Express, rail train and telegraphic
communication are su?gsst^d, if not
foretold, in this text, aud from it I
start to presch a sermon in gratitude
to God and the newspaper p'-ess for
the fact that I have had the opportunity
of delivering through the newspaper
press 2 CCO sermons or religious
addresses, so that I bave for many
years been allowed the privilege of
preaching the gospel every we"k to
every neighborhood in Christendom
and in many lar ds outside of Christ- j
erdom. Many have wondered at tfc? !
process by which it has come to pass, j
and for the first tim;j in public place I j
state the thre* causes. Many years!
ago a young man who has since be-;
comeemiDent in his profession "w?s ?
studying law in a disixnt city. He J
csme to me and said that for *ack of :
funds he must stop his studying un !
less through stenography I wyuld give
him sketches of sermons, thai he
might by the sale of them secure
- means for the completion of his edu
cation. I positively declined, because
it seemed to me an impossibility, but i
after some months had passed, and I
had reflected upon Ihd great sadness
for such a'brilliant young rrraa to ba
defeated in his ambition for the legal
prcfession, I undertook to serve him,
of course free of charge. Within
three weeks there came a re quest for
those stenographic reports frojn many
parts of the continent
Time passed or?, and some gentle- j
men of my own profession, evidently ]
thinking that tiiere was hardly room
fat them and for myself in this conti-!
nent, began to asssii me, and became i
so violent in their assault that the
chief newspapers of America put spec
;a1 correspondents in my church Sab
bath by Sabbath to take down such
reply as I might make. I never made
reply, except once for about three
minutes, but those correspondents
could not waste their time,and so they;
telegraphed the sermons to their par- j
ticular papers. After awhile Dr. Louis j
Klopsch of New York systematized I
the work into a syndicate until,
through that and other syndicates he
has put the discourses week by week
before more than 20 000,000 people on
both sides the sea. There have been so
many guesses on this subject, many of
them inaccurate, that I now tell the
true story. I have not improved the'
opportunity as I ought, but"! feel that
the time has come when as a matter of
common justice to the newspaper
press I should make this statement in
a sermon commemorative of the two
thousandth full publication of ser*
\ mons and religious addresses, saying
nothing or fragmentary reports,which |
would run up into many thousands
more.
There was one incident that I might
mention in this connection, shewing
how an insigniheant event might influence
us for a .life time. Many years
ago on a Sabbath morning on my way
to chiirch in Brooklyn a representa
tive of a promnent newspaper me: me
and said, "Are you going to sive us
any points today?" I said, "What do
you mean by points?" He replied, j
"Anything we can remember." I;
said to myself, "We ought to be mak- J
ing 'points' all the time in our pulpits
and not deal in platitudes and inanities."
That one interrogation put to
me that morning started in me the
desire of making points all the time

And now how can I more appropri- I
ately commemorate the two thous-j
andth publication than by speaking j
of the newspaper press as an ally of I
the pulpit ana mentioning some of the j
trials of newspaper men ?
The newspaper is the great educator j
of the nineteenth century. There is j
no force compared with it. It is bDok,
pulpit, platform, forum, aU in one
And there is not an intei est, religious,
literary, commercial, scientific, agri- ]
cultural or mechanical?that is not j
within its grasp. Ail our churches]
and schools and colleges and asylums j
and art galleries feel the quaking of j
the printing press. , .
_ ^ The institution of newspapers arose!
in Italy. In Venice the first.newspa- j
per was published, and monthly, dur- j
ing the time Venice was warring]
against Solyman II in Dalmaiia, it
was printed for the purpose of giving
militarv and commercial information
to the Venetians. The first newspaper
ir, T?r?rtlor>^ woe in 1 rtAft anr?
called The English Mercury. Who
can estimate the political, scientific,
commercial and religious revolutions
roused up in England for many years
past by the press?
The first attempt at this Institution
in Francs was in 1631, by a physician,
who published The Ne^s, for the
amusement and health of his patients.
The French nation understood fully
how to appreciate this power. So
early as in 1820 there were in Paris
' 169 journals. But in the United States
the newspaper has come to unlimited
sway. Though in 1775 there were but
37 in the whole country, the number
of published journals is now counted
by thousands, and today?we may as
well acknowledge it as not?the religious
and secular newspapers are the
great educators of the country.
But alas, through what struc^e the
newspaper lias come to its present development.
Just as soon as it bsgan
. . to demonstrate its power superstition
. and tyranny shackled it. There is
.. nothing that despotism so msc'a fears
. . . and hates, as the printing press. A
great writer in the south of Europe
declared that the king of Naples had
< ; made it unsafe-for him to write on
any subject save natural history.
Austria could not bear Kossuth's journalistic
pen pleading for the redemption
of Hungary. Napoleon I, want.
ing to keep his iron heel on tne neck
of nations, said that the newspaper
was the regent of kings and the only i
safe place to keep an- editor was in
prison. Bu? the great battle for the
freedom.of the press was fought in the
courtrooms ot England and the United
States before this century began, when
Hamilton made his great speech in
behalf of the freedom c* J. Peter Zsneer's
Gazette in America, and wKen
Erskine made his great speech ia behalf
of the freedom to publish Fame's
"Eights of Man" in England. Tsose j
were the Marathon and the Thermopylae
where the battle ?ras fought
which decided the fretdcm of ;hs
press in England and America, and
all the powers of earth and hell will j
never again be able to put upon the!
printing.press the nandcuffs ard thej
hopples of political despotism.
I find no difficulty in accounting
for the world's advance. What has
made the change? "Books," you say.
No, sir! The vast majority of citizens
do not read books. Take this audience
or any othtr promiscuous assemblage,
ana how many histories hare
\ ,
:
they read? How many treatises on;
constitutional law or oolitic*! ecjzo j
my or works of science? Ko^ many j
elaborate pc^ins o~ hocks or travel?;'
No4 nany. IntbeUaiccd St.-'/es t'^ej
Dcople frould no; average one such !

