISSUE. “How Long Will He Hold Out?” John, who had been inside and heard what had been said; came forward loosing resolute and self- sustained. I shall not apologize to Oscar, sir,” he said. “It is he who should apologize to me. 'Apologia to you! That would look well, would it not?” said the squire scornfully. “It would be right,” said John firmly. “You are an impudent young tune,” said John. “If I can be of I am Oscar Ronalds,” said the other in a low voice. “Is it possible?” exclaimed the three, and they involuntarily glanced at the ill clad stranger. “I see what yon are thinking of. I don’t look much like the boy you used to know. I bave been wild and extravagant, and lost or squander ed all my property*,. 1 have gone down hill—you have gone up. “I am sorry' for your misfor- rascaL” Mother,” said John quietly, “there is no use listening further. I shall not apologize, and am ready to take the consequences. Don’t be alarmed. I’ll take care of you.” “You must leave this house to morrow,” roared Squire Ronalds, in a very undignified rage, stamp ing his gold headed cane upon the ground. “Very well,” said John.” Good day, sir,” and closed the door, leaving the squire under a vague impression that he had got the worst of the encounter. “What shall we do, John?” said Mrs. Walton dismally. “I’ll tell you, mother,” said John. There is nothing for me to do here. We’ll go to Brandon, where there are woolen mills. Then I can get a chance to work, and I’ll rise, never fear. It is best for ns to go.” The next day Mr. Ronalds’ tener ment was empty, and no one" feBew where the family had gone. Oscar exulted in what he regarded as his triumph. * # '•* * « * Twenty years passed. To the barefooted, boy they brought won derful changes. At 84 he found himself superintendent of the mill where he had entered as a pdbr op erative, earning a salary of §5,000 a year. He had built a handsome house, over which his mother pre sided with matronly dignity. His sister Lizzie was the wife of a young physician \in successful practice in the samejown. One’wmter evening they were all seated in a luxuriously furnished room, before a glowing fire. His sister had come to spend the after noon, but was prevented fby the violent storm from returning to. her ome. ‘What ^ storm it is!” -.she ex claimed shuddering. “I pity those who are out in it.” “Yes,” said her brother, “it is the most violent storm of the year. The snow must be two feet deep at least. But we need noir feel troubled. It is summer in doors.” “Who wouldbave thought, John, we should eome to live in . such comfort?” said his mother. “Twen ty years ago we were poorly off. ‘I well remember it. It was a lucky thing that we came to Bran don.” . “So it has turned out. But I’ was alarmed when you quarreled with young Oscar Ronalds.” “I have forgiven him. The harm he intended has only done us good. “Have you heard anything of him lately?” Not lately. His father died ten years siuce, and I am told Oscar is very extravagant, that is all.” The storm increased in violence, shaking the house, firm and strong as it was. All at once the door bell rang sharply. I’ll • go myself,” said John. “The servant may not be able to close the door again.” He opened the front door, and a sharp catting wind entered with a flurry of snow, “Will you give me shelter?” said a faint voice. It was a man who spoke, still young. He stepped in quite ex hausted. John Walton closed the door. “You haye bad a bard struggle with the storm, have you not?” be said. “I have indeed. I am ohilled-to the bone.” “Come in to the fire,” and «Johq threw open the door of the sitting room. service to you I will.’ “I came here hoping to get the post of clerk, which I understood was vacant. If I had known you were here I would not have come.” “And why?” “Because you cannot have for gotten my ill treatment of you.” “It is,not forgotten, but quite forgiven,” said John Walton kind ly. “Unconsciously you did me a service. The clerkship you seek is mine to bestow.. You shall have it, and I will guarantee ydur good conduct. The salary will be small, only §800.” It will be a fortune to me who am penuiless. God bless you, John Walton, for your generosity. You shall not find your confidence ill bestowed.” I have no more tell, except then and there began a new and better life for Oscar, who was after a while promoted, and now has a ( modest and cheerful home of his own with a good wife to add to his happiness.

