Hester on the Tick Trial, so Yeeteurday I went to a tick trial. T'oe weather was. awful; a st !ady W" noertheast wihd with uunceesing rain. Not a drop of stimulant in the crowd; 1 did see one fellow with a vial of kartshorn. . er Soon after. I got. there in camne a Lb buggyload from Pickens, and. In a " 'abort time other well fild vehicles, t with negro drivers, oamu in from all ou1 parts of the counmtr--finely.-dressed al people, witnoses amnd jurors, All this knokle~d mn. out of any wits. I looked up and ~.own the tall man from Pizcken9. whbo had on a c >at like a va :uy grandpa'c. overcoist, and then I y looked' up and dlown those; fnely dressed men and at their negro driv. ers- and I began to think maybe I' ver saw a tick. That they might larger than the calf they were ving about, because I beard a truth woman say the calf was not rth $3. And then again I heard ne one say that the calf walked -ough the cracks of a feuoo, and it Aldn't have got through the fence the tick-, had boon as large as I "gino they are. [ again I iuked at those finely s9el people and that other fellow ;h mi grandpa's overcoat on, I )mlght of the weather and the road m Pickensg and tho road from Eas , and my mind ran out to Olemson I then up' *o Washargton, and I 14n It) wondeir what brains were do out of. I would have loved to ve eewn thoie people with their fide I thes < f. It surely would have anged their looks considerably,. But soie of the crowd were not Vildered. I heard them arguing tick question. Thoy said they 1 used the "remedy' thoroughly, I had come out with more ticke i kie cow-e. One fellow said, entiugay, that he would have to without milk, for all the male vs were quatrantined in his conn , and he would have r.o more vea at bit house. I told him to his cow a permit. "Why," he d, "ticks are as liable to drop off saw quarantined as one that was t." So I began to learn where the %ins are if I couldn't tell what they r'e made of. I don't know much, L it seems to me that such under kings a' that would th.ow a shadow or our institutions of learning. But the finely-dreassed men were so ercome by braini that they had e. trial put off on the grounds of at little witness not being present, io would have sworn that the calf Awl ed out through the cracks in his 1ce and was roaming at large, scat. -ing those ticks (as I imagine them, big as horept.). around among his igi. bors, and for the owner to come I get it. When I come to Iy wits again I lieve 1 will be able to say tlie tieks te exceedingly large or' there re brains exceedingly small, one the other.