"Whence, tber, thi*3 ictplii&ence, this

consider the newspaper .to be thai

to be preached, i^orarce cast out, j
ooprssfl'oa detroaed, crlm^ extirpated,
the world raised, heaven r- juiced at<d j
Geo. glorified. In tbe clanking of the j
nriaiing press as the sheets fly out I j
near the voice of the Lord almighty
rrcckiminf to all the dead nations of<
the earth, '"Lazarus, come forth!"' and j
to the retreating surges of darknes?, ;
; "Lsfc there be light!" In many of our j
j ciiy newspapers professing no more j
j than secular information, there have
appealed during the past 30 years
some of the grandest anneals; in behalf
of religion and some of the most effective
interpretatiocs of God's governj

I papers?the one good, very }jood; the '

may be started with an undecided!
character, but after it has been going j
on for years everybody finds out just j
what it is, asd 11 is very good or it is
^erv good cr it is very oad. The one
paper is the embodiment of news, the
ally of virtue, the foe of crime, the
deiectation of elevated taste, the
mightiest agency on earth for making
the world better. The other paper is
brigand among mcrai forces; it is a
beslimer of reputation, it is the right
arm of death and hell, it is the
mightiest agency in the universe for
making the world worse and battling
against the cause of God, the one an
angel of intelligence and mercy the S
other a fiend o? darkness. Between