Sir:— The following extract from the .first monthly, report of theJJeor- gia Weather Service may be of in terest to your readers. In accordance with the progres sive spirit of the new Weather Bu reau, it was resolved early in the month of October to -establish in Georgia a state, weather service, such as has for some years existed in some of the states. The duty of organizing such a service was as signed to Mr. ParkMorrill, the re cently appointed Forecast Official of Georgia, whose office is in the Government Building at Atlanta. The basis of the service already exists in fifteen volunteer observ ers, who have in the past taken daily observations and made regu lar monthly reports to the central office of the Weather Bureau at Washington. There are also in the state some twenty cotton-region observers, making reports during the cotton-growing season, and whose services it is hoped to se cure as voluntary observers during the winter months. Twenty-five sets of new instruments have been provided the Weather Bureau and will equip as many additional sta tions so soon as properly located observers shall have been secured. The advantages of a State Ser vice are so numerous and so clear ly evident that it is thought there will be no difficulty in securing ca pable and trustworthy observers as rapidly as instruments can be supplied. The value of accurate climatic data is beyond question in numberless ways. It supplies the information as to rainfall on the various watersheds of the state nec essary to guide cities and towns in building water and sewerage sys tems. It determines the conditions as to heat, moisture, winds aud other matters, of the highest value to the intelligent farmer. It forms the only basis for judging of the various claims of different sections as health resorts. It puts invalu able information into the hands of physicians in dealing with epidem ic diseases. It will also be the means of securing better forecasts of the weather, by disclosing local peculiarities of climate. In its ul timate development it will render possible local wai-nings of frost and flood and possibly of hail and thunder storms. An important adjunct of the Georgia Weather Service will be its system of weekly crop report bulletins, which will be inaugu rated at the opening of next Spring and will continue throughout the growing season. These weekly re ports of weather and crop are proving a powerful check upon dishonest speculation, which seeks to disturb market prices to the se rious loss of the fanner. Sent by telegraph to the great trade cen ters and published every week in the papers, they convey reliable in formation as to the exact conditions of the crops, and with increased efficiency are checking false ru mors and reports. It is hoped ultimately to secure an observation in every county of the, state, aud a crop reporter in .nearly every town. The funds at the dis posal of the Weather Bureau do not render it possible to furnish this number of sets of instruments, but no better investment conld be made on the part of town or city councils, or comity authorities than the purchase of the necessary ther mometers and raingauges where with to establish for their comma- ties fixed standards of temperature and rainfall. ’ - The Monthly Weather Review issued by the Weather Bureau, the Monthly Report of the Georgia Weather Service, and the weekly Weather drop Bulletin, all of which are sent to voluntary ob servers, form a most valuable com pendium of weather information, and with the forecasts aud frost, storm and cold wave warnings, to the increasing accuracy of* which the voluntary observations direct ly contribute, make full return for the money and labor expended in establishing and maintaining observation station; ’A system of flag stations, for the dissemination by weather and tem perature signals of the daily fore casts and warnings, will form - a part of the Georgia Weather Ser- vice. Already a small number of stations are in operation and more will be added as rapidly ar arrange ments are made for the proper display of the signals and the ren dering of the required monthly re ports, I have the honor to remain, Your obendient servant, Paek Mop.f.i ’ Director Georgia Weather f . Greenesboro Herald-Journal. The advocates of a‘ Third party organization who attended the meeting of the National Farmers’ Alliance at Indianapolis recently made themselves obnoxious, not only to some of the delegates to that convention, but to a large number of alliancemen, by their endeavors to force the Alliance in to open political action and conse quent Alliance dissension and di vision. We admit there are some mem bers of the Alliance in many of the states who honhstly believe that the demands which they urge can be easily obtained by breaking from their present political ranks and forming a Third party organi zation. We cannot possibly agree with them in their position, bat we accord them full honesty of pur pose and sincerity of intention. On the other hand, there are numbers of allikncemen who are firmly convinced that the Alliance, as an organization, is overstepping its legitimate province when it en deavors to dictate, in any degree, the political opinions,'or direct the political action of its members. They understood the Alliance as having been organized to advance the material interests of the farm ers, and by co-operation and com bination direct the ideas and ef forts of its members into practical channels. They understood, when they became members, that their political and religious convictions were not to be interfered with, or any influence brought to bear to change them in these affiliations. The effort,therefore,oE the Third party men is a violation of this compact. They ask the endorse ment of the Alliance for the Peo ple’s party—as much a political class, organized for political pur poses, as any other party. There are members of the Alliance who will not abide by any sneh en dorsement, and will refuse to be dictated to by the organization as to their future organization, or as to their future affiliations. It would be no more unreasonable for the Alliance to adopt a religions or ganization and] ask] and require their members to abandon the churches with which they have af filiated, aud become adherents and communicants of a “People’s church.” We say there are many members of the order who look on the at tempt of the Third partyites to control the Alliance as a political machine, injthisl light, and as an outcome they will refuse to be led. Necessarily, dissensions will arise and the power of the. order for practical aud effective benefit be destroyed. We believe the organ ization can accomplish good, but we believe that when it endeavors to coerce or to direct the political opinions of its members, it will drive good and true men from its ranks, weakening the order and destroying its power as au organi zation for practical and substantial benefits.