any doubt as to which. is to be victor, |
ask tbe prophecies, ask God; the cbief

lightning perfecting pressss, and the
Sumters, and the Poultries, and the
Pulaskis, and tie Gibraltars of that,
conflict will be the editorial and re
portorial rooms o'f our great newspaper
establishments. Men of the press,
God has put a mere stupendous responsibility-upon
you than upon any
other class of persons. "Wnat long
strides your profession has made in
influence and power since tjie day
when Peter Saeffer invented cist
me till type, and because two books
were found just alike they were ascribed
to the work of the devil, and
books were printed on strips of bamboo,
and Rev. Jesse .Glover originated
the first American printing press,
and the common council of- New
York, in solemn resolution, offered
$200 to any printer who would come
there and jive,;!and when the speaker
of the house of parliament in England
announced with indignation that the
public prints had recognized some of
their doings, and until in this day
when we have in this country many
newspapers sending out copies *07 the
billion, The press and the telegraph
have pone down into the same great
harvest field to reap, and the telegraph
says to the newspaper, 'Til rake,
while you bind," and the iron teetn ot
the ielegrapa are set down at one end
of the harvcsi.fiild and dra wn clean
across, and the newspaper gather up
the sheaves, setting down ore sheaf!
I oiitne oreainast taoie in see snspe or
t a morning newspaper, and putting
| down another sheaf on the tea table
in the shape of an evening ne-spapsr
ana that man that neither cakes if or
reads a newspaper would be a curiosi
tv. What vast progress since the days
when Cardinal Wolsay declared tna.1
either the printing press must go down
or the church o? God must go down
tc this time, when the printirg press
and the pulpit are x in hundreds of
glorious combination and alliance.
One of the great trials of this newspaper
profession is the fact that they
are compelled to see more of the sham
of the world than any other profes!
sicn. Through every newspapjr office
day by day, go the weakaess of the
world", the vanities that ,war.t to be1
puffed, the revenges that want to be !
wreaked, all the mistakes that want
to be corrected, all the dull speakers
who want to be thought eloquent, ail
the me'mness wants to get its wares
noticed gca'.is in the editorial colums
m order 10 save the tax of the adver
using column, an ins men wao wans
to be set right who never was right,
ail the crack brained phiiophers, with
stcry ss long as their hair and as
gloomj as tteir fiager nail, all the
itinerant bores w&o come to stay five
minutes and stop an hour. From the
editorial and repertorial rooms all the
follies and shams of the world are
seen day by day, and the temptation j
is to believe neisher in God, man, nor
woman. It is no surprise to me that
iu your profession there are some
skeptical men. I only wonder that
you believe anything. Unless an
editor or a reporter has in his present
or in his early home a model of earnest
character, or he throw himself
upon the upholding grace of God, he
m&v maKe tempers! and eternal shin
wreck:
Another great trial of the newspaper |
profession is inad?qu?.te compensation i
Since ihr days of Razliitand Sheridan j
3nd Jolin Milton, and tbs waiiings of j
Grub street, Loi-don, iiterary toil, j
with very iew exceptions, has not b.^en |
properly requited. When Oliver {
Goldsmith received a friend in his j
house, .ho (the author) had to sit on j
the window, because there was only j
one chair. Linnaeus sold his splendid I
work for a ducat. De Foe, the author j
of so many volumes, died penniless, j
The learned Johnson dined behind a
screen because his clothes were too {
shabby to allow him to dine with ihe j
gentlemen who, on the other side of 5
the screen, were applauding his works j
And so on down to the present time I
literary toil is a great struggle for'
bread. The "world sv-os to have a|
grudge against a man who, as they }
sqv. pf:ts his livinp' bv his wits, arid I
the day laborer says to the man of
literary toil, "You ccme down here
and shove a plane and hammer, a shoe
last aad break cobblestones and e-irn
an honest living as I do instead of sitting
there in idleness scribbling!"!
Bui there are no harder worked men J
in all the earth than the newspaper j
people o? this country. It is not a ?
mailer cf hard times; it is character j
istic at all times. Men have a better |
appreciation for that which appeals 'o
| the stomach than for that which ap
peals to the brain. Tbey have no idea
of the immense financial and iatellec[
;ual exhaustion of the newspaper.

Another great trial o' the new-paper
pro'essio"? is the diseased appe'i e
for unhealthy ir?telli;?er)ce. Yvu
blame the newspaper pr'*ss for living
such pronnir.erce to murcers and scan i
dais. Do you supcose tbat so irany;
papers wcu'd give p?orr;inence.tothese j
ihin?s if ih* peopie cid not demand j

| whiis the meat that is fresh and savory i
I put away without any special care, j
I come to the conclusion that the peoi
t>ie of that city love tainted n.eat. j
j You know very well tbat 1' tbe great i
mass of people in this country get hold j
I of a newspaner and th?re are in it rx ,
j runaway matches, no broken up fami j
I lies, no defamation o* n:en in high j

' dull .tonight." I believe it is oEe of
i the trials of the newspaper press tbar. ;
! the reople of th s oouatrv derruod j
I moral slush instead of healthy cr:d in j
j tellectual food. Now, you are i re j
j sp^ciaoie man, an intelligent man, :
' s?nd a paper comes into your hand
{ You open it, and there are three ol-1
i umas of splendidly written editorial. |

contemptible divorce case. Which do j
you read first? You dip into the eii i

read the divorce cass from the "long |

Ua, it is only a case or suppiy aau utnoand!
Newspaper men are not foo's
They know what you want, and tbey
give it to you. I oelieve tnat if the
church and the world brought rothirebut
purti honest, healthful newspapers
nothin? but pure, honest aid health-1
ful newspapers would be published, j
li you should gather all the editors
and the reporters of this country in
one sreat convention, and ask of them
what !:icd of a paper tbey would prefer
to ^ablisb, I behave they woulrt
unanimously siy, "We would prefer
to publish an elevating paper." So
Ions as there is an iniquitous demand
there will be an iniquitous supply. I
5 make no apology for a debauched
5 newspaper, but I am saying these
; thiDgs in order to divide the responsibility
be-ween those who print and
J n _ - v j
lacse who reaa. ?
Another trial of this profession is
the fact no cne seems to care for their
souls. They feel bitterly about it,
though they laugh. People sometimes
laugh, the loudest when they feel the
worst, They are expected to gather
up religious proceedings and to dis
cuss religious doctrines in iho editoral
columns, but who expects them to be
saved by the sermons'they stenograph
or by the dcctrines they discuss in the
editorial columns? The world ,looks
upon them as professional. Who
preaches to reporters and editors?
Some of them came froir religious
I homes, and when they left the' pares.
| tal roof, whoever regarded or disrp|
garded, they came off with a father's
benediction and a mother's prayer.
They never think of those good old
times but tears come into their eje?,
and they mcva through these great
cities homesick. Oh, if thty only
knew what a helpful thing it is for a
msn t^ nut his we&rv head down on
the bosom of a sympathetic Christ!
He knows how nervous and tired you
are. He has a heart large enough to
take in all you? interests for this world
and the next. Oh, men of the news-!
paper press you sometimes get sick of
this world, it seems so hollow and unsatisfying!
If there are any people in
all tae earth that need God, you are the
men. and you shall have him if only
this day you implore his mercy.

Nine Parcons Burned to Death la a Tenemeat
Fire?They Perished ^elore the

Names ot ths Dead.
Nine Jives were lost in a fearful fire
which raged for a short while in
Church street, Charleston, Saturday
IE oraing. At 2:10 o'clock a po]iceman
on duty noticed big sparks fiving
from the tenement house at No. 160
Church street. The cfficsr found
that a blsze was issuirg from ore of
the windows on the first fioor. The
doors were broken open and the family
on that floor were rushed out with^
out damage. Somebody yelled that a
family of women were asleep on the
third floor. Tae police rushed up
stairs and when they reached the top
3tory the life saving work was stopped
by th6 -flames, which seemed to b?
playing over the entire buildicg
from cvm<r woman wftrfl

The quick work of ihe fire departmect
checked tne fire and it was soon under

I He was arrestf d and brought before

riddlicg his heart.
The shot utei was No. 4. sint, acd
the fact that iney did not scatter much i
shows that the co wardJy assassin was
very near his victim when the shot
was fired. Hungerpiller was suspicioned

house when he saw a flash find heard
the report of the gun. He bailed the
people in the houaefcs soon as hg could
get near enough and askeu what they
were crying about, and was told that
Howard had oeen shot. He then ran
and told his brother, who lived a
short distance from the dead man.
Hungerpiller says when the shot was
fired he saw a ?wagon driving along
the road about one hundred yards
beyond Howard's "house, but he did
not see any one leave the yard.
No one believes Hungerpillers story
and every one belives him to be the
dastardly assassin. Hungerpiller is
la 3 in, wnere ne will remain uc-j
til nis trial, the verdict of the coroner
s j iry having said he was the
guilty man. The coroner's jury was
composed of the following weii-kno^n J
citizens: Z. E. Gramling, foreman;
Joha Cart, R H. Jenrii&gs, J. T.
Park';, W. A. Edwards. A. J. Inabinet,
F. A. Ir-abinet, J. H. Pearson, H.
B. Collier, H. J. Caanoa, J. B. Stroman
and H. E. Boliver. Mr. Howard
was a nativ."* of North Carolina
and had lived in this county about
eight years. He wss about forty-five
j ears of age, and was well thought of
by his neighbors
A number of people went out from
OruDgeburg to the scene of the murder,
and never did their eyes fall upon
a sadder or more gruesome spectacle.
Lying on the floor, just as he
fell, wt.s the murdefed-man, his wire
prostrated with grief, and a number
of children too young to realize the
sad situation, were standing around
the aesd body gazing upon it in bewildered
amazement. The scene was
heart-rending.
The Orangeburg correspondent of
of the Coiumbia Register gives the
following account of the terrible
crime: Lawrence, H. Hungerpilltr
is a young in<in about 23 >ears of
age, who ha3 figured in previous diffi
cuities, having shot a negro severely
orJy about two mcnihs ago. He is
regarded as utterly worthless, without
rvincip'e, and dangerous when aroused.
Some time last summer Howard
lyupbt HuDgfrpilist's interest m ihe
old Hungerptlitr homestead; but the
young man remained there, making
tTn'c hie Virvrrio A"Kr?nt. i m/vntVi
asro Howard told him that he must
eilher go to work or move his kdging.
Tms incensed Hucgerpilier, who
swore vengeance against Howard,
even going with hi$ gun to Howard's
fieido^lya fe^v c^iys ago and there,
threatened to kill him but did not.
List niaht the poor man wss called
from bis house, and brutally shot
down like a dog.
Hungerpiller's own story convinced
the coroner's jury of his own guilt.
He admitted aeiug cut with his gun
late Saturday afternoon, but saiu he
was hunting birds. It was finally
pumped froai him ihat he nad only
ten shells with him a rather small sun
ply o*|amoaunititta forme sport of bird
huming. He said he was coming
aion? the road near Howard's and saw
a fllish and immediate!7 beard the re
port of a gun. He heard his mother
and sister screaming and, though ne
was armed, becni? ''talked briskly"
towards tnem. Upon his arrival his
mother lold him ,he trouble^, aud he
went on to tell his brother, Sam Eungerpilier,
taking his gun with him
and leaviag it at his brother^ as usual.

THE SCHEME of the. California Conjsolidtited
Ditch company comprised
a data across a mountain stream-.
l ?i/irnw rpsjprvn'r. :l (- >. nn! several
miles In length curving around the base
of a. granite butte. and farmers galore
upon the subjacent plain. The company""
was capitalized at. Sl.00o.000. and
its sole assets consisted of articles of incorporation.
office furniture, and a promoter.
This may seem a high inventory
value for a promoter, but a. good one is
worth it, and this man certainly had his
work cut out for him.
iWith an empty treasury, it became
necessary to reverse the rule obtaining
in similar engineering operations of beginning
at the head of the works, and to
secure lirst the land, secondly the settlers.
and lastly the water. The lands
included in this proposition were in:
use as grain fields and sheep ranges, and
as such, were valued at but a lew collars
per acre. With water for irrigation,
they could be subdivided into ten-acre
fruit /arms and sold for 20-fold their
present value. The problem before the
promoter was to buy these lands r.":thou
t- money, to Fell them without water,
and to get rich from, a commission, of 15
per cent. The company's problem was
to build the irrigation, works out of the
proceeds of lard saies, and to pay -for
the iand later from money received for
water tolls-. The promoter's instructions
were Biblical: "What thou hast
to do, do quickly." But on long- time,
sell for cash or good paper. The operation
was to be equivalent to kiting
checks on a grand scale. If they succeeded.
they were financiers; if they
failed, scamps.
"Fail?" quoth the promoter. "Itisn't
on the cards. Within two years we shall
have every ten-acre tract- sold and im
provea; in. nve years we saa.ii ue snipping1
fruit- by the train load. It is the
chance of a. lifetime to secure, -at nomii.'il
cost, a home- in the eitrus belt."
In one of the hot interior valleys of
California, on a still June morning-, a
vast liekl of ripe barley spread out on a
rolling plain, at the base of the butte.
like a great- copper-colored blanket. Itwas
as though the towering mountain
had risen suddenly from sleep and flung
aside bics covering. A harvesting machine,
itself well proportioned' to the
largeness of the task, moved slowly
along the margin of the grain! field, n>
rareling the blanket in- strips 20 feet
wide. This modem evolution of the
STpk-lpji-n^ ^ litthep-rain-threshed
O
it, put it into sacks,.and scattered the
straw. Forty mule?, eight abreast,
tugged and sweated at their task as they
dragged the machine upon, the long
slope. A cloud of protesting locusts in
front, a dust amd chaff cloud following'
?these with the four men of the crew,
were all the life and all the movement;
within the prospect.
"This is a. fine morning?I don'ti
think," said theman at the water-butt,J
putting his head into a, bucketful. "Is;
that breeze never a-coming? I've seen]
the sand-augers down the valley for an
hour."
"Hand, me up a can of that stuff and
don't get impatient," replied the driver.
"It is only about ten o'clock. You'll
have a. chance to sizzle for an hour yet."
The machine groaned and lumbered

gave the kicker a -chance to resume.:
"Say, is this place actually hotter than
every other place?"
"Oh. I don't know," -was the rejoinder;
"but I know you will think so
wherever- you happen) to be, in this
world or the next one."
"Xo wonder the old man has sold this
ranch for just about money enough to
oil the machine one season."
"What do yoxi mean? I heard eight
dollars an acre."
"He told me himself that he got only
$100 cash and gave two years' time. I
reckon he will get the land back. He
sold it twice before."
"If lie does get the land again he ll be
out two crops of grain," persisted the
kicker.
"'Much you know about it," said che
driver. "I tell you the old man is a
weather sharp. lie figures on a couple
of dry seasons after this big-crop. He
will save his seed and rest up the land,
get a small payment or two from these
fellows, and in about three years
we will be cutting him the big-'
gest crop he ever raised, with the mules
a-sweating and you a-kicking at wery
corner, just like now."
"What's the lay, anyhow?" asked th.?
oiler.
'"Why, haven't you heard about it?"
saia me driver; ~~ine game is <t uj%
ditch around the side of that butte, and
another garden of Eden blossoming
out right-here where we are standing!"
"Oh!" said the oiler.
"Oh, the deuce!" said the kicker.
The promoter went to a big eastern
city and opened? an office on a busy
street. Conspicuous signs announced
cheap and fertile irrigated lands in
the golden west. Few in the passing
crowds noticed, but many saw, the windows
dressed with tempting fruits.
Some entered, the office. Basfter street
methods are not available in the real
estate business, but once inside his
doors Our promoter asked odds of no
dealer and' rarely failed of Interesting
and convincing- those who crossed his
threshold. His fort? was frankness.
A plump and health v-lookingman, with
nothing- sinister about him except a
habit cf looking out at his customers
from under half-closed eyelids, he received
them without effusion and
opened upon them in this manner:
"Fruits in the window raised on our
lands? Certainly not. Our lands hare
no improvements whatever upon them.
That's why we offer them so cheap?
$150 per acre, and half on time. But
look at this map. Right here' is our
property. Just seven miles north is
Higbgrove, the famous orange colony;

advantages of both these communities.

Why has our tract not been improved

and a profitable business in. the fruit j

We raise *Jhe price to $200 per acre next j

you get one-half your transportation." j
Among many who heard this s?r-;i J
song- was a young drug clerk, lately \
married, who was looking about for ]
something better than the living af- j
forded by his present employment. :
After sereral visits to the land agent, *
he one n^-onndec his wife with j
-.ho announcement that he had-bought '
tfn acres of California land and had
jriver. up his place in the store to g-o
west. She cried a little?women are so
deficient in'enterprisc. so fearful of the
new and untried?but early autumn
saw the plan carried cut.
It was in the month of September
that Fred Fisher and his wife first saw
their California fruit farm.

Ktubblestill had few ether set tiers than j
the wary -jnckrabbit and the whistling- i
quail. A row of white fines on lathe
showed the "line of survey for a canal,
and parallel intersecting furrows at 1
regular intervals indicated the streets I
and avenues. By the aid of "the map
furnisshed purchasers our clerk identified
the "choice*' selection which he
had made, and knew so little of the re- :
quirements cf irrigation that he was
rather pleased to find it upon a little
knoll. Busy days followed; the cabin
which was :o serve as a dwelling until
a more pretentions house should be built
frcm the profits of the orchard was soori
put up and occupied. Many other newcomers
were building r.ear them.
"When I get over my Homesickness I
shall like this. Fred," said the wife one
day; "that is. if we can make a living
nere."
"There are twenty ways of doin*r
that," he answered; "'and the man said
the orchard would "be productive in
three years."
"But the water?" she questioned.
"Oh. 'the superintendent is sure the !
canal will be finished before next
sprir.*', ana he says that I can have
work with, the -construction- force all
winter."
Two years later the bubble had burst
and the canal company was hopeless*
ly insolvent. It had furnished much work
and little pay to Fred and to a hundred j
oiher settlers as unsophisticated as he.
The canal was incomplete: not a drop
of water had ever reached the parched 1
soil upon the little knoll they called j
their home. Even the ' ustomary rainy
season had failed them, and the effort i
to raise a crop cf grain upon their small j
holding had resulted only in loss of labor
and of seed. The wife had been :
hopeful and helpful until the'baby came !
to the 'cabin for a little time and thence !
to a neighboring- cemetery. Now she
was very ill, and Fred was impoverished.
The old farmer had foreclosed on his
blanket mortgage, and already with
his gang plows was restoring the big
field to its former aspect. The cabins ;
that dotted it .here and there, if not removed
by 'the settlers', were torn down |
when the plows reached them, and only
ragged board piles and mounds of earth
where -cellars had .been dug marked
their former suites.
